⋅ ⋅ ⚘ALEXIA'S POINT OF VIEW⚘ ⋅ ⋅

Darkness was the only thing surrounding me.

Slowly, the heavy fog over my mind began to lift, and my eyelids fluttered open. Soft, warm sunlight seeped into my vision, blinding me for a split second before the room finally came into focus.

I looked around, disoriented.

I was lying on a soft, plush mattress beneath warm silk sheets in a grand bedroom.

How did I get here?

Fragmented memories of the wilderness flashed through my mind — the towering trees, t

    ⋅ ⋅ ♛ MASON POINT OF VIEW ♛ ⋅ ⋅ “But that’s what you told me, Mason,” Ava said, her voice wavering. “You said yourself that if you didn’t find your fated mate, you would marry Heather.” “I was uncertain back then. And I said that to you once,” I growled, taking a step closer. “You can’t use me to buy your way back into your daughter’s heart. You made your choice years ago, Ava. Now Heather gets to decide what happens next — not you, and certainly not through me. Ava flinched as if I had struck her. “I know you had your reasons back then, whatever they were, but Heather was the one who paid the price for them. She grew up without you, Ava. You can’t expect her to forget that simply because you regret it now.” The anger in my chest faltered when I saw the hurt in her eyes. For a heartbeat, I wanted to take back the harshness in my voice. Instead, I clenched my jaw and held her gaze. Pity had no place in a decision that would shape the rest of my life. “Alpha King… you don’t have

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA'S KING   Chapter 42: A Question of Trust

    ⋅ ⋅ ♛ MASON POINT OF VIEW ♛ ⋅ ⋅ The only reason I agreed to this damn feast was because of Alexia. I hoped a gathering might give her a chance to clear her mind. At least, that was what I told myself. And I knew I couldn't keep allowing Heather to push the boundaries of my patience. She was growing bolder, banking on the fact that I wouldn't slaughter her because of the immense respect I held for her parents and her father's years of loyal service as Beta. But my patience was wearing dangerously thin. I could tolerate her jealousy, her schemes, even her delusional belief that she had a place beside me. What I couldn't tolerate was her hurting Alexia. And if Heather crossed that line again, I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep my wolf on a leash. Even now, the beast stirred beneath my skin at the thought of her hurting Alexia again. I returned to my study after Alexia walked out on me, my heart aching and my wolf howling in raw agony at the distance between us.

    ⋅ ⋅ ⚘ALEXIA'S POINT OF VIEW⚘ ⋅ ⋅ "Yes... it was in the past," he snapped, his voice rough with frustration. "You had a past too, Alexia! You were about to marry Drake, and I never questioned you—" "Because I never hid it from you!" I yelled back, my tears spilling over. "You knew everything about Drake from the very beginning! But you hid Heather from me... and I know what I saw with my own eyes!" "Heather kissed me, damn it!" Mason exclaimed, taking a step toward me. "I didn't kiss her! And the only reason I was ever going to marry her in the first place was because of the unrelenting pressure from the elders on my council! That was the only fucking reason!" I could only stare at him, searching his face for the slightest crack in his certainty. If he was telling the truth, then why had he hidden her from me? Why had I been forced to find out by seeing them together? My fingers curled into my palms as I fought the urge to look away. I wanted to believe him so badly that it frigh

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA'S KING   Chapter 40: The Answer in His Silence

    ⋅ ⋅ ⚘ALEXIA'S POINT OF VIEW⚘ ⋅ ⋅ When Kaia told me about his past with Heather — when she revealed what Ava had said — something inside me seemed to crack, but I forced myself to breathe and held on to the reasons I had trusted him Because somewhere deep inside, I still couldn't believe Ava would lie to manipulate me. I thought about the moments between Mason and me — the way he looked at me, the softness that sometimes crept into his voice, and all those little things that had made me believe I was finally getting through to him. And I had let myself believe that the way his arms tightened around me this morning, the way his touch lingered, meant something. That whatever had happened before me, he had chosen me now. I couldn't keep expecting him to do all the heavy lifting in our relationship. If I wanted us to have a chance, I had to step up and fight for us, too. So, I walked down to the kitchen and asked Ava to help me make him a fresh cup of coffee. It wasn't much — just

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA'S KING   Chapter 39: A Damning Sight

    ⋅ ⋅ ♛ MASON POINT OF VIEW ♛ ⋅ ⋅ I couldn't believe those stubborn fools were actually tearing at each other's throats over something as petty as a piece of bread. I had already made the terms crystal clear to the Silvermoon: if they were willing to bow their heads to me and Alexia, they were welcome to integrate into my pack. If not, they could pack their shit and survive as rogues or loners. The choice was entirely theirs. Zarek could handle the rest of their squabbling. I had far more important things to focus on — namely, finding every spare second I could to spend with my mate. Last night had been absolute bliss. I hadn't slept that deeply or peacefully since the first night we'd slept in the same bed, and waking up with her soft body warm against mine this morning had nearly driven me mad with desire. I walked into my office and sat down at my desk, determined to clear through the lingering mountain of pack reports as quickly as possible so I could hurry back to her room.

    ⋅ ⋅ ⚘ALEXIA'S POINT OF VIEW⚘ ⋅ ⋅ I sat at the vanity, slowly drawing the brush through my dark hair, trying to keep my restless mind occupied. A few hours ago, Zarek had knocked urgently on the door, calling Mason away because a fierce brawl had broken out among some of the Silvermoon pack members in the hall. Since then, I had remained alone in the room. I hadn't even bothered to step outside; my breakfast had been brought up on a tray, and I had eaten by myself. Yet, no matter how hard I tried to focus on my surroundings, I couldn't stop thinking about last night — the overwhelming heat of his touch, the taste of him, and the raw devotion in his eyes. I rested my palm over my lower stomach, a smile touching my lips. “My sweet child...” I whispered to the warmth beneath my hand. “I promise you, I am going to give you the best, most loving family you could ever wish for. Just like the wonderful bond I had with my own parents.” A sudden ache squeezed my heart. I missed them so muc
