Lorien

The sound of the door creaking open froze both of us, breath ragged, eyes darting toward the entrance.

And there she was.

Isabella.

For a full second, I genuinely forgot she existed.

Not because she wasn’t important—but because for once, for a breath in time, it felt like it was just Cassius and me. Like everything else had faded into fog. The kiss was still fresh on my lips, and my heart hadn’t stopped sprinting since the moment he leaned in. But there she was now—reality, obligation, fury in six-inch heels.

She looked at us like she’d walked in on betrayal itself.

And technically… she had.

I swallowed thickly and glanced back at Cassius. His lips were still red—still wet from me. His cheeks flushed under my gaze, and I lifted my fingers subtly, swiping across my own lips to signal that he needed to fix his damn face. He blinked, then quickly looked away, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, a quiet, guilty motion that made me almost laugh.

Gods, we were idiots.

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   What Broke Me

    Lorien I tried hard not to cry as I carried my sons into the cottage.I didn’t want to stay in the guest room. I couldn’t bear the walls that still smelled of him, still echoed with memories of us. I couldn’t take the look on Cassius’s face when he told me to leave. I couldn’t take anything at all anymore.The world was crashing down around me again, and this time, it was somehow worse.Caius clung to my shirt as I kicked the door open. Lucian was wrapped in his blanket, quiet, pale, eyes barely open. Caius had cried the whole way here, and now his small fingers tugged at me as I laid him on the bed beside his brother.“Where’s Daddy?” he whispered.I didn’t answer.“Why isn’t Daddy coming?” he asked again, and this time, his voice cracked. “Lucian’s sick, and you said Daddy could fix it—”“Caius,” I warned.He didn’t stop. “He said Daddy would never leave us again—”“Caius!” I shouted, the word bursting out of me like a bullet.He flinched like I’d hit him.His eyes welled instantly

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Ghosts in the Frame

    CassiusJulian was already inside my room when I got there.I didn’t like that.Didn’t like the familiarity.Didn’t like the timing.Didn’t like the look on his face.He straightened from where he was leaning against the wall like he belonged there. Like he hadn’t nearly shattered every bit of trust between us.“I want to talk,” he said carefully.I raised a brow, already tired. “We’ve done enough talking, Julian.”My voice came out flat, detached. I was too worn down for theatrics, too disillusioned to fake interest. My soul felt like it had been chewed up, spat out, and stomped on. I was barely holding myself together.Julian’s eyes flickered. “Please, Cassius. Just this once. Hear me out.”“Talking isn’t going to fix anything. If words fixed things, we wouldn’t be in this mess.” I walked past him, peeled off my jacket, and tossed it onto the chair.He didn’t move.I wanted him gone. I wanted to breathe.But Julian was good at this.He always knew how to hold just enough emotion in

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Painted Truths and Shattered Control

    CassiusThe silence between us stretched thin as we walked down the corridor toward the guest wing. I could feel Lorien’s tension beside me like a second skin, barely held together by resolve. My thoughts were still stuck on the scene earlier—the argument, the pain in Lorien’s eyes, the truth that had torn its way free and left Julian standing exposed in its ruin.When we reached the room where the Alpha of the Blue-Stone Pack was staying, the door was already ajar. I frowned and pushed it open further, only to find him standing in front of one of the paintings hung on the wall. A strange one, at that. A bird painted mid-flight—its wings black as midnight, its eyes a glowing amber.The Alpha didn’t turn. His hands were folded behind his back, gaze transfixed.“It’s strange,” he said, tone mild. “I was just staring at this painting and realized something was wrong. Something very wrong.”My brows drew together. “A painting told you that?”He glanced over his shoulder at us, his express

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Fractures

    CassiusI stood still for a moment after Lorien walked away. The imprint of his warmth lingered against my skin, but the chill in my chest spread faster than I could fight it.Julian.My Beta. My best friend. My brother.I turned to face him slowly, my steps silent but deliberate. His eyes dropped the moment mine locked on his, but it didn’t matter. He could lower his gaze all he wanted—he couldn’t hide.“I thought you were my friend,” I said, and even I could hear the cold edge laced into every word. “My brother. My Beta.”Julian flinched.“I trusted you.”His eyes welled with tears, and I almost hated him more for that. He didn’t get to cry. Not today. Not after everything.“You think I don’t know?” I continued, voice low and venomous. “You think I don’t see now? You helped lie to me. Manipulate me. You stood beside me like everything was fine while feeding me garbage.”“Cassius—” His voice broke, soft and cracked. “Please…”“No,” I snapped, stepping closer. “Don’t Cassius me. You d

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   The Edge of Truth

    LorienI hated the way she said it.Like her words were gospel, like I was some creature slithering into a space that didn’t belong to me. Like I didn’t already carry enough doubt in my chest to crush me.My fists curled at my sides, but I kept my mouth shut—for now.Isabella looked right at Cassius as if I didn’t exist. “Aren’t the scars on my body proof enough?” she said, voice trembling with indignation. “Or do you need him to spell out how he’s trying to take you from me?”I stiffened. I hated how she used those scars like a weapon, twisting them to mean something they didn’t. My heart beat faster, not out of guilt—but fear. Fear that Cassius might listen to her. That he might believe it.Cassius’s jaw ticked, but before he could respond, the Alpha of the Blue Stone Pack stepped forward.I’d seen him composed and unreadable. A wall of silence. But now… rage flickered beneath his calm. His energy shifted like a storm about to break.“You haven’t changed,” he said sharply, his voice

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Truth in the Cracks

    CassiusJulian thought I was an idiot.That much was clear.I stood there, watching him, fury simmering just beneath my skin. He had the nerve to stand before me again like nothing happened—like I hadn’t just witnessed him drop to the floor and claw at himself like a possessed animal. I might’ve been unraveling, but I wasn’t blind. I saw everything. The twitch in his eyes. The desperation in the way he moved. The lies sliding too easily from his lips.And I was tired.Tired of pretending not to see.Tired of being fed half-truths.Tired of being played.But none of that mattered—not now. Right now, all that mattered was the man standing next to me. Lorien.He looked too calm, and that alone sent warning bells through my mind. Lorien wasn’t calm unless something was weighing on him.I turned to him, needing to understand why. Why he left. Why he brought another Alpha into my territory. Why everything felt like it was crumbling beneath my feet.“Why did you do it?” I asked, eyes locked
