The Alpha's Rejected Omega The Curse of Power
LorienThe room was too quiet.Not the peaceful kind of quiet. The kind that made your heart race because it felt like something was lurking just beyond the silence, waiting to pounce.They’d taken me to the inner chamber—Kieran’s personal medical space for intense cases. The walls were covered with herbs I couldn’t name, strange symbols chalked faintly along the edges. It smelled of earth and bitter root, like a forest that had never been touched by sunlight.They’d brought in a cradle for Lucian, at least. He was resting there now, his soft breaths making the silence bearable.But I couldn’t let go of Caius.I cradled him against my chest, holding him like someone might rip him away the moment I loosened my grip. My arms ached, but the fear in my chest was louder than the pain in my muscles.Was this what a cage felt like? Soft walls. Low lighting. But chains around your soul?I stared down at my son. His lashes fluttered, dreaming of something he didn’t understand. Completely unawa
The Alpha's Rejected Omega Tension Beneath the Throne
LorienI was still reeling from what had just happened. The image of that glow—the way it danced around Caius like some silent, ancient guardian—hadn’t left my mind. But what haunted me even more was the sinking feeling curling at the edges of my chest.I hadn’t done anything useful for this pack. Not really.Sure, I’d completed a few well-calculated missions. Smuggled in some high-demand narcotics the pack relied on. Killed three people.I forced that last thought back into the dark place I kept it. I didn’t want to think about the blood that still lingered beneath my nails, even after so many washes.But when it came to the one thing that might’ve truly mattered—helping Matthias secure drugs from my former pack—I’d been absolutely useless. Every lead I’d chased had turned cold. Every route, blocked. And I hated that it made me feel disposable again. Replaceable. Like my only worth was in what I could do, not who I was.The conversation I’d just had with Matthias had already left a s
The Alpha's Rejected Omega Unspoken Light
Lorien“What the hell is that?”Kieran’s voice cut through the tension like a blade, sharp and full of disbelief. I flinched, heart hammering against my ribs as I turned fully toward Caius. My son was still giggling—giggling—as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening. As if he weren’t toying with something that no one could understand.The glow wasn’t coming from him—it hovered around him, a wispy, swirling white light that pulsed softly just above his tiny hands and lips. It shimmered like mist caught in sunlight, curling and uncurling with a strange, hypnotic rhythm, dancing in response to his little fingers.I had never seen anything like it. Not from a wolf. Not from a human. Not from anything.The guards stood rooted to the spot, faces pale and drawn, like statues carved from stone. Their chests rose and fell in shallow, uneven breaths. They didn’t blink. They didn’t move.And Kieran—Kieran was looking at Caius like he’d just watched him split the moon open.“Lorien,” Kieran
The Alpha's Rejected Omega A Flame Unspoken
Lorien“I-It wasn’t my fault,” I stammered, backing away from Alpha Mathias’s touch as my voice cracked. “What happened back in the Blood Fang Pack… I didn’t mean for it to happen. I—I was trying to protect my sons. That’s all I was doing. You have to understand that.”I kept retreating until my back hit the wall. My breath came in short, uneven bursts, and my heart thudded so loudly in my ears that I barely heard my own words.Alpha Mathias didn’t move. He stood still, watching me with that unreadable expression—an edge of frustration beneath his calm exterior.“You were spying,” he said, voice low and unyielding. “Even if it was unintentional, Lorien, you fed information to the enemy.”My throat tightened. “No—I didn’t know! I swear, I didn’t know Julian was listening, or that he’d traced me. I would never have led danger here on purpose.”“You ask me to understand, but how can I trust you,” he murmured, “when you won’t even give me the chance to love you? To care for you?”His words
The Alpha's Rejected Omega The Price of Praise
LorienI was breathless by the time I reached the throne. My legs trembled beneath me, my arms aching to take the twins back from the men holding them. I could see Lucien fidgeting, his brows knit in discomfort, and Caius had that telltale wrinkle near his nose that warned of an oncoming cry.“Give them to me,” I hissed, struggling against the two guards still gripping my arms. “Let me hold them. Please.”But they wouldn’t release me. Their hands were firm, not cruel, but unyielding.“Alpha’s orders,” one muttered under his breath.I barely heard him. My attention was locked on Lucien’s soft whimper. My body screamed with the urge to tear myself free, to soothe them both, but the hands on my arms held fast.Alpha Matthias still sat atop the throne, silent as stone, but his gaze was thunderous. He stood slowly, descending the steps one by one, his long coat sweeping behind him like the tail of some patient predator. His presence was chilling—controlled and yet dangerous.“Explain what
The Alpha's Rejected Omega Shadows at the Market.
LorienThe scent of lavender clung faintly to the walls, but no matter how soft the sheets or clean the kitchen, the house didn’t feel like mine. Kieran had dropped me off two days ago with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes and a promise that things would “settle in.” I’d believed him—for a moment. Then he introduced Amy.The nanny stood stiffly by the door, her hands clasped in front of her like she was in mourning. Her expression didn’t shift, not even when Lucien cooed at her with a gummy smile. She simply inclined her head slightly, like she was memorizing him for a report.I didn’t like her.“She’s here to help,” Kieran had insisted when I pulled him aside that same day. “You can’t do this alone, Lorien. You need to recover. Alpha Matthias will want you back at work soon.”“I *can* do this alone,” I’d snapped, keeping my voice low so the twins wouldn’t sense the tension. “I’ve *been* doing this alone.”Kieran’s jaw tightened, but his voice was calm. “You were barely standing whe
The Alpha's Rejected Omega All I Have Left
LorienThere was a smell—faint antiseptic and lavender. A dim light above. My eyelids were heavy, and my limbs heavier. My mouth was dry, and my mind clouded, like I’d just been pulled from underwater.And then I remembered.My stomach.My hand shot down, trembling. The gown was thin, and under it, I felt… flat.Empty.“No, no, no—” My voice came out hoarse. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain burst through my ribs. My vision spun, stars dancing before my eyes. I slumped back down, gasping.Where were they? Where were they?“Help!” I rasped, my throat raw. “Someone—please!”The door flew open. The doctor rushed in, followed by someone I didn’t recognize. A woman in dark robes, strange symbols stitched in silver on the hem. Her hair was white as snow, her eyes a piercing silver that didn’t look quite human.“Lorien, calm down,” the doctor said softly, coming to my side. “You’re safe. You’re in the clinic.”“Where are they?” I croaked. “My babies. Where are they?”“They’re alive,” the wo
The Alpha's Rejected Omega Fire and Smoke
MatthiasThe bitter taste of smoke filled my lungs, and for once, it wasn’t the kind I craved.I exhaled slowly, watching the curling stream rise in lazy spirals above my head. The stick between my fingers was carved from dark mahogany, inlaid with tiny silver runes. My personal piece—custom-made, enchanted to preserve the burn longer. Only the finest for Alpha Matthias Delacroix.And yet today, it tasted like ash.“Damn it,” I muttered, grinding my teeth. I flicked the ash into the crystal tray beside the velvet armchair and leaned back, the weight of fury anchoring me deeper into the cushions. The weed barely tempered the fire in my blood. It coiled in my chest, tighter with every passing second.Four months. Four goddamn months of planning.Gone.Burned to hell like dry parchment in a wildfire.I wanted blood. I wanted to rip something apart with my bare hands—tear skin from bone, shred muscle, hear the satisfying crunch of cartilage under pressure.No—better. I wanted Cassius.His
The Alpha's Rejected Omega Blood in the Snow
Lorien The forest was quiet, too quiet. Only the sound of our frantic footsteps broke through the snow-blanketed silence. My breath came in broken gasps, sharp and painful, fogging the air in front of me. Kieran had one arm around my waist, half-dragging, half-carrying me, his steps firm despite the terrain.My legs were barely holding me upright.“Keep going, Lorien,” he whispered fiercely, sweat glistening on his forehead despite the cold. “We’re almost there.”But I couldn’t.Every step was a war, every breath a loss. Pain tore through my abdomen again—sharp, fiery, like claws shredding me from the inside. I winced, almost doubling over.Behind us, the wolves that had been pursuing us weren’t far.“They’re close!” one of our escorts snapped in a whisper, ears twitching.I clenched my jaw. “No. Stop. You need to leave me behind. Kieran—listen to me—we’re slowing you down. Go back. Get Matthias. He’ll know what to do—”“Lorien, shut the hell up,” Kieran growled, not looking at me. “
