Lorien

Just as the last of the intruders dropped at my feet, I didn’t wait for the dust to settle.

I ran—like a man possessed. Like a father who’d nearly lost everything. My boots hit the earth hard, lungs burning as I crossed the blood-streaked clearing. Each heartbeat was a scream in my chest, hammering against my ribs with the same ferocity as the war that had just ended. The metallic tang of blood filled the air—some of it theirs, some of it ours. Smoke curled into the darkening sky, the remnants of battle crackling like whispers of death.

Lucian and Caius were still by the tree. My boys. My babies.

A sound escaped me—half gasp, half sob—as I dropped to my knees and pulled them into my arms. I crushed them against me, arms trembling with the effort to keep them safe, to reassure myself they were still here, still breathing. The scent of their hair, warm with sweat and smoke, grounded me like nothing else.

My breath came in broken pants, chest heaving with more than exertion. My he

  • 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

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Frost Beneath the Surface

    LorienThe wind was sharp, and the scent of Blood Fang Pack hit me harder than I expected.I stood just beyond their gates, the looming iron arch above my head feeling heavier than it ever had. The last time I passed through here, my heart had been in pieces, my body heavy with exhaustion and betrayal. This time, my head was clear, but my chest still ached in a different way.Because I knew Cassius was somewhere inside.And I hated—absolutely hated—that I had to keep him in suspense.But it had to be done.Beside me, the Alpha of the Blue Stone Pack stood still, arms crossed over his broad chest, expression unreadable. I knew others feared him. I understood why. Power pulsed from him like silent thunder, calm and coiled, like he could bring down the mountain if he felt like it. But right now, he just looked… bored.Like this whole situation was just mildly inconvenient.The guards, though? They looked like they were seconds from lunging at us.“Turn around,” one growled. “You’re not w

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   A Storm Beneath My Skin

    CassiusMy knuckles were bleeding.Again.I didn’t even flinch as I slammed them against the boulder for what had to be the twentieth time. The skin had split open, raw and angry, but it didn’t match the fire tearing through my chest.Lucian.My son. My brave, brilliant boy.He’d lost his powers.And it was my fault.I growled, my forehead pressed against the cold rock as I tried to steady my breathing, but every inhale only fanned the fury inside me. The wind bit at my skin, and the forest around me stayed painfully silent, like it didn’t dare interrupt my breakdown.My wolf stirred restlessly, clawing at the edges of my mind. He whimpered, licking at the wounds on the inside of me. I ignored him. I shoved him down, buried him beneath layers of guilt and blame. If I was suffering, he should too. He deserved it. He was part of me—part of the monster that let this happen.I had sworn to protect Lucian. To protect both my boys.But what kind of Alpha lets his son suffer like that?I dro
