Lorien

The guest room was bigger than I expected—almost absurdly big. The walls were a soft cream color, and there was a huge bed with thick blankets that looked far too fancy for someone like me. I hovered awkwardly by the door, unsure if I should even step further in. Everything felt too pristine, too untouched. Like I might ruin it just by breathing too hard.

Before I could decide whether to sit or not, the door swung open again and Matthias strode inside.

I stiffened, pulse jumping in my throat. He didn't say anything at first, just closed the door behind him and stared at me, his arms crossed over his chest. There was something heavy about the way he looked at me—something that made me feel small and trapped.

“Sit,” he said simply.

I hesitated, but Matthias was already crossing the room. His hand landed firmly on my shoulder and he pushed me down into the nearest chair. It wasn’t rough, exactly, but it was firm enough that I knew better than to argue. My heart hammered in m

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Bad Auras and Stray Dogs

    LorienI rolled my eyes so hard I thought they might stay that way when Cassius said, “He’s just like you. Always wants things to go his way.”“He is not—” I started, but my words caught in my throat as I glanced toward the kids. My heart lurched. Caius and the boy from earlier weren’t just talking anymore—they were fighting. Fists. Kicks. Shouts.“Caius!” I gasped, already sprinting across the park like the ground might swallow them whole if I didn’t get there in time. Cassius was right behind me, but I reached them first, grabbing Caius by the waist and pulling him back just as the other boy landed a punch to his cheek.“Enough!” Cassius barked, stepping between them with that Alpha tone that made even grown wolves flinch. The boy stumbled backward, wide-eyed.“Did you just hit my son?”The child’s mouth opened and closed like a fish, but he didn’t speak. Before it could escalate, Cassius sighed and turned to Caius, crouching to meet his eyes. “And you. You don’t hit people either.

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   A Fragile Thread

    Lorien I didn’t realise what I had done until I saw the way Caius slumped his little shoulders and quietly padded off toward his room. He didn’t cry. He didn’t whimper. He just walked away.And that silence—gods, that silence shredded me.“Lorien, what the hell was that?” Cassius’s voice cut into me like a blade. “He’s three years old! Do you realise what you just did?”I blinked, staring at the empty space Caius had just stood in. The heat of my own anger was still pulsing beneath my skin, but now it was turning into something colder—guilt, thick and suffocating. My hands trembled, and I couldn’t even lift my head to meet Cassius’s glare.“I…” I began, but the words caught in my throat. “I didn’t mean to. I didn’t—I wasn’t trying to hurt him.”Cassius scoffed bitterly, pacing in front of me. “Then what were you trying to do, Lorien? Scare him into silence? Shame him for being who he is?”I bowed my head as shame flooded me, washing away whatever scraps of justification I might have

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Cracks Beneath the Surface

    CassiusI shut the door behind us with a quiet thud, the soft click of the latch sounding much louder in the silence that followed. Antoinette didn’t say a word, just watched me as I led the way down the familiar corridor toward the study. It was strange walking these halls again—places I’d once run through as a kid, playing games and hiding behind pillars. Now, everything felt stiff, formal. Cold.I opened the door to the study and walked in first. The scent of aged paper, leather, and old whiskey hit me immediately. It hadn’t changed in years. Antoinette followed quietly, his presence heavy behind me.I made my way to the leather armchair in the corner, one I used to pretend was a throne when I was younger. Sitting down, I folded my arms across my chest and looked up at my cousin—no, the Alpha. I didn’t care about titles, though. Not here. Not with him.Antoinette shook his head with a faint smirk and took the other chair, sinking into it like he owned the room. I guess he did now.

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Flames and Fingers

    LorienI couldn’t hold it in any longer.“What is going on?” I asked, staring between the two of them like they had grown matching sets of horns.Cassius and Antoinette—yes, Antoinette—burst into laughter, throwing their heads back like I had just told the best joke in the world. The two of them looked like they hadn’t seen each other in years, and the tension that had been practically boiling earlier was now gone like mist in sunlight.Antoinette grinned at me, his eyes shining with amusement. “You really fell for it, didn’t you?”Cassius smirked beside me, smug as always. “Don’t feel bad, love. I didn’t warn you on purpose.”I blinked. “You two were playing a prank on me?”Antoinette nodded, clearly proud. “I just wanted this arrogant cousin of mine to beg a little. Maybe see some humility for once.”Cassius scoffed. “Please. I didn’t beg.”“You did,” Antoinette said with a snicker. “You just did it with your chest puffed out.”I folded my arms and shook my head. “You people are ins

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Echoes of Bloodlines

    LorienI rolled my eyes as Cassius squared his shoulders and looked like he was about to throw a punch at the Beta. For someone supposedly trying to earn the goodwill of a pack, he sure had a knack for pissing people off. His fists clenched at his sides, his body tense like a coiled spring ready to snap. The guards around the gate mirrored his aggression, and I could already sense the tension humming between the two sides like a taut wire waiting to be severed.“Of course,” I muttered under my breath. “This is exactly what we need right now.”The Beta, tall and built like a stone wall, narrowed his eyes. “Turn around and leave. You’ve got no business here.”Cassius took a threatening step forward. “I came to see the Alpha. Not his dogs.”And that was it. I’d had enough.I stepped between them, putting a hand firmly on Cassius’s chest. “Would you stop trying to fight everyone?” I snapped, glaring up at him.He didn’t budge.“We’re not here to fight a war,” I said, louder this time so t

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Fractured Legacy

    CassiusI sat at my desk, eyes fixed on the wall, but I wasn’t seeing anything. My thoughts were a tangled mess—an endless maze I couldn’t escape. The silence of my office was heavy, but I couldn’t bring myself to break it. For the first time in my life, I had no idea what to do.This pack—my pack—the Ironclad Pack my father had built with blood, sweat, and unshakable will, was falling apart right under my command. And the terrifying part wasn’t just the betrayal, or the sickness that plagued my sons, or the elders trying to twist the truth. It was that I was starting to see just how much of the rot had begun from within.I slowly pulled open the drawer and took out the folded sketch I’d kept hidden there. It was a pencil portrait of Isabella—elegant lines and soft shadows. My father had commissioned it himself. According to him and Julian, she was supposed to be my equal. My partner. A force that would complement mine.But the longer I stared at her image, the more my chest burned wi
