“Caius!”

My knees hit the ground before I realized I was falling.

I grabbed him—his body too still, too cold—and pulled him into my arms. His skin felt clammy against mine. His lips were tinted blue. His little fingers hung limp in my grasp like broken stems. My heart shattered so loudly I could hear it echo in my ears, drowning out everything else.

“No—no, no—don’t do this.” My voice trembled, cracked, fell apart like dry leaves. “Why wouldn’t you just listen to me, Caius?” I cradled his face, brushing hair from his forehead, my thumbs wiping at the blood that streamed from his nose. “I told you not to push it—I told you to rest—but you didn’t listen, and now—” My voice choked.

I was sobbing.

In front of everyone.

Warriors stood in silence, staring, some with sympathy, others with shock. I didn’t care. Let them think I was weak. Let them see. Let them feel it.

“He didn’t listen,” I whispered, rocking him gently in my arms. “I should’ve stopped him. I should’ve taken him away f

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Breaking Points

    LorienLucian’s voice cut through the silence like a whip, sharp and commanding in a way that startled even me."Then figure out something else," he said, glaring up at the witch. His little body was trembling, but his voice didn’t waver.The witch turned to him slowly, as if she were truly seeing him for the first time. Her eyes widened, and something unreadable passed over her face—fear, awe, maybe recognition.“You,” she whispered, stepping closer, the tip of her staff tapping against the floor. “You were the one from the first prophecy…”Lucian blinked, confused, but didn’t back down.The witch’s eyes glowed a soft green. Her voice lowered into a chant-like rhythm, almost like she wasn’t speaking to us anymore.“Born of pain, between two cursed lines… the blood of the broken shall decide the fate of all.”I felt my stomach tighten. I’d heard her say those words before.“Time is thinning,” she said, her voice suddenly returning to the present. “You must act, or death will decide fo

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Bloodlines and Betrayals

    LorienI was shaking. Not from the cold or the exhaustion, but from something far worse—realization. The kind that sits heavy in your chest and claws at your gut like it’s trying to dig its way out. It wasn’t just dread—it was the sharp, bone-deep ache of being reminded once again just how powerless I truly was.I sat in silence, my arms wrapped tightly around Lucian, who trembled against me, his small fingers twisted into the fabric of my shirt. Both of us sat frozen, our eyes fixed on Caius’s body laid across the cot, too still, too pale. His chest barely rose beneath the worn linen, his breath so shallow it was almost imperceptible. His little fingers didn’t twitch. His lips were turning that horrible grey-blue shade I had seen once before—right before his last fever had nearly taken him.And yet, despite everything—despite the urgency, the fear, the choking panic—I couldn’t move. Couldn’t think. The room felt warped, like a nightmare, like the world had shifted just slightly off

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   The Weight of Power

    LorienJust 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   To Stand and To Stay

    LorienI wasn’t torn.Not in the way people always assumed I’d be—between my duties and my children. No, for me, the choice was always clear. I looked down at Lucian, at the panic swimming in his silver eyes. It wasn’t the fear of a child who didn’t want to be left alone. It was something deeper. A fear that whatever came next would shatter the peace we’d barely managed to stitch together.He was breathing heavily, fists clenched at his sides as if he were bracing himself for bad news.I crouched in front of him, placing a steady hand on his arm. “I’m not leaving,” I said quietly. “Not you. Not Caius. I’ve never left, have I?”Lucian bit down on his lip, brows drawn. “I acted like a spoilt brat this afternoon,” he muttered. “But I won’t stand in your path if you need to go. I know the pack needs you.”His words were mature—too mature—and they tore through me. I brushed my thumb over his knuckles, grounding us both.“I said I’m not leaving,” I repeated, firmer this time. “You and your

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Midnight Ashes

    LorienThat night, I sat outside the little cottage, the sky wide and dark above me, filled with stars that felt too distant to matter. The cool night wind brushed against my face, rustling the low trees that surrounded our quiet shelter. In my hand, I cradled a half-full glass of pale wine—something I’d lifted during one of my less-than-noble heists. I wasn’t proud of that, but tonight, I needed something to dull the ache.The ache always came at night.It crept in through cracks I’d patched up during the day, seeping into my bones and whispering old memories. The kind I didn’t want but couldn’t stop.I closed my eyes, tipped the glass against my lips, and drank slowly.The night I walked in on him—Cassius, with a woman—it replayed in flashes like a cruel movie reel that never ended. The way he looked at her. The curve of his hand around her waist. His mouth on hers. As if I had never existed. As if we hadn’t shared something sacred. As if I hadn't bled for loving him.It was so easy

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   A Battle I Couldn't Win

    LorienI reached for him—slowly, carefully—but Lucien stepped back.The movement wasn’t aggressive. It was small, barely more than a shift of his weight as he took a step away. But to me, it felt like the world cracked open beneath my feet. The distance between us wasn’t even two feet, yet it might as well have been an ocean.My hand hung uselessly in the air, fingers splayed like I was still hoping he’d change his mind and meet me halfway. But he didn’t. He just stood there, frozen, like the very idea of my touch was something he didn’t want.That quiet rejection sliced deeper than any words could. No screams, no accusations—just a step back. And that was all it took to make my heart drop into a hollow space in my chest.My throat felt like it was wrapped in barbed wire. Still, I found the words, no matter how broken they sounded.“Am I not enough?”It was barely a whisper, the kind of question someone only asks when they already know the answer but need to hear it anyway—just in cas

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   Ghosts in the Room

    LorienThree years later“I brought back the gold,” I said as I stood before Alpha Matthias’s desk. My voice was low, calm, practiced. “And the counterfeit guns too. Hidden in the same crates as planned.”The office was dim, the heavy curtains drawn to block out the early evening light. Smoke curled from the cigar in the ashtray beside him. Matthias didn’t look up right away. He was pouring himself a drink, his movements lazy but deliberate, each flick of his wrist exuding power he didn’t have to prove.“And?” he finally asked, arching a brow as he slowly leaned back in his leather chair.“There’s trouble coming,” I said. My fingers tightened at my sides. “A Blood Fang associate. One of the mafia-centered packs. They're planning to attack us.”That got his attention. The glass paused midway to his lips.“Why?” His tone sharpened, losing its casual edge.I met his eyes squarely. “Revenge. For the princess. You killed her, remember?”A long silence stretched between us. He finally sippe

  • The Alpha's Rejected Omega   A Coward's Prophecy

    LorienThe moment Caius was returned to my arms, something inside me shattered.I gasped.Not from pain—but from the weight of it all. The heaviness of the witch’s words still echoed in my bones. My body curled protectively over my child, as if I could shield him from fate itself.He blinked up at me, unaware, trusting. And somehow that made it worse.The witch’s presence still filled the room like thick smoke.She turned her golden eyes to Lucian now, who sat huddled in the cradle, tiny fingers clutching the edge as though it could anchor him to safety. His face was pale. His bottom lip trembled. He was trying to be brave, but his fear rolled off him in waves I could feel in my gut.“He’s scared,” I whispered, reaching a trembling hand to stroke his hair. “Please, just—leave him alone.”The witch ignored me.“Lucian is no ordinary child,” she declared.I looked up sharply.She took a single step forward, robes whispering against the floor.“He holds Alpha power,” she continued, voice
