Zenith's POV

I stood at the head of the courtyard altar like a king that I was, hands clasped behind my back, expression carved into perfect cool. Only the entire court, elites, generals, council members had gathered, all dressed in their finest, their eyes hungry for the spectacle of their King finally taking a mate. These were all the people I preferred to be at my mating ceremony, instead of it being public.

It would be announced to the public later that their King had taken a mate.

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   138. A Little Gift I Had Never Expected

    Zenith's PovEverything around me seemed to have disappeared at that moment, singling around the little being wiggling around slightly. I reached toward the pup on pure instinct, and the reaction I got in return was instant.A sharp growl tore from Silas’s throat, and if my reflexes had been even half a second slower, his jaws would have closed around my wrist. I jerked back hard, and as if it still wasn't enough, Silas lunged at me, teeth snapping for anything of me he could reach. I scrambled backward through the grass and only barely avoided him before he reared back.Rushed footsteps exploded behind me immediately.“Your Majesty–!”“Stand back!” I roared, surging to my feet and spinning on the Alphas who had broken their formation. The glare I gave them was pure heat. “I ordered you to stay back. Follow the damn order.”One by one they retreated back to position, still tense and at alert. Even that was not enough. Not with Silas reacting to me like this, with a pup under him an

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   137. Oh, My Darling

    Zenith’s POV My boots crushed dried branches and leaves as I moved deeper into the forest, pushing a little farther than the rest of the search team. Their voices blurred together behind me at a distance. I kept my eyes moving, ears sharp for anything. The CCTV that had caught Carlos was either much farther from wherever we thought they're hiding my Omega would be or we just still had no real grasp of where the entrance we needed might be. We had been out for hours, covering every stretch of forest the maps and the monitors could justify. It had given us nothing. The region where the machines had detected vibrations seemed to have disappeared overnight. We'd been at it all day, and now darkness had only made the work harder. Three separate teams were spread through the trees, one with me, the other two elsewhere in the sector, and even with that division, we're still walking around empty handed. I looked back at the search team I was with, watching them as they spoke to eac

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   136. In The Heart of The Forest

    Silas’s POVLater that evening, I sat alone in the room as usual, staring blankly at the wall.My fingers fidgeted against each other in my lap, pinching the soft skin of my wrist whenever a thought tried to force itself to the surface. I could not afford memory right now. Whether true or twisted, they all haunted me. I had been doing this for the past two hours.And somehow, mercifully so, the plain cream-colored wall helped. When the pressure in my head built too high, I stared at it until the noise dulled. Every so often I take a brief break and let my eyes move around, to the high narrow fake window that led to nowhere, to the small bedside table, to the tiny teddy print on the cup they had given me, and the moment a fragment of the past began rising again, I returned to the wall.I sighed deeply, expecting the last thing of the day. Dinner. Suddenly, the lights in the room flickered and I looked up at the bulb in confusion. It flickered again, going on and off a few times befor

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   135. Taking Him Away From Me

    Silas’s POV Four sessions in three days. Or was it five days I had been here? Or six? I could no longer tell. Time had started to blur at the edges the same way my thoughts had. The first two sessions only left me exhausted. Unpleasant, yes. Manageable. At least I still knew how to close my eyes afterward and get some sleep. I could still remember the soft touches of my Alpha's hands on my body. The low sound of his voice, and the heat of his breath brushing against my skin. The rare, quiet moments when the bond had thrummed between us and made me so alive. But that all slowly faded away after the third session. That night, when I tried to call those memories up the way I always had, to feel better, turning them over like smooth stones to lull myself toward sleep, nothing answered. Those anchoring soft images would not come. I searched until my head began to hurt and still found no kindness to hold. I did not sleep that night. By the fourth session, a worse form of memory h

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   134. Five Days of Torture

    Zenith’s POV. Five days. It's been five days since Silas drove out of the palace and vanished like the earth had opened and swallowed him whole. At first, I was sure we'd find him, because the car he took was trackable, and we did track the car to the place it died. But it was found abandoned on the roadside with a dent driven into the side, indicating a strong impact. His phone was still on the seat, with him nowhere in sight. I searched until my men started watching me with careful silence, as if any wrong action would set me off, which was true. At a point after searching, that I just couldn't keep sane, I'd shifted and ran the surrounding ground myself, nose to dirt, chasing any thread of jasmine that might still be clinging to the world. But I found nothing. It was as if Silas had been erased off the surface of the Earth. And I was slowly losing my mind. “…Zenith.” The voice cut through the fog of my thoughts, dragging me back into the room. I exhaled sharply and looked

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   133. This Is My Fault

    Silas’s POV “Begin.” he announced, his voice followed by the gentle hum of machines. “Can you hear me, Your Highness?” Gregory’s voice came through the speaker, calmly as if we were discussing the weather instead of the wires clinging to my skin. I nodded slowly. “Verbal answers, please. The system reads more better that way.” “…Yes,” I said. “I can hear you.” “Good.” he confirmed and then there was a soft click of buttons. “We’re going to begin with a simple recall. Nothing inventive.” My fingers curled against the cuffs. “I already told you I don’t want–” “Want is irrelevant,” Gregory replied, dismissing my words. “Subject One, state the name of your mate.” The silence after the question felt heavy. I couldn't help but wonder why he was asking for my mates name. “…Zenith,” I said at last. “Full title.” My jaw tightened. “His Majesty. The Lycan King.” “Better.” he said and made a few adjustments of whatever it was that he was doing. “Now take yourself back to the fir

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   6. The White Room

    They shoved me through a heavy metal door into a stark white room. At first glance, it looked like a laboratory. Pristine white walls, harsh overhead lights that buzzed faintly, and a long metal table against one wall neatly arranged with vials of chemicals, syringes, wires, and strange metallic

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   5. Shattered Mercy

    Silas's Pov The first lash landed across my back like fire, and I screamed, curling into myself as the second lash followed. White-hot pain exploded across my spine, stealing the air from my lungs. The third lash, however, did not come. Through the haze of agony, I slowly opened my eyes and was s

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   4. His Unmerciful Gaze

    Silas's Pov:The first thing I felt was the weight of the thick, silk blankets that draped over me, pulsing with a wonderful, addicting scent. It was cedarwood, tinged with that undeniably good Alpha pheromones.I opened my eyes and my heart immediately leaped into my throat. Memories of last night

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   3. Torn

    Zenith's Pov:My boots slammed against the stone stairs of the cells, every Alpha guard I passed was pressed against the wall, their eyes wide and their breathing heavy. They could smell it, I could smell it. I reached his cell and ripped the heavy door open so hard the hinges groaned in protest.
