Silas's Pov

My hands instinctively grabbed at his shirt for balance, fingers clutching the fabric as my face burned with shock and embarrassment.

“W-what-?” The words died in my throat.

He didn’t say anything. He simply adjusted his grip with one strong arm wrapped securely around my thighs to keep me in place, then started walking again as if carrying me like this was the most normal thing in the world. His steps were steady he walked, each movement jostled me slightly against his solid fra

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   81. Fear of Separation

    Zenith's Pov Of all the Alphas who it could have been, it had to be him. He just made a very stupid mistake. He had already crossed a line once, he should have known better than to come anywhere near what belonged to me again. I looked at Kyle. “Which way?” Kyle pointed back down the corridor. “He ran when he saw me. I followed as far as could, but I lost him. I was just coming back to inform you when I met you here.” My hand on Silas’s arm could feel the tremor running through him, and I could almost taste the panic in his scent. “Are you hurt?” I asked, eyes glancing over him. Except for his distorted state and his roughed up clothes, he looked alright. But I still had to make sure. Silas shook his head quickly, then hesitated. “I–I stabbed him. With a knife, so I was able to get away.” Pride and fury hit at the same time. Though I wondered where Silas had gotten a knife, but it didn't matter. What I hoped was that he stabbed that bastard deep enough to damage something.

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   80. What a Dumb Alpha

    Silas's Pov It’s okay. It’s alright, Silas. You’re just overthinking. I told myself as I stood frozen in the corridor. We were probably just heading the same way. People ended up on the same path all the time at events like this; it did not have to mean anything. But then… who would be walking straight toward a dead end? Maybe it was not even the Alpha from the bathroom, it could have been someone else entirely. The footsteps had stopped, which meant whoever it was had stopped too. It should've been reassuring, but the silence only made my pulse louder in my ears. I closed my eyes, drew in a deep breath, and turned around slowly. Oh. It was him. It was him alright. The same Alpha from the bathroom stood only a short distance away, and the moment I faced him fully, his pheromones rolled out in thick, suffocating waves. The pressure hit me so hard I felt a headache press immediately at the back of my skull. My body stiffened under the force of it, but I wasn't affected by his ph

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   79. The Alpha in The Mirror

    Silas's Pov Annoyance could not even begin to describe how I felt at the moment. We were in the car, already on our way to the mating ceremony of his Majesty's friend, who happened to be the Alpha of a pack in the West, a full hour’s drive from the palace. The length of the journey itself was not the problem, the problem was that His Majesty had been on a phone call for more than half of it. The moment we sat down in the car, his phone had rung, and he had been speaking ever since. I shifted slightly in my clothes, which I loved very much. All white, chosen by me after careful consideration. It was a clean, formal set, paired with white heels boots that had red bottoms, I'd forgotten what the servant that brought them called them. I had been too excited to wear them to hear any of the things the beta had said. It was my first time wearing heeled shoes, and every small movement made me more aware of them. According to what I had only recently learned, all white was expected of us

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   78. Aftercare, And a Swooning Omega

    Zenith's Pov Silas kicked the sheets off for the seventh time this morning. I sighed, frustrated more at my own helplessness than at him. He lay tangled in the middle of the bed, sweating and shivering at the same time. According to Dr. Joana, when I had to call her when it got to a point, this was normal. Most Omegas came down with a mild fever after an intense heat. But even so, knowing that did not make it easier to watch. Three days. It's been three full days of heat and rut before either of us found the end of it. I had knotted him three times before the worst of it finally subsided. And now this. The sight of my Omega like this hurt more than I expected. It had started last night, not even twenty minutes after the third knot. One moment he had been quiet and exhausted in my arms; the next, he was shivering. I had made it worse by thinking a warm bath would help. The moment I got him out of the water, the shivering turned into heavy sweating. By morning, he had to

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   77. The Brink Of Insanity[M]

    Silas's Pov My body shook from the immense pleasure coursing through me.I had never felt anything like this before, not even once. As an omega running mostly on suppressants, I had always refrained from touching myself, because an omega's intense smell of arousal can travel an unexpected distance. The pleasure had been so strong it wiped out every thought of fear and hesitation, every fear, every memory of pain. Just heat, fullness, and the overwhelming rush of finally reaching the peak my body had been begging for. I could already feel my heat simmering down. Though it still wasn't over, but for the moment, I felt at ease. Like something in me had finally been given what it needed, even if only for a moment. I lay there trying to catch my breath, weak and dazed, feeling his Majesty still close, still touching me. Then I heard his voice. “Are you alright?” I nodded slowly, since I could barely manage words. My throat felt dry, probably from all the screams that I now felt deep

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   76. Even If It Killed Me[M]

    Zenith's Pov The fabric parted under my hands, slipping farther down his arms and falling apart until there was nowhere left for modesty to hide. Every newly revealed inch of him tightened the coil of hunger in my gut. I forced myself to go carefully, peeling the robe away from his arms, then from beneath his body as I shifted him just enough to free it completely. “You’re beautiful,” I muttered, the words rough with the effort of restraint. “Look at you.” For a moment I managed patience, then it began to slip. The more of him I uncovered, the less steady my hands became. What started as deliberate undressing turned hungrier, less controlled, and before I knew it, I was dragging the clothing away from his body with urgency, until he was left bare beneath me on the sheets. The sight punched the air from my lungs. All that pale skin, the delicate lines of him. The vulnerable openness of an Omega already trembling under my gaze. His eyes were closed, pink buds erect as his chest

  • 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.

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   2. Unexpected Heat

    Silas POV One moment I was walking home in the rain, mourning a life lived in shadows, and the next, I was a traitor to the crown. It was a joke, it had to be. I was a nobody, like a ghost. How the hell could I ever be a spy? I leaned my head against the damp wall, trying to make sense of the nig

  • The King's Unwanted Omega   1. False Accusations

    Silas POV “Silas, you need to listen to me,” Dr. Stephen said slowly, looking into my eyes like he was hoping I'd listen to everything that was about to come out of his mouth. I already knew where this was going. “Your system is under incredible strain. These suppressants….they aren't meant for
