The Omega's Choice Chapter 33: Nox's POV
The woods only offer a temporary escape, a place where Cyan runs until his lungs burn and his muscles scream, a desperate attempt to outrun the gnawing emptiness inside me. But the quiet fury that propels me through the trees eventually gives way to a bone-deep exhaustion, and I am forced to return to the suffocating reality of the pack house.Zara is waiting. Of course she is. I've been gone for about a day, approximately, which is not my nature, so if course she'll be waiting.Her face, usually so composed, is etched with worry, her eyes red-rimmed like she'd been crying.As I step through the door, the scent of her anxiety thick in the air, she rushes towards me, her arms outstretched. Instinctively, I flinch, a raw, visceral reaction I can’t control. I shove her away, not hard, but enough to make her stumble back, a hurt gasp escaping her lips.“Nox!” Her voice is a choked whisper, her eyes wide with a confusion that mirrors my own internal chaos. “What in the moon’s name…?”“Ju

I wake to the familiar warmth of Lior’s arms around me, the soft scent of him clinging to the sheets. The morning light filtering through his window in the pack house is gentle, painting the room in pale gold. He’s still asleep, his breathing even and quiet against my hair. It should feel perfect, this closeness, this intimacy. And in a way, it does. He’s here, he’s real, he’s chosen me.But a knot of unease tightens in my chest, a familiar unwelcome guest. Guilt. It’s been my constant companion since… since I slammed the door in Nox’s face. The memory of his expression haunts me – that raw, almost desperate look in his hazel eyes. He’d looked… broken."Idiot," Kira mutters in the back of my mind, her tone sharper than usual. "You didn’t even let him speak. Maybe his words were just what we needed to connect some dots."Why didn’t I? What was I so afraid of hearing? Was it fear of the truth, whatever that might be? Or was it a stubborn refusal to let anything tarnish the fragile

I stumble back into the pack house, the scent of damp earth and pine clinging to my fur. Another reckless run. Another night spent trying to outpace the relentless gnawing in my gut. It never works. Cyan is a restless beast within me, mirroring my own fractured state. "Another stellar display of Alpha leadership," he snarls, the sarcasm dripping.Just as I’m about to retreat to my room, hoping for a few hours of oblivion, Gareth, one of the enforcers, blocks my path. His face is grim, his usual jovial demeanor absent.“Alpha,” he says, his voice low and serious. “You’re needed in the council hall. It’s urgent.”“Can’t it wait?” I grumble, the thought of facing anyone right now making my skin crawl.“No, Alpha. Your mother specifically requested your presence. She said it can’t wait another moment.”My mother. That cold woman who seems to always be disappointed in me no matter what I do."Well, if I were her, wouldn't I be?" Cyan laughs dryly. If she’s summoning me, it’s likely no

I’m walking towards the market, the familiar path through the woods a comforting routine. Lior is still at the pack house, dealing with whatever Beta duties remain even with Nox… well, with Nox being Nox. He’s meeting me at the cabin later, and I’m picking up a few things we need – some fresh herbs, maybe some berries if they look good. The air is crisp, carrying the scent of pine and damp earth, but beneath it, I catch snippets of hushed conversations as pack members pass by.“Did you hear?” a lady is saying, her voice tight with a kind of nervous excitement.“The council… they actually did it,” another replies, in a low and sad tone.I incline my head left towards the voices, to try to catch more of what they're saying.“Temporary, they say…” one of the farm boys I recognise as Lenny says, with his eyes wide with a mixture of awe and fear.Curiosity prickles at me. Their voices are low, almost conspiratorial. Then I hear it clearly, a phrase that stops me in my tracks. “…unseate

"Anytime now, you'll find a prince charming," Elara says to me as she pauses her chores, looking up at me with a grin, then she shrugs. "Well, he might look like an undercooked pizza, but a mate is always charming in the eyes of a mate, right?"I roll my eyes at her as I continue wiping the windows. I still can’t believe I’m eighteen. It doesn’t feel any different. I thought it would.Maybe I would have the shimmer of a wolf that has reached the ripe age for mating.But no. I feel the same way I felt at seventeen... sixteen... fifteen... fourteen...and so on.Nothing much changes save for the body developments.I woke up to the same scratchy sheets, the same creaky bed, and the same whisper of dust hanging in the air. But technically, I’m an adult now. Not that it changes anything in the pack house. I still have chores. Still have rules. Still have to keep my head down."I can't wait till I turn eighteen though. Just three months left." Elara sighs dreamily."Shut up and clean," I te

“Elara, stop—seriously!” I try to snatch the cleaning cloth out of her hand, but she’s twirling with it like it’s a flag and she’s just won the Luna Olympics.Yesterday, we both found out I was Alpha Nox's long awaited fated mate. I've had this gut feeling in my chest since then, especially as he didn't react in an encouraging way. I also haven't been able to rest knowing that Zara is going to be heartbroken now because it means he'd have to give her up for me.Would she want to be given up? Would he want to give her up?I don't know and I'm very bothered. But Elara?She's been over the moon like she's the one mated to him.“No, you stop pretending like this isn’t the biggest thing to ever happen in this pack!” she giggles, practically dancing across the hallway. “Tamsin, you—sweet, pretty little you—are mated to Alpha Nox. THE Alpha Nox. I mean, the man literally paused mid-scowl to stare at you like you were a goddess come to life.”I blush, heat rushing to my cheeks. “It wasn’t l

I can’t sleep.Every time I close my eyes, I see him—his face, his eyes, the way his lips twitched like he was fighting himself. And then the way they flattened when he said it. Coldly. Without hesitation.“I reject you as my mate.”Those words echo in my head like a curse. They sit in my chest like glass shards, sharp and immovable.I’m curled up on the small bed in the omega quarters. The thin blanket does nothing to soothe the fever that’s taken hold of my body. I feel hot and cold at once, my skin prickling like fire is crawling beneath it.My heart hurts—literally aches in a way I didn’t think was possible. I press my palm to my chest, hoping it’ll somehow hold the pain in, keep it from seeping out and cracking me in two.He chose Zara. Of course he chose Zara.Kira stirs inside me. She's been crippled by the betrayal for the past few days, but now, I don't feel her sadness.What I feel is her anger. Hellish storm of anger inside me."You know what's crazy about this, Tamsin? W

“You’re a fool,” Cyan growls in my head for the hundredth time this morning. “A gods-damned fool, Nox.”I press the heel of my palm to my temple. The pain is back—sharp, stabbing, bone-deep. It comes in waves, a pulsing torment that doesn’t relent. My heart feels like it’s being wrung out by unseen hands, and every breath feels like I’m inhaling shards of glass.“You rejected our mate,” Cyan snarls. “The one we waited seven years for. Sweet, innocent Tamsin.”“Enough,” I snap aloud before I can stop myself. My voice echoes in the stillness of my office, curt and cold. Zara looks up from her place beside me on the leather couch, her fingers gently combing through my hair.“Headache again?” she asks, her voice low, sultry, threaded with concern.I nod and close my eyes, leaning into her touch like muscle memory. She always knows how to soothe me. Or used to, at least. Now, every stroke of her fingers across my scalp feels foreign. Like silk covering old scars—it’s soft, it’s warm, b

The Omega's Choice Chapter 32: Nox's POV
The crisp morning air carries the usual scents of the pack house – pine, damp earth, the faint aroma of breakfast still lingering. But then it hits me, a delicate sweetness that makes my senses sharpen. Strawberries. Tamsin. But… different. Cleaner. The sharp undercurrent of dish soap, the tell-tale sign of her usual omega chores, is absent. It’s just the pure, sweet scent of her. My jaw tightens. She’s not doing her duties. Of course she's not. With her now status of the Beta's lover, I doubt he would let her resume omega chores.He’s coddling her.I take a few more steps and I catch his scent, woven into hers like intertwined vines. That familiar, comforting leather and something else, something possessive... arousal.They’re close. Too close.“Ignore it,” Cyan rumbles in the back of my mind, a low growl of impatience. "Council meeting, remember? The elders are waiting for their brilliant Alpha."But my feet have already changed direction, drawn by an invisible thread. The straw
The Omega's Choice Chapter 31: Tamsin's POV
If it were completely up to me, I'd stay in the mountain cabin for the rest of my confused and controversial life.But it's not up to me, is it? Lior is always needed down in town as Beta and he always loves that I'm close to him at all times.Weird, but I don't mind. If he's obsessed, then I'll happily let him be. My mind is still not clear from the series of thoughts I've been having about him, but I guess I can put that aside and just live and love in the moment.Besides, maybe I was just being paranoid. You know, once bitten twice shy.Back at the pack house, things feel… different. Lior has been incredibly attentive since our return from the cabin. He insists I shouldn’t be doing the usual omega chores anymore. “You’re with me now, little star,” he’d said, his arm possessively around my shoulders as he steered me away from the laundry piles. Instead, I find myself helping him with his Beta duties, mostly paperwork that seems endless and a little dull, but I don’t complain. It
The Omega's Choice Chapter 30: Tamsin's POV
The quiet of Lior’s cabin has settled around me like a soft blanket, a stark contrast to the turmoil churning inside. He left early this morning, a lingering kiss on my forehead and a set of keys pressed into my palm. “Stay as long as you need, little star,” he’d murmured, his green eyes filled with a concern that felt both genuine and… something else. Something I can’t quite decipher.Now, the sun climbs higher in the sky, casting long shadows that slowly shrink and then stretch again across the wooden floor. The silence amplifies the thoughts swirling in my head, a restless dance of emotions and uncertainties. My love for Lior… it’s there, a warm ember that flickers steadily. He’s been my anchor, my light in the confusing aftermath of Nox’s rejection. He’s shown me kindness, affection, a sense of belonging I desperately craved.But then there’s the ghost of Nox. A faint echo of a connection that was never truly explored, a bond severed before it could fully form. Yet, it neve
The Omega's Choice Chapter 29: Nox's POV
The training fields are mostly deserted this morning, the early light casting long shadows across the worn dirt. Perfect. I’ve been tracking Lior’s scent since he left his cabin, a bitter tang of pine and leather cloyingly sweet clinging to him. He’s over by the sparring dummies, a lazy smirk playing on his lips as he lands a half-hearted kick. He knows I’m here. He always does.“Lior,” I call out, my voice low and tight as I step into the clearing. Cyan rumbles in the back of my mind, a low growl that mirrors the tension coiling in my gut. "About damn time."Lior turns, his smirk widening. “Alpha. Fancy meeting you here. Decided to finally get some training in?” His tone is light, almost cheerful, which only serves to fuel my simmering anger.“Don’t play coy with me,” I snarl, taking a step closer. “I know what you’re doing.”His eyebrows lift in mock surprise. “Oh? And what exactly am I doing, dear Alpha?”“You’re taking advantage of her,” I accuse, the words raw with jealousy.
The Omega's Choice Chapter 28: Tamsin's POV
Warmth. That’s the first thing I register. A comforting weight pressed against my back, an arm slung possessively around my waist. I’m nestled against Lior, his steady breathing a soft rhythm against my hair. His scent, familiar and comforting now, fills my senses. We’re back in his cabin, the familiar scent of pine and woodsmoke a stark contrast to the lingering aroma of the harvest celebration.My eyelids flutter open, the soft morning light filtering through the cabin window painting the room in gentle hues. I close them again, a wave of fuzzy memories washing over me. Last night… it’s a bit of a blur. Laughter, the warmth of cider, the dizzying swirl of the dance floor. I must have had a little too much to drink. My cheeks heat with a touch of embarrassment.Lior shifts behind me, his arm tightening. “Morning, sleepyhead,” he murmurs, his voice still thick with sleep. He tries to nuzzle into the crook of my neck, a playful growl rumbling in his chest. “Come back to bed. It’s
