The Omega's Choice Chapter 40: Tamsin's POV
I wake to a soft humming, a gentle melody that weaves its way into my sleepy consciousness, a tune I vaguely recognize as one of Lior’s favorites. And then, the scent. Sweet, warm vanilla, filling the small cabin with a comforting aroma, chasing away the lingering scent of pine and woodsmoke. My eyelids flutter open, and Lior is there, kneeling beside the bed, a goofy, slightly nervous grin on his face.“Wakey, wakey, little star,” he whispers, his eyes sparkling with a mixture of excitement and anticipation. In his hands, he holds a small, slightly lopsided cake, frosted with what looks like a whole lot of love and maybe just a touch of amateur enthusiasm. The frosting is swirled unevenly, and a few stray sprinkles cling precariously to the edges, but it’s undeniably heartfelt. Beside it, nestled in his other arm, a bouquet of pristine white roses, their velvety petals unfurling in the soft morning light streaming through the cabin window. My absolute favorite since the night

"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

I try to keep my hands steady as I fold the white linens and carry them outside to dry. The breeze is soft, the sun warm against my skin, but none of it touches the cold buried inside me. Every step feels like I’m walking through fog, like my soul has been fractured and no one sees it. No one wants to see it.“Hey, can you not let that corner drag on the ground?” Elara snaps, her voice sharper than usual.I blink and glance down. The edge of the sheet is just brushing the grass. I lift it quickly and secure it on the line. “Sorry,” I mumble.She doesn’t respond. She walks away without looking back, joining two other girls near the baskets. They’re laughing about something—something I’m not a part of. Not anymore.We used to do everything together. Chores. Late night giggles. Whispered dreams about what our future mates would be like. Now she barely speaks to me unless she has to. I walk over to her, pretending like nothing’s changed, hoping she’ll meet me halfway.“Elara,” I say g

I scrub at the massive window until my arm aches. The glass is already spotless, but I keep rubbing, as if the movement will wash away the ache in my chest too. The third floor of the pack house is always quiet—only the occasional footsteps from passing patrols or omegas. It’s perfect for hiding. For breaking.“I miss him,” Kira whimpers softly in the back of my mind. “Even if I hate him for it, I still miss him.”I squeeze the cloth tighter. “You don't even know him to miss him.”"We've known him all our lives, Tammy.""As our Alpha. Not lover. We were only mated one day.""Still..." she trails off. "Still, the feeling I felt that one day was heaven. We'll never feel that way again. Ever. Just know that.""Thanks for the spirit yoga," I sigh.The citrus scent hits me first—sharp, bright, unmistakable. My body stiffens as the bond tugs at something deep inside of me. Even severed, it knows him. Alpha Nox. The man who broke me.But there’s another scent accompanying his—clean leathe

I don’t want to be here. Not in anyway possible. The whole pack is buzzing with excitement, stringing up lights and tossing flower petals around like it’s some fairytale, but my chest feels like someone parked a truck on it. Alpha Nox and Zara’s mating ceremony is tonight, and everyone’s acting like it’s the damn royal wedding. I tried—really, really tried—to sit this one out. I figured if I just stayed tucked away doing laundry or scrubbing dishes, no one would notice. No one would need me to participate in anything remotely linked to the event.But of course, someone did notice me. At this point, I've completely realized that the lady I looked up to as perfect all my life, is nothing but a low and petty bitch.Pity I had to get my heart literally broken to figure that out.“You’re requested in the Luna’s quarters,” someone had told me. Requested. Like I was being summoned to the Alpha's office for killing three random pack members.Now I’m standing in Zara’s room, surrounded by

The Omega's Choice Chapter 39: Nox's POV
Oh, for fucks sake, it feels like the silence in this damn room is deafening, amplifying every stupid decision I’ve ever made.The reek of stale whiskey hangs heavy in the air of my bed chambers, a fitting aroma for the mess I’ve become. The room is dim, the heavy curtains drawn against the unwanted intrusion of daylight. My head throbs with a dull, persistent ache, a constant reminder of the poison I’ve been pouring down my throat. Zara, along with her perfume, is gone. Off playing Alpha, attending to the damn duties that should be mine. With my mother and Lior, I guess.How fitting, isn't it?The irony isn’t lost on me. The new power trio. Cyan remains stubbornly silent, refusing to surface, the stubborn bastard. Probably disgusted with me and by me. I don’t blame him.Loneliness is a physical weight, pressing down on my chest, stealing my breath. It’s a hollow emptiness that echoes the void Tamsin left, even though she was never truly mine to begin with. My fated mate. Reject
The Omega's Choice Chapter 38: Tamsin's POV
Lior’s arm is a tight band around my waist as we walk through town, his grip almost possessive. He’s being unusually affectionate today, pressing soft kisses to my temple, his hand never straying far from my side. It should feel comforting, this constant nearness, this unwavering attention. But a subtle unease has been growing within me, a prickly feeling under my skin whenever I try to create a little space between us.“I just need to grab a few things from my room,” I tell him as we approach the familiar high walls of the pack house. “Since we’re staying at the cabin for a while.” The words feel a little strange now, “relocating.” It sounds so… permanent.He nods, his smile a little too bright. “Of course, little star. Whatever you need. I’ll be right here.” But his arm remains firmly around me, guiding me towards the omega quarters. I try to subtly ease away, just a fraction, but his grip tightens almost imperceptibly. It’s not painful, but it’s… firm. Unyielding. Possessive.
The Omega's Choice Chapter 37: Nox's POV
It feels like the ground just gave way beneath my damn feet.The official decree hangs in the air of the council hall, heavy and suffocating. Each word, spoken by Elder Maeve with a solemn finality, is another nail in my damn coffin. Stripped. Temporarily, they keep saying, like that’s supposed to make it any better. Like the weight of it, the sheer humiliation, isn’t crushing me.Zara stands beside my mother, bathed in the artificial light, her expression a mask of calm authority. Acting Alpha. The words echo in the stunned silence of the hall. Then, one by one, the pack members bow. My pack. Bending their damn knees to her. Cyan snarls in my head, a raw, guttural sound that mirrors the rage clawing at my throat. "Look at your kingdom, falling to your feet… for her," he scoffs. "I bet you've seen now the kind of woman you're mated to? A usurper!"Who do I hate more right now? Myself, for this monumental screw-up? Zara, for this calculated… opportunity? Or Lior, that slimy ba
The Omega's Choice Chapter 36: Tamsin's POV
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
The Omega's Choice Chapter 35: Nox's POV
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
The Omega's Choice Chapter 34: Tamsin's POV
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
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
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
