I freeze, eyes wide and unable to process what’s happening. It’s only when Mira’s hand lifts toward my cheek that my senses snap back.

I shove her away—harder than I mean to—and she rolls across the bed, nearly falling off the edge. I sit up quickly, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand. We stare at each other in stunned disbelief.

“What was that?” I demand at the same time she blurts, “I’m sorry!”

Pain lances through my chest so sharply it forces a gasp out of me. I clutch at my heart, confused and breathless, until realization hits.

“Caden,” I whisper. “No.”

Hurt. Betrayal. His emotions crash into me through the bond in violent waves.

Goddess, he felt the kiss.

I feel the distance between us closing rapidly.

My head jerks toward the door. He’s already coming.

“I’m so sor—” Mira starts, her voice shaky.

“You need to leave. Right now,” I cut her off.

“Selene, I don’t know what came over me—”

I grab her shoulders and shake her. “You’re not listening! You need to leave. Caden is—”

  • The Omega's Deception   She kissed me!

    They stand in the middle, the pack forming a tight semicircle around them. They aren’t bound, but they don’t dare run. They know exactly what will happen if they try.Caden and Beta Dorian stand at the forefront.Caden’s voice fills the courtyard, deep and steady with authority. “Weeks ago, there were attacks on our pack that led to the loss of some of our dear ones because some among us were led by pride and greed. Tonight, justice will be served… and by the hands of those who were wronged.”Beta Dorian adds, “The punishment for betrayal to the pack is death.”Before Ryken’s accomplices can even react, the families of the fallen launch at them. The two traitors try to fight back, but they’re outnumbered, overwhelmed instantly. I refuse to look away. Their screams rip through the air as they’re torn apart, limb by limb, until the sound fades into nothing and what remains is just a bloody mess on the ground.Ryken scrambles backward, trembling in fear. Caden turns toward him, and Ryken

    I shrug. “I don’t plan on leaving the Alpha wing today.”Lyra gives a thumbs-up. “Then it’s perfect.”The girls head back to their shared room in the packhouse, and I make a mental note to check it out later.I run my hands through my hair. They wanted to curl it, but I chose to leave it combed and down. I sit on my bed, lean against the headboard, and twirl a strand of hair nervously.Caden should be here by now to walk me to breakfast. Time passes, but he still doesn’t come.Am I supposed to go down without him?Has he gotten tired of walking me to the dining hall?I lie down, deciding to wait just a bit longer… and that’s how I fall asleep.When I wake, the shadows in my room tell me it’s nearly lunchtime. I began to feel annoyed. I sit up and button my shirt properly.He didn’t come for me.My stomach growls as I march to the door. I yank it open, only to stumble back when I find Caden standing right there, hand raised to knock.Was I so lost in my hurt that I didn’t hear him appr

    Just as he’s about to deepen the kiss, I release his hair from my fingers and push myself out of his arms. He lets me go.I sit back, using my long black hair to cover my breasts. We keep our eyes locked on each other’s faces.His lips twitch, then stretch into a wide smile then a full-blown laugh bursts out of him.I’m startled at the sound, at how beautiful it is. I never thought he was capable of laughing like that.His laugh is infectious, and mine spills out to join it. We keep laughing and laughing. Why? I have no idea.“Our wolves are crazy,” he says, his laughter fading into soft chuckles.I smile as I get up. “Trust me. Ajax is nowhere near as crazy as Nyra.”He rises too, and we fall back into staring at each other.“Race you back to the packhouse?” I say, not waiting for an answer. I take off, and he follows right behind me.We run in human form this time, and I win.By the time we reach the packhouse, it’s already dinner. Caden prepares food for me again. I watch his back

  • The Omega's Deception   Running

    “Yeah… remember that day I came out of the forest covered in blood? When you meet me at the treeline.”Caden nods.I clasp my hands together so tightly my knuckles turn white. “That was his blood. My brother finds out I'm alive after so many years, and we fight.”“I don’t understand,” Caden says. “He isn’t happy to see you alive after so long?”I let out a harsh laugh. “Hardly. Considering he’s part of the reason I’m on the run. He wants me dead.”A growl tears from Caden’s chest. “I won’t let him touch you.”“I’ve been protecting myself all these years,” I say, though a considerable part of me is grateful that I'm not alone anymore.“Yes,” he says softly, “I have no doubt you’re capable of protecting yourself.” There’s a hint of pride in his voice. “But if he or anyone elsecomes for you, I’ll stand by you. The pack will too…”Will they? I think.Caden’s voice enters my mind, smooth as a whisper. Yes, they will. By choice, I’m sure. You became one of us the moment you became my mate.

    He has dark eyebags, like he didn’t sleep. His hair is disheveled, his clothes rumpled, and his shirt buttoned wrong. “I’m hungry,” I say before he can talk. A bit of light returns to his tired eyes. “I came to call you for breakfast. If you follow me to the dining—” “Will Dorian be there?” He hesitates. “No, just us. I thought you’d be more comfortable without him.” “Yes. I like it that way.” Hearing myself, I quickly correct, “Not that I have a problem with him. I just need space right now.” “Of course. We understand.” As we walk toward the Alpha dining room, Caden keeps stealing glances at me. “You have something to say?” My voice comes out harsher than I mean. He rubs his neck. “Selene, I know you’re angry with me, and you have every right. But that day on the field…” I stiffen. He notices and stops. “I’m sorry.” The sincerity in his voice still stings. Why is he mentioning it again? I sigh, forcing myself to relax. “Let’s just forget it. I forgive you.” He looks at m
