Rayne

Reed’s warm hands trailed down my chest, his fingers nimble as they worked at my belt. My breath hitched as he unbuckled it, pulling it free before undoing my zipper. He looked up at me, his coffee-brown eyes gleaming with playful affection, the kind of look I’d come to know so well.

“Just relax, babe,” he murmured, his voice low and soft. “Let me take care of you.”

I nodded slowly, though the knot in my stomach didn’t loosen. When Reed wrapped his hand around me, stroking me with practiced ease, a shaky sigh escaped my lips. I leaned back against the headboard, closing my eyes and letting the warmth of his touch wash over me.

This was Reed. My Reed. The person I loved most in the world.

I should have been content, but my mind wouldn’t stop spinning. As his lips replaced his hand, enveloping me in heat, I felt a pang of guilt twist in my chest.

I loved Reed. I loved him.

Didn’t I?

The memory of my mark on Amber's neck, of the bond thrumming faintly in the back of my mind, made m

  • The Rejected Omega: There Were Times I Wished You Were Dead    Chapter 114

    ReedThe divorce papers were still there.Mocking me.Sitting on Voss’ desk like they owned the fucking room, like they were some sacred document carved by the gods themselves. Second copy. Freshly printed. Still crisp. Still bearing Rayne’s signature at the bottom, bold and cold and final.I stared at them, chest heaving. My neck throbbed with pain from my failed suicide attempt, dried blood caked like graffiti. Every inch of me itched to rip them apart, to tear that paper into shreds so fine no one would ever be able to piece it together again.But then Ash’s voice echoed inside my head, sharp and unrelenting.“Don’t even think about it, Reed. You’re already skating on the edge of hell. Don’t light the match.”For once, I listened.Maybe because I didn’t have the energy to argue. Maybe because some pathetic part of me still thought Rayne might come back. Might realize he made a mistake.He hadn’t looked back, though. Not once.And now those cursed papers were the final nail in the c

    Amber“Reed may have orchestrated it all, but you?” I pointed a trembling finger at his chest. “You married him. Chose him. Protected him. Loved him. You put that monster on a pedestal and crowned him Luna like he was worth worshipping.”My breath hitched with the rage I could barely hold back.“You let him sleep beside you while I—while I bled in silence. While I lived in fear. While I raised your child alone. And now you want to talk to me about justice?”My voice dropped, deadly and cold.“Since we’re handing out punishments, Rayne, don’t you think you should get yours too?”He didn’t flinch.Didn’t retreat.But something in him cracked.“Yes,” he said, voice hoarse, nearly inaudible. “Yes, you’re right.”The words came slow. Measured. As if they were being dragged from the center of his chest.“I was ignorant, blind,” he admitted. “Worse—I was willingly blind. I told myself lies so I wouldn’t have to face the truth. I let myself believe Reed was something he wasn’t because it was e

    AmberMy first instinct was to ignore it.I stared at the message on my phone, jaw clenched so tightly I thought my teeth might crack. Rayne’s name sat at the top of the screen, smug and steady like it had any right to still exist in my inbox.“Could you please meet up with me at the entrance of your street? I’m in a white Corvette. Please come as soon as you can, it’s urgent. I’ve neglected my duties to you long enough but not anymore. From now on, I’ll be running to you and I’m going to make up for every single thing. I swear it on the blood that runs through my veins.”The audacity.After three full days of silence. After everything. After a whole ass court case.Now he wanted to play knight in shining armor?I tossed the phone onto the cushion beside me and crossed my arms, trying to act like the message didn’t get under my skin. Like it didn’t spark a tiny flame of anxiety in the pit of my stomach. I sipped my tea and turned back to Evalie and Marina—still laughing, still shuffli

  • The Rejected Omega: There Were Times I Wished You Were Dead    Chapter 111

    AmberI sat in silence for a few seconds, letting the words sink in. It felt surreal. Marina Hunter—Rayne’s immaculately composed, impossibly poised mother—was practically begging.And how could I say no?I owed her. Without her help, I never would’ve won custody. I didn’t trust easily, not anymore, and certainly not when it came to the Hunter family—but Marina went out of her way to right a wrong. And I couldn’t forget that.So I said yes.Which is how I found myself sitting on the armchair by the living room window, sipping tea, while watching what might’ve been one of the strangest yet most unexpectedly heartwarming sights I’d ever seen.Marina Hunter, in a pale lavender blouse and pressed cream slacks, sat cross-legged on the floor across from my daughter, a small stack of Uno cards in her perfectly manicured hands. Toys and gift bags were scattered in a generous sprawl beside her, their bright colors clashing with the sharp lines of her elegance.She had brought so many gifts—plu

    AmberWhen we broke from the kiss, Ian’s eyes locked on mine with an intensity that made the air around us vanish. His stare wasn’t playful. It wasn’t teasing. It was fierce, like I was the only thing in the world that mattered in that moment. My heart skipped three beats. Maybe four.I felt the heat bloom up my neck and surge into my cheeks.Crap.Ian’s lips curved. “You look really pretty when you blush.”I groaned and turned away, my face now fully on fire. “Stop teasing me,” I muttered, burying my face in my hands.But before I could recover, I felt his arms slide around my waist from behind, warm and sure. He pulled me gently back against him, and his nose brushed the side of my neck. His voice came low and tender, murmured straight into my skin.“I’m not teasing,” he said. “Just speaking the truth.”His lips barely ghosted over the curve of my neck and I shuddered—actually shuddered. A small, involuntary sound slipped from me, something between a gasp and a moan. I clamped a han

  • The Rejected Omega: There Were Times I Wished You Were Dead    Chapter 109

    Amber The fact that that bond still existed made me angry—but more than anything, it made me sad.Sad that something so sacred could be so wrong.Sad that even now, Rayne still held a piece of me I would give anything to rip away.And scared—deeply, heartbreakingly scared—that no matter how much I loved Ian, no matter how much he loved me, we were setting ourselves up to fail.Because I could never truly be with him in all the ways that mattered, I couldn't give him all of me. My own body wouldn't let me.Tears pricked my eyes, but I blinked them away.Not now.Not when I’d finally found something real. Something worth fighting for.I didn’t know how we’d break the bond, or when, or what it would cost—but I would find a way.Because Ian Harrow wasn’t just the man I loved.He was the man I chose.I just want to be his and only his…Before I could spiral deeper into that pit, a soft knock came at the door.Gentle. Careful.My heart gave a hopeful lurch.“Come in,” I called, surprised a
