A Bitter Watch

The garden was too quiet.

Jack had learned, over the years, that silence in Blackwood Mansion rarely meant peace.

He stood beneath the archway that overlooked the inner gardens, half-shadowed by ivy-covered stone, his arms folded tightly across his chest.

From where he stood, he had a clear view of Brian.

Brian sat beneath a wide elm tree near the center of the garden, a thick leather-bound book resting in his hands.

He looked every bit the image of calm detachment, his long legs stretched o

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    A Walk Too Far

    The moment Kaelyn entered the forest, the atmosphere changed.The noise of the mansion gradually disappeared behind her until all she could hear was the rustling of leaves and the occasional chirping of birds hidden somewhere among the branches.She pulled her shawl closer around herself and continued along the narrow path.Every few steps, she glanced over her shoulder but there was nothing behind her.Her heart sank slightly.“He should be following me by now” she thought but she continued anyway.Perhaps Eugene had decided not to follow her. Perhaps he had finally stopped caring. That thought irritated her more than she wanted to admit.Kaelyn kicked a small stone out of her path."Stubborn man” she muttered.She had deliberately walked past him, she had refused to tell him where she was going, she had practically challenged him to come after her and yet there was still no sign of him.She walked deeper into the forest. The mansion was now barely visible between the trees.Kaelyn

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Kaelyn’s Game

    Kaelyn stood beside the large window in her room, staring down at the courtyard below. She had been standing there for several minutes without saying a word.Ava, who was seated nearby with Kaelyn's baby in her arms, noticed the unusual silence."What are you looking at?" She asked.Kaelyn didn't answer immediately. Her eyes remained fixed on the courtyard, mainly on Alpha King Eugene.He was walking across the courtyard with several guards following a few steps behind him. His expression was serious as usual, and every now and then, he stopped to speak with one of the warriors stationed around the mansion.Kaelyn's eyes narrowed. She watched him for several seconds then an idea came to her.A slow smile appeared on her lips and she walked toward the wardrobe."I've decided to take a walk” she said.Ava blinked."A walk? Now?""Why not?"Kaelyn opened the wardrobe and began looking through her clothes.Ava adjusted the baby in her arms."Should I call a maid to accompany you?" She ask

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Tyler’s Feelings

    Feelings That Refused to DisappearMira stormed through the hallway. Her footsteps echoed against the polished floor as she moved faster than she probably should have.Her mind was a mess, completely filled with thoughts of Greta, Jack, the dead maid, Max and concern for Becca and Eugene’s relationship.There were simply too many things happening at once but of all of them, one thing irritated her the most.Greta.Mira still couldn't believe what had happened in that storage room. She could still remember the sight of the dead maid and the fact that Greta had been the cause of all of it.She wished Greta had just handled ger business without dragging poor Jack into it.Mira clenched her fists. She had wanted to find Max earlier, but now she wanted to find him even more.She needed answers, she needed to know what he was doing about the missing maid and, more importantly, she needed to know why Greta seemed to be hiding something."Where is that man?" Mira muttered.She turned another

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Dark Smiles

    Jack could feel the chill of the eerie dungeon settling against his skin as he walked through the narrow stone passage beside Seraphina. The torches mounted along the walls flickered with every passing breeze, throwing long, distorted shadows across the floor.Neither of them spoke. They actually had nothing to talk about aside the fact that Desmond had done something completely insane to Jack by throwing him under the bus.And that was despicable, considering the fact that they were now working together.Jack's jaw remained tightly clenched. He had spent the entire walk thinking about what he wanted to say to Desmond.He was angry.No.Angry wasn't even enough to describe it. That word would be too calm to explain the pure rage of burning fire in Jack’s gut.Desmond had deliberately given Eugene information that had put Jack under suspicion. He had allowed Max to interrogate him and had nearly gotten him arrested for something he hadn't done.And Jack wanted answers.Seraphina finall

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Nothing to Hide

    Greta had learned one important thing since the previous night.She needed to act normal.No matter what was happening inside her head, she couldn't allow anyone to see it. So she walked through the mansion as though nothing had happened.Her face remained composed as she carried a basket of folded linens through the hallway. She greeted the servants she passed and even managed a polite smile when one of the maids spoke to her.Inside, however, her heart was pounding.The maid is dead.Every time the thought entered her mind, she pushed it away.She couldn't afford to think about it, she couldn't afford to look frightened and most importantly, she couldn't afford to give Max a reason to suspect her."Greta."She stopped and her heart jumped. Slowly, she turned. Max stood at the end of the hallway with three guards behind him.Greta forced herself to smile."Beta Max.""Come with me” he said plainly.She glanced at the guards."Why?""I need to ask you some questions” he replied.Greta

    Becca remained completely still as Eugene's words seemed to hang in the air between them."Tyler is in love with you."She stared at him, unable to immediately process what he had just said. She slowly looked toward the cradle beside her."I didn't know" she said.Eugene's expression hardened."You didn't?" He asked."No, I didn't" she answered. "You never suspected anything?"Becca hesitated."Perhaps...I noticed he was different with me" she said.Eugene's eyes narrowed, his jaw tightened and Becca noticed."You asked me to be honest" she said."I am listening" he replied. "Tyler always seemed concerned about me and I thought that was simply because he's a good person" she explained. Eugene scoffed."Apparently, it was more than that" he said.Becca sighed."I suppose I should have guessed."Eugene's eyes sharpened."You should have" he replied firmly. Becca looked at him."But I'm not angry" she said.That immediately caught Eugene's attention."You're not? Why?" He asked.She

    The weight of being watched never left Eugene’s shoulders.Even as he and Max moved through pack town with measured steps, their baskets filling with supplies which comprised of dried meat, medicinal herbs wrapped in cloth, bandages, and rope, the sensation crawled along his spine like a second ski

    The door had shut with a sharp, echoing thud and silence rushed in immediately enveloping the space.Becca stood rigid in the center of the bedchambers, her shoulders squared, her chin lifted in defiance that she refused to let crack. She could feel the weight of the room pressing on her with its

    The night held its breath.Torches burned along the stone walls of the hideout, their flames flickering violently as if even fire could sense the fury brewing between the Alphas standing face to face. The cold air was thick with tension, so thick it felt like it could be cut with a blade.Eugene s

    The first scream cut through the strategy chamber like a blade.Eugene’s head snapped up instantly, his instincts roaring before his mind could catch up.“That wasn’t from the outer tunnels,” Dorian said sharply. “That was inside.”Robin swore under his breath. Sax straightened from the map table,
