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 Dangerous Accusation

    Vincent stared at Tyler and Becca, still trying to understand why they had suddenly appeared in his room.Becca glanced around the room, taking in the broken furniture, scattered glasses, and several guards groaning on the floor."What happened here?" she asked.Vincent scoffed. "Your Alpha king's guards decided to storm my room and arrest me for something I know absolutely nothing about” he said.One of the guards struggled to his feet, holding his aching ribs."Luna, we have orders to bring him in. We were only doing our duty."Becca turned toward him."Why are you trying to arrest him?" She asked.The guard hesitated before answering."Alpha King Eugene wants Luna Queen Becca returned to the mansion immediately. We were also instructed to arrest Vincent and his companions because they are suspected of conspiring to assassinate the Alpha King” he explained.Becca's expression changed."Assassinate Eugene?""Yes, an attempt was made on his life earlier today. The attacker was killed

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    A Frightening Encounter

    Kaelyn stared at Mira, completely taken aback by the question that had just escaped her lips.For a brief moment, she couldn't find the words to respond. Her heart pounded as she studied Mira's face, desperately searching for signs that she had remembered what happened between them.Had Mira finally regained her memories? Was she remembering when she had pushed her down the stairs?Kaelyn felt a cold shiver run down her spine. She hadn't expected something like this to happen, especially after spending so much time believing that Mira would never remember what had happened."What did you just say?" she finally asked, trying to sound calm.Mira frowned, still looking at her with confusion."I asked what you did to me” she said again.Kaelyn swallowed. "Why would you ask me that?""I don't know." Mira pressed her fingers against her temple. "Something strange just happened when you touched my arm. I saw something, but it disappeared so quickly."Kaelyn's fingers tightened around the ed

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Ruined Fun

    Vincent had decided that the best way to survive their ridiculous visit to Blackwood Pack was to forget about it entirely.He was sprawled comfortably on a couch in his room, a glass of whiskey in one hand and an amused smile on his face. Two women danced beside him, moving to the loud music playing from the musicians he had hired, while another sat close enough to refill his glass whenever it became empty.For once, Vincent wanted to enjoy himself.He had spent the past few days listening to Tyler talk about Becca, watching him make one foolish decision after another, and pretending that their Alpha’s ridiculous demand made any sense.What exactly had Alpha Philip expected them to achieve? March into another Alpha's territory and demand that he surrender his Luna Queen?It was madness.Vincent took another generous sip of whiskey and leaned back, allowing one of the women to sit beside him."Honestly, I don't understand him," he muttered.The woman smiled. "Who?""My cousin” he ans

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    A Memory Awakens

    Kaelyn walked through the mansion's hallway with an amused smile playing on her lips.She had heard about Tyler's unexpected return to Blackwood Pack and the outrageous demand his delegation had presented to Alpha Eugene. Kaelyn couldn't have been more entertained.Of course, she knew Eugene would never agree to Tyler's demand. His possessiveness toward Becca was far too strong, and he would probably rather start a war than allow another man to take his mate.But that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, Kaelyn intended to make the situation even more interesting.She had one particular objective in mind: convince Eugene that Becca wasn't worth all the trouble.If she could make him question whether keeping Becca by his side was worth the constant conflicts, perhaps he would eventually begin to see things differently.Kaelyn smiled to herself. She had always believed that Becca's presence brought unnecessary complications into Eugene's life. Between Tyler's feelings for her, the

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Temptation to Run Away

    Becca couldn't believe how stubborn Tyler was being. She had spent the last several minutes trying to make him understand that his presence in Blackwood Pack was creating unnecessary tension, but he seemed determined to ignore every warning she gave him."Tyler, are you even listening to me?" she asked, frustration evident in her voice."I am listening” he said."Then why are you still insisting on staying?"Tyler looked at her, his expression serious."Because I'm not leaving without you” he answered.Becca let out an exasperated sigh and turned away from him."You're making this so difficult.""How am I making anything difficult? I'm simply refusing to give up on someone I care about” he argued."Someone you care about?" She turned back toward him. "Tyler, this isn't some romantic adventure. You came here with an official delegation to demand that Eugene relinquish his mate. Do you understand how insulting that is to him?""I don't care how he feels about it” he said."Well, you sho

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    A Poisoned Blade

    Eugene reacted just in time.The moment the attacker lunged at him, he twisted his body and grabbed the man's wrist, preventing the knife from plunging directly into his chest. However, the blade still grazed his side, leaving a sharp cut against his skin."Eugene!"Max's voice rang through the stables.Eugene gritted his teeth, struggling to push the attacker away. The man fought desperately, attempting to drive the knife into him again, but Eugene caught his other arm and forced him backward.Before Eugene could overpower him completely, Max rushed forward. With one swift movement, he grabbed the attacker from behind and twisted his neck.A sickening crack echoed through the stables then the man's body went limp and collapsed to the ground."Max!" Eugene snapped.Max immediately released the dead man and turned toward him."Alpha Eugene, are you hurt?" He asked as he looked around at Eugene for any sign of a large stab wound."I'm fine” Eugene answered, his breathing slightly labore

    The cold silver light of the moon bathed the ancient forest in a pale, ethereal glow, casting long shadows that danced with the rustling trees as Desmond led Jack deeper down the path of dead leaves. Twigs cracked beneath their feet and the faint howls of distant wolves echoed like ghosts through

    The silence after Desmond’s decree was so complete it felt like the throne room itself had stopped in time.Becca stood frozen at the center of the marble floor, her hands clenched into fists so tight her nails bit into her palms. For a heartbeat, she wondered if she had misheard him. If her mind

    The crisp air of the early morning filled Jack's lungs as he walked through the vast garden. The vibrant colors of the flowers, a mixture of pinks, reds, and purples, painted the scene like a tapestry, yet his mind was far from the beauty around him. His thoughts kept drifting to Mira—the way she
