The corridor outside the healer's chambers had never felt so suffocating.

The heavy wooden doors remained firmly shut. Every few moments, muffled voices drifted through from the other side, followed by hurried footsteps as healers moved about inside.

Mira couldn't stand still. She paced from one end of the corridor to the other, wringing her hands together.

Her heart felt as though it would burst from her chest.

"Come on, Becca, please be alright" she prayed.

She stopped in front of the closed

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    A Secret Visit

    Jack waited until he was certain his duties were complete before leaving the western corridor. He had spent the better part of the afternoon making sure every important route around the mansion was properly guarded.He had stationed guards at strategic points and made sure they understood exactly what they were supposed to do if they noticed anything suspicious.To anyone watching, Jack looked completely focused on his responsibilities, he looked like a man determined to protect the mansion.And in a way, he was. But there was something else on his mind.Greta.The moment he was certain the guards were properly positioned, Jack quietly left the area.He didn't tell anyone where he was going, he didn't even tell Mira. He knew better than to do that.The last thing he needed was for someone to discover that he had gone to the dungeon to speak with Greta. Especially after what had happened that morning.Jack moved through the corridors carefully, taking different routes instead of using

    Breakfast eventually came to an end.The uncomfortable silence that had filled the dining hall for most of the meal slowly began to break as everyone started pushing their chairs back.Jack was the first to stand. He wiped his mouth with a napkin before rising completely."I should go. I want to inspect the open routes around the mansion” he said as he straightened his clothes.Max immediately looked up."Which routes?""The places where rogues might have entered from. If the murdered maid was really attacked by rogues, we need to make sure there isn't another way into the mansion that we're overlooking” Jack explained.Max's expression changed then he folded his arms."I think we should look at this differently” he said.Eugene's attention immediately shifted toward him."What are you suggesting?"Max glanced around the table."We've been assuming the maid was killed by rogues because that's what the evidence seemed to suggest."Jack scoffed."And what changed?"Max looked directly a

    The newly prepared breakfast arrived several minutes later.The maids entered the dining hall carrying trays of freshly prepared food, placing them carefully across the large table. The smell of warm bread, eggs, fruits, porridge, and several other dishes filled the room.Under normal circumstances, the sight of so much food would have been comforting. Today, it only seemed to make the silence heavier.Everyone began eating and nobody spoke.The only sounds were the occasional clinking of cutlery against plates and the soft movements of the maids as they made sure everyone had what they needed.Max remained unusually quiet, his attention, however, wasn't entirely on his food. Every few moments, his eyes moved toward Mira then Jack and back to Mira.He couldn't shake the feeling that something was happening between them, something they weren't telling him.Greta's words kept replaying in his mind.Max had already noticed the strange way Jack and Mira had reacted when he brought it up.

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    No More Waiting

    Seraphina did not return to Kaelyn's room after leaving the dining hall, she had no intention of doing so. There were far more important things that needed her attention.Her footsteps echoed through the corridors as she made her way toward the dungeon, her expression hard and her mind filled with anger.If Greta confessed everything before her execution, it could destroy all of them, especially Desmond and if he fell, Seraphina knew she would fall with him.She reached the entrance of the dungeon and immediately approached the guards stationed outside. She could see Eugene had replaced the former ones with a new set.She frowned."Open the door” she ordered.One of the guards looked at her."Lady Seraphina, the Alpha King ordered—""I didn't ask what the Alpha King ordered." Her voice was sharp. "I said open the door."The guards exchanged a glance then Seraphina stepped closer."You know who I am” she said.The guard lowered his eyes."Yes, my lady” he replied."Then open the door."

    The guards immediately pulled Greta away from the dining hall and she struggled against them as they dragged her toward the large doors, her face pale with fear."Please!"Her voice echoed throughout the dining hall."Alpha King, please!" She begged but Eugene didn't respond.He remained standing beside the table, his expression hard and his jaw tightly clenched.Greta looked around desperately, hoping someone would intervene. Her eyes landed on Jack."Jack! Please!" She pleaded.Jack's body stiffened and he looked away. He couldn't save her, not after what she had admitted.The guards continued dragging Greta away."Please, I beg you all!"Her cries became fainter as she was taken farther down the corridor. Eventually, the doors closed behind her and silence returned to the dining hall.Becca slowly looked toward Eugene. She could still feel the weight of everything that had happened.She knew Greta had done something terrible, she had deliberately tried to poison Mira, there was no

    For several seconds, nobody in the dining hall moved. Max stood near the entrance with the guards beside him and Greta held firmly between them.The silence was so heavy that even the usual sounds of servants moving around the mansion seemed to have disappeared.Alpha King Eugene's eyes remained fixed on Max."What is going on?" He asked.Max stepped forward."I found Greta in the kitchen. She was standing over Mira's breakfast, being suspicious” he explained.Greta immediately shook her head."That's not what happened” she said.Max ignored her while Mira's face changed."My breakfast?"Jack immediately looked at her and Max nodded."I watched her deliberately create a distraction so the maids would leave the area. Once they were gone, she took a vial from her clothing and poured its contents into Mira's soup” he continued.A shocked gasp escaped several of the maids.Mira stared at Greta and for a moment, she couldn't process what she had just heard."She tried to poison me?" She as

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Torn Apart

    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 first thing Becca became aware of was pain.Not sharp like something dull and pulsing, sitting heavy behind her eyes, spreading down her spine. Her head throbbed viciously, each heartbeat a reminder that she had been struck and dragged like cargo.Loud raised voices reached her through the fog

    Ash clung to Alpha Eugene’s shoes as if the ruins themselves were trying to keep him rooted there.He stood at the center of the devastation, unmoving, his broad shoulders tense beneath his torn cloak.Behind him, Max stood a few paces away, his arms folded tightly across his chest. His jaw was cl

    Eugene stood over the table, his hands braced flat against the wood, his shoulders rigid beneath his coat. His eyes moved slowly, deliberately, committing every detail on the map to memory even though he already knew them by heart. He had walked these plans in his mind so many times they haunted h
