The body of Lila was brought back just before the sun reached its peak.

Eugene sat on a wooden bench outside the room, eyes closed, fists balled in his lap.

He hadn’t spoken much since Becca’s outburst in the infirmary. Now, with the weight of death and insult heavy on his chest, he found himself wrapped in a silence that pulsed like a second heartbeat.

Max stood nearby, arms folded.

“I’ve assigned guards to every gate,” he said, breaking the silence. “And doubled patrols inside the estate. No

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Night Reports

    Max walked through the dimly lit corridors of the Blackwood mansion with one hand tucked inside his pocket while the other absentmindedly adjusted the sleeves of his dark shirt.The mansion was quieter now but not peaceful and everyone seemed to be waiting for the next disaster to strike.His footsteps echoed softly against the polished floors as he continued through the hallway, but unlike everyone else running around in panic tonight, he actually had a purpose.He needed to find Mira so they can talk but events keot preventing them and now the entire mansion felt like it was one argument away from collapsing.Max rubbed his forehead tiredly.Still, he couldn’t stop thinking about her and honestly that realization annoyed him because for a long time, he convinced himself he didn’t care anymore.Not after Skye.Skye’s betrayal had nearly destroyed him emotionally. Trusting someone only to realize they never truly valued him had left scars he rarely admitted existed.For days he buried

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Out of my way

    Jack stood firmly in the middle of the hallway with his arms crossed while staring at Becca and Mira like they had completely lost their minds.“You are not leaving,” he whispered harshly.Becca tightened her grip on her travel bag.“You keep saying that like I care.”“I’m serious.”“So am I.”The dim hallway flickered with candlelight, casting long shadows across the stone walls while tension crackled painfully between them.“You can’t just disappear in the middle of the night,” Jack continued quietly. “Do you even understand what Alpha Eugene will do when he finds out?”Becca laughed bitterly.“Oh, now everyone suddenly cares what Eugene feels” she said harshly. Jack sighed heavily.“That’s not what I meant" he clarified. “Then move.”“No.”Becca stared at him with growing anger.“Jack, I swear to the Moon Goddess—”“You’re pregnant!”His voice came out louder than intended and all three of them froze instantly. Jack quickly lowered his voice again while glancing around nervously.

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    False Reassurance

    Kaelyn entered her room quietly, but the moment the doors closed behind her, the composure she had been struggling to maintain completely cracked.Her eyes burned with emotion, humiliation, anger and pain.The baby slept peacefully, completely unaware of the storm surrounding their existence, and somehow that made Kaelyn feel even worse.Kaelyn stared down at the child for several long seconds then she whispered softly.“I did all of this for you" she said, her voice trembled.Ava quietly shut the doors behind them before approaching slowly.The room was warm and elegant, illuminated by candlelight and the soft crackling of the fire, but the atmosphere felt tense.Kaelyn wrapped her arms around herself tightly.“He yelled at me" she said.Ava remained silent while Kaelyn laughed bitterly under her breath.“Alpha Eugene has never spoken to me that way before.”Kaelyn slowly sat down on the edge of the bed while staring blankly ahead.“I know he’s upset, but…” She swallowed hard. “He lo

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Starting Line

    Becca stood near the foot of the bed with one travel bag hanging from her shoulder and another resting beside her feet.The room around her was still a mess from her frantic packing earlier. Open drawers hung crookedly, dresses were half-folded across the bed, and jewelry boxes sat abandoned on the vanity.But Becca no longer cared. She just wanted to get out.Mira stood near the door watching her anxiously.“You’re seriously doing this.”Becca bent down to zip the second bag completely.“Yes.”“It’s already late.”“I know.”“You’re pregnant.”Becca sighed tiredly.“I know that too, Mira" she said.Mira frowned.“How does running away help your baby?” she asked.Becca laughed softly, but there was no humor in it.“At least my child won’t grow up watching me get humiliated" she replied. The words made Mira’s chest tighten painfully. She looked genuinely heartbroken for her.“I just don’t want you making a decision you’ll regret" she said.Becca’s expression hardened instantly.“The on

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Like His Father

    Eugene pushed open the doors to his chambers with enough force to make them slam against the walls and the loud sound echoed violently through the massive room.Eugene strode further into the room with sharp, furious steps while dragging a frustrated hand through his hair.Everything was a mess. His breathing was uneven as memories from the healer’s chambers replayed endlessly in his head.The accusation hit him all over again.“Damn it!”Eugene grabbed a crystal glass from the table and hurled it across the room violently. It shattered against the wall instantly.The sound rang through the chambers but it did nothing to calm the storm inside him.He clenched his jaw painfully. He never imagined it would destroy Becca like this. The image of tears in her eyes twisted something viciously inside his chest.“She hates me now,” he muttered bitterly.A low chuckle suddenly echoed from the darker corner of the room and Eugene’s eyes immediately sharpened.Desmond stepped forward slowly from

    Becca slammed the bedroom door so hard behind her that the sound echoed violently through the hallway outside.The moment she entered the room, the control she had desperately maintained downstairs completely shattered.She grabbed the nearest pillow from the bed and threw it across the room furiously.“I hate him!”Her voice cracked halfway through the scream. The luxurious bedroom that once felt comforting now felt unbearable.Becca wiped angrily beneath her eyes before storming toward the wardrobe. She pulled the doors open aggressively, clothes immediately spilled out.“I can’t stay here, I can’t… I can’t do this” she muttered shakily. Her hands trembled violently as she began throwing dresses, shoes, and personal belongings onto the bed carelessly.Tears blurred her vision but she refused to stop.The image of Kaelyn standing there with Eugene’s child replayed endlessly in her mind then Becca let out a bitter laugh that quickly dissolved into a broken sound.“He actually slept w

    Becca stood stiffly in the hallway. The door to Brian’s chamber remained firmly shut, but the sounds from inside moved through the thick wood with cruel clarity.Becca’s wolf ears could clearly make out the sounds of slow then fast movements, as well as soft, breathy moans that made her stomach twi

    The moon hung low and heavy in the sky, sliver and beautiful, like a jewel that was meant to be admired by all.Becca stood at the window with her fingers curled tightly around the stone frame, her forehead almost touching the cold glass. The chill air moved into her skin, but she didn’t move away
