Ava moved quickly through the eastern hallway, her soft slippers barely making a sound against the polished floor. Dawn had not yet broken, but the sky beyond the tall windows had begun to change.

She had not slept, not properly, not with Jack on her mind.

Her fingers curled anxiously around the folds of her dress as she replayed their last conversation over and over again.

She remembered his calm face, his stubborn refusal to admit fear and the way he had looked at her like he was already pre

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Trap Tightens

    Greta descended the narrow stone staircase into the dungeon with trembling hands. Every step seemed louder than it should have been.Her heart pounded against her ribs as she approached the cell where Desmond was being held.She had initially intended to find Jack but the moment she heard that Max was going around much strictly, she knew she couldn't simply wait.She needed answers and there was only one person who could give them to her.The guards immediately recognized her."Stop."Greta froze."I need to speak with Alpha Desmond" she said politely. One guard frowned."Do you have permission?"Greta swallowed."Tell him Greta is here and I have information concerning the mission" she replied.That was enough.One guard approached the cell and spoke quietly. A few moments later, Desmond's voice echoed from inside."Let her in" he ordered. The door opened and Greta hurried inside. Desmond was sitting against the stone wall, looking far too relaxed for someone imprisoned in a dungeo

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Kaelyn Wouldn't Back Down

    Kaelyn paced across her room for what felt like the hundredth time. Her footsteps echoed softly against the polished floor then she turned, walked toward the window and turned again.It was an endless circle with no ending, it seemed.Her arms were folded tightly across her chest, and her expression remained twisted with anger.She couldn't stop thinking about last night, Eugene's face, his voice, the way he had pushed her away after she kissed him. And, most of all, his words."Don't ever do that again."Kaelyn's jaw tightened."How dare he?"Ava, who was sitting near the fireplace with Kaelyn's baby in her arms, glanced up."Kaelyn...""Don't" she warned her.Ava sighed."I'm not even saying anything" she said."I know what you're going to say" she replied. "Then perhaps you should stop pacing" Ava suggested. Kaelyn stopped then she glared at her."Do you think this is funny? Because I don't."Ava gently rocked the baby."I'm simply saying that walking around like you're preparing

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Blank Investigation

    Greta moved through the mansion with a tray balanced carefully in both hands. Her expression was calm, or at least, she desperately hoped it looked calm.Inside, however, her thoughts were anything but peaceful. Every few steps, her mind returned to the storage room.She tried to push the memory away.Don't think about it. She couldn't afford to, not where anyone could see the slightest change in her expression.Greta adjusted her grip on the tray and continued down the corridor.A few servants passed her and she smiled politely."Good morning.""Morning, Greta."She kept walking but her heart was pounding. She had convinced herself that everything was over, the maid was gone, the evidence had been removed.Nobody knew. At least, nobody was supposed to know. Then she heard voices coming from the courtyard.Greta slowed.Two guards were standing near the fountain, speaking quietly."...still haven't found her."Greta's steps immediately stopped and her fingers tightened around the tray

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Missing Maid

    The morning sunlight had barely reached the windows of Alpha King Eugene's study when he sat behind his enormous wooden desk, staring at absolutely nothing.A book lay open before him but he hadn't read a single word. A cup of tea sat untouched beside his elbow and it had gone cold.Eugene didn't care, his mind was somewhere else, back in the dungeon, back with Desmond as his mind kept on replaying the words he hadn't been able to get out of his head since he heard them. "I have proof that Jack is responsible for the death of a maid."Eugene's jaw tightened. He hated the memory of those words.Desmond had always been a manipulator, a man who could turn a harmless conversation into a trap.Eugene knew his half-brother too well. If Desmond wanted him to believe something, there was usually another reason behind it.And yet, something about the accusation refused to leave his mind.Eugene leaned back in his chair."Jack."He said the name quietly.It didn't make sense. Jack was not the

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Look in Becca's Eyes

    Morning arrived quietly at the mansion.Soft golden sunlight slipped through the curtains of the healer's chambers, painting thin lines of light across the floor.For several seconds after opening her eyes, Becca simply stared at the ceiling. She didn't know where she was, her body felt strangely heavy, her head felt light and her muscles ached as though she had spent the entire night fighting a battle.Then she remembered the labor, the pain and the cries of her baby.Becca slowly swallowed."Where's my baby?" She asked, her voice was weak.The healer, who had been arranging bottles of herbs on a nearby table, immediately turned around."You're awake."Becca blinked."Where is my baby?" She asked again. The healer smiled."Your son is perfectly fine."Relief washed over Becca's face then she closed her eyes for a moment."Thank the Moon Goddess" she said.The healer walked toward her bed."How are you feeling?" She asked."Lightheaded" Becca answered. "That's expected. You lost a d

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Accusation

    The dungeon was colder than usual.The stone walls seemed to absorb whatever warmth entered the place, leaving the corridors dark, damp, and suffocating.The guards stationed outside the main chamber immediately straightened when they saw Alpha King Eugene approaching.Eugene didn't acknowledge them, his expression was hard and his steps echoed through the corridor.He was very irritated. He had been in the middle of dealing with Tyler when Desmond had asked for him and Eugene hated that, especially by a prisoner.When he reached the cell, he stopped. Desmond was sitting calmly on the stone bench inside.bHe looked almost comfortable.Eugene's eyes narrowed."What do you want?"Desmond looked up then a slow smile appeared on his face."Is it bad I asked to see you?" He asked. Eugene stepped closer to the bars."You will never do that again" he warned. Desmond raised an eyebrow."Good afternoon to you too" he said."I'm serious. You don't summon me like some servant" Eugene cautioned

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The infirmary guests

    The infirmary smelled faintly of sage, dried lavender, and boiled willow bark. Mira’s sharp eyes darted over the room like a hawk surveying her territory. “Move the herbs closer to the window,” she ordered briskly, her voice clear and commanding. A young maid jumped to obey, clutching a basket

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Intercepted Path

    The streets of Blackwood’s pack town thrummed with restless energy that day. Midday light poured down in beams through the canopy of swaying trees, but the warmth of the sun could not melt the chill of unease in the air. Merchants raised their voices with forced cheer, calling out prices for fre

    Most of the pack members who had come for treatment had already left, going back to their homes as the sky dimmed into dusk. Lanterns were being lit one by one, tiny points of light flickering against the deepening shadows. But Mira’s eyes kept darting toward the path leading into the woods, her ha

    The next morning, the Blackwood mansion was alive with rumors.Servants walked through the corridors, their voices pitched low, though the words they shared carried far.
