Eyes in the Wards

last update Last Updated: 2025-06-22 18:56:09

The midday sun filtered through the half-open wooden shutters of the Blackwood Pack infirmary, casting warm rays over the polished oak floors and shelves lined with jars, dried herbs, and handwritten scrolls.

The scent of lavender, rosemary, and crushed mint mingled in the air, soothing the nerves and setting a calm atmosphere.

It was a sanctuary of learning, healing, and quiet discipline — and at its center stood Luna Becca and her new apprentice, Kaelyn.

Kaelyn knelt beside the long wooden table, her attention fixed on the open herbology book Becca had laid out.

Her fingers hovered over neatly arranged samples of fresh plants.

Her hair was braided over one shoulder, her skin glowing in the golden light, and even in her simplest cotton dress, she looked ethereal.

Her quiet curiosity and determination to learn gave her a grace that went beyond beauty — and yet, it was her beauty that seemed to cause the most disruption.

Becca noticed the shifting movement near the infirmary entran

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Sounds of the Forgotten

    Mira wiped the back of her hand across her brow, smearing a faint streak of crushed lavender and sweat across her cheek. The infirmary had been especially busy this week.Becca had tasked her with preparing fresh poultices, restocking tinctures, and organizing the entire shelf of dried herbs — all before sundown. And Mira, determined to prove her worth, had accepted it all with tight-lipped enthusiasm. Her arms ached from carryi g baskets of supplies, and her knees were sore from crouching and mixing roots for hours. But still, she pressed on.Her fingers moved quickly, grinding burdock root with a pestle, but her eyes kept flickering toward the far end of the infirmary.Kaelyn was there, kneeling beside Becca as they examined a stack of ancient herbal scrolls. Mira forced her gaze back to her mortar.Kaelyn was everything Mira wasn’t. Beautiful, noble-born, gifted in herb-lore despite her lineage, and worst of all — she was kind. She always offered to help, always thanked Mira f

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    A Glimpse of Trouble

    The sun hung high above the Blackwood Pack courtyard, casting long shadows along the flagstone paths that wound through the bustling heart of the pack. Wolves in both human and half form moved through the open courtyard, their daily routines unfolding like a symphony of discipline and strength. The scent of pine, wolf musk, and firewood mixed in the air. Everything about this place radiated the iron grip of authority. The murmurs of warriors training, pups laughing in the distance, and the occasional low growl of dominance colored the air with a rhythm uniquely Blackwood.Alpha Desmond, tall and broad-shouldered with a regal gait, strolled at the center of the courtyard. His golden cloak flared slightly behind him with every step, catching the light like flame. Beside him walked Luna Seraphina, her long black curls flowing behind her like a waterfall, her eyes sharp and cool. Every inch of her radiated elegance and danger. The wolves that crossed their path instinctively bowed

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Wall Between Us

    The late evening breeze moved through the slightly open window of Alpha Eugene’s bedroom, stirring the curtains to be dancing in the air. The deepening dusk bled a soft amber light into the room, casting long shadows across the floor and the walls. Eugene stood by the carved oak armoire, his strong fingers unbuttoning his shirt. The white shift slid off his broad shoulders, revealing the thick cords of muscle that rippled beneath his skin. Scars, both old and faded, marked his body like history carved in flesh. The most prominent ran diagonally across his left pects — a reminder of the rogue attack that had nearly taken his life three winters ago.He exhaled softly as he folded the shirt and placed it neatly on the bed, his mind momentarily adrift. Thoughts of the training ground earlier that day, the sudden meeting with the blond she-wolf, and his growing tension with Becca all weighed heavily on him.Undoing the belt of his trousers, he hooked his thumbs into the waistband, re

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Stranger in Satin

    Becca sat on the cold stone bench beneath the trailing vines of the east garden, her fingers loosely clasped around the rim of a once-steaming mug. Becca’s gaze was distant, locked on something unseen, perhaps even unreachable.“He looked different,” she murmured, as if the wind itself had spoken first.Mira, seated opposite her on a smaller bench, tilted her head and raised a curious brow. “You mean Alpha Eugene?”Becca nodded, her eyes never shifting from the horizon beyond the garden walls. “He looked Stronger, tired, but there was something else… in his eyes. A kind of... restraint. Like he was holding something back. Like he wanted to speak but couldn’t.”Mira leaned forward, her hand absently toying with a wildflower growing near the edge of the bench. “Did you want him to talk to you?”“No,” Becca answered quickly, too quickly. Her voice carried a sharp edge, betraying an undercurrent of emotion she hadn’t meant to show. "I don’t really care. It doesn’t bother me."Mira rai

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Lady by the Fountain

    The handkerchief was soft against Eugene’s damp skin as he dabbed away the remnants of the cold water that had just washed over his face. The copper basin near the edge of the training field reflected the early morning sunlight, glinting gold against the dark, dew-soaked grass. His breath slowed as he looked up, the sounds of the estate’s courtyard pressing in around him like a well-worn cloak.The training field was busy this morning. The sounds of weapons could still be heard, and the scent of sweat lingered in the air. Most of the warriors were now retiring to go to eat, wash, or tend to wounds—physical or otherwise.And yet, she had remained.She had handed him the handkerchief silently, appearing as if summoned by thought. Her approach had made no sound. Her steps were too light, too careful. A shadow that chose to reveal itself.Her expression was composed, refined, and utterly unreadable. A quiet smile played on her lips—neither inviting nor cold, but something far more
