LOGINThe entire great hall had fallen into absolute silence. Every single eye remained fixed on the woman standing at the entrance with a child in her arms.Kaelyn looked the same and somehow completely different from the woman Becca remembered.The guards near the doors looked uncertain whether to stop her or allow her forward. Even the servants standing along the walls seemed frozen in place.Becca stared at her in complete shock. Her mind struggled to catch up with reality.Seraphina frowned deeply, Ava looked confused, Mira narrowed her eyes suspiciously, Max looked openly tense now while Jack seemed deeply unsettled.Even Hadrian silently studied Kaelyn carefully.Kaelyn slowly stepped into the hall, the sound of her boots echoed softly against the marble floor.She walked forward like she belonged there, like the chains around Desmond meant absolutely nothing to her.The guards instinctively moved aside for her and Becca finally found her voice.“Kaelyn…”Kaelyn’s eyes shifted toward
The moment Desmond lunged, chaos exploded through the great hall.Gasps echoed loudly from every corner of the chamber as guards instinctively reached for their weapons. Several servants screamed softly in fear while the crowd stumbled backward in panic.His eyes burned with pure rage as he reached toward Becca.“YOU—” he said but Becca moved first.For one split second, instinct completely took over. She stepped aside sharply just before his hand could touch her then she shoved him hard.Desmond completely lost his balance and in front of the entire hall, the former Alpha King crashed violently onto his back.The entire room froze.The silence lasted only a heartbeat before the guards reacted.“Grab him!”Several guards immediately rushed forward and restrained Desmond before he could stand again.Desmond snarled violently, struggling against them despite the obvious pain in his body.“GET OFF ME!”The guards forced him roughly back onto his knees.Desmond looked absolutely murderous
The great hall felt suffocating beneath the weight of silence.Every eye remained fixed on Becca standing before the chained prisoners and no one felt that humiliation more deeply than Desmond.The former Alpha King slowly lifted his head while kneeling before Becca, and the hatred burning in his eyes looked almost inhuman.The same Omega he had rejected was passing judgment on him.Finally, Desmond laughed. The sound echoed coldly through the hall.“You truly believe this is real? She sits on a throne for one night and suddenly everyone forgets what she is?” His voice dripped with disdain as he slowly looked around the gathered crowd.Becca remained silent and Desmond smirked when she didn’t respond immediately.“That throne belongs to Alphas, not rejected Omega sluts who got lucky" he spat.Several people gasped softly. Mira’s expression darkened instantly, Max’s aura flared dangerously but Becca still said nothing.Desmond took her silence as weakness and his smile widened.“You ca
The doors to the great hall opened slowly and immediately, silence spread across the massive chamber.Every conversation stopped, every movement paused and every pair of eyes turned toward Becca.Becca’s heartbeat quickened slightly as she stepped forward beside Max. The sound of her heels against the polished stone floor echoed loudly throughout the chamber.Guards lowered their heads respectfully, servants stepped aside instantly and pack members placed fists against their chests in greeting.Even some of the older wolves who once looked down on her now showed visible respect.Becca tried not to let her shock show on her face.Beside her, Max remained calm and steady, walking with the confidence of someone entirely used to commanding attention.Mira followed close behind them, her posture proud and protective.The resistance members were gathered near the center of the hall.Robin smiled proudly the moment she saw Becca, Sax gave a respectful nod and Dorian looked openly emotional,
Morning arrived slowly over the Blackwood estate.The rain from the previous night had finally stopped, leaving the world outside washed in pale silver light. Inside Becca’s chambers, silence rested heavily across the room. She stirred faintly beneath the thick blankets before slowly opening her eyes.For a brief moment, everything felt peaceful then reality returned. Her heart immediately tightened as her sleepy gaze shifted beside her.The space beside her was cold. Even though she already knew Eugene was still unconscious in the healer’s chambers, waking up without him beside her still made her chest ache painfully.She slowly sat up, pressing a hand against her stomach instinctively.“I hate this,” she whispered quietly to herself.A knock sounded softly against the chamber doors and Becca straightened slightly.“Come in.”The doors opened carefully, and Mira stepped inside carrying folded clothing in her arms.Unlike yesterday, Mira looked calmer today. The moment her eyes lande
The rain outside started pouring steadily against the tall windows of the chamber while the fire crackled softly nearby, but none of it comforted her now.Becca stared at Hadrian as though he had just handed her the moon itself and expected her to carry it.She slowly stood from her chair and shook her head.“No… I can’t.”Mira frowned softly.“Becca—”“No.”Becca wrapped her arms around herself protectively.“You don’t understand.”Hadrian studied her carefully.“Then explain it to us.”Becca laughed weakly, but the sound carried no amusement.“How am I supposed to lead an entire pack? I was a rejected Omega" she said, her voice trembling with disbelief.The old pain in those words filled the room instantly and Mira’s expression softened.Becca looked away toward the rain-covered windows.The shame she carried from those memories still lingered deeply inside her despite everything she had survived.“I spent most of my life being looked down on,” she whispered.Hadrian remained silent
The night held its breath.Torches burned along the stone walls of the hideout, their flames flickering violently as if even fire could sense the fury brewing between the Alphas standing face to face. The cold air was thick with tension, so thick it felt like it could be cut with a blade.Eugene s
Eugene snapped, not the slow, simmering fury that had been burning in his chest since Desmond’s laughter echoed across the resistance hideout, but a violent, instinctive break, the kind that came from a wolf pushed beyond restraint.The soldiers holding him barely had time to react.One moment, the
The first scream cut through the strategy chamber like a blade.Eugene’s head snapped up instantly, his instincts roaring before his mind could catch up.“That wasn’t from the outer tunnels,” Dorian said sharply. “That was inside.”Robin swore under his breath. Sax straightened from the map table,
Jack stood in his chambers, sleeves rolled slightly, preparing for what should have been an ordinary evening by Blackwood standards but tonight, the walls felt thinner.Outside his window, too many torches moved. Guards crossed the courtyard in groups instead of pairs, armor gleaming beneath the mo
