The clinking of silverware faded into the low hum of servants clearing plates. The meal had ended, but no one seemed eager to leave.

Eugene poured himself another glass of wine, his movements controlled but thoughtful. Max was silent, elbows resting on the table, staring into the flames.

Mira, however, hadn’t taken a single sip of her drink since her last words to him. Her posture was rigid, her jaw tight.

Becca forced a smile, hoping to diffuse what remained of the tension.

    Kaelyn’s eyes fluttered open slowly.For a moment, she lay still, expecting to feel Eugene’s presence beside her, his steady voice, his warmth, the reassuring weight of his attention.But there was nothing, only the faint scent of herbs and silence.Her brows tightened. She turned her head slightly to see an empty chair, just the healer moving quietly across the room, organizing fresh bandages.Kaelyn pushed herself up slightly.“Alpha Eugene?" She called out softly to him.The healer turned immediately.“You should not be moving yet.”Kaelyn ignored her.“He was here, wasn’t he?”The healer hesitated.“Yes… earlier.”Kaelyn’s expression darkened.“Where did he go?”The healer sighed.“Alpha Eugene had urgent matters to attend to" she replied. Kaelyn’s fingers curled slightly into the sheets.“Becca" she muttered angrily. The healer frowned.“You should not be thinking about that right now. You fainted—”“I’m fine" her voice cut through the room.She swung her legs off the bed and t

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Poison in the Silence

    Eugene stood a few steps away, his eyes fixed on the corpse with a sharp, unreadable focus. Behind him, Max remained still, alert, watching everything.Eugene took one slow step forward then another. His gaze narrowed slightly as he studied the body more closely.There were no signs of movement and no signs of breathing, just stillness.Max leaned slightly forward.“Eugenw" he called put but he didn’t answer immediately.His instincts were screaming. Something about this felt off.Desmond, standing a few steps behind them, watched carefully. His expression was calm but Inside, however, he was counting.Just a little closer, that was all Eugene needed. Just enough to inhale the poison thathad been carefully released into the air around the body.Desmond’s eyes flickered slightly as he watched Eugene lean in just a fraction more.Yes, that was it.Then Eugene stopped and Desmond’s smile almost faded. He straightened slightly then turned his head slightly toward Max.“Call the guards" he

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Words Sharper Than Claws

    The moment Seraphina stepped fully into Becca's room, the atmosphere changed. It was as if someone had poured fuel onto a fire.Seraphina looked completely unbothered. She closed the door behind herself with deliberate calm before turning to face them.A faint smile rested on her lips but it was not friendly which only made Becca angrier."Leave" she ordered, her voice cold.Seraphina raised an eyebrow."How welcoming" she replied. "I said leave.""And I heard you but I chose not to listen" Seraphina said casually as she examined her fingernails.Mira let out a humorless laugh."Funny. I don't remember giving you permission to enter" she shot at her.Seraphina finally looked at her."My mistake."Her tone made it obvious she didn't think it was a mistake at all.Mira's eyes narrowed. Becca could practically feel her patience disappearing."What do you want?" Becca asked.Seraphina tilted her head."Nothing.""You're lying" Mira said immediately. Seraphina sighed dramatically."There

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Midnight Trap

    The healer's chambers had grown painfully quiet and thinking was the last thing Eugene needed right now.He sat beside Kaelyn's bed, his elbows resting on his knees as he stared at the floor.His hand moved to his forehead. A headache was beginning to form again.Everything seemed to be collapsing at once and somehow he was expected to hold it all together.Eugene let out a long breath."What a mess" he murmured. His voice was barely audible.Across the room, the healer was quietly organizing herbs then she glanced toward him."You should get some rest" she said.Eugene laughed humorlessly."Rest?"The healer nodded."You look exhausted.""I am exhausted" he replied. The healer sighed."Then rest" she urged.Eugene shook his head."I can't" he said.Every time he closed his eyes he saw Becca, the hurt in her expression and the disappointment. He could practically see the distance growing between them and it was eating him alive.Suddenly, the doors opened and Max entered quickly, hi

    The walk back to Becca's room was far from peaceful. Mira had been silent at first but then her patience finally snapped the moment they stepped through the bedroom door.The door had barely clicked shut behind them when Mira rounded on her."What were you thinking?" She demanded. Becca blinked in surprise."You snuck off to Eugene's study when you know you shouldn't" Mira continued. Becca looked away."I know" she said.Mira threw both hands into the air."Then why are you acting like you don't know?"Becca dropped onto the edge of her bed. The movement made her grimace slightly."You see?"Becca rolled her eyes."I'm fine" she said.Mira sat down beside her."You're impossible" she shook her head.That finally earned a small laugh from Becca and the tension eased slightly.Mira stared at her."You scared me" she said.The words came out quieter, more vulnerable and that immediately erased the smile from Becca's face.Becca reached over and squeezed her hand."I'm sorry."Mira sigh

    Tyler exhaled slowly as he stepped out of the mansion. The moment the heavy doors closed behind him, he felt as though he could finally breathe again.The cool evening breeze brushed against his face.Normally it would have calmed him but tonight it didn't, not even close. His thoughts were a complete mess, his emotions were worse.He felt restless."Damn it" he cursed then kicked a small stone across the path.The pebble bounced into a nearby flowerbed, still not enough to ease his frustration. Because no matter how hard he tried, his mind kept replaying what had happened inside Eugene's study.Tyler groaned then rubbed both hands over his face."What was I thinking?" He asked himself. He had overstepped, badly. Eugene was the Alpha King, Becca was Eugene's Luna and their relationship was none of his business.He had no right inserting himself between them.He shook his head as fhe memory made him cringe.Moon Goddess.What kind of fool challenges an Alpha King inside his own mansio

    The infirmary was thick with tension, almost tangible enough to choke on. Mira crept along the polished floorboards, her ears straining to catch every sound as she inched toward the cabinet where the elixir had been stored. Every movement had to be calculated, silent, and careful. From across t

    The air in the chamber hadn’t yet cleared of the storm that had just passed. Becca stood stiffly, her eyes darting across the room. On one side, Mira lingered near Jack. Though they stood close, there was a cautious space between them, a distance neither of them dared bridge yet, even if their l

    The sterile air of the infirmary was filled with a chilling sound—a growl so deep and primal that it shook the very walls of the Blackwood estate. Becca froze mid-step, her breath hitching in her throat. She had heard that sound before. Before anyone could comprehend the impossibility of it, Alph

    The room was too quiet. Becca’s breath caught in her throat the moment the heavy oak door closed behind her, sealing her inside with him. The scent of cedarwood and iron filled the air—Alpha Eugene’s scent, commanding, masculine, suffocating. Her heart pounded against her ribs, fighting between i
