Becca’s shoes tapped softly against the polished wooden floor, echoing down the corridor like a countdown she didn’t want to reach the end of.

She didn't want to go.

Every part of her screamed against it. But she had to. For them.

A guard stationed at the study door dipped his head respectfully.

“Luna Becca.”

She forced a tight smile.

“Is he inside?”

“Yes, Luna. He’s been in there for hours.”

Of course he had.

She took a breath and knocked.

No answer.

She knocked again.

Still silence.

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    A Child's First Cry

    The corridor outside the healer's chambers had never felt so suffocating.The heavy wooden doors remained firmly shut. Every few moments, muffled voices drifted through from the other side, followed by hurried footsteps as healers moved about inside.Mira couldn't stand still. She paced from one end of the corridor to the other, wringing her hands together.Her heart felt as though it would burst from her chest."Come on, Becca, please be alright" she prayed. She stopped in front of the closed doors."I should be in there" she muttered under her breath.Instead, she was trapped outside, forced to imagine every painful scream Becca must be enduring.Her stomach twisted."I hate this..."Without thinking any further, she reached for the door handle but before she could touch it, a firm but respectful voice stopped her."Mira stop."Mira turned to see Max standing directly in her path. His arms were folded across his broad chest, but there was sympathy in his expression."I'm afraid you

    The news spread through Blackwood Mansion with astonishing speed..Every servant seemed to be whispering the same thing."My Lady Becca has gone into labor and the healers have already begun.""The Alpha King hasn't left her side."Jack had only just heard the news himself."What? She went into labor already?" He asked, his eyes widened.One of the young servants nodded excitedly."Just a little while ago, Sir Jack. They rushed her to the healer's chambers not too long ago" he replied. Without another word, Jack turned on his heel."I need to get there."His boots echoed sharply against the polished stone floor as he hurried through the corridors. His heart raced.He had barely rounded the next corner when a voice stopped him."Sir Jack."Jack frowned and looked over his shoulder to see one of the castle guards standing several feet behind him.The man looked unusually uneasy."What is it?"The guard glanced nervously up and down the corridor before lowering his voice."I have a messa

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Outside the Healer's Chambers

    Chaos erupted throughout the Blackwood Mansion.Servants hurried through the corridors with bowls of steaming water, fresh linens, herbs, and medical supplies. Every hallway buzzed with anxious whispers as the news spread like wildfire."Lady Becca has gone into labor!"Becca barely registered any of the noise. A sharp contraction tore through her abdomen, forcing a cry from her lips. She gripped the edge of the stretcher so tightly her knuckles turned white."It hurts...it hurts so much..."The healers surrounding her spoke gently as they hurried her toward their chambers."Easy, Lady Becca. Take slow breaths. You're doing well.""Just a little farther."Another contraction struck and Becca squeezed her eyes shut."Eugene...It hurts" her voice trembled.Eugene walked beside her without taking his eyes off her. His usually composed expression had completely disappeared, his jaw was clenched, his fists were tight.Every cry that escaped Becca seemed to strike him harder than any blade.

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    A Race Against Time

    The castle gardens had become unusually quiet. The afternoon sun cast long shadows over the neatly trimmed hedges, while a gentle breeze carried the sweet fragrance of blooming roses through the air.Mira sat on a stone bench beneath the sprawling branches of an ancient oak tree, her fingers absentmindedly tapping against the smooth surface beside her.She hadn't stopped thinking, not since yesterday. Every time she replayed the events in her head, she became more convinced that something wasn't right.Footsteps approached and Tyler appeared carrying two steaming cups of herbal tea."I thought this might help" he said kindly. Mira accepted one with a grateful smile."Thank you."He sat beside her."So, you said this was our first strategy meeting" he said.Mira couldn't help smiling."It sounds more official when you call it that" she replied. Tyler chuckled."I suppose it does."She looked around cautiously before lowering her voice."I don't know who might overhear us" she said.T

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Heightened Pressure

    Kaelyn had barely slept. Every time she closed her eyes, all she could picture was her son's tiny face, the way he always reached for her whenever she held him.Now, he was gone and the emptiness in her arms felt unbearable.She had spent the entire night pacing outside Eugene's chambers, only to lose the courage to knock each time she reached the door.She had apologized to him countless times in her head, she had rehearsed every word. By morning, her pride had completely disappeared.She would kneel if she had to, she would beg if she had to. Anything to hold her baby again.Taking a shaky breath, Kaelyn finally raised her trembling hand and knocked softly.Her heart pounded and she wrapped her fingers around the handle and pushed the door open."Alpha King..."Her voice immediately died in her throat because standing inside the room was Becca, holding her son.Kaelyn froze. For a split second, relief washed over her then relief quickly turned into rage as her eyes locked onto Becca

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    A New Ally

    Near the far end of the garden, Tyler was kneeling beside a row of lavender bushes. A basket sat beside him, already half-filled with weeds he had carefully pulled from the soil.Unlike everyone else in the mansion, Tyler never seemed to be in a rush. There was something peaceful about him that Mira had always admired.She took a deep breath before walking towards him. Tyler sensed someone approaching before she even spoke.He looked over his shoulder and immediately smiled."Mira" he greeted. She managed a small smile."Morning."He dusted the soil from his hands before standing. His warm brown eyes studied her for only a second before concern settled over his features."You don't look like you've had a very restful night" he pointed out.Mira sighed."Was it that obvious?"Tyler chuckled softly."A little" he replied. He gestured towards a wooden bench beneath a large oak tree."Would you like to sit?"She nodded gratefully and the two of them walked over and sat beneath the shade

    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

    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,

    Eugene stood with his hood still drawn low, his posture relaxed in a way that was anything but. Alpha power coiled tightly beneath his skin, contained only by sheer will. Max stood a step to his left, his shoulders squared while Skye leaned casually against the wall as though this weren’t a privat
