Hiding by Her Door

last update Last Updated: 2025-10-17 17:08:23

Max stood in the shadows, pressed close to the stone pillar just beyond Becca’s door. His arms were folded, one shoulder leaning lazily against the wall.

He had been there for nearly an hour, his senses sharp, watching for anything unusual or anyone foolish enough to come close to the chambers.

As the night grew older, his vigilance was losing its sharp edge, replaced by the quiet hum of thoughts that refused to leave him.

Mira.

He hadn’t seen her since their dinner and he found himself missing her.

He had apologized to Jack earlier that day but he hadn’t told Mira.

And she hadn’t looked at him properly since the incident.

He sighed softly, running a hand through his hair. The faint sound of footsteps approached.

He didn’t have to look to know it was her.

Mira turned the corner, carrying a small basket filled with folded linens and herbs. Her dark curls framed her face, and a few strands slipped free as she moved.

Max’s pulse stumbled.

He watched silently as she entered Becca’s chamb

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Mocking Stride

    Becca’s jaw clenched as Luna Seraphina's moved through all of them in a condescending way. Her long hair fell in waves over her shoulders, and the crescent emblem of the Luna Queen glinted proudly on her chest. She was followed by several armored guards who were here to make sure Becca, Mira and Max stayed back.Every step she took was deliberate, graceful, regal and venomous.“Well,” Seraphina purred, her voice slicing through the silence, “look what we have here.”Her eyes moved througb the chamber then lingered on Becca. A sharp and poisonous smile curved her lips.“The little rejected Omega,” she said softly. “Still breathing. How surprising.”Becca’s fingers curled into fists at her sides, but she said nothing, not yet.Seraphina’s laughter rang out, smooth and cruel. “You know, when Desmond told me he had you locked away, I just had to see it myself. The infamous Becca, Eugene’s precious little charity case.”Mira stiffened. “Don’t call her that,” she whispered.Seraphina’s h

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Chains of Sliver

    Eugene sat slumped against the dungeon wall, his eyes filled with anger.He had never imagined his life would come to this.Desmond’s name alone made Eugene’s jaw clench. He could still see his half-brother’s smirk in his mind, that familiar smugness visible on his face.Desmond had always been ambitious, restless, hungry for more, but Eugene had believed, foolishly, that the blood they shared meant something.Now, bound by chains in the dungeon, he realized how wrong he had been.He lowered his head, the weight of everything pressing against him until his breath came out ragged. His thoughts moved toward Becca, Max, and Mira, the three people he couldn’t stop worrying about.Where are they?He could still see the guards dragging them away and he overhead one talking about taking them to one of the lowet chambers, far from this wretched pit.Far from him.A low growl escaped his throat. The wolf within him stirred restlessly, clawing against his chest in anger and helplessness, but t

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Caged Hearts

    The iron door had not opened once since last night. The air inside the chamber was cold and heavy, filled with the faint scent of blood and anger. The single lantern in the corner flickered weakly, casting trembling shadows that were across the walls like ghosts. Becca sat curled up against the far end of the room, her arms wrapped around her knees. Her hair was tangled, her once-clean dress torn from the struggle that had brought them here. She hadn’t slept, not truly. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Eugene’s face as the guards dragged him away, and she had done nothing to stop it. Across from her, Mira paced the room like a caged wolf, her expression evident with anger and worry. The rhythmic click of her shoes echoed faintly each time she turned. “They have forgotten us,” she muttered, mostly to herself. “That’s what Desmond wants. For us to rot in here while he parades around with his stolen crown.” Max stirred where he sat by the end of the room, the dim light

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Alpha Before the Moon

    The Moon Council demanded to enter the throne room and they had authority even Desmond couldn’t simply ignore, not without consequences.Jack stepped forward. “Alpha,” he said quietly, “we should at least hear them out. It would show strength.”Desmond glanced over his shoulder, his eyes gleaming with cold amusement.“Jack, do you think I’ve taken control of this pack to prove it to anyone?”Jack swallowed the bitterness rising in his throat. Desmond’s arrogance had become unbearable since the coup, and the weight of guilt pressed harder.Desmond tilted his head toward the sound, his eyes gleaming of the Councillors demanding audience.“Well,” he murmured, “since they’ve come all this way, let’s not keep our guests waiting.”He walked down, his shoes echoing against the marble floor. Jack followed closely behind, trying to read his Alpha’s expression.The guards opened the throne room doors, revealing the grand courtyard bathed in morning light.And there they were.Six members of th

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Weight of the Crown

    The Weight of the Crown The mansion had never been so quiet.Jack moved through its halls like a ghost. Every sound, the scrape of his boots, the faint echo of a distant voice, seemed to mock the silence that had replaced life inside the mansion. stale.Jack’s thoughts were dark he walked through, his faced fixed into a frown he had no control over.He had made his choice, he knew what he had to do. If he could reach Desmond, if he could reason with him, maybe there was still a chance to stop this before the pack was torn apart completely.It had to be now.He straightened his shoulders and pushed open the doors to the throne hall.The majestic chamber welcomed him.Golden light filtered through tall windows, catching on the intricate carvings of the throne that now belonged to Desmond. The seat of the Alpha King, once a symbol of unity, now felt like the heart of corruption.Desmond sat upon it.He looked every bit the ruler he had always wanted to be. His black uniform gleamed, h

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    A Shift of Power

    The morning air inside the hallways of Blackwood mansion was stale, like too still and too quiet. The scent of submission lingered like smoke after a fire. Jack’s boots landed hard on the marble floors with an echo as he walked beside Ava.Ava’s triumphant, confident voice sliced through the silence. “Can you believe it, Jack?” she said, her tone filled with joy. “Everything finally looks... orderly. Don’t you think?”Jack didn’t respond. His eyes trailed along the corridor walls, tracing the banners that once bore the golden emblem of the true Alpha King. They had been replaced overnight, now changed to colours of Desmond’s choosing. They looked blood red and silver.The new symbol looked cruel, like a wolf with its jaws open wide.Ava caught his silence and smirked. “You should be proud. Desmond finally did what your weak Alpha Eugene didn’t have the strength to do. The pack will thank him soon enough.”Jack’s jaw tightened. He could taste the bitterness in his throat. The corri
