Brian stepped out from a side archway, papers in hand, and stopped just short of her. For a split second, they stood inches apart, his chest nearly brushing the silver embroidery of her gown.

“Careful,” Brian said mildly, though a flicker of amusement lit his eyes. “The mansion is large, Luna Queen. There’s no need to walk so fast as if you're in a marathon.”

Seraphina lifted her chin. She regarded him with indifference.

“You should watch where you’re walking. I would hate for you to be flatten

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The look of suspicion

    Jack stared at Mira and Becca like they had just spoken something unreal.“What did you just say?” he asked, his voice low but edged.Mira’s fingers were still curled slightly at her sides, her nostrils flaring faintly as she tried to isolate the scent again through the thick mixture of perfumes, wine, sweat, and roasted meat that filled the grand hall.“I said, Alpha Eugene is here” she repeated, her voice hushed but firm.Becca’s heart was beating so loudly she was certain the nearest guests could hear it.Jack’s gaze snapped to her.“And you believe that?”Becca swallowed.“I don’t know what to believe but she wouldn’t say that unless she was certain.”Jack looked back at Mira.“You’re sure?” His tone sharpened, strategic now rather than emotional. “This isn’t wishful thinking?”Mira shook her head slowly.“I know what I smelled” she replied.Her eyes lifted slightly, scanning the balcony shadows.Jack’s jaw tightened.“You could be mistaken,” Jack said, though his tone lacked conv

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Thin Lines

    From where Jack stood near one of the stone pillars lining the great hall of Blackwood Mansion, his sharp eyes had been scanning the room out of habit more than interest. Becca’s shoulders were stiff, her chin lifted but her eyes unfocused as though she were trying not to look at something.Mira’s posture was alert, subtly angled as if she were shielding Becca from something unseen while Ariel looked like she might faint.Jack narrowed his eyes slightly.What is going on?Before he could think too deeply about it, he stepped away from the pillar.“Jack" Ava called and he stopped.She stood a few feet away, her glass abandoned on a nearby table, her eyes fixed on him.“Where are you going?” she asked quietly.“To walk,” he replied evenly.Ava’s gaze flicked briefly toward Mira and then back to him.“You’ve done enough walking for one night.”His jaw tightened slightly.“I don’t answer to you.”Her lips pressed together.“No, but you answer to Alpha Desmond” she said softly. He held h

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    His Scent

    The music had become unbearable.Becca stood beside Desmond like an jewelry. placed carefully at his side.Her patience was leaving by the second.“And as you can see, Blackwood’s expansion has not weakened its internal structure. If anything, our military discipline has sharpened” Desmond said smoothly, gesturing with his glass toward the vast hall.Becca rolled her eyes. She couldn’t bear to listen to him talk anymore.She shifted her weight slightly and Desmond noticed immediately. His fingers brushed the side of her back and it was not affectionate, more like a warning.“Isn’t that right, Becca?” he asked smoothly, his eyes still on the Alphas.Her chin lifted but she remained quiet.Her eyes drifted across the hall, searching for something, anything, to ground herself and then she saw Mira dressed in a simple maid’s uniform, a tray balanced carefully in her hands as she weaved between guests.Becca’s heart clenched. She took a small step away from Desmond.“Excuse me,” she said f

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Break in

    Eugene stood at the edge of the woods overlooking Blackwood Mansion. His jaw was tight, his hands were clenched at his sides.Max shifted beside him, his eyes scanning the perimeter for movement. Dorian crouched slightly lower, studying the patrol routes with the patience of someone who had done this too many times before.From this distance, the mansion looked almost peaceful.“It’s still a bad idea,” Max muttered quietly but Eugene didn’t look at him.“We’ve already discussed this” he replied. “And I’m still saying it.”Dorian exhaled slowly.“Alpha Eugene, we’re not here to charge in and drag Luna Becca out over your shoulder” he said carefully.Eugene’s eyes flashed.“I know that.”“Do you?” Max asked bluntly. “Because that’s exactly what you look like you’re about to do.”Eugene turned to him then. The anger in his expression wasn’t wild, it was controlled and focused.“Desmond is parading her around like a trophy. He announced he’s marrying her and he’s using her to provoke me”

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Old VS New

    The grand hall of Blackwood Mansion glittered like it was from a fairy tale.Crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, pouring golden light over polished floors and silk-draped tables. Music flowed from the musicians stationed near the marble staircase, their violins smooth and elegant, drums low and steady like a heartbeat beneath the noise of conversation.Becca felt every eye the moment she entered. She had underestimated the crowd waiting for her. Brian’s arm remained firm beneath her fingers as they descended the final steps.Whispers followed them.“That’s her…Luna Becca…”“She’s the one Alpha King Desmond announced…”Becca kept her chin high. If they expected shame, they would be disappointed.Across the room stood Desmond radiating confidence like an Alpha no one dared challenge.Two Alphas stood before him, broad-shouldered men dressed in their ceremonial outfits. "Discipline is the foundation of dominance. You don’t conquer by mercy, you conquer by certainty” Desmond

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Forced Smiles

    The music drifted faintly from below, rising through the polished floors and curling beneath the door like an unwelcome invitation.Becca stood near the center of her room, her reflection staring back at her from the tall mirror framed in gold. The gown clung to her form like a second skin, the dress elegant enough to belong to a queen.She stared at her reflection longer than necessary, her mind blank from thinking too much.She felt like a hostage dressed for auction and it hurt to be so helpless that she couldn't do anything about her situation. Ariel adjusted the final clasp at the back of the dress, her fingers trembling just slightly.“You look beautiful,” Ariel whispered.Becca’s lips curved bitterly.“That’s the problem" she replied, her stone cold.Candles burned low along the walls, their glow soft but suffocating. Outside the window, the sky had already changed into a deeper colour.Torches were being lit in the courtyard below and she could hear guards moving, doors openi
