Moonlit Worries

last update Last Updated: 2025-08-02 18:43:10
The moon was rising slowly into the dark sky, a glowing force suspended in a sea of stars.

Its pale silver light spilled across the estate grounds, turning the white stones of the courtyard to shimmering glass and outlining the edges of the roses in the garden like they had been kissed by frost.

The night slated for the duel between Eugene and Desmond was truly beautiful, a clever irony to the ugliness that was going to happen very soon on sacred grounds.

Inside the Wast Wing of the mansion, soft light spilled from under the crack of Becca’s bedroom door.

“Hold still,” Mira muttered, tugging at the ties of Becca’s ceremonial robe. “You’re fidgeting like you’re going into the ring yourself.”

Becca released a nervous breath.

“Maybe I should. At least then I would feel useful" Becca said and her frustration was obvious in her voice.

She had been told that she wouldn't be the healer on standby during the duration of the duel and although there were other trained healers, she still

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Whispers

    The silence stretched into one heartbeat then two.Desmond’s eyes narrowed. “I said bring the prisoner.”The command cracked like a whip across the execution square.The crowd shifted uneasily now, anticipation curdling into confusion. Wolves exchanged glances, murmurs rising in low waves. The guards stationed near the dungeon entrance did not move immediately, and that hesitation, brief but unmistakable, sent a ripple of unease through the gathering.Seraphina’s fingers tightened against the fabric of her gown while Ava felt her breath catch.Finally, footsteps echoed from the stone passage leading up from beneath the square. Two guards emerged, their faces pale, their posture stiff in a way that spoke of fear rather than discipline.They stopped several paces from the platform and every eye fixed on them.Desmond’s voice dropped, deadly calm. “Where is she?”The guards exchanged a look. One swallowed hard and stepped forward, dropping to one knee so abruptly it looked like he mig

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Day of Justice

    The execution square of Blackwood pack was filled to the brime once again, the air clouded with numerous voices. Wolves stood shoulder to shoulder beyond the benches, filling every available space, their murmurs rising like a restless tide beneath the pale sky.New banners of Blackwood pack hung high, their black-and-silver fabric snapping sharply in the wind. At the center of the square stood the execution platform, freshly scrubbed, freshly reinforced, the wood still bearing the scent of sap and iron. The gallows loomed behind it, rope coiled neatly, cruelly patient.This was not merely an execution, this was a message.Margot, Head of the Council, stood at the front with the other councilors flanking her. Her expression was grave, her lips pressed thin as her sharp eyes swept across the crowd.“They came early,” one councilor muttered under his breath.Margot nodded. “Fear gathers faster than loyalty.”A trumpet sounded and silence fell in uneasy waves. From the eastern archway,

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Urging His Legs

    Jack stood at the top of the narrow stone stairwell, one hand resting against the wall, the other clenched so tightly his knuckles ached.He had left Brian behind with no backward glance, his heart pounding so hard it felt as though it might tear its way out of his chest. “Move,” he whispered to himself.Jack didn't carry a torch because it was too obvious. Instead, he relied on memory, on the faint glow of wall-mounted sconces placed far apart, their flames weak and wavering.Two guards stood at the first gate and they were obviously getting tired of just standing in one place. Jack knew he needed to get past them without being seen and doing that sounded easily said than done.The only way to get past them without getting seen was to knock them out and Jack had the perfect solution.He picked up two stones and flung the with full speed at the two guards. It collided with a huge force on their heads and they fell to the ground unconscious.Jack slid past them and made his way inside

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Rolls of steam

    Brian leaned back against the smooth marble edge of the large bath, arms stretched wide, eyes half-lidded in indulgence.Two girls knelt at the edge of the pool, their fingers worked scented oils into his shoulders and arms. Another stood behind him, carefully pouring warm water over his dark hair, her movements practiced and reverent. Laughter bubbled from Brian’s chest, low and amused, as one of them splashed him accidentally.“Careful,” he said. “You’ll ruin the illusion that I’m being pampered like a king.”The girl flushed and apologized quickly, though her smile lingered.Beneath Brian’s relaxed posture and teasing tone, his senses were sharp. He did not need to turn his head to know he was not alone beyond the bath.Jack had been watching since yesterday.Brian felt him like a weight at the edge of the room, controlled, restrained, and restless. The kind of presence that tried very hard not to be seen, which only made it more obvious to someone who knew what to look for.Desmo

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    What Is Left Unsaid

    The silence did not break when Becca and Mira returned to the main room, if anything, it thickened.Max stood where Becca had left him, the knife now resting untouched on the table beside him. He stared at nothing in particular, his expression carefully blank, as though he had locked every thought behind a door he refused to open. When he heard their footsteps, he did not turn.Mira slowed, her steps faltering for half a heartbeat before she forced herself to continue walking, passing him without a glance. The space between them felt deliberate now, like two warriors circling a wound neither wanted to touch.Becca watched them both with quiet intensity.“Eugene will be back soon,” she said aloud, more to fill the space than to inform. “He will want to eat before we head out again.”Mira nodded. “I’ll finish preparing the stew.”She moved toward the hearth, busying herself with the pot hanging above the fire. Her hands worked automatically adding herbs, stirring slowly but her thoug

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Silence Between Them

    The cabin had never been so loud, not because of sound, but because of the silence.Mira sat at the small wooden table near the hearth, carefully sorting dried roots into neat bundles, her movements precise and controlled. Across the room, Max stood by the wall where Eugene had hung his weapons, sharpening a blade that did not need sharpening. They did not look at each other, they did not speak and they were doing it so badly that it was impossible to ignore.Becca noticed first.She stood near the doorway that led to the sleeping quarters, a woven basket tucked against her hip, watching them with a frown that deepened with every passing second. Eugene stood beside her, his arms folded across his chest, his eyes moving slowly from Mira to Max and back again.Max shifted his stance, deliberately turning his back whenever Mira moved.Mira responded by focusing even harder on her task, as though the roots in her hands were the most important thing in the world.Becca sighed softly.“I
