Poison in the Blood

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-08-10 19:57:08
The air of the sacred grounds felt heavy—like the weight of centuries of duels, grudges, and blood oaths clung to the very wind that stirred between the towering monolith stones.

Moonlight poured over the ancient arena in silver waves, casting stark shadows on the ring where Alpha Eugene and Alpha Desmond stood.

The crowd, tightly packed into the seats of carved stone, leaned forward, caught between awe and apprehension.

Eugene’s breathing was steady at first, but shallow—too shallow.

His side, where Desmond’s claws had raked across his flesh minutes earlier, burned with an ache that was far from normal. Even the wind brushing over it felt like acid.

The pain throbbed beneath the surface, deeper than the wound itself, and in the back of his mind he knew—this was not natural.

The fight had paused for just a heartbeat—Desmond circling with a smirk, waiting for Eugene to push past the agony.

Eugene’s back straightened, hiding the tremor in his arm. The crowd didn’t know yet, b

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Shackles of Distrust

    The torches along the wall flickered, casting restless shadows across the bruised and battered figure tied to a chair in the center of the room.Jack sat there, wrists bound behind the wooden frame, two guards holding his shoulders down as if he might spring up at any moment. His shirt clung to his body, torn in places, blood staining the fabric from the blows he had taken already. Still, he stared ahead as though daring the world to break him.Max stood in front of him, tall and unforgiving. His jaw was clenched tight, his expression hard as stone. The second-in-command of Alpha Eugene’s was not known for mercy, and today, his patience had been worn thin.“You’re lying to me, Jack,” Max’s voice was sharp, edged with frustration. “I can smell it on you. I can hear it in every word you’re spitting out. Don’t play me for a fool.”Jack’s eyes, dark with exhaustion, still glimmered with that stubborn spark. “I’ve told you the truth over and over. I was in the woods because Becca was ta

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Chains and Voices

    The chamber smelled of blood, iron, and sweat. Its walls were stone, slick with damp, and the single torch burning in the corner cast jagged shadows that danced across the floor. At the center stood a wooden chair, bolted down, and bound to it with thick ropes was Jack.His arms were pulled tight against the backrest, his wrists raw where the cords dug into skin. Two guards held him down whenever he moved, their grips firm and unyielding. His face was bruised but his jaw remained locked with defiance.Before him stood Max, his chest heaving with rage barely restrained. His eyes glowed faintly with the simmer of his wolf, his fists clenching and unclenching as if itching for more violence.“You’re going to answer me, Jack,” Max growled, his voice deep, dangerous. “And if you lie one more time, you’ll regret it.”Jack spat blood to the floor and looked up with a bitter smile. “You’re wasting your time. I’ve told you already, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Max slammed his f

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Longing Behind Closed Doors

    The sun blazed warmly over the courtyard of Blackwood mansion. Mira stood among the laundry maids, her sleeves rolled to her elbows, hands working as she helped peg down the corners of Becca’s bed linens. Though she was not required to join such work, she found the rhythm of it calming, her heart unburdened for the first time in days. She lifted one of the sheets with another maid, shaking it out before they pinned it securely to the rope. The scent of sun-dried cotton mingled with the chatter of the maids. They spoke in hushed tones, mostly about Becca, about her beauty, her kindness, and her recent kidnap. Some whispered about the tension between Becca and Alpha Eugene, others speculated on whether their bond would survive the storm of whispers that spread through the pack. Mira kept silent at first, her lips pressed into a thin line. She had no wish to fuel gossip, but inside her chest, a thought pulsed, persistent and sharp. If only Becca would soften toward Eugene, if o

    Ava’s posture was rigid, her arms folded across her chest, eyes gleaming. Seraphina, calm but no less sharp, stood with her hands on her stomach, her expression unreadable yet her aura carrying the weight of unspoken words. “You know this isn’t right, Alpha Eugene,” Ava’s voice broke the silence first. “Brian shouldn’t be here.” Max’s head snapped toward her. “Not right? He kidnapped Becca. He and his dogs dragged her away like prey. Don’t stand here and act like he’s some misunderstood wolf nursing a broken heart.” “I didn’t say he was innocent,” Ava countered, her eyes flashing with frustration. “But Alpha Eugene, you destroyed his pack. You wiped them out as though their lives were insignificant and now you expect him to sit quietly without lashing out?” Eugene’s jaw clenched, his silence heavy. He met Ava’s gaze briefly before shifting it to Seraphina, whose calm eyes were no less accusing. Seraphina spoke, her voice low and deliberate. “She’s right. The pack are watching

    Alpha Brian sat on the floor, his back pressed against the wall of his cell, shackles biting into his wrists. Brian closed his eyes, fury swirling inside him like a storm that refused to calm. He could see her face again, Becca’s, that cursed, wretched woman. The memory of last night gnawed at him. His men had dragged her to him, helpless in the woods, and he had hesitated. He could have ended it all in that single moment. He ground his teeth. "Why didn’t I kill her?" Hatred coursed through Brian’s veins, hot and blinding. He wanted to rip Eugene apart piece by piece. He wanted to see Becca suffer, to watch her break under the same torment he endured. He wanted their pack, their whole wretched pack, to burn until nothing remained but ash. The creak of metal jolted him from his thoughts. The dungeon door groaned open. Heavy footsteps echoed across the stone floor, reverberating through the silence. The rogues stirred, some hissing insults, others falling into nervous quiet.

    The morning air carried the smell of steel as Eugene walked across the stone courtyard with Max at his side. He had tried to forget about last night with Becca but it was a battle he kept loosing. He exhaled through his nose, jaw tight, shoulders rolling with tension. His shoes clicked against the ground, the rhythm sharp, almost angry. Max kept pace beside him, his expression calm but observant. He knew Eugene’s moods as though they were his own. “Brian and the other rogues still aren’t talking,” Max said, his tone serious, though his eyes flickered sideways to measure Eugene’s silence. “We’ve tried every method short of force. They just sit there. None of them give a damn about their lives, apparently.” Eugene grunted but didn’t answer. Max continued. “It’s strange, though. They’re too calm for men who know they’ll be executed if they don’t cooperate. Makes me think they’re waiting for something or someone.” Eugene’s brows knit, but his mind drifted back to the image of Bec
