The silence between Max and Skye stretched and he could still feel the temptation to forget everything and just go with her.

His chest rose sharply as the thought hit him fully, his mind painting the image too clearly.

“No.”

The word came out firm.

Skye’s breath caught slightly.

“Max—”

“No,” he repeated, louder this time.

He stepped back, putting distance between them, as if being too close to her was dangerous.

“You don’t get to do this,” he said.

Skye frowned, confusion and hurt flashing acro

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Something More

    The guards immediately pulled Greta away from the dining hall and she struggled against them as they dragged her toward the large doors, her face pale with fear."Please!"Her voice echoed throughout the dining hall."Alpha King, please!" She begged but Eugene didn't respond.He remained standing beside the table, his expression hard and his jaw tightly clenched.Greta looked around desperately, hoping someone would intervene. Her eyes landed on Jack."Jack! Please!" She pleaded.Jack's body stiffened and he looked away. He couldn't save her, not after what she had admitted.The guards continued dragging Greta away."Please, I beg you all!"Her cries became fainter as she was taken farther down the corridor. Eventually, the doors closed behind her and silence returned to the dining hall.Becca slowly looked toward Eugene. She could still feel the weight of everything that had happened.She knew Greta had done something terrible, she had deliberately tried to poison Mira, there was no

    For several seconds, nobody in the dining hall moved. Max stood near the entrance with the guards beside him and Greta held firmly between them.The silence was so heavy that even the usual sounds of servants moving around the mansion seemed to have disappeared.Alpha King Eugene's eyes remained fixed on Max."What is going on?" He asked.Max stepped forward."I found Greta in the kitchen. She was standing over Mira's breakfast, being suspicious” he explained.Greta immediately shook her head."That's not what happened” she said.Max ignored her while Mira's face changed."My breakfast?"Jack immediately looked at her and Max nodded."I watched her deliberately create a distraction so the maids would leave the area. Once they were gone, she took a vial from her clothing and poured its contents into Mira's soup” he continued.A shocked gasp escaped several of the maids.Mira stared at Greta and for a moment, she couldn't process what she had just heard."She tried to poison me?" She as

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Loud Footsteps

    The moment Alpha King Eugene entered the dining hall, Becca's eyes briefly met his but only for a second.She immediately looked away. She wasn't ready to deal with him, not after everything that had happened that morning.Instead, Becca turned her attention toward the nurse maid standing nearby with her son."Is he comfortable?" she asked softly.The nurse maid smiled."Yes, Luna. He's calm” she answered.Becca nodded."Make sure he's properly supported” she instructed."Of course."Becca leaned slightly closer to her baby. The small child shifted in the nurse maid's arms, and Becca's expression softened.For the moment, that was all she wanted to focus on, her son, not Eugene, Kaelyn or the uncomfortable conversation waiting between her and her mate.Eugene noticed as his eyes remained on Becca for several moments.He had expected her to look at him, perhaps even acknowledge him. Instead, she had deliberately turned her attention elsewhere.He couldn't blame her, but it still hurt.

    Greta froze and for a moment, she couldn't even breathe. Max stood directly in front of her, his eyes fixed on her with an intensity that made her stomach twist.He had seen her, there was no doubt about it, but Greta wasn't ready to give up.She quickly forced a confused expression onto her face."Beta Max?"Max didn't move."What did you put in the soup?" He asked.Greta blinked."I don't know what you're talking about” she said innocently.Max's jaw tightened."I asked you a question so answer me” he demanded.Greta glanced toward the nearby maids. She needed to stay calm. She couldn't allow herself to panic."I was only helping in the kitchen” she said.Max looked toward the bowl of soup behind her."You were standing over Mira's food” he said.Greta shook her head."I wasn't doing anything.""I saw you” he insisted."You must have misunderstood what you saw” she argued.Max's eyes narrowed."Misunderstood?""Yes." Greta gave a nervous little laugh. "I was simply stirring the soup

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    An Uncomfortable Breakfast

    Becca sat quietly on the edge of the bed, staring down at her hands. She had been sitting there for several minutes without saying a word.Her mind was still replaying the scene from earlier that morning.She wasn't sure whether she had been right not to listen, but at that moment, she hadn't trusted herself to hear anything he had to say without becoming even more upset.She was still angry, she was hurt and she was jealous.She hated admitting that last part, even to herself, but she couldn't deny it.The thought of another woman spending the night in Eugene's room had unsettled her in a way she hadn't expected.Especially Kaelyn.Becca slowly exhaled. She wasn't ready to face Eugene again.Not yet."You're thinking too much” Mira's voice pulled her out of her thoughts.Becca looked up to see Mira standing nearby, watching her carefully."I'm fine” she said.Mira raised an eyebrow."You've said that three times already” she said."Because I am” Becca insisted.Mira walked closer."B

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Poisoned Soup

    Greta moved quietly through the mansion corridors, keeping her head lowered as she made her way toward the kitchen.She wasn't in a hurry.Hurrying would only make her look suspicious.Instead, she forced herself to maintain the calm, ordinary pace of a maid who had somewhere to be and nothing to hide. But beneath the calm expression on her face, her mind was racing.She had only one goal that morning.Every few steps, Greta glanced over her shoulder. She needed to be certain that nobody was following her.The mansion was unusually busy that morning. Maids moved through the corridors carrying folded clothes, trays, and fresh linens. Guards stood at different points along the hallways, while servants hurried about their morning duties.There were too many eyes, too many opportunities for someone to notice her and Greta couldn't afford a mistake.She reached the corner leading toward the kitchen and slowed down. She looked behind her one last time and the corridor was empty.Good.Greta

    The heavy, rusted gates of the dungeon groaned open with a reluctant creak, the echoes bouncing off the stone walls like whispers of long-forgotten prisoners. The place was carved to break spirits. No soul came in here and left the same. Alpha Eugene descended the stone steps with purpose in his

    Desmond's chambers were dimly lit by the soft golden flicker of candlelight, casting gentle shadows along the walls. The air was thick with the scent of amber and cloves, sensual and heavy. The bed, draped in velvet sheets and embroidered silks, creaked softly beneath them as Desmond hovered above
