The Door Between Us

last update Last Updated: 2025-06-03 17:37:44

Becca stood by the door, unmoving, her hand still lightly pressed against the lock.

Mira lingered behind her, her fingers nervously fidgeting with the hem of her blouse.

Neither of them spoke, but the weight of their indecision filled the room like a thick fog.

Outside, the steady sound of knocking had ceased, replaced now by the muffled shuffle of feet.

Brian was still there, waiting.

"Becca..." Mira’s voice was soft, hesitant. "Should I hide Alpha Eugene?"

Becca shook her head.

“There’s no time.”

More knocking.

“Becca?” Brian's tone was casual, but it carried an edge Becca couldn’t ignore. “You in there?”

Becca turned back toward the door, inhaled, and reached for the lock.

“Wait,” Mira whispered, grabbing Becca’s wrist. “Are you sure?”

“No,” Becca admitted quietly. “But we don’t have a choice.”

The door creaked open.

Brian stood just outside.

His eyes swept over Becca the moment the door cracked, and his brows furrowed.

“You took your sweet time,” he said. “Everything okay?”

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Discovery

    Becca returned to the infirmary, her boots clicking softly against the polished stone floors, her breath coming in uneven bursts. The heavy double doors creaked as she pushed them open. Inside, Mira looked up immediately from the counter, her hazel eyes reflected both surprise and concern.“You’re back,” Mira said, the tension in her voice betraying how long she had been waiting. “The mixture is nearly ready. What happened? Why were you summoned so suddenly?”Becca fingers trembled slightly, and she clenched them into a fist to steady herself.“They know,” she said quietly. “About Eugene.”Mira froze. The color drained from her face.“What?”“They asked me outright if I was harboring him,” Becca said, her voice hoarse. “I had to pretend and act shocked then deny everything like my life depended on it. Because it probably does.”Mira’s hands clenched around the edge of the counter. Her mind raced through every possible scenario, every conversation they’d had, every step they had ta

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Inquisition

    The grand hall of the Vargus mansion was an architectural marvel—one carved from centuries of tradition and drenched in silent intimidation.A red carpet the color of fresh blood split the room in half, leading directly to an elevated dais, where Alpha King Thessarion sat upon his iron throne.Becca walked between two towering guards, her feet light but her heart heavy. Every breath she took echoed in her ears, a dull drumbeat against her ribcage. Mira had been left back at the infirmary, and Becca could only imagine the torment her best friend was suffering, waiting in uncertainty.Just behind her, Brian followed like a shadow—silent, sharp-eyed, unwilling to let her face this tribunal alone.The moment Becca’s boot touched the polished marble of the inner hall, a hush fell over the entire room. Conversation ceased mid-sentence. Dozens of high-ranking wolves—Elders, generals, council advisors—turned their eyes on her.Their gaze were piercing, measuring and condemning.Her finger

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Shadows Over the Brew

    Becca ran a hand through her hair, pacing the storage room with an urgency that betrayed her composed facade. Her boots thudded softly against the stone floor, echoing between the shelves of glass vials and ancient tomes lining the walls."I know," she muttered. "He’s fighting the sedative already. That dosage should have knocked out a full-grown direwolf for half a day. But Eugene’s not just any wolf—he’s an Alpha. When his mind goes, the wolf takes over. And the wolf doesn’t sleep."Mira’s voice trembled. "So what do we do? What happens when he wakes up and he just wants to get violent?"Becca stopped pacing. Her eyes narrowed with purpose. "We need a stronger compound. One that can suppress his motor functions without harming him.""You have something like that?""I have the recipe. The theory. But I need the right base element... something natural that binds with his mind and calms him down. Almost like his elixir but not as strong." She paused, her expression darkening. "The o

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Betrayer’s Whisper

    The midday sun cast a golden hue over the Vargus Pack, a glimmering mirage of a territory nestled between towering pine forests and mist-covered hills. Laughter echoed and lovely music played from a guitar by a blind old man near the fountain’s edge. However, woven into the chorus of daily life was a name—repeated like a blessing from the Moon Goddess herself.“Becca!”“She healed my daughter’s lungs! The girl couldn’t breathe last moon!”“My crops failed, but she gave my wife a tonic. Saved her from wasting away.”“She’s touched. Divine. Not of this world.”Alpha Desmond walked through the streets like a shadow among sunlight, a long black cloak trailing behind him, the hood drawn low over his face. Every whispered praise of Becca clawed at his insides, each murmur of her name digging deeper into his flesh.Becca.The name hung heavy in the air—sweet and suffocating.His Becca.His once pathetic omega. That once trembling, worthless tool he remembered. And now they worshipped he

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Entering The Vargus Pack

    Max paced the forest floor, his boots crunching the dry leaves beneath them. Desmond, the ever-arrogant Alpha, moved beside him, his presence a constant weight on Max’s shoulders. They had reached the outskirts of the Vargus pack’s territory, the scent of pine and the distant sounds of the pack’s everyday life surrounding them. The trees grew dense, their thick trunks casting shadows over the ground as the two wolves moved deeper into enemy territory.The tension between them was palpable. Max couldn’t hold his anger in any longer.“This is your fault, Desmond,” Max hissed, his voice low but seething.Desmond didn’t even glance at him. He kept walking with his chin lifted high, as if he could ignore the fire that burned in Max’s chest. “You’re still whining about that? Eugene made his own decisions, Max. He knew exactly what he was doing when he ran off.”Max’s hands curled into fists, his jaw clenching with frustration. “He went to rescue Becca! You didn’t care about her. You d
