The morning sun filtered through the high glass windows of the mansion, casting golden shards of light across the marble floors.

Birds chirped beyond the garden walls, the air still thick with dew and the musky scent of old roses.

It should have been an ordinary day. Peaceful and predictable.

But the mansion was far from calm.

Servants scrambled through the long corridors like panicked ants, whispers flying on the backs of their breaths. Footsteps echoed down the stone halls.

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    New Maid

    Morning sunlight poured softly through the tall windows of Becca’s chambers, bathing the room in warm gold that contrasted painfully with the heaviness in her chest.Becca sat near the edge of the massive mattress wrapped in a cream-colored robe, her fingers absentmindedly tracing the embroidered patterns on the blanket while her thoughts spiraled endlessly.Mira, who had stayed the night beside her so she would not be alone, sat cross-legged farther down the bed watching her carefully.The room itself was unusually quiet this morning.Mira sighed softly.“You haven’t said more than ten words since last night" she said.“I’m fine" Becca replied but she didn’t look at her.Mira snorted immediately.“You also look like you want to stab somebody.”That almost earned a reaction then Becca merely exhaled quietly and looked toward the window.Life inside the mansion continued normally despite how badly hers suddenly felt shattered.Mira softened slightly seeing the pain Becca was trying to

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Mercy That Felt Worse Than Death

    The silence inside the grand hall shattered instantly.“No! You cannot do this to us!”Seraphina’s furious scream echoed against the high ceilings as she jerked violently against the guards holding her arms.Ava looked equally horrified.“A servant?” she repeated in disbelief. "You want us to become servants?”Desmond’s expression was far darker. His golden eyes locked onto Eugene with murderous rage burning inside them.The chains around his wrists rattled sharply as he stepped forward despite the guards restraining him.“You’ve lost your damned mind" he said.Eugene remained unshaken before him and Desmond barked out a harsh laugh.“This is your revenge? You’re pathetic" his lip curled with disgust.Several guards tensed immediately but Eugene simply stared at him.Seraphina’s breathing had become uneven now as humiliation flooded her entire body.Her eyes burned with fury.“I refuse" she said and Eugene finally looked toward her.“You don’t get a choice” he said.Eugene’s expressio

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    A Crueler Punishment

    The grand hall was alive with tension.Golden chandeliers glowed overhead, their candlelight reflecting against polished marble floors and towering silver pillars.Council members filled the long rows beside the throne platform, whispering quietly among themselves as guards escorted Desmond, Seraphina, and Ava into the chamber.Desmond walked with as much dignity as he could force into his posture. Seraphina looked furious and humiliated all at once while Ava looked tense, her eyes darting nervously around the hall.Eugene stood tall in black royal clothing. His face looked calm on the surface, but there was something colder in his eyes.Councillor Hadrian stood near the throne platform with clear relief shining in his weathered features.“Alpha King Eugene. It is good to see you standing again” he said warmly.Eugene gave a slight nod.“Thank you, Hadrian" he said.His gaze shifted immediately toward the prisoners and the warmth disappeared instantly.“Bring them forward" he commande

    Desmond sat on the edge of the hard cot with fury burning inside his golden eyes.Every part of his body ached, his ribs still hurt from Eugene’s attack, his shoulder remained stiff and every breath reminded him of the humiliation he had suffered in front of the entire pack.“I should’ve killed her when I had the chance” he said bitterly. Seraphina leaned against the cold wall nearby, equally tense.“You say that every ten minutes.”Desmond shot her an irritated glare.“Because it’s true.”Ava sighed tiredly from where she stood near the cell bars.“Well, saying it won’t change the fact we’re trapped down here.”Desmond’s expression darkened further.“Not for long.”Seraphina immediately looked toward him.“You finally have a plan?”Desmond smirked faintly despite his injuries.“When have I ever not had one?” he said and both Seraphina and Ava were intrigued. His voice lowered carefully.“The guards changed shifts an hour ago. The younger guard outside this corridor worshipped me be

    The moment when Eugene stopped saying impossible and started looking at the child like he might truly belong to him shattered something inside Becca. She stood motionless near the doorway while the voices around her slowly blurred together into meaningless noise.Her chest hurt like invisible claws were tearing through her heart over and over again.She had endured humiliation, rejection and pain but this felt worse somehow.Eugene finally handed the child back to Kaelyn slowly. His movements looked stiff, like he was afraid to hold him too long.Kaelyn accepted the baby quietly and the room remained painfully tense then finally Max stepped forward.He rubbed his hand over his face roughly before pointing toward the child.“We’re not standing here making assumptions. There needs to be proof" he said.Mira nodded immediately as her eyes narrowed at Kaelyn who didn’t even hesitate.“Fine” she replied plainly. That confidence only made Becca feel worse.The healer sighed softly.“I can

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    The Truth or not

    The silence inside the healer’s chamber felt unbearable.Becca stood frozen near the doorway, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as though she was physically trying to stop herself from falling apart.She hated that the moment she had walked into this room and seen Eugene awake, sitting there alive and breathing and looking at her again, everything she had rehearsed saying disappeared.Before entering the healer’s chamber, she had been furious. She had imagined storming in, demanding answers but then she had seen him alive and suddenly all the anger had tangled painfully with relief."This is your child, Alpha Eugene" Kaelyn finally said.Eugene looked completely overwhelmed. His gaze kept moving between Becca and Kaelyn like he still couldn’t fully process what was happening.The baby stirred softly in Kaelyn’s arms again. The sound somehow made the tension inside the room worse.Eugene rubbed his face slowly.“This doesn’t make sense" he said.Kaelyn’s expression remained calm.

    Mira had not slept. Her body had lain on the thin mattress in the servants’ quarters, her eyes closed, her breathing slow enough to fool anyone watching but her mind had stayed awake thinking about that scent that had seemed familiar.She could still feel it in her nose and no matter how hard she t

    The door had shut with a sharp, echoing thud and silence rushed in immediately enveloping the space.Becca stood rigid in the center of the bedchambers, her shoulders squared, her chin lifted in defiance that she refused to let crack. She could feel the weight of the room pressing on her with its
