The Rejected Omega's Redemption Hidden in-between his eyes
The hallway was still, too still. It was the kind of stillness that screamed of things left unsaid, of danger hiding in plain sight. A cold, unnatural silence clung to the walls, broken only by the faint echo of departing footsteps. Jack stood there, his shoulders tensed, breath uneven. His once-crisp formal attire was now rumpled, a cruel reminder of the violent encounter he had just endured. The impact of Desmond's shove had left more than just wrinkles on his clothes—his pride, his control, and most importantly, his ability to hide the truth, were all unraveling fast.Across the hallway, Mira stood motionless, her eyes wide with disbelief. Her gaze was locked onto Jack, her lips slightly parted as if the words were there, waiting to fall. The disbelief in her expression was like a sharp blade pressed gently to his chest. Jack knew that if she asked the wrong question, if she had heard even a fragment of what Desmond said, her life would no longer be safe. And right now, Jack
The Rejected Omega's Redemption The Weight of Everything
The air was colder than usual.Jack stood motionless, his boots rooted to the marble floor of the east corridor, his hands clenched tightly into fists at his sides. Lila was dead.Sixteen years old, soft-spoken maid with doe eyes and nervous hands. She was barely seen, always trying to blend into the walls. And now, she was gone.Jack’s stomach churned as the image flashed in his mind again. He rubbed a hand down his face, his chest tightening. He felt guilt dig into his spine, sharp and unforgiving.He had never thought something like this would happen to that girl, even though she had stumbled upon information she wasn’t supposed to hear. He had expected Alpha Desmond to simply threaten her into obedience then let her go.But that wasn't the case.And that’s when he saw them.Alpha Desmond and Seraphina, walking casually out of the infirmary, her fingers laced delicately through his as though nothing in the world was amiss. They laughed at something—her sharp voice ringing out l
The Rejected Omega's Redemption Ashes in the Air
The body of Lila was brought back just before the sun reached its peak.Eugene sat on a wooden bench outside the room, eyes closed, fists balled in his lap. He hadn’t spoken much since Becca’s outburst in the infirmary. Now, with the weight of death and insult heavy on his chest, he found himself wrapped in a silence that pulsed like a second heartbeat.Max stood nearby, arms folded.“I’ve assigned guards to every gate,” he said, breaking the silence. “And doubled patrols inside the estate. No one gets in or out without your clearance.”Eugene opened his eyes slowly. “Good.”Max studied him for a moment. “You think this was an inside job?”Eugene’s jaw clenched. “I don’t know what to think yet. But someone wanted that girl dead—and they made sure she suffered.”Before Max could respond, the door to the room opened, and Becca emerged. Her face was calm, but her eyes were dimmed with grief.“She was strangled,” Becca said, her voice low. “There are bruises on her wrists and ankles.
The Rejected Omega's Redemption The Scent of Death
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. Doors slammed open and closed. The kitchen had gone silent, the clanging of pots replaced with the frantic murmuring of frightened maids. Something terrible had happened.And it started with a scream.Max had burst into the pool area, his usually calm face pale and tight with tension. He didn’t say a word at first. Just stood at the edge, his breathing ragged as he tried to collect himself. Eugene was now reclining on a chair near the pool, his shirt half unbuttoned and damp from a quick dip, laughing casua
The Rejected Omega's Redemption The Stirring Storm
The late afternoon sun began its slow descent beyond the treetops, painting the sky in shades of rose and amber. In the upper wing of the grand mansion, Becca stood shrouded in shadow behind a tall window draped with heavy crimson curtains. She had intended to take a moment for herself, to gather her thoughts, to remind herself of the resolution she had made countless times these past weeks—that she was done with Alpha Eugene, that the fracture in their bond was irreparable.But the soft sounds of laughter from the courtyard below pulled her in like a magnet. She had told herself she wouldn’t look. She had promised herself she didn’t care. And yet… here she stood, her knuckles white around the edge of the curtain as she watched Eugene and Kaelyn by the pool.The two were sitting so close their shoulders almost touched. Eugene’s head was thrown back in laughter, the sound carrying up to Becca’s window like a ghost. Kaelyn’s hair tumbled over her shoulder, glinting gold in the sun a
The Rejected Omega's Redemption Ripples Beneath the Surface
The afternoon sun shimmered off the surface of the pool, dancing in ripples against the white marble tiles that surrounded the grand courtyard of the mansion. The air was warm, but a gentle breeze carried with it the faint scent of pine from the forest beyond the estate’s high walls. Kaelyn sat at the edge of the pool, her legs dangling into the cool, soothing water, her toes curling as the gentle waves lapped against her skin.She drew in a deep breath, the scent of freshly cut grass filling her nose. Her reflection on the pool’s surface wavered with every ripple, just like her thoughts. Mira’s words played over and over in her mind.Kaelyn clenched her fists at her sides, her knuckles pale against her beautiful skin. "I don’t have feelings for him," she insisted silently. "I admire him. He’s a powerful Alpha and a protector."But even as she told herself that, heat spread across her chest, a shameful warmth she couldn’t quite smother.Mira’s recent behavior hurt almost as much.
