Wounds That Still Bled

Mira stood awkwardly just inside the doorway. She still couldn't quite believe he had allowed her in.

Jack walked past her without saying a word, making his way towards a small cabinet near the fireplace.

The silence between them stretched painfully and neither of them seemed to know where to begin.

After a moment, Jack reached for a glass bottle filled with a deep amber liquid. Beside it sat a pitcher of chilled water. Without asking what she preferred, he poured two glasses.

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Almost Fell

    The mansion had finally fallen quiet.After an exhausting day filled with accusations, arguments, and whispers, the corridors outside Eugene's chambers had become almost completely silent. Only the faint sounds of guards changing shifts could occasionally be heard beyond the heavy doors.Inside the room, the fire had burned low and Eugene was asleep on the couch. He had refused to take the bed, just as he had promised.One of his arm rested beneath his head while the other lay loosely across his chest. His breathing was slow and even, and the exhaustion that had followed him throughout the day was evident on his face.Kaelyn, however, was nowhere near asleep. She lay on the bed with her eyes open, staring into the darkness.She had been thinking and thinking.She had come into this room believing she could get closer to Eugene. Instead, he had placed himself on the couch as though there were an invisible wall between them.Kaelyn slowly turned her head toward him. Even asleep, he look

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Eugene’s Bedroom

    Eugene returned to his chambers feeling more exhausted than he could remember being in a very long time.The events of the day had followed him everywhere.Eugene stopped in the middle of his room and sighed heavily. He had barely eaten.He had intended to remain in the dining hall longer, but somehow he had found himself returning to his chambers instead.He frowned as he remembered the dinner.“Why did I even bother going back there?” He wondered.He shook his head. Max hadn't been there either. That was unusual.Normally, Max would have remained close by whenever Eugene was dining, especially with everything happening in the mansion.Eugene walked toward his wardrobe.“Perhaps he's still angry.”He couldn't blame him. Earlier, Eugene had ordered Jack to take responsibility for the guards stationed around the estate.Max clearly hadn't liked the decision. Eugene had seen the look on his face.He had also seen the way Max had glared at Jack but he trusted that he would eventually und

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Uneasy Feeling

    Jack had never expected Mira to come to his room, not at this hour and certainly not with those words.“I want to spend the night with you.”The sentence kept replaying in his mind as he stood beside the door, staring at her. Mira seemed nervous too.Jack closed the door and the soft click of the lock somehow made the room feel smaller.“You're sure about this?” he asked.Mira nodded.“I am.”Jack studied her face. There was worry in her eyes and that somehow made his chest tighten.“This is the first time you've ever come to my room by this time and you suddenly want to spend the night here?” he said.Mira gave him a small smile.“I told you. I don't want to be alone tonight” she replied.Jack sighed and rubbed his forehead.“You're making me nervous” he admitted.Her eyes widened slightly.“I'm making you nervous?” She asked.“Yes” he answered.“You're the one who has been acting strangely all day” she said.“I've had a difficult day” he replied.Mira's expression softened.“I know.

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Inside Jack’s Chambers

    Max stood outside the private chamber for a moment, his expression grim as two guards carried the dead maid inside.He had personally ordered that no one else be allowed near the body until the autopsy was completed.The maid’s death had been disturbing enough, but what bothered Max most was how little sense the entire situation made.The body had supposedly been attacked by rogues, yet something about it felt wrong.It was too convenient, too perfectly timed nd Max had learned a long time ago that when something felt too convenient inside the royal estate, it usually meant someone was hiding something.“Make sure no one enters this room without my permission,” Max instructed the guards.“Yes, Beta.”“And what about the medical practitioner?” Max asked.“He should arrive shortly” the guard answered.Max nodded.“Good.”He turned away from the chamber, his jaw tightening. He had another matter to handle and its name was Jack.Max had been suspicious of him from the moment the maid disa

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Behind The Door

    Becca sat quietly beside the window, but her mind was nowhere near the beautiful evening outside.She kept thinking about Tyler, his confession, the way he had looked at her when she asked him whether he had feelings for her. And, most importantly, the way she had struggled to answer when he asked if she felt anything for him.She couldn’t get the look of disappointment in his eyes when he had come to the healer’s chambers not too long ago to try and protect him because he was worried but she didn’t let him stay.A part of her didn’t regret that decision, especially considering her title and the fact that she wouldn’t allow her pride be tarnished by words from Eugene partaining to Becca cheating on him.But another part felt horrible for making Tyler feel bad when all he wanted to do was help.Becca closed her eyes."Why can't I stop thinking about this?" She wondered out loud and she hated that she didn't have an answer.She was Eugene's mate, she had just given birth to his child an

  • The Rejected Omega's Redemption    Kaelyn’s Offer

    The mansion had been unusually restless that evening. Voices echoed through the corridors, guards hurried from one side of the estate to another, and servants whispered among themselves whenever they thought no one was listening. The atmosphere was so different from the quiet routine everyone had grown accustomed to that Kaelyn couldn't help but notice.She sat near the window of her room with her baby resting safely in her arms while Ava carefully adjusted the blanket around him.Seraphina stood near the doorway, listening to the commotion outside."What is going on?" Kaelyn asked, glancing toward the hallway.Ava looked up."I've been hearing the same thing” she said.Seraphina frowned."Something must have happened."Another burst of voices came from downstairs and Kaelyn immediately became uneasy."Can someone find out what is happening?" She asked."I'll ask," Ava said.Before she could move, a guard appeared at the open doorway."My ladies."Seraphina immediately turned toward

    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

    The night held its breath.Torches burned along the stone walls of the hideout, their flames flickering violently as if even fire could sense the fury brewing between the Alphas standing face to face. The cold air was thick with tension, so thick it felt like it could be cut with a blade.Eugene s

    Becca walked quickly, not because she was afraid but because if she slowed down, she would start thinking and if that happened, she would start remembering Seraphina’s face in the garden.That cold, perfectly composed face twisted by fury mixed with her harsh words."You are nothing here."Becca’s
