“You see this mark over here? This is what I want you to heal. Can you do that?”***Brianna studied the mark delicately, her hand tracing its complex design. “The torn rose,” she murmured, her voice barely a whisper as she stares at designs that hold both beautiful and dangerous sight. Torn rose, or should she say a beautiful death was a symbol that always appears on the rogue or Omega when they are dying or dead. Growing up poor, Brianna always saw this mark whenever she encountered a dying rogue on the street. As an innocent kid back then, Brianna always thought that the symbol looked beautiful, and held a lovely meaning as it always appeared in a fairy tale book. She even used to draw one on her hand, when she saw it appear on her friends and her mother, of course, was very angry when she found it, and immediately asked her to erase it.Brianna never know, why her mother seemed to hate that symbol so much. Whenever she try to ask, her mother always told her to wait until she g

—THE NEXT DAY—The next day arrived with a gentle glow slipping through the curtains that illuminated Brianna's now new bedroom. The Omega, still groggy from the last night's ordeal, stirred in her bed. Her body felt surprisingly stiff as she strained her body, reminding her of the exertion she had put into healing the Alpha last night.“This stiff feeling was worse than being told to dance 12 hours a day without warmup. But at least, I sleep on a good mattress in the guest room. I can’t imagine how stiff my body is if I’m still sleeping on the basement floor,” she mused as she continued straining her body.Then after a good 5 minutes of warm-up, Brianna lazily rolled on her side, looking at the clock near her bedside. The clockwise struck at 8 a.m. which meant, it was already time for her to get up and prepare herself to go to another wedding preparations.Groaning slightly, Brianna rolled to her other side and slowly got up from the bed, mindful of her pregnant stomach. After she w

Brianna felt an unfamiliar warmth in her hand as she walked hand in hand with Jack through the enchanting wedding venue. The Alpha's protective gestures were still foreign to her, especially considering their complicated history, and she couldn't help but glance at their intertwined fingers, finding it hard to believe that the once disdainful Alpha was now so caring. As they strolled through the venue, Jack's unexpected concern for Brianna's well-being became more evident. Despite carefully calculating every one of their steps to avoid slippery patches, the Alpha was shown concern about her pregnant belly, by holding it while stepping into some tiny puddle, and when she accidentally stumbled… The Alpha was quick to catch her, making Brianna's heart raced at the unexpected tenderness, and it was definitely making her have hard time reminding herself that it wasn't out of affection but rather a safeguard for her identity as the chosen one. “He’s not doing it because he loves you. He’

Do you two know each other?***Brianna's mind raced as Nina Smith's question hung in the air, the weight of each word pushing Brianna to be cautious with her response. She couldn't risk divulging information that might jeopardize her already bad situation, especially knowing that the Beta holds the title of Reverie’s gossip queen.“Ugh… Of all of the people, why did I have to bump into her?” Brianna mused, forcing a smile to hide her turmoil as she glanced at the eager beta in front of her.Nina Smith, despite being Sam's daughter, was vastly different from her father. While Sam Smith was a stern and authoritative, father figure for Brianna, Nina on the other hand, was acting like a rival to her.Brianna didn’t know if Nina just did that to show that she was more competent than her, or if she just did that because she purely hated her, but whatever it was, it's making Brianna’s life that already hard became harder. Behind her father's back, Nina always has a high nose and treats Bri

After fixing some lace, and some other part of the gown, Joan and her assistant took a step back. Her critical eyes assess every detail of Brianna's gown before giving some approving nod. “Yes, I think the gown is already good enough, and seizes your size perfectly. Now, I will be going to check on the groom. Please wait here for a while, and you can sit over there carefully.”“Alright.”With that, Joan excused herself along with her assistants, and after Brianna was alone, the Omega peeked behind the curtain before walking back to the mirror, continuing to admire her gown.“This dress is seriously beautiful…Is it really a rental gown?” Brianna mused, touching the gown carefully. “It kinda reminds me of Odette’s gown but a longer version. It even managed to hide the small bump carefully as if it’s already planned thoughtfully… Is Jack perhaps telling the designer?”Brianna mused gently, placing a hand on her abdomen where a hidden corset was placed to hide her pregnancy. It even help
