All Chapters of The Alpha's Rejected Omega: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

CassiusI could see the disappointment in his eyes the moment I made that verdict, but there was nothing else I could do. The only thing that made sense in this chaos was that we had to tread carefully, no matter how much it burned me inside. Still, what I didn’t like—what was clawing at my insides—was the way Julian had been taking my family for granted, as if they were pawns to be shifted around whenever it suited him.My jaw locked, and I forced the words out, steady but sharp. “Leave us,” I told the servants standing in the corner of the room. They scattered quickly, their footsteps echoing down the hall until the silence between us was heavy enough to choke on. My gaze locked on Julian. “You—come with me.”He obeyed, reluctantly, his shoulders stiff, like a man walking toward his own execution. I didn’t wait to see if he hesitated longer; I turned on my heel and led him down the corridor to my office.When we arrived, I dropped onto the couch and gestured at the empty cushion bes

CassiusI couldn’t help the low chuckle that slipped past my lips as I closed the office door behind me. The sound echoed faintly in the corridor, carrying a satisfaction that only I understood. Because I had seen him. Julian. Or rather, the pathetic excuse of his shadows lingering just around the corner, thinking he was subtle. He was never subtle. My shadows were trained, silent, faceless when I needed them to be. Julian’s… Julian’s were clumsy, too eager, betraying him at every turn.And the best part? Lorien had known. My clever, brilliant mate had called it before I even confirmed it. The very thought made warmth stir in my chest. He was sharp in ways people constantly underestimated, and tonight, he had proven once again that he could see through layers even I might have overlooked.Still smiling to myself, I pulled my phone from my pocket and scrolled through to the secured line. I didn’t waste time with pleasantries when the call connected. “Antoinette,” I said, my tone calm

Lorien I leaned back against the couch, running my fingers through my hair, trying to make sense of everything Cassius had just said. “No,” I said firmly, shaking my head. “What we need right now is not just brute force or last-minute strategies. Getting as many people by our side as possible is more important than anything else. If we go into this thinking we can carry the weight alone, we’ll fall before we even begin.”Cassius’s eyes hardened, his jaw tightening. “I don’t want him getting any more arrogant than he already is,” he muttered. His voice was low, sharp with the kind of frustration I’d learned to recognize.I frowned, tilting my head toward him. “What do you mean by that?”He didn’t answer right away. Instead, silence fell between us. His gaze shifted away, and I could see the wheels turning in his head, the reluctance, the old habit of carrying burdens on his shoulders without letting anyone else share them.Finally, Cassius said, “I can handle it. I just need your supp

CassiusI took a deep breath, forcing air into my lungs as though I could suffocate the fury churning inside me. My knuckles tightened around the edge of the glass cup in my hand, and only the sharp warning growl of my wolf kept me from shattering it into jagged fragments on the polished table.The elders’ war room smelled of wood polish, ink, and the faint trace of cigar smoke clinging to the old men’s robes. I had been here before countless times, but tonight, every corner of the chamber felt hostile, tainted. Not because of the elders—they were mine to command, mine to guide—but because of the man standing across from me.Julian.My Beta. My shadow. My betrayer.Even now, he had the gall to meet my eyes with that calm, polished smile of his, like nothing was wrong, like he hadn’t sunk his claws into every part of my life and poisoned it from the inside. My rage clawed at me, begging for release, but my father’s voice echoed in my head: Never lose yourself in front of wolves you mus

LorienI looked at the man that I had loved since I knew what that meant, even before I knew he was my mate, and felt like my heart was about to explode out of my chest. Goddess help me, the man was hot! He smirked at me as he slowly pulled the ropes around his abs away, flinging it to the floor."The kids...""...Are asleep, Lorien. Trust me, we wouldn’t be disturbed. I just want you, hm?" He said softly.If only he knew what those words were doing to my body. He striped off his clothes, leaving his inner pants on. They were pure white, but that was not what held my interest. It’s mostly the way that he was full. Cassius moved determinedly to me, and I moved back on the bed. He smirked as he placed his hands on either side of me, and then, he leaned in, using his teeth to undo my belt. "Please," I said softly, not knowing what I was begging for.His intense eyes looked right at me. "I have not even started yet, baby," he gushed.My body went redder and still he used just his teeth t
