All Chapters of The Omega The Alpha Couldn't Kill: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The redhead was on her knees between Riven's thighs when Fin entered.Riven didn't stop or look up. His hand moved through her hair with the absent rhythm of a man petting something that required no thought.His mother Velora sat across from him. She looked up and smiled, gracious, as if her son wasn't being pleasured three feet from her."Alpha Shadowclaw." She gestured to an armchair. "Please, sit."Fin crossed the room and sat without breaking stride, his face giving nothing away.He settled into a chair. Colonel Sterling stood along the wall behind him, one shoulder against the stone, arms folded.Sterling: I have served your father for thirty years and I have never once walked into a negotiation and seen this.Fin: Noted.An omega handed Fin a drink, which he accepted. "We'll speak plainly."Riven looked up then and held Fin's gaze with unbothered confidence.His fingers pressed down once on the back of her head, guiding her deeper, then reached for his whiskey with the same hand.

"Three days. You told me two.""I'm aware of the calendar, thank you."Nova felt a tingle sensation on her face. She was somewhere in between awake and asleep. Then a scent hit her. It reminded her of rain on rock and the forest, with something close to eucalyptus. Strong enough that she started to become more aware."Still running a fever. Her chances of survival when Jax dropped her off were around fifty percent. So you are aware, her chances have increased to eighty.""That changes to one hundred percent. Immediately.""You can glare at me all you want, Alpha. But it's not up to me. It's up to her. How in the seven hells you found her before she died is the mystery. Aeron said she had maybe minutes left on the clock when he healed her.""He said what? When?""Ask him if he didn't mention it. Not me. And for the record, I've never seen silver poisoning to this degree before. This was repeated exposure over years."There was a pause, followed by the scrape of a chair right next to her

Riven Ashbane slammed the chamber door shut behind him, the sound reverberating down the empty corridor.He poured himself a scotch."FUCK!"Shadowclaw had taken her. Nova. His Nova.The only thing his worthless father had ever given him that he actually wanted. And Fin Shadowclaw had walked out with her like she was a goddamn bargaining chip.And his mother let it happen.He threw his drink into the fire. Crystal shattered in the flames.He needed it tonight. The ritual that reminded him she was his.There was a knock at his door."Enter."The door opened.A woman stepped inside, dropping her dress to the floor. Her blonde hair fell over bare shoulders. The wrong shade. But close enough.She moved to the bed, cuffs in hand. Riven closed the distance in three strides. He locked both wrists to the tall post at the foot of the bed. She tested the chains once, letting them rattle, then smiled."The usual tonight? Or do you want the crying version first?""Say it," he bit out, fisting h

"Intercepted. Heading east."Fin took the scroll from Colonel Sterling. His eyes narrowed as he read, lips pressing into a hard line.He handed the letter to Jax without a word.Jax's eyes flicked quickly over the words. "Lying little snake.""What happened?""Meredith dismissed her guards and assaulted Nova. Nova didn't fight back. Elder Norrin was right outside the door and heard.""Was she provoked?" Fin asked, almost in disbelief."No." Jax's voice was rough with contained fury."She said she hoped Nova was raped by every warrior here, that she'd die screaming. Called her mother a whore.
