All Chapters of The Omega The Alpha Couldn't Kill: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

If Alpha Balen mentioned his unmated son one more time, Jax was going to do something that required a formal apology and possibly extradition.The unmated son wasn't the issue. It was a weird thing to say, sure, but that was fine. No, Jax's problem was the fact that Balen kept looking at his mate like she was available for the taking. She wasn't.When Grant asked for a word, Jax said yes, but was fully prepared to shut it down if her name was brought up.They stepped onto the balcony, and the cold was biting. If nothing else, the frost in the air might put a cap on this conversation."I just wanted to apologize," Grant said immediately, rubbing the back of his neck. "For the way my father's been ... speaking to Nova. I'm not trying to take her from you. When I asked about her, I didn't realize she was yours."Jax was surprised by the sincerity. "I appreciate you saying it to my face. That goes further than you think." He leaned against the railing, arms crossed, his tone easy. "Nova

The pain came without warning.Pressure in her chest, and a tearing sensation, like her soul was being unthreaded from something one fiber at a time.Across the ballroom, Fin's hand flew to his sternum at the phantom sensation. An avalanche of heartbreak followed the physical pain, causing him to drop his drink. Then resolve so fierce it nearly buckled his knees. What...? What was she about to do?The orchestra started playing again. Nova turned and disappeared into the sea of bodies, slipping out into the corridor. Jax stood frozen for one second, then realized she had let go of his hand and was gone. "Nova. Wait." He went after her, shoving past anyone in his path without apology, heart hammering."Nova!"She didn't stop.Fin pushed his way through the crowd, his wolf clawing at his ribcage. He had to reach her. As soon as he reached the hall, he broke out into a full-on sprint, Alpha speed, following her scent. He turned a corner, and the sight that greeted him stopped his he

They'd been together since they were in diapers. He was more than a best friend. Jax was a brother. But Fin had done the math, and it didn't look good.Jax stepped onto the balcony, still in his formal suit, dark hair ruffled like he'd been dragging his hand through it too often.Fin's knuckles went white on the stone railing. "Thanks for meeting me. I promise I won't keep you from Marra for long."Jax's mouth pulled into something that wasn't quite a smile. "You don't summon me to the east wing past midnight for short conversations, Fin."He looked out across the snow-dusted grounds. "Nova never should've had to make that choice."Fin went still."I keep asking myself how this happened," Jax went on. "How I love someone that deeply, and the matebond wasn't fated. But then the Moon Goddess sends me a second chance mate, now, like that's supposed to mean anything to me.""You don't feel it?" Fin asked carefully."I feel a matebond," Jax admitted. "I'm trying to do the right thing. Ma

"What you did yesterday? That was the most badass thing I've ever seen. And I've seen you shoot arrows and recite the entire war strategy archives like you were born in a military tent."Nova let out a raspy laugh. "Heartbreak is significantly less fun."A single tear slipped down her face, and Fin brushed it away. His thumb lingered on her cheek a second longer than it needed to before he pulled back."There's something I need to tell you. Something overdue." His tone shifted, growing more serious. "There's a reason you're here. Why you're in my bed. Why you've been in my heart this whole time."Her eyes widened."When I found you in the tower, it wasn't just a scent I couldn't shake. It was a bond. A calling. I tried to pretend it wasn't real because I was betrothed to Meredith, because duty and honor and alliances told me I couldn't have you."His voice broke slightly. "But I knew. I knew you were my mate.""I assigned you to the omega quarters to keep my distance. I told myself tha

Five times. That's how many times Elle had to stop with Nova to get her to breathe. Nova was clearly not okay. Ell tried to mindlink Cael, but she wasn't able to get through.That was the first sign. The second sign was the smell of smoke in the air when there shouldn't have been any.When they reached the ridge, both froze at the sight.Below them, in the clearing, at least fifty pups were huddled together, wrists bound by rope. Masked warriors encircled them. In the center, a single masked figure stood, dark magic leaking from his body. He was calling out orders, and Nova recognized the voice instantly. The one who almost killed Fin and sucked her blood. Because of course he would show up here on the day she was having a meltdown.A crumpled note lay near their boots. Unbeknownst to either, it was delivered to the castle minutes earlier:TURN IN THE WHITE WOLFONE PUP DIES EVERY HOUR YOU WAITTHE CLOCK HAS STARTEDElle's throat tightened. "They think you will surrender."Adrenali
