All Chapters of The 7-time rejected omega: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ILYANA’S POVAny minute from now, my heart was going to explode out of my chest. I was nervous, anxious, jumpy—every single thing I could think of all at once. I paced around the room, repeating the plan over and over in my head. Tina would get the alpha king. I’d welcome him, take him to the small dinner table we prepared, make sure he eats, and then fully seduce him and take charge of the room. I was dressed in a flimsy seduction piece, a robe tied tight around me. It was similar to what Lucienne wore the last time I saw her.Atasha’s words rang in my head, “Men are like children, dumb, stupid. Show them that you can put them to work, and they’ll bow immediately.”But how true was that? Would the alpha king really fall for this?All my life, I’d been rejected by all my mates. Maybe it wasn’t even their fault. Maybe it was mine. I had thought being silent, taking everything, not fighting back was the right thing to do—but maybe I needed to do more. I had to take back what was mine, l

ILYANA.
I didn’t know how or when I fell asleep. Every part of me throbbed with a pain I enjoyed, a lingering ache that wrapped around my body like a memory I didn’t want to forget. The last thing I remembered was coming undone in the alpha’s arms as he held me tightly.
I opened my eyes to see him fully dressed, his eyes already on me.
“You’re awake,” he said as our eyes met.
“My lord…”
A deep frown pinched the middle of his forehead. “My lord?” he scoffed, a hint of disbelief in his tone. “You didn’t seem to remember that when you were in my arms, begging and thrashing.”
My cheeks flushed with embarrassment as every word from last night came rushing back into my mind. I had been bold…braver than I had ever been, pushing myself to the edge of something unfamiliar.
“I…”
“The next time you call me my lord, I’ll have to punish you more,” he continued, his voice dropping into something darker, more dangerous. “Even more than last night.”
I looked down at the bed, my legs clenching unconsci

ILYANA’S POVI was outside of the pack house, ready to leave with both Misha and Tina, when we saw someone running towards us, yelling for us to wait.“Is that the beta?” Tina was the first to notice.I squinted, trying to see clearly, and recognized Carius running towards us. He was panting heavily by the time he reached us, stopping right in front of me.“My lady…” he said between breaths, “the alpha has requested your presence.”“Ooooohhhh,” Misha teased, eying me suspiciously.“Why would he call you again? Is there something you’re not telling us?” Tina snapped, and I met her gaze to see a frown forming on her face.I shook my head, shocked by her sudden reaction. “I have no idea.” I turned to Carius. “Is there a problem?”He simply shrugged. “I have no idea. He asked me to bring you now. Immediately.”I bid both Tina and Misha goodbye before following the beta, my mind spinning with thoughts of what this could mean.Different possibilities swirled in my head, but I couldn’t settl

ILYANA.“Your highness….”The minute I said it, Selene shot up from where she had collapsed, her voice rising sharply as though she had just been handed the perfect opportunity.“Your highness, thank goddess you’re here,” she hissed out, breathless and urgent.She quickly smoothed down her dress, her hands moving over the fabric in a rushed attempt to regain composure before pointing directly at me, her head darting between me and the alpha king.“This omega disrespected me. I’m not sure you saw everything, but she pushed me to the floor!”She turned fully to Kael, and just like that, her tone shifted. The sharpness melted away, replaced with something softer, controlled, almost pleading.“I want you to punish her for me. I’m Alpha Theo’s mate, Luna of his pack. On behalf of the pack, please punish her.”I said nothing. I didn’t bother pointing out the sudden change in her voice, how easily she slipped from venom to sweetness depending on who she was speaking to.She stepped closer to

KAEL’S POV.“What you wanted to show me is this? A stream?” Ilyana asked, scoffing lightly as she slowly walked to the edge and looked down.We were deep in the forest, standing on a rock that dropped into a stream below, only reachable by jumping. Ilyana was different now, and my wolf gnawed restlessly inside of me. She spoke more freely now, met my gaze without hesitation, even hissed at me in the car earlier, and I found myself wanting more of it, more of her in ways I shouldn’t.“It’s not just any stream. It’s a safe haven,” I replied, watching as she rolled her eyes, and I realized I could drown just watching her do that.“Do you know how to swim?”“Swim?” Her eyes widened as she turned to me, disbelief flashing across her face. “Like in that water?”“Of course in the water,” I chuckled before rolling my eyes. “Just jump in, don’t worry.”Her eyes widened further, shock turning almost frantic as she tried to process my words. “What do you mean—”Before she could finish, I pushed
