All Chapters of Desperate Omega Seduces the Cold Enigma for his protection: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Kai's POV I watched Jax talking to the woman through the kitchen window. She was remarkably beautiful, tall, elegant, and polished, possessing everything that I lacked. She moved with the distinct kind of confidence that could only come from a lifetime of being told you were immensely important. Meanwhile, Jax looked completely tense with rigid shoulders and clenched fists at his sides, clearly unhappy to see her. Even so, the simple fact that he was talking to her at all brought a painful twist of jealousy to my stomach. I hated the feeling and hated how small it made me feel, but I simply couldn't help reacting to it. When Jax finally came back inside, I was standing in the middle of the kitchen, pretending to busy myself by organizing the counter. "Who was that?" I asked, trying and failing to sound casual. Jax closed the door behind him and leaned back against it as he replied, "Alpha Selene Voss." "Alpha?" I felt my stomach drop instantly. "She's an alpha?" "Yes, and

Kai's POV She appeared silently in the doorway while I was making tea, having slipped in like a ghost without making a single sound. "Kai," she said softly, her voice sounding smooth and pleasant. "I was hoping I'd find you alone." Turning around slowly, I clutched the warm mug tightly in my hands and asked, "What do you want?" "To talk," she replied as she stepped into the kitchen, her heels clicking sharply on the floor. "I think we got off on the wrong foot." I remained completely silent, simply watching her every move. She offered a smile that felt entirely empty and rehearsed. "I know you think I'm here to take Jax away from you, but that is not my intention." "Then what is your intention?" I pressed. As she moved closer, her sharp floral scent filled the air, making my head spin slightly from the intensity. "I'm here to help," she explained calmly. "Jax is powerful, but he is also isolated without any allies or political backing. If the council rules against him, he will

Knox's POV The ride back to my territory was long and bitter cold as Marcus's cruel words kept echoing through my head, repeating his desire to make Jax watch and see what happens to the people he loves. There was something deeply and fundamentally wrong with that man. He didn't just want to win a conflict; he wanted to destroy, break, and leave nothing behind but ashes. I had known that when I initially agreed to work with him, but now, sitting in the biting cold, I was starting to wonder if I had made a grave mistake. I couldn't help thinking about Kai, remembering the precise way he had looked at me when I took him from the Lunar Reavers, the deep fear in his eyes, and the way he had trembled under my touch. I had repeatedly told myself it was strictly about power, ownership, and possessing something that belonged to me, but it wasn't just about that anymore. I had been thinking about him more and more, no longer viewing him merely as a possession or a body to use, but as somet

Kai's POV I saw Selene leaving the shed with a look of utter satisfaction on her face, wearing a smug, contented smile that made me want to slap her. Although I didn't know exactly what she had said to Jax, I knew with absolute certainty that it couldn't be anything good. I waited until she completely disappeared into the surrounding trees before making my way toward the shed. Jax was standing inside staring blankly at something held in his hands, his expression looking distant and visibly troubled. "Jax?" I called out softly. He looked up, and for a fleeting second, something flickered deep in his eyes—a mix of doubt and suspicion. It was gone in an instant, but I had caught it clearly. Having learned to read people out of pure necessity over the years, reading subtle shifts in expression had become a vital survival skill for me, and what I just saw in his eyes made my stomach drop instantly. "What's wrong?" I asked. He remained silent for a moment before folding the pap

Jax's POV I returned from my patrol only to find Kai standing completely motionless in the center of the main room, staring blankly at the wall. He didn't turn around when I walked inside, nor did he acknowledge my presence in any way. "Kai?" I called out softly. There was no response from him. Crossing the room, I stood directly in front of him and noticed that his eyes were glassy and unfocused, making him look as though he were somewhere else entirely. "Kai," I said gently, reaching out to touch his cheek. "What happened?" He blinked rapidly as his gaze slowly refocused on me. "Selene was here," he stated, his voice sounding flat and utterly empty. Anger flared sharply in my chest at the mention of her name. "What did she say to you?" "She told me that I am holding you back," he confessed quietly. "She said you would be much better off with someone who could actually provide what you need, and she insisted that if I truly loved you, I would leave." I grabbed his shoulders
