All Chapters of An Omega Reborn in Blood: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

SERAPHINAI stood paralyzed with shock, unable to move or do anything at all. My jaw was clenched so tight my teeth ached. Lance stared at me, his forest green eyes widening as the mate bond snapped into place for him, too. Almost immediately, his lips curved into a smile as he took a slow step toward me.I knew what was coming next. I needed no soothsayer to tell me. He was going to draw his weapon and carry out his father's orders. He was going to kill me or chain me up like a dog to take me back to Malakai for the final execution. ‘You should run.’ A logical part of me roared inside my head, but I couldn't move my legs. It was like I was glued to the spot.I flinched, closing my eyes tightly as I watched him suddenly draw his long steel sword from his hip. I braced myself for the cold steel to pierce my chest and claim my life. I waited for the impact, accepting that my end had finally come.At least I'll get to see my mother again. There was no zeal to live anymore. Not when any

SERAPHINAI couldn't even tell how many days or weeks I had been trapped in this house. My whole world became four walls and a small yard. Lance kept every single thing in my life under his total control. He decided when I woke up, what clothes I wore, and when I was allowed to eat. He even controlled my movement.Thankfully, he unchained my wrists from the bed after the third day, but it didn't mean I was free. In fact, I can't really say there was a difference between the time I was chained and now I wasn't. The front door was always locked from the outside. The barred windows stayed closed tight.Sometimes, if he felt like it, Lance would take me outside into the small yard behind the house. But he never left my side for even one second. He stood right behind me, watching every step I took like a hawk.Beyond the wooden fence of the property, there was nothing but thick, dark woods and rough terrain that I had never seen before in my life. I didn't know where I was. I didn't kno

SERAPHINAThe next morning, I woke up early. My chest felt tight with a bad feeling.I sat on the edge of my bed and waited, wondering what Lance meant when he said he was going to bring company to the house. I thought maybe he was bringing Beta Harold, or some high-ranking pack warriors to watch over me. But above all, I had prepared my mind for the worst.Around mid-morning, I heard the sound of footsteps and laughing coming from the living room.I stood up, walked to my bedroom door, and pushed it open slightly to peep out.Lance was standing in the middle of the room. But he wasn't with guards or pack elders like I'd expected. Instead, he was with a young, pretty woman with long dark hair. She was wearing a tight dress, laughing at something Lance said, and holding onto his arm like they were lovers. I frowned, leaning against the doorframe. I didn't understand what was going on. Why was he bringing a random woman to this hidden house? Was he trying to show off? Was he trying

SERAPHINA A bitter laugh burst out of my mouth. "Tell them?”“Yes.” She nodded. “You should have told them about it.”I rolled my eyes. Deep down, I found myself wondering if she was okay because why would she ask that? Who would believe me over him?“Come on, I was a poor Omega with no family power and no allies. Harold was the Beta of the pack, a powerful man with guards and money.” I paused to stare at her. “Tell me. Who do you think they would have believed? An Omega girl or a powerful leader? They would have killed me on the spot for even trying to speak his name. So yes, that's my why,”Herrera stayed silent, her eyes filled with deep horror as the full picture of my nightmare finally clicked in her mind."And Lance..." she said slowly. "If Lance is your fated mate... why do you fight him so hard? Why do you refuse to accept him?"“Because Lance is Harold's son!” I snapped, my voice rising slightly before I caught myself and lowered it again. I already made a vow that I won't

SERAPHINA My heart jumped into my throat. "What happened? What did he say?""He noticed that you don't flinch as hard when I walk past your door anymore," Herrera said, her hands trembling as she smoothed down her dress. "Yesterday, after I left the kitchen, he asked if we had been talking when he wasn't looking.""What did you tell him?" I asked, stepping close to her."I lied," she breathed, wiping a bead of sweat from her forehead. "I told him I was just looking at the carved wooden trim on the doorframe because I had never seen craftsmanship like that before. I made up a story about how my brother used to carve wood. He seemed to buy it, but he stared at me for a long time before he let it go."She looked at me, her eyes filled with seriousness. "If Lance realizes I'm helping you, he will stop letting me come to this house," Herrera warned softly. "Or worse... he might lock me up right alongside you. If he finds out how close we've become, our lives will become too dangerous."T
