All Chapters of The Rogue Omega: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ryker's POVI’d never been the kind of shifter who enjoyed sweets.Growing up, my brothers would devour every dessert our chef made, while I was usually happy with the main meal. But the moment I caught my mate’s scent across the council chamber, I started craving chocolate and honey in a way that was driving me completely insane.Being trapped inside that elevator with her, surrounded by her sweet scent, was enough to bring any shifter to their knees.Not that I’d ever knelt for anyone before, but fuck... for just a taste of Aria, I might be willing to make an exception.I followed her to the first floor of my building, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction because she’d agreed to live with us.That feeling was quickly followed by irritation when I had to let her leave and go back to her friend.I wanted to claim her.I wanted to pull her back upstairs, tear away her clothes, and lose myself in my mate.I wanted to complete our scent-matched bond with my bite.The need was primal.It

When I walked out of his office, Ryker stayed behind me like a silent shadow all the way to the first floor. He didn’t come over to where Cora was waiting near the couches, but I could feel his eyes on me the entire time. Even after I left the building, it felt like his gaze was still burning into my back.“I’m guessing you didn’t end up on the floor with the rentals and job listings,” Cora whispered as we hurried down the stairs.“Not unless that’s somehow part of the CEO’s job description,” I replied dryly.Cora’s shoulders sagged as she let out a sigh.“I’m really sorry. It’s hard to avoid your pack in Shadow Crest, and I thought it would be easier if you dealt with them directly. But I never expected you’d get pulled straight into Alpha Ryker’s office.”She was starting to fidget, so I decided to put her mind at ease.“It’s not your fault. Ryker and I came to an agreement that I’m okay with.” Ugh. “You don’t need to feel guilty. Everything your pack has done for me means a lot.”S

By the time I came out of the bathroom clean, dressed, and mostly settled, Orion had already packed everything.“Just grab your bathroom stuff and we’re ready to go,” he said.He was standing beside four brand-new suitcases that definitely didn’t belong to me.“Where did those come from?” I asked, staring at the matching gold and pink luggage.Orion gave me a sheepish smile and ran a hand through his blond hair, leaving it perfectly messy.“I bought them for you. I figured you might need some luggage, and these...” He glanced at the bags. “...matched your hair.”The last few words came out quietly as his cheeks turned pink.Damn this alpha.He was thoughtful. He was sweet. And there was no way I was going to be the jerk who ruined such a kind gesture.“Thank you, Orion.”I somehow managed to keep my voice steady.“But you really don’t need to buy things for me. I promise. I’m very low maintenance.”His eyes dropped to the suitcases.“I’m starting to notice that. I only filled about on

Inside the pack mansion—and honestly, calling it a house felt ridiculous—it looked exactly how I imagined it would.Everything was open, bright, and filled with natural light.Oddly enough, the furniture reminded me of the Ravencrest Pack house.It was expensive but comfortable.Everything looked cozy and oversized, which made sense when four huge alphas lived here.But none of it felt like some fancy display home.People actually lived here.And somehow, I hadn’t expected it to feel so... comfortable.“We gave you a room on the second floor near me and Cole,” Orion said as he carried the suitcases upstairs.He tossed me a quick smile.I was only carrying my toiletry bag, and even then he kept looking at it like he was trying to figure out how to carry that too.“Silas and Ryker are on the third floor. Silas has the biggest space, and if you take one piece of advice about living here, make it this—never go into his room unless he invites you. He doesn’t let any of us enter his territo

Cole’s POVWhen I slammed my locker door shut, I heard voices drifting in from the hallway outside.The rest of the team was finally showing up.I was always the first one to arrive for practice.I liked having the ice to myself while it was still smooth and untouched.The others could show up later, talk trash, and waste time.I preferred skating.Putting on my skates and flying across that perfect surface was the best therapy I'd ever found.It has been helping me ever since I was a kid.And today, I needed that escape more than ever.The omega was moving into our pack house.The same omega who rejected our pack before she even gave us a chance.I hadn't officially met her yet, but I'd seen her briefly when she showed up at our company offices.Long legs.Strawberry-blond hair.She was beautiful.And completely fucking toxic.For years I'd wanted a complete quintet.A complete family.Now, I mostly wanted her gone.She smelled like sweet chocolate.The moment I saw her, I almost los
