Rejected Omega: The Lycan King's Obsession
I was an Omega married off to the powerful Gamma Ryker Blackwood to save my dwindling pack.
But on our wedding night, he threw me into the spare room, declaring our bond a mere political alliance.
He refused to mark me, leaving me to suffer through my agonizing heats with nothing but toxic suppressants.
I soon discovered his heart belonged to a powerful Alpha warrior named Jessa.
They openly humiliated me at pack events, mocking my unmarked status and telling me to initiate a rejection.
When I finally found the courage to leave, his mother threatened my family's survival if I didn't produce an heir.
That night, a drunken Ryker came home and used the forbidden Alpha Command on me.
"Kneel."
My knees crashed onto the cold marble floor, the dark magic breaking my will and tearing our sacred bond apart.
I was trapped in a gilded cage, abused by my fated mate, and forced to bear his cruelty for the sake of my people.
How could the Moon Goddess shackle me to a monster who would profane our bond just to show his dominance?
The next morning, a terrified Ryker woke up realizing he could be ruined by the council for using the Command.
I didn't scream or report him to the Alpha King.
Instead, I wiped away my tears, gave him a gentle smile, and pretended to forgive him.
He gave me a crumb of remorse, and I will use it to bake a loaf of revenge.

Alaric Thorne POV:
The following afternoon, duty forced me into a series of brief, necessary meetings. I was concluding a discussion with one of our pack Elders in the main corridor, the topic a minor border dispute with the vampire coven to the east, when I saw them.
Ryker was next on my schedule. He approached from the far end of the hall, and trailing a few respectful paces behind him was the Omega, Elara.
As he drew closer, I caught it again—the scent of chamomile. But on him, it was faint, a ghost of its true self. It was like a man wearing another’s cologne, a superficial fragrance that clung to his clothes but didn’t emanate from his core.
Faint, my wolf noted with a dissatisfied huff. Why is it so faint?
Ryker stopped before me, inclining his head in a show of respect. “Alpha King.”
Elara halted behind him, her eyes cast down, her entire posture designed to make her invisible. She failed spectacularly.
Because as my gaze drifted past Ryker’s shoulder and landed on her, the scent hit me like a physical blow. It wasn't faint. It wasn't a mere fragrance. It was a living, breathing tidal wave of pure chamomile, so potent it seemed to have a texture, a warmth that wrapped around my senses and squeezed. This was no secondhand aroma. This scent was pouring from her skin, from her blood, from the very essence of her being.
My mind went blank.
Every theory, every "logical" explanation I had constructed, shattered into a million pieces.
And my wolf, the ancient, primal Lycan soul that lived within me, let out a roar that deafened my thoughts. It was not a question. It was not a guess. It was a declaration, as old and certain as the moon itself.
HER! THE SCENT, IT'S HERS!
The realization struck me with the force of a lightning bolt. Shock, disbelief, and then a white-hot, all-consuming rage.
I had been a fool. Deceived not by some clever enemy, but by my own senses, my own arrogant assumptions. The scent that had called to my soul, the one I believed belonged to a mighty Alpha warrior fit to be my equal, belonged to the small, timid Omega he mistreated.
My eyes, burning with molten gold fury, snapped to Ryker. He stood there, preening in his stolen glory, wearing the faintest trace of her scent like a thief wears a stolen jewel. He was nothing but a fraud.
A wave of revulsion washed over me, so strong it was nauseating. Disgust for him, and for my own blindness. The pride of a king could not stomach such a colossal error in judgment.
Elara must have felt the intensity of my stare. She timidly lifted her head, her wide, doe-brown eyes meeting mine for a fraction of a second. The storm she saw there, the raw, untamed power I was struggling to contain, made her flinch. She immediately dropped her gaze, her body trembling.
I forced myself to look away from her, to refocus on the male who stood before me. The border dispute was a distant, meaningless memory. Everything had narrowed down to this single, infuriating point.
“Gamma Blackwood,” I said, my voice dropping to a low, glacial tone that promised violence.
Ryker stiffened, sensing the shift in the air. “Yes, Alpha King?”
I didn't look at him. My eyes were fixed on the cowering form behind him. My beast was thrashing, demanding I rip Ryker's throat out and claim what was mine. To keep from slaughtering my Gamma in the middle of the corridor, I had to get them away from me. I spoke each word with deliberate, chilling precision. “Keep your mate out of my sight, Blackwood. Take her and leave. Now.”
Both of them froze. Elara looked up, her face a canvas of confusion. Why would the great Alpha King even notice her existence, let alone speak of her with such… intensity? Ryker’s expression hardened, a flicker of fear flashing in his eyes before being replaced by guarded confusion. He had no idea what he had done to offend me, but he knew he was suddenly on very dangerous ground.
I gave them no more time. I turned to the guard beside me, my voice sharp and final. “My meetings are concluded.”
Then I turned and stalked away, leaving them standing in the corridor, shrouded in my cold fury and their own bewildered silence.

I am the biological daughter of the wealthy Fitzpatrick family, but I spent my childhood eating out of dumpsters.
When I was finally brought back to the estate at age seven, I thought I would experience my parents' love.
Instead, my biological parents looked at my dirty clothes with raw disgust. They only cared about Hallie, the fake daughter who lived like a princess.
The moment I walked in, Hallie hurled a heavy ceramic cup at my head, slicing my hand open.
"Get out of my house!"
My father didn't even look at the blood. He raised his hand to strike me, accusing me of bringing trailer park rules into his home.
In my past life, I dropped to my knees and begged for their forgiveness. I endured their abuse, hoping they would eventually love me.
But they let the maids humiliate me, let Hallie steal my identity, and eventually threw me back onto the streets to die. Even my playboy Uncle Byron, the only person who ever showed me mercy, was driven to suicide by them.
I didn't understand why my own flesh and blood hated me so much, or why a vicious liar deserved everything while I was treated like a jinx.
Opening my eyes again, I was back on the exact day I first returned to the estate.
As my father raised his hand to hit me, I didn't cower.
Instead, I looked at the family patriarch and pointed directly at my notorious, alcoholic uncle.
"I want him to be my new guardian."

The house was a living inferno, the heat devouring the air in my lungs as I clutched my five-year-old daughter to my chest. Emily was dead weight, her skin already cooling even as the room turned into a furnace of orange and black.
Through the stinging smoke, I saw my husband, Kenney, crawling toward the door with a wet handkerchief pressed to his face. He didn't look back at the crib, and he didn't call my name; he was simply leaving us to burn.
I lunged forward and grabbed his ankle, my nightgown catching fire, but he didn't reach down to save me. He recoiled in horror at the sight of my burning hair and our dead child, kicking me back with a panicked shriek.
"Let go!" he shrieked.
I died as a massive, flaming timber snapped from the ceiling and crushed us both into silence. I couldn't believe that the man I loved would leave his family to die just to save his own skin, but the rage I felt was colder than the death that followed.
But then the burning stopped instantly, replaced by a cold so sharp it made my teeth ache. I gasped, jerking upright in my bed to find the velvet duvet cool under my palms and the nursery quiet, with Emily still breathing softly in her crib.
I had returned to the winter morning two years before the fire, the exact day Kenney finalized the deal to sell me to the King for a promotion. As Kenney stepped into the room with a practiced mask of concern, I realized I was no longer the victim of this story.
"A nightmare, my love?" he asked, reaching out to touch my shoulder.
I flinched away, my eyes burning with a hatred he couldn't yet understand. Tonight was the Winter Masquerade, the night he planned to offer me to the King as a prize, but this time, I was going to turn his social ladder into a gallows.

Following twenty years away from home, Cathleen returned expecting family, but all she received was contempt.
Her parents sneered, "You may share our blood, but someone as exceptional as your sister is the only one fit to be our daughter."
Her brother scoffed, "Ashley is my only sister. Get out of here, you country bumpkin!"
Her so-called sister put on a sugary smile. "You won't mind if I borrow your fiancé, will you?"
Cathleen stayed unshaken and walked into a contract marriage with Matthew, who believed he had married a useless woman.
Then her masks fell one by one-divine doctor, underground boxing queen, elite hacker, phantom racer, AI genius, and powerful heiress. Even the comics his sister adored, and the only voice that could ever lull him to sleep, belonged to her.
Matthew pinned her wrists down, his dark gaze locking onto her. "Just how many secrets are you keeping from me?"
Cathleen flipped his hold, her smile calm. "The contract ends tomorrow. Remember to get the divorce."
He grinned, "Absolutely not. Not now, not ever."
