AN OMEGA'S REVENGE 110 - Her Other Half
The closer Derek got to the shack, the more confused he grew. What had Belinda been doing in the middle of the woods in a whole other state, that she'd needed him to pick her up by 5 in the morning? The old building looked like it could fall apart any minute, with its rotting wooden walls and algae-covered roof. The yard in front of the cottage was overgrown with weeds, and many of the steps leading up to the porch were missing. The only indication that the house wasn't abandoned was the clean window panes and functioning fence. Derek pushed the rusting gate, which swung open on its own. Someone must have been expecting him, because before he reached the cottage, the front door swung open. A woman in a threadbare grey sweater stood at the doorway, her arms wrapped around her torso. Her blond hair fell past her shoulders, and her thin lips were pressed together, displaying her uncertainty. Derek's pupils dilated on sniffing her scent—the tangy smell of magic. The woman wasn't just hum

The cold wind blew through the forest, rustling leaves and swinging branches. Maddox loved the outdoors at this time of the morning. There was just something about the teeming nature, the disconnect from the rest of the world, that appealed to his senses. Of course, the woods lost its charm once the day broke fully and the sun was hot, annoying critters yapping away the peace. He wondered how anyone could live here, but then again, he doubted the woman in the rundown cottage was living in the best conditions. Propping a hand in his trousers pocket, Maddox knocked on the cottage's door. He heard a bustle inside, footsteps shuffling before the door swung open. On sighting the pale face, he set his lips into a wide grin. "Hello, Matilda dear."Tilly's eyes widened, as all the color flushed from her cheeks. It felt as though a boulder had slammed into her, knocking all the air out of her lungs. Her mind screamed at her to run away, but her feet stayed rooted to a place. She couldn't

At Belinda's request, Derek dropped her in front of the Lycan's residence on the afternoon of the first day. He'd objected at first, saying she needed more time to herself, but she'd assured him she was alright. It was a lie of course, but she'd left yesterday without telling anyone where she was going. She was certain people were looking for her, and she didn't want to be in more trouble with the Lycan than she already was. Unable to change her mind, Derek had bought her real crutches, and she winced at having to use those to walk into the skyscraper. That would surely raise eyebrows, but then again, what choice did she have? True to her predictions, every head on the ground floor of the Lycan's building turned to her as she limped through the front door. They were surprised to see her coming to them, especially as most of them had busted their backs looking for her. Even more surprising, was that she was in one piece, granted her leg didn't look so good. Some had assumed she'd run

As the Lycan walked into the building, the people he crossed bowed respectfully to him. He didn't acknowledge their greeting, but they didn't mind because he didn't have to acknowledge them. And he never did, anyway. His features expressionless, Draven entered the private elevator with his beta at his side. The two rode up in silence, and at the floor of his luxury apartment, Cantor got off. Draven continued up to the penthouse. Although he knew his mistress was present, he didn't go to see her immediately, but rather headed to his own room. He had had a stressful trip, and was glad to be back in the comfort of his home. Gathering the cutthroats and criminals of the American continents who fancied themselves mafia bosses had never been a thing he enjoyed, but it was his duty to control them. None, aside from the werewolves among the bunch, knew he was a Lycan. However, they did know that he was far more dangerous than they were, and that was enough to keep them from making too much t

Paul peered out of his car's window at the people in front of his company, walking in circles with placards raised over their hands heads. He listened as they yelled at the top of their voices, "Justice for the common people. Accountability for the rich", gnashing his teeth at their insolence. Really, who did they think they were to criticize him? They were a race beneath him, a demographic that could never measure up to his kind. If not for the Lycan's rule that had marked humans as untouchable, he would have slaughtered them all. "I think it's best we use the back entrance today, sir." Paul's driver cautiously glanced back at his boss. His suggestion got him a vicious glare from Paul. "This is my company." He snarled. "And I will use the entrance I want to use." Turning back to the road, the driver exhaled a frustrated breath through his lips. This was obviously a bad idea, but he couldn't as well disobey his boss. Pushing the horn to announce the car's presence, he slowly ed

Lila pulled up in front of the high-rise building where Derek's apartment was located in her sports car, which she'd insisted Paul buy for her. It would never hurt his pockets, anyway—at least that had been the case back then. She was dressed sexily, in a skin-tight print dress and knee-length heeled boots. Rather than the elevator, she took the stairs on entering the building, because she still had some pent-up energy to burn off. She used the time spent climbing to remind herself to quit being affected by her fiancé's harsh nature. Hers would never be a happy marriage, she might as well get used to it. On reaching the door to Derek's apartment, Lila rang the bell and waited. No one answered the door, causing her to ring it again. This time, she pressed her ear to the door and listened. She heard no movement inside, which told her no one was home. Her lips spreading into a satisfied smile, Lila reached into her purse, and fished out a key. If the dear beta of the Chicago Pack knew

Lexie had had many surprises in her life, but none like this one. Due to circumstances she never would have predicted, she had met the Lycan, and had even managed to become closely knit with his pack. That was a feat very few below the alpha status rarely accomplished, much less an omega. However, she'd never spoken to the king of werewolves one on one before. And she most definitely had never been summoned by him before now. Therefore, Lexie couldn't help feeling nervous as she entered the home office in the penthouse suite. Who was she kidding? She was terrified! Thanks to the nerves rattling her insides and twisting her organs, she somehow managed to mess up a bow. Her ankles hooking, she stumbled on her feet, causing the Lycan to look up from his work and raise an eyebrow. "Good day, my lord." Her cheeks were scarlet red as she faced the ground. Draven stared blankly at the werewolf in front of him. The girl resembled a frightened little mouse being forced to give in to a p

Belinda only got out of bed because she was thirsty, after going the entire day without water. Her throat was dry and scratchy, and her head ached at the temples. As she walked, she felt dizzy, as she hadn't moved this much distance in a while. She was drinking a warm glass of water in the kitchen when she noticed the light coming from the Lycan's study. He was still up? It was 3 in the morning. Impulsively, she headed towards the light, gently pushing open the ajar door. Draven sat inside the room, his back relaxed on his chair and his legs spread wide under the desk. His gaze locked instantly with Belinda's, because he'd heard her leave her bedroom and had waited for her to come. Belinda found the Lycan's hard expression startling, especially since he'd been extra soft towards her these past few days. Still, she pushed down the feeling and stated, "You're awake." Belinda wasn't sure exactly how she'd wanted the Lycan to reply to that, but she certainly hadn't expected him to say,

AN OMEGA'S REVENGE 141 - Mine And Forever
Belinda gasped as the Lycan took her lips in a violent kiss. He kissed her roughly and persistently, never affording her the time to breathe. When he nipped her lower lip, a breathy sigh escaped her, and he took that opportunity to plunge his tongue into her mouth. Their tongues met in a passionate dance, stroking, caressing, and curling against each other. Till now, Belinda hadn't realized how much she missed the taste of him. She loved it when he was like this—when he kissed her till everything else faded away. Automatically, her body reacted, her back curving so her chest met his. His biceps flexed as supported his body over as, so as not to crush her with his far greater weight. Her fingers found the bunched muscles, her nails scratching down his arms. A deep guttural growl reverberated through Draven's chest at the possessive action. He felt as though his muscles were on the verge of breaking, especially the swollen one between his legs. He couldn't remember the last time he'd
AN OMEGA'S REVENGE 140 - Outside Reality
For the next few days, Belinda and Draven stayed with each other, doing nothing in particular, never leaving the penthouse. Draven had made it clear he did not wish to be disturbed—on any grounds—so no one breached his privacy, even to discuss business. Food was brought up to them, and when they were done eating, the plates were taken away. During that period, they spent most of their time in the bedroom. Mostly, they were silent, cuddling under the covers of the large bed. They could go that way for hours, never saying a word, because the silence was comfortable, and just being in each other's presence was enough. Sometimes, they talked. The topics were usually light, enough to make Belinda giggle and draw a smile from Draven. Occasionally, they addressed more somber issues. Like the dark years that had seen the Sorcerer Clan war, and what it had been like for him to live so long, watching everyone else die and new people be born. They never discussed anything important. Not once d
AN OMEGA'S REVENGE 139 - Once Before
Draven held Belinda close to himself, providing her comfort with his mere presence. He let her cuddle into him, waited till she stopped trembling, and eased into him. On the outside, he appeared calm and collected—powerful. On the inside though, his mind was whirling with questions, like for one... Why did Belinda smell strangely identical to Eudora? That had been the only difference. The one thing that had differentiated his mistress from the love of his life had been their distinct scents. However, as he'd made his way to Belinda, a burst of magic had exploded, the very same moment the scent he'd been following changed. He'd witnessed as the very scent that marked Belinda morphed, mixing with a subtle fragrance that turned her into someone entirely different. Someone who smelled like his Eudora. Her wolf had awakened, that much Draven could tell. Even in his arms, she still retained her werewolf form, her claws and fangs refusing to retract. But that didn't explain the electrifyin
AN OMEGA'S REVENGE 138 - A Blinding Light
The cold concrete came in contact with Belinda's palms and despite her feeble resistance, it pushed them backward, towards her chest. She gasped when there was nowhere left for her hands to go, the wall now touching her breasts. The pressure on her chest grew insistent, suffocating her lungs and making it hard to breathe. A strangled cry escaped her when a sharp pain shot through her, torching all her nerve endings. She heard the bones break, felt her ribs pierce her flesh. This was it, then, she thought. She really was going to die. Tears welled up deep inside Belinda, fighting to flow down her cheeks. Closing her eyes, she gave herself up to her fate. Despite going back in time, despite doing it all over again, she still died at the hands of her family. Even when given a second chance, she still lived a pathetic life. Derek was having a hard time looking for Belinda. He was beginning to wonder if hiding his scent was worth it, because he could hardly smell anything with the perfum
AN OMEGA'S REVENGE 137 - A Bloody Fool
Paul stood in the foyer of the mansion, feeling smug and confident in his own capabilities. He'd taken care of the root of his problems, snipped his troublesome sister right in the bud. Now, all that was left was to replenish his lost wealth. Ideas ran through his head. Yes, he could do that. By the end of the year, he would be out of bankruptcy, stable enough to chase more profitable business ventures. And in five years' time, he would have made enough to be counted as Chicago's youngest and richest billionaire once again. He was still daydreaming about his future riches when a henchman ran into the foyer. He, and the two guards at his sides, turned to face the man who had just entered the room. The man's anxious expression caught their attention, as they wondered what could make a grown man lose his cool that much. They didn't have to wait long to get an answer. "Sir, we've been compromised." The henchman panted, indicating that he'd run here. "The house is surrounded."Paul f
AN OMEGA'S REVENGE 136 -The Squisher
Belinda strained to see in the darkness, the only source of light being the small crack where the two walls met. Feeling the cold concrete, she searched for a way out, maybe a secret lever hidden on the inside. She found none, and not surprisingly. She suspected that the space had been designed to keep people in, not let them out. Giving up for the time being, she directed her gaze to the room. She already knew it was empty, from the time Paul had opened it. It was windowless, empty, and very small. Not for the first time, she wondered what it was for. The large smudges on both walls caught her eye. Squinting, she peered at one. The stain spanned most of the wall, several shades darker than the unpainted concrete. Belinda placed her hands on it and immediately recoiled. It had felt disgusting under her palms, its raised surface rough and dry. What had been smeared on these walls? The question was added to her long list about this place. As if to reply, a harsh and loud grating sound
AN OMEGA'S REVENGE 135 - The Wait
Draven sat in the back of his SUV, the aura around him likable to a stormy night in the middle of an ocean. He was waiting, and he hated it. The longer his subordinates took to report back to him, the more restless he grew. His body vibrated with barely contained power, his gaze darker than the moonless sky. A moment later, his phone vibrated in his pocket and his expression never changing, he pulled it out. He swiped the screen, picking the call, and put the phone to his ear. "We've located Miss Knight, my lord." A deep voice droned into his ear an instant later. Draven listened to the address that came next, one he wasn't familiar with, then tilting his head towards his driver, repeated it. "How long is it from here?" The man behind the wheel hastily imputed the location into the car's GPS, and was provided with an answer soon after. "30 minutes, my lord. It's just on the outskirts of the city." Armed with information, Draven resumed the conversation with the one on the ph
AN OMEGA'S REVENGE 134 - A Monster In Dior
Belinda's blacked-out mind gave way to consciousness, and the first thing she became aware of was the merciless throbbing In her forehead. Her entire body ached, as though her nerves were fighting a battle against her—and winning. Instinctively, she tried to find a position that was not so uncomfortable, but she felt like a log—too heavy and stiff to move. She realized then that despite her eyes being open, all she could see was pitch black. Her guess was that she was blindfolded, judging by the slight pressure around the diameter of her head, but she couldn't be sure. When she attempted to lower her hands to check, however, she met resistance. Without sight or mobility, Belinda had only intuition to use to assess her situation. She deduced that she was being pinned to a wall, both her hands held high above her head with handcuffs. Her bottom sat on a cold concrete floor, the dew on the surface seeping into her shorts and soaking it. She was alone, as far as she could tell, and in a
AN OMEGA'S REVENGE 133 - All Of Them
Draven never locked his doors, because every living being in the building knew to never disturb him without being summoned first. The only exclusion was his Beta, who he'd grown quite fond of over the decades. That privilege did not yet extend to his Beta's son and successor. The boy knew that, yet he walked through the front doors of the penthouse uninvited. And what was worse, he'd brought company. Dropping all he was doing, Draven leaned back into his chair, waiting for the trio to arrive. They found him soon enough, halting in front of his office's door. A soft knock sounded a second later, but the show of courtesy did little to lighten his mood. "May we come in, my lord?" Marcus' clear voice rang from behind the door. "You seem to have already come to a conclusion on that." The annoyance wasn't lost in Draven's reply. It should have been to scare them off, to give them the hint that he was not in the mood to entertain any guests. Yet, the wood swung open, ushering thr
