Patience, A Rare Virtue

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-03-06 00:17:14

Star’s POV

The tension between us had thickened over the last few days. It was a dangerous mixture of desire, guilt, and curiosity. Helios had been patient, quieter than usual, but there was an edge to him, a restlessness that he seemed unable to shake. I could feel it. Every glance, every breath, every touch was laced with something unsaid, something too powerful to ignore.

I had noticed it in the way he moved, the way he watched me. Helios was no longer the man who thought he had control over everything. He was… lost. Or maybe, he was just slowly finding his place beside me.

It was strange, how much I had come to rely on the silence between us, on the unspoken rules we had created. It wasn’t love, at least, not yet, but it was something. Something raw, something real. And though I hated to admit it, I was beginning to crave it. Crave him.

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    Unveiling Threads

    Star's POVThe quiet hum of the castle was more pronounced tonight. I couldn’t sleep, my thoughts too restless. Helios had kept his distance in the days that followed our conversation, the patience he had promised me still hanging in the air, but there was something different about it now. It felt heavier. He was waiting, but so was I.I stood at the window of my chamber, the cool night air brushing against my skin as I gazed out over the expansive grounds. The moon cast a soft, eerie glow over the courtyard, making everything appear still and silent. The tension between me and Helios had reached a breaking point, I could feel it. But there was something else, too. A thread of connection, delicate but unmistakable.The knock on the door was soft, almost tentative. I turned away from the window, heart skipping a beat. I knew who it was before I even heard his voice. “Star?” Helios’s voice came from the other side, low

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    Tipping Scales

    Star's POVThe days had dragged on, each one heavier than the last. The tension between Helios and me was unbearable, like a cord pulled too tight, threatening to snap. And yet, there was something compelling about it, the push and pull, the battle of wills. He seemed to be adjusting to my dominance, his usual arrogance slowly bending under the weight of my commands. But it was still an unspoken understanding. We were both testing each other, and neither of us was ready to reveal our true hand.That night, however, things felt different. A subtle shift had occurred, something unspoken but tangible in the air. I had felt it in the way Helios had been looking at me the past few days, something darker in his gaze. Something that had me on edge, but in the most thrilling way.I paced around my chamber, waiting. My thoughts, like a whirlwind, were torn between my instincts to be cautious and

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    Thin Line Between Power And Control

    Star's POVThe night was filled with tension, but not the usual kind, the kind I was used to. No, tonight there was something more to it. The magnitude of Helios’s silent compliance was pressing down on me, and it was both exhilarating and terrifying. My heart pounded with a mixture of anticipation and the fear of what would come next. We were playing a dangerous game, and the line between control and surrender had never been so blurred.I paced around the room, my fingers tracing the contours of the carved stone walls, trying to keep my thoughts in check. It wasn’t just that I was enjoying this newfound dynamic, though, I won’t deny that I was. It was more than that. I could feel it in the pit of my stomach, that nagging doubt, the unsettling realization that I might be getting in over my head.Helios had changed. I could feel it in the air. His eyes no longer held the usual arrogance,

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    Delicate Dance

    Star's POVThe silence in the room was suffocating. The only sound that broke it was the soft creak of the wooden floor beneath my feet as I paced back and forth, my mind racing with a thousand thoughts. Helios stood in the center of the room, watching me, his eyes dark and unreadable. There was an unsettling calm about him, and for once, it felt like the roles had shifted.I’d never felt so in control, yet so lost at the same time. His mere presence was overwhelming. The man I had once feared, the Alpha who had broken me so many times, was now standing before me, seemingly at my mercy. But was he really? Was this the true shift in power, or was I fooling myself into thinking I had the upper hand? I wasn’t sure anymore.I stopped pacing, my breath coming out in a rush as I turned to face him. He didn’t move, didn't flinch. There was a strange serenity about him, like he had finally come to terms with something that h

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    Breaking The Chains

    Star’s POV The scent of damp earth and pine spread through the night air, as I strode toward the abandoned training grounds. My pulse pounded against my skin, but it wasn’t fear that drove me, it was fury. Helios thought this was a game. He thought that if he pushed hard enough, if he played his part well enough, I’d break. I wouldn’t. Actually, I couldn’t. Not after everything. I stopped in the middle of the clearing, my breath steady despite the fire raging inside me. This was where I used to train alone, where I’d beaten my fists against the dirt, where I’d bled and clawed my way into becoming more than the pack’s discarded omega. Memories surfaced like ghosts, whispering in my ears. "Know your place, Omega." "You should be grateful we let you stay at all." "Helios will never choose you." I squeezed my eyes shut, forc

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    Why Did I Kneel?

    Helios’s POVI stormed into my chambers, my fists clenched so tightly my nails bit into my palms. Star had walked away. Again. That damn woman! She thought she had control? That she could bend me to her will? She was wrong.I shoved a chair aside, the wood splintering against the stone wall. My entire body was on fire with frustration, but beneath it… something deeper coiled in my gut. Something raw. Why did I kneel?The question burned through my mind like an ember. It had been instinct, pure, unfiltered instinct. I should have fought back, should have thrown her off, should have.... "You know why." The voice rumbled from the depths of my soul, deep and ancient, carrying a weight I hadn’t noticed before.I exhaled sharply. Hades. My wolf had been silent for too long. Ever since Star had stood before me tonight, unwavering, unshaken, above me. And I had let her.

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    Silent Betrayal

    Helios’s POVI sat on the edge of my bed, my fingers digging into my thighs, my jaw clenched so tightly that it ached. My mind raced with everything that had happened. I had knelt before Star. My wolf had turned against me. I had been powerless before her. But that wasn’t the end. It couldn’t be.She thought she had won. That she could strip me of my will, break me like a disobedient pup, and leave me crawling at her feet. But she didn’t understand. I was Helios Blackridge. The Alpha. The ruler. And no woman, no omega, was going to change that.I had played along. Let her have her moment of dominance, let her believe she had tamed me. But that was a mistake on her part. She had let me close. Close enough to make her lower her guard.I exhaled slowly, my gaze settling on the moonlight spilling through my window. It cast an eerie glow on my room, making the shadows seem deeper, and thicker.

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    The Price Of Deception

    Star’s POVHelios thought I couldn’t see through him. I watched him carefully, my golden eyes locked onto his face as he spoke, feigning defeat. His shoulders slouched, his tone softer, his gaze lowered in supposed submission. It was an act.He thought if he played along long enough, I would lower my guard. That I would welcome him into my arms, let him mark me, let him reclaim the control he had lost. He thought he was being clever. But what he didn’t realize was that I wasn’t just watching him. I was watching Hades, too. His wolf had already betrayed him.Helios had made a grave mistake in thinking he could lie to me. Hades might have been bound to him, but the moment Helios defied the mate bond—the moment he sought to control rather than protect, Hades had turned against him.I folded my arms, tilting my head slightly as if I were considering his words. “You understand now?” I asked, m

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    Traces Of The Past

    Star’s POVThe courtyard was awash with tension as the pack gathered. Their murmurs were a low hum of uncertainty. The challenge with Hutchins had ended, but the unease lingered like a storm cloud.Helios stood beside me, his face unreadable, his fingers curled into tight fists. Hutchins had not only challenged his authority but had done so under someone else's influence. Someone far more dangerous. And though the battle was won, the war was far from over.Helios exhaled slowly before addressing the pack. “Hutchins made his choice. He didn’t act alone. And though he lost, his actions threatened the unity of our pack.” His voice was strong, unyielding. “For that, I have no choice but to banish him.”A ripple of shock coursed through the crowd. Banishment was a harsh punishment, but it was necessary. Toren, one of the senior warriors, stepped forward. “Alpha, is there no other way?”“No,” Helios said firmly. “He betrayed us by allowing himself to be a pawn. Ravena has been pulling the

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    Unprecedented Unease

    Star’s POVMy body shuddered with unprecedented unease, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something worse was coming. As much as I wanted to trust in the strength of our bond, there were too many unknowns, too many things about Ravena and Hutchins that lingered like a shadow over us.Helios had grown quieter in the days following the challenge, his once-unshakable confidence now tempered with a cautious wariness. And I couldn’t blame him. I, too, felt the weight of it all. The sense of danger that had been growing like a storm on the horizon.That evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Helios called for a pack meeting. It wasn’t unusual to gather the members of the Moonlit Pack, but tonight felt different. The air was filled with anticipation, the usual warmth of pack camaraderie replaced by an undercurrent of tension.I stood beside him, my hand firmly clasped in his, trying to offer him whatever strength I could, though I could feel my own anxiety tightening in my chest.

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    Our Fight

    Star’s POVI watched as the dust settled, the echoes of the challenge still hanging in the air. Hutchins, bruised and bloodied, was helped away by a few loyal pack members. His defiance had been met with force, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that this wasn’t over. Not by a long shot.Helios stood tall, his back straight and unyielding, but his eyes betrayed him. The weight of being Alpha, of leading with both strength and the uncertainty that came with it, was heavy on his shoulders. His hands clenched, then unclenched at his sides, like he was trying to rein in something. "Star," he said, his voice low, but steady, "We need to talk."I nodded and followed him to the balcony, away from prying eyes. The cool night air brushed against my skin, but it wasn’t enough to chase the heat gathering in the pit of my stomach. This wasn’t just about Hutchins. This was about everything.“I don’t und

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    Hutchins' Backing

    Unknown POV A few months prior, Hutchins had been humiliated in front of the entire pack when Helios effortlessly defeated him in a challenge. It was a public spectacle, and Hutchins’s pride had taken a brutal blow. Since then, he had been hiding in the shadows, licking his wounds and plotting.But now, his behavior had changed. He was bolder, almost reckless. Why would someone who had just been crushed so easily return to challenge the Alpha again? It wasn’t just arrogance or pride. It was something deeper, something dangerous.Unbeknownst to most of the pack, Hutchins had struck a secret deal with a powerful ally, someone who had resources and influence that even Helios couldn’t easily disregard. This mysterious figure was, Ravena.Ravena had never been content to live in the shadow of others, but her deepest resentment came from her unrequited love for Killian, the former Alpha of the

    Helios's POVThe room was filled with unspoken challenges as Hutchins turned and walked away, his footsteps echoing off the stone walls. The tension in the room was palpable, but I refused to let it crack me. His words that were meant to wound, only strengthened my resolve. I could feel the eyes of the pack on me, waiting, watching, assessing.But I wasn’t about to let them see weakness. Not now. Not ever. Star stood close beside me, still tense, her fingers brushing mine. I felt the connection between us, the pulse of the bond that had only grown stronger. But I could also sense her hesitation. I didn’t blame her. Hutchins had struck deep.“Are you alright?” I asked, my voice soft, though I was keenly aware of the gravity of the situation. She nodded, but her eyes betrayed a quiet storm inside her. “I’ll be fine,” she said, though the uncertainty lingered in her tone.“I won’t

    Helios's POVThe day after Mordecai's challenge, the Pack house felt suffocating with unspoken tension. The servants moved quietly, their eyes darting nervously, the heavy weight of yesterday's events still hanging over us. I couldn’t escape the sensation that the pack, the very kingdom itself, was watching my every move.Star stayed close, though I could feel the walls she built around herself. Despite the bond, despite everything we had shared the night before, she remained cautious, as if she were afraid of being swept away by the current between us.She was beautiful, as always. But today, there was a sharpness to her gaze, a flicker of determination in her eyes that I hadn’t seen before.As we walked the corridors together, side by side, the tension in the air between us was palpable. She kept her distance, but I could sense the pull, the magnetic force of our bond tugging at her, at both of us.The silence was broken by the sound of footsteps approaching, heavy, purposeful. I tu

  • The Dominant Omega And Her Submissive Alpha    Star, His Bottom Line

    Helios’s POVI could detect the scent of deceit lingering in the air before Hutchins even spoke. My cousin stood to the side, his expression carefully neutral, but I wasn’t fooled. The moment I stepped into the gathering hall, I could feel the tension, the waiting eyes, the unspoken challenge crackling like a storm about to break. Then, my gaze landed on him. Alpha Mordecai.A towering brute of a man, all brawn and arrogance, his sharp eyes assessing me with an amused glint. He leaned back in his chair, arms draped casually over the sides, a smirk playing on his lips. The room had gone quiet. Too quiet.“You’ve grown soft, Helios,” Mordecai drawled, his voice laced with false sympathy. “Mating an Omega… what a shame.” A low growl rumbled in my chest, but I kept my posture relaxed, my expression unreadable.Mordecai chuckled. “Then again, I suppose it makes se

For a moment, I forgot about the world outside, about the expectations and responsibilities that weighed on me. All that mattered was the quiet, peaceful moment we shared.As I stirred, Helios's arms tightened around me, holding me close. I felt his lips brush against my shoulder, sending shivers down my spine. It was a gentle, reverent touch, one that spoke volumes about the depth of his emotions.I turned to face him, our eyes meeting in the soft morning light. For an instant, we just looked at each other, the connection between us pulsing like a living thing. Then, Helios smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and my heart skipped a beat."Good morning, my love,"he whispered, his voice husky with emotion.My response caught in my th

    Helios POV I was on my knees, yet, I had never felt more powerful. Not because I had submitted. No. Because she had chosen me. Because she wanted me here, wanted me suffering for her. And I would. Happily.Every fiber of my being screamed for her. The scent of her heat wrapped around me like a noose, tightening with every breath I took. My muscles ached with restraint, my body shaking with the effort to remain still. But I would not move. Not unless she allowed it.She was toying with me, her fingers running over my skin, her lips grazing my throat, her breath teasing the shell of my ear. She knew exactly what she was doing, testing my control, pushing me to the brink of madness. And I loved it.I had spent my life in command. Of my pack. Of my warriors. Of my own damn instincts.
