A Patient In The Dark
Last Updated:
2025-04-09 17:37:56Becca gritted her teeth as she half-dragged, half-carried the unconscious man inside her clinic.
He was much heavier than she had expected, his body packed with thick muscle beneath the robes he wore. Her arms ached, but she didn’t stop—not when his fevered skin burned against hers, not when she felt the unsteady rise and fall of his chest. Without hesitation, she put him onto her table. As she attempted to remove his clothes, a scent drifted toward her—faint but unmistakable. Her entire body froze. No… That scent. It was familiar. Too familiar. Her stomach twisted violently, nausea rising in her throat. It smelled like him. Like Alpha Desmond. A scent she had spent months trying to forget. A scent that haunted her nightmares. A scent that had once made her heart race with longing, only to now make her sick with anger. She stumbled back, her breath shallow. Was it him? Had Desmond come here in disguise? Had he—? No. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to think rationally. The scent was similar, but not identical. Desmond’s scent had been sharper, filled with authority and arrogance. This man’s scent was… different. More rugged. Worn down by pain and exhaustion. Still, her hands trembled as she reached for his hood. She needed to see his face. She hesitated for a brief moment, then pulled the hood down. Her breath hitched. The man was stunning. Even in unconsciousness, his features were sharp—his jaw strong, his lips full, his dark lashes long against his pale skin. His short, dark hair was filled with sweat, strands sticking to his forehead. He was maybe a warrior because his body was sculpted with power, each muscle defined even beneath the injuries. Becca shook herself. Focus. She pulled the rest of the robe away, revealing the true extent of his wounds. Her eyes widened at the deep injury across his side. The wound was swollen, the flesh surrounding it turning an unnatural shade of purple. Poison. Her instincts kicked in. She grabbed her medical supplies—a sharp knife, clean bandages, herbal paste, and a vial of antidote she had prepared for venomous wounds. Without wasting time, she cut away his clothes around the injury, exposing the infected area. Her fingers moved quickly, her training taking over as she carefully cleaned the wound. She ground a mixture of healing herbs, pressing the paste into the open cut before injecting the antidote into his bloodstream. The poison would have killed him within hours if she had not acted. But now, he would live. She was sure of it. Just as Becca was finishing her work, the clinic door creaked open. “Becca, I’m so sorry!” Becca clenched her jaw. Mira. Her assistant was late. Again. Mira rushed inside, her breathless voice filling the room. She was a few years younger than Becca and had a habit of running late. Becca shot her a glare. “Mira, do you even understand what ‘being on time’ means?” Mira winced. “I know, I know! But listen, I had a really good reason this time—” “No excuse,” Becca snapped, wiping her bloodied hands on a cloth. “What if I had needed your help with a patient?” Mira’s gaze drifted past Becca to the unconscious man on the table. Her eyes widened. “Bless the moon, who is that?!” She exclaimed. Becca exhaled, exhaustion creeping into her bones. “I don’t know.” Mira stepped closer, examining him with wide eyes. “Okay, but… where did he come from? He’s—wow. He’s ridiculously handsome.” Becca rolled her eyes. “Yes, Mira, very helpful observation.” Mira ignored her sarcasm. “He’s injured. How did this happen?” “I found him outside,” Becca muttered, rubbing her temples. “He collapsed. I couldn’t just leave him there.” Mira’s excitement disappeared, replaced by unease. “Becca… what if he’s from a rival pack?” Becca crossed her arms. “I don’t care where he’s from.” Mira gaped. “You should care! What if he’s dangerous?” Becca’s voice hardened. “I don’t pick and choose who I heal, Mira. If someone is hurt, I help them.” Mira chewed on her lip, clearly unconvinced. “I just think we should be careful. What if—” A loud bang on the clinic door made them both jump. The door burst open. Five men stormed inside. Becca’s stomach sank. Guards. They wore the dark armor of the pack’s enforcers, their expressions cold and unyielding. Becca straightened her spine. “If you’ve come to demand more taxes, tell Alpha Desmond I have nothing left to give.” The tallest guard smirked. “We’re not here for taxes.” Becca’s brow furrowed. “Then why are you here?” The guard stepped forward, his presence suffocating. “By the order of Alpha Desmond, you are under arrest.” Becca blinked. “What?” Mira gasped. “Wait—what do you mean? She hasn’t done anything wrong!” The guard ignored her, grabbing Becca’s arm. Becca pulled herself free. “Tell me why I’m being arrested" she demanded. The guards didn’t answer. Instead, they sneered. “Why should an Omega question us?” “Rejected by an Alpha and still thinks she matters.” “Pathetic.” Anger flared inside Becca. “If you don’t give me a reason, I’m not going anywhere.” The lead guard grabbed her wrist harshly, pulling her toward the door. “You don’t have a choice.” Mira lunged forward, trying to remove the guard off. “Leave her alone!” Another guard seized Mira by the arm. Mira kicked and struggled. “Let go of me!” Becca fought against her captor, her voice sharp. “Why are you taking her?” The guard chuckled. “You were talking too much. Thought you could use some company in the dungeons.” Becca’s heart pounded. “Dungeons?” Panic clawed at her throat. Then— One of the guards noticed the unconscious man on the table. His expression changed instantly. “What the hell—?” he took another look at Becca. "You're in even bigger trouble." The lead guard narrowed his eyes. “Take him too.” Becca’s stomach dropped. “No!” She stepped protectively in front of the injured man, her instincts screaming. The guard shoved her aside. She crashed against the wall, pain exploding through her shoulder. Before she could recover, two guards lifted the unconscious man from the table. Becca’s breath caught. She didn’t even know who he was. And now… They were all being taken. As the guards dragged her, Mira, and the stranger out of the clinic, Becca’s mind raced. What did Alpha Desmond want with her? And who the hell was the man she had just saved?

The heavy iron door slammed shut behind them, sealing Becca and Mira inside the cold prison cell beneath Alpha Desmond’s mansion. The air was thick with the scent of old blood.Mira sat in the corner, her arms wrapped tightly around herself. “I can’t believe this is happening,” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I’ve never been in a place like this before.”Becca exhaled sharply, pacing the cell. She had been here before. Thrown into this very cell. The memory clawed at her mind—Desmond’s cold eyes, his mocking smile as he had ordered her locked away simply for trying to heal one of the maids.She clenched her fists. “This isn’t the first time Desmond has done this to me. He thinks throwing me down here will break me, but it won’t.”Mira’s wide eyes met hers. “But what if this time is different? What if he really—”“Stop.” Becca bent in front of her, gripping her shoulders gently. “We will get out of this. I promise you.”Mira swallowed hard and nodded, but fear still lin

The tension in the room thickened as gasps whispered through the gathered crowd.Alpha Eugene.The name rolled through her mind as the man moved toward her, his gaze never leaving her broken form on the floor. His sharp eyes softened the moment he reached her.Without a word, he extended his hand.Becca stared at it, still dazed, still unable to process what was happening.“Come,” Eugene murmured, his voice deep yet gentle.Becca hesitated, but something in his presence made her reach out. He grasped her hand firmly, his warmth stark against the coldness of the hall. He pulled her to her feet with effortless strength, steadying her as her legs threatened to give out beneath her.She felt… safe.But the safety was immediately overshadowed by confusion.“What the hell is going on?” Becca demanded, pulling her hand away the moment she found her balance.

The words echoed through Becca’s mind, slamming into her with a force that almost made it impossible for her to breathe."She is my mate." Those words repeated in her head as she tired to register it.No.No, that couldn’t be right.Her breath came in short, shallow bursts. Her heart pounded so violently that it was painful. The entire hall had fallen into stunned silence, yet the sound of gasps and hushed whispers spread like wildfire.She felt their eyes on her, sinking into her skin.Desmond was the first to react.A sharp, disbelieving laugh cut through the tension, but there was no humor in it. His golden eyes gleamed with dark amusement as he stepped forward."You must be joking." His voice was like poison dripping from his tongue. "This has to be a mistake, Eugene. Tell me you didn’t just claim her."Eugene didn’t even flinch. He didn’t turn his head, didn’t spare Desmond a single glance. His piercing gaze remained locked onto Becca—unwavering and unshaken.She felt trappe

The darkness surrounding Becca suddenly shattered.Her eyes flew open as though jolted from a nightmare. Her heart was pounding. She was drenched in sweat. For a moment, she didn’t know where she was. The ceiling above her was unfamiliar—elegant, carved wood with golden trims and an ornate chandelier. Silk sheets. Velvet curtains. Soft pillows under her head.This wasn’t her clinic. And it sure as hell wasn’t the dungeons.Then it hit her—the memory of that awful moment in the grand hall.Alpha Desmond’s sneer.The executioner’s attack.The cold words echoing in the hall.“She committed an abomination—she dared to touch Alpha blood.”And then… that voice.

Desmond paced around his chamber, each step echoing his increasing anger. The audacity of his half-brother, Eugene, to return unannounced and challenge his authority was infuriating. Worse still, Eugene had intervened in the execution of that insufferable Omega, Becca, and had the gall to claim her as his mate. The mere thought made Desmond's blood boil.The distant hum of engines interrupted his seething thoughts. He moved to the window and saw a convoy of sleek black vehicles approaching the estate. Luna Seraphina had returned from her spa retreat. Her presence was both a comfort and a complication; while she was his mate, her temper was as bad as his own.The driver swiftly opened the door, and Seraphina emerged, exuding an aura of dominance and elegance. Without wasting time, she began issuing commands to the staff."Careful with those bags! If anything is damaged, consider your employment terminated," she snapped, her icy blue eyes scanning the maids running to collect her

The great wolf council hall was a towering structure of stone and glass, with high ceilings and ancient paintings bearing the symbols of generations past. Its walls carried the stories of countless decisions that had shaped the werewolf realms. Today, it would bear witness to another.Alpha Eugene stood at the center of the chamber, his broad shoulders squared, his piercing silver eyes unwavering. The wolf council members, a gathering of old, sharp-eyed men and women, sat in a circle before him. Each of them bore the weight of decades of power, and none were easily impressed.Eugene’s wolf stirred within him, pacing impatiently. He kept his breathing steady, tamping down the surge of possessive anger that threatened to surface whenever his thoughts drifted to Becca — and to Desmond.An elder, Councilor Hadrian, cleared his throat and leaned forward. His voice, though aged, still carried authority.“Alpha Eugene, you have returned after years spent infiltrating the rival clans. T

Becca slammed the door behind her, the sound echoing through the room.Her back pressed against the door, her breaths coming in short, rapid bursts as the enormity of what she had just done settled on her shoulders.“Goddess,” she whispered under her breath, her palms filled with sweat as she lifted them to her flushed cheeks. “What did I just do?”The memory played in her mind like a vivid nightmare. Becca squeezed her eyes shut, willing herself to calm down, to gather her scattered thoughts before—The door creaked open.She turned around, panic flickering across her features. There, standing in the doorway like the storm itself, was Eugene. His broad frame filled the entrance, his eyes locked onto her with a mix of warmth and predatory amusement. He closed the door behind him without a word.“Eugene,” she started, her voice a wary tremble.He didn’t rush to speak. Instead, he took a slow step forward, his expression unreadable except for the faint smirk tugging at the corner of

The heavy, oppressive air inside Alpha Desmond’s chambers was thick with unspoken fury and unrelenting bitterness. The flickering glow of the fireplace cast long shadows against the walls, giving the space an almost sinister atmosphere. The heady scent of wine, cedarwood, and musk clung to the room like a heavy cloak and filled every corner.Desmond paced back and forth, his footsteps muffled by the thick rug beneath his polished boots. His dark eyes, filled with seething rage, narrowed every time his mind replayed Becca’s voice echoing through the council chamber — “I am his mate.”It had blindsided them all.The council, those cowardly old fools, had accepted it without question, their eyes flickering with approval at the sight of Eugene standing tall with that wretched Omega by his side. It ate at Desmond’s pride, like a parasite burrowing into his very soul.Seated gracefully on an expensive chair, Luna Seraphina poured herself a glass of deep red wine. The stem of the glass

The Rejected Omega's Redemption Mira's Despair
The cold, damp air of the dungeon clung to Mira’s skin, bringing back bitter memories of her time here the first time.The heavy iron door clanged shut behind the guards, leaving her in suffocating darkness except for a flickering torch on the far wall. The stone walls were rough and unwelcoming, the floor uneven beneath her. She swallowed hard, trying to will back the rising fear clawing at her chest.“You will get what’s coming to you, Omega trash,” one of the guards sneered, leaning against the bars. His lips curled into a mocking smile as the others chuckled behind him.“Yeah,” another chimed in. “Thinking you could open your mouth against Luna Seraphina like that? What a joke.”Mira straightened her shoulders, defiance burning in her chest despite the terror gnawing at her heart. “I spoke the truth,” she shot back, her voice shaking but fierce. “And you’ll regret mocking Luna Becca. She’s also your Luna now. She deserves your respect.”The guards burst into cruel laughter.“R
The Rejected Omega's Redemption Bonds Tested
It was as if the entire members of the Blackwood Pack had completely gone still. The once warm, inviting glow of sunlight now cast cruel shadows over every corner, reflecting the unease rippling through the gathered wolves. The scent of hatred and mockery lingered in the air, clashing with the sharp tang of tension and impending conflict.Alpha Eugene stood tall, the veins on his neck visible due to anger, his jaw clenched so hard it could have cracked stone. His icy glare swept over Mira, who struggled in the iron grip of the guards at either side of her. She tried to free herself but it was nearly impossible. “Speak, Mira,” Eugene growled, his voice rough, a deadly storm brewing beneath the surface. “You accused Luna Seraphina of poisoning me and my Becca. But when she ate from the said poisoned food, she was completely fine. Explain yourself. Now.”Mira swallowed, though her throat felt raw. Her limbs trembled under the guards’ hold, but her voice rose clear and firm, fueled
The Rejected Omega's Redemption Mira's Accusations
The grand hall of the Blackwood Pack brimmed with uneasy tension. Sunlight filtered through the tall stained-glass windows, painting restless colors across the polished marble floor. The numerous sounds of shock and the hushed murmurs of onlookers mixed into a steady hum that seemed to press down on the gathering like a heavy storm cloud.At the center of it all, Alpha Eugene stood tall, his face a storm of fury. The last remnants of the calming potion in his system had already disappeared, and now his eyes burned with unrestrained rage."What is the meaning of this, explain yourself" Eugene demanded.“How dare you utter such a thing in my presence!” Desmond’s voice exploded through the hall, making the chandeliers tremble. “Guards! Seize her!”At once, two heavily muscular guards advanced on Mira, their boots echoing ominously against the marble floor. Other servants in the dining hall gasped collectively, several hands flying to their mouths as they watched the scene unfold.“Wa
The Rejected Omega's Redemption The Dining Hall Confrontation
Becca tapped her foot against the cold marble floor, her arms crossed tightly against her chest as she stood alone in the hallway.Maids that passed stared at her weirdly and it was getting on her nerves.She gritted her teeth.Where the hell was Mira?Becca had told herself she would wait outside until her friend arrived. That had been the plan. But now, she couldn’t wait any longer.With a sharp inhale and squared shoulders, Becca pushed open the tall oak doors of the dining hall.The room was as grand and unwelcoming as ever and sitting near the far end were the two wolves she least wanted to see.Luna Seraphina, regal in her emerald silk gown, sat like a queen at the left side of the table.Next to her, Desmond lounged back in his chair, a cruel smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. And then there was Eugene.He sat at the head of the table, his handsome, regal, and cold face softened the instant he saw Becca step into the room.“Ah,” Eugene’s voice cut through the heavy s
The Rejected Omega's Redemption Plans of Deceit
The early rays of sunlight came through the thick curtains, casting a soft, golden glow across the room. Becca stood before the full-length mirror, watching as Mira carefully adjusted the lace on her gown. "How do you feel?" Mira asked quietly.She had been with Becca for so long that she could tell when something was off, but today—today Becca was different. There was a hardness in her eyes that hadn’t been there before.Becca took a deep breath, the words she had been holding in all night finally bubbling to the surface. "Mira, I need to tell you something," Becca began, her voice barely a whisper.Mira eyes met Becca’s. "What is it?" she asked, her voice filled with concern. "You’re scaring me."Becca swallowed hard."I overheard something last night," she began, her voice low. "I was in the garden when I heard Luna Seraphina, Desmond, and Councilor Margot talking."Mira's face paled, and she immediately stepped forward, kneeling beside Becca. "What were they saying? What did
The Rejected Omega's Redemption Whispered words in the Garden
Becca couldn’t stop thinking about how Alpha Eugene’s fury had made him seem almost otherworldly, how the raw power that radiated from him in those moments both terrified and enthralled her. The way his eyes had glowed, a dangerous warning, yet his vulnerability beneath it all. "Why did I say that?" Becca thought, turning onto her side, hugging her pillow closer. "Why did I tell him I was here for him?"The words had slipped out before she could stop them, and now they felt foolish—too vulnerable and open. She wasn’t the kind of person who revealed herself so easily, who laid her emotions bare.She groaned inwardly, burying her face in the pillow."What’s wrong with me?" Becca thought, sitting up suddenly, her legs swinging over the edge of the bed. She stood and paced the room, the silence pressing in around her. Her fingers gripped the edge of her desk as she stared out the window, watching the moon as it climbed higher in the night sky. "He’s dangerous. He’s powerful. I shoul
The Rejected Omega's Redemption Shattering Tempers and Shaken Hearts
The air was thick with tension as Eugene stormed into his chambers, the heavy doors slamming shut behind him with a deafening thud.Becca hesitated outside his door for a moment, her fingers hovering just above the handle. She could hear the muffled sounds of something shattering inside—a vase, maybe.The sound made her scared, but she took a deep breath, preparing herself before pushing the door open.Inside, Eugene was a storm. His towering frame moved with restless fury as he grabbed a glass off the table and threw it against the wall.His usually composed expression was twisted, his handsome face a mask of barely restrained violence.“Eugene—” Becca began cautiously, her voice soft but firm.“Don’t,” he spat, not even looking at her as he paced the room like a caged predator. “Don’t try to calm me down, Becca. Not right now.”Becca closed the door behind her, leaning against it for a moment as she watched him. His eyes were no longer their usual colour. They had begun to glow
The Rejected Omega's Redemption Shifting Powers
The distant sound of the council bell echoed across the palace grounds, loud and relentless like a warning from the heavens themselves. The sound made Becca’s stomach twist into a knot she couldn’t untangle, especially when her mind replayed the way Luna Seraphina had looked triumphant in her room earlier. Her pulse raced, her hands clammy against the fabric of her gown as she and Mira hurried through the long, winding corridors of the palace, the ancient stone walls closing in on either side. The thick scent of burning cedar from the wall sconces filled her nose as they walked, Mira visibly anxious beside her.Becca exhaled slowly. “I don’t like this,” she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper, though she knew Mira heard her.“I don’t either,” Mira admitted, chewing on her bottom lip. “But whatever it is, we’ll face it.”Becca gave a small, dry laugh. “I seem to do a lot of ‘facing things’ lately.”They turned a corner and almost collided headfirst into a pair of broad figu
The Rejected Omega's Redemption The Loud Bell
The silence in Becca’s room was deafening as she entered. The moment Alpha King Eugene’s words had left his lips and he had turned and walked away, Becca was stunned. The air felt heavier, and her heart beat erratically against her ribcage. She hadn’t asked for protection. She hadn’t asked for him to fight her battles. And yet, here she was — tangled in a storm she no longer had control over.Becca pressed her back against the door and exhaled deeply, closing her eyes. She hated this feeling — this unsettling warmth that spread through her chest every time Eugene did something kind, something fierce, something possessive. She had built walls around her heart, and now he was tearing them down without her consent.The scent of herbs, old wood, and freshly polished floors lingered in the room, mingling with the faint fragrance of lavender she always kept nearby to calm her nerves. It wasn’t working.Just then, the door opened without a knock.Becca’s eyes snapped open, and her glar
