All Chapters of Omega's Rise: From Rejected Mate to Savior: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Gwen's POV I managed to slip out of Nora's room without being caught as my heart pounded in my chest with fear. The journal I had seen in her room, which might have answered all my questions about her, lay in the room where I had dropped it for fear of being caught. It weighed heavily on my mind as I wished I could have risked being caught just to have a glimpse of the book. But the footsteps of the maid I heard turned my inside upside down and I could only think of one thing, escaping. I hailed myself for being smart as where I hid, the closet was a close call! Even though the place was small and a dim space which was cramped up and even smelled faintly of cedar, I ensured I pressed myself against the back wall and barely breathed to avoid stories that touch the heart. I heard the maid first before bracing up and peering through the slats of the door to see the maid who had interrupted my mission, moving around the room gathering things for ‘poisoned’ Nora. She dumped everything

Gwen’s POVThe following morning, I paced tirelessly in my room, eagerly awaiting Alpha Blake's return. I had barely slept during the night. My mind was jammed with questions and feelings that barely let me sleep. My frustration and confusion from the night before lingered, making me restless. I needed a word with Alpha Blake to see where we stood.My two maids, Aurelia and Elgiva looked at me with concern. The older and more experienced of the two, Aurelia, cautiously approached me. "Lady Gwen, would you like some tea to calm your nerves?" she asked gently.I shook my head, barely acknowledging Aurelia at all. "No, thank you, Aurelia. I just need to see and talk to Alpha Blake.".The younger maid, Elgiva, tried to smile reassuringly. "I'm sure Alpha Blake will be back soon. He has to be dealing with some important pack business or something."I sighed, continuing my pacing. "I know, Elgiva. It's just. I need to understand what's going on. Everything feels so confusing and overwhel

Gwen's POV “Come here, my cutie pie!” He squealed with laughter. He suddenly dragged me into his arms, his strength overpowered my struggles underneath him as he wrapped his arms around me tightly. Why was he hugging and laughing at me when he had just hugged Nora a few minutes ago? Was he supposed to hug her when he had me? We already discussed it but it still felt… that's just ridiculous! I felt another surge of emotion explode within me as tears just streamed down my face effortlessly, I was literally crying like a baby against his chest. “Not again, Gwen!” I heard him say as he patted my back. “I know right? I shouldn't but I can't help it!” I uttered with a hoarse voice. His suddenly tight hug made me feel the need to cry again. This felt like he was consoling me from something, I had to cry to make everything fall into place besides the frustration and hurt from these past few days were just getting to me. I'm sorry, I shouldn't but I just can't help it! “Okay, Gwen why d

Gwen’s POV I felt the flutter of anticipation at the question of whether or not I was part of his future. The question hung in the air, and Alpha Blake's eyes went soft. He opened his mouth to respond but then he glanced at Nora, who stood a few steps away, her eyes were filled with a mixture of sadness and longing. Alpha Blake hesitated once again, the words catching in his throat."Alpha Blake?" my voice was barely above a whisper, it was laced with hope and anxiety.Alpha Blake dragged his attention away from Nora to look at me. His face twisted in agony since he knew that the words spoken would determine our future, and shatter Nora a bit more. "Gwen, can we talk about this some other time? Please, it's…..complicated."My smile faltered as confusion and hurt clouded my eyes. "What do you mean, Alpha Blake? Why can't you just answer me?"Alpha Blake sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration, before he said, "Gwen, it's not as easy as you think. There are things you

Blake’s POVI stood under the warm stream of the shower, the water tumbling down over my lean, muscular form. I had taken longer than normal, trying to still my racing thoughts. I knew I should be in Gwen's room, holding her, assuring her of my commitment, but I hesitated. My heart ached with longing, yet my mind was preoccupied with worry. I feared losing my control, feared that my desire might overpower my resolve.Finally, I shut off the water and got out, wrapping a towel around my waist. I caught my partial reflection in the mirror, and the look in my eyes was troubled. I shook my head and grabbed another towel to dry my hair. The desire to be with Gwen was overpowering, but I had to handle the situation carefully.I padded toward Gwen's room in comfortable nightwear. My footsteps were silent on the wooden floor. I Stopped outside her door, my hand lifted to knock, but again, I didn't. What if she was mad at me because I hadn't come earlier? Taking a deep breath, I knocke
