Lahat ng Kabanata ng Little Omega's Obsession : Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Light CityIt had been two years since Nerissa had returned home, yet all she felt was a sense of dread as she yanked on the horse's reins, causing it to neigh and come to a stop by the stables."Not on the hay!" Corazon, the stablemaster, shouted, stomping his feet as he approached her. "Do you have any idea how long it took to gather that, peasant?!"Nerissa narrowed her eyes at Corazon and pulled off her hood. "Say that again, Corazon."He stopped abruptly, as if an invisible wall had blocked his path. His lips parted in shock, and his maroon gaze widened. With a shout that echoed through the stables, he proclaimed, "The Princess has returned!""Where is Father?" Nerissa asked as the servant attempted to fix her hair. Stupid lot. She missed her former chambermaid, Cazandra. While she was just as inept as the others, the woman did have a skillful touch. Apparently, everyone had assumed Nerissa had fled again, prompting her room to be cleared out and her servants relieved of their du

"What other gift?" he asks, anger flashing in his eyes, which have taken on a warmer hue.Hailey realizes that his ire indicates he didn't send her the note, and a wave of worry tightens around her heart. Who did, and why? "A dress," she lies, gently caressing the roses. "It's a lovely piece. I assumed it was from you. Perhaps someone else admires me in court." She glances up from the flowers with a shy smile. "If that will be all, then..."Rowan pushes the door further open, inserting himself into the doorway, and she stifles a shiver when he unexpectedly touches her cheek. "I'm here, just as you always wanted, yet you won't invite me in."His thumb traces a line down her temple, continuing along the curve of her neck. Her fingers tighten around the flowers, and a thorn

Attempting to speak, her face crumpled as searing pain shot through her throat. She wanted to tell him she was fine, that it was just tea and grapes—she'd endured worse. Yet, despite her resolve, she didn't feel right. The day's events had dragged her back years, to a time when her mother attended to the wounds she herself had inflicted.Her body trembled with fear, hatred, and sorrow. Her fingers clutched the tub's edge as she tried to pull herself out, only to slip back in. Alpha Rowan reached for her, but she pushed his hand away. She wasn't weak; she could manage to get out herself.He let her try, again and again, until she finally broke down in sobs, attempting to crawl out. She avoided his gaze, afraid of the pity she'd find in his eyes. One final attempt saw her falling forward, bracing for the impact of the tub

As Rowan handed his sword to Elvis, he discarded the wedding band onto the floor and opened the locket. Inside were two women—one with blonde hair and vibrant green eyes, cradling a small girl in her arms. He pulled the picture from its confines and tossed it to Elvis. "Have Dennis scour the villages in Eldavis. Eliminate them on sight."The man lunged, growling and roaring, validating Rowan's suspicions. Rogues often behaved similarly. They severed ties with their families because Rowan was merciful enough to punish only the wrongdoer. Yet today, he lacked the will to show mercy. His subjects had perished, and the council of elders and Alphas demanded action. Burn the villages along the border. Execute all rogues!Elvis stared at him in shock but said nothing as he quickly left the room. The rogue snarled, rage blazing in his eyes as he struggled against the chains binding him. "I'll kill you!"Leaning back in his chair, Rowan crossed his ankle over his knee and rested his head again

In the Rise City There's a fire.Nerissa wheezes as she grabs her night robe from its stand, quickly draping it around herself. The sound of panicked servants reverberates through the hall."The stables!""The ladder!""Water!"She collides with Alpha David in the hallway. His maroon gaze briefly lingers on her, darkening with lust, and she fights the urge to roll her eyes. "What's happening?""It seems we may be under attack by rogues," he murmurs, his eyes straying to her chest. "You should rest. This is being handled, princess."Nerissa frowns. "The castle hasn't been invaded in ages. How did they breach the wall? Have they been captured?" She takes a cautious step forward, but David blocks her way."Don't concern yourself with such matters. It doesn't befit you. No one appreciates a nosy woman. Join your mother in the Grand Hall with the other women. Your father and I will take care of it."She stares at him, her lips parting in disbelief. "Nosy? Who do you think you are, telling
