All Chapters of REJECTED, Then Becoming King's Adorable Omega: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

CELESTE POVThe air was thick with the scent of wood smoke, damp earth, and the metallic tang of blood from injured omegas, beaten and wounded because they failed to complete their work.It wasn't something new in the Blood Moon Packhouse. It was a known fact that if you didn't get to finish the work that was given to you at the designated time, you'd be seeking a death sentence.No one ever disobeys the alpha's wishes. The alpha and others were higher in status than the omega.My name was Celeste Ravaryn, twenty-two years old, born an omega, and the daughter of a disgraced warrior who was executed for betraying the pack house. I witnessed his death at the age of fourteen. The Alpha had ordered for him to be whipped fifty times, even after being unconscious from being forced to drink five bottles of whiskey. After that, he was beheaded, and his head was placed on a wooden stake for everyone to see and mock.Betrayal in the Blood Moon Packhouse wasn't something to be taken lightly; hen
