Chapter 5

Author: Alyssa J
(Third person’s POV)

The first day Sophia was gone, something in Caine felt off.

No one had the files pre-sorted by priority in the council hall. No one set a cup of black coffee at his elbow before a meeting, brewed to the exact temperature, not too hot, not too cold.

He frowned and blamed it on Dray being slow.

On the third day, he stalled for a long time over a contract.

Normally Sophia left a small note beside the critical clauses, flagging where the traps were, where he needed to add a prot

  • The Omega the Alpha Threw Away Was True Heiress   Chapter 11

    The instant the trigger pulled, a figure threw itself across the space.The silver bullet caught Caine square in the heart.He staggered, then crashed down onto the steps in front of me, blood surging from his chest, spreading dark across the tiles.I stood there, and what I felt was complicated.Then, the next second, the cold came back over me.Once, I had thrown myself in front of him the same way, without a thought for myself.And he hadn't spared me a single look. He'd turned and carried Celina—who had a scratch, nothing more—into the safe room.Two warriors had Celina pinned. Her face was nothing but raw, frenzied hate.“Why couldn't it have been you,” she shrieked at me. “This is your fault. If it weren't for you, Caine never would have noticed what I'd done. It's all your fault.”My father's face went black as a storm.The crushing weight of the Alpha King's aura blew out with no warning, and the whole hall shuddered faintly under it.Celina dropped as if an invisible hand had

    Caine stood frozen, his head roaring.Princess? Heir to the North?The Omega he'd told to her face not to believe in fairy tales—was the daughter of the Alpha King?“You—” His mouth opened.“Out.” There was no feeling in the Alpha King's voice at all. He lifted a hand toward the warriors behind him. “My daughter's affairs are no concern of yours.”The warriors moved in and seized Caine by the arms.“Wait,” Caine fought against them. “Sophia, hear me out—”I didn't look at him.“Take him out.”As they dragged him from the hall, his face was white as paper, but his eyes stayed locked on me, like he was trying to carve me into them.When the banquet ended, I walked out the palace doors.Caine was still standing outside, a great armful of white lily of the valley against his chest, a ring box still in his hand.He stood ramrod-straight in the night wind, and none of it could cover the ruin underneath.“Sophia.” He rushed forward, his voice all pleading. “I picked these myself. You always w

    (Sophia’s POV)In the banquet hall, the crystal chandeliers spilled soft light over everything.I stood with a glass in hand, seven or eight young, handsome Alphas crowded around me, falling over each other to please me, the talk drifting from the beauty of the North to what kind of gifts I liked.I kept a gracious smile in place, though my mind wasn't on a single word of it.A stir went through the crowd.I looked up and saw Caine walk in.He looked wrecked. Deep shadows under his eyes, his cheeks hollowed out, the once-straight line of his back faintly stooped, a worn-down, hollowed-out air clinging to all of him.His gaze swept the room and snapped to a stop on me.In that instant something lit in his eyes, disbelieving, almost joyful, and he came at me half-shoving through the crowd and caught my wrist.“Sophia.” His voice was hoarse and urgent. “What are you doing here? I've been looking for you everywhere. Do you have any idea how worried I've been?”I looked down at the hand gri

  • The Omega the Alpha Threw Away Was True Heiress   Chapter 8

    (Third person’s POV)The words went into Caine's chest like a branding iron driven home.His throat flooded with copper, and he swallowed back the mouthful of blood that nearly came up.He swept a cold look over Celina.“Dray. Take men to River and raze it. The whole pack.” His voice was pure murder. “Leave no one alive.”Celina's pupils contracted.“Caine, wait—” She thrashed against the chains, the iron clanging. “I can help you get her back. I can—”“Too late.” He turned.“Please—” Her voice climbed to a shriek. “Caine, I'm begging you—”He didn't look back.He led the assault on River himself.The wound in his chest was still seeping, his left arm barely able to lift.But the instant he shifted, all of it drowned under something darker and more savage.The River warriors scrambled to meet him and were no match at all.Caine ran at the front, fangs tearing through every body that stood in his way, as if that were the only outlet the storm in his chest could find.The stench of blood

  • The Omega the Alpha Threw Away Was True Heiress   Chapter 7

    (Third person’s POV)In the moment the pain and the betrayal went off together, only one thought was left in Caine's head.What had it felt like for Sophia.When she was framed. When she was exiled.She'd still been wounded then.Had she felt this too—every breath coming with a tearing edge to it?He couldn't even imagine how deep that despair had run.Rage swallowed every shred of reason.A suffocating Alpha aura blew out of him, and the air across the whole hall warped under the pressure.The nearest River warriors were flung straight off their feet, smashing through the round tables behind them.“Kill them.”That was all he said.The Silver Moon warriors snapped to it, turning from caught-off-guard to counterattack in a heartbeat, steel flashing as the fight ripped the hall apart.Caine pulled the silver dagger from his chest. Blood gushed from the wound, but he couldn't feel the pain.Or rather—next to the deeper wound inside him, that pain didn't even register.He drove into the t

  • The Omega the Alpha Threw Away Was True Heiress   Chapter 6

    (Third person’s POV)On the day of the mating ceremony, Caine couldn't sit still.Dray had been searching for Sophia for ten days. Not a word had come back.He sat in the dressing room and let the attendants fix his tie, his mind a blank.He thought of the line of her downturned face when she sorted files.The way she always tasted his drink first to check the temperature.The wound she'd taken shielding him from a rogue.He shut his eyes, and the dull ache rolled through his stomach again.The ceremony hall was packed. Delegates from all seventeen Eastern packs had come, the mood solemn and charged.Caine stood before the altar, his gaze unfocused.Celina came toward him in a gown of pure white, smiling bright, and slid her arm through his.The officiant began to read the vows.“Do you take...”A face flashed through Caine's mind.Not the carefully made-up face in front of him. Another one—streaked with blood, jaw clenched, a face that had never once cried out in pain in front of him.
