Bistas_She

Cassia Phoenix always dreamed her mate would be her refuge—the one to give her the home she never had, the life she craved. But fate is cruel, and dreams are lies wrapped in pretty promises.

When she finally finds her mate, it’s not salvation. It’s a sentence. 

He’s already claimed by another, and she's nothing more than a mistake he’s determined to erase. Every day, he reminds her that she is unwanted. Unworthy. Unloved.

Being an omega, She spent her life on the fringes of her pack, invisible and expendable. But this? This is worse. 

So she runs.

To Winter Lake, a place that shouldn’t exist, where the rules of the world don’t apply. There, she might find a sliver of peace—if her mate doesn’t hunt her down, and if the powerful alpha of this forbidden pack doesn’t discover the truth about who she is. About what she is.

Staying is dangerous. Impossible, even. But then there’s him. The brown-eyed shifter who saves her from the storm, whose strength and promises make her question everything she thought she knew about fate, loyalty, and belonging. He makes her want to stay. To fight. To believe.

But when she’s spent her entire life running, how does she stop?

Cassia: The Alpha King's Outcast Omega

It's been over an hour since Lucian took Minerva to the hospital. In that time, I've been doing a lot of thinking. Mostly while out in the garden.

I've thought about Lucian, Minerva, Orion, and my baby. But most of all, I've been thinking about Lucian.

Winter Lake was only ever supposed to be a place I could stop running for a while and figure out what my next steps would be.

I was tired of the motels, and tired of my life.

But for a few days, I wasn't anymore. I caught up on my sleep; I ate more than I have since I left the Frost pack. I read, I failed at gardening, and I learned to laugh.

My eyes go to the freshly turned soil where Lucian and I failed at gardening together, and I want to cry again, even though I know I need to stop. Soon Lucian will be back and then I'll leave. Forever.

Hope Never Makes Sense
