Seraphina

Aria Calloway’s life has one golden rule: stay invisible. It’s the only way for an omega like her to survive, especially since her father’s death in a pack war still wakes her up screaming. 
So, it's baggy clothes, fake glasses, and sticking to the shadows, because the last thing she needs is attention from someone like Lucian Monroe.
 He's the Head Alpha’s son, all dangerous charm and campus royalty, basically everything she’s not. 
But a literal collision in the hallway is just the start, and then he even, bizarrely, defends her from his own crew. Things really spiral at her friend Caleb's party. How do you go back to being invisible when the most powerful guy on campus just branded you with a lie, and what happens when the aftermath of that "mistake" is something neither of them can ignore?

The Alpha’s Rejected MATE

Chapter 18: Court Confrontation and a Secret Doctor Visit


The ball hit my palm with a satisfying smack. I clutched it tight, my eyes narrowing at Lucian standing across the court.


"Hey, nerd! Pass the ball!" Lucian shouted, his voice mockingly sweet as he gestured for me to throw it to him.


The gym buzzed with tension. Everyone watched, waiting to see what the rejected omega would do when faced with her mate's command. A week ago, I would have meekly obeyed, perhaps even apologized for holding onto the ball too long.


I locked eyes with him and threw the ball—hard. It sailed through the air and slammed directly into his chest. Lucian caught it with a grunt, his eyes widening in shock.


"There you go," I called out, my voice carrying across the court. "I passed it."


Caleb appeared beside me, a grin spreading across his face. "That's my girl! Show them what you're made of!"
