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 139: A Heart's Choice and a Ghost from the Past


I sat quietly in Kaelen's car, my mind spinning with Jasper's message. Kaelen wanted me to stay with him tonight. After everything that had happened at the nightclub—seeing Lucian again, his cruel words slicing through me—I should have wanted to be alone. But I didn't.


The past four years flashed through my mind like scenes from a movie I'd watched too many times. My arrival at the Iron Fjord Pack. My broken heart. My determination to rebuild myself from the ashes Lucian had left me in.


I remembered how terrified I'd been of him at first. Everyone whispered about Alpha Kaelen Vane—the ruthless leader, the "biggest bad boy" who made even Lucian's reputation seem tame. His penetrating gaze had intimidated me during our first meeting. I'd trembled as he'd assessed me, certain he would throw me out of his territory.


Instead, he'd given me sanctuary. A home. A chance.
