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 69: Cafeteria Violence and a Courageous Stand


"I honestly don't know why he's bothering me, Caleb," I said, staring down at my untouched lunch. The cafeteria buzzed with the usual midday chaos around us, but I felt isolated in my frustration. "I'm just so tired of it."


My shoulders slumped as I pushed my tray away. The constant tension of watching for Lucian, wondering when he'd next appear to torment me, was draining me completely.


"He's been following you, cornering you," Caleb's face hardened as he leaned closer. "That's harassment, Aria. You shouldn't have to live like this."


Vivienne, sitting across from us, studied my face with concern. She'd barely touched her salad, too focused on our conversation.


"You know," she said thoughtfully, twirling her fork, "maybe what you need is a boyfriend."
