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 49: Wedding Gowns and Whispers of Love


I threw myself into wedding preparations like my life depended on it. After everything that happened with Lucian and Sloane in the cafeteria, I needed a distraction. My mother's wedding was the perfect escape.


"Aria, what do you think of these flowers?" My mother held up a photo of white lilies and blue hydrangeas.


"They're perfect, Mom," I smiled, genuinely happy for her. The way her eyes lit up when talking about Alaric warmed my heart.


"Diana gave me extra money for our dresses," I told Vivienne over the phone that evening. "Want to go shopping tomorrow? Bring Debra too. And I'll ask Caleb if he wants to join."


The next morning, we met at the entrance of Moonlight Mall, the fanciest shopping center in town.


"You look stressed," Caleb said, giving me a quick hug. "Everything okay?"


I forced a smile. "Just wedding stuff."
