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 45: An Ancient Text and a Forbidden Truth


The university library was quiet this afternoon, only the occasional whisper or rustle of pages breaking the silence. I tucked myself into a secluded corner, away from prying eyes. My mind kept replaying Lucian's apology from yesterday.


Two simple words that had come too late. Words that couldn't erase the humiliation of his public rejection or the strange pain that had plagued me since.


I rubbed my back absently, wincing at the tenderness. The branch-like marks that had appeared after Lucian rejected me seemed to be spreading, a constant reminder of what I'd lost. My wolf had grown weaker too, her once vibrant presence now barely a whisper in my mind.


"Focus," I muttered to myself, turning my attention to the ancient texts section. I'd come here searching for answers, not to dwell on Lucian Monroe.
