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 65: A Son's Defiance and an Unexpected Encounter


"You're a disappointment, Lucian. Do you understand that?" My father's voice boomed through his office.


I stood there, jaw clenched, refusing to flinch under his glare. The tension in the room was suffocating.


"A future Alpha needs stability. Control. A suitable mate. You have none of those things!"


"Damien, please." My mother, Luna Cassandra, placed her hand on his arm. "Yelling won't solve anything."


I laughed bitterly. "Listen to Mother. Yelling just makes you look weak."


My father's eyes flashed dangerously. "Watch your tongue, boy."


"Or what?" I challenged, taking a step forward. "You'll punish me? Take away my allowance? News flash, Father—I'm not a child anymore."


"Then stop acting like one!" He slammed his fist on the desk, making my mother jump. "No responsibility, no commitment, just parties and... and girls!"
