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 16: A Phone Call and a Brother's Questions


I couldn't believe I was actually following Lucian and Gareth through the pack house. Every step felt like torture. My wolf, who had been dormant for days after the rejection, was now howling inside me, desperate to be near her mate. I hated how my body betrayed me this way.


We walked past several corridors adorned with fancy artwork. The Midnight Sun Pack house was truly magnificent—much nicer than the small cottage Mom and I lived in at the edge of pack territory.


"So, Aria," Gareth said, breaking the awkward silence, "I heard your eighteenth birthday is coming up soon. Any special plans?"


I shook my head. "Nothing special. Just dinner with my mom."


"Eighteenth, huh?" Gareth smiled. "That's a big one for werewolves."


"Why do you care about her birthday?" Lucian snapped, glaring at his friend.
