The phone slipped from my hands, hitting the floor with a dull thud. My legs wobbled, and I collapsed onto the couch, staring blankly at the screen. My mind refused to comprehend the reality before me.
“She’s pregnant,” I whispered, my voice cracking. Saying it aloud made it real, an inescapable truth that shattered what little was left of my heart
The room spun, my emotions a maelstrom of rage, despair, and disbelief. My wolf howled in my mind, her grief mingling with mine. Anger coursed through me, raw and unrelenting. But beneath it all was a quiet, devastating
realization.
This was the end. The final blow. And maybe, just maybe, it was what I needed to finally let him go.
The room felt suffocatingly quiet. Shadows danced across the walls as I sank onto the couch, my legs giving out
beneath me.
The silence pressed against my ears, so thick it was almost tangible. My hands trembled as I buried my face in them, trying to contain the storm raging inside me
Memories rushed through my mind, each one sharp and vivid, like shards of glass cutting into my s
soul.
Darius laughing as we ran through the forest, his hand wrapped around mine. Darius shielding me from the
teasing of the older wolves, standing tall and defiant. Darius whispering promises under the silver glow of the moon, his voice steady and certain.

AFTER REJECTION THE OMEGARISES
He had always been my protector. My constant. Ever since we were children, he was there, watching over me. stepping in when things got rough. We were inseparable, bound not just by our pack, but by something deeper. A
friendship that grew into love. A love that, I thought, was unshakable
But then Selene came into our lives.
She was delicate, like a porcelain doll, her pale skin and soft voice always evoking sympathy. She was the kind of girl people wanted to shield, to care for. And Darius, with his natural inclination to protect, was drawn to her like a moth to a flame.
At first, I told myself it was just him being kind, that it didn’t mean anything, that he’d always choose me in the
end.
Even when I found her diary, its pages filled with declarations of love for Darius, I ignored it. My heart clung to the words he’d said to me: I love you, Nia. That should’ve been enough. It should’ve been unshakable
But slowly, insidiously, things began to change. The bond we had once shared felt stretched thin, like a thread about to snap.
I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as the memories turned bitter. My friends had warned me, hadn’t they? Told me to keep an eye out, to be wary. But I’d laughed it off, too confident in what Darius and I shared,
And now, here I was. Alone. Broken. Betrayed by the one person I trusted most.
Anger bubbled beneath the surface, hot and wild. How could he? How could he do this to me, to us? The question echoed in my mind, relentless and unanswered.
My voice wavered as I whispered, “How could he?” It felt like shouting into a void, the sound swallowed by the oppressive silence of the room.
My wolf stirred within me, her growl low and furious. She was as hurt as I was, her fury mirroring my own. She wanted to lash out, to unleash her rage on everything in sight. But even she couldn’t heal the gaping wound in my
chest. The betrayal was too deep, too consuming
Memories of our childhood played like a cruel montage in my mind.
The Darius I used to know, the boy who’d promised to stand by me forever, was gone. Replaced by someone I no longer recognized. Someone who had chosen Selene over me
Selene.
