Epilogue Also By Layla Sparks Thank you so much for reading! Omegaverse Terms A few things to know regarding the omegaverse world. The people in the omegaverse display a more canine or wolflike behavior. Some books involve shifting into wolves. This series will have minimal to no shifting. Here are some terms that will be helpful to know (*note: these definitions pertain to my stories): Omega: A female or male who would often have multiple partners to help them during heats. Usually has a particular scent that alphas find very appealing and unable to resist. Beta: Like a normal human Alpha: Top of the food chain, and they gravitate to omegas. They also have a scent to attract omegas. Delta: Ferocious and deadly, typically guards and second in command to alphas Slick: Secretion from the privates Heat: A period where an omega needs to mate - akin to ovulating in human females. Knot: When an alpha mates an omega— and the base of the penis swells, locking the alpha and omega in place for impregnation Rut: Alphas can go into rut phase, similar to heat. Sometimes an omega’s heat will bring it on. Scent blockers: Can come in pills or as a cream. Blocks an omega scent from attracting alphas. Heat Suppressants: Stops an omega from going into heat Trigger Warnings: Mention of miscarriage, Child Kidnapping, Pregnancy, Backdoor Play Prologue Vanessa “Take her,” ordered King Armon. My life seemed to be crumbling before my eyes. My hands wrapped protectively over my pregnant belly. King Armon had just announced he would put me up for auction after my baby was born. And the Royal Pack would keep the baby. I studied his face to see if he was serious, and he looked like he was. It was his daughter that I helped get kidnapped, after all. I should have never trusted Voss. He was only watching out for himself. I had told him where Princess Lyra would be so he could kidnap her for a remote village, gain his people’s trust, and take over the kingdom. I didn’t think he’d actually try to kill her. The room seemed to spin after King Armon gave his final verdict. I couldn’t believe it. Maybe I deserved it. The guards grabbed my arms, and I didn’t have the strength to fight them as they walked me down the stairs. Was I going to live in the dungeons now? Everything got darker and darker the further down we walked. Fear gripped my heart as they opened a cell door as if I was a prisoner. There was nothing but a bare dirty mattress on the stone floor. “Are you serious?” I shouted at them. They shoved me inside and shut the door, locking it behind them. Without a word, the two guards clomped up the stairs. I was still gripping the cold metal bars by the time the deathly silence reigned around me. The steady drip drip of water above me and the howl of the cold gust of air swirling around were frightening. “Let me go!” I screamed again, shaking the bars. After all my hard work and determination to climb the social ladder, this is where I would end up in. Tears burned in my eyes as I released the cold metal bars. The darkness around me was overwhelming, and I shut my eyes tight. Maybe I was in a nightmare. I opened my eyes, still seeing that I was trapped down here. I lifted my dress as I walked towards the filthy mattress on the ground. My dress was drenched at the edges as I gingerly sat cross-legged on the mattress. I rubbed my hand over my belly protectively. I had to get the hell out of here with my baby intact. The Royal Pack would not take my baby. Especially if my baby was going to be raised by the old hag Queen Ophelia. I did nothing but try to better my life after meeting King Armon at the Omega Ball last year. I remembered the night as if it was yesterday… “Stand up straight bitch,” said Aunt Helen. Aunt Helen took me in when I was twelve, after my parents died during the Great Moon Revolt. She was strict along with my Uncle Gabe. I straightened my shoulders as we walked into the Omega Ball. I never saw anything like it. Lights and chandeliers everywhere. Musicians were playing their instruments, and there were beautiful people everywhere. I swallowed with nervousness. I had to impress an alpha pack, or else I’d have to go home with my aunt and uncle tonight. I fucking hated them. The isolation and the lonely little closet they’d put in me were too much to bear. I needed out, and I would do anything to get an alpha’s attention tonight. And I did. The night at the Omega Ball was the most magical fucking night of my life. The kings had fallen for me, and despite the existing omega in their relationship, they still took me in with open arms. They secretly courted me one by one, even though rumors about us were spread all over Howl’s Edge island. All they wanted was a
