"At 18, Still a Virgin, the Rejected Omega Was Forced to Marry a King 30 Years Older Than Her — What He Whispered on Their Wedding Night Changed Everything" / Chapter 4 / 15

Chapter 4 - The Betrayal of the Clan

The atmosphere inside the war council chamber was suffocating.

"We should hand her back!" one of the senior generals argued, slamming his fist onto the map table. "We cannot risk a border war over an Omega girl, no matter what magic trick she pulled with the relic!"

"She is the Queen of this realm!" Walter growled, slamming his own hand down hard enough to splinter the heavy wood. "Anyone who suggests surrendering my wife to an enemy will answer to my blade."

I stood in the corner of the room, feeling the weight of the conflict crushing down on me. It was always like this—men deciding my fate while I stood in the shadows. But I wasn't the weak, frightened girl who had been thrown into a carriage anymore. The warmth in my chest was growing stronger every hour.

"Walter," I spoke up, my voice trembling slightly but clear.

The war council turned to look at me in surprise.

"Alpha Corvin didn't march here for an alliance or revenge," I said, stepping toward the table. "He found out what I am. He must have realized that the red cord was a seal placed on my power. He sold me thinking I was useless, but the moment the blood moon rose, he realized his mistake."

Walter watched me closely, his gaze softening slightly. "What are you saying, my Queen?"

"He wants to use my blood," I replied, looking straight into Walter's eyes. "My former clan had an ancient altar. They sacrificed Omegas to absorb their life force. Corvin wants to recapture me before my full power awakens, so he can claim the Eclipse power for himself."

Suddenly, the side door of the chamber burst open. Lord Garron stepped in, accompanied by four heavily armed guards.

"Forgive me, Your Grace," Garron said with a cold, sinister smile. "But the council has voted. To prevent a unnecessary war with the Southern Coalition, we have arranged a peaceful transfer."

Before Walter could draw his sword, two guards aimed loaded crossbows directly at Walter's chest, while Garron drew a silver dagger laced with wolfsbane poison.

"Touch your weapon, King Walter, and you die," Garron hissed. "The southern Alpha offered us gold and half his territory in exchange for the girl. It's just good business."

"Garron... you traitor," Walter spat, his muscles tense, ready to spring despite the arrows pointed at his heart.

"Take her," Garron ordered the guards.

My sister flung my ten-year-old son's Christmas gift across her marble kitchen, and the tiny wooden roof snapped against the tile. My brother laughed. Timothy crouched to collect the pieces, but I caught his hand before he could touch them. By morning, an envelope would make my sister's hands shake.

For twelve years, my mother had persuaded everyone in our hometown that I'd turned my back on my family to build a career in the Navy. At my father's memorial service, she publicly shamed me in a packed church and ordered me to take off my military uniform. I was ready to walk away when a retired general rose from his seat with Dad's final letter in his hand and said, "Before you humiliate your daughter one more time, Helen, these people deserve to know the truth."

My husband sl3pped me across the face in front of his entire family and shouted, “Get out of my house! You don't belong here anymore!” Behind him, my mother-in-law smiled with satisfaction, certain she had finally succeeded in driving me away. What neither of them knew was that I secretly owned the mansion they were standing in—and the $10,000 my mother-in-law spent every month on designer clothes, luxury holidays, and personal comforts came straight from my bank account. They thought they were throwing out a helpless woman. They had no idea they were about to lose everything…

Two men grabbed my arms, dragging me toward the hidden passages beneath the castle. I locked eyes with Walter as they pulled me away.

"I will come for you!" Walter roared, his Alpha voice shaking the very foundation of the stone walls. "I will tear down the world until I find you!"

gifts to “the grandchildren who made us proud this year,” and my two kids sat on the carpet with empty hands while their cousin tore open a tablet, sneakers, a drone, and gift cards. My eleven-year-old daughter kept smiling because she thought maybe her name was on the next box. My nine-year-old son whispered, “Dad, did Santa forget Grandma’s house?” Then my brother’s son leaned toward them and said, “Guess you didn’t deserve one.” My mother laughed like it was cute. My father looked at me like I was the problem for noticing. I did not yell. I did not ruin dinner. I helped my children put on their coats and drove two hours home through freezing rain. By morning, I had sent one text that finally ended the role my family had assigned us.

For seven years, I paid my parents' propane and electric bills because Dad promised their Vermont farmhouse would someday be mine. At Christmas dinner, he read his new will aloud and left the house and twelve acres to my sister. Then he gave me his old hair dryer, and everyone laughed. I left without revealing the Christmas present hidden in my coat pocket. Three weeks later, during a brutal cold snap, Dad came knocking at my door...

At a family dinner, I stood up smiling and announced I was pregnant. The whole table went completely silent — then my mother-in-law suddenly let out a laugh and yelled: “She’s pretending to be pregnant just to milk money from us!” Before anyone could even react, she seized my hand and pushed me off the hotel rooftop to “prove” I was faking it. Broken and barely conscious, I came to in the hospital with my husband by my side, pale as a ghost and shaking. But the moment the doctor stepped in and opened his mouth, the words he said made the entire room freeze in utter disbelief and horror.
