My Sister Stole My Mate And I Let Her (Seraphina) novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429: Chapter 429 WORTHLESS OMEGA

SERAPHINA’S POV

We didn’t waste another second in the inn.

We hadn’t unpacked, so there was nothing to pack.

Once the Omega’s restraints were off and the purchase was completed, we were out of there.

When we stepped out of the inn, the night air hit differently.

It wasn’t just the coolness or damp earth on the breeze—it was an underlying shift. Subtle. Tense.

Or maybe it was just the urgency pumping adrenaline into my veins.

“Straight to the tree line,” I whispered, not breaking stride.

The Omega walked between Kieran and me, but I could still feel his presence—razor-edged and vigilant, his head on a swivel.

“I don’t like how quiet it is,” he murmured.

“Neither do I.”

Behind us, the inn loomed, its windows dim, its structure deceptively ordinary. If I hadn’t known what lay beneath, I’d have believed it was just another stop along the road.

Between us, the Omega kept pace with ours. She hadn’t said a single word since we left the inn. Hadn’t even looked me in the eye.

Despite her stoicism and silence, a charged energy radiated from her, like a quiet storm sealed beneath glass.

Ahead of us, the path curved toward the outer boundary. We were halfway there when the night’s silence broke.

We stopped.

Kieran was instantly at my side, his body angling forward, already positioning himself between me and the direction the threat was coming from.

“Well,” he said under his breath, almost dry, “there it is.”

Figures emerged from the shadows ahead, then from the sides, cutting off the path.

Thick builds. Scarred faces. Eyes blazing with the promise of violence.

From between them, Kristine stepped forward, looking calm and composed, like she had expected this exact moment to unfold.

The manager’s gaze slid over us, pausing briefly on me before shifting—calculating, assessing—toward the Omega.

“There’s no need to rush,” she said smoothly.

I didn’t respond.

Neither did Kieran, but despite the scent-masking perfume, the familiar scent of cedar and rain filtered into the air, and I knew Ashar was ready.

The thugs spread out behind Kristine, forming a loose semicircle.

“You’ve made quite an impression tonight,” she continued. “The owner...noticed.”

Of course they did.

“You crossed a line most wouldn’t even dare to look at,” she added, tilting her head. “Bold. Reckless. Interesting.”

“Get to the point,” I snapped.

Her cold smile didn’t falter. “Very well.”

Her gaze shifted to the Omega. I stepped to the side, blocking her from view.

“If you’re willing to leave the girl behind,” Kristine said, her voice deceptively light, “the owner is prepared to offer you something...valuable in return.”

“And what is that?”

“A special deal,” she answered. “Help finding your missing brother.”

A pause.

Then, softer: “Or if you’re ready to drop the pretense, you could ask for what you really came here for, and it will be granted.”

Honestly, I wasn’t even surprised we’d been found out. This place traded in secrets the way others traded in currency.

My silence stretched.

Kristine watched me carefully, as if measuring the exact moment I might bend.

“Lena,” she said gently, “or whatever your real name is. Surely, your goal is more valuable than a worthless Omega.”

Kieran scoffed. “Quite an entourage for a ‘worthless Omega’.”

In a movement that was so tiny it was almost imperceptible, I felt a tug on my cloak.

And then, so soft, I might not have heard it if all my senses weren’t on high alert: “Please.”

Her posture was the same. Her empty expression unchanged.

But I felt it nonetheless—her despair. It wafted off her like a bad smell.

That did it.

My resolution hardened.

I exhaled slowly. “No.”

The word didn’t need volume; it carried anyway.

Kristine’s expression didn’t change.

“You should think carefully,” she said, her tone still calm. “Opportunities like this don’t come twice.”

“You should listen carefully,” I replied. “I’m not trading her for anything.”

Kristine studied me for a long moment.

Then her smile thinned as she took a pointed step backward. “That’s unfortunate.”

The shift came instantly.

I didn’t even need to think. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
