ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 174
Raina’s POV The car hums steadily, its engine a low, persistent drone that blends with the crunch of gravel beneath the tires. My arms are crossed over my chest, my shoulders rigid as I sit lost in thought. I try to focus on the road ahead, on the trees blurring past the window, on anything but the gnawing unease in my chest. It doesn’t work. No matter how hard I try, my thoughts keep circling back to Eleanor. She’s calm as she drives, her hands steady on the wheel. Her expression is composed, focused, almost serene. It would be easy to take comfort in her confidence, to let her quiet leadership lull us into a sense of safety. But I can’t. I’ve never been wrong about someone’s aura. Not once. And Eleanor’s... hers is a tangled mess. There’s darkness there, hidden beneath her kind smiles and steady demeanor. It clings to her like a shadow, heavy and suffocating. She’s been good to us, though. I can’t deny that. I glance at Jenna sitting beside me, her face turned toward the windo

Jenna’s POVThe countryside in Atlanta stretches out before us, a patchwork of rolling fields and clusters of trees. The land has a kind of serene beauty, the golden light of the late afternoon casting long shadows over the hills. It should feel peaceful, but all I can feel is a growing tension building in my chest. Ahead of us, a small farmhouse comes into view, its white paint fresh and neat, the small vegetable garden off to one side giving it a touch of charm. It’s the kind of place that makes you think of quiet mornings and simple living. Yet, something about it feels off. The stillness here isn’t peaceful—it’s heavy. Eleanor slows the car as we approach the driveway, easing it to a stop just short of pulling in. She surveys the house through the windshield, her sharp eyes scanning every detail. After a moment, she turns toward us, her expression unreadable. “Wait here,” she says, her voice calm but firm. “I’ll go in alone.” Greta leans back in her seat with a smirk. “Silas i

Jenna’s POVThe house looms ahead, its weathered exterior standing out against the surrounding countryside. It’s quiet here, eerily so, the kind of quiet that sets your nerves on edge. I glance at the others as we huddle by the car. There’s an unspoken tension in the air, like we’re all bracing for whatever comes next. Eleanor crosses her arms, her gaze fixed on the house. “Two of us should go to the door. No more than that.” Greta nods, glancing at me. “It should be you and Eleanor. You’re both strong enough to handle whatever’s behind that door, and you’ve got the temperament for this.” I suppress a sigh, though I can’t argue with her reasoning. She’s right. The others might panic if things go south, and we can’t afford that. “Fine,” I say, stepping forward. “Let’s get this over with.” Eleanor gives me a small nod of approval, and together, we make our way toward the house. The wooden porch creaks under our weight, the sound unnaturally loud in the stillness. Eleanor knocks on

Jack’s POVI never thought I’d see her again. The moment I stepped towards the door and saw her standing there, it felt as though the ground beneath me shifted. For a second, I wasn’t in this house, wasn’t in this life—I was back in the forest, right there in the cave, where our bond had first called out to us, staring into those wide, heartbroken eyes as I tore her world apart. Jenna. Her name roars through my mind, and my wolf surges to the surface, clawing at me with a ferocity I haven’t felt in years. It takes everything I have to keep control, to push him back. But my body betrays me: my heart pounds, my muscles tense, and my senses go haywire, taking in everything about her. The faintest hint of her scent—pine and wildflowers—hits me, and I feel like I’ve been punched in the gut. Why is she here? How is she here? I can’t stop the memories from flooding back, vivid and relentless. That morning… "Hades will freeze over before I accept an omega as my mate.” Those were the wo

Jenna’s POV Jack. His name echoes in my mind, loud and relentless, breaking through the walls I’ve spent years building. The man who rejected me, shattered me, is standing here, just as commanding as he was all those years ago. No, not just commanding—undeniable.I feel him in the room, a magnetic pull that draws every nerve in my body toward him. His hazel eyes lock onto mine, burning with an intensity that makes my knees weak, the same way they did that morning in the cave when we first met. My heart betrays me now as much as it did then, thrumming wildly despite everything I’ve been through. Seeing Jack again feels like having my past ripped open. My heart races as we leave the house, but I keep my head high. My wolf is restless, pacing inside me, urging me to turn back, to run to him. I hate how loud she is. I hate how loud he is in my mind. The others are quiet as we reach the car, but the moment the doors close, the silence breaks. “That was him, wasn’t it?” Raina blurts,

Jack’s POVI can't believe that I had agreed on a whim to let them stay the night. They'd talked about the council, some sort of group of humans who were out to attack and kill our kind. For all I know, they would have led the council's men here; we could all be in danger. Jordan was not going to be happy if he heard of it. As if my mind has conjured him up, Jordan appears at the door, his eyes speaking right before he opens his mouth. “What is going on? And why are those strangers still in the living room?” “They do not have a place of their own. They had come to warn us of the council. They say that the council is made up of humans who attack and kill our kind, it wouldn't be long before they sniff us out. They want us to form an alliance to fight back.”Jordan shakes his head as he strides further into the room. “And what did you tell them?”I look towards the wall where the picture of the woman who had owned this room hangs. Eldris had let me take his mother's room, he said it

Jenna’s POVWe’re halfway back to the house when the door creaks open, and a familiar figure steps out. Violet. Even in the dim light, her presence is striking. She moves with a confidence that commands attention, her dark hair flowing in loose waves, her frame poised but tense. Even after all these years, she still looks the same. Flawless. Gorgeous. She glances between me and Jack, her gaze lingering on him a little too long. “Violet,” Jack says sharply, his tone laced with irritation. She had disobeyed him by coming out, Jack hates when rules are not followed. I can't believe that I still remember that about him. Her eyes snap to him, and there’s a flicker of defiance in her expression. “I heard voices,” she says, her tone casual but pointed. “I wanted to be sure that you're safe.” Jack’s jaw tightens, his hands curling into fists at his sides. He doesn't look like he's very comfortable having this conversation in my presence, but it's hard to pretend to be invisible. My youn

Jenna’s POV The night is agonizing. No matter how many times I turn over, trying to find some semblance of comfort on the well used couch, sleep refuses to come. My wolf is restless, clawing at the edges of my mind, her energy rippling through me in waves. Her need to get closer to Jack is suffocating, a primal pull that I fight with everything I have. He’s here, she whispers. Why are you fighting this?But I can’t give in. I can’t let her dictate my actions, not now, not ever. Every time I close my eyes, I see his face—those hazel eyes filled with something raw, something dangerous, that I’ve tried to forget. His voice echoes in my mind, low and rough, asking questions that make my defenses crumble. The sun is barely rising when I give up on sleep entirely. My body feels heavy, my mind sluggish, but there’s no point in lying there any longer. Quietly, I get up from the couch, attempting to massage the kink in my neck away. The others are still soundly asleep, their faces serene

ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 219
PrologueJenna’s POVThe house is a haven of warmth and calm, filled with the low hum of contentment. Outside, the world continues to bustle—the sounds of children’s laughter echo through the air, accompanied by the chatter of pack members as they go about their tasks. We’ve built something here, something beautiful, and I never imagined it would feel like this. I sit in a sturdy chair by the window, my feet propped up and my swollen belly cradled gently in my hands. It's almost time—our child is growing inside me, and the thought brings a mixture of joy and anticipation. The days are passing slowly now, each one bringing us closer to the arrival of our little one. And with Jack by my side, I know we can face whatever the future holds. I hear footsteps approaching and look up to see Mia standing in the doorway, a soft smile on her face. She holds a bowl of warm water and a cloth in her hands, her expression a mix of eagerness and affection. “Jenna,” she says, her voice light. “I wa
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 218
Jenna’s POV The next morning, I find Veronica standing by the edge of the clearing, her silhouette framed by the soft light of dawn filtering through the trees. The previous day had been filled with lots of hugs of goodbye. I had witnessed people cry as they'd embraced and promised to stay in touch. Greta had decided to return to her inn and rebuild it again. She had enjoyed the thrill of fighting and was glad that she was on the right side of history, but she needed to rest, and she couldn't think of a better place to do it. Raina and Caleb, though, had chosen to stay with us. And I was more than happy to still have them. Veronica looks serene despite her exhaustion, her posture as graceful as ever. It’s a sight that brings a pang of nostalgia to my chest, a reminder of the countless hours we’d spent together training, laughing, and sharing dreams of a better future. I approach her slowly, hesitant for reasons I can’t quite articulate. She notices me immediately, her lips curvi
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 217
Jack’s POV “Are you both joined together by the hip?” Raina asks as she approaches Jenna and I. Jenna lets out a low chuckle as she disentangles from me and moves towards her friend to warmonger in a hug. “We did it!” I hear her say as she continues to stay in her embrace. Raina rubs her back fondly, returning Jenna's hug with a soft, sad smile. “We did it, even though we're no longer complete.” Jenna steps back and looks at Raina, whose eyes are now wet with tears. “The last thing I expected was Eleanor's betrayal.”Jenna's shoulders slump in sadness as she nods. “At least we still have Greta and Caleb.”Raina smiles again as she clasps Jenna's hands in hers. “At least we still do.” As they continue to talk, Caleb and Greta join them, and I decide to step away and give them the privacy to talk and reunite. As soon as I am a considerable distance away from the group, Zephyr approaches me with a calm but deliberate stride, his golden eyes steady and unreadable. He stops a few f
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 216
Jack’s POV Jenna has returned to the women, helping them with whatever she can and rationing the last of our supplies. I watch her, marveling at how far she’s come. She’s not the same woman I foolishly rejected all those years ago. Jenna has always been brave, but now she’s a force to be reckoned with—a leader in her own right. Her quick wit and relentless courage have saved me more than once, and I know, deep down, that I owe her more than just my life. As she laughs softly at something Raina says, my chest tightens with a mix of pride and longing. Maybe I needed to be stupid enough to let her go back then to realize what I’d lost. Maybe my reckless decision to reject her wasn’t just a mistake but a painful lesson I had to learn to truly see her worth. And gods, she’s worth everything. I watch her for a moment longer, my wolf pacing restlessly within me, yearning to be close to her. The thought of spending the rest of my life with her—of building something lasting when all this
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 215
Jack’s POV The forest is quiet, save for the distant rustle of leaves and the occasional crackle of the embers still smoldering behind us. The air feels heavy, laden with the scent of ash and smoke from Violet’s pyre, and though her flame has burned out, the weight of her memory lingers. I catch sight of Jenna standing with Raina and a few of the other women. They're all talking and laughing, their voices ringing out steady and true. The sound of it makes my heart warm. We might have experienced our own loss, but we had emerged victorious. Jenna is beautiful in a way that makes my chest ache, her blonde hair catching the light and her shoulders held high despite the exhaustion I know she’s feeling. She’s always been like that since we met again—strong, unwavering. My anchor in a storm I was too blind to see for years. As I watch her, my mind drifts back to the look in her eyes earlier, when I spoke about Violet. It wasn’t judgment or anger I saw there, but confusion. Maybe even
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 214
Jenna's POVThe trek through the forest is quiet, somber. Jordan carries Violet’s body in his arms, his face set in a grim mask of determination. None of us speak, but the weight of what we’ve endured is palpable. Every step away from the battlefield feels heavier than the last.We find a small clearing as the sun begins to rise, its pale light filtering through the trees. The others gather around, their expressions weary but resolute. Zephyr and his people—no longer strangers but allies—stand a respectful distance away. Even Veronica, her frailty evident as she leans against Zephyr for support, watches silently.Jordan kneels, carefully laying Violet’s body on the grass. He brushes a strand of her hair away from her face, his hands trembling. “I’m taking her home,” he says, his voice raw. “She deserves to rest where she belonged.”For a moment I wonder whether he even remembers that there is no home for now. “Jordan…” Jack steps forward. “Carrying her all that way isn’t practical. I
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 213
Jenna’s POVAs we prepare to leave the hideout, I look around, still in utter disbelief that it's really over. Blood stains the ground, and the metallic scent of it lingers in the air. The bodies of the council elders lie scattered, their once-mighty forms now lifeless and cold.Violet’s lifeless form rests where she fell, and though I ache to go to her, to pay my last respect, something else draws me forward.Eleanor.She’s still kneeling where we had chained her. She doesn’t look up as I approach, her head bowed, her long hair falling in a curtain around her face.Sue doesn't look up, nor does she say a thing as I approach. I watch her, my heart acting as I recall all that we had been through together. I remember the first day I had arrived the shelter, saved by a wonderful woman by the name Caroline. A kind human that I'd never forget. When I had gotten to the shelter, Eleanor had been one of the sheltered women who had been introduced to me. I had known as soon as I saw her that
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 212
Jenna’s POVThe laughter of the elders grates against every nerve in my body, but it’s Jordan’s raw cry that truly shatters me. The sound of his grief echoes through the chamber, cutting through the taunts and jeers like a blade. Violet’s lifeless body lies in his arms, her sacrifice an unbearable weight on all of us. “Get up, Jordan,” Jack commands, his voice cold and fierce. His hazel eyes are fixed on the elders, blazing with an anger I’ve never seen before. “She gave her life for this fight. Don’t let her sacrifice be in vain.” Jordan doesn’t respond at first, his shoulders shaking as he clings to Violet. But then, something shifts. A low growl rumbles from deep within his chest, growing louder until it fills the room. He lifts his head, his eyes no longer just filled with sorrow but something far darker—pure, unrelenting rage. When he speaks, his voice is guttural, barely human. “You’ll pay for this.” The ground beneath us trembles as Jordan rises, Violet’s body lifelessly la
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 211
Jenna’s POV The battle rages on, each moment more chaotic than the last. The air crackles with energy, the shouts and snarls of my pack mixing with the mocking laughter of the council elders. Blood stains the ground, and the scent of it makes my stomach churn, but I can’t let myself falter. Jack fights with the ferocity of a true Alpha, his hazel eyes blazing as he clashes with the leader of the council. She meets his every move with a smirk, as though she’s toying with him, her power radiating in waves. Nearby, Jordan fights with an unmatched intensity, his movements fueled by both desperation and determination. He’s holding his own against a wiry elder, but I can see the strain in his stance, the exhaustion creeping into his limbs. “Jordan, fall back!” Jack shouts, his voice commanding even amidst the chaos. But Jordan doesn’t retreat. He presses on, his strikes fierce but reckless. I can’t blame him—his daughter had not only betrayed her own pack but had been chained and kept
