ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 186
Jack’s POVThe weight of betrayal hangs thick in the air, and I can see it etched into Jenna’s face. Her expression is raw—disbelief, heartbreak, and guilt all tangled together in her wide eyes and trembling lips. It’s the kind of pain that cuts deep, the kind you can’t just shake off. And yet, I can’t say I’m surprised. I had warned myself from the beginning not to fully trust them. Their desperation had been too palpable. But seeing Jenna like this, I almost wish I hadn’t been right. Almost. Eleanor’s knife remains steady at Greta’s throat as the last of us surrender our weapons. Jordan and Violet exchange glances, their stances tense, but they follow my lead. I meet Jenna’s gaze briefly, and the apology in her eyes is unmistakable. She doesn’t say a word, but she doesn’t need to. Her emotions are written all over her face, and for a moment, I feel a pang of something I can’t quite name. As the hunters bark orders, herding us like cattle, a plan begins to take root in my mind. I

Jack’s POV The van’s interior is suffocating, the air thick with tension and the faint scent of blood. Every jolt on the uneven road rattles the metal walls and the people inside. I keep my head low, my arms resting loosely on my knees, but my mind races. I can feel the eyes of my pack on me, searching for answers, waiting for direction. Jenna’s group sits nearby—tense, silent, and wary. When our eyes meet, her gaze softens with understanding. She trusts me now, but the others don’t yet. That’s a problem I’ll have to fix soon. Eldris shifts beside me, his breath hot against my ear as he whispers, "What the bloody hell is really going on?" "You tell me." I shrug. “This isn’t going to end well, Jack. You know that, right?” Jordan leans closer, his tone equally low but filled with frustration. “You’re too calm. They’re leading us straight to a slaughterhouse, and we’re sitting here like sheep.” I glance toward Violet, who’s sitting with her back pressed against the van wall, her f

Jack's POV Her words hang in the air, and for a moment, no one moves. Then Jenna speaks, her voice steady but low. “You’re bluffing.” Eleanor’s smile widens. “Am I?” She gestures to the interior of the van. “Take a look around.” I glance up, and my stomach tightens. Strapped to the walls and floor of the van are small devices, each with a blinking red light. Bombs. A murmur of alarm spreads through the group. Raina’s eyes widen, and Greta’s face goes pale. Even Violet, always the most composed among us, lets out a soft curse under her breath. “I suggest you behave,” Eleanor continues, her tone almost playful now. “Unless you want to see what happens when I press this little button.” She holds up a small remote, her thumb hovering over it. Eldris growls low in his throat, but I shoot him a warning look. Not yet. “You are disgusting, Eleanor. You're the biggest piece of shit for doing this.” Jenna growls, the hairs on her body standing, her voice changing. For a second, I fear th

Jenna’s POVThe council’s house looms before us, a sprawling, fortress-like structure shrouded in shadows. Its high, jagged walls are topped with razor wire, and ominous black towers rise into the night sky, their floodlights sweeping over the grounds like watchful eyes. The very air around the place feels oppressive, heavy with the weight of suffering and despair. As we’re herded closer, I can make out the details—the thick iron gates, the barred windows, the faint, distant cries of prisoners echoing through the night. My stomach churns, dread pooling in my chest. This isn’t a house. It’s a prison. Inside, the hallways are narrow and dimly lit, lined with heavy steel doors. The scent of mildew and sweat hangs in the air, and the faint sound of dripping water adds to the suffocating atmosphere. The hunters lead us forward, their guns never wavering, and the bracelets on our wrists hum softly, draining our strength with every step. We’re not allowed to talk. The hunters bark orders

Jenna’s POVZephyr’s golden eyes glimmer faintly in the dim light of his cell, their intensity muted but not extinguished. He leans heavily against the bars, his strength clearly diminished. The sight of him, once so strong and unyielding, now reduced to this fragile state, makes my chest tighten. “I never thought I’d see you again, little flower,” he murmurs, his voice low and hoarse, barely loud enough to cross the narrow hallway separating us. Hearing that nickname again after so many years sends a wave of warmth through me, thawing the icy fear that’s been gripping my heart since the van door slammed shut. Memories flood back—memories of a time when I’d thought my life was over, only for him to appear like a storm and save me. “Zephyr…” My voice cracks as I speak, the emotions threatening to overwhelm me. “You saved me from those savages. You took me in. Treated me like I was your guest…” He nods, a faint, almost wistful smile tugging at his lips. “I remember.” I grip the bar

Jack's POV“Hades will freeze over before I accept an omega as my mate.” I growl, anger snaking through my veins as I regard the hapless-looking woman who stands before me, eyes downcast, arms wrapped around her midriff as if trying to ward off my wrath.For two whole years, I had waited to feel this connection and to find my mate. And I finally do so with Jenna? The young, naive girl who can hardly carry her weight?Was this the god's hilarious attempt at a sick joke?If word got out that my mate was a young omega who was still wet behind the ears, the pack was going to be an easy target for constant attacks. And I couldn't allow that.I couldn't accept Jenna as my mate. Not when there was a war going on. I needed a mate who would fight ruthlessly by my side to keep the pack.I look towards Jenna, the daughter of David Abbot, who was killed two seasons ago. David had been one of the strongest wolves in the pack, whose strength had waned the older he got.Why wasn't his daughter like

Jenna's POV“I'm coming!” I yell out as I give my hair a final run-through with the wooden brush that had been a gift from my father.I brush my fingers over the engraving on the comb, remembering the evening Papa had called to me and handed me the beautiful comb.“I found it while I was hunting.” He'd mentioned it as I squealed in delight at the beautiful gift.Father was no more, and tonight wasn't the time to allow grief to ruin my day or for tears to cake my already washed face.I had a feast to attend, and I couldn't be late.“What's taking so long?” Elise asks, her voice tinged with impatience.I hurry through the doors of my trunda to find Elise waiting, foot tapping against the grass.“Sorry,” I apologize as we begin to make our way towards the path that would lead us to the alpha's abode, and my heart thrums with trepidation at what is to come.Memories of the conversation I had with the alpha from this morning flood me, and I shudder at the memory of those hazel eyes, which

Jack's POVWhen I scan the crowd again, I do not find Jenna anymore, with those bright green eyes that had been filled with so much trepidation and hope.Pain suddenly slams into me, and I stagger back, shocked at its intensity.Warm hands settles on my shoulders.“Are you alright?” Violent asks, eyes filled with concern and care.“I am alright.” I whisper, even though I am anything but. Violet doesn't look convinced, and those knowing eyes darken in suspicion.I take her hands in mine and drop a light kiss on her wrist, her pulse jumping at the first brush of my lips against the smooth flesh. I look up through hooded eyes to watch her, enjoying the sight of blood that rushes to her cheeks.“Trust me, there's nothing to worry about.”Violet nods with a beaming smile, and I right myself to take her hands, leading her towards a further corner, slightly darker, to afford us more privacy.“When you said you wanted to hold a feast tonight, I didn't know what to expect.” Violet admits.“Wel

ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 185
Jenna’s POVThe weight of her betrayal crashes over me like a tidal wave, leaving me breathless. My mind races, trying to piece together the shards of disbelief and reality as I stare at Eleanor, her knife pressed firmly against Greta’s throat. I suddenly recall Raina’s warnings, her sharp, skeptical words about trust. My eyes dart toward her, finding her face etched with sadness and resignation. She isn’t surprised. She knew—maybe not everything, but enough to suspect this. Why had I doubted her? Why had I dismissed her words so easily? Believing that Eleanor would never do a thing like this. That is because she had never given me any reason to suspect. My chest tightens, and I step forward, the need for answers overriding my fear. “Eleanor,” I say, my voice trembling, “what are you doing?” She doesn’t meet my gaze, her focus fixed on Greta, whose wide, terrified eyes plead for rescue. “This isn’t you,” I continue, my voice rising as anger seeps in. “This is insane!

ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 184
Jenna's POV For a moment, I hesitate, torn between following them and ensuring the safety of my group. That’s when my eyes land on Mia, trembling as Caleb tries to shield her with his body. “Elise,” I whisper, the name slipping from my lips before I even think about it. I spot her near the hallway, ushering two younger children toward the basement door. Her once-familiar face is now a mask of determination, her shoulders squared with an authority that’s both foreign and familiar. “Elise!” I call, moving toward her with quick strides. She turns sharply, her eyes locking on mine. Shock flickers across her face, but it’s fleeting, replaced almost instantly by a cold, unreadable expression. “Elise, please,” I say, my voice trembling as I gesture toward Mia. “Take her with you. She’ll be safer in the basement.” Elise doesn’t reply, her lips pressing into a thin line. For a moment, I think she’s going to refuse. “Jenna, are you serious?” Caleb growls from behind me. “We can’t just h
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 183
Jenna’s POV Breakfast is tense. The room is quiet save for the occasional clink of cups or the soft murmur of Eleanor and Caleb sharing what little food we have left. Mia picks at her portion, her gaze darting between us as though searching for reassurance that none of us can provide. I clear my throat, pushing back the gnawing unease in my chest. “We need to talk,” I say, my voice steady but firm. Eleanor looks up, her brows furrowing in concern. Caleb leans back in his chair, arms crossed, while Greta and Raina exchange wary glances. “If Jack doesn’t agree to an alliance,” I continue, “then we have to think of a Plan B. We can’t keep waiting here. The hunters are coming—it’s just a matter of when.” Raina scoffs, shaking her head. “And what exactly does Plan B look like? We have no weapons, no backup, and no clue where to go.” “We’ll figure it out,” I say, though I know how hollow the words sound. Eleanor places a hand on my arm, her touch grounding. “Let’s give Jack a chance
ALPHA REJECTION Chapter 182
Violet's POV The dishwasher hums quietly, its buttons glowing faintly in the dim kitchen light. I glare at it like it’s a wild animal I need to tame. Eldris had shown us this contraption just days ago, explaining its purpose, but I hadn’t been paying attention. The overwhelming strangeness of human life had drowned out most of his words. Now, standing before the machine, I’m regretting that decision. “Elise, how does this thing work again?” I call out, my voice tinged with frustration. Elise doesn’t answer right away. She’s crouched near a small radio-like device on the counter, with buttons and knobs. “Give me a second,” she mutters. “Eldris said this thing plays music, but I can’t figure out how to turn it on.” “Music?” I snap, throwing my hands up. “You’re worried about music while I’m stuck with this metal beast?” Elise shrugs without looking up. “I figured it’d help lighten the mood.” “Lighten the mood?” My voice rises a pitch. “We’re trying to survive in this strange town
