Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Forty-Six
Jemima’s POV“What are you doing?” I asked amusedly. I had just stepped out of the bathroom after taking my first shower in three days, only to find Piper trying on a pair of boots that Adrian had bought me a few weeks ago. She smiled sheepishly at me as she took them off. “I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist the temptation to put them on. Blame the boots, not me.”A snort slipped from my lips as I strolled towards the wardrobe to pick out what to wear. “But how come you never even wear them?” she queried. “I think they are just too fashionable to wear on ordinary days. I'm going to put them on when there is a special event,” I replied, pulling out a T-shirt and a pair of jeans from the wardrobe. “What special occasion would require you to wear boots instead of heels?” she wondered. I gave her a smile. “I'm certain that there are events like that. And again, I prefer boots to heels. They are more comfortable.”“Weirdo,” she murmured with a smile on her face. When I unwrapped my t

Jemima’s POV“I'm sorry but I still don't understand. You both are in love right?” I queried. She let out a snort of laughter. “If that’s what you see between us, then sorry to say, but you must be really naive.”My confusion deepened and finally, she decided to explain things to my simple mind. “We had this fiery sexual attraction thingy between us and he proposed that we have a no-strings-attached relationship. I foolishly agreed.”“Now, I’m in love with him but I know that he doesn’t feel the same way.”She paused to clear her throat and I could see the hurt in her eyes. I immediately felt sorry for her and reached forward to pat her shoulder. “What’s the point anyway?” She continued. “We are eventually both going to find our mates and this thing between us will become history.”Silence descended upon us and we both allowed our gazes to linger on the peaceful flow of the river. I had never experienced her type of situation but I knew what I would do if I were in her shoes. “W

Jemima’s POVA scoff slipped from my lips as I thought of what to say to him to get him to leave. I didn't feel like eating with him. He looked at Piper and his lips curved into a mischievous grin. “Or do you also want me to leave?”“Of course not,” she replied almost immediately and nudged me with her elbow. “We’ll be delighted if you can join us. There is more than enough food for the three of us.”My lips parted in shock and I turned to face with a look close to betrayal plastered on my features.Her eyes pleaded with me to understand but I was too pissed at Adrian to do that.I knew that she had no choice. He was her Alpha and couldn't get away with some things I could get away with. “Fine, then,” I said, “You two can enjoy a lovely dinner together.”I could sense my mate’s amusement as I scooped a generous portion of potatoes into my plate and added some drumsticks before marching out of the dining room.“I'm so sorry about that,” I heard Piper say to him just before I slamme

Adrian’s POVTalking about how my former mate died was something I would rather not discuss. It really took a lot for me to tell her that I had killed her. Giving her the specifics was going to be much harder. It was a memory I didn't want to relive.But Jemima desperately wanted me to spill it all out. Her large, expressive eyes held doubt and uncertainty. She didn't want to believe that I had taken the life of a woman I loved.“Just tell her already,” my wolf said.I drew in a shuddering breath for strength before I started to tell her what exactly had happened that day. My voice sounded lifeless even to me as the words spilt out of my mouth. We had been under attack by rogues.That day, Sienna and I had decided to go for a run like we usually did every morning. I could still picture how perfect the weather had been. How comforting the quiet of the forest was. It was both I and Sienna’s favourite part of the day but ever since she died, I had come to despise it. I preferred nig

Adrian’s POVI must have dozed off again because the next time I woke up, Jemima was no longer by my side. Her side of the bed was cold which meant she had been up for quite some time. I wondered if she was in the bathroom. I stretched and let out a tired yawn, feeling somewhat drained. It was part of the reasons I detested visiting the memories of the past. Memories that had to do with Sienna. With a sigh, I rose to a sitting position and my eyes went to the clock on the far end of the wall. My eyes instantly widened in surprise. It was almost ten-thirty. I wasn't supposed to have slept for that long. Jemima walked in just as I rose from the bed and the first thing I noticed was how sweaty she was. Her blouse clung to her chest tantalizingly and my eyes followed a bead of sweat as it rolled down her neck to disappear into her cleavage. She cleared her throat loudly and I reluctantly dragged my gaze back to her face. I wasn't even aware of when she shut the door behind her. “

Jemima’s POVAfter Adrian had slept off the previous night after telling me about Sienna, I stayed awake thinking. I had tried and failed to fall asleep, so I had given up and paced my room, allowing several thoughts to run through my mind. It was obvious that my mate had allowed his guilt about Sienna’s death to eat deep into him. I could only advise him to let it go but he had to make that decision himself. No one could force him to. I felt uncomfortable knowing that he still hadn't let go of her but I also couldn't help but empathize with him. If something like that had happened to me, I might not have been as strong as he had been. It was a terrible thing to lose one’s mate and even worse when you are the one responsible for it. But still, I didn't want to have to compete for his affections with a dead ex.If only he could allow himself use our bond to heal. “You should also try that too,” Kiona said. “You still haven't totally let go of the pain Connor caused you.”I heav

Jemima’s POV“You came all the way here to find a witch?” I asked a rather grumpy-looking Adrian who wasn't pleased that I had insisted on Piper tagging along with us.He had thought that it was going to be just the both of us but I wasn't ready to spend hours all alone with him.I found my emotions flitting between sympathy for him, then jealousy and a little bit of anger directed towards him if I was being honest. It hadn't helped that he had said her name in his sleep the previous night. Deciding to allow Piper to tag along with us was to prevent me from spilling my thoughts out to him. I didn't want to come off as being selfish and insensitive. “I would go to the ends of the Earth for you if it means that your life will be preserved,” he answered in a bored tone.Piper clapped her hands in delight. “That's so sweet.”Adrian threw her a not-so-discrete withering look and her excitement instantly disappeared. I threw him a warning look and moved closer to her. “Just ignore him,

Jemima’s POV“Is that supposed to be the witch?” Piper queried, coming to stand behind me and then she let out a gasp. “Isn’t that Abigail?”“The one and only,” I murmured. She tutted. “At this point, she has got to be connected with everybody and everything.”I dragged my gaze away from the picture and my eyes found the desk close to the window. I wondered how I had missed it in the first place. As if the sheer number of books in the living room wasn't enough, there was another huge pile of books on the table. Piper followed my gaze and moved towards the table, muttering under her breath about how one could be so interested in books. She reached the table and picked up a piece of paper that had been lying on the book at the top. “I think this is for you.”Curiosity bit deep into me as I regarded the piece of paper she was holding up. “Thank goodness,” my mate’s voice boomed. “I thought the house had absorbed you two.”Ignoring him, I walked over to where Piper was standing and

Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima One Hundred And Fourteen
Author’s POVIt hadn't been that difficult for the Committee of Alphas specifically created for the elimination of Jemima, to be infiltrated.The problem was that every Alpha who claimed that they wanted Jemima gone was allowed to join without question. So blinded were they by their eagerness to get rid of the threat that was Jemima that it didn't occur to them that not all the Alphas or witches who wanted to join the committee were truly on their side.It was a good thing for Elena though. She couldn't join the committee but she had an Alpha whom she could trust and begged him to join so that he could act as a spy for her. Liam, Elena’s estranged older step-brother and the Alpha of the Iron Fang Pack had reasons for not wanting to have anything to do with his younger sister.The first was that she had chosen to distance herself from him long before she even got pregnant with Jemima. She explained that she did it to protect him and didn't want anyone to know that they were related

Jemima’s POVRelief flooded my heart but I told myself not to be too hopeful. Perhaps, Connor wanted to psychologically torture us this way. Giving us hope only to take it away at the next minute. There was no way he could have changed his mind. A gasp fell from my lips when the chains suddenly loosened and fell to the ground. I was free. This certainly wasn’t Connor’s doing.The door was suddenly knocked off its hinges and landed with a deafening bang on the ground. A familiar figure stepped into the room and for a moment, I went completely dumb with surprise. “I'm certain you can get up from that chair. You are no longer bound to it,” the Alpha of the Midnight Pack said, mild amusement in his tone. “Zade,” I breathed out and rose from my seat. “How are you here? Why are you here?”“Well, I drove down here,” he replied, his eyes dancing with humour.I rolled my eyes. “You know exactly what I mean? How did you know I was in danger?”“How I have missed your numerous questions,”

Jemima’s POVConnor burst out laughing. An annoyingly grating sound that made me want to rip his head off. “There’s nothing you can do no matter how much I badmouth your mother. You are practically helpless and harmless right now,” he said. “And I thought you even hated the woman so why are you bothered about me calling her names?”“Fuck you, Connor,” I replied and started to struggle against the chains.“Oh please,” he began, his tone laced with amusement, “If you keep on struggling like that I might just pity you. Stop it already.”I ignored him and kept on trying to see if my abilities would suddenly turn back on and help me get out of the silver chains.“The chains are enchanted, Jemima. And you must have noticed that your abilities do not work here. It's going to remain like that for about an hour. It's rather annoying that every spell has a time limit when it comes to you,” he explained. “But don't worry, you’ll be dead long before the spell starts to lose its potency.”Piper

Jemima’s POVA flicker of irritation passed across Connor’s features as he looked at Piper who was standing right beside me. Because of what had happened the previous night, it was now much more difficult to get her apart from me even for a couple of minutes. “You didn't say she was going to tag along with you,” the Alpha of the Silver Paw Pack began, “Discussing matters that have to do with this Pack is supposed to be private. No outsiders are allowed.”Piper scoffed but I secretly gave her side a pinch to keep her from saying anything. “I am also an outsider, Connor and you are allowing me to even take an active part in something that concerns your Pack,” I replied.He rolled his eyes. “You were born here. Besides, you were the one who chose to leave. You weren't banished.”Considering the circumstances that brought about me leaving the Pack, I was supposed to be mad at him at that moment but I chose not to. Instead, I offered him a sweet smile and said in a firm tone, “Piper has

Jemima’s POVThat night, after I had discovered that my mother only abandoned me because she wanted to protect me, I couldn't sleep. I had later placed a call to my mate to let him know that I was okay and also to tell him about the letters I found in my father’s Study. “You really should stop pacing and come to bed already,” Piper suggested, her tone laced with concern. “How do you expect me to just do that, Piper?” I queried. “For most of my life, I have hated my mother for what she did and now I am just filled with guilt.”“But you shouldn't feel guilty,” she replied, heaving herself into an upright position on the bed. “We both read those letters and it was clear that she needed you to think that she abandoned you. If you had known the truth you certainly would have gone looking for her.”An exasperated sigh fell from my lips. “I really need to find her. We can get through this together. Her life is also in danger.”“Well, you have already said that you know who you are going t

Author’s POVFor Connor, going through some humiliation rituals was necessary for a person to achieve the desired end result. Before learning about the situation and how it would affect him, the Alpha of the Silver Paw Pack had never imagined that he would ever go down on his knees in front of a woman he had formerly rejected. It was humiliating but he had to do it. He had despised her a lot when they were still mated and he had found out that she was wolfless. At least at that time, she was.Finding out just a few months after he rejected her that she wasn't actually without a wolf and was actually so powerful, would have made him regret rejecting her if not that her powers, which were from a strong ancestral bloodline, were going to lead to the end of his reign.Thankfully, he wasn't the only one who thought that uniting all the Packs as one was totally unfair as it was going to strip them of their leadership positions which would also result in losing privileges and benefits tha

Author’s POV“Mom, you know that was wholly unnecessary,” Tamar began as she helped her mother get settled on the bed. “Knowing how powerful she is, you shouldn't have provoked her like that.”Abigail gave her daughter a look. “If I didn't know any better I would have thought you were on her side instead of your mother’s.”Tamar rolled her eyes. “All I'm saying is that you should be careful when dealing with her. She is no longer the frightened girl with low self-esteem that you used to know. She’s changed.”“It means nothing,” Abigail replied stubbornly. “She can't be more powerful than thousands of us put together. And do not forget that we have the support of a few witches. When the time is right, we are going to put an end to her existence.”Tamar tried not to show how uncomfortable she was with her mother's words. It wasn't as though she was totally against bullying her step-sister, but killing her was an entirely different matter. Even though she tried to ignore it, she still

Jemima’s POVTamar was instantly by her mother’s side, murmuring words of care while Piper wrapped her arms around me. “Thank you,” she murmured. I wondered why she was thanking me. Tamar helped her mother to her feet and within seconds, they were out of the Study. Piper released me to go lock the door which they had left ajar. When she returned to where I was standing, I realized that her eyes were wide with fear. “I knew I should have come here with you,” she said. “Has it been thirty minutes since I left the room already?” I asked and she shook her head.“Your mate called and was really mad at me for not being with you. He ordered me to come to you and call him the minute I get here,” she explained and then started to dial his number. “You do not have to do that now,” I said, snatching the phone from her hand. “I am going to call him and give him an explanation.”She rolled her eyes. “You had better do that now before he starts blasting your phone with calls.”As if on cue,

Jemima’s POV“I think I would prefer to remain standing,” I replied, not daring to take my eyes off her.The last time we had a conversation alone was when I came to her to report Tamar’s betrayal. She had laughed in my face and told me that I was a good-for-nothing who didn't deserve to be mated to an Alpha. She also told me that she was certain that the Moon Goddess had somehow made a mistake. “Whatever,” Abigail said. “Whether you choose to sit or stand is none of my business.”Of course. Why wasn't I the least bit surprised? “So why exactly am I here, Abigail?” I queried. “If it's about the salvation of this Pack, Connor and I have already spoken about it.”“I also need to give you my two cents about the situation,” she replied. “As an elder of this Pack and also the soon-to-be mother-in-law of the Alpha, my opinions are of importance.”I mentally rolled my eyes wondering who the hell had made her an elder. She wasn't even qualified to be one yet. Or did being a mother to the
