Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima SILENCE!
Jemima's POVAfter Adrian finished talking to me, I lay back on the makeshift bed, staring at the shadows on the ceiling as my mind raced with too many questions. The forest, the runes, Adrian’s cryptic warnings—it was all too much. My eyelids became heavier by the second, and I allowed the whole exhaustion I felt swallow me whole.But even the sleep wasn’t so good. It was anything but.I had a dream, and in that dream, I found myself standing in the living room of my childhood home. The familiar scent of the place giving me a feeling that I had not felt in a long time. Everything looked just the same as I last remembered. The worn out couch by the window, the ugly coffee table with the markings on top of it that was there. But something felt wrong.Terribly wrong.My cheeks were wet. I reached up and touched my face, surprised to see that I was crying. My chest felt as if someone had punched a massive hole in it, as if all the joy had been scooped out and replaced with a void I could

Jemima's POVThe night was so heavy around us, so intense and quiet, the kind of silence that presses down on your chest like a foreign presence. Adrian’s voice echoed in my mind through the pack's mind link.“Shift. Now.”I didn’t hesitate. The command surged through me, setting my veins on fire. One by one, the others responded, their human forms shifting into powerful wolves with thick fur and sharp, dark claws. The shift came over me like something I wasn’t prepared for, pulling me under and spitting me out in my wolf form. My senses sharpened instantly, every sound, every scent, every movement in the forest felt as if it was amplified in my headAnd then, there was nothing. No more thudding, no more rustling. Just silence. The kind that wasn’t natural. The kind that made the fur on the back of my neck stand up.“Stay alert,” Adrian warned through the link. His voice was calm, but I could sense the tension that came with it. “Something’s out there.”I bent down low, my claws digg

Adrian’s POVThe attack came from nowhere, as they normally happen. One moment I was catching my breath after another kill, the metallic taste of blood sharp on my tongue. The next, I was helping Jemima up, and the very next moment, a wolf pounced at me from the shadows, its claws bared and scraping across my side.I staggered but still stayed standing, baring my teeth in a snarl. It was big, bigger than most, but the anger in me gave me strength. I lunged forward, meeting it at once. We tumbled together into the forest, snapping and clawing each other, trying to find an opening for a kill.“Adrian!” Jemima’s voice echoed faintly through the mind link, but the wolf drove me more far away from her. I felt a hint of worry settle down in the pit of my stomach and it had nothing to do with the fight.The wolf went for my neck and he aimed his teeth for a kill but I twisted and turned, managing to grab its throat in my mouth. My thigh burned with a sudden, deep pain, so sharp it almost put

Adrian’s POVThe sun was rising already in the sky and I felt like I didn’t want the morning to come. I wanted everything to stay still till Jemima woke up. The sun was rising but my spirit wasn’t. Everything about me felt paralyzed. It was too bright for my liking. Jemima lay in my arms, her body lifeless and limp, her breathing shallow. At least she was still breathing. The rising run focused its light on her skin, and it shined like she wasn’t dying in my arms. For a brief moment there, she looked like a goddess, too perfect to be real.“Come on, Jemima,” I murmured, brushing a stray strand of hair from her face. “You don’t get to quit on me now. You hear me? You’re tougher than this.”She didn’t stir, she didn’t even move or shake. My wolf growled restlessly in the back of my mind, he was angry and desperate. I forced myself to stay calm for her sake.The others had shifted back into their human forms, their expressions obvious with worry and tiredness. One of my men, Ronan, step

Jemima’s POVThe world came back to me slowly at first. It was blurry images, muffled sounds, and a heavy, almost pain going through my whole body. Then, all at once, I felt something, as if someone was tugging my eyes open, or begging me to open my eyes. I couldn’t really tell. But my eyes shot open, my senses returning in sharp snippets it was almost too much to take in at once.I was moving. No, I was bouncing. My body rising and falling in an uneven motion, like I was being carried.What the hell?The morning light filtered in through the trees, casting a bright glow on everything. It took me a second to realize I wasn’t on the ground. I was suspended. My heart raced as I looked down and saw the broad shoulders under me. Adrian.I was on Adrian’s back.It wasn’t just that realization that shocked me, it was the fact that I was clothed, too. My cheeks heated up immediately on its own accord, but I pushed the embarrassment aside.“Adrian,” I said through the mind link, my voice shar

Jemima's POVI looked around to be sure that we weren't longer in the woods. Adrian was staring at me with keen interest. I dropped my hand by my side and look away in embarrassment.“Are you sure you're okay?” He asked again, walking beside me. The sounds of his men trolling behind could be heard. “Jemima” he called, tapping on my shoulder and I coughed lightly.“I'm fine, trust me” I said, covering up my whole act with a smile.“You don't look good, though” he said and I chuckled dryly.I don't know how long we've been walking, but I knew it's up to an hour already. I scratched my head as my mind wandered off to Garrett. Is he okay?“I was worried earlier when you transformed. I thought you wouldn't make it” He said, his voice sounding low and calm. I sighed. Studying his expression alone, I knew he was worried. It was written all over his face."I'm sorry'' I bit my lower lips, pressing my hands together.“It's fine, Jemima. You're okay, that's what matters to me” he smiled at me w

Adrian's POVMy eyes widened in surprise on seeing what just happened right before my naked eyes. Did jasmine just made Garrett make use of his legs again after all hope we're lost?It happened so fast that I couldn't predict it. Firstly, the wounds in her thighs closed up by itself and I waved it off and now Garrett sudden healing. How's that even possible? Something seems off, and I can't wait to figure it out.I grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer, my eyes searching for answers, but before I could say anything she wriggled her hand off and ran away., heading towards her room. I sighed and ran after her. I called her name repeatedly, but she didn't even turn to spare me a glance even for a minute. She finally got to her doorstep and she pushed her door opened and went inside, and I wanted to follow her in, but she slammed the door to my face and I groaned, stepping backward feeling like a complete loser.I yelled angrily and started hitting the wall with my knuckle until blood

Jemima’s POV I didn’t know what exactly to say to Adrian to make him believe me. I didn’t even want to face him because I knew he had a thousand questions for me and I didn’t know how to answer any of them.He should be happy I saved him and he just let me off the hook already. I knew I wouldn’t be able to avoid him forever and he was going to demand an explanation sooner or later but I didn’t know what to say, did I?It’s not like I understood my powers well enough to explain to anyone, but I knew I’d need to make him understand somehow. I felt tired and my body was aching all over as I was struggling to maintain my composure. I was feeling quite hot and tired so decided to have a quick shower.I planned to leave the room and answer whatever questions Adrian would have for me. I went into the shower and had a bath and came out right after changing my dress and I felt more comfortable.I took a deep sigh before opening the door and I walked out of the room.

Jemima’s POVIf he said my name one more time like that, I was positively going to combust on the spot. The heat in his gaze was already making it hard enough for me to concentrate on teasing him. I toyed with the waistband of my panties for a couple of seconds, undulating my hips in a suggestive manner.Without stopping the movement of my hips, I began to slowly pull my panties down. Another gasp escaped my mate’s lips as I allowed the flimsy material to fall to my ankles.“Come here,” he murmured and I stepped out of the panties to slowly walk towards the bed. “You are really going to pay for teasing me like that,” he said in a hoarse voice. “You have no idea how hard it was for me not to explode just from watching you.”My lips curled into the smug smile of a woman well aware of her feminine power as I straddled his hips.His hands immediately went to my butt and started to lovingly knead it.“I thought you enjoyed every bit of the show,” I purred. “Surely, you wouldn't punish
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Ninety-Six
Jemima’s POVA gasp slipped from my lips at his question and for a couple of seconds, I could only stare at him, at a loss for what to say.Perhaps, a huge part of me had thought that he had put the incident that happened the other day at the Midnight Pack behind him.I had been sorely wrong. “So you can’t speak now?” he queried, his voice quavering with barely concealed rage. “Say something Jemima before I lose my damn mind.”My eyes closed as I drew in a shuddering breath and silently prayed to the Moon Goddess for wisdom to handle the situation. “Adrian,” I began, “Nothing happened between me and Zade. It was just….”“I want the truth, Jemima,” he snapped, cutting me off. “If we are going to continue whatever it is that we had before you left, I would want to be sure that I can trust you. I want to be sure that your affections do not lie somewhere else.”“You are my mate, Adrian. I wouldn't put anyone else before you. You asked for the truth and I am going to give it to you.”I d
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Ninety-Five
Jemima’s POVIf I had been expecting a very warm welcome from Adrian, then I would have been sorely disappointed. But even though I hadn't been expecting it, he could have at least even tried to pretend that he was pleased to see me. It was a good thing that at least his Pack members were more excited about my return.They had even prepared a feast which we all settled down to enjoy in the general hall. I couldn't help but notice that the Alpha was absent. If I had any doubts before that he wasn't pleased about my return, his absence from a feast prepared on my behalf made me certain.“Perhaps, he is just too overwhelmed to be in your presence,” the Beta said, earning a scoff from Piper. Briefly, they glared at each other. “It's wrong for him not to be here. The only acceptable excuse is if he is currently on the verge of death and the last time I checked, he was perfectly healthy,” she replied. “It's okay guys. The rest of you are here. It would be most ungrateful for me not to
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Ninety-Four
Adrian’s POV“Of course, you dumbass,” she replied with a small smile and I released a breath I didn't realize I had been holding. “Did you really think that I was going to come here, reject you and then return to the Midnight Pack?” she queried with mild disbelief etched on her features. I shrugged. “I had to consider the possibility so that I wouldn't feel too disappointed if it happened.”She shook her head. “You really need to have a little faith in people, especially your own mate. I would never do that to you. You might not know this about me but I'm never disloyal to the one who is loyal to me.”“I’ll keep that in mind,” I replied. Afterwards, a silence so awkward descended on the room that I wished someone would just show up to make things a little lighter. My gaze had returned to the file on my desk, and though I could see the words, I could not make sense of them. I knew it was unusual for things to feel weird between mates, but I just couldn't help the feeling of anxiet
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Ninety-Three
Adrian’s POVWhen Piper had told me that my mate, if I could still call her that, was going to be returning to the Pack the following week, I scoffed. She had arched an eyebrow questioningly. “I thought you were going to react to this piece of information with a little bit more excitement.”“Did she tell you exactly why she’s coming here?” I queried and Piper’s brows knitted together in confusion. It occurred to me that Jemina had not told her friend all the details of the argument that happened between us the last time we saw each other. It had hurt me but I had decided to allow her the freedom to make a choice. Zade or me. She was supposed to come to the Pack to reject me if she had chosen to be with Zade.“Never mind,” I said to Piper with a forced smile.She rolled her eyes. “So you really haven’t spoken with her since after the argument? Come on, you two are supposed to have sorted things out by now, don’t you think?”“Perhaps, we might start working on that when she returns,
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Ninety-Two
Jemima’s POVEventually, my training came to an end and I still hadn't met this guardian angel of mine who had asked Zade to help me master my abilities. I still also hadn’t discovered what my so-called destiny was, why I had these abilities and why some people wanted me dead. Speaking of death, it was quite surprising that throughout my stay at the Midnight Pack, there was no attempt on my life. Not even when I had decided to be courageous and had gone for a walk at the Park with Aurora a few times. Zade made sure that my hair was covered though so that people wouldn't notice the rare streaks in it.On the day I was supposed to leave Zade’s Pack, I was filled with mixed feelings. It didn't help that Aurora had decided to stay behind. We had really bonded over the months and it kind of hurt to just be separated from her.But I understood why though. The Beta had started to show her some affection and she felt it was going to lead somewhere. She had always had a massive crush on

Jemima’s POVJust at that moment, the door burst open and we pulled apart. But the damage had already been done. “Adrian,” I began, nervously tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. “I wasn't expecting your visit today.”“Obviously,” he murmured spitefully, glaring at the other Alpha who didn't even seem to notice my mate’s anger. I guessed he was still thinking about the question I had asked.“Is everything alright back at the Pack?” I queried.“Do you even care?” he replied, looking at me with a mix of hurt and disappointment in his eyes. “Is being locked in a passionate embrace with him now a part of your training?”“Adrian,” I began but he cut me off.“Is he the one you want to be with? All you have to do is say the word and I'm going to leave you be. We could reject each other and move on. It's not like we are that emotionally attached anyway.”A gasp of disbelief slipped from my lips. I knew he was hurting but his words were quite harsh. “Stop being so immature, will you?” Za
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Ninety
Jemima’s POVMy discovery of the rogues’ hideout made things a lot easier. In the end, there was indeed a witch making them cause chaos that easily without being caught. The bastards had kidnapped her daughter and threatened to kill her the second any of them dropped dead due to her spells. So she had had no choice but to help them for the sake of her daughter.“You did good today,” Zade said the minute we were within the walls of the palace. “We could easily take them down and counter the other witch’s power because of your abilities.”He was giving me too much credit in my opinion. Zade had also done a whole lot of work using both his abilities as a sorcerer and a werewolf. My lips curled into a teasing smile. “Did you just give me a compliment? I guess there is going to be a major eclipse today.”He rolled his eyes. “Don’t make me take it back.”Later that day, Adrian showed up. The fact that I had been instrumental in capturing the rogues and that I was safe, didn't make him a
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Eighty-Nine
Jemima’s POVFinding out where exactly the rogues were coming from was one of the things that I was tasked with.For the first time, I was going to use my power of remote viewing in a real-life situation.“It's impossible for rogues to be that elusive,” Zade was saying. We were on the training field with his Beta and some of his soldiers, discussing our plans to catch the rogues. “And it's not as though the soldiers of the Crescentmoon Guard Pack are amateurs. I have seen them in action before and can testify that they are very skilled. Capturing a few rogues should be a very simple task for them.”“So what exactly are you trying to bring out here?” Damien queried. “They certainly have help from someone. I know the workings of sorcery when I see it,” Zade replied. “What's baffling is why exactly a witch would offer her services to rogues.”“Perhaps, she is being blackmailed or she just has a personal beef with Alpha George and is using the rogues to do her dirty work,” I replied. “
