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

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.

Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Thirty-Six
Jemima’s POVThe way he said my government-issued name was enough to make me shudder with desire.I was well aware of my nipples hardening and poking through the thin material of my shirt which I held to my chest even as I jutted my chin stubbornly at him. It was as though there was a force pushing me to vex him as much as I could. A force I couldn't resist.“You have no right to tell me what or what not to say, Adrian Blackthorn. You can't control me like the rest of your Pack members.”A muscle in his jaw clenched at my provocation and then his gaze lowered to my chest, eyes lighting up with fascination at the way my hard nipples were threatening to poke through my shirt. My mouth went dry as his gaze darkened with a combination of fierce hunger and anger. “I guess I should head back to the Pack house,” Piper said, her voice barely above a whisper and turned to leave.Neither the Alpha nor I turned to acknowledge her. I found out that I couldn't barely move. The heat in my mate’s
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Thirty-Five
Adrian’s POVI left Jemima’s room feeling like a piece of shit. She didn't deserve this. She didn't deserve to be punished for my past experiences but I couldn't help it. It had been easier to pretend that I thought the reason she was mad was because we had sex. Easier than admitting that I had pulled away and talking to her about Sienna. Thoughts of her still hurt and it wouldn't be a good thing if my mate thought that I was still so affected by my dead mate. “You look so lost,” my beta said, startling me. I hadn't noticed his presence.His eyes sparkled with mischief. “You know you can come to me whenever you want with your woman problem, right?”“Coming from someone who has no experience whatsoever with a woman. Go to bed, Garrett,” I replied. “That is not true,” he protested, grinning. “You can ask Piper about it.”I made a face. “Certainly not interested. Now, if you don't have anything else to say, allow me retire to my bedroom in peace.”“How did it go with Abigail?” he que
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Chapter 34
Jemima’s POVA shriek of surprise escaped my lips as he carelessly flung me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.I was well aware of where his palm rested – right on my butt. “Adrian, this is not how you sweep a lady off her feet, in case that’s what you are trying to do here,” I said. He chuckled. “You should have known by now, dear mate, that I am not a gentleman. Don't worry, you are going to get used to it with time.”I snorted and didn't speak to him again until we reached my bedroom. The short dress I was wearing, rode up dangerously higher as he gently lowered me to the bed.His gaze latched on to my exposed thighs as he straightened just before I got the chance to adjust my dress. “Don’t,” he murmured, stilling the motion of my fingers. “You do not have to cover up when we are together.”My fingers tightened on the hem of my dress as I fought to control the sudden wave of anger that washed over me. “Jem, are you alright?” he queried. His tone was laced with concern.
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Thirty-Three
Jemima’s POVMesmerized by the sight in front of me, I took a step forward. “You are supposed to be at the Pack House.”I whipped around to face Garrett, the spell cast by the stones broken in an instant by the sound of the Beta’s angry voice. An apology was just at the tip of my tongue but I changed my mind. He should have known better than to interrupt whatever it is that would have happened had I gone close enough to touch the stones. Something would have happened. I was sure of it.“So are you,” I said to him, not bothering to hide my irritation at his presence. He muttered something under his breath and then closed his eyes to take a deep breath. When he opened them, I saw that his anger had vanished. “It's not safe for you out here. Let's head back. I'm not going to tell Adrian about this even though it's the right thing to do. He is going to be really mad.”I shrugged. “You can tell him if you want. I didn't ask you not to.”Without waiting for him to say another word, I
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Thirty-Two
Jemima’s POVI really wanted to go with Adrian to see my stepmother who seemed to be involved in the tangled web of mysteries that surrounded me. But it was a wise decision for me to stay behind. Abigail despised me and wouldn't want to give me anything I desperately needed, which in this case, were answers to my questions.Why was I so different from the others? And why did it seem as though my life was being targeted?Perhaps, if my mother hadn't cruelly abandoned me, I wouldn't have been as confused about my abilities and why I had them.Her abandonment was something I was never going to forgive. Because of her decision, I had suffered at the hands of my stepmother and her daughter. The most painful part of it all was that my father had done nothing to protect me.“Jeez, stop glaring at the forest already or you are going to set it ablaze.”Piper’s voice pierced through my thoughts, abruptly pulling me back to the present. I regarded her friendly expression for a moment. She was
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Thirty-One
Adrian’s POV“I think I now remember who it belongs to,” I continued. “Abigail.”Her brows furrowed in puzzlement at the mention of her stepmother’s name and then I felt the mockery directed at herself for forgetting that the name was quite common and not reserved for only her. “Was she a member of this Pack?” she queried.“Jemima, we are talking about your stepmother here,” I replied. Her eyes widened in surprise and I watched as she visibly struggled for what to say.“I'm sorry I didn't tell you this earlier, but a few weeks before the fight in the forest, I ran into her when I was following a trail. I think she is somehow connected to all of this,” I revealed.“You think?” my mate queried angrily. I didn't blame her. It wasn't right for me to have kept that piece of information away from her considering the relationship between them.“Why the hell didn't you tell me about it earlier?”“Calm down, Jem,” I murmured. “I just didn't think it was necessary at that time.”“But it certa
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima RESISTING THE PULL
Jemima’s POVAfter Adrian hurried out of my room like a man who was on the run for his life, it felt like he had taken all the warmth with him. The room had suddenly become too quiet and I could feel the tendrils of loneliness reaching out to squeeze my heart. I hated the feeling.The whole betrayal I experienced with my former mate, Connor, had made me vow that I was never going to fully open up to another man and let myself be vulnerable. Damn the stupid mate bond. Perhaps, if I hadn't sensed how he hesitated to mark me and how he withdrew into himself right after our intense love-making, I would not have been experiencing the crushing feeling of regret. Being intimate with my mate had crossed my mind several times since we first met but I always managed to push those thoughts to the furthest parts of my mind. The Pack’s troubles had also helped me not to focus on stuff like that. I was still surprised at how the intense desire to mate had suddenly hit both of us at the same

Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima CONTROL
Adrian’s POVAs I settled my head between the moist juncture of her thighs, every thought that I had to take it slow and tease her mercilessly, nearly fled from me. She smelled so good that my mouth watered and it took every ounce of willpower that I had in me to keep from immediately digging in.I took deep breaths to regain control but the soft sounds of pleasure she made as my breath tickled her centre, nearly made me lose it again. Fighting for control, I rubbed my palms gently along her thighs as I kept on torturing her with my breath against her moist heat. When her clit started to pulse with pleasure, I knew I had lost the battle. With a sigh, I allowed my tongue to taste her and it nearly drove me mad with pleasure, her cries only made things worse. My dick throbbed painfully but I was determined to satisfy her needs first.I lapped at her centre like a hungry dog, allowing her taste and smell to cloud my senses.At that point, I was certain that neither of us would have
