Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima Ten
~Adrian Blackthorn POV ....The Pack’s TerritoryThe sun had just come up, but I was already awake. Sleep wasn’t easy after everything that had happened. Jemima’s story about the man in the forest wouldn’t leave my mind. His words—they didn’t sound like just threats. They felt like something worse. I hated not knowing what was coming.Garrett was waiting for me near the clearing. He looked as tired as I felt. “No news,” he said. “The scouts didn’t find anything. Whoever this guy is, he knows how to stay hidden.”I nodded and clenched my jaw. “Tell them to keep looking. We can’t stop now.”Garrett paused and looked at me. “Do you think this is about Jemima?”I didn’t answer right away, but I already knew the truth. It was about her. Since she came here, everything had changed. First the rogue attack, and now this. Someone was targeting her, or they wanted her to be afraid. Either way, I wasn’t going to let it happen.“I’m going out myself,” I said. “I want to see if there’s anything we

~Jemima’s POVThe days felt endless, stretching out like a thread that might snap at any moment. Life in the pack house, once a comforting rhythm of routine and community, now felt suffocating. Fear clung to the walls, and the whispers that floated through the corridors carried unspoken accusations.Whenever I passed a group of pack members, conversations would falter, their eyes trailing me with a mixture of unease and suspicion. It was as though I had become a living reminder of the chaos that had unsettled our lives.I hated those stares. They didn’t just watch me—they weighed me down, filling me with doubt. A gnawing voice inside whispered the question I feared most: What if they’re right? What if this is my fault?Adrian stayed close, a silent shadow who seemed to think his presence alone could shield me from the growing tension. He wasn’t overbearing, nor did he try to force his concern on me, but his watchfulness felt like chains. I knew he meant well, but his constant vigilance

~Adrian Blackthorn POV ....The Pack’s TerritoryThe morning was cool, and the mist wrapped around the trees like a blanket. I walked through the forest toward the eastern border, where the scouts had reported fresh tracks. My wolf, Kieran, was tense. I could feel his frustration echoing in my chest.We need to act fast, Kieran growled. They’re testing us, trying to see how far they can go.I know, I replied, gripping the hilt of my dagger tightly. Whoever was out there wasn’t passing through. They had a purpose, and I wasn’t going to let them succeed.When I reached the border, Garrett was already there. He stood near a scout, pointing at faint tracks in the dirt.“How fresh are these?” I asked, crouching to take a closer look.“Not more than a few hours,” Garrett replied. “But they vanish ahead, like whoever left them disappeared.”I traced the outline of a print with my finger. It was too clean to belong to a rogue. Rogues didn’t bother hiding their tracks. Whoever this was knew ho

Jemima Steele POV...The Pack's TerritoryAdrian and I walked through the trees, each lost in our thoughts. It had been days since the voice in the clearing. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was coming.“Do you ever feel like we’re being watched?” I asked.Adrian glanced at me. “All the time. That’s our life. Always being watched.”But this felt different. There was something heavy in the air. Even Kiona, my wolf, felt uneasy. The trees seemed alive today, creaking like they were talking. The sun shone, but it didn’t feel warm.We reached the clearing where the stones stood. They were old, silent, and strange. I stared at them. I couldn’t understand why they pulled me in. The glow at night, the hum—they didn’t feel right.Adrian stopped beside me. “You’re thinking about the voice again, aren’t you?”I nodded. “It felt too real. Like it was meant for me.”“We’ll find out what it was,” he said quietly.I wanted to believe him. But what if we were already too late? What if the d

Jemima Steele POV...The Pack's TerritoryI stood near the clearing, my eyes fixed on the stones. Adrian’s words, “They’re closer than we’d like,” echoed in my mind. I didn’t know who “they” were, but I felt a presence, like someone was watching us. Even with the patrols out in force, the forest didn’t feel safe.Adrian emerged from the trees, scanning the area like he was searching for something. He appeared calm, but I could see the tension in his movements.“Did you find anything?” I asked.He shook his head. “Not yet, but we will.”We stood in silence, the weight of the moment pressing down on us. It felt like the forest itself was holding its breath, waiting for something.“Garrett and the others are searching,” Adrian said. “If something’s out there, they’ll find it.”I nodded, but my thoughts kept returning to that voice. The one that had whispered, “Leave.” It sent a chill through me.“What if they’ve already done something?” I asked quietly, the fear creeping up again.Adrian’s

Jemima Steele’s POVThe morning air hung around me, damp and heavy, making it hard to shake off the lingering tension. The house was quiet—not the comforting kind of quiet, but the kind that felt loaded with unspoken fears and unanswered questions. Adrian’s words from last night echoed in my mind: They’re testing us. I couldn’t stop wondering what he meant. Why did it feel like the whole forest was holding its breath, waiting for something to happen?I headed to the kitchen, drawn by the faint smell of coffee. Garrett stood at the counter, his shoulders stiff as he poured himself a cup. He glanced over when he saw me, and for the first time, his usual playful smirk was gone. Instead, his face held a wary seriousness.“Morning,” he said, his voice rough.“Morning,” I replied, trying to sound calm. “Any news?”He shook his head, his lips pressed tight. “The patrols didn’t find anything new. But those tracks from yesterday? They’re fresh. Whoever’s out there isn’t even trying to stay hidd

Jemima Steele’s POVAdrian’s voice from the meeting last night stayed with me: They’re not testing just the pack. They’re testing us all.I wrapped my arms around myself and stepped outside. The mist lay heavy over the forest, blurring the trees into gray shadows. The world felt smaller, quieter. Even the birds were silent.Kiona stirred in my mind, her voice calm but firm. “Stay sharp, Jemima. The forest is hiding more than mist today.”I know, I replied silently. The unease that clung to me since the vision at the stones hadn’t left. If anything, it had grown stronger. I’d told Adrian what I’d seen, but even his steady presence couldn’t erase the fear.The sound of footsteps pulled me from my thoughts. Garrett appeared from the trees, his face grim. “Adrian wants everyone in the main hall,” he said without preamble.I followed him back inside, where the rest of the pack was already gathering. Adrian stood at the front, his presence commanding as always. His eyes scanned the room, lin

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 couldn

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
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima One Hundred And Eleven
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
Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima One Hundred And Eight
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
