Jace

My beta was right. The situation was spiraling out of control, and I knew something had to be done. Bringing the other packs together was meant to be a step towards peace, but instead, it seemed to have only fueled the fire. My pack found itself in the eye of the storm, caught in the middle of a conflict that wasn't ours, as always. Alpha Jamie and Alpha Nick's rivalry had reached a breaking point, and their packs were ready to tear each other apart. I couldn't let that happen. Stepping forward, I raised my voice above the growing chaos.

"Enough!" The force of my command surprised even me, and the room fell silent. All eyes turned to me, and I knew this was my moment to make a stand. "We did not come here to continue this pointless feud. Our packs are stronger together, and we will not let petty differences divide us. We are here to build a bridge and find a solution to our problems."

The tension was palpable, but I stood my ground. Slowly, I felt the shift in the room as my word

    ReneeHis voice grates over my skin. Where I used to enjoy the feel, the shiver that it produced, now all it does is cause a rock to land in my stomach. The hair stands on end knowing exactly who is behind me without needing to turn. I don't want to turn. I don't want to see him. I don't want to smell him either. I fight against the rush of memories my stupid brain has associated with that scent.All the time he would meet me in the hallway while classes were going on. When he would hold me close. Whispering to me how beautiful I was, how much he wanted me. The few times he would climb in the window at the foster parent's house after my parents died. The way he would tell me he wanted me and then get mad when I told him I was waiting for my mate. He could have told me I was his mate. But he didn't. No, he wanted what was his, but only one part of it. I was going to be his dirty secret and I have no doubt that if Jasmine wouldn't have come along, he never would have told me. He would h

    Jace"Who the fuck are you?" The Alpha is tall only a few inches shorter than me, not as broad either. He puts his aura behind the bark. I feel nothing from it. He had my fucking mate pinned with her back on the table. His hand bruising her delicate skin on her arms. The burnt honeysuckle scent becomes deeper. His eyes snap back to her. she begins fighting harder in his grip. It made me want to pull her to me and purr. Only one thing could that kind of reaction from an alpha, but I would think about that later right now I can only think of her distress.Who the hell did he think he was? I could feel my anger building, a fiery heat spreading through my body. Rennee was mine, and this intruder had no right to lay a hand on her. I took a menacing step forward, my eyes never leaving his. I saw the challenge in his gaze, but he underestimated the depth of my connection with my mate.I could sense her fear, and it only fueled my protective instincts. I bared my teeth, a low growl rumbling in

    JaceWalking back into the kitchen I see Renee is still at it plating the food with skills I will never have. I take a big inhale of the air through my nose and see that it has returned to her normal honeysuckle scent, nothing burnt to it. Though it seems to be muted then what it should be. I keep sniffing trying to figure out why that is. But the longer I do it starts to spike with the smell of anxiety. Which I do not want. Not when she was just calming. As much as I hate it, I know it's me being there causing the reaction so I once again reluctantly leave her to her work.Thankfully this time when I walk out into the main room, no one is at each other's throats everyone is sitting in their chairs talking like normal fucking people. I return to the alphas table. I am met with a few strange looks and some raise eyebrows they want to ask but after my display earlier no one wants to voice it. As I sit down, I unbutton my suit jacket, only to realize when I ran into the kitchen I never r

    RenneNormally I would stay the whole night and wait till the end to talk to the host who hired me. You know to make sure everything was to their liking. But I couldn't do that tonight. I just simply couldn't stay behind and go another round with Jace Night.I was rattled after dealing with him outside. The emotional high of finding my second chance mate and waiting for the rejection to happen would have been enough to anyone. But then the confirmation with Alex? Shit that alone who have been enough. Combine the two together then add Jace getting him away and kicking his ass? Yep I'm done. Time to get off this fucked up ride. So as soon as the last desert went out, I cleaned as fast as I could, and I got ready to leave.I untied my apron and walked over to my bag grabbing it stuffing the apron in not caring if it had food on it. Again, in case it was missed, I am so over today. Hoping the door would lock behind me, I leave through the door that led to the alley way Jace brought me to e

    JaceBy the time I got the chance to go see her again, to try and talk to her she was already gone. The staff was just starting to clean the kitchen, when I hired her, she had said she stayed and help other staff with cleaning. But I guess in light of everything she been through tonight I can’t really blame her from leaving as soon as she could. Her food to night was exquisite, and not only in my opinion, but that of others many asking who the chef was and for her contact information to hire her for other jobs. My chest was puffed up with pride all night long.I sat with Jamie and Charlie, and the other wolves of the neighboring packs, I couldn't help but feel relieved that they were finally putting their years-old feud to rest. I had been trying to convince them for years to work towards peace between their packs, and now it seemed like they were finally beginning to listen."It's about time you two buried the hatchet," I said, taking a sip of my drink. "We can't keep living like thi

    I woke up slowly, coming back to the world of the living, when before I even opened my eyes, I knew I had, had a night full of nightmares again. When I did open them, the covers were on the floor in a tangled mess, my night gown was twisted and above my hip, my hair was probably a rat’s nest and poor Hedwig was face down on the floor.“Sorry buddy.” It was probably a combination of seeing Alex, meeting Jace and the feeling of being followed and watched. Good news no one tried to break in so I must have been being paranoid.I rubbed my eye only to realize they not only have sand in them but that I never removed my contacts. “Ow, ow, ow!” I quickly jump out of bed and run to the bathroom. I only put them in because its easier to cook bulk food with out having to push my glasses up or have them fog up. Bad thing though was my eye got incredibly dry and irritated when I wear them especially for long periods. Being a wolf are body doesn’t seem to like having something in us for long perio

    Fuck.How did he find me? Am I really about to be rejected before I finish even the first of eight movies? I had hoped to finish them and at least Lilo and Stitch before I found him on Monday. His eyes finally make it to mine face unreadable he probably thinks I look ridiculous. Oh well this is me.“Umm,” I look behind my place isn’t really messy if you don’t count the unmade bed and the pillow nest on the couch. But it would be better to do this inside not standing at the door. “Do you want to come in?”His jaw is tight, but he gives a sharp nod. “Okay then….” I step aside and he walks in, and I close the door and just stand by it. He gets to the middle of the room and looks around with a critical eye. Stopping first on my bed which may or may not have a Stitch comforter and sheet. Perks of having the Lilo and stitch generation being more grown the kid and well you can find anything online these days. Then he looks to the couch which again is covered in more Disney paraphernalia wit

    The way she says that has me wonder what else she has been through. Because with that its pretty clear that she has dealt with more than just mate who rejected her, for whatever reason. I don’t see a single thing not to like and come to love. I also don’t understand how he was able to resist the bond in his chest. Waiting till the morning, then for a reasonable time to come see her was the hardest thing in my life. Well maybe not. Seeing her standing in the door with the surprised look on her face, dressed adorable in her Gryffindor onesie and not grabbing her and kissing her forehead was pretty hard. Then again looking at her sitting on the couch surrounded by pillows blankets with a stuffed Hedwig and some blue alien cartoon looking thing just make me want to wrap up with her. That’s why I didn’t want her to move any of it, it was clear she really felt unhappy about the thought her scent started to turn sour as she went to do it. I love her pour honeysuckle scent fill this space. It

    The mix of emotions that go past her face was expected. I really didn't want to drop this bomb on her right when I got here. But she brought it up and I couldn't ask for a better opening to bring it up. Something I was truly dreading trying to find a way to bring it up. So, she did that for me."Why?" Her tone is neutral, her face is too."A few reasons, really." I admit. "One because it's the safest place for you to be." She starts to interject, but I raise my hand and shake my head. "No, let me explain."She closes her mouth and sits down, her arms crossing, and her lips pressed tightly together."So, there are a lot of things that I want to explain to you. But to be fair you just admitted my point yourself." I gesture towards the bed where she put the stuff from her nest. "You can't leave your nest set up because you are worried about someone seeing it and figuring out that you are an omega." I don't say that I feel like that isn't exactly right something tells we there is more to

    To say I was upset to wake up alone would be an understatement. I was kind of devested. But it only reinforced in my mind, that all men are trash. Sneaking out before dawn was low. I feel that it's even worse since we didn't even have sex. With a newly renewed anger. I stand from my nest on the couch, ready to keep my anger and directed at the world. At least my omega side was happily taking a back seat and letting the alpha take the driver seat. Well, it was until something falls to the floor in front of me. A piece of black fabric, well piece in not the right term. Its large enough to me a throw blanket. I pick it up and immediately know its Jace's and his scent of sandalwood and vanilla. I can't help but bring it to my nose and inhale like it's better than the oxygen I need to live, in someways it is. And in others it is a downfall. Because he may have left but it for me so I could sleep well. And I did. It was the best sleep I have ever had. No nightmares and looking at my nest

  • Rejected and Desired   Chapter 22: Jace

    I know I shouldn't be sitting in her nest, but she didn't object when I stay. No instead she fell asleep. As the sun dips in the sky and the world falls dark. I know I need to leave. I want to make her dinner, but I am not going to wake her. Today was a lot for her. It was a lot for me. My mate is an omega. Yeah, I need to leave. I don't know how she would feel if I stayed, and I need to process that information. Omegas are so a rare these days. She will need extra protection. I don't know if Alexs knows that she is one. But he could have caught the scent she was hiding so well the other night when she catered my even. But here today it was strong, I mean why wouldn't it be she had no reason to hide it here in her home.I look down at my mate, careful to not disturb the slumbering form of my mate. Her breath rose and fell in a rhythmic pattern, peaceful and innocent. She looked so vulnerable, curled up in the nest, her face serene. It was hard to believe that just last night, she had be

    I'd been exposed. The secret I'd kept hidden for so long, the fear I'd carried like a heavy weight, was now out in the open. He knew I was a rare alpha omega, a creature of myth and legend. And he wasn't running away. Okay well he knew half of the secret. It would take an idiot to miss the signs today. But the fact is Jace knew.His words echoed in my mind, "That's right little omega you just need some food." The term "little omega" was a term of endearment, a term used to soothe and comfort. But coming from him, it felt like a betrayal. He'd figured me out, and he'd used it against me.I looked up at him, my eyes filled with a mix of confusion, fear, and a flicker of anger. He was staring at me, his expression unreadable. Was he pitying me? Was he afraid? Or was he something else entirely?"I'm not little," I managed to croak out, my voice barely a whisper. "I'm not weak."He chuckled, a low, rumbling sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Of course you're not," he said, his eyes so

    I am caught in a whirl of shock and disbelief, it's like you're in the eye of an emotional hurricane. Everything's up in the air – Jace's words, Alex's unexpected comeback, and all the raw feelings tangled up inside. It's a lot to process. Why now, of all times? And Jace, with his talk of not rejecting me, what's his deal? Was it all just an act for Alex? But if he was going to reject me why not just let Alex try and fix the bond? I mean if he could them maybe, just maybe I wouldn't It's enough to make anyone's head spin. Standing there, trying to steady myself, it's like the ground's shifting beneath your feet. Decisions are looming, big ones, and they're not going to be easy. But hey, that's life, right? Full of curveballs and surprises. I take a breath, give myself a moment, and remember, I've got this. Well, I think I do."This is all incredibly overwhelming," I muttered, my voice barely a whisper. "I need my nest, and I need it now." The words felt heavy in my mouth, a desperate

    I had to fight Fenrir to regain control, but I couldn't let him kill the alpha in front of us. And after having her in his arms and burying his nose in her hair he finally relented. The alpha, Alex, was trying to enter Renee's apartment, and the tension was palpable. I could smell the burning air, a sign of Renee's distress, and it was all I could do to keep myself from lashing out at Alex. The scent of charred honeysuckle filled my nostrils, and an overwhelming urge to protect her consumed me. I realized that Renee was my mate, and this understanding brought a sense of clarity and purpose. Blocking the doorway, I stood firm, my eyes never leaving Alex's face. I could sense Renee's anxiety, and an unfamiliar, yet comforting, desire to purr to soothe her washed over me. It was then that the realization hit me like a ton of bricks. Renee wasn't an omega, or so I thought. But the way she affected me, the depth of my need to protect and comfort her, suggested something more. As I grapple

  • Rejected and Desired   Chapter 18: Renee

    As I take a step towards the door, a whimper escapes my throat, a sound I cannot control. I am usually strong, but with the omega's command, I am reduced to this—a mere follower of orders. But just as I am about to step and to reach for the doorknob, a strong arm wraps around my waist, pulling me back into a firm chest. I recognize the scent immediately—it's him. My alpha. NO! I can't think that that, but Jasmine is pushing it trying to make me see this is the truth. I refuse to listen. He holds me close, and I can feel his growl vibrating through his chest. I know he is upset, and I can't help but to start to whine low in my throat. I hate that I've upset him. But then, suddenly, his growl stops, and he starts to purr. He buries his nose in my hair, inhaling my scent, and I can feel his warm breath on my neck. It's comforting and reassuring, and I know he's not truly angry with me. I relax into his embrace, feeling safe and protected. He nuzzles my hair, a possessive gesture, and I

    ReneeI know who is at the door before they even knock. I don't know how Alex found me, but I don't want to see him. I am hoping he will smell another male here and leave. So, when he does know I can help but whimper. He can not come in here. I don't even want Fenrir to open the door. I can't rest. He may be able to smell the difference in my scent to what he once knew it was. So, when Fenrir growls towards the door, getting to his feet, I jump up, every ungraceful like. But I am able to get in front of him before he answers the door. I stand with my arms and legs spread out. It works. He stops and gives me an odd look."Please don't answer it." I beg with a whine. I never wanted any of this and if this is my last day I don't want it ruined. Because Alex is if he thinks I am what I am he will take me and claim me without second thought. I don't want that. I will never be free to be who I am around him or my old pack. I can't go back."Do you know who it is?" He asked me. I don't want

    Jace's WolfI don't understand. Mate has tears in her eyes. Her beautiful hazel eyes that look more gold then green right now. I know she is skidish I also know something the human does not. She is more special than he knows, and He can figure it out himself because right now she doesn't want to tell him for some reason but that is a later problem. The right now problem is that she is going to cry, her scent sours, I need to fix it. What was it she said? No one likes her? I don't understand that I instantly loved her because I know she was made for me. I want to hold her and tell her that. But I can't for two reasons. One it will scare her, and I don't know if she will run. I don't want that."I like you lots. I am sorry little one, my name is Fenrir. I did not mean to upset you." I step just a little closer to her. And while I don't allow myself to get too close, I purr for her to show her that I didn't mean to or want to cause her any distress.
