Return of The Rejected Omega Chapter 44
The gunshot echoed in the confined space, reverberating through metal walls like a thunderclap. Time stretched, distorted. I saw the bullet leave the chamber. Saw Silas try to dive sideways, too slow without his wolf's reflexes. Saw Angela's face, calm and focused, a scientist completing an experiment.And then—nothing.The world went black. Not the darkness of unconsciousness or death, but something deeper. A void. Empty of light, of sound, of sensation.Except I wasn't alone.About fucking time.Rona's voice—stronger than it had been in months, since that night in the temple when our connection had shattered. Not distant or fragmented, but present. Immediate.Where are we? I tried to look around, but had no body to turn, no eyes to see.Inside. Between. Does it matter? Her irritation was familiar, almost comforting. We're where we need to be to fix this shitstorm you've created.I didn't—Save it, princess. We don't have time for your guilt complex. Your sister's trying to kill your

The city walls appeared through the morning haze like a jagged wound in the landscape. What had been imposing two days ago now looked fragile—sheets of rusted metal held together by desperation and habit. Black smoke billowed from multiple points within, and even from this distance, we could hear the chaos—screams, gunshots, the unmistakable sound of things breaking."Something's wrong," Silas said, stating the obvious as he adjusted Alexander's weight in his arms. The boy had fallen unconscious again after our escape, his small body struggling to integrate the changes the partial transfer had initiated.Veronica checked his pulse for the twentieth time in as many minutes. "His condition is stabilizing, but he needs shelter. Proper medical attention."I studied the city through my transformed vision. The corruption had altered my left eye, splitting the pupil like a wolf's, enhancing my perception beyond normal limits. Through it, I could see energy patterns flowing through the wall—h

Model BehaviorBlood. So much blood.I jolted awake with a gasp, my body launching upright before my mind could catch up. Cold sweat plastered my silk nightgown to my skin. My heart hammered against my ribs like it was trying to escape. For a moment, I couldn't remember where I was.The nightmare clung to me like a second skin, but its details were already fading, slipping away like water through cupped hands. All I could grasp was a vague sense of dread and the lingering image of someone—myself?—staring back at me with my own face.I pressed my palm to my forehead, trying to slow my breathing. My apartment gradually came into focus around me—expensive minimalist furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows showing New York's glittering skyline, the kind of luxury I'd never imagined I could afford.This was real. This was my life now. Not whatever horror show my subconscious had conjured up.I swung my legs over the edge of the bed, my toes curling against the cold hardwood floor. The clock on

I stared at the pile of clothes on my bed, trying to decide what to pack. Not that it mattered. Nothing about returning to Blood Moon was going to be comfortable, regardless of what I wore. "I can't believe I'm doing this," I muttered, tossing another pair of jeans into my suitcase. 'We should have done this sooner,' Rona growled in my mind. Her voice had grown stronger every day since Silas reappeared in my life. "No one asked you," I snapped, grabbing a handful of underwear from my drawer. My wolf had become increasingly vocal since the visions started. Ever since I'd reluctantly told Silas I'd return to the pack, Rona had been practically giddy with excitement. It was annoying as hell. 'You know we belong there,' she insisted. 'With him.' "I don't belong anywhere near those people." I slammed the drawer shut with unnecessary force. "And especially not with him." A knock on my bedroom door interrupted our internal argument. Silas. I could smell him now, that distinctive scent

The drive back to Blood Moon territory was excruciating. Six hours of tense silence broken only by occasional directions from Silas or the low hum of the radio. I kept my gaze fixed out the window, watching as the urban landscape gradually gave way to rolling countryside and then the dense forests that marked the outskirts of pack lands. My stomach clenched tighter with every mile. Memories I'd spent years suppressing came flooding back—the cell, the betrayal, my father's cold eyes as he told me I'd be executed at dawn. 'Breathe,' Rona urged, sensing my panic. 'They can't hurt us anymore.' But the closer we got to pack lands, the more agitated she became too. I could feel her pacing restlessly within me, her excitement building despite my dread. "You okay?" Silas asked, glancing at me as we turned onto a gravel road I remembered all too well. "Peachy," I replied flatly, digging my nails into my palms to ground myself. He frowned. "Your scent changed. You're afraid." "I'm not afr

Rona rumbled with approval in my mind as I walked past my stunned father. I could feel her satisfaction at his shocked expression, at the way several pack members nearby had overheard and were now staring at us with wide eyes.Silas followed me inside, a hint of something like admiration in his expression."I'll show you to your room," he said, guiding me toward the east wing of the pack house.I noticed we were heading to the Alpha family's private quarters, not the guest rooms or, worse, the cells in the basement. It was a pointed statement about my position here—under Silas's personal protection.The hallways were eerily quiet. In the past, they would have been bustling with pack members, especially now, in the late afternoon. But the few wolves we passed moved with a subdued air, their expressions tense and wary. Several openly glared at me, while others quickly averted their eyes."They blame me," I observed quietly.Silas nodded. "Many do. It's easier than facing the truth.""Wh

Dinner was exactly the nightmare I'd expected. Silas had escorted me to the dining hall at precisely seven, his hand hovering near the small of my back but never quite touching me. The room fell silent as we entered, dozens of eyes tracking our movement to the head table.I recognized most of the faces, though five years had changed them. Some looked older than they should have, stress and worry etching lines where there should be none. Others regarded me with open hostility, whispering behind their hands as we passed.My father sat at the high table, his face a carefully controlled mask of indifference. Beside him was an empty chair where my mother would have sat, and next to that, a chair that would have been Angela's. The seating arrangement was a pointed reminder of my absence—and their belief that I didn't belong.Silas guided me to his right—the Luna's traditional place—which sent a fresh wave of whispers through the hall. The symbolism wasn't lost on anyone, least of all my fat

I barely slept that night. Every creak of the old pack house set my nerves on edge, and Rona's restlessness didn't help. She paced through my mind like a caged animal, alternating between excitement at being back in pack territory and rage at those who had wronged us.By the time dawn broke, I was sitting in the window seat, watching the forest come alive with early morning light. The trees looked the same as they had five years ago—tall pines stretching toward the sky, their branches swaying gently in the breeze. It was almost possible to believe nothing had changed.Almost.'Today they will see our strength,' Rona growled, her anticipation making my skin tingle."Today they'll see me keep my cool," I corrected, stretching my stiff muscles. "We're here for answers, not revenge."'Why not both?' she challenged, and I couldn't help the small smile that tugged at my lips.A sharp knock on my door interrupted our internal debate. I pulled my robe tighter and crossed the room, already kno

"Blood calls to blood," he continued smoothly. "Bond calls to bond. Did you really think I wouldn't anticipate your approach? The tunnels were the obvious choice once we secured the perimeter."There was no point in continuing the charade. I pushed aside the ceiling panel and dropped into the room, landing in a crouch. My father followed a moment later."Right on schedule," Logan said, unfazed. "Allow me to introduce our investors. They've been most eager to meet you."The three visitors turned, and I realized with shock that they weren't human or wolf—their eyes had the same silver sheen as the hybrids, but their faces were fully human, their movements natural."Successful integrations," Logan explained, noting my surprise. "First-generation hybrids, now fully stabilized. They've been funding our research for years.""You're playing with forces you don't understand," I said, eyes fixed on Silas. His face was bruised, one eye swollen shut, but he was fully conscious, watching me inten

Mason and Liam returned with good news—the old sewage tunnels were intact, partially collapsed in places but navigable. Better yet, they showed no signs of surveillance or recent human activity."There's a junction box here," Mason explained, marking a spot on the blueprint. "From there, maintenance tunnels lead to the main building, the east wing, and the old spa complex. We found signs of recent activity in the east wing tunnel.""That's where they're keeping Silas," I said with certainty. Through our bond, I'd felt him being moved earlier, the disorientation and pain as guards dragged him somewhere.The rescue team assembled at nightfall—myself, my father, Mason, and six other wolves chosen for strength and stealth. Liam had wanted to come, but I'd refused. He was too young, too inexperienced, and had already risked enough."The objective is extraction only," my father reminded everyone as we gathered at the territory's edge. "We locate Silas, neutralize immediate threats, and with

"We can't just storm the place," my father said, pointing to the satellite images spread across the council table. "The Blackwater Resort has one road in, three miles of shoreline, and Logan's people watching every approach."Four hours of sleep hadn't been enough. My body ached, my head throbbed, and the bond with Silas pulsed like an infected wound. I could feel him—alive, in pain, conscious now—but couldn't reach him."Then we don't use the obvious approaches," I countered, leaning over the map. "What about underwater? The east side of the peninsula?"Mason shook his head. "Too many cameras. They've set up a surveillance perimeter extending two hundred yards into the lake."The council room held every high-ranking pack member who could be spared from border patrol. Twelve hours since we'd lost Silas, and tension hung thick in the air. An Alpha in enemy hands was more than a tactical problem—it was a psychological wound."What about the old sewage tunnels?" Bella suggested, pointing

We made it to the stairwell without incident, but as we descended toward the ground floor, a voice called out from above."Hey! Where are you taking them?"I turned to see a guard leaning over the railing, suspicious."Safe zone C," I replied, hoping it meant something.His eyes narrowed. "There is no safe zone C."So much for bluffing. "Run!" I shouted, shoving Liam and Eliza ahead of me down the stairs. Silas took up the rear as guards shouted and gave chase.We burst through the ground floor door into chaos—alarms blaring, security personnel rushing about, voices shouting contradictory orders. Perfect cover for our escape, if we could navigate through it."This way," Silas urged, guiding us toward a side exit. We were almost there when a figure stepped into our path.Logan.He looked different from the delivery room—back in his customary suit, composed and coldly amused. Behind him stood two hybrids, their unnatural forms partially concealed by loose clothing."Stella," he greeted

I finished preparing, strapping silver knives to my thighs and slipping a third into my boot. The pendant warmed against my chest, somehow comforting despite my lingering suspicion of my father's motives.We gathered at the eastern edge of pack territory as twilight deepened into night. Silas, Liam, Eliza, and me—a small team, unencumbered by weapons except for the silver blades we each carried. Speed and stealth were our priorities."Lake Carson is fifteen miles east," Silas briefed us. "The resort sits on a peninsula jutting into the water. We'll approach from the forest side, using the trees for cover. Once there, we observe only. We're looking for security patterns, entrance points, and Angela's location within the complex.""What about hybrids?" Liam asked, nervously fingering the silver knife at his belt."Avoid them," Silas said firmly. "We're not there to engage. If spotted, retreat immediately to the rendezvous point." He pointed to a location on the map he'd brought. "Questi

I stood, needing to move, to process what we'd seen. "The Blackwater Resort. You're sure?"Silas nodded. "Positive. My father considered buying it a few years ago. I visited the property with him.""Then we know where they are," I said. "We need to move fast, before they relocate.""We need a plan first," Silas countered. "That place is massive—multiple buildings, underground levels, surrounded by water on three sides and forest on the fourth. And now they know we've found them."He was right, damn him. Rushing in would be suicide, especially against Logan's hybrids and whatever other security they had in place."Reconnaissance," I said reluctantly. "Small team, minimal footprint. Get the lay of the land, assess their numbers and defenses.""I'll lead it," Silas volunteered."No," I said firmly. "You're still recovering from the silver poisoning. I'll go.""Absolutely not," he objected, standing to face me. "You're their primary target. If Logan gets his hands on you again—""I'm not

Sleep didn't come easy. I tossed in my bed, thoughts jumping between Marie's silver-eyed baby and whatever the hell we were planning to do tomorrow. Using our bond to find Angela sounded good when I suggested it—now, in the darkness of my room, it seemed like inviting trouble.I woke before dawn, abandoning the pretense of rest. The quiet hours belonged to me anyway, had ever since New York. I pulled on jeans and a sweater, slipped out of my room, and headed for the training grounds. Physical exertion might clear my head.Frost covered the grass, crunching under my boots. My breath formed clouds in the pre-dawn air. Winter was settling in hard, earlier than usual. The cold felt good against my skin, still too warm from the renewed bond. Like I was running a perpetual low-grade fever.I started with basics—stretches, then push-ups, sit-ups, mountain climbers. The routine felt familiar, grounding. In the human world, I'd discovered discipline through training, building strength when I'd

I woke to the taste of bile in my mouth and the worst headache of my life. My body felt wrong, like my skin had been removed, flipped inside out, and put back on. Every nerve ending screamed. Every muscle ached. And my mind—my mind was the worst. Thoughts that weren't mine flickered at the edges of my consciousness, emotions I didn't recognize washed over me in waves.I barely made it to the edge of the bed before vomiting violently onto the floor. Someone rushed forward with a basin, but it was too late."Easy," a voice said. Zeta Ruth. "The bond shock is normal. It will pass."I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, trying to focus through the pain in my head. "Silas?" My voice was raw, barely a whisper."Next door. Recovering, like you."Relief flooded me, immediately followed by a burst of foreign emotion—confusion, disorientation, concern. His emotions, bleeding through the renewed bond."Make it stop," I gasped, clutching my head. "It's too much."Zeta Ruth handed me a cup of

The elders agreed to my terms, of course. What choice did they have? Silas would die without the ritual, and the pack needed both of us.The ceremony room was deep beneath the pack house, a circular chamber carved from bedrock, walls decorated with ancient symbols of the Moon Goddess. Moonlight filtered in through a shaft in the ceiling, illuminating a raised stone platform in the center. Behind it stood a carved altar bearing ceremonial knives, bowls, and herbs.Zeta Clara, the oldest of the pack elders, supervised the preparations. Pack members laid Silas on the platform, his body covered only by a thin sheet. The black poison lines stood out starkly against his pale skin, like veins of obsidian beneath the surface. I could see how they pulsed with each labored heartbeat."You understand what this ritual entails?" Zeta Clara asked me as I changed into the simple white shift they'd provided."Bella explained it.""Not just physically," she pressed. "Spiritually. Emotionally. You will
