83: IN EIGHT MONTHS

The flames danced in the fireplace, illuminating the blue room. The place was quiet, the only noises came from the crackling wood and flying sparks.

The sweet smell of the wood held the strongest memory for King Kanyon. This was the place he sat for days upon days after Ellie died. A place where no sunlight or moonlight could enter. There weren't any windows for life to beam through. Just a fireplace and without it being lit, the place remained dark. There was no way to know whether it was night or day unless you go through the one door leading out into the south corridors.

Even though the mulled wine warmed him up inside, Priestess Constance's cold gaze left him feeling frozen. He waited for one of the servers to give the woman her requested drink; blood from a lamb. The server kept her head low as she handed off the glass to the priestess before leaving the room in a hurry.

"You seem different," she finally spoke, her face hidden behind curtains of black veils. Only her pier

    'Don't do it Kanyon, we can't let her know we've found a second chance mate. At least not yet,' Sinbad warned. Kanyon was itching to tell the priestess that the Moon Goddess had gifted him another mate, but his beast was correct. He couldn't spill the beans now, not until Jessica was in the loop and he felt she was safe. Constance had already passed a bill stating that if no one from the Blackwood bloodline came forward to claim the throne by the fifteenth year after Eleanor's and Melissa's deaths, then the kingdom and all its wealth would go to her and her adoptive daughter April. And who knew what she'd do if she finds out that the last Blackwood heir was the king's new mate. "Have I made myself clear?" Constance's voice boomed with authority. "Of course, priestess Constance," Kanyon nodded. "Then that's settled," she sighed. "I'll take a look around your castle grounds, and then I'll take my leave." "You're not staying the night?" Kanyon asked. "Don't act so sad, but

    Kanyon waited for them all to catch their breaths. He shared every secret he had been holding in with them, including the fact that Jessica comes from royalty. "So my cousin is the last surviving Blackwood?" Ariel added. "I knew that girl was special all along." "Your Majesty, if this is indeed true and she is your mate, then you must marry her," Lucy added. "You shouldn't allow the priestess to push you into a marriage with Anna." "I agree. I love Anna. She's like family to me, but you have to do right by your mate first, King Kanyon. This is what the Moon Goddess wants," Alpha Daniel gave his two cents. "I'm fully aware of all this," Kanyon spat. "I still have eight months to figure something out." Cameron stayed silent during all of this. "Master Cameron, you haven't said a word," Alpha Daniel pointed out. "What are you thinking?" "Kanyon knows what I'm thinking," Cam huffed. "He shouldn't wait, he should marry, mate and mark Jessica as soon as possible." "Cameron,

    Jessica walked back and forth, waiting for the escort Lucy had said would come to take her to her cousin, but she was getting frustrated and restless as nearly twenty minutes passed with no sign of anyone to accompany her. "That's it," she stomped her feet hard on the ground. "I'm going to the diamond wing to find Ariel's room myself," she said, deciding that she would not stand around and wait on this person. Plus, she had to learn how to navigate her way around the castle, anyway. She swung the door open and took a quick look outside. She rolled her eyes when she saw Zachery leaning against the wall, chewing on a toothpick. His smug face made her stomach churn. "What do you want?" She asked, folding her arms at her chest and waiting for his answer. This man had been trouble since the moment she met him. She knew his type, young, good-looking and conceited. He reminded her of Cory, and that alone was the only red-flag she needed to let her know to stay away from Zachery. "

    "Ellie. You must come with me or the king will get suspicious." Zachery tried to drag Jessica along since she refused to ride his back. She realized his cold, hard eyes had nothing but wickedness in them. How could he be of the same kin as King Kanyon? Kanyon was so nice and had a kind heart. "How can you just stand here and pretend like you are a true follower of your king?" Jessica spoke with scorn. "I know you only brought me to the queen's keep to try to turn me against Kanyon. But it won't work," she scowled. "And my name is Jessica, not Ellie." "What?" "You called me Ellie," she snickered. "You two must have been pretty close for you to be calling her by her nickname. Seems you're the one who sees Ellie every time you look at me." He rolled his eyes. "No wonder your mate rejected you. You're so stupid." Jessica’s heart plummeted in her chest, hurt by his remark. She swallowed hard before she replied. “I may have been too trusting at one point in my life, but I'm far f

    "Girl, I got the distress signal!" Ariel squealed. She dropped her bag next to the door before running into Jessica's arms. "I'm so glad to see you," Jessica sniffled, and soon her tears were wetting Ariel's shoulder. "Hey, honey. What's wrong?" Ariel pulled back so she could look at Jessica's face. "What's with the tears?" she used her thumbs to dry Jess's face. "King Kanyon. He's a big fat liar and a cheat.""Oh shit!" Ariel shrieked. She bent down and picked up her bag. "It's a good thing I brought booze and chocolates." She pulled out a fancy looking bottle holding a brown liquid. "But I'm not twenty-one yet," Jessica let out. "Girl please, with all the stress and issues we omegas deal with, we could easily pass for sixty, right?" Ariel wiggled her brows. "Come on, let's drink and talk about what that sexy king of yours did to have you crying like this."An hour later and the girls were slurring their words. Jessica was feeling much better as she finished telling Ariel about

    "WHO THE FUCK IS BANGING ON MY DOOR AT THIS HOUR?" Kanyon roared as he stepped angrily from his bathtub and onto his ceramic tile covered floor. "Hold your damn horses!" He shouted. He was on edge because he hadn't seen Jessica since this morning, and had acted so cold towards him. Plus now he had to go spend the night with that energy draining she-wolf, thanks to his idiotic second. Kanyon wrapped a towel around his lower torso, not even bothering to dry his hair as he stormed towards his front door, he stopped in his tracks when he smelt the sweet smell of his mate seeping through the cracks of the door. He pulled it open. "Jessica, what are you doing here?" he asked, admiring how sexy she looked in that oversized sweater and bunny slippers she wore."I came to see you, buddy," she snarled, using her finger to poke his nipple. When she felt it hardened against her fingertip, she dropped her hand and held the king's gaze. His pupils were dilated with a playful smirk on his lips. "I

    The sound of thunder grew louder, and the sky became even darker. Flashes of lightning shone through the glass windows and across Jessica's pretty face, illuminating her features. Kanyon could feel her breath warming his skin, and the rumbles of thunder sounded once more as if the sky were cheering them on. His eyes roamed over her chest, her perky breasts sitting firmly watching him. He licked his lips and asked, "Can I?" She nodded her head, biting on her bottom lip, shaking in his grasp as he teased her lips with his tongue. "No, Jessica, I need you to use your words," he fumed. "Can I suck your nipples?" "Yes, you can." A pink tint took over her nose and cheeks. Kanyon held her by her underarms, lifting her up and setting her to sit on the countertop. She propped one leg over his shoulder while he pressed the other down on the surface of the counter. With his long fingers, he shifted her underwear to the side. His middle finger didn't waste any time as it found her h

    "So is he hot?" Falcon asked his friend as they staked out the gates leading to the Quail Ruins."Is who hot?" Reniece urged. "Come on, girl. You know who I'm talking about," the guy wearing the two layers of make-up asked. "Your mate, duh." He was summoned by his dearest friend to go on this mission. He just couldn't get over the fact that she had found her soulmate."Why did I ever open my big mouth and tell you I found my mate? I should have kept it shut," Ren sighed. “Just lower your damn voice before the guards notice us and make trouble.”"OK honey, but we are using that black card when we leave here. Mama needs some new lingerie," Falcon purred. "You know, for a rogue you're very high maintenance," Reniece pointed out. They were both masking their scents as they hid behind some shrubs that was situated before the gates leading up the hill to the Quail Ruins Mansion. "I wasn't born a rogue. You know my father kicked me out when I told him I am gay," Falcon explained. Ren kne

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   🤒 NOTICE 😫

    Hello, guys. Sorry for missing my updates yesterday and the day before, but I’ve been under the weather for almost a week now. I contracted the Influenza A virus. While the fever and headache is manageable, I can’t seem to keep anything inside my stomach. I’m throwing up and I have a severe case of diarrhea. Luckily I was only admitted to the hospital for a day while they tried to get my body back to a hydrated state. I am alone at home now since my husband is away for business. I’m waiting on my friend to stop by with some chicken soup. But If I feel better today, I will update a chapter or two. But my eyes literally hurt staring at my computer screen for too long so I might wait until the morning. But you don’t have to worry, I am going to finish the story with a bang. And please don’t hate me for what will be coming in the next few chapters. I have some sad news to reveal in the coming chapters. So hang tight. Thank you guys for your support. I hope you are staying safe out there

  • THE REJECTED OMEGA IS THE LYCAN KING’S MATE   148: THE ANNOUNCEMENT

    "Are you nervous, my love?" Kanyon asked as he watched Jessica fix her earring in her ear. "Are you kidding? I'm thrilled! I've never been this happy in my life," she beamed. “Hearing you say that puts a smile on my face. Are you sure there isn't anything else I can do to make this day even more special?""No there isn't. Everything is perfect." "Alright," Kanyon sighed. "I'm going to have to return what I got you then.”"You got me something?" "Of course, but I'm afraid the surprises were too big to wrap.""Surprises?" Jessica wondered where he had time to go shopping since the last three days had been super hectic for everyone. The triplets and Anna’s baby were a handful. "Mamaaaaaaa!" Ariel's voice rang out as she burst through the door. She dashed over to Jessica and wrapped her in a huge bear hug. "Look at you. Childbirth has been good to you. Look at those boobies.""Wh - what are you doing here? I just spoke to you, and you said you were at the Warmblood pack,” Jessica let

    The next day, people travelled in scores from near and far to gather in the castle's courtyard to get a glimpse of their future king. News of the birth of the heir spread like Hollywood gossip throughout the kingdom.Jessica was feeling much better. She was on the phone with Ariel, who had also given birth to a son a week earlier. "It's chaos over here, cous," Jessica sighed. "There are hundreds of people out in the courtyard waiting to see KJ.""I can only imagine. So where's Kanyon?" Ariel asked. "He's having a meeting with the council members right now to tell them I am the one who produced the heir and not that bitch, Annabella," Jessica hissed. "What did that bitch say when she found out her son is not the heir?""She doesn't know as yet. She's been sleeping since she gave birth yesterday," Jessica said. "I'm just glad my son is the heir and not hers, but I still won't interfere with how Kanyon chooses to take care of him. That baby is as much his as my children are.""True,"

    After the storm, the morning unfolded with a sense of calm and peace. King Kanyon held his wife firmly in his arms as he carried her back to the castle while Lucy cradled the young prince in her arms and Master Cameron wrapped his arms around the cooing princesses. "I'm so tired!" Jessica muttered against Kanyon's neck. "I know, my love. We are almost home. I'll take you to the hospital so you and our children can get checked out, and then I'll take you back to the room," Kanyon responded. "But - but the nursery only has two cribs and two of everything else," Jessica complained. "I need to get some stuff for our son.""Shh. No need to stress, I'll arrange for one of everything to be at the nursery before the day ends. Just concentrate on getting your rest." Kanyon kissed her head. The guards at the East gates were on standby for them. The king used his mindlink to clue them in on which gates he'd be arriving at. As soon as they arrived, the guards bowed before letting them in.

    Kanyan took his shirt off to wrap his daughter in and then carefully laid the baby down. Jessica was still in agony as Lucy screamed at her, telling her to push. "I can't do this," Jessica sobbed. "I'm too tired." Her head felt light, and her muscles seemed like they were on fire. "Sure you can." Kanyon held her hand. "You're one of the strongest women I've ever met. Now push so we can meet our other baby.""OK. OK," she sniffled. Lucy was in position. "Come on, Jessica. You can do this."Jessica set aside the pain and concentrated on the adorable sounds coming from her daughter, and soon she found the energy she needed to keep going. She screamed loudly, teeth clenched tight while her body did its thing. "That's it. You're doing great, mama," Lucy commented. "I see a head. Keep pushing!""Only a few more minutes, Jess, and then this will all be over," Kanyon chimed in. Lucy's eyes widened as the second baby slid into her hands. This one cries were also powerful. Kanyon took th

    It was already 7 pm and Kanyon was exhausted. After receiving pain medication from the doctor, Anna finally drifted off to sleep. Dr. Clarke informed the king that Anna might deliver as soon as 8 am the following morning. Kanyon sensed something strange, almost like Jessica was out of reach. So he tried to reach out to her via mindlink, but the connection was blank. 'That's strange,' Sinbad stated. 'No. It's not strange if she is too far away to connect to our link.'Kanyon bumped into Cameron on his way back to his room. "Hey man. Has she had the baby yet?" Cam asked. "No. Maybe early tomorrow morning or late tomorrow evening. Have you seen Jessica?" Kanyon asked. "No. Not since she got back from the market this morning," he answered. "Why?""She's not responding to my mindlink." "Damn!" Cam muttered. Both men quickly made their way to the king's quarters. "Jessica?" Kanyon called out as he checked the bedroom and master bathroom. "Twinkle? Are you in here, girl?" Cam check

    Annabella squirmed in agony while the medical team rolled her on the stretcher to the royal delivery room. "You fucking cunts!" Anna screamed. "I need something for the pain!" she gritted her teeth as she grabbed the arm of the paramedic. She squeezed it so hard her nails dug into his flesh. "We can't give you anything yet, Anna. Not until your blood test comes back, and we know what has sent you into early labour," Nurse Cakes explained. "Fuck you, bitch!" Anna gathered some saliva in her mouth and hurled it at Nurse Cake's face. Another contraction hit her. "Ahhhhhh! WOOOOOH!" she howled in pain. "Quick. Get her on the bed," Dr. Clarke ordered as they made it to the royal birthing room. "Now Anna, you're gonna stay still while Nurse Cake's take a sample of your blood, then I want you to open your legs for me so I can take a peek at what's happening.""You don't need a PhD to know what's happening doctor," she shouted. "Can't you see I'm in labour?" "Take a deep breath," Nurse C

    "Slow down, ma'am. The doctor said you should take time to chew your food." Nurse Cakes snapped as she fed Anna her breakfast. "You know I'm a doctor too. I know stuff," Anna burped and then licked the gravy off her fingers. "I can't walk or leave this room. Hell, I can't even wash my own ass and pussy, so if eating like a pig helps with this fucking depression, then you better feed me, bitch!" Anna yelled. "Now I need more potatoes and gravy. And please be more generous with the fried chicken."The nurse exhaled heavily. "Yes ma'am. I'll send word to the kitchen now." Nurse Cakes got up and made her way over to the other nurse, who was standing by the window. "What's Cruella's problem now?" Nurse Lennox asked. "She wants more food," Nurse cakes rolled her eyes. "But hasn't she had enough already?""I told her, but she doesn't seem to care." "She's so irritating. I'm so glad she's not our queen," Nurse Brown confessed. "That would have been a fucking nightmare.""You're totally r

    Cameron, Reniece, Lucy, Theodore, and Falcon were at the hospital waiting room, nervously walking around while they anticipated to hear if Jessica was fine. "It's been an hour. Why's Kanyon taking forever to let us know if Twinkle's okay?” Cameron nervously chewed on his nails, looking really worried. Reniece hugged him from behind. "Jessica is a strong woman. She'll be alright," Ren kissed the back of his shoulder. "Maybe she's in labour," Theodore added. "But isn't it like too soon for that?" Falcon asked. "Please, let's just keep the king and queen in our prayers and hope for the best," Lucy hissed. "All this talking is making me more nervous than I already am."The mage received a warm hug from Cameron and Reniece. "I know. You're right. We are all worried about Jessica. Let's just wait for the king to hear what he has to say," Cameron recited. ******The doctors and nurses were sweating like they were on death row.
