THE REJECTED OMEGA’S MATE : a tale of unexpected love Chapter 23
*JORDYN'S POV*(Earlier)I sat with Josh in my office, staring blankly at the paper in my hand. My mind was a million miles away, consumed by thoughts that had been plaguing me for days.Josh’s sudden question snapped back to reality.“Are you okay?” He asked, his brows furrowed with concern.I looked up at him, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. I wanted to confide in him, something that had been burning inside me. But I hesitated, unsure if I was ready to reveal something so personal.“Josh…,” I began, my voice barely above a whisper.Josh’s eyes locked onto mine, his gaze was patient and encouraging. He knew me too well, and I could sense his curiosity piqued.“I think I found my mate…” I said finally, the words tumbling out in a rush.Josh’s expression changed from curiosity to shock. His eyes widened and His mouth opened slightly, as if he was about to say something But couldn't quite form the words. I watched him intently, anxious about his reaction.But to my surprise, his

*JORDYN’S POV*The girls, on the other hand, seemed friendly and enthusiastic, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was off.As they led her out of the arena, I decided to follow them. I couldn’t trust anyone in the arena, and I knew that if they discovered she was wolfless, they’d pounce on her like vultures. I kept a safe distance, using my ability to mask my presence so they wouldn’t smell me.***As we ventured deeper into the woods, the atmosphere grew thick with tension. The girls’ laughter and chatter turned into sinister whispers, and their eyes gleamed with a vicious light. Brianne seemed oblivious to the danger, but I could sense her unease growing.Suddenly, the girls stopped at a clearing, and their expressions transformed into snarls.One of them lunged forward, while the other two grabbed Brianne’s arms.My instinct screamed at me to intervene, but I remained still, watching and waiting.The girl who lunged forward now had a cruel grin on her face.I stood

*BRIANNE’S POV*“Morning, ma’am,” I greeted, standing attention in front of her.She gazed at me for a few seconds, her expression unreadable. “It’d be good if you stayed out of trouble,” She finally spoke, her voice firm, but not unkind.I bowed my head slightly in agreement, feeling a twinge of guilt. Did she know about the incident in the woods?As she turned to walk away, a sudden thought flashed through my mind. I hadn’t seen Sophia and her friends since I arrived at the pack house.“Sorry, ma’am, do you know where I can find Sophia and her friends?” I asked, trying to sound nonchalant. I wasn’t asking because I wanted to meet up with them, but because I was curious about their absence.The instructor’s expression turned guarded and she hesitated before responding. “Expelled!” She said before leaving.What? Expelled? They just expelled them, just like that?I stood there in shock. I knew this was Alpha Jordyn’s doing, but aren’t there better ways to resolve this?Just as I was abo

*BRIANNE’S POV*I was lost in thought all day. Even during the training I couldn’t focus on the task at hand. My mind kept drifting back to Alpha Jordyn, our kiss, what he had said this morning.I couldn’t picture myself in a real relationship with him. What would people say if they found out? Would they accept me as their Alpha’s mate, or would they see me as a weak and unworthy partner?As the day wore on, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that my life was about to change forever. The thought sent shivers down my spine.I tried to picture myself standing by Alpha Jordyn’s side, facing the pack as his mate.Would they respect me, or would they see me as a liability? The uncertainty gnawed at my confidence, making me question everything.The sound of my name suddenly pulled me out of my thoughts. “Brianne, get ready!” The training instructor called out, her voice firm and commanding.“Today’s training is hand-to-hand combat, and you’re up next!”I had totally forgotten about the traini

*BRIANNE’S POV*I sat in stunned silence, my eyes wide with wonder as I took in my extravagant surroundings.I had thought Alpha Jordyn would be taking us to a restaurant, but instead, he drove us to a magnificent mansion, its grandeur and luxury far exceeding my expectations.The soft glow of candles flickered on the table, casting a warm ambiance over the lavish spread of dishes before us. I felt like I had entered a fairytale, but my nerves refused to settle. The fact that we were alone, with only a discreet waiter hovering in the background, made my anxiety escalate.Alpha Jordyn’s gaze remained fixed on me, his eyes burning with a vigor that made my skin prickle. I fidgeted with my napkin, unsure of what to do with myself.“Relax,” He suddenly spoke. He seemed to have seen through my anxiousness. “We’re just going to enjoy a quiet dinner together.”I nodded, trying to calm my nerves, but my eyes kept darting back to him. There was something about him that made me feel like I was

*BRIANNE’S POV*As we broke apart for a moment, gasping for air, he whispered, “Mine, you’re mine Brianne,” His voice was mild but hoarse.As I gazed at him, my vision blurred with tears I didn’t even know I was shedding.“What’s wrong? Did I hurt you?” Jordyn’s brows furrowed, the concern evident in his voice.I shook my head, trying to speak, but my voice cracked. “W-what would people say?” I stammered, my fear of other’s judgment and rejection overwhelming me.Jordyn’s expression darkened, his eye flashing with an unrelenting force. “I don’t care what people think!” He growled. “You’re my mate, Brianne. That’s all that matters.”But I couldn’t shake off the doubt and fear.“B-But Jordyn…I’m an omega, and you’re the Alpha,” I sobbed, feeling like I was unworthy of him.His face twisted in frustration. “Does that make you any less of a wolf? Any less deserving of love and respect?” He demanded, his voice rising.I looked up at him, my face stained with tears. “I’m wolfless,” I whispe

*BRIANNE’S POV*I rolled my eyes, playfully hitting her arm. “Mary, this is serious. I don’t know what to do.”Mary’s expression turned to concern, her voice softening. “Bri, how do you feel? That’s all that matters. Don’t worry about what others think.” She said.I hesitated, unsure of my emotions. “I don’t know…I feel confused, excited, and scared all at once.” I whispered.Mary nodded understandingly. “You clearly like him, it’s obvious. But I get why you’re hesitant. You think he’s way out of your league, that’s why.” She said with a sheepish grin.I blushed, feeling a bit self-conscious. “Mary stop it, that’s not helping.”Mary held up her hands in defense. “Sorry, sorry! I just want you to be happy, Bri. Embrace your feelings, and see where this journey takes you.” She advised, her eyes shining with concern and support.Mary suddenly playfully raised her eyebrows. “So…is Alpha Jordyn a good kisser?” She asked with a sly grin dancing on her face.Mary’s playful manner was infecti

*BRIANNE’S POV*As I walked away from Harriet, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of empathy towards her. She had been through so much, and yet, she still managed to be kind and caring toward others.I couldn’t help but wonder what crime she had been falsely accused of, and how she had ended up in the silver-black pack.But as I approached Jordyn’s office, my mind began to wander to my own situation.If I were to mate with Jordyn, I would become the Luna of the silver-black pack. The thoughts sent shivers down my spine. I wasn’t ready for that kind of responsibility, that kind of power. I was still trying to wrap my head around being a wolfless wolf, let alone a Luna.I stood outside Jordyn’s office, my heart racing with anticipation. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, but there was no response.I wondered if he was always like that, not responding to knocks on the door.I summoned the courage and pushed open the door. Alpha Jordyn was sitting at his desk, his eyes fixed inte

*JOSH'S POV*She was frozen, her eyes wide and glistening under the lantern light.“I’m not asking for forever—at least not yet,” I said, a grin tugging at my lips. “But I am asking you to be mine. Will you be my girlfriend?”Mary blinked, her expression shifting from surprise to something softer, more tender. And then she laughed, shaking her head.“You really went all out for this, didn’t you?” she said, her voice thick with emotion.“Is that a yes?” I asked, still kneeling.She stepped closer, pulling me to my feet and into her arms. “Yes, you idiot. Of course, it’s a yes.”Relief and joy washed over me as I held her, the weight of anticipation lifting from my shoulders.“But,” she added, pulling back slightly, her lips curving into a smirk, “you didn’t have to go this big just to ask me to be your girlfriend.”I grinned. “I wanted to make sure you couldn’t say no.”“Like I ever could,” she whispered, leaning up to press her lips to mine.The kiss was soft, lingering, and full of p

I could still hear Mary’s voice in my head, teasing me about how I owed her a proper date. It played on repeat as I sat on the couch, flipping through ideas for something special. I wasn’t the type to go all out—fancy dates and grand gestures weren’t really my thing—but for Mary, I wanted this to feel different. She deserved different.The past few days in the clinic had been torture, not because of the pain, but because I couldn’t stop thinking about her. The memory of her hand in mine, the way her cheeks flushed when I’d asked her to be my girlfriend, was burned into my mind. She’d told me to wait, to get better first, but that didn’t stop me from imagining her answer.With a plan finally forming in my head, I grabbed my phone and sent her a quick text.Me: Don’t forget, Friday night. Dress fancy.Her reply came almost instantly:Mary: It better be worth it.I laughed under my breath, shaking my head. She always knew how to keep me on my toes.*** Friday rolled around faster than I

*MARY'S POV*I stood outside Josh’s room in the clinic, the door slightly ajar. It had been two days since the accident, and though his wounds were healing, I still couldn’t shake the image of him lying unconscious and bloodied. I’d barely slept since Brianne called me with the news. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him in that state.The sound of his voice pulled me from my thoughts.“Mary, you planning to just stand there, or are you coming in?”I pushed the door open, trying to mask the relief that flooded through me at seeing him awake and smirking. Typical Josh—always ready with a grin, even when he was banged up.“How long were you watching me?” I asked, stepping in and closing the door behind me.“Long enough to see you pacing like a worried mom,” he teased, his voice hoarse but warm.I rolled my eyes, pulling the chair closer to his bed. “You’re insufferable, you know that?”“And yet, here you are.”I couldn’t argue with that.*** *JOSH'S POV*Mary looked tired, like she ha
THE REJECTED OMEGA’S MATE : a tale of unexpected love Chapter 145
*MARY'S POV*Walking into the room, I felt my chest tighten at the sight of him. Josh was lying on the bed, his face pale, his breathing steady but shallow. Bandages covered his arms and chest, and there was a faint bruise along his jawline.I pulled up a chair beside his bed, my eyes welling up with tears. “You idiot,” I muttered, my voice shaking. “Why did you have to be so reckless?”He didn’t respond, of course. He was unconscious, his body working overtime to heal itself. I reached out, hesitating for a moment before taking his hand in mine.“You’re going to be fine,” I whispered, more to myself than to him. “You have to be. I’m not done yelling at you yet.”*** Hours passed, though it felt like days. Brianne came in to check on me a few times, offering food or water, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave Josh’s side.As the first rays of dawn filtered through the window, I felt a slight movement in his hand. My heart leaped, and I leaned forward.“Josh?” I whispered, my voice ba

*MARY'S POV*I groaned again, burying my face in the pillow. “Why am I like this? Why can’t I just enjoy it and move on?”It wasn’t like I hadn’t been with other guys before. But with Josh, it felt different. There was a connection, something deeper that I couldn’t quite put into words. And that scared me.“Do you think I’m falling for him, Mr. Fluffy?” I whispered. The teddy bear, of course, didn’t respond, but I could almost imagine him giving me a knowing look.I laughed softly, shaking my head. “No, no, no. This is just… it’s a phase. A momentary lapse in judgment. I’ll get over it. I mean, it’s Josh. He’s annoying and cocky and—”My phone buzzed on the nightstand, cutting off my train of thought. I reached over to grab it, my heart skipping a beat when I saw his name on the screen.Josh: Hope you’re not overthinking last night. I know I’m irresistible, but try to focus on other things.I rolled my eyes, though I couldn’t help the smile that tugged at my lips.Me: You wish. I’m pe

*JOSH'S POV*Mary stirred slightly, her lashes fluttering against her cheeks before her eyes opened. The sunlight caught her hair, making it shine in soft waves, and for a moment, I just stared. She blinked a few times, her gaze landing on me, and a sleepy smile curved her lips.“Morning,” she murmured, her voice husky from sleep.“Morning,” I replied, leaning against the headboard, my arms crossed casually. “You’re not a morning person, are you?”She stretched, groaning softly as she did. “Not in the slightest. You’re lucky you’re cute, or I’d complain about how bright it is in here.”I smirked. “Noted. Next time, I’ll keep the blinds closed.”Her head tilted, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Next time, huh?”“Well, that depends,” I said, my tone teasing. “Do I get a ‘next time,’ or was this a one-time deal?”Mary propped herself up on one elbow, her expression playfully stern. “Don’t fish for compliments this early, Josh. It’s too much effort.”I laughed, the sound filling the room

*JOSH'S POV*We walked back to the car in a comfortable silence, the sound of the waves fading behind us. Mary’s steps were light, her head tilted slightly as she took in the surroundings. I couldn’t help but watch her, admiring the way the wind played with her hair and how her eyes seemed to hold a certain spark.When we reached the car, she turned to me, crossing her arms with a mock-serious expression. “So, Mr. Beta-Hybrid, what’s next on this grand plan of yours?”I smirked, opening the passenger door for her. “You’ll have to wait and see.”She raised an eyebrow, sliding into the seat. “You’re enjoying this way too much, aren’t you?”“Absolutely,” I said with a grin before shutting the door and walking around to the driver’s side.As I started the engine, the warmth of the moment lingered. The drive back was quiet at first, the soft hum of the car filling the air. I could feel Mary glancing at me every now and then, her curiosity practically radiating.Finally, she broke the silen

*JOSH'S POV*“After I was born, there was a lot of fear about what it would mean to have a half-human wolf in the pack. The elders were worried about what people would say, how they’d react. Jordyn’s mother—well, she was the one who stepped in. She wanted to protect me from the inevitable gossip and judgment.”Mary’s eyes widened. “So, she just… hid it?”“Sort of,” I said, leaning forward to rest my elbows on my knees. “She went to a soothsayer. Someone with strong abilities. They found a way to mask the hybrid part of me. That’s why no one’s ever been able to tell I’m different. No one can smell it or sense it. As far as anyone in the pack is concerned, I’m just a regular beta.”“That’s… incredible,” Mary whispered, her voice filled with amazement. “But why? Why go to all that trouble?”I sighed, running a hand through my hair. “Because being a hybrid in the wolf world isn’t easy. Humans and wolves… they’re not supposed to mix. If people knew, there’d be questions, doubts about my lo

*JOSH'S POV*“Actually… there’s something else you should know,” I said, swinging my hands in a playful manner as we strolled across the beach. The breeze was gentle, the sun starting to dip lower, casting a golden glow across the waves. We walked in comfortable silence, but I could feel the weight of what I needed to share building inside me.Mary glanced at me, her curiosity piqued. “Oh? More secrets, huh? You’re full of surprises.”I chuckled, though this was heavier than the usual banter. “Yeah, and this one’s… kind of a big deal.”Her teasing smile faltered slightly, but she stayed lighthearted. “Don’t tell me you’re some sort of vampire-werewolf hybrid. ‘Cause that’s too much for me to handle today.”I laughed, though her joke hit closer to the truth than she knew. “Not quite that dramatic, but close.”We eventually found a shaded spot under a large tree near the shoreline. The wind rustled the leaves, offering a quiet retreat from the rest of the world. I sat down on the sand,
