THE REJECTED OMEGA’S MATE : a tale of unexpected love Chapter 30
*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

*BRIANNE’S POV*“Ah,” a voice exclaimed. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to interrupt!”I shot my head back to see a flustered-looking Janette standing in the doorway, her hand covering her mouth in surprise.Jordyn’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze flicking to Janette before returning to me.“How many times have I told you to knock before entering?” He questioned, his eyes cold.Janette’s eyes darted back and forth between us, her face flushed with embarrassment. “I…I was just looking for Josh. I didn’t mean to interrupt anything.” She said.Jordyn’s hands dropped from my face and he stepped back, his expression neutral. “It’s fine. We were just…talking.”I turned to her. “Don’t worry Janette, I was just about to leave,” I said.Her eyes lingered on us for a moment before she nodded. “Why don’t we leave together?” She said before she backed out of the room, closing the door behind her.Jordyn turned to me, feeling disappointed by the interruption. I nodded slightly at him before turnin

*JORDYN’S POV*I sat in my office chair, feeling dazed and bewildered. My mind was spinning from the revelation that I finally found my mate. It was a feeling that I never thought I’d experience, and yet, here I was, enjoying the warmth of this newfound connection.My mind drifted back to the day at my hideout, the first day she kissed me. I remembered it like it was yesterday. She had been trying to calm me down, but I hadn’t expected her to use a kiss to do so. But it worked like a charm. I felt my tension melt away.But now, as I reflected on that moment, I wondered if she had already suspected that she was my mate.She’s smart, intuitive, and perspective, so it was definitely so.Maybe she had picked up on the little cues, the unspoken signal that only a mate can sense.The sudden push in the door pulled me out of my thoughts.Josh walked into my office with a look of concern etched on his face. But as he approached my desk, his expression suddenly transformed, and a soft, goofy g

*BRIANNE’S POV*We all stood in lines, waiting for the announcement to be made.The training instructor had said there was going to be an announcement, but we’d been waiting for almost an hour and nobody was making the announcement. The sun was beating down on us, making the wait even more unbearable. I could feel the sweat trickling down my back, and my legs were starting to ache from standing for too long.To make matters worse, the instructor was pacing back and forth, muttering to himself, and glancing at her watch every few seconds. It was like she was waiting for something or someone, and it was making me nervous.I looked around at the others, trying to gauge their reactions. Some were chatting quietly, while others were checking their phones or gazing off into space. But we all shared one thing in common: we were all getting restless.“Come on, already!” Someone muttered behind me. “What’s taking so long?”“I know right?” Someone else replied. “I’ve got better things to do tha

*BRIANNE’S POV*Jordyn’s eyes seemed to gleam with a fierce light as if he could see the potential for chaos and excitement that the new rule would unleash.“This means you’ll have to be strategic, clever, and ruthless,” He continued. “You’ll need to use every trick in the book to outmaneuver your opponents.”The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their faces illuminating with excitement.‘This is going to be interesting’“That would be all,” Jordyn said, his voice firm and authoritative, before turning to leave. The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their faces gleaming with the sheer excitement that came with the announcement.As Jordyn walked away, I noticed him speaking with the instructor, with a serious expression on his face.The instructor nodded, her eyes sparkling with understanding, before Jordyn finally turned and left the arena with the other two guys.“Alright, everyone, listen up,” The instructor commanded. The crowd quieted down and all attention was on her.

*BRIANNE’S POV*I looked at my mother, trying to decipher her expression. Her eyes seemed to hold a hint of curiosity, but also a warmth that made me feel like she was trying to protect me. I was about to ask her what was really going on when Mary walked in, her bright smile and bubbly energy immediately filling the room.“Hi, girl!” Mary exclaimed, her eyes locking onto mine with excitement. “I’ve missed you so much!”My mother turned to her with a smile, her expression softening. “Hi, Mary. It’s been a while since you came over.”Mary bounced over to my mother, giving her a warm hug. “I know, Mrs. Preston. I’ve been so busy with school and stuff. But I promised Brianne I’d come over so we can both get ready for the full moon ceremony together.” Mary’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she pulled back from the hug.My mother’s eyes crinkled at the corners as she smiled. “Well, I’m glad you could make it. We’ve got dinner almost ready.” She said.Mary’s eyes lit up. “Ooh great! I’m sta
THE REJECTED OMEGA’S MATE : a tale of unexpected love Chapter 36
*BRIANNE’S POV*My gaze dropped to Mary, who was watching me with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. She blinked a few times, her eyes darting back and forth as if looking for something to say, but she remained silent.I turned and walked away, my feet heavy on the stairs as I stormed upstairs. I could feel their eyes on me, boring into my back like daggers. But I didn’t look back. I didn’t care what they thought. I was done.I reached my room and slammed the door behind me, the sound echoing through the hallway like a Declaration of Independence.I jumped on my bed, my mind drifting to Jordyn. He says he likes me and I really like him too. How much harm can he cause me? I thought to myself, my mind wandering to all the possibilities.Just as I was getting lost in my thoughts, I heard a knock on the door, disrupting my reverie. I knew it was Mary.She pushed the door and walked into the room.“Bri,” She called out as she walked towards my bed, her voice gentle.“I don’t wanna hear

*BRIANNE’S POV*I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. Suddenly, I was met with Mary’s face inches away from mine, her bright blue eyes sparkling with excitement. I gasped, startled, and my heart skipped a beat.“Shit, Mary! What are you doing?” I exclaimed, my voice husky from sleep.Mary giggled sheepishly, her face flushing pink. “Aren’t you going to get up, sleepyhead? Don’t forget we have an event to prepare for.” She said, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm.I sighed and rolled my eyes, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. “I know today is the full moon ceremony, but you don’t have to wake me up like that. Did you even get any sleep?” I asked her, my voice tinged with amusement.Mary nodded vigorously, her ponytail bouncing with the motion. “Yeah, I got a few hours. But I’m so excited for today! It’s going to be amazing,” She said, her eyes wide with anticipation.I chuckled and sat up, stretching my arms above my head. “You’re always energetic in the mornings.

THE REJECTED OMEGA’S MATE : a tale of unexpected love Chapter 151
*MARY'S POV*It had been one of those days—the kind where you’re running around so much, you forget to breathe. Between errands, Brianne’s endless chatter about wedding plans, and my job commitments, I was exhausted.By the time I got home, I flopped onto my bed, glaring at my phone as it buzzed.Josh: “What’s the probability of you burning dinner again tonight? Asking for science.”I snorted, my fatigue momentarily forgotten.Me: “Zero. I ordered takeout. Bet you didn’t see that coming, Mr. Assistant.”Josh: “Well, well, look at you. A true culinary mastermind. What’d you get?”Me: “Sushi. But not sharing, so don’t even ask.”Josh: “You’re cruel.”Me: “But I’m cute, so it balances out.”Josh: “Debatable.”I rolled my eyes, tossing my phone onto the pillow beside me. Even when we weren’t together, he had this way of sneaking into my day and making it better.***Later that evening, as I lounged on the couch with my sushi, my phone buzzed again.Josh: “Let me guess. You’re in your PJs,

*MARY'S POV*Josh was fine. Of course, he was fine. I should’ve known better than to take his text seriously.“You’re really milking this, aren’t you?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.“Maybe,” he said, that signature smirk tugging at his lips.I huffed and crossed my arms. “I should’ve just ignored you.”“But you didn’t.”That smug grin of his—it was equal parts infuriating and charming.Later that day,Josh insisted on taking me out. "It’s not a big deal,” he said, his smile disarming. “Just trust me.”When I showed up that evening, I half-expected another casual hangout. But he surprised me. Instead of his usual playful demeanor, there was something different about him—something deliberate.“Ready?” he asked, offering his arm.“For what exactly?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.“You’ll see,” he said, leading me outside.The walk to the secluded spot took a while, but when we arrived, I was speechless.Josh had set up a cozy little space right on the beach, with lanterns lighting the

*JOSH'S POV*The next morning, I woke up early, my mind already buzzing with ideas. I couldn’t let this be a one-off thing. If Mary thought last night was romantic, I’d have to step up my game. She deserved more than just dinner under lanterns.But first, there was pack business to deal with.I sighed, pulling myself out of bed and heading for the shower. By the time I was dressed and on my way to the pack house, the warm glow of last night had been replaced with the usual weight of responsibility.When I arrived at Jordyn’s office, I found him already buried in paperwork. He barely looked up as I walked in.“Morning,” I said, dropping into the chair across from him.“Morning,” he replied, not missing a beat as he flipped through a file.For a while, we worked in comfortable silence, the only sounds the scratching of pens and the rustle of papers.But, of course, Jordyn being Jordyn, he couldn’t let me off that easily.“So,” he said, leaning back in his chair and giving me a pointed l

*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
THE REJECTED OMEGA’S MATE : a tale of unexpected love Chapter 146
*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
THE REJECTED OMEGA’S MATE : a tale of unexpected love Chapter 144
*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
