“What’s a pretty lady doing all by herself?” The question rolled off his tongue like candy melting off the stick, his deep voice added an extra layer to the flirtation.
“Hi,” I responded calmly.
“Josh…my name’s Josh,” He said, flashing an even broader smile.
I stared at him, mesmerized by how someone could look so cute and majestic at the same time. His looks were so inviting and charming that his flirting didn’t even feel like flirting.
“Uhm…this is the part where you tell me your name” He prompted, pulling me out of my thoughts.
“I’m Brianne” I replied, feeling a little bit caught off guard.
“Wow, a pretty name for a pretty lady,” He said in a low seductive chuckle.
He was about to say something more when a tall man barged into our little corner. His presence immediately commanded attention as his hazel-golden-like eyes locked on Josh and me.
“Josh, don’t just go around flirting. I need you with me, now” He commanded, his voice brooking no argument.
Alpha Jordyn…Everybody knows how ruthless and bloodthirsty he was. He had become Alpha of the silver-black pack at eighteen, and ever since then, no one dared to cross our pack.
Josh whose eyes never left mine, raised his brows and smiled. “See you next time?” He said before turning to follow the Alpha.
I stared at them without uttering a word. It felt like my tongue had been ripped out of my mouth.
Just as they were about to leave, Jordyn turned and looked directly into my eyes. His gaze was sharp as if it was about to cut me with its intensity. It was as though he was trying to intimidate me.
Quickly, I bowed my head slightly, avoiding eye contact. My heart raced in anxiety as I watched them walk away from me.
“Just look at her, she’s so pitiful”
“I heard she was rejected by her mate”
“That’s not even all, she doesn’t even have her wolf”
“How pathetic”
I heard whispers behind me, their mocking tone gave me the jitters. I was so pissed that I turned to them.
“Can’t y’all just mind your business?” I said in an enraged tone.
“Oh shut up you pathetic little wolf” One of the girls retorted rudely.
She quickly held her hand to her mouth as if she had said something wrong.
“Oops, I forgot, you don’t even have your wolf. Does that make you human?” They all laughed and walked away like a group of alligators.
“Shit, I want to crush them” I whispered and fought the air behind them as they walked off.
“I don’t have my wolf, and so?” I hissed. An overwhelming sense of sadness washed over me.
“Fuck this party” I looked around, trying to find an escape route without my dad noticing.
In the middle of planning my escape, my phone suddenly started buzzing, making me jump in surprise. The name and number of the incoming call were boldly displayed on the screen.
I answered the phone call, fully aware of what the caller was going to say.
“Hi baby girl” Her voice filled my ears. “I’ve got a surprise for you” She continued.
‘Alright, this is my cue to get out of this shitty party’
***
Why did I even agree to go out with Mary?
My best friend always likes clubbing and nightlife, dancing with boys and getting drunk, but I’m quite the opposite.
“Waiter, two glasses of whiskey please” Her voice echoed in a loud ring.
“Mary, where is the surprise you wanted to show me?” I asked her in a tone filled with dilemma, hoping Mary hadn’t tricked me, because that’s quite her forte.
“Chill baby, chill” She looked at me and responded seductively. “The party had just begun” She flashed a broad smile.
Unable to comprehend what she meant, I rolled my eyes, staring daggers at her. “So I left one party, only to attend another?” I asked her with almost teary eyes.
“Come on, is not that bad” She tried to assure me. “You have to go out more, let go of Marcus and get back on your feet, and my friend who is a receptionist here said a lot of rich guys booked their VIP lounge today” She winked at me shamelessly.
“I do not have to go out more and I have already let go of Marcus” I warned
“Okay, whatever, tell me about this party you attended” She poked my left shoulder, urging me to start a conversation I didn’t want to have.
“It was crap” I let out a frustrated sigh. “But I met a guy” I added, finishing my sentence with a subtle smile.
Mary gasped, holding my hand in surprise.
“What was he like?” She prompted.
“Cool,” I replied rather sharply. “His was cute and soft-spoken” A blush crept onto my face as I said that part.
“I actually don’t care about all that,” Mary debunked everything I just said, leaving me surprised.
“What I care about is…did you get his phone number?” She asked me with her eyes wide like two cherries.
“No,” I replied almost immediately.
“What?!!” Mary exclaimed. “You’re the worst Bri. So how are you gonna meet him again?” She asked, her tone filled with disappointment.
“Maybe I won’t” I answered her question, a little bit scared of what she might say next.
Mary let out a strangled sigh. “Okay forget that, let’s dance!” She screamed the last part as the music got louder.
Going out with Mary could be such a pain, she never lets me off the hook.
Forced to dance, I stepped on the dance floor and just danced the night away.
Well, the whiskey Mary forced me to drink must have been kicking in because I found myself asking for more, which is very unlike me.
I guess I really have to loosen up and step out more.
***
I woke up to a sharp pain piercing my lower abdomen. I crunched my stomach hoping to lessen the pain.
My head banged from all the alcohol, making it worse.
After fighting with the pain and uneasiness for a few minutes, I slowly lifted myself trying to take in my environment, which looked rather obscure to me, the stench of alcohol made me nauseous.
I looked around trying to remember what had happened the previous night when suddenly I heard a low groan beside me.
I shrieked, startled.
‘What in the world is going on?’
My pupils went wide as I watched the man who lay beside me.
Just as I was, he was also naked, but not fully naked like me. He had the other half of him covered with a blanket.
The sight before me was bizarre. What had happened? Where is Mary? Have I been raped? Why am I naked beside him? The familiar face…; what is going on?
This man! He…
Alpha Jordyn?!!
I covered my mouth, stifling a scream that was about to escape my lungs.

*BRIANNE’S POV*With wide eyes and a face plastered with confusion, I stared at the sleeping man next to me.Or I could be seeing things due to the influence of the alcohol.I silently got out of the bed. Searching for my phone and trying not to wake up the man on the bed was such a hard task.After finding my phone, I immediately dialed Mary’s number, hoping she’d have answers to my questions. How did I end up in a room with a man? and not just any man. Jordyn?What is going on?“What are you doing?”A deep voice resounded through the room, making me almost jump out of my wits. I shrieked and snapped my head towards him.There he sat, with his eyes dark as night. His hair was all over his face, making the scene before me look way too unholy.“I said what are you doing?” His voice echoed across the room for the second time. My lungs couldn’t find the energy to produce words. And worst of all, I was standing fully naked in front of a man I hardly knew.“Uhm…” I couldn’t bring myself to

*JORDYN'S POV*I stared into blank space with my legs crossed as if the weight of my thoughts anchored me to the spot.I kept my composure in front of her but deep down, I was a whirlwind of emotions.I had a lot to drink last night but I could recall what happened, although not clearly.The moment I laid my eyes on her at the noble’s party, a strange sensation cursed through my veins. It was something I had never felt before, something new. Underneath my composure, I felt my wolf tearing through my skin and trying to break free from my control as if desperate to claim this mysterious woman as its own.I had snuck out of the noble’s party because I felt suffocated in there. It was quite shocking that I also met her at the club. It wasn't love at first sight, Maybe I was just sexually attracted but there was something about her I couldn’t quite understand.It’s even more tragic that she couldn’t remember grabbing my wrist so tight and throwing me on that bed with a strength that belied

*BRIANNE’S POV*His threat sent cold chills down my throat.Is he literally forcing me to be his girlfriend?Well, what would I expect from an alpha of his reputation.Why would he even bother himself with me in the first place?“Where is your house?” His husky voice asked calmly.Another reason why I regret getting into this car. What would my father say when he sees me with him.“The second house on the ninth street” I answered, almost choking on my own saliva.Today would be the day my father would finally kill me. He’ll probably think I’m finally into some kind of hook up business after been rejected by my mate, because there’s no way in hell an Alpha of Jordyn’s caliber would have any sort of interest in me.The thought of me, an omega, catching the eye of someone like Jordyn was laughable. It is inconceivable that someone of Jordyn’s stature would be interested in me.The closer we drew to my house, the more scared I became. I silently prayed for a miracle to happen—any miracle,
THE REJECTED OMEGA’S MATE : a tale of unexpected love Chapter 6
*BRIANNE’S POV*I stood frozen in the darkness of my room, staring at my phone screen. The coldness in Jordyn’s voice kept me glued to the spot. I couldn’t shake off the feeling that he was watching me; even though I could not see him, my spine tingled.Out of fright, I hastily rushed to my window and slammed it shut. His words echoed in my head. ‘We’re not done yet.’What did he mean by that? I thought this whole charade was only going to last three weeks. Wasn’t that the deal? I was starting to doubt because Jordyn’s voice hinted at something more sinister, as if he was extending the agreed timeframe.“This is exhausting” I let out a deep sigh, my shoulders slumping in fatigue. I wondered if I had underestimated Jordyn’s intentions, why did I have to be caught up in an Alpha’s world? I had always tried to stay unnoticed, to blend into the background, and not draw unnecessary attention to myself. So where could I have gone wrong?His words ‘we’re not done yet’ sounded more like a pro

*BRIANNE’S POV*“Why do I have to train at the pack house?, can’t I train somewhere else?” I asked as my anxiousness skyrocketed.“So you’ve agreed to train?” My mother asked, her tone laced with surprise.I held myself from rolling my eyes. “Did I have a choice in the first place?” I retorted.“The pack house is the best and the safest,” she said, her mood seemed to have been elevated. “You could even get the chance to be trained by the Alpha’s mother. Then maybe you could transform into your wolf form” she continued, the last part came out in a whisper.“Not again” I groaned in annoyance. “ do we have to do this all the time?” I stomped.“You need your wolf Bri,” she persuaded.“No I don’t,” I said, the volume of my voice going higher as I took a step back. “Why can’t you see me for who I am instead of sending me off to some combat training? I can’t shift... Wolf wolf wolf, You all make me so sick. I don’t need my wolf,” I yelled.“Then you’re nothing more than a human,” my mother y

*BRIANNE’S POV*“That is bad news,” Mary said.I rolled my eyes at her. “That’s the whole point, of course, it’s bad news,” I said perplexed.Mary chuckled. “Your life is full of unexpected surprises, Bri. You have to admit, it’s never boring” Mary added, her voice laced with sarcasm.I groaned. “They are driving me nuts, Mary. Just because my brother now has his wolf, my father suddenly decided it would be better for me to train at the pack house?” I complainedMary tried to offer a reassuring smile. “Your father might just be trying to push you to your full potential” she tried to reason with me.“Full potential?” I repeated, my voice rising. “You know as well as I do that people training at the pack house all have their wolves already. They are not struggling like I am” I said, devastated.“This whole thing is weird” Mary’s voice became low. “Do you think he told your father to make you train at the pack house?” Mary’s question sounded more like she was talking to herself.“I doub

*BRIANNE’S POV*I stood at the entrance gate, my heart beating fast in my chest.My gaze locked onto the sign above, the logo of the silver-black pack. The metallic letters gleamed in the sunlight as my mind clouded with a sense of unease.I glanced back, my anxiety taking the better of me.The line was longer than I expected, I guess I wasn’t the only one training. The realization only added to my unease. I gripped my gate pass and training form firmly, trying to keep the papers from rustling too much.“Brianne Preston..”I almost jumped when I suddenly heard my name. Without hesitating or wasting any time, I rushed forward.The chubby lady scrutinized my forms, her eyes scanning through the pages with curiosity. Then she looked up at me, her gaze navigating my face and body with a discerning intensity. I felt a slight flutter in my chest as she seemed to take in every detail, her expression unreadable. Her eyes lingered on my face as if searching for something. I straightened my po

Their waiting eyes stared back at me, gleaming with anticipation.His thunderous voice boomed again. “You, pretty girl, Come up here”The lady turned to me with a faint but encouraging smile. “Go on, show us what you’ve got”My legs stayed rooted to the spot. ‘But I’ve got nothing to show’“I..sorry I think I’ll pass,” I said shakily.The lady chuckled. “You don’t get to pass.” She said. “Be an honorable wolf and go on” She encouraged.But how…how do I tell them I don’t have my wolf? How do I tell them I’m not strong enough? I tried to move my legs but they stayed stuck to the ground, refusing to budge. I knew that once I stepped into that ring, my fate was sealed.The crowd’s cheers grew louder, but their enthusiasm wasn’t for me— It was for my opponent. A tall, slender girl in her mid-20s. She snarled, glaring at me with a fierce intensity. Her eyes seemed to dare me to step forward.My legs fi

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

*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,

*JOSH’S POV*I reached the pack house and headed straight to Jordyn’s office. He was already behind his desk, looking over a set of documents when I walked in.“Morning,” I said, stepping inside and closing the door behind me.Jordyn glanced up, raising an eyebrow. “You seem in a good mood.”I shrugged, trying to play it off. “Just a good night, I guess.”He didn’t push for details, which was probably for the best. I wasn’t sure I was ready to explain why I couldn’t stop grinning like an idiot. Instead, he handed me a file, the lightness in the air quickly replaced by the seriousness of pack duties.“Here,” he said. “Take a look. We’ve had a few reports of rogue wolves in the north, near the river. We need to adjust the patrols in that area, make sure we’ve got enough coverage.”I nodded, flipping through the papers, but the focus I usually had for work was a little off today. No matter how hard I tried to concentrate, my thoughts kept drifting back to Mary.Jordyn must’ve noticed bec
