THE REJECTED OMEGA’S MATE : a tale of unexpected love Chapter 50
*BRIANNE’S POV*I stood there with the other trainees, our eyes fixed on the intense fight in front of us. The fragile-looking girl was surprisingly skilled, her moves were swift and sleek as she battled the wolf in her human form. Despite her efforts, the wolf’s sudden counterattack caught her off guard, and she fell back with a loud thud, clutching her chest in pain.“Enough,” the training instructor yelled, intervening just in time to prevent further injury. The fighters were quickly separated, and the girl was rushed to the pack clinic for treatment.As I watched the scene unfold, my hand instinctively rose to touch my hair, a nervous gesture I’d been repeating all day. I had deliberately left my hair down, trying to conceal the mark on my neck, hoping no one would notice or make a comment on it. “Brianne, you’re next,” the Instructor’s voice cut through my reverie, signaling me to face my opponent.My heart sank as I gazed at the formidable figure waiting for me in the fighting

*BRIANNE’S POV*“Do you know the consequences of shielding a traitor?” Jordyn asked, his voice firm and authoritative. “Not only will my council take action against me, but your pack will also come after silver-black and I don’t want that,” The mysterious man let out a scoffing sound. “Let me get this straight,” He started. “So, you mean you won’t be helping me?” He paused, awaiting a response but only silence greeted him.After a few seconds, I heard his voice again, but this time it was darker and colder than before. Each word seemed to hang in the air like unspoken malice.“Fine,” He said, his voice dripping with venom. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you,”With that, I heard heavy footsteps storming towards the door, making my heart skip a beat. I frantically scanned the area for a hiding spot, my eyes darting around the empty hall. I quickly scrambled into a corner, holding my breath and hoping I wouldn’t be discovered. I didn’t want to get caught eavesdropping.The office doors burst

*BRIANNE’S POV*My jaw dropped. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Slowly, my hand rose to my mouth, every movement filled with shock.“no one aside from my family knows Josh is a hybrid,” Jordyn explained. “To avoid shame and unwanted attention on the family, my mother took Josh to a seer who completely masked the hybrid part of him.”“Whoever sees him thinks he’s a beta,” He added, looking down, as his eyes focused on his hands.“I watched him growing up Bri,” He continued, his voice tight with emotions. “I saw how my mother treated him. She’d beat him for things he didn’t even do.”Tears threatened to fill my eyes. Seeing Jordyn talk about Josh like this was heartbreaking.“Sometimes, he would run up to me and hide me.” He said, letting out a sad, bitter laugh. “I knew my mother was hurt by what my father did, but that doesn’t give her the right to take it out on the innocent boy, does it?” he said, turning to me as if he wanted me to answer.“I’m so fond of him, and I know

*JORDYN’S POV*“what do you think you’re doing, man?” Josh said the moment we stepped out of the room.“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about this.” I apologized, unsure where to even start.He scoffed. “so, you think I didn’t know all along?” He asked, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “I kept seeing those strange letters in your office, and you’ve been acting weird for weeks. The moment I decided to look into it was when I saw the threat letter,” Josh said, his eyes hard, though I could still see the emotions behind them.“Don’t you think is better I handle my own problems? Why do you have to get involved?” Josh asked, frustrated clear in his voice.I frowned at him. “nonsense! Josh. How could I let you deal with this alone? What’s the point of being brothers if we don’t help each other out?” I said, trying to keep my voice as calm as possible, despite the frustration.“This is not only about you, Josh. There’s something more going on here.” I said, focusing my gaze on him.Josh’s express

*JORDYN’S POV*A knock on my door snapped me out of my reverie. I straightened in my chair, my eyes narrowing slightly as Josh stepped into the office.“They are here,” He said, his voice low and controlled, but the tightness in his jaw didn’t escape my notice.I gave a curt nod, forcing myself to stay composed. “I’ll be there shortly,” I replied.Josh lingered for a second longer as if waiting for more, but when I offered nothing more, he left as silently as he came, the door clicking shut behind him.The silence that followed was oppressive. The kind that leaves too much space for unnecessary thoughts to creep in.What if there really is a traitor in our court, lurking but out of sight?The possibility gnawed at me as a dull ache settled in my gut.It was one thing to face enemies outside, but a hidden enemy inside our pack would be far worse.And what if the rival pack is planning something? They’ve always hated silver-black, blaming us for anything that goes wrong in their pack. T

*BRIANNE’S POV*I stared at the sheet of paper in front of me, the words blurring together as I struggled to focus on the exam. My mind felt like it was drifting, constantly pulled away by the weight of everything that had been going on for the past few days.Taking a deep breath, I lifted my head and glanced around the room. Everyone else had their heads down, their eyes glued to their booklets, and pens scratching furiously across the pages. The quiet shuffle of papers and the hum of concentration filled the room but it only made my own distraction feel more pronounced.This was it—my final exams in college. I should’ve been happy, and relieved to be at the edge of freedom, yet I was overwhelmed. The past few days had been a whirlwind of chaos, and the emotional toll was weighing heavy on me. My thoughts were scattered, and tangled up in worries and unresolved feelings. But none of that mattered now.I had no choice but to focus.Clenching the pen tighter in my hand, I forced myself

*BRIANNE’S POV*“Marcus?!” I whispered, the name slipping from my lips before I could stop it.He stood tall, his dark hair rumpled by the wind, his eyes locked on me with a familiar intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. My pulse quickened, and for a moment, it felt like the world around me stopped. Everything else….the noise of students, Mary’s chatter—all faded into the background.Mary followed my gaze, her face twisting in confusion. “Marcus?”Her tone was sharp, catching onto the tension immediately.My feet felt rooted to the ground, a thousand emotions crashing over me at once—anger, confusion, and even a flicker of something I didn’t want to admit. He wasn’t supposed to be here. He wasn’t supposed to be anywhere near me.Marcus’s lips curved into a half smile, but there was something unreadable in his expression, something that made my stomach tighten. Slowly, he started walking towards us.“Bri?” Mary’s voice cut through my haze. She tugged on my arm, her eyes darting b
THE REJECTED OMEGA’S MATE : a tale of unexpected love Chapter 57
*BRIANNE’S POV*I lay on my bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, my thoughts swirling like a storm I couldn’t control. Seeing Marcus again hit me harder than I ever imagined. It was as if the air had been sucked out of me when our eyes met. I had told myself I wouldn’t care if I saw him again, that I had moved on, but the knot in my stomach told me otherwise. My chest felt heavy, the weight of memories I thought I had buried now clawing their way to the surface.I hadn’t left my room all day, the soft glow of the afternoon sun peeking through the curtains now beginning to fade as evening settled in. Every time I Closed my eyes, a familiar scent…yet distant, haunted me. It was like he was both there and not there, lingering in my mind as if to remind me of what we once were, of everything we never became. I shook my head, trying to get rid of this image, but it clung to me stubbornly.I sat up, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed. The room felt suffocating. My breaths were shallo

*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,
