Chapter 1 - You are worthless

“Why can't I go?”
“You know why Aura, Omegas are not allowed into the pack house.”
I frowned not liking my mother's response to my question.
“But I promise to stay outside the pack house. I won't cross the gate. I've never been to a mating ceremony, Ma.” I pleaded, my hands clasped in front of me in desperation.
Mum shakes her head, “No, Aura.” She states with finality.
My blue eyes water as I plead even more. “Please Ma, I won't cross the gates I swear on the sacred grave of all fallen…”
“Enough! Stop being unreasonable!” Mum shouts in annoyance.
My shoulders fall in defeat as I cower behind the couch nearest to me. My heart pounds loudly within my chest while I cry silently.
I'm so sorry…I'm so sorry
The words echo inside my head like a broken record. Shivering from the effort it takes me to bite down my cries, I close my eyes, feeling like a failure. This is why they don't want me near the pack house. I'm so unreasonable, such a disgrace to werewolves.
I should never have been born.
“Aura?” My Dad's calm voice startles me out of my darkness. When did he arrive? I thought he'd left already. “Baby,” He says again and I cave, releasing a loud wail as I leap into his strong arms.
“I'm so sorry, Pa. I'm so sorry. I'm just scared to be alone. I didn't mean to be unreasonable.” My tears soak his shirt but Dad doesn't seem to mind at all as he pulls me harder against his shoulder.
“Baby, who called you unreasonable?” His calm voice quickly calms me down as usual and I pull away a bit to stare at my Mom who now wears a guilty look.
“She wants to come with us, Daniel.” She states in her defense.
Dad's sad eyes meet mine and I sniff. “Aura, we need you safe. And the only place you can be safe is here in our home. If by chance the Alpha discovers an Omega near the pack house, he might take it as an attempt to breach the law. Although I and your mother believe you are much more than submissive, the Jakpounders pack don't think the same.”
My voice is heavy with defeat when I speak. “I understand, Pa.”
He rubs my back gently before pulling away. My mom walks up to me and pulls me into a warm hug. Her curly blond hair, the only feature I share with her, tickles my neck. “Check the shelf. Some new pack healing books have been bought.” She says with a smile that I instantly mirror before running over to the shelf in the living room and browsing it in a flash. When I spot the books that will lead me one step closer to being the next pack doctor, I grin wider at my parents. “I love you so much, thank you.”
“Oh honey, we love you too.” Mum murmurs.
“More than you believe baby.” Dad adds. Soon after they walk out the door to the party while I ensure all windows and doors are closed. I pick up my books certain that with enough study, in a few years I'll get to be a pack doctor just like my mother.
I'm only halfway through the first book when the sound of rapid knocking thunders through the house. I spring to my feet, fear invading my thoughts.
A deep voice yells from without, “OPEN THE DOOR THIS INSTANT!”
The loud banging only increases with my silence. I take a few steps back, thinking of any escape route. They might be buglars. I cannot remain in the house.
I move to one of the windows but before I can pull it open, the loud, deep familiar howl of the pack warriors rings through the street. I pull away from the window. If it is indeed the pack warriors then I have no chance of escape.
“Open the door! I will not repeat myself. If you refuse to do as commanded within the next five seconds, you will be considered a threat to the Alpha of the pack.” Not long after the angry warrior has spoken a loud countdown begins. “FIVE…FOUR…”
I run.
Faster than ever before, I sprint to the door and jack it open. I am met with the sight of a giant pack warrior who towers over me with about four feet.
“Kneel!” He thunders and I collapse to my knees, unable to disobey a pack member with so much authority cursing through his veins– an authority far greater than that of an Omega. He is possibly a Beta.
“Step back, Gerald.” A deep, eerie voice speaks and I watch the feet of the man in front of me retreat. I whimper the moment I am hit with the crippling alpha aura that suddenly envelopes me.
“The goddess be damned!” The Alpha suddenly roars and I shiver. He moves closer and a shiver rushes down my spine when I catch his scent.
My teary eyes flicker upwards as my heart beats a different rhythm immediately. Hope dances within my heart as my lips form the word echoing in my head.
“M…ma…mate.” I have barely gasped the words when I am pulled to my feet by a firm grip on my neck. The Alpha's green eyes darken as he raises his fist and strikes me across the face. Blood splutters from my mouth and I crumble to the ground.
“Please!” My mother's voice breaks through the crowd.
In that moment I spot her and my father on their knees with two warriors behind them, their claws drawn out, waiting for an order.
My eyes widen in horror and for a minute it's impossible to breathe. “No,” I can barely hear my plea as I make an attempt to crawl to them but I'm kicked back into the dirt by my…mate.
I cough and cry out in pain. “How dare you!” The Alpha roars. “How dare you address me as your mate?!” He kicks me again and I painfully watch as my father fights against the chain holding his hands and feet bound.
“Those bastards had your scent on their clothes. I had matched here believing they were hiding a worthy mate but now I know I should never have sort you out. You weakling. Shameless slut!” He yells before spitting in my face.
My heart shatters to a million pieces at the open disgrace and tears rush down my face.
“I Alpha Atlas of Jakpounders Pack, reject you shameless omega. You are worthless and a liability to my pack!”

The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 2- Run, Aura
Chapter 2When I was five, I asked my parents what it meant to be an Omega. My father had smiled at me and pulled out a dusty book from his study. He explained to me the qualities of an Omega. All omegas were blessed with fruitfulness and wisdom. Most had fast feet and sharp hearing. They were best suited for Alpha's and most got mated to alphas. Omegas were rare creations but in the second Clan Clash, almost all were killed. My parents successfully made me feel special, a worthy pack member. Then I went to highschool and the bullying started. I'd get my head smashed into lockers and my body kicked like the trash they called me. It was then I knew how worthless I truly was and so I had come out top in all my classes just to earn a little respect but even that didn't work.I've felt useless several times. I've felt unwanted almost all the time but never in my life have I felt so rejected, so worthless.My heart trembles within my chest. I can feel the fragile bond I share with Alpha

Chapter 3It's cold, my chest is cold. I inhale and moan in pain when the act causes my chest to twist with every pressured breath I take in. My eyes feel like lead as I try to see through the darkness. Another whimper escapes my lips when I feel a slight pinch on my stomach. A steady voice speaks, “She's responsive, Alpha.” He says. My nose twitches as I try to discover where exactly I am. The smell of antiseptic is sharp in the air. I perceive wood and fur, the general scent accredited to werewolves but what I realize is missing is the familiar smell of home, my pack, my family. My body reacts immediately, my hind limbs kicking frantically as my mind switches into flight mode. “The patient seems to be having a seizure, doctor.” An authoritative female voice alerts and I'm immediately surrounded by hands, multiple strong holds pull down my wolf and I growl in pain, fighting even harder. “Do something to stop this, Banks!” The same female voice orders. “Yes, Alpha. The drugs sh

Chapter 4“You are required to eat everything on the tray before ten am. By then the Alpha of Darkwoods will be with you.” The male doctor from earlier states. It has been a week since my last attempt at suicide. A week since I'd last seen Ace, the man who restored my life. His brown eyes were imprinted into my memory after that day. I had mistaken him for the Alpha but he isn't. This is something I learned yesterday when the Alpha of Darkwoods– the pack that had collected me from the claws of Alpha Mich– paid me a visit. When I'm done eating, just as promised, Alpha Elena saunters into the room. Her brunette hair sways gently over her shoulder, her beautiful green eyes take note of my surroundings before finally landing on me. Then her lips pull up in a smile as she speaks, “I see they are taking good care of you, Aura.” “Y..yes Alpha.” I say, my heart unsteady. Although she has been nothing but friendly and sweet, I can't help but fear she'll soon show her true colors once she

“Gently, Miss Aura. Alpha Elena would like you in one piece and I definitely don't want to be on her bad side.” I nod my head, causing my wavy brown hair to fall over my eyes as I lean all my weight– which I am guessing is not much after all– against the pack maid. She supports my arms above her shoulder as she once again adjusts the crunches under my armpit. I wasn't this bad but after last night, my muscles keep protesting and refusing to corporate with me. I don't remember how I got back to my room but I do remember his every touch. I clearly remember the fullness of him inside me. I bite down on my lips to stop the lewd images in my head.Hanna, as I've come to know her, looks at me and smiles encouragingly. “There, there, you're doing just fine.” She says before pulling the door, which we've been standing before since the last ten minutes, open. I bite my tongue against the cold that immediately assaults my body but one glance at how unaffected Hanna is by the cold and I strai

Xzen's POVIf there's anything that differentiates me from my younger brother, it will be my tentativeness but I've failed to live up to my expectations for myself. How did I fall so low? I lift the jug and drink the water I've been staring at for the past ten minutes. No matter how hard I try, I still can't figure out what exactly made it impossible for me to resist the Omega's sweet seduction. I'd found it hard to tear my gaze away from her eyes, the depth of them as vast as an ocean, captivating yet terrifying. I'd felt almost drowned in her sweet scents. Goddess, even without knowing a thing about who she was then, I had still jumped her like a hungry beast. I close my eyes, reminiscing her sounds, those moans of pleasure. The way she writhed within that soft nest of hers as I pounded her tight heat. Her silent tears while her eyes rolled back in ecstasy, her fingers clutching tightly my biceps. The only audible word I heard through my blinded pleasure was her plea for more. I
Last Updated : 2024-07-26The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 7- Learn your place, Aura
It's been several days since my arrival at Blackvine and although I'm trying to keep my hackles up, it's so hard not to let my guard down amidst such loving people. I smile as I step into the cold night, my bare feet absorbing the chill from the carpet grass leading to the backyard of the pack mansion. I've only been outside twice since my stay here and I'm only outside now because Hanna is fulfilling her promise to me. I don't want to do wrong in the eyes of the same pack that rescued me from the claws of my previous mate. So I promised Hanna to put my all into my physiotherapy and now that I can walk with only a little limp, she owes me a bath in the famous hot pool. “You will love it, trust me. I would have chosen to be a healer but I lack enough concentration. The last time I mixed a herb for a rabbit, it died within five minutes. Apparently, I'd mistakenly mixed in a poisonous mushroom.” Hanna chats excitedly. She swings her arms around animatedly as she continues to share her

Chapter 8I stand frozen as my surroundings echo the shout of the woman in pain. My heart trembles at the memory of that night. The night I lost my family. The night I lost all that mattered to me. I can still hear my mother's scream of agony. I can see the blood-soaked body of my dead father, his lifeless eyes gazing in terror at me. The worthless daughter of his. The one who brought them nothing but pain and heartache ever since her birth. “Aura?” This pathetic excuse of a werewolf, this useless, rejected omega.“Aura! You need to breathe!” Hanna's frantic plea reaches my ears and for a moment I cease to hear the angry howls of my past pack mates.I gasp with an intake of breath, feeling my chest tighten with the effort it takes to get air into my lungs. My eyes water as I choke on air. Through my teary eyes, I can see Hanna's lips moving like she's trying to tell me something.“W…what?” The strain it takes me to mutter that one word causes me to push my heavy head against the wa

Chapter 9Xzen's POVThe sound of cheerful children fills the pack house and I stride out in quick step outside the house. I can't concentrate with all this noise. Why mom keeps letting these little pups into the house baffles me. That it's children's day doesn't mean all children in Blackvine should be granted access into our house. A low groan leaves my throat when I encounter more pups outside. Some are even in their wolf form and baring their teeth playfully at their friends. It kinda reminds me of I and Ace when we were much younger. We would play around like this, chasing each other in the woods and talking about any and everything but all that stopped three years back when we lost our Dad. He doesn't talk about it and I don't either. What I told Ace the day of our father's burial was all I planned to tell him and I don't regret it one bit. He deserved to hear every word. It was his fault, no matter how mother tried to convince the whole pack it was an accident. Ace has always

Aura's POVAt first we don't notice the sky darkening, too lost in the heated kiss to realize. But then raindrops begin to fall, gently at first, then it intensifies into a relentless downpour. “Hmm,” I moan against Alpha Xzen's lips a second before he pulls me up to wrap my legs around his waist. My fingers tangle in Alpha Xzen's hair while his hands roam my curves like a starved man. But our bliss is short-lived. A squeak leaves my lips when the rain suddenly becomes a torrent, forcing us to seek refuge. Alpha Xzen grasps my hand, “follow me!” He shouts under the rain, pulling me along with him. Laughter escapes my chest as we run like two pups in the rain. Xzen glances back at me, his eyes warm. I run after him, feeling my heart lighten as I'm led back to my shelter. Our footsteps splashing in puddles.Michel and Henry must be in their outside rooms on both sides of the small house, as they are nowhere to be found when we burst through the shelter's entrance.The door barely ge
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 54- I'll be gentle.
As I walk up to meet Alpha Xzen, my heart pounds heavily in my chest. He stands a few feet away, two guards standing beside him but not too close. His eyes are fixed on me as I step closer, expecting him to say something– anything that'll give me some indication of why he's waiting for me. But instead, Alpha Xzen's eyes shine as he simply gently tugs me away from the rising murmur of the small groups of individuals standing and sitting in the green field. A kind shiver graces my spine at the warm contact. I inhale, noting how good he smells. Alpha Xzen's thumb rubs softly the back of my tensed hand and I instantly relax, feeling a calm heat course through my hand to my heart. I stumble slightly, caught off guard by his sudden quick movement, like he's scared I'll refuse to follow him. "W...where are you taking me?" I ask, trying to hide the uncertainty in my voice. No, it's not that I'm scared of Alpha Xzen, but because I'm not sure what to expect from him. He doesn't respond resp

Aura's POVThe grass is wet today. Wet drops quickly slip into my sandals as myself and Bay stroll down to class. Today's our exam. It's our final practical class, one that I and Bay have been studying hard for. Like every other day, Bay came to wait at my door so we can stroll to class together but I don't believe that's the only reason. Considering how interested in Henry she was when I got out, I'd say he's the main reason she keeps showing up. As we stroll, I silently listen to Bay rant on about how Michel is always ruining her fun with Henry and how unfair it is. “I mean, I'm no longer with that cheating count so why can't I mate with a mateless beauty?!” Bay unsurprisingly yells.Yes, she's is... a lot. She's loud, blunt, and very dramatic, but somehow it all just works. Most days she's like a breath of fresh air to my worrisome mind, stirring things up and keeping me in the present.I realize, as we walk, that I've never known anyone like Bay.

The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 52- And if Ace were my mate…
It's been days since I last saw Alpha Xzen, and weeks since I moved out of the pack house. Through out this time a lot of things have been inconsistent. Although I hate to say it, I'm better off within the pack house where every thing is set in motion for me. Here at the shelter I can hardly coordinate myself. It's only now that I've tried living on my own, without the help of the pack that I realize just how much was being done for me back there. I never had to make my own meals, never had to wash the dishes, never had to worry for anything materialistic, Alpha Elena ensured I had it all even before I asked. It saddens me to remember I never once really thanked her before moving out. I'd been too blinded by hurt. Also I have noticed how most pack members tend to stare when I pass by. At first I'd quicken my pace and hurry off but ever since Bay made it her duty to walk me home, I've realized they all are simply curious about me. Most times whenever Bay waves at them they run up

Xzen's POVOne look at Aura and I'm suddenly transported back to that evening…when I saw her with Ace. My frustration rises as I remember how close they both were to each other. I felt a pang of jealousy then, and I feel it now.I've tried so hard to get her to open up to me but she chooses to share space with Ace. Someone who's barely in the pack these days. How could she spend time with him so easily, when every time I take a step towards her, she takes a hundred back? It doesn't make sense. Hell, I thought I knew her, thought I understood her fears and her boundaries. But now, I'm not so sure.Aura's expression is confused, her brow furrowed in concern. She takes a cautious step back, her eyes darting towards the door like she's reminding herself of the available escape. Her stance is frightened, her weight shifting on to a leg as if she's ready to flee at any moment.I also notice how her tiny hands are clenched into fists, her knuckles white with tension. She's trembling, ever

Xzen's POV"And where is he?!’’ I glare deadly at the guard, my demand shaking the room. The man, a tall, confident figure with chiseled features and a strong jaw line, bows submissively, but answers calmly, ‘'I do not know, Alpha.’'I take a step closer, my anger escalating. ‘'When last did he report to duty?!'’ I question, my chest heaving. I'm hit with a pang of irritation when I notice Collins sitting at a corner of the room, frowning.'’Relax, Alpha,'’ Collins says as he tries to intervene. '’It's just a training session. I'm sure someone else can stand in for Ace.'’I whirl around, directing my fury at him. '’You've been gone for a while, you have no idea just how lackadaisical he's been,'’ I snarl, my eyes flashing with anger.The guard seems to sense ann opportunity and speaks up, '’Alpha Xzen, I could fetch Ace if you desire.' He lifts his head a bit, his confident demeanor permanent. Just as trained.I frown, my eyes darkening. ‘'From this day forward, he ceases to be the Pa
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 49- A scent I should have ignored
Ace's POVI'm aware that whatever I'm about to say will possibly make no sense to Aura at this moment. My words might hold no value to her but I must at least try. I've tried getting her alone, in a quiet setting where my thoughts would be more organized but if I keep waiting for that time, I may never find it. That bright and radiant eyes or the petite omega now look dull. The sight causes an unpleasant feeling in my chest, and although I'd like to wipe it off with a joke, I know now's not the time. We are sitting on a bench in the open filled outside her healing class. I notice some trainees checking us out but I pay them no mind.As I prepare myself to speak, I notice how Aura's shoulders are slumped, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, as if trying to hold together the shattered pieces of her heart. I should have been there for her. I would have been there for her. I still wish to be there for her, if she'd let me.. I take a deep breath, my own heart racing with a mix of
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 48- Panic claws at my heart
My heart drums in rhythm with my feet pounding against the damp earth, mud coats my bare feet, slipping through my toes just like my breath coming in ragged gasps as the wolves close in around me. Panic claws at my heart when I spare a glance behind me. Their eyes glow like lanterns in the dark, the zeal to kill burning like wild fire in their orbs. I move faster, my soul freezing, blood curdling as my mother's scream pierces the air. I don't see him at first but as I get closer, the trees around me blur and I see my father standing in the direction I'm heading. Blood pours down his eyes and the open slit in his throat. My steps falter as hot tears break free. “P…Pa!” I scream. He gazes at me with accusing eyes. His voice is barely above a whisper, "You caused this." Those words sear into my mind like a branding iron, the guilt and horror boldly threatening to consume me.“NO! NO!” I scream in fright when sharp claws dig into my skin, scraping against my bone. Alpha Mich pays me
The Alpha's Reject: Finding True Love Chapter 47- I need to see her
With a drop in my aching shoulders, I step out of the warm pack house, and the silence itself is deafening. No one speaks, not even a whisper. Everyone's eyes follow me, their faces etched with sadness and…guilt. Some gaze down, unable to meet my eyes, while others watch with muted emotions that mirror my own.I feel like I'm walking through a sea of regret, their unspoken words hanging in the air like a challenge. But what's there to be sad about? I'd been the one to make the wrong decision of running away. I'd caused the death of my unborn pup. I'd caused it all and now that I think of it I feel I've mistaken their pitiful stares for guilt. But they have every reason to pity the weak omega. The fool who lost her pup when she tried to find a better route in life. Two guards approach me, their expressions calm. They both offer to help me move my belongings. I nod at them, grateful for their assistance, as I'm still a bit tired. It's been over a week but my body is still recovering.
