All Chapters of Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima: Chapter 51 - Chapter 58

Jemima’s POV“You came all the way here to find a witch?” I asked a rather grumpy-looking Adrian who wasn't pleased that I had insisted on Piper tagging along with us.He had thought that it was going to be just the both of us but I wasn't ready to spend hours all alone with him.I found my emotions flitting between sympathy for him, then jealousy and a little bit of anger directed towards him if I was being honest. It hadn't helped that he had said her name in his sleep the previous night. Deciding to allow Piper to tag along with us was to prevent me from spilling my thoughts out to him. I didn't want to come off as being selfish and insensitive. “I would go to the ends of the Earth for you if it means that your life will be preserved,” he answered in a bored tone.Piper clapped her hands in delight. “That's so sweet.”Adrian threw her a not-so-discrete withering look and her excitement instantly disappeared. I threw him a warning look and moved closer to her. “Just ignore him,

Adrian’s POVMy body flared with desire at her suggestive words. I was tempted to take her up on her offer but knew that she was only trying to distract me.Something was certainly up with her. I could see it in her eyes.“Don’t try to distract me, Jem. No matter how much I want to be sexually intimate with you all the time, I won’t be controlled by that. Not especially when something is bothering you.”She smirked. “Never would I have thought that you would ever pass up an opportunity to be intimate with me. I would have to record this date in my diary.”“Whatever,” I murmured. “You will find loads of snacks in the pantry. There is even a tub of ice cream in the refrigerator if you like chocolate flavour.”Her eyes lit up a little at that and I made a mental note to stock up more on chocolate ice cream.“You are the perfect host,” she said, rising from the sofa. I mentally rolled my eyes. “Host? It seems too formal. We are mates.”“You are the perfect mate,” she replied with a grin

Jemima’s POVI hadn't wanted to fall asleep but eventually, I had dozed off listening to the steady beating of Adrian’s heart. Thankfully, he was fast asleep when I woke up and it was still very early, about four in the morning. It was my opportunity to do what I had planned. As gently as I could, I got out of bed and searched his drawer for a pen and a piece of paper to write a goodbye note. Mentally applauding myself for not giving in to the temptation to give him one last kiss, I tiptoed out of the bedroom. My wolf howled in sadness but I didn't have any other choice. No one else was going to get hurt because of me.Sneaking past the soldiers who were patrolling the territory was the easiest past. I had been working on mastering the art of stealth since I was a child.Before disappearing forever from the Pack, I decided to pay a visit to the Circle of Stones in the forest. There must be something there for me. Something to help me overcome the hardships that were sure to come.

Adrian’s POVThose first few seconds had to be the most heart-wrenching moment of my life. I had sensed the previous night that she was up to no good and I felt pretty stupid for not being more alert. Why the hell had I fallen asleep?My eyes ran through the words on her goodbye, searching for any clue as to where she might be headed. And what did she even mean by she had to leave to protect me and the rest of the Pack? Who told her she had any right to just do that?If I found her, I was going to kill her myself. After hurriedly putting on my clothes and boots, I dashed out of the apartment and headed straight for the forest. It was nearly four-thirty in the morning, she couldn’t have gone that far. My suspicion was confirmed by her scent that permeated the forest strongly. She had been there and hopefully, she might still not have gone out of the forest. I remembered her saying something about the circle of stones the previous night and decided to check there first. Disappo
