All Chapters of Rejected Omega: The Rise of Jemima: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Adrian’s POVPiper was right. We had already unintentionally informed those who sought to kill my mate that she was missing. If I had sat down to think things through, I wouldn't have gone straight to Jemima’s childhood home to ask her father about her whereabouts. Now, Abigail knew about it and was going to tell the others. They were going to think Jemima was more vulnerable since she was no longer under my protection. I needed to find her as fast as I could and the only way was discovering the identity of the owner of the gold chain.“What do we do now?” Piper queried, her voice heavy with worry. “They are most likely looking for her now or spying on us so that we can lead them to her.”“That's if it wasn't one of them who has her,” Garrett said. Piper gave him an impatient look. “I thought we had all agreed that can't be the case. If it was an enemy who found her while she was alone in the forest, he would have killed her, not kidnapped her.”He rolled his eyes. “Who knows if t

Author’s POVNot long after his Beta had forced him to take something else other than coffee, Adrian decided to join the soldiers patrolling the forest. He didn't have to but he didn't feel comfortable just sitting and doing nothing while others were actively involved in the search for his mate’s whereabouts. Piper had called earlier to inform them that she had visited one other Pack that morning. The Alpha there wasn't the one they were looking for.Adrian was beginning to fear that perhaps, she wasn't even in the country. “I'm going to find you, Jemima, no matter where you are. Even if it's under a rock,” he whispered to himself. At first, he went to the East side of the forest and questioned the guards there whether they had seen anything out of the ordinary, or anyone acting strangely. They hadn’t.He left that area feeling somewhat disappointed and wondered if the Alpha was even going to return for his jewellery. What if he didn’t care so much about losing it?As he drew ne

Jemima’s POVWhile Aurora and I were still conversing and getting to know each other better, we heard a knock on the door. Aurora, who had been sitting in my bed, quickly jumped to her feet and went to sit on the chair which was on the other side of the room. Rolling my eyes, I called out, “You can come in.”The door opened and a distinguished-looking man strolled in. He was very attractive but it was his beautiful gray eyes that caught my attention the most. The said eyes danced in amusement at my appraisal and he also didn't bother to hide his assessment of me. “I don't think we’ve met before,” I said, rising to my feet. Before he could speak, Aurora rushed to my side and dipped into a curtsy. “We weren't expecting you today,” she said as she straightened. One thing I immediately noticed was that though she obviously respected the man in front of us, she didn't seem afraid of him like she was of the Alpha. “Zade decided to leave me in charge for a couple of hours and I thou

Jemima’s POVAfter Zade’s rather abrupt departure from the forest, his Beta, Damien, whom we had practically bullied into accompanying us, led us back to the palace. I didn't try to tell myself that the heat in the Alpha’s gaze while he looked at me as I had been stepping out of the river, was due to anger. No, it wasn't. “You would do well to ignore it,” my wolf said. “We have a mate, remember?”Mentally, I rolled my eyes. It wasn't like I was going to allow myself to fall madly in love with someone else just because he had looked at me with a fierce hunger and longing in his eyes. Unbidden, a mental image of how intense his eyes had been floated into my mind, causing me to shiver. I shook my head to ground myself. The way he looked at me didn't affect me. It shouldn't affect me. My handmaiden was too lost in her own mental turmoil to sense my restlessness but Damien on the other hand missed nothing. “Are you okay?” he queried. My lips curled into a forced smile. “Of course.

Author’s POV“Someone’s in a pretty bad mood,” Beta Damien of the Midnight Pack said as soon as he stepped into his Alpha’s study and noticed the rather angry look on his face.“Shut up and get your ass here,” Alpha Zade replied without taking his eyes off his computer.The Beta rolled his eyes as he approached the desk while muttering under his breath, “But I'm here already.”He pulled out the chair and plopped down on it. “I really do not want to add to your terrible mood but you have to present yourself at the meeting of the elders instead of making me represent you.”“Bad timing, Damien,” the Alpha growled. “Can we not talk about the elders at all today?”Silence reigned in the room for a few seconds as the Beta regarded his best friend intently with intelligent grey eyes that missed nothing. “Are you going to tell me what exactly is bothering you so that I can know how best to help you or did you ask me to come here just to stare at you?”Zade heaved a sigh as he took off his re
