• Rejected and Desired   Chapter 25: Renee

  I’m not sure what I expected. Maybe a little more trepidation or a nervous breakdown or at least the decency of a full-scale panic attack. What I did not anticipate was for my wolf to hijack my hands, my limbs, my entire corporeal self and start packing up my apartment with a ruthless efficiency that would have made Marie Kondo weep. She—my wolf, Jasmine—had decided, apparently, that we were moving out.It started with the kitchen. I watched, equal parts horrified and incredulous, as I gathered up my pots and Tupperware and half-empty bottles of spices into boxes scavenged from behind the corner bodega months ago. I could only observe, a passenger in my own body, as she tackled the blender, the hand mixer, the never-used bread maker with the methodical precision of a serial killer. Each item was wrapped in dishtowels and socks, then wedged into boxes, labeled in my chicken-scratch handwritingJace moves through my tiny kitchen like a force of nature at half-speed.

  The mix of emotions that go past her face was expected. I really didn't want to drop this bomb on her right when I got here. But she brought it up and I couldn't ask for a better opening to bring it up. Something I was truly dreading trying to find a way to bring it up. So, she did that for me."Why?" Her tone is neutral, her face is too."A few reasons, really." I admit. "One because it's the safest place for you to be." She starts to interject, but I raise my hand and shake my head. "No, let me explain."She closes her mouth and sits down, her arms crossing, and her lips pressed tightly together."So, there are a lot of things that I want to explain to you. But to be fair you just admitted my point yourself." I gesture towards the bed where she put the stuff from her nest. "You can't leave your nest set up because you are worried about someone seeing it and figuring out that you are an omega." I don't say that I feel like that isn't exactly right something tells we there is more to

  To say I was upset to wake up alone would be an understatement. I was kind of devested. But it only reinforced in my mind, that all men are trash. Sneaking out before dawn was low. I feel that it's even worse since we didn't even have sex. With a newly renewed anger. I stand from my nest on the couch, ready to keep my anger and directed at the world. At least my omega side was happily taking a back seat and letting the alpha take the driver seat. Well, it was until something falls to the floor in front of me. A piece of black fabric, well piece in not the right term. Its large enough to me a throw blanket. I pick it up and immediately know its Jace's and his scent of sandalwood and vanilla. I can't help but bring it to my nose and inhale like it's better than the oxygen I need to live, in someways it is. And in others it is a downfall. Because he may have left but it for me so I could sleep well. And I did. It was the best sleep I have ever had. No nightmares and looking at my nest

  I know I shouldn't be sitting in her nest, but she didn't object when I stay. No instead she fell asleep. As the sun dips in the sky and the world falls dark. I know I need to leave. I want to make her dinner, but I am not going to wake her. Today was a lot for her. It was a lot for me. My mate is an omega. Yeah, I need to leave. I don't know how she would feel if I stayed, and I need to process that information. Omegas are so a rare these days. She will need extra protection. I don't know if Alexs knows that she is one. But he could have caught the scent she was hiding so well the other night when she catered my even. But here today it was strong, I mean why wouldn't it be she had no reason to hide it here in her home.I look down at my mate, careful to not disturb the slumbering form of my mate. Her breath rose and fell in a rhythmic pattern, peaceful and innocent. She looked so vulnerable, curled up in the nest, her face serene. It was hard to believe that just last night, she had be

  I'd been exposed. The secret I'd kept hidden for so long, the fear I'd carried like a heavy weight, was now out in the open. He knew I was a rare alpha omega, a creature of myth and legend. And he wasn't running away. Okay well he knew half of the secret. It would take an idiot to miss the signs today. But the fact is Jace knew.His words echoed in my mind, "That's right little omega you just need some food." The term "little omega" was a term of endearment, a term used to soothe and comfort. But coming from him, it felt like a betrayal. He'd figured me out, and he'd used it against me.I looked up at him, my eyes filled with a mix of confusion, fear, and a flicker of anger. He was staring at me, his expression unreadable. Was he pitying me? Was he afraid? Or was he something else entirely?"I'm not little," I managed to croak out, my voice barely a whisper. "I'm not weak."He chuckled, a low, rumbling sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Of course you're not," he said, his eyes so

  I am caught in a whirl of shock and disbelief, it's like you're in the eye of an emotional hurricane. Everything's up in the air – Jace's words, Alex's unexpected comeback, and all the raw feelings tangled up inside. It's a lot to process. Why now, of all times? And Jace, with his talk of not rejecting me, what's his deal? Was it all just an act for Alex? But if he was going to reject me why not just let Alex try and fix the bond? I mean if he could them maybe, just maybe I wouldn't It's enough to make anyone's head spin. Standing there, trying to steady myself, it's like the ground's shifting beneath your feet. Decisions are looming, big ones, and they're not going to be easy. But hey, that's life, right? Full of curveballs and surprises. I take a breath, give myself a moment, and remember, I've got this. Well, I think I do."This is all incredibly overwhelming," I muttered, my voice barely a whisper. "I need my nest, and I need it now." The words felt heavy in my mouth, a desperate
