Alpha's Rejected Omega Mate

•MALLORY•

“Mallory…” I heard the deep voice whisper in my ear as I slept on the bed.

“Mmm.” I tried to turn and push the figure away, but the person looming above me yanked a handful of my hair.

“Ah!” My eyes snapped open, and I saw who was above me. “Ace Lennox. The Beta’s son.”

“Ace… what are you doing here?” I asked, gazing into his honey-brown eyes.

“Shush…” He silenced me by placing his thumb on my thin lips.

“I came to see how you’re doing. It’s your birthday tomorrow. Don’t you think you deserve a birthday gift?” he asked, stripping off his white top.

“What kind of birthday gift is that? Why don’t you wait until tomorrow to present it to me?” I asked, but he shook his head and replied, “No. You deserve to have the gift tonight. It’s very special, and I’ve been keeping it for you.”

“What’s that?” I asked, looking at his handsome brown face.

Ace was the Beta’s son, and even though I was an Alpha’s daughter, I had lost everyone’s respect because I hadn’t shifted since I was born, while my younger sister, Sonia, had been able to shift since she was 14 years old.

Everyone in our pack looked up to Sonia while they overlooked me, and worst of all, Sonia seemed to bask in it, making it look like I was the bad person.

I loved Ace and wanted to be his mate, but he never spoke to me during the daytime. Most times he avoided me, and I wondered how he had managed to sneak into this room and into my bed.

My room was on the top floor of the magnificent two‑story building that was the Alpha’s mansion, so it amazed me that Ace had been able to get in.

“I want to give you a priceless gift, Mallory, but you must promise me that you won’t shout and that you’ll endure it,” Ace said as he removed his trousers.

I gulped hard, staring at his broad, muscular chest. I felt the urge to touch him. I knew that Ace was going to be my mate tomorrow, and I wondered what the birthday celebration would be like for me, since my father didn’t like me.

“I want to fụck you, Mallory. Just don’t shout, alright? I want you as much as you want me too,” Ace said, his brown eyes glowing in the darkness.

“Alright,” I agreed. At this point, it warmed my heart to see that Ace wanted me. I knew that everyone in the pack looked down on me, but knowing that I had someone who didn’t made me happy.

“I know that we are going to be destined mates. I want you, Ace,” I told him, caressing his chest as he brought his face closer to mine.

Ace kissed my lips hungrily. He was a 21‑year‑old man, and many girls in our pack crushed on him. Even Sonia, my younger sister, hoped that by the time she turned 18, she would become Ace’s mate.

Sonia and I were only a year apart because my father had married her mother after my mother died giving birth to me. We were half‑sisters, and my father had taken another Luna to help protect our pack.

My mother was an Omega who happened to be my father’s true mate, and when I was born, the pack doctor told my father that I was an Omega too—a weak link in the pack—which disappointed him. To make the whole matter worse, I was unable to shift like the rest of our pack members.

I was short and not as tall as Sonia. She was tall, light‑skinned, and very beautiful. I wasn’t a dwarf, but I was of average height and not as tall as her.

It hurt that no one wanted me, but seeing that Ace wanted me and knowing that he was my mate, I agreed to make love with him, hoping that he would give me the best birthday gift. Besides, it was my 18th birthday eve.

“Are you ready?” Ace asked, now fully naked on my bed.

I swallowed hard, hardly believing that I was doing this with Ace.

He took off my nightdress and left me completely naked on the bed with him.

“Yes,” I moaned, breathless, as Ace prepared to thrust into me.

By the time he crossed the bridge and pushed into me, I moaned and cried, but he didn’t stop.

Ace kept going until I was about to faint.

“Damn it, Mallory! You’re so tight!” Ace growled, still moving, and he brought his face close to mine. “You’re mine,” he said, burying his face in my neck before sinking his fangs into me.

“Ah!” I groaned as Ace climaxed inside me. After a while, he pulled out and licked the spot where he had marked my neck.

“I have to go now, Mallory. Happy birthday,” Ace said, kissing my lips and dressing at speed just as I heard the sound of footsteps approaching my door.

The door burst open, but Ace had already fled out the window. I wondered if he hadn’t broken his leg, and then my stepmother, Luna Lily, came in.

“Mallory, what are you doing on the bed, naked at this time of the night? Were you the one moaning?” She marched up to the bed, yanked away the bedsheet I had used to cover my chest, and glared down at me.

“Mallory, you slut! Who were you fụcking in your room?” she growled, grabbing my left arm and dragging me, not caring that I was unclothed.
