Return of The Rejected Omega Chapter 36
The drugs peeled back slowly, like skin from a wound.First came the cold—deep, medical cold that bit through the thin fabric they'd dressed me in. Then sound filtered in: the steady drip of an IV, the whisper of ventilation, the soft beep of monitors counting heartbeats I couldn't control. My tongue felt swollen, coated in chemical chalk that tasted like artificial sleep.But the corruption in my arm... that burned like always. Black veins pulsing beneath rotted flesh, sending waves of fever-heat through my blood. Without Rona's presence to buffer it, the sensation was raw, unfiltered. Like touching a live wire with bare hands.I tried to move. Leather straps bit into my wrists and ankles, another across my chest. The table beneath me was steel, its chill seeping into my spine. My head throbbed where they'd struck me. How long had I been out?"I know you're awake." Veronica's voice cut through the haze. "Your heart rate changed three minutes ago."I forced my eyes open. The lab swam

Whatever Veronica had injected me with set my blood on fire.I arched against the restraints, a scream lodging in my throat as heat raced through my veins. The corruption in my arm pulsed violently, black lines spreading like cracks in glass. But instead of consuming more flesh, they seemed to be... shifting. Rearranging themselves into patterns I almost recognized."Fascinating." Veronica's voice drifted through the haze of pain. "Look how it responds. The molecular structure is actually stabilizing.""What—" I choked out, "what did you give me?""Just a catalyst." She leaned over me, studying the corruption's movement. "Something to wake up what's already there." Her fingers traced one of the newly formed patterns. "Your mother's work was brilliant, but crude. She didn't have the resources to perfect it. To understand what she'd created."The burning began to fade, leaving behind an odd numbness. Where the corruption had spread, my skin felt different. Harder. Like armor growing ben

Alarms blared through the hallways as red emergency lights flashed. I ran barefoot on the cold tile floor, the hospital gown providing little coverage. My bruised thighs were exposed with each step. The corruption in my arm ache painfully, the black veins visible under my sweaty skin.I didn't know where I was going. The drugs still fogged my head, turning the facility's endless corridors into a labyrinth. Distant screams echoed off the walls—some human, some not. Something had gone very wrong here. But for me, it was a chance.A chance to escape.The hallway seemed to stretch on forever, each turn revealing only more flickering lights and closed doors. My lungs burned with every ragged breath, the metallic taste of fear coating my tongue. Behind me, the sounds of pursuit grew louder - heavy boots pounding against tile, angry voices barking orders.They were getting closer.Panic clawed at my throat as I pushed myself harder, bare feet slapping against the cold floor. The hospital gow

The cell reeked of fear and desperation. I paced the small space, ignoring the throb of my wounds, the pull of the poison still running through my veins. None of it mattered. Not when Stella was out there, alone and hunted.Angela watched me from the other side of the bars, her eyes glittering with a sick sort of amusement. "You're wasting your energy," she said, her voice a mocking purr. "She's exactly where she needs to be."I lunged at the bars, snarling. "If they hurt her, I swear I'll—""You'll what?" Angela laughed. "Bleed on me? Face it, Silas. You're useless like this. Weak and Pathetic."I growled, but the truth of her words stung like silver. Without my wolf, I was just a man. A broken, beaten man.Angela leaned closer, her breath hot on my face. "But Stella... she's strong. Special. And not just because of the corruption.""What are you talking about?"She smiled, sharp and hungry. "Our mother's little experiment. The ritual that saved Stella's life? It made her everything

"Mum."The word hung in the air like a grenade with its pin pulled. No one moved. No one breathed. The alarms seemed to fade to background noise as we all stared at the small boy crumpled at the bottom of the tank, his hand pressed against the glass, eyes fixed on Veronica.His lips formed the word again. "Mum."My grip on Veronica's throat loosened from pure shock. Her son? This was her fucking son?The moment my fingers relaxed, the boy's body convulsed. His back arched unnaturally, spine bowing as if something inside was trying to tear free. His mouth opened, he was screaming, one we couldn’t hear due to the glass. His eyes rolled back until only whites showed."Alexander!" Veronica surged forward, breaking free from my grip completely. I was too stunned to stop her. She slammed her palm against the tank's release mechanism, and the glass partition hissed open. She dropped to her knees, gathering the small, trembling body into her arms."He's dying," she choked out, cradling him ag

SilasI kept my back to the wall, eyes fixed on the doorway. The facility's infrastructure was failing—not just the security systems, but the fundamental design. Pipes burst somewhere in the distance, followed by the hiss of escaping gas. The concrete beneath my feet vibrated with tremors that seemed to come from deep underground.Four corridors connected to this medical bay. Four potential points of attack. If I'd had my wolf, I could have monitored all of them through scent alone. But now, all I had were human ears straining against the cacophony of alarms and distant screams.Behind me, Veronica worked frantically to stabilize her son. Her son. The revelation still hadn't fully registered. What kind of monster experiments on their own child?A crash echoed from the east corridor. My hand tightened around the makeshift weapon I'd fashioned from a broken IV stand."Status?" I called over my shoulder, not taking my eyes off the door."His vitals are stabilizing," Veronica answered, vo

The words hung in the air like poison gas."Are you trying to kill Stella so your son can live?""Do you prefer I say the truth, or lie to your face?"My chest hollowed out. Not from shock—shock required investment, required me to still give a fuck about my own survival. This was just... clarity. Final confirmation of what I'd suspected since waking up strapped to that table.I was never meant to leave this place alive.Alexander's monitors beeped steadily in the quiet that followed Veronica's confession. The child's face was peaceful in unconsciousness, skin flushed with returning color. Black veins had receded from around his eyes, his breathing deepened. Whatever Veronica had done was working.My own corruption throbbed in response. Black lines crawled past my shoulder now, reaching for my neck like hungry fingers. The pain had changed—not the burning of infection anymore, but something deeper. Something pulling at me from the inside, as if the corruption had hooks embedded in my v

SilasThe service tunnel stank of mildew and burnt wiring. My makeshift weapon—a metal rod pried from fallen equipment—felt woefully inadequate as we pushed deeper into the darkness. Water dripped somewhere ahead, the sound amplified by concrete walls that seemed to press closer with every step.Alexander's gurney rattled over uneven flooring, each jolt making me wince. The boy remained unconscious, but stable since Stella's inexplicable intervention. Whatever had passed between them had bought us time, but for what? I still couldn't wrap my head around Veronica's callous admission. Her willingness to sacrifice Stella to save her son.And Stella's equally unfathomable decision to help them anyway.She walked ahead of me now, close behind Angela who led our strange procession. The thin lab coat did little to conceal her naked form beneath, or the corruption's steady advance up her neck. Black veins pulsed beneath her skin with each heartbeat, the pattern shifting subtly when she passed

I showered again, hotter this time, as if I could wash away the implications of what had just happened. The bond had needed release—that much was true. The supernatural tension had been building since the silver integration, threatening our focus, our control.But it wasn't just the bond. And pretending otherwise was a lie neither of us fully believed.I dressed in practical clothes for the briefing, hair still damp, silver lines faded but not gone. The pendant at my throat seems warmer now, responding to whatever changes were accelerating in my blood.The briefing room was crowded—remaining coalition representatives, pack fighters, medical teams. Silas stood at the head of the table, composed and focused as if nothing had happened between us. Only the bond betrayed him, humming with awareness whenever our eyes met."The situation has changed," he began without preamble. "Red River and Pine Valley have withdrawn from the coalition. Shadow Ridge is wavering. We must adjust accordingly.

The bathroom mirror showed the toll of recent days—dark circles under my eyes, fading bruises from the perimeter fight, silver lines visible beneath my skin even at rest now. I looked like what I was becoming—something between wolf and weapon, neither fully human nor fully monster.The hot water helped, washing away blood and tension. I stayed under the spray until my skin pruned, letting the steam fill my lungs, blanking my mind. Temporary peace.It shattered when I stepped out to find Silas sitting on the edge of my bed."What the hell?" I clutched the towel tighter around me. "Ever heard of knocking?""I did. Three times." He didn't look away. "We have a situation.""Serious enough to invade my bathroom?""Pine Valley's pulling out too."That got my attention. "What? When?""Just now. Chen called. Same story as Red River—Logan made contact, offered terms, council voted.""Fuck." I sat heavily beside him, maintaining careful distance despite the emergency. "That's two packs in one d

Blood spattered across my face as I drove my knife into the hybrid's throat. Not a killing blow—these fuckers were resilient—but enough to buy me seconds. I twisted the silver blade, widening the wound, before kicking it back into the trees."Six o'clock," Silas called.I spun, dropping to one knee as another hybrid lunged overhead. It landed awkwardly, and I slashed across its hamstrings before it could recover. The silver blade cut through enhanced muscle and tendon, sending it crashing to the forest floor.The perimeter breach had turned out to be a scouting party—four hybrids, two human handlers with tactical gear. Test run, most likely. Probing our defenses before the eclipse."Clear on the east," Mason's voice crackled through the radio. "Two neutralized.""South perimeter clear," another voice confirmed.I finished the wounded hybrid with a knife through the eye socket—the most reliable way to kill them, we'd discovered. Silver to the brain. Nothing else stuck.Silas approached

A heavy silence fell. The widow studied me, weighing my words against her grief. Finally, she nodded once—not acceptance, not yet, but willingness to listen.The demonstration continued—questions answered, abilities explained, strategy discussed. By the end, the mood had shifted from hostile skepticism to grim determination. Not unity, exactly, but something approaching common purpose.Reeves declared the gathering concluded. The pack dispersed slowly, many lingering to catch glimpses of the silver lines beneath my skin, or to hear fragments of conversation between their Alpha and me."You've made an impression," Reeves observed when we were relatively alone. "Whether good or bad remains to be seen.""As long as you hold to the timeline.""We will. For now." He studied me with that predatory gaze. "You're not what I expected, Luna Stella.""What did you expect?""Someone broken by rejection. Someone defined by her mate bond rather than her own strength." He inclined his head slightly—

The meeting dragged for hours—strategies dissected, contingencies argued, egos managed. By the time it ended, I had barely enough time to prepare for the Shadow Ridge visit.I found Bella in the library, surrounded by ancient texts and modern printouts. The bags under her eyes suggested she hadn't slept much."Any updates on the ritual site?" I asked.She shook her head. "Surveillance shows continued construction, but no major changes to the chamber layout. The central platform appears to be complete." She slid a satellite photo toward me. "They've added these structures around the perimeter—power conduits, possibly, or some kind of containment system.""For the hybrids?""For you." She met my eyes. "Logan's preparing for your capture, Stella. These modifications match historical descriptions of goddess blood containment."Of course. He'd be a fool not to plan for every contingency, including my capture."We need to adjust our approach vector," I said. "Avoid these areas.""Already do

My blood wasn't right anymore.I stared at the vial Zeta Ruth had drawn that morning, watching how it separated—normal red plasma on bottom, silver particulates floating on top, refusing to mix. Like oil and water, except both were parts of me now."The integration is stable," Zeta Ruth reported, studying her microscope. "No cellular deterioration, no rejection symptoms. Whatever you did when you saved Silas, it fundamentally altered your blood composition.""Great," I muttered. "Logan will be thrilled."Three days since the assassination attempt. Three days of tests, meetings, and preparation. The coalition was holding, but barely—territorial disputes and ancient grievances threatening the fragile alliance with each passing hour."Have you experienced any side effects?" Zeta Ruth asked. "Pain, weakness, unusual sensations?"Besides feeling like my insides were made of broken glass? "Nothing significant."She gave me a look that said she knew I was lying. "The silver isn't just in you

The formal dining room hadn't been used in years. Dust sheets covered the long mahogany table, and cobwebs decorated the chandelier. I stood in the doorway, watching pack members clean and polish under Mason's direction."The Shadow Ridge delegation arrives at noon," Silas said, appearing beside me. "Mountain Creek by three. Red River just confirmed—they'll be here before sunset.""Seven alphas in one room." I crossed my arms. "When's the last time that happened?""1962. The Silver Plague outbreak." He glanced at me. "You ready for this?""Define ready."The corner of his mouth twitched. "Able to navigate pack politics without starting a war.""Then no, probably not."He almost smiled—a rare occurrence these days. The approaching eclipse had everyone on edge, humor in short supply."They'll test you," he warned. "Your authority, your bloodline, your right to stand beside me. Traditional alphas don't adapt quickly to change.""I noticed." I gestured to my training clothes. "Should I ch

The council meeting that night was grim. Bella took notes as we described what we'd witnessed, her face growing paler with each detail."Forced conversion," she murmured. "He's found a way to override the rejection response.""At what cost?" I demanded. "That wolf was being torn apart from the inside.""The cost doesn't matter to Logan," Silas said. "Only the result.""We can't let this happen," Mason declared. "The eclipse ritual—if he perfects this process, makes it permanent...""He'll have an army of controllable hybrids," I finished. "Each one as strong as three normal wolves, immune to silver, loyal only to him.""So we stop him," Eliza said, steel in her voice despite her lingering grief. "We hit the quarry before the eclipse. Destroy his lab, free the captives.""It's not that simple," Silas cautioned. "The quarry is a fortress now. We'd lose half the pack trying to breach it.""Then we need another approach," I said. All eyes turned to me. "Logan wants me. My blood. I'm the k

The quarry lay in a natural depression, surrounded by pine forest and abandoned mining equipment. From our vantage point on the ridge, I could see the extent of Logan's modifications—new structures, camouflaged entrances, subtle signs of extensive underground construction."They've been busy," Eliza whispered, her enhanced vision picking out details in the growing darkness.Marcus crouched beside her, scanning the perimeter. He'd barely looked at me during the journey, maintaining a careful distance that spoke of either respect or fear. Possibly both."Guards at all access points," he reported. "But they're focused outward. Not expecting approach from above.""The main entrance leads to a vertical shaft," Silas said, consulting hand-drawn maps from the previous reconnaissance. "Elevators down to the primary chamber.""Too exposed," I noted. "Alternative routes?""Old mining tunnels." He pointed to a cluster of buildings near the quarry's edge. "They connect to the main chamber from mu
