The Rejected Omega: There Were Times I Wished You Were Dead Chapter 77
AmberThe GPS led us to a sleek glass building with gilded signage and a cascading water feature outside. The front said Silva Luxe Spa in shimmering calligraphy.“This can’t be it,” I said.Ichika parked the car and slid her sunglasses off. “This is it. Let’s go inside.”I hesitated, but followed her inside.For such a high-class spa, the place was surprisingly busy. The scent of floral oils and burning citrus-sage candles clung to the air, a calming contrast to the bustling energy within. I watched women and men alike, from all walks of life, lounging in robes, faces half-covered in multicolored masks, cucumbers perched on eyelids, or nails painted with impossible precision. Soft jazz played from unseen speakers, blending with the low murmur of conversation, the occasional hum of a facial steamer, and the clinking of glassware from refreshments being served.A well-dressed Beta woman with sleek black hair and almond skin approached us. Her heels clicked against the marble tiles, and

AmberShe placed the cup down, her voice growing quiet. “Anyway… I always had this feeling that, like his father, Rayne would have a destined mate. Alphas and Omegas only make up twenty percent of the population. Mate bonds are even rarer. But still, I believed someone out there was made just for him. So when he threw that away—for what was clearly lustful infatuation, driven by confusion—it hurt more than I can explain.”She locked eyes with me.“Rayne never told me he had found you. Or that he had even marked you. If he had, believe me… I would have found you. I would have made him take full responsibility. Then maybe… we wouldn’t have ended up here.”Her words struck something in me, and for a moment, I allowed myself to wonder—what if?What if Rayne had told her? What if she’d found me, and made him do the “right” thing?We would’ve been forced to marry and I would be Luna.He would’ve hated me.I saw it so clearly. Like a living nightmare painted right before my eyes: 18 year old

AmberI woke up with the sharp, nauseating realization that I had just made the biggest mistake of my life.The air around me was heavy, too warm, and thick with a scent that sent a shiver down my spine. My stomach churned as I blinked my eyes open, my body sluggish and sore in ways I didn’t want to think about. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar, and the bed I was lying in wasn’t mine. Panic set in, tightening its claws around my chest.I sat up slowly, every movement feeling like it required monumental effort. The sheet slipped from my shoulders, exposing bare skin. My breath hitched as I realized I was naked. Completely naked.No, no, no. This can’t be happening.Memories of the night before were fragmented and elusive, like trying to hold water in my hands. The last clear moment I could recall was Reed dragging me to Brittany’s house, his excitement contagious even though I hadn’t wanted to go.Brittany had thrown the party to celebrate graduating high school in two months. She’d

Amber“Amber, get in the bathroom. Now.” Rayne hissed, his voice barely above a whisper, his tone sharp and commanding.“What?” I whispered back, frozen in place as panic surged through me. Reed’s knocking on the door grew louder, more insistent.Rayne cursed under his breath and grabbed my arm, practically shoving me toward the bathroom. “Just go. Now!”I stumbled into the small, dimly lit bathroom, clutching the edge of the sink to keep myself upright. The door clicked shut behind me, and I heard the muffled sound of Rayne throwing on his clothes as Reed’s voice carried through the door.“Rayne? Open up! What the hell are you doing in there?”“Give me a second,” Rayne called back, his tone strained but even.My heart raced as I leaned against the wall, every muscle in my body tense. My hands trembled, and I pressed them against my stomach, trying to will myself to calm down.The door creaked open, and I held my breath as Rayne finally let Reed in.“Finally,” Reed said, his voice muf

Amber For as long as I could remember, my life had been a series of struggles and disappointments. Being an Omega wasn’t just a curse—it was a brand, a mark that said I was worthless from the moment I was born.My mother died giving birth to me, and my father made sure I never forgot it. To him, I was the reason she was gone, the reason his life fell apart. He didn’t call me his daughter; he called me a murderer, a killer who had stolen the woman he loved. My earliest memories were filled with his cold, unforgiving eyes and the sharp bite of his words.It wasn’t enough for him to hate me—my brothers followed his lead, treating me as though I didn’t exist or, worse, as though I was something to be ashamed of. They were Alpha warriors, strong and respected in the Pack, everything I wasn’t. To them, I was weak, a constant reminder of our family’s disgrace.For years, I tried to earn their love. I thought if I worked hard enough, stayed out of their way, or did everything perfectly, they

AmberThe walk back to the shelter was a blur, my mind spiraling in endless loops around the bond thrumming at the base of my neck. Rayne's mark felt like a brand, burning against my skin, a constant reminder that he was mine—and worse, that I was his.I didn’t want to think about him. I didn’t want to picture him with Reed, his hands on him, his lips pressing against his—no, I couldn’t go there. I refused to go there.Once I got to my room, I locked the door behind me, grabbed a towel, and headed straight for the bathroom. The water in the tiny stall ran cold—it always did—but I didn’t care. I scrubbed myself furiously, scrubbing until my skin turned red, desperate to wash away the scent of Rayne that still clung to me.But no matter how hard I scrubbed, it wasn’t enough. The bond wouldn’t let me forget. It was a cruel tether, making me hyper-aware of every beat of his heart, every breath he took, as if he were right there with me. It was sweet, torturous intimacy, and I hated how mu

AmberIt had been two weeks since that night—since Rayne had marked me, since our worlds had collided in the most painful and disastrous way imaginable.Two weeks since I had seen or heard from him.I told myself, at first, that he needed time. Anyone would. How could Rayne possibly come to terms with a mate bond, the betrayal it represented to Reed, and the weight of everything else all at once? But as the days stretched on in agonizing silence, the emptiness of his absence became unbearable.The bond wouldn’t let me forget him.It wasn’t just a mark. A mate bond was far more than a symbol of ownership or a claim. It was a tether—an indestructible, unyielding tie that linked our souls. Through it, I should have been able to sense his emotions, feel his heartbeat echoing alongside mine, and even hear his voice in my mind if either of us willed it. The bond should have let us soothe each other, even from afar, a connection so deep and intimate it defied explanation.But Rayne had slamm

RayneReed’s room was dark, lit only by the faint glow of his bedside lamp. The bed smelled like him—warm, familiar, safe. His head rested on my chest, his long, luscious hair spilling over my bare skin like silk. One of his arms was draped over me, holding me close as if I might disappear if he let go.“You know, Amber’s been acting so weird lately,” Reed said suddenly, his voice cutting through the silence.I hummed absently in response, running my fingers through his hair. The motion was automatic, a routine I’d done a hundred times before, but my mind was far away.“She didn’t even wait for me after school today,” he continued, his tone laced with curiosity. “She’s been distant, like she’s trying to avoid me or something. Don’t you think that’s strange?”Another hum. My hand moved through his hair again, but I wasn’t really listening. My thoughts were consumed by something else—someone else.Amber.It had been two weeks since that night. Two weeks since I’d marked her, since I’d l

AmberThe second we got back from court, I wanted nothing more than to collapse. My body hurt. My brain hurt. My heart? That was a special kind of mess I couldn’t even begin to sort through yet.Evalie was with Ken in the living room, watching cartoons. I didn’t even have the strength to kiss her forehead. I just told her I needed a nap, and she nodded, already busy laughing at whatever chaos the animated characters were getting up to.So I slipped into my room and melted into the bed. Eyes closed. Breathing steady. I could still smell the courtroom somehow, that cold, sterile scent of wood polish and tension. My pillow smelled better—lavender detergent and the faintest trace of Ichika’s favorite room spray.And then… my phone buzzed.I ignored it.It buzzed again.Still ignored.But it buzzed again. Then again. And again.With a groan, I reached for it, heart starting to pound a little with every ring. The number was unfamiliar, just a string of digits I didn’t recognize. But somethi

Amber“Daddy, please stop,” Evalie giggled breathlessly, her curls flying with the motion. “You’re going to make me dizzy!”Rayne finally slowed down and held her close against his chest. His voice was low, raw, sincere.“I’m so sorry I’ve been away for so long,” he murmured, hugging her tighter. “I didn’t mean to leave you and mummy alone. But I promise, sweetheart, I’ll never leave again. No matter what. I’ll work VERY HARD to be the best daddy in the whole wide world.”Evalie’s little gasp was full of wonder. “Yay! We’re gonna have so much fun!” she started rambling. “I’ll show you all my drawings and we’ll go to the zoo and I’ll tell Miss Diana that my daddy’s back and you can take me to school and—”Her words tumbled out like a stream of joy.And I stood there like a fool, swallowing emotions I didn’t want to feel.I hated that all of this was getting to me.I hated how good he was with her.Rayne wasn’t supposed to be the kind of man who could hold a child like she was the most

AmberThe courtroom was thinning out—people filling out steadily, murmured conversations fading into hallway echoes. The judge had long since left, and yet I still stood frozen in place, Evalie’s small hand clutching mine tightly, as if grounding me in this moment.I was tired. My head pounded, not from the proceedings, but from everything that had come before and everything I knew would come after. I wanted nothing more than to get Evalie in the car, drive away from this building, and breathe. Just breathe.But as we turned toward the exit, Evalie tugged on my sleeve and tilted her face up at me, green eyes shining with hopeful excitement.“Mummy,” she said, her voice soft but clear, “can I meet my daddy now?”I stopped dead in my tracks.The question hit harder than I expected. Not because I didn’t know it was coming. I had promised her. I told her she would meet him today. But hearing her say it aloud—so innocent, so trusting—struck something deep in my chest that I hadn’t braced f

AmberI heard gasps. Felt every stare pierce through me.Robert didn’t wait.“And there you have it!” He announced triumphantly. “She admits it. Out of her own mouth. She denied a child her father. She let her grow up without the emotional support, the discipline, and the presence of a stable Alpha figure—because her pride was hurt. This wasn’t protection. It was punishment.”He stepped forward. “Miss Queen’s selfishness has already damaged this child. And now she wants the court to let her continue the damage unchecked? At what cost to Evalie’s development? Her future? Her identity?”I wanted to scream. To cry. To collapse and disappear.But Ichika squeezed my hand.I looked down. Her grip was firm. Unshakable. You’re not alone, it said.Robert sat back, oozing victory.Ina rose again.“Your Honor,” she said, her voice like flint, “I request permission to speak.”“Granted.”Ina faced the court like a queen facing her people.“Miss Queen had good reason to withhold Evalie’s identity f

AmberThe courtroom wasn’t what I expected.It was colder. Quieter. A looming silence, only broken by the shuffle of papers and the creak of benches as people took their seats. High ceilings. Fluorescent lighting. A lone judge perched behind the bench, half-obscured by the mahogany podium before him.We took our place on the left side of the room—Ina, Evalie, and I. Ichika, Ken and Ian sat quietly behind us, their presence a fortress of calm I didn’t know I’d need until this moment.Across the aisle sat Rayne and Reed.Rayne looked like stone, his jaw locked tight and his hands folded, knuckles white. Reed, by contrast, looked like he belonged in a different kind of arena—like he was auditioning for an award instead of preparing for legal war. That smug little smirk never left his face.I focused on Evalie, who sat quietly beside me with a coloring book Ichika had brought along to keep her busy. Her small hands moved the crayon slowly across the page, completely unaware of the storm g

AmberThe air felt heavier than usual this morning.I’d barely slept, caught between nerves and the ache behind my ribs that always came when Evalie clung to me in her sleep. Her tiny hand still rested over my stomach as I lay there for a moment longer, memorizing the shape of her breathing.Today, everything could change.I slipped out of bed carefully, tucking the blanket around her. Her blond curls splayed against the pillow, the same soft shade as Rayne’s. I pushed the thought away.The house was already buzzing. I could hear Ichika clinking something in the kitchen—probably forcing Ken to eat breakfast even though his stomach was just as twisted as mine.I went to the bathroom and stared at my reflection. I didn’t recognize the woman looking back. She looked…braver. Or maybe more resigned. I wasn’t sure which one I needed more.By the time I stepped back into the bedroom, Evalie was sitting up, rubbing her eyes.“Morning, pumpkin,” I said, keeping my voice light.Evalie blinked,

AmberEvalie blinked up at me, visibly confused, the way kids often get when something doesn’t click right away. Her little brows scrunched, and I could almost see her mind turning the words over like puzzle pieces that didn’t quite fit—yet.I smiled gently and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear.“You know how the other kids in your school have two parents?” I asked, voice soft, steady, though my heart pounded like a drum. “Well… that man from earlier—he’s your other parent. He’s your daddy.”She went very still.The silence that followed was thick. Not heavy exactly—just full. Like the air was holding its breath. I braced myself for her confusion, maybe even tears or questions I wasn’t ready to answer. My stomach clenched. I shouldn’t have waited so long. I should’ve told her sooner, eased her into it. But there was no going back now.Evalie’s lips parted slightly as she processed it… and then—without warning—her entire face lit up.“Really?” she whispered. “I have a daddy?”Be
