All Chapters of After Rejection: A wolfless Omega's comeback : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Rowena’s Pov“What’s the problem?” I was so frightened that I jerked up from the bed, into a standing position. But he had momentarily lost the ability to speak. Jace stood in the middle of the room, beads of sweats covering his face as he exhaled in and out, trying hard to catch his breathe. I only just asked of him hours ago and I was told he hasn’t come back. For him to be here now, it definitely means he has an update regarding Sébestien and that piqued my interest. The more seconds that ticked away, I realized I was losing whatever was left of my patience. “Are you ready to speak now or—”“It’s Sébestien.” Before I could finish saying, he finally found his voice and interjected, raising his head. “I spent days following him, and today, he visited his parents. It was there I found out there’s going to be a marriage soon.” My heart skipped a beat. Marriage? “You mean Sébestien is getting married?” I asked again to confirm I didn’t just hear him wrong. He nodded, proving my h

Rowena’s PovI held my children’s hands as protectively as I could and led them toward the Alpha’s car waiting outside the school’s gate. Immediately I opened the backseat door, and they climbed in, I watched twin faces light up when they saw who was in the driver’s seat. “Daddy!” They were hugging him in a blink. I couldn't help but smile as I placed their school bags on the vacant space and shut the door. I reached for the passenger’s door, about to enter when I felt a sudden touch on my shoulder. An instant fear crept under my skin and jolted, turning around. I could have sworn it was Sébestien. Only the idea that he could suddenly appear out of nowhere alone had been something of dread to me ever since our encounter after four years. But the person before me wasn’t tall, muscular or had those intense eyes I had once fallen in love with. The person staring at me right now was a woman. I sighed shakily, leaning back against the car. “How may I help you, please?” I asked, frustra

Rowena’s Pov To say I was annoyed would be a total understatement to what I was feeling right now. If anything, I felt a burning heat from within. It might seem crazy but I could already imagine my world crumbling in front of me, just because of that one letter. It was like the weight of the world being placed on my shoulders. Sebastien was going to get married. No, forced to. I was the only reason that marriage wouldn’t hold. I might be hell bent on not getting back together with him, but there was no assurance Sebastien would stay still and just get on the alter without taking any action. I tried not to fumble with my fingers as I turned around and faced my kids. They were still playing together, and my throat burned at the fact I was about to ruin the happiness on their faces. But I had no choice. “Aiden, Lily. Gather whatever materials you have in school tomorrow and prepare to change schools.” I lightly clapped my hands, drawing their attention. To my surprise, Lily jabbed

Rowena’s PovAlpha Alexander was at home and in his study room. The little awkwardness and tension that was hovering between us when I entered dissolved as I told him about stumbling upon Olivia. “If she’s in my pack, doesn’t that mean I could kick her out?” Alexander closed the file in his hand, and leaned forward in his seat, dark eyes burrowing into mine as if he was trying to dissect what was going on in my head. “What?” I was genuinely startled. “No, you can’t do that.” I added, shaking my head sternly. I felt a dip in my stomach at my refusal, but I didn’t take it back. “Why can’t I? You’ve always wanted revenge.” Instead of taking my refusal for it, Alexander pressed, clearly encouraged to convince me. However, my mind was as solid as rock. “Yes, I have always wanted it and still do,” I admitted, setting the glass of water that had been in my hand on the table. “But not like that. Kicking her out would only make her feel that despite all these years, she still has an effe

Sébastien PovThe past few weeks had been a whirlwind of emotions. I went from agonizing over an ex mate I had lost, hiding away in my home in distress, to finally making the one choice I had never wanted to make. Now, my wedding to Ivy James was in three days. I felt like there was no need to keep putting it off when it was evident my pack could start to fall apart if I didn’t take the step sooner. After all, the councils were already raising questioning brows at my lack of action in installing a new Luna to the vacant position. I realized I could no longer afford to let the betrayal from Olivia and the guilt of the past cost me more than it already had. After all, it was a marriage orchestrated by my mother. It would be purely a business union and I had made sure Ivy already knew not to expect anything more from me. To her, she was certain love could blossom between us in the marriage. A hope my mother must have planted in her head, but it was only a matter of time before she go
