After Rejection: A wolfless Omega's Comeback

TEN

Sébastien’s Pov

It’s been a week. One week and I haven’t heard back from Rowena. Yet, it was impossible that she hadn’t seen the letter when I made sure it was delivered to her room.

I had been convincing myself she must be taking her time to process it but it’s been a week now, and my patience was hanging by a thread. What if I never hear from her? Could this be that she’s moved on completely?

At the mere thought of it, I clenched my feet hard on the pedal, screeching the car to a halt suddenly in the middle of the road.

Heck… no. It couldn’t be. Not when she has my kids. I haven’t gotten to see them physically yet but it was only a matter of time. They are mine, my blood runs in their veins. Rowena wouldn’t try to hinder me from seeing them, would she?

My phone pinged with a flood of texts at a time, jolting me out of my thoughts. I picked it up to see who the culprit was, and there was a pause before I let out a low hiss as I saw my Beta’s name lighting up the screen.

I could already picture him losing it at the other end as he continued to spam me, probably thinking he could get me to change my mind and come back.

I exhaled slowly, before responding with a single text. “Postpone the meeting.” Then as careless as I could be, I flung the phone aside, and it landed on the seat next to me. Honestly, even if it had fallen and broken into pieces, I still wouldn’t have batted an eye.

The only thing that could get a reaction out of me now was my ex-mate. Ever since the news broke that she was in another pack, living under the roof of an Alpha who was supposedly her new lover, I’d since lost all sense of reasoning.

Today was the worst of them all.

Thirty minutes into the meeting with my officials, and I couldn’t make sense of a single word from whatever they were saying, nor could I focus, contribute to it, or make any judgement. It clicked to me then that I had to leave and get myself together, and I found myself in my car, driving back home without so much as properly ending the meeting.

I couldn’t keep going like this.

I had to pull myself together, somehow, before everything I’d built started to crumble right under me.

My pack needed me. They needed a ruling Alpha, not one stuck in the past, unable to get over an ex he pushed away with his own hands.

With my pulse thundering in my ears, I shook my head, trying to clear my haze and switched the ignition back on. But I couldn’t drive.

Not when a familiar giggle reached my ears, forcing me to look across the street. My jaw ticked. It… was Olivia.

Her car was parked by the roadside, just a few meters from where I was.

And there she was, arms wrapped around a man and his resting on her waist. I could only catch the side of his face, and that damn smile he wore as he leaned in and kissed her… that alone was enough to make my grip tighten on the steering wheel.

“No, don’t you understand? I need to get back home quickly before it’s late…” She trailed off, laughing softly as she tried to pull away. But he silenced her with another kiss. This time, longer and deeper and I swear, I could hear her soft panting even from here.

Rage filled my chest and before I knew it, I was out of the car, slamming the door shut behind me.

Even as I stopped right behind them, they were still lost in the moment, until I loudly cleared my throat.

“Can someone tell me what the f**k is going on here, huh?” I rasped, and they both jolted in shock, abruptly pulling away from their each other as if struck by lightning.

As soon as they were facing me, it took every shred of self control I had not to pounce on the guy, but I knew if I did, not only was I going to cause a scene, he’d die by my hands.

Olivia’s eyes widened, her body stiffening before she recovered and forced a nervous smile.

“Uhm, H…honey,” She managed to call out, mustering up her courage and taking a cautious step forward. “W-what are you doing here?” She whispered with fear, swallowing the heavy lump in her throat.

“Really? You’re seriously asking me that?” I questioned with a scoff, my voice sharp with disbelief as I slapped her hand away before it could touch me. “How about you explain your disgusting act first?” I barked. “Tell me how a whole Luna turned into a public w***e overnight, huh?! Is this what you do the second I step out of the house?

“Sébastien. Listen, I can explai—” Olivia shook with panic, her voice shaking as she tried to offer an excuse. But before she could finish, she was interrupted by her secret lover.

“Hey, you can’t just come here and talk to her that way.” He snapped, stepping in front of her and shielding her with his body.

“Who are you?” My gaze snapped towards him, just remembering the dumbass was still standing there.

“Answer me, who the f**k do you think you are to tell me how to talk to my wife?” I thundered, glaring at him.

And he blinked as his body went cold, the realization he hadn’t just messed with any woman but an Alpha’s dawning on him like a slap to his face.

His eyes holding terror in them, he glanced at Olivia for some sort of denial from her but she gazed down at her feet in shame, refusing to meet his eyes. That was his sign. He turned hastily and took off running the opposite direction like the coward he is.

Once I was left with her, I didn’t spare her another glance before striding back towards my car.

However I barely reached halfway when she chased after me, managing to catch a hold of my hand and my teeth clenched.

“If you know what’s good for you, back off or I’ll have no choice but to expose you right here and now. I’m sure you don’t want that.” My face stern, I spat furiously before shoving her aside and walking off.

Once inside my car, I slammed the door shut, started the car engine and sped off, headed home without a second glance backward.

All through the ride, my heart squeezed itself out in my chest, the pain coming like never before. All because of Olivia, that cheat!

Still, I didn’t let the fury inside me explode yet. Not until she sets foot in that house again. She’s betrayed my trust and honestly? I don’t give a damn if this is what destroys us both.

She made her choice the moment she opened her legs for another man. Now it’s my turn… and I swear, she won’t see it coming.
