The Alpha and the Omega

Chapter 3

‘I don’t understand. He is our mate . I know I could hear his wolf calling to me. Why did he not claim us? And why was he holding that awful excuse for a wolf?’

‘Nova, it doesn’t matter. He doesn’t want us. I could tell. We will be OK, I know we will.’ Or at least I hoped.

I wanted to cry but I couldn’t. We had cried together for years and we had no tears left. Lucky for me, I didn’t have to return to the pack house until tomorrow at lunch and by then my mate and Milly would be gone.

Sleep eluded me that night, so around 2 am I made my way to the boarder and quickly shifted. I allowed Nova to run. We loved to run. Even before my wolf, I loved to run. A part of me kept hoping that our Mate would show up out of nowhere and sweep me off my feet. But this wasn’t a fairytale and I had to deal with the fact he had chosen somebody else.

Jayson’s POV

“Alpha Damon, I have changed my mind. I will only take Milly if I can take an Omega with me.”

“What? Why? You know what? That's fine. You can have Becca, I will.”

“NO” I said in my Alpha tone. “I will pick the Omega I want and you will allow me to have her. Bring me the Omega's from dinner last night. Or my warriors at your boarders will kill everybody and I will take her anyway.”

Alpha Damon swallowed as he debated his next move. “Fine! I will have them lined up for you in just a moment.”

“Smart move Alpha Damon.” I stated as I leaned back and placed my hands behind my head waiting to see my mate. I know Alpha Damon is probably wondering why I wanted an Omega all of a sudden, but I didn’t care. Beau needed her close and even if I couldn’t take her as a mate, I would bring her along until I mated with Milly. I didn't need or want an Omega as a mate.

Jaclyn’s POV

I was really looking forward to a quiet morning. I had to work right after lunch at the cafe and I really didn’t want to deal with Alpha Damon. He had mind link all Omega’s from dinner last night to return to the pack house. Looks like I will have to see my Mate one last time. I quickly pulled my hair into a high pony and made my way to the pack house.

Once inside, I could feel the mate bond pull me towards him. As soon as I entered the main hall, the pull was replaced by tension. As I walked into the main hall I kept my head up high. I see all of the Omega’s that made dinner last night lined up. I made my way to the end of the line. I kept my head up high and stared off into space. He would not make me feel weak! I might be titled an Omega now, but I have Beta blood running through me.

My mate stood and walked painfully slowly down the line. Until his face was only inches from my face. At first, he maintained eye contact and his eyes drifted a couple times to my lips. He stepped back as his eyes trailed my entire body and a smirk slowly formed on his lips.

“This one.” He said as he turned to look at Alpha Damon.

“No! You can have any other Omega but she is not leaving the Blue Moon Pack.” Alpha Damon stated but there was a panic in his voice.

“Oh so brave now, Alpha Damon. But remember my promise. All I have to do is mind link my warriors.” Smirked Alpha Jayson.

I could see the internal battle taking place inside of Alpha Damon’s head. “Time is ticking Alpha Damon”, Alpha Jayson said, taking him out of his thoughts.

“Fine” and he slowly turned to me. “Jaclyn, go pack your stuff. You will be going with Milly and Alpha Jayson back to the BloodMoon pack”

I wanted to scream no but I knew it would not do me any good. This was only going to change my escape plan, but I could still make it happen. I would not stay in a pack where my mate took another as his Luna. I quickly turned on my heals and bolted out of the house and towards my cottage. Only to sense somebody behind me.

I turned to see whom I assumed was Alpha Jayson’s Beta behind me. I didn’t say anything, I just kept going till I got to the cottage. It only took me a minute to grab my already packed bag. I only needed 6 more days. Before his Beta could get to the door, I was back at the door with my bag. “I’m ready.” Was all I said and walked back past him towards the front of the house. Waiting to see what my future holds.
