Chasing And Claiming My Rejected Omega Mate:Alpha's Severe Regret [BL]

Kenny

Nikolai might have a lot of energy for his age. He might be a brainiac and a really smart person outside education, but Nikolai wasn’t a restless child. It was easy for him to fall asleep, which was why he had no trouble falling asleep with the lights off. infact, it was what he preferred. He didn’t even need to be read to in order to fall asleep, he only loved listening to me read to him just because he considered it a bonding moment.

However, after that episode which I knew left him with a little trauma, he had become restless. It was harder for him to fall asleep, and of course I didn’t let Rory know about this because he was only gonna worry his head off.

Since Niko could already differentiate scents’ meanings, he was very right to have asked me to keep it away from Rory. Since that particular episode yesterday, it was like something shifted inside of him and had left him restless ever since. On a normal day, my scent would have been enough to get him settled and relaxed, but this time it wasn’t working. Rory’s scent only made Niko feel guilty, unlike mine because he believed I understood him better.

I knew that had hurt Rory a little, not because Niko trusted me more than his father in this situation, but because Rory didn’t feel enough for his son for the first time. That was a pretty normal emotion to feel, which was why I asked Niko to go give him a hug after I got through to him yesterday whereby he blocked everyone out.

At the hospital today, after it was confirmed that he was an enigma, a lot of things instantly made sense. The little guess I had ended up becoming right, and now I understood why my scent wasn’t feeling enough for him, because what he actually needs is his father, an enigma.

Jason appeared in my mind almost immediately and I felt a scowl slowly forming across my face.

Was that aashole an enigma?

Thinking about it right now would make the weird reaction I had towards him to make a lot more sense. Not because it was weird for me to feel a little submissive to alphas, but because that was someone I hated, and the two situations he had had me trapped against a wall, or the ground, both moments weren’t a moment a sane person was supposed to feel anything aside from anger. I didn’t bother telling Rory about the reaction I had on my second close encounter with Jason, the one where we had both fallen after I shoved him, which prompted him to roll around and trap me underneath his body on the ground– because I had felt too disgusted with myself to do that, and also extremely confused because I had thought that first time was a fluke, but after it happened again, I was at a complete loss of what to do or think.

I shook my head to rid my mind of that thought, that wasn’t an image that’s supposed to be appearing in my mind right now, not when I should only be thinking of how annoying and irritating Jason was.

Niko was curled up against my side and he shifted and groaned and I shushed him quietly, stroking his hair. He wasn’t relaxed enough, the drugs from the hospital today didn’t really seem to be doing anything at all. As I stared at his face right now, at the pinched expression maring his forehead, I knew what he undoubtedly needed was Jason, his asshole father. Jason’s scent would instantly calm him down and take away all his fears, enigmas scents were very powerful from all that I’ve read after Rory left to go speak with Jason. However, the more I read, the more I felt myself wondering why I never got any kind of scent from Jason.

After ensuring that Niko was fully asleep, I laid him in the softness of his bed and quietly slipped out. My timer was already set, I’d be here to check back on him in ten minutes. I was walking down the hallway just as Rory arrived, looking exhausted and he fell into my arms once the distance between us got swallowed up. I massaged his shoulders as he buried his face in my neck and took in deep breaths.

"How did it go?" I asked but the groan he let out indicated that it hadn’t gone that good.

Shit.

Anna was currently napping, she was still feeling a little bit guilty and she blamed herself for what Niko is currently going through, but we’ve all managed to help her let go of most of the guilt. Rory and I were in our bedroom and Rory was pacing around which made me wonder how bad his meet up with Jason actually went. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"He wants me to accept him as my mate and forgive him for rejecting him." Rory suddenly blurted out and my eyes widened because that was the last thing I remember.

"Only because the enigma part of him is now dormant, as punishment for him rejecting me." He rushed to add but my frown morphed into confusion.

"The only reason we even talked about this was because I want him to help Niko out, and he can only do that after his enigma wakes up from its dormant state. Of course, I told him it couldn’t work, because you guys don’t get along at all, and because I still hate him, so there’s literally no way it could work. Of course, it would. I already made it known to him that he wasn’t to entertain stupid thoughts or get false hope because I can’t ever leave you no matter what and he understood and accepted it."

"I was wondering if it could work? Just for Niko?" He asked quietly and I still felt confused but at least now I’ve gotten most of the gist.

"You want to get together with Jason?" I asked quietly and Rory looked extremely appalled at the question.

"What? Of course not! Why would I... I don’t want that. I just want him to get his wolf back so he can help Niko out, and the only way his enigma can return is if I accept to forgive him and all of that. And this is the only way, which is why I’m bothering discussing this with you. Normally, I’d have hastily discarded the suggestion." He explained and I could tell that he was being honest right now.

I got off the bed and closed the distance between us before taking his hand in mine.

"I still feel confused, but I get most of the gist. Since this is just for Niko, then I guess I don’t mind. He won’t be taking you away from me or any of that, right?" The last part of that sentence was from that part of me that was always possessive of Rory no matter what.

"Of course not! He won’t even be getting close to me or anything like that. I think what I only need to do is to get my wolf to not hate him any longer and to grow to trust him, Witt some scenting here and there, then perhaps after that, maybe I’d have to bite him or him bring me, I’m not sure of this last part, but this is basically it, and of course you’d always be present no matter what if we’re to do this. Are you okay with it?" His voice was quiet at the last part of his sentence, his eyes searching mine.

I blinked once. Was I okay with this?

In all honesty, I wasn’t.

I was happy that at least now there’s a way for Niko to be 100% we’ll once again after Jason’s enigma wakes up.

However, I felt a weird, low feeling in my stomach at the thought of having Jason in our proximity– in my proximity. He made me feel weird, made me feel things without my own consent. In all my past relationships with alphas, I always had to convince my wolf to trust them enough to not attack them. But with Jason, it was like my wolf had just decided that Jason was superior to it and he was gonna submit to Jason at all times. Submission was something I’ve had to give out, and not something that gets taken out of my hands. It made me feel weird and not in control of a particular situation whenever Jason so much as shorten the distance between us.

If we were gonna do this, I’d made sure Jason stays far away from me at all times. I’d also keep a close eye on him at all times so he doesn’t get the wrong idea about all of this. I was only agreeing to this because of Niko, and so was Rory.

"Yeah, I am."

Rory let out a long relieved sigh and it was clear that my approval of this suggestion meant a lot to him. It pleased me that he wasn’t jumping into this because of his son and was willing to pull out of the plan if I wasn’t on board with it. But of course I wasn’t that cruel, Niko was my no.1 priority in all of this at the end of the day.

However, this means we and Jason were gonna be seeing a lot of each other in the coming weeks.

Great. Just great.
