Rejecting the Omega
CHAPTER 9

CLARE’S POV

I couldn’t wait to get my hair done, we literally ran to the other side of the mall to the salon. At the front desk was a girl about our age, her hair was cut and colored to perfection. It was naturally blonde with blue, purple, and green tips.

“Welcome to Wolf Hairs Salon, how may I help you Luna and Miss Kenna,” The girl asked me.

“We want our hair done, um, I’m not sure exactly what I want but something pretty.”

“Well, Luna you can go to seat 6, Marcello can help you with your hair; and you Miss Kenna?”

“I want highlights, the colors like yours except instead of green can I have a red and orangish color.”

“I think Luciana from seat 7 can get you those colors.”

KENNA’S POV

“Hey what’s up with the ‘Miss Kenna’ thing?” Clare asked me.

“Didn’t your old pack have more than one alpha heir?”

“No”

“Well, in many packs when there’s more than one alpha heir the pack calls them by ‘Miss’ or ‘Mister’. Like Mason is my older brother and next in line for alpha; after him is me and our 2 younger siblings, Kylie and Marcus; so while Mason is called alpha, we are known as miss and mister. Except for the Beta family and the 3rd in Command family, they don’t call miss of mister. Thank the Moon Goddess.”

Clare was taking it all in well and I think she understood it all but I wasn’t exactly sure.

“Oh, I get it, does the Beta and 3rd in Command family get any extra respect?”

So she did understand it, good I was hoping I wouldn’t need to tell her again.

“Well the Beta and 3rd in Command family both are born branded with the mark on their necks.”

CLARE’S POV

“I never got a branding,” I told her, more sounding like a question.

“That’s because you were born to be a Luna, if your from a Beta or 3rd in Command family and your born to be a Luna then you wouldn’t get a branding.”

“Ok darling done with the dye, we gotta wash your hair now,” Marcello said to me in his British accent.

“You too, sweets.” Luciana told to Kenna.

Kenna checked her phone and frowned at it then looked up at me.

“We have 20 minutes to get back home,” she said still frowning, “How long will it take to wash and cut her hair?”

“I can have it done in 20 minutes,” Marcello said.

“How long would it take to do my nails at the same time and my eyebrows?”

“About 25.”

“Kenna let me use your phone to call Mason.”

~5 MINUTES LATER~

“I can’t believe you actually got him to give us 20 more minutes!”

“Yeah but, on the way home I have to start packing up my clothes.”

“Either way I’ve never been able to get him to do that for me,” Kenna said with excitement.

“Well I am his mate.”

“I’m done with your hair, my darling. Come look,” Marcello told me, “now sit let me do your eyebrows, my darling.”

“CLARE, CLARE! Look at my hair isn’t it cute!” Kenna squealed excitedly.

“Stop yelling, your hair looks amazing.”

“I’m done with your eyebrows darling and Karli is done with your nails. All you have to do is let them dry,” Marcello told me.

“Well we have to leave in about 6 minutes so that’s how long you have to let them dry,” Kenna said.

JOSEPH’S POV (BASTARD EX-MATE)

“Any matches?”

“Nah,” Trey answered.

“I need to replace my mate,” I growled.

“You rejected her, I need to replace my sister,” Lucas growled back.

“Any word from Clayton?”

“Nah, he’s still out looking for his twin.”

“Can you call other packs and ask for acceptance of a Beta family member into their territory?”

“On it, Alpha Joseph,” Lucas said.

LUCAS’S POV

“Hello, this is Beta Lucas Jackson of the Blue Moon Pack. Who am I speaking to from the Dark Lupus Moon Pack?”

“This is Beta Lyson -” I heard rustling.

“And Beta Jyson”

“Give me back the phone Jyson-”

“No I want to talk-”

“You talk next time-”

“I want to talk this time-”

“No-”

“Yes-”

“No-”

“Yes-”

“Yes-”

“No-”

Ha, I win! You Lose!”

“Yes, this is Beta Lyson speaking. How may I help you?”

“Well Beta Lyson my brother, Clayton, is traveling to each pack to look for our sister. I was wondering if he could have admittance to your territory while on his travels.”

“And what is the name of the sister who your brother is looking for,” Beta Lyson asked me.

“Clare, she is his twin.”

“Well I am pretty sure that my pack would have noticed a rogue on our territory. Was she kidnapped or did she run away?”

CLARE’S POV

I walked into my new brothers office to say bye when I heard his voice, Lucas’ voice.

They just started the phone call from the looks and sounds of it, especially from how the boys were arguing over who was going to talk to Lucas on the phone.

When I walked in they looked at me and I motioned towards Lyson to speak.

“Ha, I Win! You Lose,” Lyson yelled.

“Yes this is Beta Lyson speaking. How may I help you?”

“Well Beta Lyson my brother, Clayton, is traveling to each pack to look for our sister. I was wondering if he could have admittance to your territory while on his travels.”

“And what is the name of the sister who your brother is looking for,” Lyson told Lucas.

“Clare, she is his twin.”

I didn’t know how to feel about Clayton looking for me. Clayton never cared about me when I was there so why is he lying? Why would Clayton come looking for me?

“Well I am pretty sure that my pack would have noticed a rogue on our territory. Was she kidnapped or did she run away?”

I wrote that down for Lyson to say.

“Clare ran away,” Lucas says.

“Why?”

“Why?”

“She went through a lot of abuse by the entire pack and was rejected by her mate.”

“Huh”

“Yeah he can have access to the territory.”

“Yes, he can have access to the territory,” Lyson told Lucas.

“Thank you Beta Lyson, have a good day.”

“Goodbye”

Finally Lyson hung up the phone and I was able to take a much needed deep breath. I was so near to crying.

“How are you baby sis,” Jyson asked me.

“I’m ok actually. What I came to do was say bye, since yah know we’re leaving soon.”

“Baby sis, why do you think the parents are taking over? We’re coming with you, I’m not leaving my sister alone to replace her second mate.”

“Yay, I’m gonna have my new big brothers with me when I replace my second mate!”

The boys hugged me and I hugged them back; we all jumped apart when the door opened though.

“Did I miss a big moment,” Mason asked me coming in through the door.

“Yup, my oldest brother, Lucas, called looking for me and asking if my twin brother, Clayton, could have acceptance to the territory,” I told Mase.

“Well, tell me all about it in the car; we gotta get on the road,” Mase said.

“I’m riding my bike,” I told him.

“We’ll drive your car,” the twins said loudly.

“Guess I’m riding my bike,” Mase said.

“Ooh, I’ll drive your Audi 8 for you and we can hook up a trailer to the back for mine and Lyson’s motorcycles,” Jyson said.

“Cool, since everything’s figured out we can leave now right,” Mason asked.

“First I have to change then -- Let’s go replace my other mate!”
