Rejected by the Beta, Claimed by the Alpha novel Chapter 11

Jason stiffened slightly at the question as everything began to unfold from the way pack members treated omegas. Over here, there was nothing like ranks. Everyone was treated by the way they carried themselves, and no one was destined to serve. It was only by choice. This was the main reason why he left the pack when the opportunity presented itself. Luckily, his mate was human too, so it all added up, and the only person he missed was his sister, Alice.

"No. Over here, I am a health worker, and I’m treated with respect, so why go back to a community where I am treated like nothing?"

Rowena had just shifted a week ago, so she was missing her wolf. She somehow wanted to see her again. It was her reason for asking the question. If her uncle would, then she could just use it as an opportunity to go there to shift before returning to Canada. “Mom said that things have changed, and omegas are now treated better,” Rowena said, hoping it would make a difference.

"But they are still the maids of the pack," Jason insisted grimly. To him, people’s destiny should not be determined by the families they were born into. Everyone should be given the chance to do what they want and choose what they are good at.

“You are right about that one,” Rowena could not help but agree.

“Are you planning to go back?” Jason asked her, looking slightly disappointed.

“No, not anymore,” Rowena said with certainty, which made him smile before he asked again, “Not even after chalking up the success of being a doctor?”

Rowena stared at her uncle dreamily, recalling how she was received at the airport. No one knew her, and no one gave her a disgusting look like she used to receive at the pack. It felt good to be treated with respect. “Even if I become a president in the human world, I will remain an omega in the pack.”

“But the more you stay out of the pack, the more you lose your wolf. You can never shift around here. I mean, you can but you shouldn’t. If there is even a slight indication that you are not human, they will begin to hunt you,” Jason said in a slightly warning tone.

Rowena pursed her lips. This was the most painful part of her decision. She could not even hear the voice of her wolf again. She heard it just once, the night after her shift in her room when her wolf, Row, asked about their mate as to whether or not they would be accepted. Rowena was nicknamed Row by those close to her, but who knew that her wolf would bear that name? It made it so special for her since most wolves never had names relating to their human ones. “I know, Uncle. I accept that staying in the human world, I can only be human.”

Jason seemed satisfied by her response. She needed to know what she was gaining and losing, and weigh her options before coming to a conclusion. “If you are able to find a husband, you will not have to return ever again,” he said, suggesting that she should be open-minded to move on from her past. He just hated how emotionally battered Rowena was before arriving in Canada, but Rowena seemed to have her own plans.

“Uncle, I don’t want to have a husband. I just want to be able to help the people who need it when I become a doctor.”

Jason smiled. He would always support her, no matter her decision. “That is a wonderful idea,” Jason hugged Rowena and spoke.

“Thank you very much, uncle,” Rowena said and hugged him back.

8 Years later

“Doctor Row, there is a new patient at the ER. She had a fractured bone through an accident,” a nurse informed Rowena, who had just finished attending to a patient. She instantly hastened to the ER with a group of nurses. There was a teenage girl screaming her lungs out by the time Rowena got there. She looked at the girl pitifully and said softly,

“Calm down, my name is Doctor Row. Can you explain the situation?” She was putting on her gloves when she asked and began instructing the nurses on a few things to do.
