Claiming The Rejected Omega

Janet smiled warmly at Jason as she entered his office, and he couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat. “Hey, love,” she said as she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

“Hey, yourself,” Jason replied, feeling a surge of affection for the woman he loved. “How’s your day going?”

“It’s going well,” Janet said, taking a seat across from him. “Just busy as usual. How about you?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I’m hanging in there,” Jason replied with a smile. “Just trying to keep up with all the paperwork around here.”

As they chatted, Aiden walked in, looking serious. “Hey, guys. Can I talk to you for a minute?”

Janet immediately got up, thinking that Aiden might want to talk to Jason alone. But Aiden held up a hand. “Actually, Janet, I was hoping you could stay. I think your perspective would be helpful.”

Janet nodded and took a seat again, and Aiden got straight to the point. “I’ve decided that I want to make things official with Chloe. I want to ask her to be my girlfriend.”

Jason chuckled at this, unable to resist teasing his friend. “Why stop at girlfriend when she’s clearly your Erathia? Why not just ask her to be your wife?”

Aiden shook his head, looking slightly embarrassed. “I don’t want to push it too much, considering everything that’s happened with Liam.”

Janet smiled sympathetically. “I understand where you’re coming from, Aiden. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with taking things slow and just being boyfriend and girlfriend for a while.”

Aiden nodded, looking relieved. “Thanks, Janet. I just wanted to get your perspective on things.”

Jason leaned back in his chair, looking thoughtful. “I have to say, though, I’m a little surprised you’re going the traditional route, Aiden. I always thought you were more of a wild card, more likely to sweep a girl off her feet with some grand romantic gesture.”

Aiden laughed. “Yeah, I guess I am a bit of a romantic at heart. But I think this is the right way to go with Chloe. She deserves to have someone who respects her and takes things slow.”

Janet smiled at Aiden, feeling a sense of pride for her friend. “I think you’re doing the right thing, Aiden. And I’m sure Chloe will appreciate it.”

Then when Janet leaves Jason asks Aiden if he is doing this just so he would know he has something that connects him and Chloe together. Then Aiden answered, honestly, he didn’t want to but when he saw Liam and Chloe, he couldn’t help but feel this way about them, like one day Chloe would go back to Liam, she once liked him but only fell back to Aiden when Liam started treating her wrongly, then what if now that Liam is all good or acting all good, she would go back to him.

Jason leaned back in his chair, a thoughtful expression on his face. “I see what you mean. But you can’t live your life always wondering ‘what if.’ Sometimes you just have to take a chance and hope for the best.”

Aiden nodded. “I know. And I do want to be with Chloe. But I also don’t want to push her too hard or scare her away.”

“Well, you could always ask her out on a casual date,” Jason suggested. “Something low-key, like getting coffee or going for a walk. That way you can spend some time together without any pressure.”

Aiden considered this. “That’s not a bad idea. Maybe I’ll try that.”

Jason smiled. “And who knows? Maybe you’ll realize that you don’t need to worry about Liam at all. Maybe you and Chloe are meant to be.”

Aiden grinned. “I like the sound of that. Thanks, man.”

Jason leaned back in his chair and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “Aiden, , you’re playing a dangerous game,” he said, his voice low and serious. “You can’t base your relationship with Chloe on the fear that she might go back to Liam. If that’s the case, then you don’t really have a relationship at all.”

Aiden looked down, his expression crestfallen. “I know,” he admitted. “I just can’t help the way I feel. I care about Chloe so much, and I don’t want to lose her.”

Jason nodded sympathetically. “I understand, Aiden. But you have to trust Chloe. Trust that she knows what’s best for her, and that if she chooses Liam, it’s because that’s where her heart truly lies.”

Aiden sighed and looked up at Jason. “But what if Liam messes up again? What if he hurts her like he did before?”

Jason shook his head. “That’s not for you to worry about, Aiden. Chloe is a grown woman, and she can make her own decisions. All you can do is be there for her, and support her, no matter what.”

Aiden looked thoughtful for a moment, then nodded. “You’re right, Jason. I need to trust Chloe and have faith in our relationship. And if it’s meant to be, it will be.”

Jason smiled and patted Aiden on the back. “That’s the spirit. Now go out there and show Chloe how much you care about her. And remember, if you need any advice or guidance, I’m here for you.”

Aiden smiled and nodded, then left the office. As he walked down the hallway, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of hope and optimism. He knew that his relationship with Chloe wouldn’t be easy, but he was willing to do whatever it takes to make it work. And with Jason by his side, he felt like anything was possible.

As Aiden left the office, Jason couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy. He had always been attracted to Chloe, but he had never acted on his feelings. Now it seemed like Aiden was going to make a move, and Jason didn’t know how he felt about that.

He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts. This was silly. He had no claim on Chloe, and he couldn’t begrudge Aiden for trying to win her over.
