The Loathed Omega
The Loathed Omega
Ratings4
Average rating2.8
Jackson Rockford is a walking cliché. He’s handsome and rich, with dark, brooding eyes and a jawline carved by the gods. As the beloved captain of Windsly Academy’s football team, every alpha wants to be him, and every omega wants to be with him.
Well, every omega except for me.
Since our first encounter, Jackson has haunted my days and stalked my nightmares. He says I repulse him and makes sure I pay for it. Every. Single. Day.
It’s too bad that our fathers don’t get the memo…
During our last spring break, I’m faced with an impossible choice. Marry Jackson or spend the rest of my life rotting away in a golden prison.
My fate is the same either way, so I hold my head high as I walk down the aisle as the loathed omega.
I brace myself for his revulsion. But when his hand touches mine, a fire ignites in our hearts, changing us forever.
I may belong to Jackson, but now he’s mine too.
And not everyone is happy about it.

Conflicted. On the one hand, this is a bully romance and the bully DOESN'T apologize but all is miraculously immediately forgiven because ~ 🥰fated mates🥰~. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
On the OTHER hand.... Jackson isn't a bad person. He makes amends. In a way. His entire EXISTENCE is devoted to making amends.
BUT I'm a coldhearted person and I'd rather amends not be required to begin with. Even the background reason for why Jackson bullied Eli is flimsy at best. He could have just avoided this omega🤷
This is why I prefer to avoid bully romance AND fated mates books. I don't know if bullying is ever justified or forgivable AND with fated mates, sometimes I can't be convinced that the two aren't just making the best of a bad situation.
I don't know if I loved or hated this book. I hated Eli's immediate forgiveness of Jackson, I'll tell you that much. Not even a little resentment?
If anything, I'd be MORE resentful if my bully of four years turned out to be my true mate, but that's just me. (it should be everyone though, because c'mon, how fucked up is that??)
There'd be a LOT of emotionally /sexually manipulative withholding of the goods, I'll tell you that much.
This is why the fated mates shtick felt like a way to gloss over the difficult conversations in this book. Because Jackson didn't have to work at his redemption because he was magically forgiven.
Alternatively, one could argue that it's more telling of his character that he worked so hard at it regardless.
But alas. I am not that 'one'.
