Chasing His Rejected Luna 11: Decisions
ATLASAnnie had roped me into coming for her latest checkup. She kept complaining about… everything. And I’m getting sick of it.But I guess it came with being pregnant.‘Oh please, don’t act like she hasn’t always been a bitch.’ I recognised the voice of my wolf, Kian.He never truly was a fan of hers. He never liked the way I treated Jade either. She was his true mate and he wanted to get to know her wolf and have many pups. That obviously wasn’t going to happen seeing as he had to go through me to do that.And just the thought of touching her had always left me feeling a strange way.“Do you see that?” Annie squealed, squeezing my hands so tight. If I was a mere human, it would have dislocated.I pulled my hand away from her and nodded at the grainy image on the screen. I couldn't understand jack shit I was seeing but she seemed happy enough so I faked a smile.“Yeah, that’s lovely.”“I know.” She agreed, her eyes glowing with happiness at whatever she was seeing. “Can we know the
Chasing His Rejected Luna 12: Working Late
JADEI’ve been working at Harrison and Garrett for a week now. And I have to admit. I love office work. More than I thought I would.I’ve always been a field worker, being a warrior and all. But dressing up in corporate and coming into the office has been great.Thanks to Brandon and how close he was with the owner, I was able to get a position as an assistant. Even without going to college. I was super grateful for the opportunity.I have always been kind of an overachiever. So I always made sure to do everything I was supposed to on time. I didn’t want to give my boss any reason to complain. Though, he was a nice man in his fifties. He was the director for this branch.His meeting ran late today so I had to stay longer than usual. He was going on a trip with his secretary. and we needed to get everything else settled and make sure he doesn’t fall back on work.Instead of coming in earlier tomorrow. I just decided to stay and send out all the emails I was supposed to.His secretary,
Chasing His Rejected Luna 13: Altercation
JADEMr. Harrison, who insisted I just call him by his first name, Ford, actually sat with us until we closed. And though I thanked him when he offered me a ride, he stayed back while I waited for my uber. While we waited, we spoke about everything and nothing.I have never felt so comfortable in the company of a stranger the way I did with him. It was like I knew him from somewhere. But I’m sure I’ve never seen his face before. I’m good with faces. If I had met him, I wouldn’t have forgotten it.I got the notification that my uber had arrived so I got up and told him. We walked out of the building and I could see the car parked in the parking lot. Before we could get to it, I noticed a figure barreling towards us.At first, I was confused, thinking maybe James had forgotten something. But the moment he came close, my blood ran cold.And not just because Atlas looked livid. My first thought was, he has found me.I didn’t even want to think of how. Clearly, if he wanted to do something
Chasing His Rejected Luna 14: Intruder
JADEMy hands were still trembling even when I got back home. I couldn’t believe that just happened.I didn’t go home straight because I was sure Atlas was going to follow me. I would rather not have another altercation with him tonight.I didn’t know what to feel. How to feel.While one part of me, the one that has been pining for an ounce of his affection, was over the moon.In all the years I've done everything to get him to look at me like I was a human being and not just some part of the furniture. It has never worked. But his full attention was on me today. Heck, he even pleaded with me.The more stubborn side of me was not in the least impressed by his act.I took off my clothes and headed to the shower I’m mediately. That was the only way I would be able to clear my head.I came out with a towel wrapped around me and one in my hair. Just as I sat on the bed, a strong wave of fatigue washed over me and all I wanted to do was lay down and close my eyes.My mind was running with
Chasing His Rejected Luna 15: Morning After
JADEI shut down all of Atlas’s attempts to have a conversation. It wasn’t easy because he was very adamant when drunk.It’s a trait I’m just learning about him. Since I have never seen him drunk in the four years we’ve been married. And before that. He was pretty much distant.He managed to walk to the spare bedroom, which I was grateful the house had. I wouldn’t have known what to do with him. He was obviously not in the right frame of mind to drive. And I may be pissed but I didn’t want him to die.His finger trails a path up my arm when I tried to pull the covers over him. It made me shiver and jump back a bit.Atlas’s eyes were starting to close but he managed to pop one open and the dark look there made my breath hitch. He releases me and closes his eyes. Then I hear him say softly. So low that if I wasn’t a werewolf I would have missed it.“You always take good care of me. Even when I don’t deserve it.”I left the room after turning off all the lights. I didn’t want to think mu
Chasing His Rejected Luna 16: More
ATLASI shouldn’t have asked. I knew I shouldn’t have asked. I didn’t want to know the answer to that.For the life of me, I couldn’t tell why that bothered me. My recent obsession with everything that has to do with her was surprising.I’d known her for years before we got married. I never really paid much attention to her except on the training ground. And that too, because she was one of the best fighters I’ve ever seen.It was one of the reasons I was taken aback when I found out she was my mate. It just didn’t make much sense.She wasn’t exactly my type. And I was in love with Annie.Was? I shook my head. Not even wanting to think of that question.After I left Ford standing there with amusement dancing in his eyes. I attempted to follow the uber but it was already too late.“Give her space, son. This isn’t going to work out.” I glared at the man.He was on my shit list. Forget that we were business partners. I didn’t care and I would cut any ties with him if I found out he so mu
Chasing His Rejected Luna 17: First Kiss
JADEThe feel of his lips on mine lingered. Long after he was gone. I still felt his hands on my body.Atlas kissed me. Atlas kissed me.Atlas kissed me!It didn’t matter how many times I said it or how I said it. It didn't feel real. It wasn’t real.I told myself it was all just a crazy dream and I just needed to wake up. So after he left, leaving me with shaky legs. I crawled back into my bed and willed myself to sleep the rest of the day.I was glad my boss was on a trip, and Mr. Harrison said I should take the day off. He probably didn’t want Atlas to show up again.Ironic, seeing as he was here.Instead of the nothingness I craved. I ended up having an explicit dream about Atlas.I woke up drenched in sweat with a pulse beating between my thighs. I took a cold shower because my skin felt too hot and got dressed in my coziest outfit. Then I sat and obsessed over what happened. Still not wanting to believe it had actually happened.Atlas has never kissed me. Since the peck he gave
Chasing His Rejected Luna 18: Party Invite
JADEI haven’t seen Atlas since he came here drunk. And while Andrew has been visiting consistently since the day we went out to dinner. I haven’t grown the balls to ask about him. Although the curiosity was eating at me.I’m back at work, although my boss is still not back. Mr. Harrison asked if I could work for him as his assistant before he settled in and hired his own staff. He only had his secretary for one. I didn’t want to say yes but after recalling what Atlas had done, I couldn’t refuse so I just agreed.My other boss was amazing and he was really nice and unproblematic. But working with Mr. Harrison was much better. I saw the way he treated his secretary, who was about my age, like his daughter. He treated me the same way too. I had to say it is one of the best things that have happened to me all year.I was sorting through his emails when I heard a knock on the door. Did I mention I also have my own office. Since they worked on a bigger scale than my former boss. There were

ATLASThe girl looked at me like she didn't just scare the life out of me. I put the knife back in its sheath and looked around to make sure that no one was behind her and using her as bait. I heard Feyre's voice behind me. “Who is it?”I raised a hand to silence her, not talking my eyes off the girl. “Who are you and what do you want?” She didn't say anything and stared at me with a blank face. Letting my guard down, I opened the door a little more to let Feyre see who it was. She looked into the room and made contact with Feyre. Without answering me, she pushed into the room and I just watched her and then closed the door behind me. “What do you want?” I repeated. “You need to get out of here.” Her voice was quiet but we heard her. Feyre and I made eye contact, both sharing confusing looks. “What are you talking about? And who are you? You haven't answered my question.”My eyes swiftly moved to the door to see if I should be expecting any more surprises but it was clear.
Chasing His Rejected Luna 301
JADEI wàs hungry but then again, I couldn't exactly be bothered to eat anything. I was in pain, excruciating pain that I couldn't even get any sleep last night. The nurse had come in to give me something for the pain but it was like this baby wanted me to be in pain. Eventually, the pain went away and I just sat up on the bed, thinking about what the hell was going on. It felt like I passed out and all of a sudden, Atlas was in love with me, I couldn't find Annie hanging around him like a monkey from a banana tree and I was pregnant. Heavily pregnant and in pain. I needed answers and I needed them fast. I'd been asking for Andrew all day but I couldn't find him anywhere and then speaking of Atlas who could tell me where he was, I also couldn't find him. What was I expecting? That man that hated me with passion, how would he come in to check on me? I'm sure that he wouldn't care if I died. I was alone in this hospital room, with no clue what was going on. The door to my room
Chasing His Rejected Luna 300
ATLASI was staring out of the window with an unclear mind and a raging headache. I'd thought about so much that I was tired of even thinking. This whole situation was getting to me and the fact Jade didn't even remember what happened in the last few months was killing me. What the hell happened?I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see Zade behind me. “You look like you're a thousand miles away.” He brought me a glass of something and as I lifted it to my lips, I scrunched up my nose and pulled the glass away from me. “What the hell is that?”He had a smirk on his face.“Something that will wake you up and calm you down. You look like you haven't gotten any sleep in a while. You need to take it easy.”That was easy for him to say. It wasn't his wife and child who were at risk here. I felt like if I took a break, then it meant that I wasn't serious. Looking at the glass one more time and deciding that I could kill Zade if anything happened to me, I threw my head back and

JADEI knew I wasn’t alone in the room even before I fully woke up. So, when I open day eyes, I wasn’t surprised to find Atlas sitting on a chair beside the bed. My mood immediately plummeted.I really didn’t need him and his fairness right now. We both know he would much rather be with Annie than here. Why was he even here and how long has he been waiting? I’m sure he has work to do and watching me sleeps’t one of then.No, Jade. He is not your business anymore. He is having a child with the woman he loves and cheated on you with. This is the last time you’ll worry yourself with his affairs.I nodded to myself, agreeing with the voice in my head.“Jade.” He breathed my name out. He has never spoken to me like that, I couldn’t deny the butterflies that swarmed my stomach at hearing that. But I could pretend him speaking didn’t have any effect on me which is what I did.“Can you please leave?” I said, making sure my voice came out cold.I tried to sit up and a stiffness in my back remi

ATLASThis couldn’t be real. It couldn’t fucking be happening.I could feel my blood roaring in my ears, my body was shaking but then it all felt like it wasn’t even real. Like I was just imagining this and I really hoped this was a fucking nightmare.“Alpha,” I heard a hesitant voice. It pulled me from my train of thoughts and everything started becoming more real now.I didn’t know my mind had blanked out until she spoke and I was pulled out of my trace. I could hear the voices and all the commotions going on around me.The doctor was still standing above Jade. I didn’t know when my body had moved earlier when she was falling. But my body moved before my mind could register all that was happening.“Do you mind stepping out please, alpha?” The doctor spoke. When I gave her a look, she stepped back and cleared her throat. “You can stay if you want too.”She stepped back and then they started doing more tests.“You still can’t do the surgery now.” The healer spoke, looking to me to sup

JADEMy head was heavy when I first woke up. I looked around the place confused, wondering how I ended up here. The last thing I remembered was going to my grandma’s room and checking on her. Then…Oh no.The conversation played out in my head again.Atlas’s cool voice and Annie’s ecstatic own.“Look at that. Our baby.” She had said, her voice choking with tears. “He’ll be the most handsome baby with his father’s eyes.”“Well, we can’t tell the gender this early.” Another voice had said, it was a female, she sounded kind of familiar.One of the actors. I told myself. I couldn’t bring myself to move because the entire thing felt like a fever dream and I didn’t want to believe that it was really real. But it was.“Is she okay?” Atlas sounded worried. Concerned.I could see him looking at Annie with so much care. When he only looks at me with disdain.I couldn’t hear more, I ran in the opposite direction and neared the first door I saw. I ended up in the supply closet but I could barely

ATLASAs much as I wanted to rush through the process of dressing just so I could go back to where Jade was, I forced myself to do everything right. For her sake. I would not want my lack of prepping well because I couldn’t be patient cause harm to her or the baby.A nurse was waiting for me outside after I finished and she took me to the OR where I had to wash my hands again and then wear the full coverings.There were speaking in medical terms I didn’t understand. I just stood back with my hands in Jade’s own, never leaving her side just as I had promised. The doctor was kind enough to explain what they were going to do.“It is a simple procedure, alpha. Your wife and baby will be up and going in no time.” She said with a kind smile, the sides of her eyes crinkling.I nodded, exhaling a breath through my mouth.“Ten blade.” She had moved to Jade’s abdomen and I could feel my wolf moving in my head when I saw the blade she was talking about. His mind didn’t register that this was a p

ATLASThe reality that the baby was coming made by kind go blank for more than five minutes. It probably wasn’t up to that but it felt like my world had stopped so everything seemed longer than it is in reality. I was excited. Deep down below the worry and fear and everything in between. I couldn’t wait to meet my son. The baby that was half of me and half of Jade. But I wasn’t happy too. Because she wasn’t in the right state of mind right now. And I don’t know how she’ll be when she wakes up. She would be ecstatic. I knew she wanted to experience every part of this. But I guess you plan and then life happens. “We’ll have to get her to the hospital soon. So she isn’t under for too long. It might be bad for the baby and her.” Feyre stood close to me as she explained. Her voice was soft and eyes filled with worry. She hasn’t known Jade for a long time but she as already really protective of her.“Okay.” I swallowed as I said the words. Then gave Jade’s hand a little squeeze. Before

ATLASBefore the mob could get us, uniformed guards appeared from all angles and they intercepted. I now understood why Zade hadn’t looked worried in the first place. He knew this would be handled.“What is even going on?” I heard him mutter under his breath before he started walking towards the crowd. Looking as pissed off as I was.“Alpha, we have it under control.” The man at the front, who was probably a gamma spoke as soon as we got to them.“I know.” Zade replied. “Who is in charge of the society back at the hospital?”I was staring at the crowd, not sure what I was looking for but there was something that was compelling to search. Searching for Worthing you don’t know is fuck8ing stressful.“it is Gamma Alex, alpha. Should we call him?” Zade nodded then he turned to me.“Do you feel better now? We can go back inside?” There was a look in his eyes, he didn’t want to say the words but I immediately got a hunch. It had to do with Jade.“Is she okay? Did something happen?” I was alm
