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

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,

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

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
Last Updated : 2024-05-10Chasing 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

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
Last Updated : 2024-05-11Chasing 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
Last Updated : 2024-05-11Chasing 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

JADE“i needed to come see him.”“Why?” He collected the baby from me “I told you that there's no need to. Why do you feel the need to come here even after I told you not to?!”“Because it's not just your victory! It's not just your life that he was after! It's mine too! And it's Ray's too! So yes, I needed to come down here to get closure.”He needed to understand that this meant something to me too, just as it did him.“Closure? Is that why you put the baby at risk? How much more closure do you need?”What on earth was he talking about?“Risk? Incase you didn't notice, I was there with him! I was at risk too! I needed him to look me in the eye and tell me why he did what he did to my family.”“Or maybe it's because you're too hung up on the past and you just can't let go. Incase you havent noticed, you're so stuck in the past and you are obsessing over it. Move on!”Well, I'm glad he finally got to say what he wanted to. Now I know how he feels about me trying to find answers. I w

JADEI didn't think it was worth it at first. Going to see the man that had made me grow up without parents and without the concept of what a true family felt like.But after much thought, he needed to know that all his plans failed and I was going to rub it in his face..I'd gotten all three pieces of the stone together and wore it around my locket.It would hurt him so bad to see that in the end, I won.Iniko decided that that was the right moment to start crying and everytime I dropped him back in his cot, he cried even louder.“Young man, what is it that you want? You've been fed and burped and I just changed your diaper so there's no way you could have soiled it again -”I stopped and remembered what happened yesterday so I took a peak for myself. There was nothing im his diaper.“So what exactly do you want?”I wish babies could talk.I guess I didn't have any other choice than to take him with me then. Atlas would blow a fuse if he found out that I took his son to see Ford.Whe

ATLAS“By wasting any more time, we are not doing ourselves any good! Sixth Circle pack is vacant. We have their leader in our custody and I've taken down every opposition in our way, do you think it would be long before we get more interests?”Sometimes, having a cabinet infuriates me so much. It was like I was speaking to brick walls. I didn't see any reason why they couldn't just agree to me taking over the Sixth Circle.It would even be better for us because it would improve our army base, it would make our pack bigger and in general, it would be a plus for us.But they weren't seeing it that way. All they were seeing was the fact that Ford had committed something against the pack and they weren't going to take it.I mean, what better way to teach him a lesson by taking over his pack?“Alpha, we're not disputing the fact that you've gone a long way-”“But you're diminishing my efforts. What's the whole point of defeating him and taking him into custody when I can't even go ahead a

JADERay and I weren't speaking for now.How could she hide something like that from me?“Where is she?”“I have no idea. All I know is that she ran away when we were little. She knew that he would come after her and she didn't want to put you in danger. So she ran away and left your nanny to take care of you. I don't know where she is.”How could she do this?“Before I lost my memory, did I know?”“No, you never knew.”I couldn't believe this. I lost my appetite for the rest of that day and I just stayed in Iniko's room because I couldn't even speak to anyone right now.I'd spent my life thinking my mother was dead only to hear that she was alive and she ran away because of that beast.“It’s not her fault, you know. Your mother ran away to protect you and Ray didn't tell you because she wanted to keep you safe. You have to forgive her.”I didn't blame her. It wasn't her fault things turned out like this. I was just hurt that I didn't know.Later that day, I took Iniko on a walk so h

JADEI was just realizing that this baby has Atlas's eyes and hair and everything!“This baby is rigged.”He turned around in shock.“What are you talking about?”“You did something to make the baby look like you.”He laughed and shook his head.“No, I didn't. It's just a coincidence.”“Coincidence? Look at this baby and look at you. It seems like I didn't even have anything to do with his birth.”“Don’t worry, you can have the second baby.”I scoffed.“You think I'm going to let you have another chance to have photocopies? Big joke.”Iniko was so small and he seemed so fragile.Ray brought my food and she took him while I ate.“I wish my grandmother was here to see him.”She gave me a sad smile.“Me too. She would be so proud of you.I'm proud of you.”I'm so happy my sister was here with me. She was the one who had been by my side throughout and if the child had been a girl, I would have named her after Raya.“Thank you for everything you did. If not for you, I don't know how I would

JADE“I'm going to need your blood as well. Atlas, I promise it won't hurt her. Just a little nick.”He nodded and she dragged the knife across my finger.“Place your finger over the stone and let the blood cover it entirely. Do not take your hand away from the fire.”It was a simple instruction but it seemed so intense.It was almost over. My legs were beginning to feel well and it was getting harder to quiet my screams.“What do we have here?”That voice. He was here.“What are you doing here?”All I had to do was keep my hand over the fire until the stone bled.Ray helped me stand up straight while Atlas and Andrew faced my uncle.“So this was why I came here. How did you do that? How did you call the other stones?”I eventually removed my hand from the fire since we had found them.“I always knew it was with one of you. That stupid old hag told me she couldn't find the other piece but I guess she gave it to you. “Why were all the worst things happening tonight?I was in labor and

JADEAtlas returned later that evening.I was right with what I'd thought.“What have you been up to?”I knew he knew I'd been eating because of the smirk on his face.“You know you don't have to hide from me when you eat right?”Oh, I did.“If you see how much I eat and the way I eat, I don't think you'd want to be married to me anymore.”He burst out laughing.“What makes you think I care about the way you eat? As long as you're healthy and our baby is fine, I don't care.”“But then, what if I get fat? I'll be so big that I won't be able to eat. I don't know why I eat so much.”This was actually a worry of mine. Normally, I ate but my appetite was not this big.“Blame it on the baby. I figure when you give birth, the cravings will stop and even though you do get fat, you're still my wife. It doesn't change anything.”I was really married to the best man ever, wasn't I?“You’re the best.”“I know. Ray says that we have to get there before midnight so that she can prepare everything.

JADEAt this point, I was realizing that the earlier we did things, the better.“I’ll arrange for the sacrifice to happen tomorrow. We need to move as fast as we can before he gets Intel that were here.”I didn't want to have to run with this big belly of mine.“What are you going to need?”“Don’t worry, I'll take care of it. Just bring the stone.”We went to bed that night because we were all completely exhausted.“Hey, are you okay?” Atlas asked when we were in bed.“Yes, I am. Why do you ask?”“You didn't cry when you found out that he killed your father. You didn't cry when you found out that she was not your grandmother. I'm worried.”Now that I think about it, it's true. But it was because I didn't feel like crying.“I don't know. Maybe my body just hasn't proceses it yet. Maybe its because I hate him so I'm not bothered that he's not my father and I never really knew my father so i can't cry for him. I've already mourned for my grandmother.”I just didn't feel the need to cry b

JADE“Jade, step away from that.”I walked back towards them and stared at the pile.“What kind of animal would do this?”I had no idea but I think I was beginning to understand why she wanted us to find this place.This place held secrets.I went back to the wall to look at the drawings and try to understand them.I used my fingers to trace them again and this time around, I heard the voice clearer.“Look at the bigger picture.”I stepped away from the wall so I could see the entire thing. There were more drawings to the side and when I walked up, I noticed that there was a sign at the bottom of it.That sign…looked all too familiar but I couldn't just place my finger.“Ray, come see this. I've seen this before but I don't know where it's from.”She crouched beside me and stared at it for a moment.“I know it's familiar but I don't know where it's from, either.”Andrew and Atlas joined us and just within seconds, they knew.“We know.”They shared a look and it made me scared.“Jade,
