Chasing His Rejected Luna 108
JADE Antonio looked like he just walked out of a dream in a tailor-made designer suit, his hair brushed back, with so strand out of place, and a smile showing off his perfect teeth. I got up from the couch, my eyes narrowing as he stepped into my living room. I couldn’t even turn to look around the place and see what the hell is to of place. Because right now, looking between the both of us. He is everything that is in place and I’m the opposite of it. No need to check. “Hi, I’m sorry to barge inline this.” He clears his throat. I couldn’t do anything but stare at him with mu jack slackened. “Ray told me you were in here and I needed to see you.” See me? Why? I didn’t know I said that out loud until he cleared his throat again. And dare i say, he looked nervous? I’m equally surprised. “I’m sure you’ve seen the articles. I just wanted to clear that up.” “Oh,” was al I could mutter. He motioned to the couch and I nodded, quickly moving my bowl of popcorn and the blanket I’d br

ATLASAndrew was staring at me with caution. Like I was some kind of wild animal he didn’t neat to get too close to.It is probably good that he was staying away because he was pissing me off. and I couldn’t guarantee not acting like an untamed beats if became within arm’s reach of me.We were discussing some fucking treaty I wasn’t paying attention to. Those words I read earlier this morning kept repeating themselves in my head like a fucking breaking record. And I couldn’t get them out.If I closed my eyes. I’ll see the image of Jade, smiling up at that fucking pretty boy like he hung the fucking moon.He looked like he spent all his time on a makeup chair rather than doing alpha shit.Or maybe, I just fucking hated the guy. Which was also true.Apparently, breaking my phone did not mean what I saw was’t there. Though I did pray to be hallucinating or for this to be some kind of bad news. None so far. It was fucking real."I think I’ll leave you to it.” Andrew said with a defeated s

JADE I had never considered how hard wearing makeup, dressing up and getting your hair done was. I have been attending social events for the past week and I can tell you one thing right now. It is exhausting as hell. And this is coming from someone who used to train every single day. Tonight, we’re attending an event for one of dad’s business partners and also an alpha. He is art of the council so he is an important figure and I had to make the best impression. I’m cute sure I’ve met him before being the luna and all. But like I said, I never really paid attention to those things then. A lot of people wanted to meet me. Apparently, dad’s pack was like one of the biggest and the most influential. And it was a big deal that I was here. I couldn’t understand why. Last night as we were about leave, he’d asked me to turn the face of my locket. So the blood rhinestone was against my chest and the back was in the front. I couldn’t understood why but I had’t argued. I mean, the who

ATLASI’ve fully gone back to work and Andrew has taken it upon himself to uncover whatever secret Ford might be hiding.It seemed too strange for him to want to come and clean his daughter. After what, almost twenty five years?He had the resources to find her and he could have if he wanted to. Much sooner than this.I knew how much power he had. I’d felt it. It wasn’t even fucking hard to read about it. So, if he wanted to find his daughter from an affair he hd years ago. He could have.He had the money, the time and the recourses. And it is not like Jade wasn’t registered. Dad made sure she got everything legally done and was put into the system when they moved here. So a simple medical search would have brought up anyone who had his DNA search.Either there really was something odd about his timing. Or I’m reaching so hard and unable to accept the truth.Well, at least I’m honest to accept that the two option could be true.I’m salty and pissed that he is trying to get Jade to be

ATLAS Was trying to pick between heading to look for Brandon or going straight to the party. The look I’ll see on Jade’s face kept prompting me to go with the latter.Brandon will be here whenever I get back. It is not like he has much to do, besides sit and hate me. So, he can wait.I didn’t want to go with Damien, to be completely honest. But he is the one person that knows the location. I guess I just have to swallow my pride and hide my hatred for him.He wanted to get into the driver’s seat but I shook my head.“No way,”“I’m not going to fucking kill you. And I’m the one who knows the way.” He argued but I wasn’t having it.I’m not stupid enough to get into a car with my enemy behind the wheels. He may not look it but Damien is crazy as hell. And he wouldn’t mind crashing the car and almost killing himself, if it means, he would hurt me.He grumbles but steps out of car and moved to get into the passenger seat. I was even more paranoid, seeing how easily he gave in.He was up t
Chasing His Rejected Luna 113
JADEMy attention since I got here has been very sharp. I could feel when someone was looking at me, I paid more attention to people and I could never be caught in an unexpected situation or while making a face. So I was especially very aware of the picture taking pictures of me.There was no way I would have missed when he entered the hall. The fact that he didn’t even bother tying to hide the fact that he was staring at me made it worse.Damn it. The last thing I wanted was more people on my neck about who I was with. It sucked that I couldn’t well scream to the world that I hated all men. That would start a scandal I didn’t want to deal with. I had to force myself to hold that urge down.A lot of people were looking for the littlest things that would make them dig into my life. I’ve seen their comments on social media and it was surprising how entitled people felt to know about my life.Apparently, privacy is a foreign concept to them. They want to know what I’m doing. Who I’m with

ATLASI watched the sunrise, failing to see the beauty hope always spoke of. I couldn’t feel the hope nor the positivity that they said followed a brand new day.Isn’t that what they always said to us? Go to bed. You’ll feel better in the morning.Well, I waited till morning and I still felt like shit.Or maybe, it was because I was’t technically in a bed. I’d stayed all night in the cramped hospital chair. And it was uncomfortable as fuck. To say the least.I wish I could say my bitter mood had to do with the fact that I lost my child.I really wish I could say it was that. But deep down, I knew the damned pictures I saw when I went through one of those gossip pages was the real reason I was so pissed.And yes, I’ve become obsessed with them. Checking them every second of everyday to see if they posted a new update on Jade. And they almost always have something new to report.Jade was the dictionary definition of booked and busy. She had events to attend. Places to go and people to m

JADEEverything that happened last night, mostly Damien’s presence ad him mentioning Atlas, ruined the entire evening for me.I understood the whole, ‘don’t let anyone get in the way of your peace’ thing but it was still annoying as hell.Dad, being amazing as he was, noticed how I was’t really in the mood to socialise and he asked if I wanted to leave early. I took the invitation so fast that he laughed. He said the necessary goodbyes and then we were on our way.He didn’t ask why I was acting that way he’d only pecked me on the forehead goodnight when he went up with me to my apartment. Then he said he hopes I will feel better in the morning.Could I really ask for abetter dad? He was understanding and loving and very attentive. I was almost in my mid twenties but I couldn’t help the childlike giddiness that always fills me when he is near.It reminded me of the excitement children felt when they saw their father at home. Or they heard the doorbells which usually meant he was back f

ATLAS“Atlas, lets go.” Feyre touched my arm lightly. I collected the bag from her. “Thank you. For your help. I'll never forget it.”I grabbed Feyre's hand and walked out of the room. Thankfully, there was no one outside and we tried not to make it look obvious that we were running away. “Keep your head down and just walk fast.”The car wasn't a far distance from the house. “What do you think is going on?” If I said I had any idea, it would be a lie. “I don't know.” I turned the engine. “But first we need to get out of here.” As soon as we're gone, then we can think of what the girl said. “Who’s Anika?” I asked Feyre. I thought she didn't hear me so I didn't repeat myself. When she blinked, I was very sure that she had heard me but refused to answer. So I let it go. Hopefully, by the time we get home, Jade will be awake and I'd be able to ask her what the hell is going on because I didn't understand why the young girl would be telling me that her mother was alive when all
Chasing His Rejected Luna 302
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.

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
