Chasing His Rejected Luna 115
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

JADEI have nowhere today. I really couldn’t even explain how happy that made.Trust me, the glitz and glam life may look like a dream from a different POV. But it really ins’t all that when you’re living in it.Ray had taken it upon herself to take care of my calendar for me and send ‘thank you but I can’t come’ messages to people. I really don’t know what I would do without her even if I don’t explicitly say it to her face.We stayed in bed and just wasted the whole day away. I wish I could say my mind as free of thoughts but it kept going back to Atlas and Damien. What was he doing here? trying to defend Atlas of all people?I thought they hated each other. Well, I didn’t know that but the way they had covered the other day proved as much.All these thoughts were making me feel sick.“What are you thinking about?” Ray who was cuddled up to the demonic black cat asked me.Both their heads were turned towards me and he looked as inquisitive as she did. I swore he could understand and

JADEThis may not be my best elder sister moment but I was glad when Ray told me about the boy she was seeing. Because it distracted me from thoughts of my ex who isn’t really my ex and my ex friend who I thought was my friend. Not the easiest life.The most important thing I had to know was how old he was. If he had access to get her a pass, then he must be a few years older than her.He was only seventeen. Thankfully. But he was the son of one of dad’s enemies.“Well, not enemy per se but they really don’t like each other. And dad would refuse to attend an event if he heard the man was going.” She winced after saying the last word, like it hurt her just to say it out loud.I couldn’t close my mouth after hearing al of that. One part of me wanted to tease her and call her Romeo and Juliet. But something told me it wasn’t the right time. And that book ended in tragedy.“And you both have been seeing each other for how long?” I tipped my head the side, watching her as she spoke.“A few

JADEAfter telling myself I didn’t like him for the tenth time, I got the sense to offer him a seat. Which he took.I knew my apartment was big. Big as hell, but when he sat in just one of the couches, it was like the air in the room had been sucked in. He filled up the place and the chair. Not with his body but his preface. He had a powerful aura and I had a feeling, I would have submitted to him easily if it wasn’t because of something that was drawing me back.What that is, I couldn’t tell.“How was the party last night? I couldn’t make it.” I didn’t know what he came up to but I didn’t expect that.It took me a few seconds to think of a response. He was just trying to make conversation while I sat staring at him awkwardly.“Oh, it was okay.” I replied, forcing a kind welcoming smile.He made me nervous. And it was’t exactly in a bad way so I had no idea what to do with myself.“You looked breathtaking. I couldn’t believe I missed it.” He said with a chuckle.I couldn’t tell if he

ATLASAnnie go discharged a few hours ago and now we were at her house, getting her things so she would move into the pack house until she was fully recovered.Mum was helping her pick the rest of the stuff while I got out with the excuse of answering a work call. They just kept breaking down whenever they saw the baby’s things. I couldn’t stay there anymore. I had no idea how to comfort a crying woman. I was fucking clueless when it came to two of them.Andrew was sitting in the car, mindlessly scrolling through his phone when I went out to meet him. He drove my man here and I asked him to stay back, in case we needed an extra hand with her clothes. I know how Annie is.But to be honest, the main reason I wanted him to stay back was because I didn’t want to be alone. He knew that too so he didn’t complain.I opened the passenger door and slid in, he barely looked up from his phone to acknowledge me. We haven’t spoken since he got here because the women were there and now, I have no i

JADERay came back after Antonio left. He sad he’ll be here by seven in time for our date. She’d run up and told me I had to look spectacular.“Why? It is just casual dinner with a friend.”I want’t even sure he was my friend but I was saying the words to convince her, as well as myself, that this is just a casual thing. No need to put too much pressure on myself and make it a big deal.But Ray had looked at me like I just said something blasphemous.“This is Antonio! The hottest and most eligible bachelor in the seven circle and out of it. He is among the top five sexiest men on earth and most sought out bachelors. There is nothing casual about it.”I placed my palms over my eras from how loud she was screaming.Ray stared at me with smooch judgment. Almost like she used to when I first moved in. But now I was sure there was no real contempt in her eyes.“I’ll pretend you didn’t say that but get here right now and let’s fix you.” I was heading to the bathroom when she said that.“Tha

ATLAS“What the fuck is going on?” Andrew asked in surprise.My attention was on him driving and not what he was saying but it was pissing me off.“Can you go any faster?” I asked, seeing how he was acting like he had only two wheel for some shit.“I don’t want to go vert speed limit.”“Well you don’t have to go under it to fucking move!” He cursed but he accelerated just a little bit more. I still wasn’t happy but combining could only do so much when he has no intention of moving any faster.“Head to Damien’s club.” I muttered, looking out the window. We would be going on the highway soon and he has to take the turn that’ll head in that direction or we’ll be heading out completely. And I’m not sure I can wait another half hour before he gets back on the right track.Less than twenty minutes later, he was pulling up at the nondescript looking building. The petty side of me said I should call the cops and have the place raided, just to piss him off because t was a Friday. So if anythin

JADEThe dinner with Antonio wasn’t actually bad. Once I got past my nervousness and got rid of the thoughts clouding my head. It went smoothly.We spoke about many things. Really, conversation was so easy with him and I found out, he had a dry humour like me. It was a good thing he’d booked a private room, else we would have probably been reported for being too loud.He’d actually done it to avoid anyone, mostly the paparazzi getting an unwanted picture.He wanted it to be private and he knew I would like that too. I appreciated the thought.We’d just ordered desert when I excused myself to go to the bathroom. I picked my purse, a small smile on my face.I liked that this went better than I thought it would. It ay have had something to do with Antonio saying it was’t a real date. Just us going out for dinner.Maybe we were both falling ourselves by saying it was nothing. Seeing everyone’s intentions to hook us up. I just like that he was’t letting that pressurise him.I washed my han

ATLASIt was us two against five men. As if weighing out our options, Damien touched my side and handed me a better knife. He lunged forward, making the offensive move. I waited till the men came to me which was something that always gave me time to map out their techniques. Within four minutes, all give men were lying all the floor. Well, four because Damien was having a good time killing one of them slowly. “Let the poor guy out of his misery. “He laughed like a deranged psycho. “He was sent to kill you and you’re begging for his mercy? Still so stupid.”I let that slide and walked away from them, going back to the car to check on Feyre. It wasn’t easy getting her to stay in the car. She rolled the window down, poking her head out.“Hey, what the hell was that? Who were those people?”I didn't have an idea either and I don't know who sent them or if they were even sent. “I don't know but it doesn't matter now. Are you okay?” She nodded. “Yeah, who's that guy? Is he a frien

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

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
