Chasing His Rejected Luna 122
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

JADEMy eyes fluttered open, and the first thing I noticed was, I wasn’t in my bed. And there was a soft rumble of a man’s voice.My eyebrows creased in wonder. And I started to think, maybe I was dreaming and I was dreaming of who? The room didn’t look familiar and the voice didn’t sound like Atlas. It couldn’t be right.I rolled onto my back so I was staring at the ceiling. Not sure what exactly I was finding. If the paint didn’t look familiar, then definitely the ceiling fans’t going to help.The soft titters of a bird drew my eyes to the window. It was almost the entire wall and my breath caught in my throat when I found myself looking right out at the ocean.Now I was definitely sure this was a dream. And what a beautiful dream it is. I don’t care how I ended up here, is there a way for me to stay forever? As long as I can wake up next to this view every morning.The sun shining in the sky. The beautiful sea and the sky looking like one. And the beach, the few palm trees. Everyth

ATLASI decided to go into work after I left Damien’s club. I didn’t want to go back home knowing that Annie is there. I’m still not in the mood to talk to her.The wound is too fresh for me to look at her right now and not say something I know I’ll regret later.‘You never give Jade this benefit. And you wonder why she left you.’I didn’t have the energy, nor was I in the mood to argue with my wolf so I just ignored him. Pretending I didn’t hear what he said. Unfortunately acting like I didn’t hear him wouldn’t make the words leave my head. Because he was right and I knew he was right, but damn it. I’m fucking upset.I’m upset with Damien. I’m upset with Annie. I’m upset with Andrew, even though he didn’t fucking do anything. I’m angry at Arya, the fucking instigator. And myself, because I was stupid. Damn it, I still feel stupid.And I’m angry at Jade, especially. None of this would have happened had she just stayed and listened to me for five fucking seconds.Heck, she gave Damien

JADE “Good morning,” I greeted dad and go to kiss him on the cheek, he smiles brightly when he sees me. “Good morning, darling. I trust you set well.” “Yes,” I smiled and nodded as I took my seat opposite ray, whom I was trying my best to ignore because she was making kissy faces. I wanted to usher in her off her chair. I shook my head getting rid of the petty thoughts she is so good at getting out of me. I haven’t been able to live down the fact that I slept at Antonio’s place after our date. At first she didn’t even believe me when I told her nothing happened. Isn’t it too weird that she was that invested in my sex life? “How is I weird? You’re my sister.” She had said giving me a ‘duh’ look when I mentioned that. She waved her hand, and I knew she was going to change the topic which she did. “But tell me, how the hell do you sleep in that man’s house, knowing he was very close and then not tap that.” “N-not tap what? Ray!” She had looked at me and then rolled her eyes. “You

ATLAS Damien still hasn’t shown his little bitch face around here. I kept hoping he would show up anywhere I am, so I’ll fucking show him not to mess with me. Annie has moved in, much to my dismay and my mother’s joy. I wish I could say I felt remorse or any indication of sympathy towards her, but after finding out she connived with that damn snake, Damien, I couldn’t even stand to look at her, talk more of talk to her. She got what she wanted. She is in the house, but that is where it all ends. There was so much my mother could force me to do. Tight now though, she knows the highest she could get from her was permission to stay here. It has been four days since Damien had come here and dragged me to that plane hanger. That is two days after he sent me the fucking picture. I have more reason to believe he had that edited because none of those gossip sites have posted anything about that. My own curiosity and gluttony for punishment made me research the place he had sent. It was a

JADEHearing Antonio talk about his work was like listening to a kid talk about Christmas. I didn’t know had anything in common until then. He had a passion for fighting. I know it sounded wring, especially seeing how he was always put together. But when he explained it, I couldn’t help pausing to just watch him go.His eyes were glowing he had a smile on his face, his passion shining through. It wasn’t like anything I have ever witnessed and it felt great to see someone who understood the art the way I did.We’d spent more than half of the day in the gym, training and talking, he showed me some of his techniques and I did the same. We laughed, a lot. It felt like I hadn’t had good laugh in years and he was just there, making everything seem to easy.I have to say, I admire how he functions. How he works. It is wonderful.“What do you say, we should talk some more over dinner?” He asked when his assistant called to remind him of the meeting he had.“Are you asking me out on a second

JADEDonald urged and pleaded with me to wait I their VIP section. I only agreed because he was relentless and I didn’t want him to make scene. People were already looking at us in wonder as they passed. So I relented in an attempt to do whatever I was there for and get it over and done with.They brought me drinks and snacks while I waited. And Donald returned later with the receptionist.“Alicia has something to say to you, ma’am.” I have tried and failed to get him to stop calling me ‘ma’am’. It made me feel really old and weird. But he has reused to adapt.“I’m so sorry for the misunderstanding, miss. if I had know, I wouldn’t have let you stay for that long.” I shook my head and tried to offer her a kind smile.I’m sure she hated me because Donald liked fierce. And I’m sure he told her some things and she was really nice to me.“It is no problem. Thank you for your help.” I said, biting my lip to stop myself from telling Donald he still hasn’t gotten me the information I wanted.

JADEI was shaking with rage after my conversation with Damien. I couldn’t believe Atlas.I mean, I understood him being an asshole all those years we together. I never thought of him as a good person and I didn’t expect him to do anything good. But burning down Damien’s club? That was too much. Even for him.I had to leave the hotel and Damien because I was running late for my date with Antonio. But I promised to text him when I was free, so I gave him my contact. And then he asked if we could meet the next day which I agreed to because he was leaving soon.The main reason I said yes quickly was because I was feeing guilty for his hate. Atlas only did because he thought something wad going on between us.What the fuck is wrong with him?A frustrated growl comes up my throat, siping from my throat.He has totally ruined my moof for he night. Because instead of looking furred to my date and being about that, I’m here pissed off at him and thinking of all the things I wanted to say to h

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

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
