Chasing His Rejected Luna 130
ATLASAndrew and I decided the best way to use the element of surprise on Damien is making him think we weren’t plotting behind his back. So today, I called the airport and told them I was travelling. I needed the jet ready.“Won’t be better it you go alone?” Andrew asked for the fish time since I told him was I was planning.He thought it would be best if I go alone. But I know how Damien thinks and he knows me too. If I’m not around and Andrew, it is basically the same thing. Because he does a lot of things for the pack and only needs final approval from me.Damien wouldn’t fall for that. In fact, he would be on the next plane out if he saw me there. The both of us, though? Even if he doesn’t fully believe us, his guard will be down enough for me to do what I wanted.“No, we need to go together.” I said with a tone of finality.He shrugged and started walking to the door. I was supposed to pack but I have been ignoring the task. Jade usually did all of these and to be honest, I have

JADETalking with Antonio has always been nice, but now that we actually had something in common, something we were both passionate about. It was like talking to mirror of myself. It helped that or ideas were very similar so we just kept adding on what we were saying.And laughing. I haven’t laughed this well in so long.“But it would be great if we offered admissions to people of lower rankings.” He mentioned when we were talking about the students for the training school.It was initially supposed to be for alphas in training. But alphas alone didn’t make a ack. We have warriors, betas. Gammas and deltas. And no matter how much they are overlooked, omegas do a great deal too.They do most of the housework. And I think it would be great if they are able to defend themselves instead of just being dependent on warriors. Many packs have been destroyed because only warriors could defend them. And when the omegas who remain in the house are killed, it is like the foundation has been tampe

JADEThe shock of seeing him rendered me speechless. Motionless. breathless. Everything stopped. My entire world stopped.I felt a hand on my lower back. It felt barely like the bus of a feather and I wanted to turn and be sure it was Antonio, except I couldn’t bring myself to look away from him. I didn’t know who was pinning the other with his gaze. But it wouldn’t surprise me if it was him. He always seemed to have the upper hand.“Jade,” Atlas said, this time his voice was louder and he sounded more confident.“What are you doing here?” The voice sounded like mine, but I was as surprised as the men standing there when I heard just how vinous and cold I sounded.“I-i wanted to see you.”I folded my arms across my chest and stared up at him. My expression was blank and that made him take a very small step back. Unless you were very close to him, you wouldn’t have noticed the small backtrack.“Why?” I wasn’t relenting.The strength in my voice and how I and hiding my true feelings was

ATLASThe whole interaction with Jade felt like a fever dream to me. I couldn’t accept that it was real. Eve after watching her take that man’s hand and walking away with him.I have no idea what held me back from following her, taking her form him and forcing her to docile with him, but I stood there, like a fucking clown as she walks off with the an, leaving me with the damned security that looked too happy to witness what was going on.“Sir, please. We don’t want to be forced to call the police.” One of the said, pointing at the door.I weighed the options in my head. They couldn’t do anything fucking thing to me if I wanted to go in there and see Jade.Except, she doesn’t want to see me. She saw me and she still left.I didn’t expect her to jump into my arms, but I expected a moment to explain what happened. In private. I wasn’t going to talk about something that affected the both of in front of an audience.“Sir.” I blinked myself away from my thoughts and nodded at the man, then

JADE Even though I told Antonio that I was fine ad I pretended I was. I wasn’t and I wanted to be. And I think that is why it hurt so much. He didn’t say much, didn’t argue with me either. Though he could clearly see that I was out of it. “Do you want to get out of here?” He asks and I nodded, even before he was done with the question. He got up and took my hand then dragged me back to his car. We didn’t say anything to each other then. But I couldn’t deny how much I was aware of my hand in his. I saw how he kept turning back to look at me. Like he had to be sure I was still there. The valet brought the car to the front and he opened the door for me. Instead of entering I turned and wrapped my arms around him, pulling him into a unexpected hug. He was take aback because it takes him a few seconds to relax and then hug me back. “Thank you.” I whispered against his chest. Something about his erratic heartbeat felt oddly calming. You would think he ran a marathon. It was r

JADE The doctor finished the routine tests as she had called it, to make sure I was fine. She mentioned sorting about a conduction which surprised me bemuse I know I didn’t fall and I didn’t hit my head either. But she was adamant and I easily gave in. “Your dad is here in the waiting room,” the nice doctor said, pointing over her shoulders at the door. I nodded. Even though I didn’t understand why this was such a big deal. What even is going on? She didn’t say anything that’ll give me a hint of that. And I wanted to ask, but for the life of me, I couldn’t tell what was stopping me. “We are still waiting for your test results, so we can’t administer anything to you right now.” She spoke while tapping on the keyboard in her hand. “But if you’re in any type of pain, notify the nurse immediately.” The tone of heroic made me feel a little cold. It sounded like something was wrong. Like whatever they think is wrong with me is bad. I nodded, trying to mask my worrisome thoughts with a f

JADE “WHAT?!” Antonio and I say at the same time. The doctor looks between us, clearly confused. “I—I’m sorry doctor, but there must have been some kind of mistake.” I stuttered through the words. I couldn’t believe this. No. No. No. It can’t be real. It just cannot be real. She looked down at the tablet, like she was reading through something, then she faced me and she nodded slowly. “There is no mistake ma’am. You are pregnant.” If it was possible for my heart to stop while I remained alive, then I would tell you my heart just stopped, for the second time, even. “We could do an ultrasound if it’ll make it easier for you to understand?” She sounded so unsure, I didn’t know who nodded between Antonio and I. I would go out on a limb here and say it was him, because I can’t even get my mind to think straight thoughts, talk less of a coherent understandable response. “Are you okay?” Antonio’s voice was soft, breaking though the still ringing I was hearing in my head. I looked du

JADEThe room was so quiet, you could hear if a pin dropped. We all had the same expressions. Or at least, I know had a horrified expression, dad looked deep in thought and Ray was confused, above all else. And Aidan, he looks like he is far away in thought and Antonio, I couldn’t even tell what he looked like, because I have been avoiding his gaze.“If the doctor clears you, we can go home.” Antonio read the silence.Instinctively, I looked up at him and saw how he was watching me. There wasn’t contempt or any of the tother emotions I thought he would have. He looked normal.“I don’t assume you would want to stay here much longer.” I nodded.He was right about that. I was tired of the entire hospital. The smell, the white walls. All of it was making me even more sick.“i’ll speak to the doctor. She can come and look after you at home.”“There would be no—““Let her come.” Dad interrupted me with a reassuring nod. “We’ll wait for you in the car.”Antonio nodded and walked out of the r
