Chasing His Rejected Luna 131
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

**ATLAS**“Don’t say anything.” I growled at Andrew who raised both his hands up in surrender. He looked like he had many things to ask but my warning made him think twice about it. Good for him. I wouldn’t feel anything like guilt if I bash his face in right now. In fact, I’m actually hoping to do that. “You don’t look very happy, is all.” He muttered and got up to walk out of the room. I thought of stopping him. But that would be the worst decision since I know that he would piss me off. I let him walk out while I went and stood by the window. Not feeling at all great about the great view the hotel offered. I remembered choosing this room with the thought of Jade liking her when I got her to come to back with her. I know it was a little hopeful. But that’s Jade. I’ve known her since we were teenagers. She isn’t that stubborn and she is forgiving. I at least expected her to give me a listening ear. It has been a day since she left me in the hallway of that restaurant while she

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
