Chasing His Rejected Luna 142
ATLASThere was this energy buzzing underneath my skin. The flight back home was certainly better and more enjoyable than when we were going. There wasn’t that sense of uncertainty. I wasn’t rehearsing all I was going to tel Jade when I got to her.Though, she was still on my mind with a new feeling of loss. I couldn’t deny the satisfaction of winning something I’ve wanted all my life overshadowed that. And I was happy. Just happy.So was Andrew. He looked better, like the weight that had been putting him down was lifted. I appreciated all of that.Before we’d left for the airport, my phone had started ringing nonstop. Everyone was calling to either congratulate or ask if it really was true/. My mother was ecstatic. I was shocked when I saw her call. She nevercally me. What she usually chose to do was just show up where she knows I’ll be if she wanted to talk to me.We got into the car and talked about the changed that will happen while on the drive home. Andrew said he would have to

ATLAS“Hi,” she said, looking around the office hesitantly. Like she was’t sure she was welcome.I haven’t spoken to her and as much as just seeing her reminds me of her betrayal. I see her with Damien and it is the worst thing ever. Because everything aside, she was my friend even before we started dating. And she knew him when I was in training school and how much I disliked him.“Are you busy?” She asked, staring down at her feet.I huffed out a breath and nodded. We’ll have to talk ether way and now is as much a good time as any.“Come on,” I pointed to the chair and she slowly walked and lowered herself into the chair, looking very uncomfortable.I stared at her, noticing the dark bags under her eyes. Proof of lack of sleep. She didn’t have any makeup on, her usual red lipstick was out of sight. I couldn’t remember the last time I saw her this bare faced. I’d even almost forgotten the colour of her lips. Pale pink.She was really beautify. Even without the ten pounds of makeup sh

JADEI didn’t expect myself to et immersed in the book the way I did. I mean, I knew I would enjoy reading it because it felt like it was a way for me to get close to my mum and know her. Her family history. But the moment I started reading, I actually loved were it was hiding heading. The part I loved mist was the little drawings, which made it feel more like a fun book than on for history.I learned a few things about the wolf nomads and the original family, which according to Ray, my mum came from. Though I haven’t confirmed with dad yet. I’ll do that when I see him next.From what I learned, the nomads rarely stayed in one place, as the name implied. They never have a one true home. Always travelling from one place to another. They had three tribes and each one had a leader. They would sometimes meet on the road and cohabitate for a few days or even weeks, but then, they never feel comfortable settling so they move on eventually.I paid more attention to the families, wanting to fi

JADEDuring dinner, confirmed the whole Atlas thing and though I completely believed Aiden, it still felt like a slap to the face. The shock. The reality of it. Everything I guess. But like I said, I wasn’t going to let it bother me. And I kept a good face of that while we ate.After dinner, I was positively buzzing to go back to my apart and get started on unboxing and going through the things Ray bought. I wanted to compare them to what I have read so far. The excitement might have something to do with me trying desperately get my mind to think of something other than Atlas and the fact that I was having his child.Now that I have accepted that fact and I was a bit comfortable with it. It is starting to become a constant thought.We were done with dinner and I was listening to Aiden and Ray argue about something that has to do with school. The headman walked into the living room as she normally would when we were sitting, but this time, she only informed us that there was a visitor.
Chasing His Rejected Luna 146
JADEI held my breath for a few minutes, wondering what was the worse that could happen that would bring Damien here.He seems like a man who never asks anyone for anything. So for him to leave his work and come all the way here. I shook my head, not wanting to think too much of it.I just hope it is something I’ll be able to help him with. After what Atlas did to his club, I felt like it was my responsibility to mend our relationship. Although he made it clear that there was no problem between us. Though, it didn’t alleviate the feeling of guilt that is eating me up on the inside.“You look worried.” Damien states, probably taking note of the long silence.“That obvious, huh?” I asked, holding back my nervous laughter by very little.“Kind of.” He cleared his throat. “Let me not keep you in suspense any longer.” He said, and his face looked soft. I don’t know how to explain it, but he seemed calmer or more understanding.It made me feel better too, instantly.“Jaiya sent me.” It felt

**JADE**Antonio was already there when I got out. He smiled when he saw me and walked up to me, giving me his hand which I accepted without hesitation. “Damien, this is Antonio.” I introduced them, not assuming they knew each other. “It is nice to meet you.” Antonio stretched out a hand, confirming to me that they were strangers. It wasn’t really surprising but I wouldn’t have been shocked too if I found out they did know each other. The months I’ve spent here has made me realize how small the world is. And many people knew each other. So having a large number of mutuals was a normal thing.Ray waved us goodbye, looking entirely too happy with herself. I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly she wants. Maybe it’s the whole me going out or maybe going out with Antonio part. I hadn’t told her I was inviting him. She was pleasantly surprised when she heard he was coming with.Antonio and Damien found something to talk about so the whole ride to where Jaiya was, they kept talking. I sometime

ATLASAndrew, Annie and I were in the drawing room downstairs, trying to decide who and who where will be in the guest list for the official party I had to throw as the leader of the council. It is supposed to be a formal black tie event and we had to get the big names.In the simple eye, it was supposed to be a way to pay homage to all the people there before you, to show that you respect them. But in reality, it was to show tour influence in the country. Just how many many powerful names can you get under the same roof. How many enemies could you make dine together, even if it ends in shit. The fact they knew the other was coming and they still showed up for you was what the world wanted to see. Even the people in attendance. So we had to be very careful with the guest list.Annie is a socialite. After she left the pack when I got married, she travelled the world and met with a lot other these people. She said to invite the wives. They’ll add it o their husband’s roaster and he’ll a

JADEEver since Jaiya moved here and we had that, should I call it date night? Well, night with her, Antonio and Damien, we have been hanging out every single day. I think we only get separated when we’re going to bed.I haven’t told her I’m pregnant yet. If you ask, I don’t even know what is holding me back. She will literally be the last person to judge. I’ve been thinking about it and so, I call her to see if she wanted to have lunch.She had an early meeting with some people, she sassed she’ll tell me more when we meet. And I thought it would be the perfect time to tell her about the baby. She is my best friend, if I had one.Thinking of best friends. It has been itching me to call Andrew and tell him about the baby. But I know he would tell Atlas and I haven’t reached a conclusion about that. I’m waiting for something to give me the push.Ray joked and asked if I was waiting for a sign from above. And although I looked at her like she had lost her mind. I was waiting for a sign.

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
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
