Chasing His Rejected Luna 148
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.

JADEJaiya’s meeting ran later than she expected. By the time she called me, she sounded exhausted though she was willing to go. I told her to get some rest and we can have dinner or even just move it to the next day. I was free for the rest of the day since dad told me to take a time off until I’ve sorted everything out with the baby and all.I’m enjoying the little break. Though according to Ray, it isn’t a break. It is a day off.“A break means you travelled and left then house. Went to some excited location and had lots of fun. You just having day offs on day offs.” There was no way to convince her otherwise so I didn’t even try.Jaiay didn’t call even when dinner time rolled in. I called the front desk at her apartment complex, in case she was sleeping, I didn’t want to wake her up. They confirmed she was so I just decided to stay and have dinner at home.Dad was around and it was fun. Aiden still wasn’t back and when I asked, dad just shook his head. I turned to Ray and she sh

JADE“You have to go!” There was no room for argument in Jaime’s tone.I looked up from my phone and shook my head but she just gave me a less than impressed look before repeating what she had said earlier.“Who am I even kidding? You are gong.” I groaned and shook my head, she pretended she didn’t see that. “This is the biggest event of the year. Of the century and I want you to stick it in that man’s face and show him what he lost.”I moved to lay on my back, still trying to argue my way out of this. Not because I didn’t want to go, but I didn’t think everyone else would have said yes. Jaiya of all people. I expected a firm no from her and here she is, telling me to wear some sultry dress and go to the event that way.“Erm, even if I wanted to ruin this for Atlas, which I have no plans of doing, I’ll be putting my reputation on the line and I don’t think that is the idea my father had in his head when he told me to go.”She groaned loudly in disappointment. “This is our biggest chan

JADEThe past few days, I’ve been walking on gee shells. Egg shells I laid by myself because of all the thoughts running through my mind. I wasn’t planning on going with Jaiya’s plan, although it was a tempting idea. I didn’t want this to turn into some sort of game.My child isn’t just some kind of way to win a fight with Atlas. And as much as I would love to throw him off his game, since he as so good at doing it to others. I wouldn’t.I have reached one conclusion though. I will tell him. I just haven’t decided when.“Well, if you ever plan on telling him,” Ray was saying. I wasn’t fully listening to her but she is insisting on talking about this, right now.I wanted to scream.“You better do it soon.” I peeped from my closet, giving her a look.She was on the bed, holding some sort of textbook in her hand. She is supposed to be studying, but she has decided my life was a lot more interesting than her books. And I’m entertaining her because well, she may act like she is okay but da

ATLASI smiled at Annie, seeing how she was running around, trying to make sure that everything is perfect. When she came to pass by me, I captured her arm, stoping her.“You should relax,” I said, then looked down the simple shirt and jeans she was wearing. “And maybe go get dressed too. I’m sure you don’t want to be late.”She is breathing heavily when she replied. “I know, I know. I just want everything to be perfect.”“And it will be,” I cupped her cheeks, my thumb stroking her soft skin. “Stop stressing too much and go get dressed. We don’t want to be late.”She stared into my eyes for a few quiet seconds before nodding with a sigh.“Okay.” I nodded and released her.She rushed up the stairs, not before ease threw a command at one of the workers to act like they hd blood I their veins. With a smile my way, she disappeared up the stairs. I found myself watching where she was just standing.I sighed and looked away, taking note of the decorations she had out around the house. The e

JADE“Oh, you look so perfect.” Jaiya practically had hearts in her eyes when she was looking at me.I took in how perfect she looked too and told her just that. Then I twirled in front of the mirror, taking note of the way the day dress hugged my figure. It was a deep emerald, which brought out the cool of my eyes. Or at least, that is what both Ray and Jaiya said.It was custom made by Jaiya favourite designer. The material is sort of silky but not really silk. It just has that texture. I don’t remember what it is called but he mentioned it in his which French accent. It has a high neckline but bare sleeves, so I had to forfeit a bra. A rope was tied at the back, which holds the dress up. It flows to the ground. Not articular free but not skintight either.One of my legs is exposed with the thigh high slit. I paired the dress with hold heels and a pretty gold clutch, which had small emerald gems all around. I asked if they were real and Jaiya only laughed in her ‘you don’t want to k

JADEI didn’t realise I as bonding my foot nervously until Antonio placed a hand on my knee. He didn’t say anything but the soft stroke of his thumb over my bare skin distracted me from other thoughts. We were taking a helicopter that’ll take us to the venue which was located in the central. Kind of between the main town and where dad lives.It should be thirty minutes in all. Ad the drive was fifteen. Damien and Jaiya were already there as they had left before us. I thought we would all take a car which was’t the case. For thirty minutes we spoke and laughed and it was one of the best experiences of my life. But as the helicopter landed and we got into the back of the waiting limo, the worry that has been in my mind slowly started tricking back.Shit.i told myself to breathe in and out, doing my best to regulate my breathing. Antonio wordlessly slipped his hand into mine, intertwining our fingers. He kissed the back of my hand, which stole my breath.“You’ll be fine.” He whispered ag

JADE“i needed to come see him.”“Why?” He collected the baby from me “I told you that there's no need to. Why do you feel the need to come here even after I told you not to?!”“Because it's not just your victory! It's not just your life that he was after! It's mine too! And it's Ray's too! So yes, I needed to come down here to get closure.”He needed to understand that this meant something to me too, just as it did him.“Closure? Is that why you put the baby at risk? How much more closure do you need?”What on earth was he talking about?“Risk? Incase you didn't notice, I was there with him! I was at risk too! I needed him to look me in the eye and tell me why he did what he did to my family.”“Or maybe it's because you're too hung up on the past and you just can't let go. Incase you havent noticed, you're so stuck in the past and you are obsessing over it. Move on!”Well, I'm glad he finally got to say what he wanted to. Now I know how he feels about me trying to find answers. I w

JADEI didn't think it was worth it at first. Going to see the man that had made me grow up without parents and without the concept of what a true family felt like.But after much thought, he needed to know that all his plans failed and I was going to rub it in his face..I'd gotten all three pieces of the stone together and wore it around my locket.It would hurt him so bad to see that in the end, I won.Iniko decided that that was the right moment to start crying and everytime I dropped him back in his cot, he cried even louder.“Young man, what is it that you want? You've been fed and burped and I just changed your diaper so there's no way you could have soiled it again -”I stopped and remembered what happened yesterday so I took a peak for myself. There was nothing im his diaper.“So what exactly do you want?”I wish babies could talk.I guess I didn't have any other choice than to take him with me then. Atlas would blow a fuse if he found out that I took his son to see Ford.Whe

ATLAS“By wasting any more time, we are not doing ourselves any good! Sixth Circle pack is vacant. We have their leader in our custody and I've taken down every opposition in our way, do you think it would be long before we get more interests?”Sometimes, having a cabinet infuriates me so much. It was like I was speaking to brick walls. I didn't see any reason why they couldn't just agree to me taking over the Sixth Circle.It would even be better for us because it would improve our army base, it would make our pack bigger and in general, it would be a plus for us.But they weren't seeing it that way. All they were seeing was the fact that Ford had committed something against the pack and they weren't going to take it.I mean, what better way to teach him a lesson by taking over his pack?“Alpha, we're not disputing the fact that you've gone a long way-”“But you're diminishing my efforts. What's the whole point of defeating him and taking him into custody when I can't even go ahead a

JADERay and I weren't speaking for now.How could she hide something like that from me?“Where is she?”“I have no idea. All I know is that she ran away when we were little. She knew that he would come after her and she didn't want to put you in danger. So she ran away and left your nanny to take care of you. I don't know where she is.”How could she do this?“Before I lost my memory, did I know?”“No, you never knew.”I couldn't believe this. I lost my appetite for the rest of that day and I just stayed in Iniko's room because I couldn't even speak to anyone right now.I'd spent my life thinking my mother was dead only to hear that she was alive and she ran away because of that beast.“It’s not her fault, you know. Your mother ran away to protect you and Ray didn't tell you because she wanted to keep you safe. You have to forgive her.”I didn't blame her. It wasn't her fault things turned out like this. I was just hurt that I didn't know.Later that day, I took Iniko on a walk so h

JADEI was just realizing that this baby has Atlas's eyes and hair and everything!“This baby is rigged.”He turned around in shock.“What are you talking about?”“You did something to make the baby look like you.”He laughed and shook his head.“No, I didn't. It's just a coincidence.”“Coincidence? Look at this baby and look at you. It seems like I didn't even have anything to do with his birth.”“Don’t worry, you can have the second baby.”I scoffed.“You think I'm going to let you have another chance to have photocopies? Big joke.”Iniko was so small and he seemed so fragile.Ray brought my food and she took him while I ate.“I wish my grandmother was here to see him.”She gave me a sad smile.“Me too. She would be so proud of you.I'm proud of you.”I'm so happy my sister was here with me. She was the one who had been by my side throughout and if the child had been a girl, I would have named her after Raya.“Thank you for everything you did. If not for you, I don't know how I would

JADE“I'm going to need your blood as well. Atlas, I promise it won't hurt her. Just a little nick.”He nodded and she dragged the knife across my finger.“Place your finger over the stone and let the blood cover it entirely. Do not take your hand away from the fire.”It was a simple instruction but it seemed so intense.It was almost over. My legs were beginning to feel well and it was getting harder to quiet my screams.“What do we have here?”That voice. He was here.“What are you doing here?”All I had to do was keep my hand over the fire until the stone bled.Ray helped me stand up straight while Atlas and Andrew faced my uncle.“So this was why I came here. How did you do that? How did you call the other stones?”I eventually removed my hand from the fire since we had found them.“I always knew it was with one of you. That stupid old hag told me she couldn't find the other piece but I guess she gave it to you. “Why were all the worst things happening tonight?I was in labor and

JADEAtlas returned later that evening.I was right with what I'd thought.“What have you been up to?”I knew he knew I'd been eating because of the smirk on his face.“You know you don't have to hide from me when you eat right?”Oh, I did.“If you see how much I eat and the way I eat, I don't think you'd want to be married to me anymore.”He burst out laughing.“What makes you think I care about the way you eat? As long as you're healthy and our baby is fine, I don't care.”“But then, what if I get fat? I'll be so big that I won't be able to eat. I don't know why I eat so much.”This was actually a worry of mine. Normally, I ate but my appetite was not this big.“Blame it on the baby. I figure when you give birth, the cravings will stop and even though you do get fat, you're still my wife. It doesn't change anything.”I was really married to the best man ever, wasn't I?“You’re the best.”“I know. Ray says that we have to get there before midnight so that she can prepare everything.

JADEAt this point, I was realizing that the earlier we did things, the better.“I’ll arrange for the sacrifice to happen tomorrow. We need to move as fast as we can before he gets Intel that were here.”I didn't want to have to run with this big belly of mine.“What are you going to need?”“Don’t worry, I'll take care of it. Just bring the stone.”We went to bed that night because we were all completely exhausted.“Hey, are you okay?” Atlas asked when we were in bed.“Yes, I am. Why do you ask?”“You didn't cry when you found out that he killed your father. You didn't cry when you found out that she was not your grandmother. I'm worried.”Now that I think about it, it's true. But it was because I didn't feel like crying.“I don't know. Maybe my body just hasn't proceses it yet. Maybe its because I hate him so I'm not bothered that he's not my father and I never really knew my father so i can't cry for him. I've already mourned for my grandmother.”I just didn't feel the need to cry b

JADE“Jade, step away from that.”I walked back towards them and stared at the pile.“What kind of animal would do this?”I had no idea but I think I was beginning to understand why she wanted us to find this place.This place held secrets.I went back to the wall to look at the drawings and try to understand them.I used my fingers to trace them again and this time around, I heard the voice clearer.“Look at the bigger picture.”I stepped away from the wall so I could see the entire thing. There were more drawings to the side and when I walked up, I noticed that there was a sign at the bottom of it.That sign…looked all too familiar but I couldn't just place my finger.“Ray, come see this. I've seen this before but I don't know where it's from.”She crouched beside me and stared at it for a moment.“I know it's familiar but I don't know where it's from, either.”Andrew and Atlas joined us and just within seconds, they knew.“We know.”They shared a look and it made me scared.“Jade,
