Chasing His Rejected Luna 163
JADEI cold’t sleep, so I ended up calling Jaiya. She os mostly a night owl and I wasn’t surprised when she picked immediately.Ray was sleeping and even if she was wide awake, I doubt I’ll be able to talk about what is on my mind with her.“Oh, Jade, I’m so glad you’re okay.” Jaiya said the moment she picked. She did sound so relieved and the feeling of love that washed over me is one simple words couldn’t explain. “Are you okay? Do you need anything?”s“I—no.” I cleared my throat. Not even sure what I wanted to say. I knew what I wanted to ask her before I decided to call but now that I was hearing her voice. It felt kind of insignificant. And trust me, Jaiya is the last person to judge so I wasn’t eve worried about that.It just didn’t make sense to say. ‘Antonio sounded off. Do you think he hates me?’ I don’t know about you but that sounded insane to me.“Talk to me, Jade. What’s wrong?” Her voice softened to that calming timbre that always made me want to open up. It was no surpr

JADEOn my way out, I ended up in my dad’s office. Now, you’ll ask, did I go there because I had something to tell him, or was I delaying the inevitable? It was the latter. At leats, I was honest with myself about that.Last night when I spoke with Jaiya, I was fairly confident about what I wanted to do. Because it was just that, words. Now that I was seeing the brand daylight and the possibility of it being more than words being thrown in my lap. I was a nervous wreck.It was a surprise no one mentioned it at breakfast. More like, dad and Aiden didn’t. Ray made sure to grill me. If I didn’t know that girl loved me, I would have said she hated me and loved seeing my discomfort.Though, I can’t really rule that out. She likes seeing me squirm.“You look well.” Dad said as I walked into his office. I quirked a questioning brow which made him chuckle a little. “I was worried you’ll shut down after last night.”Trust this man to not give you room for a soft landing. He just goes straight

JADERay was watching me, looking like she had something to say. Which was surprising, the fact that she hadn’t said it. She is not one to hold back.“What’s up?” I asked, after I finished checking my lipgloss in the mirror.I mean, it is still the best I could do when it comes to makeup. But I like it. I always feel so proud when I’m putting it on. Maybe I’ll take Jaiya’s advice one of these days and actually learn makeup. I do have the time.“Well, if you don’t come back as a girlfriend tonight, Antonio and I are going to have a talk.” She looked so serious that I wanted to laugh but I second guessed it and instead nodded.I pressed my lips into a thin line because it was just too hard not to smile. And well, mentioning Antonio’s name always makes me smile like a schoolgirl getting the attention of her first crush.“Yeah, dad. That sounds great.” I said with sarcasm and she got up and came to stand behind me.“I’m being serious. This is like yore tenth date so why are you not offici

JADEThe drive to the place, not that I actually knew where we were going because Antonio. Has been really tight lipped, was award after what happened. Or what almost happened.Ray dramatically covered her eyes, almost tripping twice because she refused to look at where she is going. We just watched her with unveiled amusement until she got into the elevator and then it was just us again. We couldn’t exactly go back to what almost happened and it became awkward. We were both obviously thinking of it.Well, I’m sure Antonio was a lot calmer than me because I wanted to scream. I didn’t though. Looking like a crazy person is not in the list of things I want to try out.Not knowing what to do because I’m still thinking of the almost kiss, I chose to text Jaiya. She would know what to do about this. Or at least, she’ll tae my mind off it.I don’t want anything to ruin the easy relationship I have with Antonio. Not liken official relationship. He is the closest thing I have to that, funny e

JADE“But how do you know so much about them?” I was the one reading the book, but Antonio sounds like he memorised the entire thing.The way he spoke about it didn’t seem like he learnt it in school or something like that. He genuinely loves it and I have to find out why.Could he just be anymore perfect? I’m so scared to reach out and touch him only to find out he isn’t real and this is just a sweet dream I am having. That all the days we have spent together, the messages we shared, were all a figment of my imagination and not the real thing.“Because my mother is a descendant.” He said with a sly smile, sure that I could be shocked. And I was. I couldn’t cover my mouth.“Shut up. You’re kidding!” When I finally gained control of my mouth, I said that and he just shook his head, laughing a little.“No, actually I’m not.” He replied. “Though it would have been nice if I was just saying that to impress you.”“The fact that it is real impresses me even more.” He nodded to himself and s

ATLASI’ve been pulling late nights for the past week. I wish I could say it was as a mean to avoid staying at home which will be filled with thoughts of Jade. But I have been so completely swamped with work that if I don’t stay late, nothing will get done.I have three secretaries and about five assistants. They are doing their jobs to the best of their abilities but it just seems like it is not enough. Nothing is enough.The worst part of it all is I still can’t get her thoughts of my mind. The few seconds I’m not buried in buried, I’m lost in thoughts of Jade.it’s almost one in the morning and I’m only just getting home. This is considered early in my new life. So, I guess I should happy. Except, I’m too fucking tired to even think of anything other than getting into bed and sleeping for three hours rest of the night. If I am able to.Another ting I’ve developed is insomnia. I usually didn’t sleep, but that was mostly a choice. I could sleep I wanted to. I just choose not to, most

JADEI think I’m starting to understand why people act crazy in the honeymoon phase of their relationship. The thrilling feeling. Heightened emotions. It is incomparable and just so full. But it isn’t too much. I don’t know if that makes sense. It is just crazy how you find yourself always thinking of the same person. Even if you spend the whole day with them, it does’t seem like enough and want more. More of them. More of everything.I’m starting to think I’ve lost my mind. When I told Jaiya, she only laughed and told me it is because I’m in love. I don’t actually think I’m in love. I do know I like Antonio a lot. More than I ahem ever liked anyone.Don’t get me wrong. I said like. It sounds horrible but I don’t think I’ve ever liked Atlas. Or maybe, I used to like him when I was younger. When I admired everything he did. It makes me wonder if things would have been different if we never got married.But that is not the point I’m trying to make. Atlas is more like a fleeting thought

ATLASI had a meeting with what you would call the ambassadors or the sixth circle. Six of them dealt with the issues of people from the sixth circle who were living here. We had our own ambassadors there, but as of now, they weren’t my problem. I’ll have to meet with them too, but not yet.Am I postponing it until it reaches the four weeks timeline in which I gave myself to get Jade back? There was no use denying it when the snare was already so obvious.Using the meeting as a guise, I’ll have a whole week of convincing her before we come back home together. And yes, I am confident because I don’t plan on giving up or leaving without her giving me the answer I wanted. Which was a yes.Andrew is here with me, a few minute stop the meriting which he personally organised.“We need everything to be perfect.” He was been sweating this, being nervous for some reason. You would think he was meeting his father in law for the first time.“It will be perfect. You handled it yourself.” I said,

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

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
