Chasing His Rejected Luna 170
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,

JADEToday was my first meeting as the official mediator for the council and the sixth circle. Dad asked more than five times if I was sure I was ready. I could sit out of the meeting the ambassadors were having with the elders for now. But I didn’t want to start my new job by missing a meeting. So I insisted on going.It was a whole two hours drive from Palm Springs. Antonio suggested we go with the helicopter as it would be faster but I said there was no need to pollute the air when we could just drive. It would be like a road trip.He insisted he follow me in that case.“You don’t want to be bored in the car all alone.” He had said and I laughed.“I’ll be busy with work, and checking what I will say but your company will me much appreciated.”And the trip was worthwhile, definitely more enjoyable than it would have been if I was alone. And since Antonio knew about all of things and the people I would be working with, better than I did, his presence turned out to be much better.I

ATLAS Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me. I glared at the glass as the two figures walked past my office and towards the hall where the meeting was going to take place. Because she didn’t just come in with that fucking guy. How am I supposed to focus on work and slap the fuck out of him the moment I meet him face to face. After watching him kiss her earlier, you can tell how riled up I am and how much I’m looking for a fight right now. Both my wolf and I are on edge. No one in the better frame of mind to calm the other. The door opened and Andrew walked in, a worried expression making crates form on his forehead. He sees me standing, my burning gaze still watching where they just passed. He comes to stay in front of me, backing my view where I was glaring at. “What’s up?” He toes to act casual but I know why he is here. His office is next to mine so he saw the same thing I did. “What?” I couldn’t even try to be curious. I’m pissed and it is showing. “You know what.

JADEAntonio’s hand was on my thigh throughout the meeting. I didn’t even tell him how I was feeling, but he somehow knew ad immediately went it and tried to comfort me. My heart did that weird flip thing it does when I’m thinking of him.I reached for his hand and intertwined our fingers. There was no way anyone would see because of the table, but I could almost feel Atlas’s disapproval from where he was sitting. The only reason I don’t pull my hand away is because of my stubbornness. Somehow trying to convince myself he wasn’t the boss of me. He doesn’t dictate what I do anymore.Not that he ever has before. He just silently expects me to do anything that would please him. Like, there is even no way I’ll think of doing anything he wouldn’t like. And I tried my best, for four whole years I did everything I could to gain his approval. Which he never gave might I add. He barely noticed me or my efforts.And now, that I’m finally happy and moving on, he wants to fight for me? Well, he s

ATLASPerfect doesn’t cut how Jade looks right now. Even if she is glowering at me, I couldn’t ignore how captivated I am by her. And her lips are moving, but all I focus on is their lusciousness, the light sheen of her lipgloss. That light pink that makes her looks sinful.My feet started carrying me to her but I stop before I do something stupid. It helped that the image of that wrapping his arms around her and kissing her flickered in my mind at that time.Did I want to pull her to me and kiss her until she forgot al about him? Until the memory of his hand son her body was nothing? Just that. I wanted it to be nothing.The thought of another man touching her. Having her. Everything that is mine, wrapped in the perfection that is her. It made my blood boil. And that must be the reason why I say the next thing I do.“Is he your boyfriend now?”The way Jade purses her lips in surprise only push me to want to ask her more questions. But she is staring at me in disbelief, like she could

JADEI expected Antonio to ask hat Atlas and I spoke about after I came out. But he didn’t. He just looked at me and asked if I was okay, which I think I nodded too, but I couldn’t be sure. My mind was still whirling from all that happened. The weird three sixty that Atlas did in one second. Him going back to his old self and acting like he could and then being surprisingly understanding and gentle. I was confused and worried something happened to him.Maybe aliens took over his over and are forcing him to act nice. Because the man I just spoke with, especially towards the end, was not the Atlas that I knew. And it was so damn confusing.The trip back wasn’t as enjoyable as it had been when we were coming. Even with the anticipation of what was going to happen and how nervous I was. I was more relaxed then than I am now. And I didn’t know what to blame it on.Antonio had wrapped his arm around my waist and I rested my head on his shoulder, falling asleep somewhere along the lines. I w

JADEI haven’t been fair to Antonio. I know that, and yes, I also know that I have been trying to elude myself into believing it isn’t actually that bad. But it is. And I know, if I keep doing that, I’ll end up pushing him away and hurting his feelings. That is the last thing I wanted to do to him.He is amazing and he makes me feel loved and appreciated. The leats I could do was return the sentiment.So, after we unloaded all of that. I promised myself to make it up to him, and I asked Jaiya what she thought I would do. At this point, Ray has joined us and they both went off mentioning different ways I could make it up to him.“Send him flowers.” Ray had said excitedly, fist pumping the air and almost punching me in the process.I dropped hr first and gently put it down, both Jaiya and I given her confused looks.“Men love flowers too. And they don’t get them nearly enough.” I added because that is actually right.But flowers seems mundane for the message I’m trying to send. Jaiya sa

ATLASAndrew was giving me the ch=old shoulder. And in all honesty, I didn’t give a shit. He was doing his focus and stain out of my business, what could be better than that?Then, he decided three days later that he was over the one sided fight and he barrelled into mu office, looking like a wounded animal with a snarl on his face.I ignored him until he spoke, then I asked myself if I wanted to acknowledge him. Deicing to be the bigger person. I hold my hands on top of my desk and fix my gaze on him.“Welcome back, what do you need?” I asked with a half ass sweet smile on my lips. He glared at me, not happy with the way I’m acting. But whatever bright him her was more important than his beef. He didn’t leave.“We need to talk.”“Oh, so now you want to talk?” I may not act like it but I’m petty as fuck. Especially when I’m dealing with him. That’s because he will go low and I’m always willing to go lower. Most importantly, we don’t take it to heart and we’re all cool in the end.“I d
