Chasing His Rejected Luna 182
JADE Ray left, after she was sure she has fully traumatised me. I spent that time reading the book on the wolf nomads while I had my breakfast. Occasionally checking my phone to see if Antonio has messaged me. I always feel a tinge of disappointment when I receive nothing. Or if I check and see that it is just a notification for something else. I didn’t hear from him until much later in the day. And even then, it was a text saying he was still really busy with the closed door meeting. He was able to send that message because of a break. I don’t know what is going on but apparently dad was gone too. And I’m guessing they are together. I hoped everything was fine as I returned to my book. Another ping from my phone makes me rush to grab it. I didn’t even pause to put a bookmark where I stopped, making me lose my page. Not that I cared, thinking it’ll be worth it if it was Antonio. I sighed in disappointment and a little annoyance when I saw it was just Jaiya asking if I wanted to com

ATLASMy plan to get Jade has to come sooner than planned. That was the thing that kept running through my mind the linger this damned meeting took.Andrew kept shooting me worried glances. He didn’t have to say the words because I could clearly read then in his eyes. If all the other people in the room couldn’t tell. He knew me well enough to know my mind wasn’t in it. And I should be listening. Damn it.“The sixth circle have been known to do things like this.” One of our ambassadors that stayed there said.His name is Jamie, or Taylor, I’m not sure what he said because I wasn’t paying attention to anything going on. I just knew that he was giving us a lot of bad news and that was pissing me off.I didn’t want to deal with that. Not right now when I had already set my mind on doing something else.“But what exactly is their gain in this?” Andrew has been my mouthpiece throughout this ordeal, and I’m fucking grateful he is here right now. Seeing as I’m not in the right frame of mind
Chasing His Rejected Luna 184
JADEWhat came to my head when Jaiya said we should go out? Not much really, but it shouldn’t have been the idea of staying in. Because she did specifically said going out, so, why would I think staying in?Well, why I’m thinking about this is because the music is too loud and my head is thumping with the beat of it. Definitely not how I thought I would spend my evening. Though, I’m sure my irritability has more to do with the fact that Antonio hasn’t messaged me still. This is the longest we have gone without talking in… ever. Since before we even became official.It’s not even that he didn’t message me. I’m worried something was wrong because this isn’t like him. And that banned letter and its contents have been nagging me in the back of my head.If anything, Jaiya doesn’t look like she is any more fun than I am. She is lost in her thoughts and ha scene nursing the same drink. I got water, which I didn’t even drink.I wanted to ask her what was wrong because this is not like her. Sh

JADEThe walk to where Jaiya was seemed to have tripled, or even quadrupled compared to when I got up to go to the bathroom.She looked up when I got to her and I instantly noticed how dilated her eyes were. And it know it is not just because of the drinks.“Oh my God, Jay? Are you okay?” I placed my hand on her shoulder, giving her a little shake because even though she was looking at me. It didn’t seem like her mind was here at all and that made me break out in a sweat, my mind running as I thought of who to call.I moved closer to her so she could lean on me, which she did. And her body was deadweight, I had to adjust my stance so we both don’t topple over. Taking a survey of the whole place. I checked all entry and exit points. The most crowded and ;essential crowded spaces.All I needed to do was get us to the door. With another glance at Jaiya, I saw that it wouldn’t be as easy as it sounded in my head. But I wasn’t just going to sit here and wait for a miracle to happen.“Can y

JADEI woke up feeling someone’s eyes on me. Getting up with a start, a hand grabbed my shoulders, trying to pulls me back down. Or at least it seemed that way. My instincts kicked in and I started fighting whoever it was. My fist connected with their upper body and I heard a groan. And a very familiar voice curses.My eyes opened and I came face to face with Jaiya whose face was twisted in pain.“Shit. I’m so sorry Jay.” I spoke, getting up and giving her the seat. She nodded, trying to breathe through the pain.“Fuck!” She breathed out. “You’ve got a mean pinch. Remind me to never get physical with you.” Even though the situation was serious, I found myself chuckling a little and she smiled too. “Hey.”“Hi, good morning.” I greeted, taking a seat beside her and slinging an arm over her shoulder in apology. “I’m so sorry. My flight or fight instincts kicked in.”“And you’re a default fighter.” She groaned, rubbing her lower belly.“Unfortunately.” She nodded.“No problem. It was my f

ATLASTen missed calls from my beta is what welcomes me to Palm Springs. I knew that would happen, which was why I didn’t connect my phone to the wifi on the plane. And Andrew is pissed, rightfully so.But he should undertones the only reason I didn’t tell him this is because I know he’ll try to convince me to change my mind. To leave it and let nature run it’s course. But you know what? I’m fucking tired of how the universe is running things and I’m taking matter into my own hands. Writing my fate now.I didn’t even go to the hotel I will be staying at. Or I’ve thought to get maybe an apartment, a penthouse. I’m sure Jade will want to be visiting her family even if we don’t live here anymore. They seem very close, from what I’ve seen from afar.It wasn’t hard to get the address of her father’s house. He was the king here. Gaining entrance into the property was another thing. Because we were stopped at the first gate. And the house has three leading main gates. You have to pass throug
Chasing His Rejected Luna 188
JADEI tried to convince myself I didn’t see anything and it was just my overactive mind breathing fake scenarios. But it felt real. It wasn’t just a dream because I know what I saw and as much as I tried to convince myself it isn’t that. The truth is glaring at me.Jaiya noticed how I was getting flighty and she kept asking if anything was wrong. Not wanting to worry her, I lied ad said it was nothing. There was no need to scare her too unless is was sure it was something serious. For all I know, it could be the paparazzi. They liked following me like endless flies. And I’m saying this with the utmost respect seeing as they were doing their jobs.It just so happens that they have the most annoying job in the world and it makes me sick.We went back to the penthouse. Deciding to walk since that was how we came. I kept looking over my shoulder had expecting to see the an following us. But it was just a busy road with everyone minding their business.I thought we would get jumped, kidna
Chasing His Rejected Luna 189
JADEI freeze hearing that. Jaya doesn’t look any better with her widened eyes, almost filled with horror. I tried to come to terms with it. Remembering the weird energy I felt between them. But I said I was going to mind my business so I never brought it up. Now, I don’t know if I should have or not. Because she looks like she is about to have a metal breakdown.“Once?” The question slipped out. And I wanted to smack myself in the head because why does it matter if it was once? She seems haunted by it.I was ready to apologise for stepping over the line when I saw the slight shake of her head. It was very small, I would have missed it if I wasn’t studying her so well.“Twice?” Another subtle shake of her head. I reached for the bottle of water on the coffee table table and gulped down more than half of it in one go. My stomach rumbled, not agreeing with it because it was one things happening to my body to another. “How many times? Jesus.”The way I sounded must have been funny becaus

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.
Chasing His Rejected Luna 301
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
