Chasing His Rejected Luna 207
JADE I was surprised to find Atlas gone when I woke up. He had been too cautious to go anywhere. I don’t know if he expected me to run or whatever he was thinking but I didn’t expect it. Dad was the one sitting on the chair he’d been on earlier. He smiled and got up when he noticed my eyes were open. Standing beside the bed, he takes my hands in his and gives it a reassuring squeeze. He didn’t need to say anything, he already knew everything that went out. It mad eye feel a little worried that I missed the conversation he must have had with Atlas. What did he tell him? He is’t the most calm man in the world and we would really come to it if he disrespects my dad. “Do you want any water?” I nodded because my throat parched, and that sounded really god. There was a pitcher and a paper cup beside the cup which poured and handed to me. I took it to my li[s with slightly unsteady hands. Only when I took the first sip, it felt like. Was going to throw up. But I appreciated the slight we

JADEThe doctor brought coconut flavoured water and I gulped the entire thing in one go. She looked relived when I took it all at once.“You can just keep more of the water close to you in case you need it. And there are other flavours too.” I nodded and thanked her as she lectured the room, leaving me with Atlas once again.He hasn’t spoken a word to me since dad left the room, and we were both just lost in our thoughts. Though, he has been on his phone since he came in. And I wanted to bash the device over his head. I breathed in and forced myself to calm down. Saying he wasn’t even worth it all.I forgot I was staring at him until he looked up and our eyes met. The softened for a second before he did his emotions.“Do you need anything?” He asked after I looked away. I actually didn’t think he would speak to me so I was taken aback when he did and it took me a few seconds to think of responding. When I finally regained my composure, I shook my head and then focused on the large wind

ATLASI signed the discharge papers a nurse brought a few minutes later the doctor left. Jade was sill not speaking to me although I didn’t fault her for that. I didn’t want to speak either because it would be so easy to say the right thing when my blood was still boiling from the realisation I had.When she tried to get up, I rushed and held her down which she didn’t look happy about . But the doctor said she needed to rest and that is what she’ll do. I don’t care if she likes it or not. There is no way we’re putting our chid in harm’s way.Fuck. There was just something entirely too pleasing about the thought of that being our child. Mine and hers. The symbol of us being together. The one way she can never get rid of me. trust me, I’ll make sure it never happens.I sent a text to Donald telling him we were ready and about to leave so he should clear the exit we were going to follow. While he did that, I went and got Jade her clothes which had been brought to the hospital by her fathe

JADERay met me by the door when I came in. She wrapped her arms around me as soon as she could, and only when I heard the soft sniffle did it click in my head that she was crying. I tightened my own arms around her and became the one comforting her.“Hey, it’s okay. I’m fine.” I didn’t mean for my voice to break but it did toward the end. She shook her head when I planned to move back a little so I just relented and held her a little longer.Sometimes I forget how really young she s because she acts so wise and beyond her age most of the time. It shines through though, at times. And today is one of those time. So, I hold her a little longer and tell her that everything is going to be fine. Even if I don’t believe it deep down myself.We settle into the couch with her beside me and Aiden on the other side. He didn’t say anything to me besides a nod of acknowledgement. But you could tell how worried he was from his eyes. They were so expressive.He is so different now than the first tim

JADEAntonio looked very different from the last time I saw him. He looked calm as he walked towards me and wrapped his arms around me, kissing my forehead and the top of my head.“I just heard about the hospital from your dad. I’m so sorry, baby.” He spoke softly, his arms becoming tighter around me.I tapped on his chest a few times so he would release me because I was feeling suffocated and the smell of hiccups cologne was going straight to my head and not in a good way. When he finally released me, it felt like a noose that had been tightened around my neck was finally loosened.“How are you feeling now? Is there anything I can do? Do you need anything?” I forced a smile and shook my head.“No, I’m fine. Much better now.” It was getting harder and harder to be close to him so I took a step back and sat on the loveseat. He took the couch, which was not very close to me but it still felt too close for some reason.What the hell is going on with me? I couldn’t understand all of these

ATLASWe were on our back to the hotel when I saw Jade’s drugs. And thinking she would need it, I told the river to turn around and head back so I could give it to her. I was only too happy to see her again before it was time for us to leave.Her younger sister was who I met with when I got there. She gave me a dirty glare before walking off and leaving me there. A maid appeared thankfully and she directed me on where Jade’s room was. When I got there, I was surprised when I heard yelling. I identified the voice immediately and all I could see was red.Not was only is he here, which I didn’t like even a bit, but he was yelling at Jade. The woman carrying my child. That black eye he said I gave him, I’ll give him a fucking real on now.I squeezed through the elevator even before it fully opened. The more ti saw him, bloodlust filled me as I pushed him away from her.“Why the fuck are you yelling at her?!” I screamed in his face. It was taking everything in me not to be beat him to a pu

JADEI tried sleeping after Atlas left, I did tell him I was going to sleep. But that was just an excuse to get him to go. So, why did my heart feel heavy when he actually left? Did I expect him to stay? No. I would have been upset if he’d stayed but then I wasn’t exactly happy that he left either.Maybe I’m just crazy. Most be the pregnancy hormones.Those were the thoughts keeping me up. This exact questions and others similar to it. Once in a while, Antonio would slip into the thoughts but I’ll get rid of them immediately.I tossed and turned, not finding the bed comfortable at all.How is it that I slept better in the hospital bed that was much smaller and not at all soft but now, in my comfortable bed, I couldn’t get even a minute of shut eye. This is horrible.Much later in the evening, I still haven’t gotten a moment of respite from all the thoughts, Ray came into the room. She myst have thought I was sleeping, with all the blinds down and lights off, so she slipped into the be

JADEI’ve been staring at the papers dad handed me for over an hour. I was seated on the couch because Ray is in my room and I didn’t want to wake her up.It seems like the answer to all my problems. Sign it and get rid of the marriage. It is what I wanted. It should be what I want. But it does’t feel right. And I may tell myself I’m hesitating because Atlas might use that as a way to get full custody but I know it is a lie. Deep down, I‘m not so sure I want this.Then again, this marriage, or excuse of one, that it is, has been like a noose around my throat. Suffocating me. Stopping me from breathing and fully moving on. And now, I have a chance to take it off and get rid of it. I’ll never be able to get rid of him. Not when his child, our child, is growing inside of me.Almost instinctively, my hands goes to my numb and I caress it. I’m not in the right frame of mind to think logically. I said as I stood up, locking the papers in the roosted where I kept my mum’s necklace.I’ll slee

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,
