Chasing His Rejected Luna 22: Worst Side Of Me
ATLASI was gritting my teeth so hard. It was a surprise they didn’t break.Annie’s hand tightened around mine. Her red rimmed and tear filled eyes pleading with me to stay here with her.Her fear was so evident and the worry too.It made my chest tight. I couldn’t believe Jade actually tried to hurt her. I thought she was bigger than this.‘You can’t seriously believe Jade would try to hurt anyone. A pregnant woman, at that?’ I ignored Kian who scoffed in my head.I couldn’t trust his judgment when it came to Jade. He liked her as his mate so of course he would defend her, even if she was wrong.My mother’s chilling voice came from the door and I huffed out. I didn’t want her to come here until everything was already settled.She didn’t like Jade. And if there was a chance of me getting her back. She would ruin it simply by talking.I leaned down and pressed a kiss to Annie’s forehead, then I assured her I would be back just then. I headed toward my mother and Jade.The former was tr

JADE“I’ll drive you home,” Andrew spoke, not turning to face me and I nodded robotically.I reached down and quickly picked up the papers Atlas made me throw again. I didn’t know what to feel after everything that happened. So I just decided to shut off all emotions and thoughts in my head.Before we turned and left, I looked into the room and found Annie staring right back at me, with a slight curve of her lips. She was pleased. Her plan had worked.I shook my head and followed Andrew.The car was heavy with silence as he drove me back home. He didn’t say anything and I didn't have anything to fill the silence with. I thought of turning the radio on a few times but I never did and just settled for looking out the window. Watching as we passed by endless trees and a few cars on the highway.“Jade. Jade.” My eyes snapped open and I jerked, trying to pull away from something that was holding me down. “Careful, you still have your seatbelt on.”Seatbelt? What was I doing in the car? I h

JADE“Ohhh, cute neck piece.” Daiya winked at me, her fiery red curls bouncing as she walked out of the office with my file in hand.I didn’t even get to thank her for the compliment.She isn’t the first person to comment on it. Since I’d come to work, many people I ran into noticed it. I had thought of tucking it under my shirt because of the attention it was getting.I thought it was just an ancient looking thing that would remind me of my grandmother. The interest everyone was taking in it surprised me.It didn’t look particularly expensive. There was a stone in front of it but I doubted it was any special type. It definitely wasn't a diamo
Chasing His Rejected Luna 25: Put Down
JADEI was still watching Mr. Harrison in shock when Willow rushed into the room, like she knew what was happening.She ran up to me and tried to pull me off the floor. That managed to knock sense into me and I followed her, getting up as my senses came back to me.It wasn’t a wise decision to be close to someone when they are in a half shift stage. Nothing was familiar to them and they could harm anyone.“What’s that?” She asked I couldn’t tell if she was talking to me or not.I may have snapped out of my panicked state, but I’m still not fully in the right frame of mind to process things.Realizing that, she pulls out her phone from her pocket and dials for a bit before I hear her give one order.“Bring the tranquilizer.”She led me to my office, neither of us addressing the elephant in the room.Nothing had ever brought it up so I just assumed she was a human and she didn’t know about the whole werewolf thing. From the lack of shock in her eyes, I can tell she does. And she isn’t f
Chasing His Rejected Luna 26: Candy Makes You Smile
JADEI was still in shock of what Mr. Harrison said.The conversation with him has been running through my head for hours. I couldn’t sleep last night. I kept tossing and turning and staring at the locket I had held in my fat since he gave it back to me.He’d heaved a heavy sigh before he started speaking.‘The blood rhinestone was created to destroy alphas. Not all alphas, but certain alphas from different packs. And his pack had been one of them. Just as it was made to be their downfall, it was also their only saving grace.Unless you had one in your possession, you won’t be able to stop your pack being destroyed. And no matter your strength or the size of your army. A small pack could overthrow you because that is just the curse of the thing. Each pack was assigned one gem. And if you lose it. You lose your pack.’The one I had belonged to Mr. Harrison’s pack. His old pack, I guess. Seeing as it was with me. I would guess the pack was destroyed. He’d seemed bothered when we starte
Chasing His Rejected Luna 27: Angelic Hero
JADEI called myself dumb in many different ways when I saw just how dark it had gotten when I left the park. And of all, I chose today to not come out with my phone.I don’t even know what I was thinking. Or rather, wasn’t thinking. But I couldn’t order an uber and there were no signs of cabs anywhere on the street. I knew about this so why did I let myself lose track of time? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!!!To be fair, I had completely zoned out.I had no choice but to walk. It was even better than going to find a bus station because it was farther than where I was heading.My head was down and my steps were quick. I had one goal and that was getting home safely.“Ahhh,” I cursed when I felt a burn on my chest.It was sharp and extremely painful. I couldn’t keep going because of the pain so I leaned against one of the walls where I was walking. There wasn’t much light here and I wanted to keep walking forward. But my knees felt too weak and the pain was just getting worse.I unzipped my j
Chasing His Rejected Luna 28: Opps
ATLASMy teeth clenched when the annoying alpha from Greendale pack smirked. His bright blue eyes always unsettled me. They almost looked transparent.Damien-demon Allister was my age and equally as ambitious as me. So naturally, I hated the guy.“How is your wife, alpha? I heard she is one of the best fighters you have.”I see his beta roll his eyes, also with a sickening smile on his lips.If they knew about Jade, then they knew damn well she wasn’t living here. Taking the whole ‘keep your friends close and enemies closer’ too seriously.“She is good.” I replied in a clipped tone. “And we’re not here to talk about her. What do you want?”When he called and requested a meeting with me. I couldn’t decline. Not because of anything, but I didn’t want him to think that even for one second he made me nervous. I hadn’t expected him to say it was tonight though. Still, I couldn't say no.I didn’t need any preparation whatsoever to meet with the little shit.I hate him more than anything and
Chasing His Rejected Luna 29: Jade
JADE“Are you okay, miss?”That angelic voice called out again.I gave my head a little shake, trying to get to my feet. Seeing that, the man moved forward and took my hand, helping me up with a single pull.A zap of electricity shot through me when our hands touched. His eyes turned back to me and I saw confusion there. It was only present for a minute before it disappeared and he plastered a welcoming smile on his face.“Alpha,” another man came running to him, holding an iPad, I think, in his hands. “We need to get going. We’re already late.”His eyes trailed to me and they creased like he just noticed me.“And who is the pretty lady?” His voice changed, taking on a flirty tone as he eyed me up and down.I started thinking if my plain jeans and jacket looked good. I got rid of that thought with the speed of light. I had never cared what people thought of how I looked. Especially men. I wasn’t about to start now.“That’s what I’m trying to figure out too.”The man with the blue eyes

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
Chasing His Rejected Luna 299
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
Chasing His Rejected Luna 297
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
Chasing His Rejected Luna 295
ATLASThe reality that the baby was coming made by kind go blank for more than five minutes. It probably wasn’t up to that but it felt like my world had stopped so everything seemed longer than it is in reality. I was excited. Deep down below the worry and fear and everything in between. I couldn’t wait to meet my son. The baby that was half of me and half of Jade. But I wasn’t happy too. Because she wasn’t in the right state of mind right now. And I don’t know how she’ll be when she wakes up. She would be ecstatic. I knew she wanted to experience every part of this. But I guess you plan and then life happens. “We’ll have to get her to the hospital soon. So she isn’t under for too long. It might be bad for the baby and her.” Feyre stood close to me as she explained. Her voice was soft and eyes filled with worry. She hasn’t known Jade for a long time but she as already really protective of her.“Okay.” I swallowed as I said the words. Then gave Jade’s hand a little squeeze. Before
