Chasing His Rejected Luna 213
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

ATLASMy phone vibrated with the notification of another call coming in. I didn’t want to pick, knowing what Andrew was going to say was important, then I saw it was Jade’s father.“Hey, let me call you back. Jade’s father is calling.” I tried to keep my voice calm so he wouldn’t worry but I was freaking out inside.Ford wouldn’t be calling me unless it was important. I answered the call and put it back to my ear.“Jade has been rushed to the hospital. She passed out and hit her head—“ I didn’t wait to listen to the rest of the things he said, I just got up and rushed out.Donald was standing outside, liking like he was about to come and get me. I saw the shocked look when he noticed how disheveled I looked.“Is everything okay alpha?”“We’re heading back to the hospital.” He nodded and got in step beside me. I felt the elevator would be too slow so I heard towards the stars and pretty much flew through all of it. The car was already waiting upfront when we got there and Donald took t

ATLASI sat on the only chair in the room, watching Jade as she slept, my heart heavy in my chest. She looked so fragile and weak, and her supple skin is pale now. There was no word to describe how she looked beside sick. That was just it.Was it really worth losing her life to have this child?I wanted her to be fine. I’ll always pick her first but I know she’ll never agree to remove the baby now. She would rather lose her life because she is selfless like that. So, I told the doctor not to infirm her about this. At least not yet. It would just add to her stress levels which I’m sure is not s good thing.I must have fallen asleep because the next time I focus on the bed, she is wide awake and watching me. I stretched and looked out the window, seeing how the sky was starting to get bright. It should still be early morning so I might have sept for an hour or two at most.Jade had a look in her eyes that I couldn’t place. But I didn’t let it deter me. I got up and walked to her side. S

JADEI kept thinking what atlas said, long after he left. My mind was still on it. He didn’t say where he was going but he kept getting calls and he assured me he would be back. I don’t know why I nodded and smiled. Totally forgetting I was supposed to be angry at him for everything. The butterflies on my stomach made me forget anything like that.Ray has been with me and she’s trying her hardest to distract me from everything. She thinks I’m distraught. And I don’t know how to hell her I can’t even tell what I’m feeling. But sad and confused definitely isn’t one of them. Maybe I needed to be beat housings something is clearly wrong with me mentally.“You’re sure you’re not feeling type of pain?” The doctor asked, a kind smile gracing her lips.“Yes, I’m good.” I repliedI was a bit lost seeing how the pain completely disappeared. If I didn’t know better, I would say my body liked being in the hospital. But overall, I thought the whole thing was weird. She didn’t prescribe any pill
Chasing His Rejected Luna 218
ATLASJade didn’t look too happy about that. Not to mention her younger sister who was shooting daggers my way. Yes, their father didn’t know we were heading here and I would rather it remains that way for a while.“Atlas, you can’t just decide to ship me off to a different place without notifying me beforehand.” She had a frown on her face and though it gutted me, I knew why I was doing this.I would much rather she has that smile I kept seeing all through this morning. I know as soon as he knows what is actually going on, she wouldn’t mind.“I’m sorry about that.” I said earnestly, walking up to her and taking her hand. I make sure she is looking at me before I speak. “There was no time to tell you and…” I paused, letting a small knowing smile lift one side of my lips in a half smile. “i knew you would argue.”“So you intentionally didn’t tell me?” She deadpanned.“Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.” I replied and she sighed, looking like she was tired of my antics but a

JADERay fell asleep an hour into the flight. I think she has been in the hospital for a while, since I was sleeping because I didn’t see her until dad left.Donald picked her up and took her to the bedroom on the plane. When he came back, he went to the farther part of the jet, his attention solely on his iPad. He had a serious expression on his face all through.Atlas came to sit next to me after that. He didn’t say anything, didn’t even try to have a conversation. Just like he was completely satisfied with just sitting beside me. Me on the other hand, I couldn’t get my heart to calm down.I was so sure he could hear the erratic loud beating. Must be why he reached for my hand and have it a squeeze. As if telling me I wold be fine. Not knowing he is the reason I‘m so nervous.Somehow, I rested my head on his shoulder and we sat that way for the rest of the flight. Ray woke up when we were about to land. She’d glared at Atlas when she saw him sitting beside me. Before she dejectedly
Chasing His Rejected Luna 220
ATLASI don’t know what reaction I expected from Jade, but it definitely wasn’t much. Did I hope for it to be much? Yes. Though, I was honest with myself enough to know there was a high chance it wouldn’t be that way.Still, I was very disappointed when she didn’t say anything. She just swallowed, looked down, refusing to meet my eyes and asked where her room was. Claiming she was tired from the flight and needed to lie down.I tried to not show how she gutted my heart. So, I forced a smile and told her to come along.Although, Ray had given me a look. It wasn’t much of a compliment but it didn’t hold as much contempt as her other looks usually did.“Your clothes are here.” I informed her after taking them to the luna’s room.Jade isn’t staying anywhere but there. Where is rightfully hers. Jade thanked me, still making sure to look at anything else but me. And after standing awkwardly for a few seconds, I turned and left. I was supposed to meet with Andrew anyway.I headed down to the

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
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
