Chasing His Rejected Luna 228
JADEI kept glancing at the door whoever I heard some type of movement. Hoping it would be Ray. Or some dark and hidden part of me that wanted it to be Atlas.When I did hear footsteps about two hours later, I instantly knew it was him. Must be from the way my heart skipped a beat at the sound. Or maybe something else. I’m not sure, but I was almost trembling with excitement.I managed to hold the feeling down until he walked into the room. There was something in his eyes that I couldn’t explain but they looked bright as he stared at me. And I was fully clothes, but I couldn’t help feeling naked undressed his gaze.Satisfaction surged through me when his eyes lowered to my legs. I was sure the appreciation I saw there was not just in my head. His eyes slowly traced back to my face, stopping for a moment on my belly that was hidden with the big shirt, and breasts before he finally met my eyes. His gaze had gotten hot from the last time he looked at me.He cleared his throat, ran his ha

JADERay didn’t come back, even an hour alter and I was starting to get worried. I wasn’t only panicking because I needed her to help me get dressed. I’ve become so used to asking for her opinions on thing, especially my clothes that it somehow felt weird to not get her input.I managed to pick a designer dress. I wasn’t sure it fit Atlas’s criteria for sexy. But it was the only thing that hid my bump well enough that no one would know it even existed. I wasn’t ready for the media to know. Seeing how crazy they were already getting just seeing Atlas and I together.I haven’t been on social media for that exact reason. I didn’t want to see anything I wouldn’t be happy about. And with how I have been sick, my baby’s health is the most important thing to me. And I know how I feel directly affects the baby.I straightened my hair. Not doing a very good job but I didn’t look like a clown which I took as a win. I was in the process of trying to fix the back of my hair when the door opened a

JADEIf the heat in Atlas’s gaze could burn the clothes I was wearing, I would be atoning naked right now. And something tells me he would be happy about that.I found Aya before we left and told her when Ray comes back, she should tell her I have got but I’ll she back before she gets to bed. Since I didn’t know how late we were going to stay out, it felt better to warn her. Although, ray doesn’t sleep early. So, there was a very high chance she would still be up whenever I come back.I just hope I’ll make it to my room. Atlas doesn’t look like he would let me out of his sight for the rest of the night. To be completely honest, I didn’t want to stay away from him either.My need to always be with him and close to him increased tenfold after he marked me. And I wished I could say there was a part of me that wasn’t happy about it. But then, that would be a lie. I loved it. Loved how he was all over me. I loved how butterflies swarm my stomach whenever he is close to me.Knowing his atte

ATLASMaybe it would be considered petty, or even toxic, that I chose this specific spot for our first date only because that fucking Antonio. Had brought her here. I just didn’t want her to be thinking of him when she saw it. And I was buying shares and partnering with the owner on some projects. I didn’t want any memories of her and him to remain in her mind.And did I also want to have a say so I’ll ban him from all the pother locations? Yes. I am petty and toxic. I don’t care. I don’t want him anywhere near my woman.Saying my woman while referring to her and seeing my arm on her had to be the most erotic thing ever.I pulled her closer, kissing the top of her head while we walked in. She looked up, her brows scrunched in thought but I just smiled as we got to the elevator and I pressed the button. It took us stage to the floor of the restaurant where the host sectored us to the rooftop.I wanted us to have a private dinner so it was fully booked. And I may have done a little thin
Chasing His Rejected Luna 232
JADEThe man had already ruined the evening with his presence. So even as he left, there was that wave of awkwardness that hung in the air. And I just kept thinking of what he said. What did that even mean?Hostages? Atlas had hostages from my dad’s pack here? It didn’t make any sense.I tried to bring it up but he waved it off as nothing. I knew there was tension between the council and the sixth circle. But I haven’t really kept up with it, all in the hopes of avoiding earring about him and knowing what he was up to. Now that I’m here, I’m kind of wishing I had listened to even asked what was going on.I didn’t like what was gaping, not even one bit. And something told me it was only going to get worse.Atlas was definitely someone that didn’t like to be bossed around and told what to do. Especially when it came to his work. So, I knew that letter didn’t sit well with him. Not that he showed it, not right now.But when you know someone. You just know them. It was a blessing and a cu

ATLASThe night definitely was not going to end the way I had anticipated. First, to was that facing messenger, whom I wasted to kill. And now this.How did we not hear Jade some so close. Though, even if I had been calm enough to hear her footsteps, my mind wouldn’t have guessed it was her. I would have thought maybe it was Donald or one of his men, or even the maids. But not her. And now she heard what we said about her father.She was pissed. Rightfully so. The man portrayed himself as a saint so perfectly that if I hadn’t gotten hard proof he was a horrible shit, I wouldn’t have believed it.I have always known he was manipulative and he had sociopathic tendencies. The way he acted the way you would expectant upright human would. But he had mental issues. I may not have a diagnoses but it doesn’t matter. All you had to do was look closely into the things he did and it would be clear.My first sign shooed have been the fact that he was close to Brandon. My dad’s stepbrother and the

JADESomeone, we found ourselves in the bed, cuddling, as we waited for any news on Ray. Donald had returned and said she was nowhere on the property, that they searched everywhere but they didn’t see her. So, she must have left. The security cedars didn’t get anything which was a little weird. I was extremely worried and suggested we go and see for ourselves. Atlas managed to calm me down, reminding I needed to think of my baby. That made me forget very argument I wanted to come up with.To make me feel better and like they were really doing their best, he told Andrew to head out with the rest of the crew that were looking around the house for a second time.The fatigue, from the flight and all the other thing sharpening, finally caught up with me and I slept off. when I woke up, I saw that it was about three in the morning. Atlas was in the bed with me, though his shirt was gone and so were his pants, he was only in his underwear. And I was wearing his shirt. My dress was draped ove

JADEMy routine has been the same for the next few days. I woke up, worry about Ray. Speak with atlas about her, ask if there is anything new, he says no, and I worry some more. I eat my meals in silence while he watches because I need to it. For the baby. Is what he tells me when I say no, I’m not hungry. I’m always not hungry.Then in the night, after he come back from work, we’ll eat together and then cuddle, then sleep. I spend all my time while he is gone worrying about Ray. Coming with different scenarios of where she could be and what must have happened to her. It usually ended badly.On the third day, I was sitting by the window and staring out of it, imagining how I would feel if I saw Ray walking through it. I’ve imagined this scenario a million times now that it didn’t even excite me as much. I couldn’t lie to myself and say it could happen. It is looking more and more impossible as the days go by.I had tried to stay positive. The first few days. But after seeing how they

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

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
