Chasing His Rejected Luna 235
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

JADEAtlas and I shared a glance as the men walked into the house. I noticed they were all going in the same direction.“Don’t you want to go with them?” I asked Atlas, who looked content standing beside me as men he didn’t know moved to raid his house. Looking for my sit sister that we both know was’t here because he wasn’t honking her hostage.A small part of me wondered what if they actually found her? But I waved that thought off, knowing they probably would’t, since we couldn’t either. I was suddenly hoping she was’t even here so that whatever they thought they had would be nothing.“There’s no need. They’ll come back with nothing.”I dob’t know for how long we stood there but it definitely wasn’t for long. Which was why when I saw the men coming back, I realised a breath I didn’t know I was holding.“And what did you find?” Atlas asked. He didn’t roll his eyes but could hear the sarcasm in his voice.“This.” The man who had spoken earlier said. Even before I looked, I felt my he

ATLASFUCK!!!!Glass shatters, followed by the sound of other things hitting the ground. Everything on my desk was now laying, scattered on the face floor. Seeing the desk upright pissed me off so I flipped to over too. I must have used more force than I thought because it hit the wall and broke into two.Weak fucking wood! I wanted to yell at it in disappointment but that would have made me look like a crazy person so I just settled for glaring at it.The door opened and I knew who it was even before he spoke. I could hear his tentative steps through the rage ringing in my ears. If I get my hands on Ford, I’m not going to stop until I fucking killed him.“I heard what happened.” Andrew started simply. I knew what he was talking, and he knew that, so he didn’t bother clarifying. “What the fuck happened, man? You said you were looking for her. This wasn’t part of the plan.”I turned to his sharply when I heard those words. I didn’t even know when I reached for the closest thing to me,
Chasing His Rejected Luna 238
ATLAS“That is all a good plan, but you know Ford is dangerous. He won’t leave any kind of mess behind without an ulterior motive.” He said pointedly.I cleared my throat and breathed out. Then I ran a hand through my hair, almost tugging at the strands like some kind of psycho.“I don’t know. But we have to think fast.”“Really fast.” He agreed. “Because they have leaked this information to the news and now they are going crazy.” He winced when he finished saying that.I was only looking at the time I would waste because I would much rather be left alone.“And it has gotten the attention of the council. They let out a press statement requesting you set up an emergency meeting before they are forced to use force and make me speak to them.“Where is Ray?” I asked Andrew, thinking he must have gone to check up on Jade before coming down here.How did make this whole thing look believable. It was so good that I almost started believing it myself.“They said they found her in the dungeon?

ATLASAndrew and I both stood, stunned and silent as we stares at the destroyed room. And I didn’t know hen I became so out to touch with reality but I started thinking, maybe someone got into the house and did this. And I wanted to look through the mess and make sure that Jade was fine.The part of that was still in touch with my braincells knew this was her doing. And I didn’t need anyone to tell me she was gone. They were gone. Gone where? I didn’t fucking know, but I was going to find out.“Atlas…” Andrew called my name but I ignored him and turned around, waling out of the room and heading downstairs, taking it two steps at a time.Donald was rushing towards me when I reached the door, but I ignored him, not listening to whatever he had to say, and I got into the first car I saw and drove out of the house. I heard someone yelling for a car but I didn’t stop to even check who it was. I just zoomed off. with no destination in mind, I just wanted to be far away for the house. Far fr

ATLAS“What? Still touchy about daddy’s lack of approval?” I breathed in slowly, reminding myself there was a reason I was here.Jade is bigger than this. Ore important than this. I can be patient and listen to him for a few minutes. It won’t take long for him to slip and tell me where she is.So, I zoned out of his taunts about my father.My phone rang in that instance. I saw it was Andrew, I thought of ignoring it but changed my mind. The call ended just as I was about to answer it. But a text came in immediately.A: Where the fuck are you? I DON’T CARE. WHEREVER YOU ARE, GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE. FORD HAS PUT A PRICE ON YOUR HEAD AND PROMISED A REWARD TO WHOEVER BRINGS YOUR HEAD.You have got to be fucking kidding me.I’m going to fucking kill my father in law. I’ll ask for Jade’s forgiveness after he is dead. The sneaky little bastard.I looked up and my eyes met with Brandon. He fucking knew about this?I glanced behind me and there were a lot of people standing there. Looking m

JADEBefore we left, I asked Ray if there was anything she wanted to do. At first’s eh said no she just wanted to leave eh place but then she liked around the room and I saw something flash in her eyes. So, I stood aside and let her trash the room until she felt better. When she was sure everything was destroyed to her satisfaction, she came and stood beside me, breathing heavily.“Do you feel better?” I asked, stroking a hand down her back. She looked up and at me and nodded.“Yeah, a little bit.” She said through heavy breaths. I nodded, that was all I wanted to hear.I had no idea where Atlas was, which I was grateful for. I’ not sure what I’ll do if I had to see him right now.No one tried to stop us as we got out of the house. Which was in their best interest if you asked me. Dad sent a car but because of the tension between him and Atlas, he said it’ll be best if they park outside and we go to meet them there.Donald was standing outside when we headed out. I thought he was goin

ATLASOne important thing I learnt after becoming the leader of the council is you always need an apartment that can be traced back to you. Some people use it to keep their mistresses. Others like to perform all their illegal activities there. I got one, but didn’t plan on using it.Actually, I did plan on using it. But I wanted it to be a small downtown apartment that Jade and I could escape to some weekends. I had a busy schedule and she did too. Wit the baby, things would get crazy and I didn’t want us to lose ourselves in that. So, I got this, hoping it’ll be our little escape form the real world.And now, the real world is crashing into it. I was fucking annoyed about that fact. Must be why I throw Brandon on the bed rougher than needed. He squirms but doesn’t wake up. Not that I ended.Thankfully, there was leftover rope from when they move in company brought things up. I tied him up to the bed then walked out and I fished out my phone and called Andrew back. He has left a coupl

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
