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

JADEI thought I heard a car but I told myself it was just from the TV and the movie that I wasn’t watching. It tuned it on because everywhere was too quite, but if you asked me what was happening, I couldn’t tell you one thing.But I noticed movement when I was in the kitchen making a sandwich. I still didn’t have an appetite but I knew to eat for my baby. I paused, my hand on the butter knife as I peeked out of the window. The blinds move, I was sure of that.Was there anyone there? Dad made no indication of someone else living close to us. He said it was safe. That was actually all he said. Somehow the idea of a neighbour didn’t read;;your make me fee relaxed. Was that weird?I finished making my sandwich and went back to the living room. The same time Ray walked in, looking groggy with her mess hair and sleeping eyes that she was rubbing, probably in an attempt to open them.“Do you feel better?” I asked when she plopped on the couch beside me. She made an incoherent sound which I

ATLASI thought I was hallucinating when I heard Jade’s voice. I wouldn’t have been surprised if I found out it was actually that, because it was too good to be true. She? Here?This sound like she you see in your dreams and then you wake only to be thrown into a deep out of depression because it was nothing but your imagination all along.Then I had the knock, I was already by the door, about to open it, when they knocked. And I was sure I was dreaming just then. Because there was no way it was real. I whispered her name and she reacted. It was all the confrontation I needed.Ray was the one in the front, she couldn’t meet my eyes. Because she knows what she did. I was surprised to find that I didn’t hold any grudges against her. It would he stupid seeing as she was just a child. But I could be angry. Still, my anger wasn’t direct at her bit her sister. Him, I’m sure is the one after all of this.After they left, I stood on the porch, still trying to accept the fact that that just ha
Chasing His Rejected Luna 245
JADEI had started dozing off when I heard the phone ring. After finding Atlas watching me, which was’t really surprising if I was being honest. I thought he would come knocking, and a deep sense of disappointment filled me when I didn’t hear the doorbell ring.Ray had taken the other bedroom. The one she took a nap in earlier because she liked the view better. Wonder what my view was? Atlas’s apartment. Rubbly his bedroom too.I didn’t know how I hated floor to ceiling windows until then. Because I could see almost everything, of course he had his blinds pulled up.My hand reached for the telephone, thinning it was dad. But it was late and I doubted he would call by this time. But many things were going on and it was probably an emergency.“Hello?” I spoke groggily into the phone. Annoyed that I was woken up from sleep.One of the things I liked about pregnancy was definitely the ability to fall asleep everywhere and anywhere. The only person that was able to slip through that and st

JADEWe set out early the next day. Thankfully, Palm Springs wasn't a very long flight. All we had to do was just set out early and we'd be there by mid day..This time around, Atlas and I were in one car while Ray and Andrew were in another car. She did want to stay with me so that she would be able to help me out but I wanted her to stay with Andrew.By the time the sun was high in the sky, we had already spent two hours on the road.“So do we know where in Palm Springs we're going?” Atlas asked.I really didn't know. But at least, I felt that we should get there first.If we figured out where we should go the first time, I'm sure we'll figure it out again.“Let’s get there first.”I didn't have to pee as much today. Maybe it's because I didn't eat so much this morning so we eventually had to stop at a restaurant along the way and get some food.Andrew and Ray entered the restaurant after us and we ordered food. I had to take my time to eat because I didn't know if Atlas would want

JADERay didn't think we should waste any more time. The earlier we went to look for answers, we could put an end to the million unanswered questions going through each of our heads.So we used the next day to get ready.Atlas had decided he was coming with me and there was nothing I could say to stop him.“Don’t you want me to come with you? Why do you keep trying to stop me?”I placed my band on his shoulder.“Don’t be ridiculous. That's not it. The reason I'm trying to stop you is because I know that you faced a lot from the elders when you left and that was because of me. It would be selfish of me to ask you to come with me again. I don't even know how long we'll be gone?”He removed my hand from his shoulder and held it.“I don't care. They'll say what they want to say but it still won't change what I want to do. You don't have to worry. You're my queen and you come first.”This man was the best to ever exist.Norman was going to be coming with us too in case anything happened o

JADEWe told Atlas about what we'd found.He listened to us as we sat and narrated everything to him.“And your grandmother never spoke about why she only gave it to her?”Ray shook her head.“No, I thought it was just because she loved her more.”That stung for a reason. Ray didn't look sad but I imagined how she must have felt at that point.“The place where trees are wet giant humans.” Atlas repeated.“It doesn't make any sense to me.” I confessed because I knew he was coming to me next.I brought out a map of the country and placed it on the table.Then I pulled out my phone and searched for all the places relating to trees.As I circled the places that popped up, it didn't make any sense.“Our family doesn't have a tie to any of these places so why would she be talking about them?”Ray came to stand beside me and she looked through each of them with me.“That’s true. It can't be any of them.”Atlas just started at the necklace.“And you're sure you heard her well. Maybe you didn'

JADEWe spent the night together and I'd never felt so happy when I woke up.Waking up in his arms made me feel like a married woman..like I actually had a husband and I wasn't just married in name.We spoke about a whole lot and I just sat there and listened to him while he told me some of the things that I forgot.When it got to the really intimate things, I couldn't believe that I did somethings.I was still asleep when he left and I felt his lips on mine and my forehead, telling me he loved me as he left.“Well, something has you in a good mood.” Ray teased.I didn't tell her what happened. I just nodded.“That’s because I am. What's for breakfast?”She brought the tray around and I stared at it for some seconds, inhaling it and picturing myself eating it. That was the only way I knew if I wanted something or not.The baby seemed to like it too.“So tell me, is it Atlas?”I didn't see any need to deny it.“Yes, it is my husband.”Saying that, knowing that he loves me feels so gidd
Chasing His Rejected Luna 320
JADEIt felt really good to be back home. What I loved the most was my bed.Maybe also the comforting feeling of knowing that I was in my house. It's not like I didn't feel comfortable back there but the fact that it wasn't my home and the fact that there have been two attempts on my life just made me feel like I needed an out.Last night, I slept more peacefully than I have in a long time. It was either I woke up with a headache or I woke up with one pain on my body that I didn't understand.But not today.I felt very refreshed..or maybe it was because I slept till noon.Oh well, I started my day with food. As usual because that was the most important part of my day. Without food,I would be a very angry pregnant woman.Atlas came into the room later to say hi to me. Since we got back, i hadn't really seen him.“I'm so sorry I haven't come to say hi to you. The elders caught me as soon as I got back and I've been working ever since.”Did he ever get rest?“Stop work for a while or sus
Chasing His Rejected Luna 319
ATLASNormally, we were supposed to set out very early in the morning so that we could get to the pack earlier..I hated arriving during the night.But because of Jade, we had to wait till the sun was up. I didn't want to wake her up forcefully so I waited till she was awake.It was almost noon when we finished loading everything up into the car.Zade and Feyre were outside with us.“What should I do with the prisoners?” Zade askedId even forgotten about them. Left to Zade, he would kill them both without caring.“You said you would free Kira once Jade wakes up.”He nodded.“Yes, I will. What about Sophia? What should I do? And don't even say I should set her free. That's not going to work.”Well, I didn't know what to do then.“What do you want to do?”I couldn't say anything.“Do you release her into my care then?”I didn't want to have to take her back with me. It just didn't make sense to take a prisoner from another pack back to mine.“Yes, I do. But don't kill her. Okay?”He did
Chasing His Rejected Luna 318
ATLASJust as I'd expected, we got home late that day.The sun was almost completely down when we entered the pack. Another reason I didn't mind was because I knew that the market would have been closed already and that would mean that most people would have gone home.It would reduce my chances of being seen by anyone.Ray helped Jade go to her room because she needed to eat and rest.I had a hard time getting Andrew to wake up and he ended up falling asleep on the couch again. I didn't want to disturb him either because I knew that he had been doing so much with me gone.He had handled most of the administrative work without complaining. I knew how packed my schedule was so I knew that he had done a lot of work and gotten little to no sleep.It seemed like everyone in this house needed sleep.First though, I needed to eat something because I hadn't eaten all day.Norman entered the house and I realised that I'd completely forgotten about him.“Norman, come in and sit. I'll get a mai

ATLAS“What are you thinking about?”Andrew joined me on the balcony.“When did you get back?”“A few hours ago. I had to get some rest.”I'd forgotten that I'd sent him back to the nomads to find out about the girl.“Everything about her is pretty basic. There's nothing special..she's just a normal girl named Evelyn. She lives with her family.”“Nothing more?”He nodded.“I didn't find out who Anika was. I followed her everywhere. There was nothing suspicious. She's just a little girl.”Well, that was another option thrown down the drain.“So will you tell me what you're thinking about?”I did want to tell him but I was not in the mood to talk.“Im just wondering who on earth would want to kill Jade.”“What are you talking about?”I forgot he wasn't around when it all happened so I gave him a run down of the two attempts.“What in the world? Who do you have in mind?”Right now, I am trying to think.“I don't know. The only person coming to mind is Damien. I know he hasn't done anythi

ATLASMika was down in the cells because we didn't trust him. He hadn't exactly made any move towards harming Jade hut that didn't mean we should bring him into the house and give him a bed.So while he was innocent, he might as well stay where he can be monitored because he can't be trusted.Feyre was walking in front of me because I didn't know where he was being kept.She just stood there and waited for me to come.“Mika.”It was getting dark so I couldn't really see into the cell.There was movement to let us know if he was actually there.Feyre brought out a flashlight and shone it into the cell.He was lying and facing the wall. He appeared to be sleeping.She turned to the guards. “Bring him here.”“Yes, Luna.”They entered the cell and picked him up, bringing him to stand in front of us.He looked so confused.“What is going on? What have I done this time?”“You have done nothing wrong. We have a few questions to ask and we were hoping you could help.”He burst out laughing.
