Chasing His Rejected Luna 243
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
Chasing His Rejected Luna 244
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

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

ATLASStaying out of the public eye as you would expect wasn’t all that fun. Not that I liked being out there most of the time, but knifing I had the choice to do it was definitely than knowing I should’t. Not I couldn’t. I could say fuck it and march into Ford’s territory tight now. But for peace to reign, I didn’t.Although, there was a best part to if. Seeing glimpses of Jade as she went about her day was the highlight of mine. Ninety percent of the time I just sit by my window and watch her. It made me feel like a weird stalker. Though, that one glimpse that I get of hr makes everything better.By a week, I thought the novelty would wear off and I’ll feel too trapped and want to get out. Alpha wolves didn’t like being contained. I found that I didn’t actually mind, as long as Jade was next to me. So close. Even if she never left the house, or even came outside much anymore.All was going well, until on the eight day, I looked out of my kitchen window in the morning at the time I k

ATLASShe looked up and opened her mouth like she wanted to say something, then she pressed her lips into a thin line and walked away. But I wasn’t going to let her leave.“Jade.” I called out, reaching for her hand. Before I could hold her, she stepped to the side.“What?” She sounded tired.That made me look at her with more scrutiny. I noticed how her eyes were looking a bit bleak. Her skin looked pale too, like someone who hasn’t been in the sun for a while. It didn’t make sense although I knew she was indoors. I don’t know exactly to explain it, but she looked a bit sickly. Almost like she did when I saw her on that hospital bed. Lips looking blue, and her eyes sunken.My feet carried me before I could stop myself and I was standing in her front. Towering over her and reaching for her hand. She didn’t move fast enough now and I take both of her hands in mine.When she relaxes and doesn’t look like she would bolt. I let go of one hand and caressed her cheeks. Her body was hot.“Yo

ATLAS“Are you going to do something about it?” Ray asks again, seeing how relaxed I was while watching unknown men go into my apartment.“Nah, let them have their fun.” I returned my attention back to Jade and switched out her towels again. Her temperature was starting to go back to normal now which I was happy about.I could feel Ray’s eyes on me, questioning me so I looked up and quirked a brow, asking without words, what she want to say. I loved the fact that she was vocal. It is something I have started to see in Jade, who I knew usually bottled things up. There was no need to ask, it is clear as day whose influence that is.“Don’t you have personal items in there? Maybe something you don’t want anyone to see?”I shook my head as I wrung out the towel one last time and placed it on Jade’s forehead. I shook my hands away from the bed after I was done.“No. Nothing important.” I wasn’t stupid to do that. “They are there for one thing, and they’ll find it.”It is not hard to guess B

JADEI thought I was hallucinating and imagine things when I heard Atlas’s voice. Not just his voice, it has become a thin for me to be hearing him when he is not there. So much, that is barely bothers me anymore. But hearing him and Ray speaking like they have known each other for years. That was what made me think out was a dream because it simply couldn’t be real.My body still felt so weak, but I have to admit that I feel a lot better now than when I’d laid down. When I tried to remember what happened and how I ended up in this bed, nothing came to mind. The last thing I remembered was us getting home from the hospital and me getting out of the car. Everything is blank from there.The Braxton hicks were back again. Andean sent the doctor that has been checking me back at Palm Springs. Apparently, we couldn’t fly there for some reason. I didn’t pay attention to what the reason was as I was in too much pain.I got up, with so much effort, wanting to go ad hear what Atlas and Ray wer

ATLASI didn’t understand how someone could look so perfect and still steal my breath while frustrating me to no end at the same time. Unless I was a glutton for punishment, I had no reason to be enjoying this so much.Jade was still glaring at me, but I could see it in her eyes that she was going to do as I asked. That was all I was focused on, instead of the fact that she must be tired and still feeling a little weak from all the poison her father has been pumping into her system. I couldn’t even think of why he was doing that.There was no good enough reason for why he would do that. Even if he hates me, which would be news to me until now, I never had a problem with him before, I didn’t know why he would attempt to kill my child.Then what the doctor said can to my mind. About Jade not surviving if she carried full term. I hadn’t trusted her word, of course, she was his doctor, so there was a point for reasonable doubt. Now, I am quote sure that was a load of bull she was feeding m

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
