Chasing His Rejected Luna 252
JADEThe questions the doctor wanted to ask were routine questions. I’ve been through this multiple times with the other doctor back in Palm Springs, that it pretty much felt like a walk in the park.It doesn’t matter how many times she told Atlas he wasn’t needed there. He refused to leave.“I know you’re a busy man, alpha. Don’t stress yourself.”“I’m good.” The last time hr replied, he sounded extremely irritated I think it scared her into pretending he wasn’t there for the rest of the exam.“Beta Andrew said he is going to come with me to the the results.” I didn’t; know if that was supposed to be question, though it was directed towards Atlas and we both turned to him. He nodded at her. His eyes remming on me.I squirmed under the intensity of his gaze. There was something in his eyes that I could’t explain. Like he had something important to say but a part of me knew he wouldn’t being whatever it is up. The doctor packed up and left with a nod in my direction and an ‘alpha’ to A

JADE“What… what are you talking about?” I stuttered, my eyes narrowing as I waited for Ray to reply. She didn’t just say what I think she just did. “He didn’t.” She only said, her voice breaking as she shook her head. I took in another deep breath in before exhaling then I looked down. My eyes closing on their on. My head was pounding, like a sledgehammer was taken to my skull over and over again.And Ray looked like she was about to have a mental breakdown. I opened my eyes and hugged her tighter, rocking us together. Even though my mind was running with many possibilities, I knew one thing for sure. Something else was at play here. Something is wrong. She wouldn’t be crying like this if it was nothing. Or if she only lied about the kidnapping. I was worried about one thing. “Ray, are you okay? Did anyone hurt you? If they hurt you, you’ll tell me, right?” Emotion clogs my throat, making my voice breaking. Ray met my eyes, hers bloodshot and teary and she shook her head. “Why

JADEThe results did come until the next morning. After we’d had dinner, quite late, Ray asked if we wanted to watch a movie. It was her way o saying she would like company without actually uttering the words so I agreed. After all she said, I know there is a lot on her mind and she still isn’t ready to talk about it. Or maybe something is holding her back. It was all too much and my mind was too occupied right now. With the results and what it may hold.Atlas joined us, though I guessed he just wanted to sit there. He wasn’t even watching the movie, his mind was fully on his phone. And I know this because I found myself stealing glances at him more often than not.The elephant in the room was so big, but we all ignored it. And I couldn’t relate what I felt just then to bliss. Because ignoring the problem. Definitely did not make it disappear.Like the fire in the apartment Atlas had been staying in. It was put out, yes. But he had’t even bothered to go back there. It was like he knew

ATLASI wasn’t a sex addict, not by far. But not being with Jade for just a few days mad eye feel like an addict experiencing withdrawals. And then having her that close, only for us to be interrupted. I could barely focused as I waited for her to come out of the bathroom. And try as I might, I couldn’t get my mind out of the gutter.Imagining her touching herself, fixing the problem we didn’t know was going to be one.Fuck. Couldn’t Ray have picked a better time to interrupt? I groaned in my throat and got up form the bed. The bathroom door opened just as I got up and Jade walked out wearing only a towel, her hair was wet. She took a shower.I didn’t know when I grained loudly. “are you trying to torture me, babe?”She blushed, her entire face turning red before she muttered a small sorry and quickly slipped into the closet. I headed to the bathroom, and the setting was exactly like the one in the apartment I owned. The only difference was the colour, this was light blue and it had s

JADEHe didn’t have to tell me, I waited until he got dressed and then we walked out together, hand in hand. If it wasn’t for his hand in mine, gently guiding me forward, I don’t I would have been able to walk on my own.And it is not even that. The crippling anxiety at the thought of hearing something bad made me want to burst into tears. Almost like he could hear my thoughts, Atlas squeezed my hand. I looked up and saw he was looking down at me with worried eyes. It became clear then that he might not be able to hear my thoughts but he could feel every one of my emotions. And worry and fear were the most prominent.“You don’t have to do this if you don’t—““I can.” I cut him off even before he finished because I didn’t want to think of anything else. If I say no right now, I’ll never be Abel to say yes. And I owe it to my baby to do the right thing. Which is find out if there will be be any problems and if there will be a solution. “I can do it.”He nods and gives my hand another sq

ATLASRay forced me and Jade to sit down as she explained all the reasons why she should be the Godmother. The first things eh said was.“There is no other option. I’m your sister who loves you so much and can’t breathe without you.” Then she ended with. “Please let me have it.” In a sobbing voice.“I’ll think about it.” Jade had replied with, trying hard to keep a straight face.“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” She went of running and screaming at the top of her lungs. I turned to Jade when she was to or earshot and she smiled a little.“You already wanted to ask her, didn’t you?” She nodded immediately and I shook my head, trying to hide my own laughter.We stared at each other for a moment, not saying anything. Not even thinking anything. Well, I olden’t exactly say so for Jade but she didn’t look like she had much on her mind. She looked relaxed, and I could feel her calm energy through our bond. I decided there would never be a perfect time to ask her this, so I might as well d

ATLASJade was the first to look up when we entered the house. Ray was still busy scrolling through the iid she was holding. Checking baby thing I presume. It has quickly become her favourite activity to pass the time. I don’t think I have seen her drop that iPad since we found the gender of the baby out.I nodded at Jade, doing everything to hod myself back from walking over there and kissing her. She got up and my heart jumped, when she was within arm’s reach, I couldn’t hold myself anymore. I pulled her loser and crashed my lips over hers. I got lost in her taste that it took Andrew clearing his throat for me to release her. Her cheeks were heated which somehow made e proud. Knowing I could get that kind of reaction from her with just a kiss.He headed to the kitchen and we followed after him. My arm slung around Jade’s waist. I couldn’t help thinking how perfect she fit beside me. She was tailor-made for me. It is shocking to think it took me this long to realise. I was a fucking

JADEWe spent two more days in the apartment. We didn’t do much, just sat around and enjoyed each other’s company. It was like the clam before the storm. I didn’t know what the storm was. But there was this voice in the back of my head telling me the peace wasn’t going to last.We were in bed with Atlas that night when he said the four words I have been expecting since the second night here.“We need to leave.” It was said in the dark, almost like he didn’t want to say the words. Knowing saying it was pretty much ending whatever peaceful moment we are having here. The real word awaited and it wasn’t pretty pout there. Especially now that we knew there was someone that wanted to hurt out baby.“I know.” I replied, snuggling closer to him, like I wanted to enter his skin.His hand was on my hip, his fingers drawing circles mindlessly. It wasn’t much, doing this, but I always went to sleep craving his touch, he never takes it far. Only kisses me goodnight, until I’m fighting for air, the

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

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
