Chasing His Rejected Luna 265
ATLASThe boring ass hearing started like I expected it to. They made some allegations that made me want to ask them to tell me more because it was just that interesting to hear how creative they are. Though, some of the accusations were lacklustre.Of all things, why would I be taking taxes for myself? I had enough money that even my tenth grandchildren could live recklessly and not have to work a day in their lives. So, that was just simply absurd.Jade was more worried about all of this than I was. So I made sure to keep my hand on her thigh. Hoping it would help her relax. She placed her hand over mine, intertwining our fingers. And I swear I almost smiled so big, the people here would he wondered what the fuck was going on with me. I couldn’t explain the happiness that was coursing through me because she kept our hands intwined. When she could have removed it at any point.And it isn’t anything about it but the fact that she wanted to touch me. She liked touching me. She didn’t m

JADEI never knew watching a man take charge could be so sexy. Atlas, not raising his voice but still commanding the attention of every single person in the room made me want to drag him somewhere and just get on my knees for him and worship him until he looks down at me with those fiery eyes.And not just that, but him standing up for Ray. I don’t think she expected that too because I saw the look of shock pass through her eyes when he spoke. After he’d said to get the protesters, he asked her, loud enough for everyone to hear, if she had more to say. Only when she said no, did he let the rest of the people to speak.The annoying man that looked like he swallowed an entire human started speaking again. “This is a hearing for the crimes you have committed—““Until you have concrete evidence and not something you typed out, a third grader could have done a better job, by the way.” He said pointedly with a look of disgust in the man’s direction. “I am still the leader and what I say goe

JADEIt is two days after the chaotic trail that somehow ended up being a standing ovation for Atlas. I’ve never felt as much of a luna s I did then. Standing beside him, seeing him be the best version of himself. The best part of it all? His eyes stayed on me through the entire thing. Like no one and nothing could take his attention away from me, and that and even feel even more special. We came back home and made love for half of the night.The night couldn’t have ended better.It has been peaceful since then. But there is this nagging in the back of my mind, something telling me that this peace wouldn’t last long. I try not to dwell on that. Because if something bad is actually going to happen,. I will worry about it when it gets here. For now, I just want to be happy.Why was that. Hard motion to come by? Happiness shouldn’t be this hard of a thing. At this point, I’m thinking it is a concept that doesn’t even exist.But then, what will I use to describe the emotions I feel whenev

ATLASWe might have sorted thing out with the council and won, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. The main problem right now is going to be Ford and I know he is biding his time, because that is just the kind of person he is. Whatever shit he is planning to do, I hope for his sake, he does it to me and no Jade.Because you might think she is his daughter and he’ll not hurt her. But there is something in that man’s eyes that tells me he’ll destroy everything and anything, including his own daughter to get to his end goal.But what the fuck is his end goal.“Can you try and pretend you’re even here with us?” Andrew nudges my shoulder, giving that unimpressed father look. I shook my head and cleared my throat before apologising for getting lost in my thoughts.I came down for training after a while of not being active. My wolf was restless and it would begetter if I let him out in the wild for some time. But since I’ve men here, I’ve been more in my head. It as why I said I’ll just

JADEI didn’t know I had anxiety of the pack members not wanting me back until I was on my way down the stairs. I had started slowing down, without realising. Ray had noticed and asked if I was okay. She thought I was in pain. I didn’t want to worry her so I braved it and forced a smile then quickened my steps. I kept going myself pep talks while were on the way.The welcome I got was not something I ever even envisioned. It took me completely by surprise but I loved it. I appreciated it. Knowing how much the guys missed me on the training grounds meant a lot. It meant that they noticed me. They were aware of my presence and it made a change in their lives.They were all so happy, I had to stop and chat with the a little. Even though Atlas’s gaze was burning a hole on my forehead. And it was taking everything in me not to give in and just get lost in his eyes. When I finally got away, I finally got to them. He and Ray were in deep conversation but they stoped talking when I got there.

JADESpending time with Atlas, making plans about the baby and the pack, I wish it would never end, really. I understood what the good life was and why people never wanted it to end because I didn’t want this to end.Life has been steady since the whole thing with the council. Really, all we do is train, talk about the baby, talk about pack issues, spend some time with Ray and sometimes Andrew, or the both of them at the same time. Usually when we were going for our evening walks. Oh, how I loved those even walks. Though, to be completely honest, I loved it more ehe it was just Atlas and me.I was seeing an entirely different side of him now. He was more cautious, patient and very attentive to my needs. He sometimes even knew what I wanted before I could ask. And it has become, ‘if I want it, I get it’ kind of thing. Because he always makes sure I get whatever I want.Like last night, when we were about to sleep, I told him I was carving fruit juice. He said there should be some in th

JADEThe island Atlas chose for us to come to is on the outskirts off Hawaii. Pretty deserted which was just perfect. But being who he easily, although I understood that we had society threats now. Atlas booked the entire island so we could be alone.There was food and everything we might need for the next ten days. And yes, he decided ton ten days although nobody was surprised.“When you said you wanted alone time, you really meant it.” I said, looking around the beautiful resort we were staying in.“We have seen enough people to last us a lifetime. I think we deserve this.” Well, I couldn’t’t exactly argue with that logic. I felt him wrap his around me, and I place my hand over his, loving the feel if him all wrapped up around me.Atlas being Atlas didn’t let the moment last. He hoisted me up in move and carried me bridal style, ignoring all my moaning and groaning for him to let me down.“I’m sure you were there when doctor said I should be moving more and exercising.” I muttered.

JADEAtlas made a simple dinner before we went to bed, both tired and exhausted from the flight. Especially him because he has been working nonstop the few days before out trip. He positively posed out the moment his head hit the pillow while it was a bit harder for me to fall asleep. At first, I couldn’t find the perfect position. And after that, my mind was just too aware. And the thing is, I couldn’t tell you what I was thinning about. Just multiple hazy thoughts.I felt something touching me, and tried to slap it away. It felt cold and I really didn’t like that. My eyes fluttered but they didn’t fully open. I must have fallen asleep after staring at the wall for hours.Rolling on my other side, now snuggled up next to a warm body, I tried falling back asleep again, forgetting what had woken me up in the first place. I’d started drifting off, then I felt it again. Something cold, sliding up my arm.This time, I sat up with a start. I must have made some kind of noise because I felt

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

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
