Chasing His Rejected Luna 272
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

ATLASThe ten days getaway was exactly what Jade and I needed. Not even to give myself credit but she was glowing more by the second day we were in the island. I had considered food and cleaning up, because I didn’t want to compromise on us being alone. So, I planned for the workers to be coming around the time we wouldn’t be at the resort. That way, there was no way for us to meet with them.Andrew thought I was crazy for booking an entire island just to get alone time with Jade. I think he is underestimating the lengths I will go to for her. I hope his is a good lesson for him though, so, he’ll never doubt what I will do for her.And watching her, wearing that sexy two piece bikini. Her bump shining in the sun as she is laid back, sun bathing. It settled in my. Mind that I would really do anything for her. Kill anyone for her. Go to war with the world first she just gives me the okay to do that.These feelings, that overwhelming need to give her whatever she wants just because see h

JADE“You and this baby are my life. And I will lose mine before I let anything happen to the both of you.”I didn’t know what it is about Atlas wars that made me shiver in fear. And he felt that because he immediately asked what was wrong. And I want to tell him, I really do. But I don’t want to ruin the moment of peace we were having here. Leaving all our problems in the real world. Not to mention how I couldn’t even explain what was going on with me. All this dreams, they made nonsense. Or maybe I was scared they were making too much sense.I knew he wouldn’t call me crazy if I told him. He would try and understand then find a solution. The thing is, I’m the one thinking I’m crazy.“Something is on your mind.” He gently urged, not really pushing but not dropping it either. “If there is anything you don’t like, baby. Tell me and I’ll fix it. Is it the weather? I heard pregnant women feel so hot. I should have picked a cooler location, I’m sorry about that—““Atlas.” I covered his mo

ATLASJade has been acting really weird lately. And I’m trying to be understanding, to not push her into telling me what is on her mind, but is has bee really fucking hard, knowing something is disturbing her and not being able to help. I tried to coerce her into speaking. So, she wouldn’t have to deal with the burden alone. A problem shared is a problem half shared and all that shit.She has been impossibly tight lipped. I didn’t like that. This was supposed to be an ‘US’ time before the baby gets us. Our minds weren’t supposed to distract but it seemed hers chose this as the perfect tike to make a show.I couldn’t sleep tonight. I had laid down for a while and pretended to sleep. I find myself doing that a lot in the past two days. I always wait until she falls asleep before my body will also give up on me. We spend most of the day lazying around, exploring the beach, swimming and making sweet love. And at night, we cuddle and go to bed. But it hasn’t been that way for the past few

JADEAtlas was too perceptive and I knew he wouldn’t let it go, not when he knew something was wrong with me. I should have expected something like this sooner. Then again, he was very good at keeping his thoughts to himself. Even though he was more transparent with them now. I could feel what he was feeling through our bond. Too bad it didn’t allow you to read people’s minds. Them I would have known what he was planning.He usually feels asleep before emergencies. I was used to that. I hadn’t expected hi to stay awake. Like he knew I would wake up.What surprised me the most had to be the fact that he didn’t push for me to tell him everything. It was in alphas nature to be compelling and always want to have their way. And I know he is like that too. So, him not doing it was a big thing to me.He cuddled me, stroking my hair gently, our breathing in synch. I eve forgot about the nightmare. Tonight’s own had been particularly gruesome but I couldn’t remember the details of it. I just r

JADESomething bitter churned in my stomach, a lump lump formed in my throat but I remained casual.“It was’t hard to guess what had happened. I got dressed and left immediately.” He let out a shaky breath. “I’d made up my mind to never see her again, but then she showed up at work and she was crying about things, and I couldn’t turn her down. So I helped her get place to stay. She promised to pay back when things went back to normal. And then we found out she was pregnant, I couldn’t turn her away.”“Were there any others? Besides her?” I didn’t way to know. I shut my eyes. The slight relief I felt at knowing she wasn’t his mistress and that they weren’t having a relationship while we were married faded with that question.You would ask why I was doing that to myself but I wouldn’t have and answer to tell you.“No.” He answered honestly. “Not after I married you. I’ve never been with anyone besides her and that too was a mistake, Jade, I promise.”I believe him. Maybe I was naive and

JADEA sharp pain on my lower abdomen woke me up. I tried to bite through it but there was no stopping the small moan of pain that slipped out. I shut my eyes tight, clamping my lips shut in hopes of keeping any more sounds from coming out. The last thing I wanted to do was wake him up. He had gone to sleep pretty late last night, well, I did too but it didn’t matter.We only had one more day here and I would rather spend it wit happy smiles. I bit my lower lip, hoping the pain would subside. Braxton hicks the doctor had called it. She said it would pass after a few minutes. I’m just wondering why the fuck it even happens. But well, pregnancy is weird so I guess that is a pass for it.“Baby?” Atlas’s voice was croaky from sleep. He reached for me. I forced my eyes open and saw him sitting up, looking at me worriedly. “What’s wrong? Which part of your body is hurting?”I shook my head but he must not have understood what I was saying because he got up and started looking for his pants

ATLAS It seemed like Andrew was waiting on the line, because he picked own the first ring. I doubt it even rang in the first place. “Took you long enough.” He grunted as soon as he picked. Sounding like some angry bird. “Was I supposed to call you on vacation? I’m taking a break from everyone, especially you.” He went silent for a moment and I imagined him rolling his eyes at me. I had the time to chat with him now because Jade had gone back to sleep after the water bath. She gave me a look after saying the pain had stopped. That ‘I told you so’ look. I just nodded and let her get away with it. But I was still calling for the doctor to come and check on her. While I think I know everything one might need to know about childbirth. I could rather my first born child was delivered in the hospital, or at least, the comfort of our home. Where professional doctors could check him and make sure both Jade and the baby are in perfect condition after. I couldn’t do that all alone ion this i

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

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

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.
