Chasing His Rejected Luna 282
JADEThe doctor was an elderly woman with a kind smile. She had paused when she neutered the reception and saw me but her expression quickly changed and she smiled. I felt instantly relaxed but some reason, my mind still hooked on that initial look she had given me.She got up and gave Feyre a hug. They seemed really familiar with each other, which made me feel better and welcome.I respected the fact that she paused, offering me her hand for a shake instead of coming in for a hug. But then again, she was a wolf and a doctor. She definitely knows how protective wolves are when they are pregnant and you come within an inch of their bump.She introduced herself as Dr. Anita.“So, what seems to be the matter, luna?” She asked, taking one of the soft cream couches we had been sitting on.“She’s talking to you.” Feyre said with a small chuckle, and I blinked, looking up.She had said luna and I just assumed she was referring to Jade. Sometimes I forgot that was my title too.“Erm, no. I’m

ATLASI don’t know what makes me focus on the doctor’s face as she starts checking Jade. I was looking for any micro reactions but her face was perfectly blank. An untouched canvas. I doubted I would be able to tell what she was thinking even if I had the agility to read minds. Which I didn’t.Still, I caught the slight pause when she reached Jade’s lower stomach. Her mouth turned down for the briefest second before her expression went back to normal. I paused, waiting for her to speak. I swear my breathing stopped too. She didn’t say anything. Just relived her gloves and then instructed the girls to leave with the white bowl she has been dipping her hands inside. “Everything good?” I asked, growing impatient with her silence. I noticed a chip in her perfect armor and if there is something she wants to say. This would be the perfect time before I completely lost my mind.“Yes, alpha.” Her voice sounded normal, but I didn’t believe her for some reason. I could almost tell she was hid
Chasing His Rejected Luna 284
JADEI can’t tell you one reason why I don’t tell Atlas about the whole wolf nomad thing. But I knew I didn’t want him to find out like this. He would be surprised, of course. No one thought they existed and if it wasn’t for the fact that I read about them and now know I’m from a long list of descendants, I would have kept on thinking that. Though, that isn’t what I’m worried about the most. It was what Feyre and alpha Zade were saying. They had an intruder. What did the person want? What is their purpose for coming here?I guess we’ll find out soon enough because just as I had that thought, Feyre spoke again.“The midwife that will check you isn’t here. For security reasons because she’s also a nomad and a healer too. She’ll be here tonight though. Before you leave in the morning, she would be done with her checkup.”I nodded and they excused us while I wen to change. Atlas was quiet through it all. He didn’t look angry. He wasn’t hiding the anger too. I would have felt it through
Chasing His Rejected Luna 285
ATLASI have heard so many things about alpha Sade’s torture dungeon. There were many things that were Sid about the way he goes about his questioning. The one that particularly stood out was the tale that no one has veer made it out.When I mentioned that as we went in, he only chuckled and shook his head.“People say the craziest things.” He added. And that just made me believe there was some truth to it. For starters, the secret search we had to go through before we entered was enough.Even him, as the alpha, he didn’t have free access to the inside. I really commended the warriors that stood by the door, not letting him in just because he was the alpha. He had to go through the same search we all did. If there was one person they seemed lenient on, it was the luna. I saw the same treatment for Jade too.And I wondered if they were just more gentle on women because they thought they were less of a threat of because they could tell both were Lunas. Then I saw how Sade was glaring at
Chasing His Rejected Luna 286
JADEI licked my lips, a small satisfied sound slipping form my mouth as it went down. “Am I really hungry or is this dip the best thing I have ever tasted in my life?” Feyre chuckled seeing the awestruck look I was sure I was wearing. “Both of those could be true.” She said, motioning pointedly to my belly. Not really strangely but it has gotten really bigger in the past few days. I doubt wearing Atlas’s shirts would hide it now. I guess its a good thing we’re not back in the pack yet since we still haven’t discussed how we’re going to deal with all that. We always get… distracted when we’re together. “Do I want to know why this looks like a cozy dream while there’s a man getting tortured in the next room?” Feyre looked pleased, like she was really happy to be answering that question.“Well, I have this thing for watching my husband be his true self.” She smirked. “I thought he was cold when we first met but then he’s all soft now. Trust me, it’s not boring but I do love when h
Chasing His Rejected Luna 287
JADEThe inside of the room looked bigger than when I saw it from outside. And the man sitting, still tied to a chair with his head bent, looked so much worse without the glass separating us. I almost flinched at the sight of his missing fingers and overall bloody body.They really toughened him up. And he wasn’t killing himself. What was he getting out of this that he would take this slow death over just telling them what they needed to know?Unless the person who sent him will give him a much harsher punishment, I see no reason why he is this loyal.Except if he is doing this for an entirely different reason.Feyre clears her throat, the sound pulsing both me and him out of our thoughts. Touch he startles, probably thinking the men were back. His eyes first went to Feyre. You could barely see the color because of how swollen it was. Then slowly, he turned to me, and they widened almost ;like they were going to bulge out.“Hello,” Feyre spoke, her voice calm but also commanding. He s
Chasing His Rejected Luna 288
JADEHe doesn’t say anything for a few minutes. Just stayed watching Feyre and I with a calculating expression. Actually, just me. He just glances at her once in a while but his eyes remained on me mostly. I’ve tried to swallow down how uncomfortable he was making me feel. Fighting the urge to bounce my knees or make other nervous motions. “What’s your name?” When he didn’t look like he was going to answer that, I chose to go another route with easier questions. “Mika.” He said simple. Avoiding my eyes now. “Your real name?” He nodded. Not that I would know if he was lying or not. “Okay, Mika. Will you answer our questions now?” He stares at me again, looks down, before nodding. He barely lifted his head. I would have noticed the move if I wasn’t staring at him.“Okay.” It was barely above a whisper.I nodded for Feyre to speak.“We’re not going to hurt you, Mika. Okay?” She spoke softly. Her voice gentle and welcoming. “And I’m sorry for my husband being a little too hard on you,
Chasing His Rejected Luna 289
JADEAfter Feyre made that declaration, we all paused and thought back on it. The way he was insistent, how he only responded to me while ignoring the rest. He was t there to hurt me.I felt Atlas relax behind me and it made me feel a sense of calm wash over me. This didn’t mean that everything was alright. In fact, it meant that we had more to worry about because they did they care enough to protect me. What is going on?He is the only one that can answer those questions. “What are we going to do now?” Feyre asks, looking from her husband to us. “Talk to him more. For starters, try to see how his mind is working.” Zade said and we all nodded in agreement. “After that, we can think more of things.” He clears his throat. “I’ll get someone to come and heal him rn. Then they’ll release the rest of his people and get them places to stay. But we’ll still keep a close eye on all of them.”“Yeah, that’s a good idea. Now that we have a clue what is going on, I’ll tell Andrew to get started

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.
Chasing His Rejected Luna 301
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
Chasing His Rejected Luna 299
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
Chasing His Rejected Luna 295
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
