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

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

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

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

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

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,

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

JADE“i needed to come see him.”“Why?” He collected the baby from me “I told you that there's no need to. Why do you feel the need to come here even after I told you not to?!”“Because it's not just your victory! It's not just your life that he was after! It's mine too! And it's Ray's too! So yes, I needed to come down here to get closure.”He needed to understand that this meant something to me too, just as it did him.“Closure? Is that why you put the baby at risk? How much more closure do you need?”What on earth was he talking about?“Risk? Incase you didn't notice, I was there with him! I was at risk too! I needed him to look me in the eye and tell me why he did what he did to my family.”“Or maybe it's because you're too hung up on the past and you just can't let go. Incase you havent noticed, you're so stuck in the past and you are obsessing over it. Move on!”Well, I'm glad he finally got to say what he wanted to. Now I know how he feels about me trying to find answers. I w

JADEI didn't think it was worth it at first. Going to see the man that had made me grow up without parents and without the concept of what a true family felt like.But after much thought, he needed to know that all his plans failed and I was going to rub it in his face..I'd gotten all three pieces of the stone together and wore it around my locket.It would hurt him so bad to see that in the end, I won.Iniko decided that that was the right moment to start crying and everytime I dropped him back in his cot, he cried even louder.“Young man, what is it that you want? You've been fed and burped and I just changed your diaper so there's no way you could have soiled it again -”I stopped and remembered what happened yesterday so I took a peak for myself. There was nothing im his diaper.“So what exactly do you want?”I wish babies could talk.I guess I didn't have any other choice than to take him with me then. Atlas would blow a fuse if he found out that I took his son to see Ford.Whe

ATLAS“By wasting any more time, we are not doing ourselves any good! Sixth Circle pack is vacant. We have their leader in our custody and I've taken down every opposition in our way, do you think it would be long before we get more interests?”Sometimes, having a cabinet infuriates me so much. It was like I was speaking to brick walls. I didn't see any reason why they couldn't just agree to me taking over the Sixth Circle.It would even be better for us because it would improve our army base, it would make our pack bigger and in general, it would be a plus for us.But they weren't seeing it that way. All they were seeing was the fact that Ford had committed something against the pack and they weren't going to take it.I mean, what better way to teach him a lesson by taking over his pack?“Alpha, we're not disputing the fact that you've gone a long way-”“But you're diminishing my efforts. What's the whole point of defeating him and taking him into custody when I can't even go ahead a

JADERay and I weren't speaking for now.How could she hide something like that from me?“Where is she?”“I have no idea. All I know is that she ran away when we were little. She knew that he would come after her and she didn't want to put you in danger. So she ran away and left your nanny to take care of you. I don't know where she is.”How could she do this?“Before I lost my memory, did I know?”“No, you never knew.”I couldn't believe this. I lost my appetite for the rest of that day and I just stayed in Iniko's room because I couldn't even speak to anyone right now.I'd spent my life thinking my mother was dead only to hear that she was alive and she ran away because of that beast.“It’s not her fault, you know. Your mother ran away to protect you and Ray didn't tell you because she wanted to keep you safe. You have to forgive her.”I didn't blame her. It wasn't her fault things turned out like this. I was just hurt that I didn't know.Later that day, I took Iniko on a walk so h

JADEI was just realizing that this baby has Atlas's eyes and hair and everything!“This baby is rigged.”He turned around in shock.“What are you talking about?”“You did something to make the baby look like you.”He laughed and shook his head.“No, I didn't. It's just a coincidence.”“Coincidence? Look at this baby and look at you. It seems like I didn't even have anything to do with his birth.”“Don’t worry, you can have the second baby.”I scoffed.“You think I'm going to let you have another chance to have photocopies? Big joke.”Iniko was so small and he seemed so fragile.Ray brought my food and she took him while I ate.“I wish my grandmother was here to see him.”She gave me a sad smile.“Me too. She would be so proud of you.I'm proud of you.”I'm so happy my sister was here with me. She was the one who had been by my side throughout and if the child had been a girl, I would have named her after Raya.“Thank you for everything you did. If not for you, I don't know how I would

JADE“I'm going to need your blood as well. Atlas, I promise it won't hurt her. Just a little nick.”He nodded and she dragged the knife across my finger.“Place your finger over the stone and let the blood cover it entirely. Do not take your hand away from the fire.”It was a simple instruction but it seemed so intense.It was almost over. My legs were beginning to feel well and it was getting harder to quiet my screams.“What do we have here?”That voice. He was here.“What are you doing here?”All I had to do was keep my hand over the fire until the stone bled.Ray helped me stand up straight while Atlas and Andrew faced my uncle.“So this was why I came here. How did you do that? How did you call the other stones?”I eventually removed my hand from the fire since we had found them.“I always knew it was with one of you. That stupid old hag told me she couldn't find the other piece but I guess she gave it to you. “Why were all the worst things happening tonight?I was in labor and

JADEAtlas returned later that evening.I was right with what I'd thought.“What have you been up to?”I knew he knew I'd been eating because of the smirk on his face.“You know you don't have to hide from me when you eat right?”Oh, I did.“If you see how much I eat and the way I eat, I don't think you'd want to be married to me anymore.”He burst out laughing.“What makes you think I care about the way you eat? As long as you're healthy and our baby is fine, I don't care.”“But then, what if I get fat? I'll be so big that I won't be able to eat. I don't know why I eat so much.”This was actually a worry of mine. Normally, I ate but my appetite was not this big.“Blame it on the baby. I figure when you give birth, the cravings will stop and even though you do get fat, you're still my wife. It doesn't change anything.”I was really married to the best man ever, wasn't I?“You’re the best.”“I know. Ray says that we have to get there before midnight so that she can prepare everything.

JADEAt this point, I was realizing that the earlier we did things, the better.“I’ll arrange for the sacrifice to happen tomorrow. We need to move as fast as we can before he gets Intel that were here.”I didn't want to have to run with this big belly of mine.“What are you going to need?”“Don’t worry, I'll take care of it. Just bring the stone.”We went to bed that night because we were all completely exhausted.“Hey, are you okay?” Atlas asked when we were in bed.“Yes, I am. Why do you ask?”“You didn't cry when you found out that he killed your father. You didn't cry when you found out that she was not your grandmother. I'm worried.”Now that I think about it, it's true. But it was because I didn't feel like crying.“I don't know. Maybe my body just hasn't proceses it yet. Maybe its because I hate him so I'm not bothered that he's not my father and I never really knew my father so i can't cry for him. I've already mourned for my grandmother.”I just didn't feel the need to cry b

JADE“Jade, step away from that.”I walked back towards them and stared at the pile.“What kind of animal would do this?”I had no idea but I think I was beginning to understand why she wanted us to find this place.This place held secrets.I went back to the wall to look at the drawings and try to understand them.I used my fingers to trace them again and this time around, I heard the voice clearer.“Look at the bigger picture.”I stepped away from the wall so I could see the entire thing. There were more drawings to the side and when I walked up, I noticed that there was a sign at the bottom of it.That sign…looked all too familiar but I couldn't just place my finger.“Ray, come see this. I've seen this before but I don't know where it's from.”She crouched beside me and stared at it for a moment.“I know it's familiar but I don't know where it's from, either.”Andrew and Atlas joined us and just within seconds, they knew.“We know.”They shared a look and it made me scared.“Jade,
