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
Chasing His Rejected Luna 290
ATLASJade and Feyre went in first, leaving Zade and I outside. I didn’t wnat to leacher alone but she seemed exited to go and have girl talk and baby talk with Feyre. Also, I needed to call Andrew and let him know what was happening here and also if something has popped up in the pack.Ford being quite all this while is making me quite un comfortable because I keep thinking he is up to something and a voice in my head tells me I’m right. This is the calm before the storm. There has been little rain here and there. This for example. It could be ruled out as a coincidence but I know there must be some connection somewhere.“Did you believe him back there?” Zade spoke. He has been quite since we left the dungeon, lost in his own thoughts too. Tough we were probably thinking of different things.“Well, she was within arm’s reach and he didn’t do anything to her.” I cleared my throat, knowing fully well that didn’t answer his question. The thing wit that is, I didn’t know if I believed hi
Chasing His Rejected Luna 291
JADE I woke up to a sharp pain below my stomach, it was so horrible and excruciating that I was sure the baby was coming right then and there. My body was trembling, shaking so badly that even the bed moved with me. With sweat trailing from my face and down my cheeks, or maybe it was tears, I was not sure. I just knew that something wet was moving down my face. With a lot of effort, through the pain I couldn’t explain, I forced myself to turn to the side of the bed where I knew Atlas lay. He was sleeping peacefully. His eyes closed and lips pressed into a thin line. He looked so peaceful that I almost felt too bad for having to wake him up. But the feeling was gone almost as soon as it was there and I reached out and tapped him a few times. He groaned and turned but didn’t wake up. I cried out in frustration, fisting the sheets like it would help with anything. It did not. Trying to calmly breathe through the next pain that hit me, with shaking hands, I tried shaking him awake
Chasing His Rejected Luna 292
ATLAS My soul left my body when I heard Jade scream in her sleep. I don’t know what kept me awake but I couldn’t bring myself to sleep[ for some reason. She had gone to bed easily that night and I was really happy about it. Sleeping has become a chore too her these past few days, so seeing her easily fall asleep was one of the best things. But it barely even lasted two hours before she woke up screaming. She wasn’t fully awake but she was trashing. And I could f*e; her insurmountable fear. It made me almost lose my mind. Not knowing what was happening and only being able to f*el her fear. It was almost like watching your loved one lose themselves and not knowing a way to stop them. I did not care what people said about not waking someone up when they were having. Bad dream. She was moving to hard and violently. I knew the best ting was to wake her up before she hurt herself or the baby. Then she woke up and you could see her relief when she realised it was just a dream. Or rather,

Now, a pregnant shelf wouldn’t be considered endangered but try to explain that to your crazy, possessive and protective wolf. Their instincts gets multiplied by a hummed percent when their mate his expecting. Paying close attention nation to every change in everything they are doing. In all of that, alpha wolves feel this at a higher intensity. The level makes it about a thousand times more than it would be for a normal wolf. So, when that prisoner knelt at my mate’e feet, looking like she was the holy grail he has found. My wolf did not appreciate it. Before I could stop myself, or even consider being rational, I hurled hi at the closest wall, an unhinged growl leaving my mouth as I bared my canines at him. One thing about my reaction is I was not a hundred percent sure it was just my wolf that was feeling that way. “Aha, we’re so sorry.” I just have hit Mika pre

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

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
