Chasing His Rejected Luna 47: Office Guest
ATLASI camped outside Jade’s apartment last night. As much as I hated being anywhere that Brandon had anything to do with. I couldn’t sleep after all that happened and I thought she would be there.If you asked what I wanted to tell her. I wouldn’t know what to tell you. But it felt essential to my existence to see her and so I waited outside her apartment all night. Hoping she would show up.Like a creep, I peered inside hoping I would see her. Though to be honest, I knew she wasn’t there as soon as I arrived. There was no feel of her.She didn’t come back. I couldn’t help the multiple horrible thoughts I had. Thinking maybe something had happened to her. Or if she was off with that damned Harrison or that equally useless Damien.I’ll kill him if he lays even a finger on her.Just thinking about it right now is making me upset.Andrew was staring at me from across the table. His eyes were unreadable. But his annoyance was quite clear.After I waited all night for her, I found myself

JADEI thought I was ready to face him after the breakfast I had with Jaiya. The way she had been pushing me and cheering me on had me feeling like I could take on the world.But the sight of Atlas, even frozen as he was at the sight of me. It was enough to make my palms sweaty.God, why did the man need to have this much control over me?We stayed that way, staring at each other, in shock and trepidation, for what felt like hours. In reality, it was only a few minutes. Maybe three or even two. But a century was what it felt more like.We both snapped out of whatever trance held us that way and Atlas advanced into the office. He closed and locked the door first, then he pulled the blinds.My stomach knotted at the click telling me I was trapped in here with him.I wasn’t scared of what he would do to me. I’m more scared of how I was going to respond to him after everything. The sight of his lips was already making me think of how good they had felt against mine.The urge to bite mine

JADE“No.” I whispered, shaking my head but then Atlas nodded. Acting like he didn't sound completely crazy right now.I really can’t deal with this if he is acting this way. I wanted to get up and leave. Refusing to succumb to the temptation that had led me to kiss him last night. I attempted to push him aside and leave the office. My mind was running as I recalled he locked the door. The fastest way would be the elevator since I didn’t have the key. I had to wait for it to get here too.Fuck. Why didn't I think to stop him when he closed the door at first.“Don’t go.” Atlas backed my path, gripping my biceps and staring into my eyes.Immediately, it felt like I was being put under a spell. I couldn’t do anything but stay there frozen, staring into his dark eyes.He breathed out a soft sigh when he saw I had stopped attempting to leave.Relief made his face relax and he nodded at me, his hands loosening its grip around me.“Thank you.” He breathed out.I didn’t know what to say. The

JADE“You don’t have to look like you’ve seen a ghost.” He chuckled, being his usual self.Andrew was the calmest and nicest person I have ever met. Especially in the pack and not just because he was my friend.I have been a horrible friend to him for the past few days but he didn’t look offended. If anything, he looked worried about me.“Tell me now, how have you been?”The elevator doors opened and he moved for me to go in. He followed me and pressed the ground floor button. He turned to me, as though asking if that was okay and I nodded.“Andrew,” I sighed. “I’m so sorry. I’ve been a horrible friend and I—““Don’t apologize, yet.” He added with a small smirk. “I need to milk this out of you later. For now, just tell me. Are you okay, Jade?”He turned to me, fixing his unwavering gaze on me. I couldn’t even lie to him because he knows me so well. So I shook my head slowly.“Wanna talk about it?” I considered it for a bit.“What’s the time now?” I was already late for work but I had

ATLASI stayed in my office long after Jade left. I knew she had gone off with Andrew.She didn’t notice me following her out to the hallway. I had only gone back in when I saw him. And though I told myself I was fine. Something ugly reared itself in my head that made me want to smash his face against the wall.Jealousy? That didn’t feel right. I’m not jealous of anyone. I’ve never been jealous of anyone in my life. I’m not about to start now.My eyes trailed back to those offending papers.Where had Jade even gotten them from? I knew I left them at home in my bedroom. Since the day she left.I would always bring it out and stare at her signature at the bottom of the page. Then I would start to regret my decision of letting her leave in the first place.Why couldn’t I just let her go? It would be easier for the both of us.I thought it was just because of the pack. And it was scary to imagine that wasn’t the only reason I wanted her back. She could work for the luna. Though, that didn
Last Updated : 2024-05-29Chasing His Rejected Luna 52: Family Ties
JADEThe conversation with Andrew shed light on one thing. There was no way to get rid of Atlas, unless he wanted to leave by himself.Why did he want to stay in a marriage he hated so much? Or is it because I want to leave now and he just couldn’t have that? Some narcissistic part of him couldn't handle that I was ready to move on.I told myself it was better if I kept thinking it was because of his selfish reasons. Rather than any delusional hope of him having feelings for me.Although when I asked Andrew, he said he didn’t know either.“He has been acting really weird of late. So, who knows.” He’d shrugged. Not looking entirely convinced.I wasn’t going to waste my time trying to figure out what Atlas was feeling. I had enough on my plate already. And really, I would much rather be spending time with my father instead.This is the third day after I went to Atlas’s office and came out more confused than ever. And still married to him. I was hanging out with dad as it is the weekend.

JADEJohn and dad dropped me off at Jaime’s place. I have gone back to my apartment. She texted me asking if I was free to hangout. And since my only plan was going to my apartment and staring at the wall, I told her I’ll come after.“You’re making friends in the company? Everyone is treating you alright?” Dad asked after we got in the car.I couldn’t help smiling as I told him all about the people I was talking to. If you asked me a few days ago if I thought I would have female friends. I would laugh and call you crazy.I thought I had an aversion to females. Or more, they had an aversion to me. Because most of the people that I met didn’t like me instantly. I used to think there was something wrong with me.There was nothing wrong with me. It was just them.Jaiya had already made snacks, ordered Chinese food from a place she told me I would love the day after I slept over. And she had three movies which she asked me to pick from.“I’ve never had a female friend like this.” I told he

JADE“WHAT?!” Jaiya looked confused and I nodded, working my bottom lip with my teeth. “B-but how is that even possible? You were married. For years!” She squealed the last art.I didn’t know if to laugh or cry for myself. It really was pathetic. For the lack of a better response, I only shrugged.“Wow,” she muttered under her breath. “That’s really crazy. Who could be married to you and not try anything?”Again, I shrugged.“We have to fix that.” She said to herself, still looking lost and confused.“We don’t have to.” I reassured herWith all that is going on. The last thing I wanted was to add a man to the equation. Any man for that matter.“No, but—“ she pursed her lips, her eyes widened like she was still trying to wrap her head around it.“How about this?” She asks after a while. “When we go out tonight, have a little fun. Just like we planned.” She rushed to add when I opened my mouth to speak. “You don't have to do anything with anyone, really. Just talk to people. I’m sure yo

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,
