Amelia passed the phone back to Olivia, a pained look on her face. Olivia recognized the look. She still cares about him, Olivia sighed. She pretends she doesn’t, but clearly she does. Amelia shook her head, trying to shake away the memory of that first night. She’d been so hopeful, so sure that things would work out. But it had all gone to shit. No matter now, though. She was in a better place. And she had a company to run. Olivia took her phone and tucked it away into her pocket. She felt really bad for rubbing Gabriel in Amelia’s face like that. She hated him, yes, but she loved her friend and didn’t want to see her hurt. She decided to change the topic to get Amelia’s mind off Gabriel. “Hey, I meant to ask you. Do you remember Lily and Laura?” “Of course,” Amelia smiled. The change of topic worked. Amelia’s mind turned to the two twins from the Solas Pack. “We were in the sisterhood together. During school.”

Amelia and Olivia arrived at the bar. Amelia looked amazing in a short black Vera Wang sheath dress with red Louis Vuitton heels. Olivia was also dressed in her finest – she was wearing a strapless Calvin Klein top with a tight pencil skirt.Amelia was a little nervous as they told the bouncer their names. It had been a long time since she’d had a girl’s night out.You’ll be fine, she said to herself. You deserve this.Lily and Laura were waiting for them inside. They waved the girls over and they all embraced, clearly excited at the prospect of a fun night ahead of them. Amelia took notice of the table. There were at least eight different drinks strewn across it. “Hope you don’t mind,” Lily winked, waving at the assortment of drinks on the table. “I wasn’t sure what you drink these days, so I ordered a few options.” “You used to like cosmos,” Laura asked. “Still do!” Amelia smiled. It was so nice being with people who enjoyed her company.She picked u

Jonathan led the girls back to their VIP seats. He kept his hand firmly on the small of Amelia’s back. It felt nice – strong and protective. And she couldn’t help notice that when they sat back down at the table, he sat right beside her.Lily was visibly upset. She reached for a drink. “I’m so sorry,” she sighed, her head low. “Rick is such an ass. He’s a beta, for crying out loud. He should behave better. He just thinks he can have whatever he wants. It’s embarrassing. For the whole pack.” Her friends were sympathetic. “It’s not your fault and it’s not your pack’s,” Amelia said. “Trust me, I speak from experience. If we judged Gabriel’s pack based on Sophia and Vivenne’s actions – well, let’s just say the pack would have the worst reputation around.” Everyone nodded, especially Olivia. She knew all too well what those two were like. Just then, Laura excused herself. “I have to go check on my band,” she explained. “I still can’

“Can I buy you a drink?” It was yet another man who had come by their table to hit on Amelia. It seemed like all the men in the bar had their eyes on her. Who could blame them? She was beautiful and talented. “No, thank you,” Amelia smiled sweetly at the latest man. He was good-looking; there was no doubt about that. But Amelia was perfectly content to hang out with her friends. They were having a great time together. She wasn’t looking for a date. “Well, mind if I sit down then?” he asked. And he was just about to slide in next to Amelia when he noticed Jonathan. Jonathan was sitting very closely to Amelia. He shot the man a look that said ‘back off’.“Oh,” was all the man said and walked away. “That’s, like, the tenth guy who’s offered to buy you a drink tonight,” Lily laughed. “Aren’t you interested in any of them?” Laura asked. Amelia shook her head. She honestly wasn’t. She had everything she needed right here at this table.

They arrived back at the hotel. Jonathan slept the whole way but when the car came to a stop, they were able to wake him. This reassured Amelia that he would be okay. They arranged for a room next to Amelia’s. He was still very drunk, but he could walk. He was quiet as they walked through the hotel. In the elevator, he wrapped his arm around Amelia and whispered:“Thank you.”“You’re welcome,” she said softly, aware that Olivia was watching her every move. Once inside the room, he made a beeline for the bed and fell asleep again. “I gotta say,” Olivia said, “that man can drink. I can’t believe he drank all that alcohol! That was an insane amount of vodka.” “I don’t know how he kept it all down,” Amelia agreed. “Especially since Rick couldn’t.” “He’s kind of a pleasant drunk, isn’t he. Most wolves I know are assholes when they drink that much.” Amelia nodded. Olivia was right; Jonathan had remained a perfect gentleman despite being really, re
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 22: Brickroll Holdings
Amelia arrived at the office early the next morning. She was somewhat bothered by Olivia’s comments about Rick and the wedding, but the wedding was still a few days away. Best to focus on business right now, she told herself sternly. She only had one month to prove her worth at the company and the clock was ticking. Amelia walked down the hall. She had made an effort to be early, but there were already quite a few people there. They avoided eye contact with her, averting their eyes as she walked past. But given the werewolf’s sharp hearing, she could hear them whispering about her in the office kitchen. And they were not saying nice things… I’m determined to earn your trust and respect, she said quietly to herself. She tried not to let the harsh words and rumors hurt her, but they stung a bit. I deserve to be here. You’ll see… In her office, she took out the document that Jonathan had organized for her. It was a complicated case and she had
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 23: Richard MacMillus
The hotel of Brickroll Holding was impressive, to say the least, even to Amelia who was used to the lap of luxury. She and Jonathan walked through the lavish lobby, past the cascading indoor fountain, and to the front desk where a concierge greeted them enthusiastically and guided them to the grand ballroom. “This place is amazing,” Amelia whispered to Jonathan as they walked through the ballroom. “It’s all right,” he shrugged nonchalantly. She jabbed him in the ribs. “Just all right?” she laughed and he broke out into a huge grin. At the other side of the ballroom, heavy, solid wooden doors were opened and they entered a spectacular VIP room. A decadent chandelier sparkled from above and a mahogany table sat as the centre piece of the room. A man in a posh suit rose from a leather seat when he saw them. He was round in the belly (fat if Amelia were being honest) and very short. Jonathan towered over him as he approached. “Richar

You knew you’d have to see Gabriel sooner or later, Amelia reasoned with herself while they waited for the second course. I just didn’t think it would be so soon. Even though she didn’t particularly like Richard, a trip to the wine cellar would give Amelia a brief respite from the building tension at the table. It was becoming increasingly uncomfortable trying to avert Gabriel’s glances. “That’s a very nice gesture,” Amelia said to Richard. “I’d be happy to pick out a wine for my father.” “I’ll join you,” Jonathan said quickly. Too quickly, Gabriel noticed. But Ricahrd brushed Jonathan off. “Nonsense,” Richard smiled. “There’s no need for a chaperone. We’re just going to pick out a bottle of wine. Continue eating your meal. It’s not like I’m going to eat her!” Richard laughed loudly at his own joke. No one else laughed along. “You and Gabriel can discuss business,” he said to Jonathan. “It’s a good opportunity for both of you.” J

A hush fell over the crowd. Jonathan stood strong. At once, he possessed the air of authority that only an Alpha had. “But you didn’t want it,” Lucas cried, shaking his finger at Jonathan. “You never wanted to be Alpha. You told me that. It’s MINE. I’m the new alpha. Not you.” “I changed my mind,” Jonathan said. Then he looked to Magnus. Magnus smiled at him and nodded. “Are you sure?” Magnus asked. “I am, your highness,” he replied. “Then it is with great pleasure that I introduce to you the new Alpha of Blackseed,” Magnus declared. The crowd burst into applause and Jonathan beamed. True, he had never wanted the role before, but things had changed. His people, his pack, they needed his help. “As the new alpha of Blackseed, you have my word that Blackseed will no longer be dealing with illegal potions. We will find a new enterprise, a new business. We will become a media conglomerate, under my rule.” Amelia s
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 186: The King’s Announcement
“Everyone, gather around,” Magnus said, his Alpha King voice reverberating around the room. Everyone stopped and stared in his direction. Mercy’s news had been most shocking indeed. Magnus knew that Sephora was up to something but without tangible proof, there was no way to charge her. He had planned on launching an investigation into Sephora and her Blackseed Pack dealings, but now that Mercy had come forward, he didn’t need to. He had all the evidence he needed, and he knew where to collect more.The DJ cut the music. “I have an important announcement to make.” Magnus had wasted no time. He waited for the crowd to settle, some in wolf form, some still in human form. This was odd? What announcement? Right in the middle of the party? It must be very important if Magnus was announcing it in the middle of the party. “Something has recently come to my attention,” Magnus declared. “And it is something we MUST address immediately. There is a traitor amongst us.”

Gabriel pulled Mercy back to the party. He told her to wait here, he was going to talk to Jonathan. Mercy nodded. There was something about Gabriel that made her feel safe. She didn’t know him well, but he was an Alpha, and a strong one at that. So she did as she said. Gabriel made a bee-line for Jonathan. He pulled him aside and started talking to him. Jonathan’s eyes grew wide and he looked over at Mercy, shock on his face. Then Gabriel pulled him in closer and kept talking. Jonathan’s face changed and he started nodding along, obviously agreeing with whatever Gabriel was telling him. Then he smiled. The two of them came back to Mercy. “Mercy,” Jonathan said, reaching for her hands. “You could have told me. You SHOULD have told me. You can trust me. I’m one of your best friends.” Then he brought her in for a hug. It felt so good to be in Jonathan’s arms. He was her oldest friend. She had been terrified that he wouldn’t accept her when he found out sh
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 184: The Enchantress
Gabriel and Mercy walked over to a quiet spot by the edge of the forest. “You know, don’t you?” Mercy asked, her eyes concerned as she searched his face. “Yes,” he said. “How did you find out?” she asked, already knowing the answer. “It was while you were playing. I realized, you were enchanting us. Mercy, you’re an enchantress?” Mercy looked away for a moment and he could see the pain on her face. “Not exactly,” she said. “Well, yes. But I didn’t know. I honestly didn’t know. It was Sephora. She kept my secret and then, at the warehouse, she…she told me.” “Your secret is safe with me, Mercy,” he told her. “Don’t worry about that. I won’t say anything.” She looked at him with gratitude on her face. “Is it..is witch blood then?” Mercy sighed. He already knew, so she might as well tell him. “Yes,” she said. “Sephora told me. I guess my mother was a witch. She fell in love with a wolf and they, they had me.”

Sephora grabbed Lucas by the arm and hauled him away.“I’m very sorry, Jonathan,” Olivia said. “This must be a bit shocking.”Jonathan nodded then he shrugged. “Not really,” he replied. “I think I’ve always known, deep down, that Lucas wasn’t her real son. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t change anything. It does explain why he was so awful to me all those years, though. I guess he knew, too, in his heart of hearts. He was afraid I would take the Alpha role away from him. I still don’t want it though. He can have it. He’s still the son of a previous Alpha, right?”“Uh, I just thought of something,” Olivia said then, her face pale. “Lucas is my half-brother.” Everyone let that sink in. Then Alfred broke the silence.“Tough break, kid.” He laughed. “But you know what they say? You can’t choose your family.”“No, I guess not,” Olivia laughed. “But you can choose your friends.” Amelia and Jonathan smiled at Olivia.“I feel like I should go,” Agatha said. “I didn’t mean to cause any trouble.”
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 182: Who Killed the Queen?
Sephora recognized Agatha the moment she walked in. That bitch! That human that stole her husband’s heart with her seduction? What was she doing here? Sephora’s mind flashed back to the day she found her husband was cheating on her was a human! Sure, Agatha claimed that he was keeping her there against her will, but she was lying. Sephora knew it. She was perfectly content in her little love nest. The cottage her husband gave her! And now she was pregnant? If the pack found out, Sephora would be the laughing stock of the entire pack! So she had quickly devised a plan. She would keep the baby and raise it as her own. Her husband could keep his pretty little human. Whatever. It didn’t matter. As long as NO ONE KNEW! But then she’d run away and people had found out. She’d gone straight to the Alpha King himself. Sephora had rejected it all, called Agatha a liar. Why would her husband, the Alpha of Blackseed, love a lowly human. It was preposterous! Most people had b

“Davison,” Agatha smiled. “Come, sit with us.” “Oh no, I can’t stay long. And neither can you. Olivia’s friends are waiting for her at the gala. I just thought I’d check in to see how the little reunion is going.”“Reunion? Dad, did you…did you know about this? That she was coming here tonight?” “Of course. I’m the one who invited her.” “What?”“She looks just like the pictures,” Agatha said, stroking Olivia’s hair.“Pictures? What pictures?” Olivia asked. Something wasn’t making sense here. Agatha told her she had left when Olivia was little. But these two were talking like old friends? “He’s kept in the loop,” Agatha smiled. “Over the years.” “Really?” Olivia asked. This was all news to her. “Yes,” Davison confirmed. “I’ve been in contact with Agatha over the years. She made a huge sacrifice, leaving you. So I made it my mission to keep her updated on you and your life.” “He sends me pictures. And tells me about what you’re u
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 180: Born With Wolf in You
Lucas. Of course. Olivia nodded. There had been rumors that Lucas wasn’t Sephora’s son by birth, which is why Lucas has been so mean to Jonathan over the years. Jonathan had told Amelia that his brother had even tried to kill him once. That’s why Jonathan had left the pack. It was ironic, because Jonathan didn’t even care about being Alpha. He didn’t want it. But it made sense now as to why Lucas was so aggressive and hated Jonathan so much. Deep down, Lucas must have known that Sephora was not his birth mother. Which meant he wasn’t the rightful heir to the pack, Jonathan was. So Lucas had tried to force Jonathan to leave, to get him out of the way, so Jonathan wouldn’t be a threat. This was all starting to make sense now. “It was a secret, one that I swore to keep.” “What happened after Lucas was born?” “I stayed. For a bit. I didn’t know what else to do. But he…he got worse. Meaner. More forceful. I told him I wanted to leave, and he threatened me.
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 179: Agatha’s Story
Olivia stumbled backwards, shocked. “Mmmm, mother?” she stammered. Amelia grabbed Olivia’s arm to steady her. “That can’t be.” The woman looked uneasily at everyone in the wings. “Can I talk to you?” she asked, stepping towards Olivia. “Will you walk with me? So I can explain?” the woman asked. Olivia shook her head in disbelief and turned to Alfred. He smiled gently at her and nodded his head. “Give her a chance to explain,” he told her. “Trust me, I’m just as shocked as you are, love. But she deserves a chance to explain herself.” Amelia and Jonathan agreed.“I don’t know what’s going on, but I agree with Alfred. You should talk to her.” So Olivia left the wings of the stage and followed the woman to the bench overlooking the lake.The gala was in full swing inside and they could hear the music and the people laughing. It was a calm evening, and the water was so calm it looked like glass under the light of the moon. “I know this must be quite the
