My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 30: Serendipity Resort and Spa
Amelia stepped out of the cab donning box store brand shorts, a plain blouse, and medium-end accessories. She looked like any other young, single person at Serendipity Resort and Spa, there to enjoy a weekend at the resort with all its amenities. She checked in, found her room, and then decided to do a once over of the resort. After all, she was there to get a better idea of how the resort operated. She flicked on a pair of sunglasses (not name brand) and a sun hat, with a mental list in her head. As she walked through the lobby, the concierge nodded at her, knowingly. She nodded back. Werewolf, she said to herself, picking up the distinctive scent that only a werewolf emits. Serendipity Resort and Spa was located on the very outskirts of the human community, but still within the human borders. Therefore, most of the staff were human. But regardless of how many humans were around, the scent of a werewolf always rose to the top. And since Amelia’s return to her fa
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 31: Cheers
“What, in the Moon Goddess’s name, are you wearing? Rags?” Sophia scoffed. “As the daughter of an Alpha King, I thought you’d be able to afford nice things. Looks like I was wrong! Ha!” Seriously? Amelia thought, taking a deep breath. Sophia? What is she doing here? Desiree excused herself. “I have nothing to say to you,” Amelia said firmly, throwing daggers at Sophia with her eyes. “I mean, it was bad enough being a useless Luna, purely a decoration, in the Stormfang Pack. Looks like you should have stayed. At least you had nice clothes when you were Luna.” Sophia smirked and then saw that there was only one place setting at the table. “And you’re alone!” She laughed condescendingly. Without anyone there to defend Amelia, it was ‘game on’ as far as Sophia was concerned. “Look at you. Sitting all alone. In crappy clothes. Why, you’re no better than a maid! You may have gained your status back, but what good has it done you? You’re still pathetic!”
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 32: Ecstasy
Amelia knew before she got to her hotel room that something was wrong. Her vision had gone blurry in the elevator; she almost hadn’t been able to find her room number. The hallway lilted as she walked down it and it took her several tries to activate her room key. She walked to her bedroom, her hand against the wall for guidance. “What the hell?” she asked, as she stumbled forward, landing on her bed. She felt drunk but she couldn’t possibly be. Just then, she heard the sound of her door opening. ‘Who’s there?’ she tried to ask, but the words won’t leave her mouth. She turned to see a dark figure looming in the doorway. “The drugs are quick,” he replied. She recognized the voice even though it seemed distant. The man from downstairs – Lucas. Amelia realized with horror what was happening. It was the wine. He drugged her wine. The asshole! He walked towards the bed. She sat up and scooted backwards
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 33: Secrets and Sweet Dreams
“Did he, did he hurt you?” Gabriel asked. fixing his eyes on Amelia. Amelia took a step towards him and he could sense that something wasn’t right. Amelia’s body felt like it was on fire, like every nerve ending was heightened. She shook her head ‘no’ and then reached out to touch his chiseled chest. She knew it was the drug but the drug was stronger than her reasoning. She couldn’t help herself; she wanted him and she wanted him now. She brought her mouth to his and kissed him, deep and slow. He ran his fingers through her hair and sighed. He pulled back and looked into her desire-filled eyes. Without a word, he led her to the bedroom and laid her down gently on the bed. His every touch ignited a spark on her body as he slowly undressed. “My God, you’re so beautiful,” he said. All that was left now were her panties. He looped his thumb into them and pulled them down, off her legs. Suddenly feeling very exposed, Amelia came off the drug a bit. She was
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 34: But You Don’t Love Him
Amelia awoke and felt Gabriel’s arm across her chest. She slowly opened her eyes, still a little groggy from the drug. She turned her head and saw Gabriel’s sleeping face, inches from hers. He stayed with me all night, she thought as she looked at his gorgeous skin and thick, dark eye lashes. Something tugged at her heart. Nostalgia? But you don’t love him anymore. She resisted the urge to reach out and stroke his cheek. He looked so sweet and handsome, there beside her, fast asleep. But you don’t love him anymore. The weight of his arm across her chest felt so nice. You don’t love him, Amelia. You can’t. Amelia looked to the ceiling. She felt protected, lying there beside him. His breathing was easy and slow. He had been so loving to her last night. So kind. She’d never felt so cherished by him. But you don’t… She reached out to touch his cheek. Love him… Her heart yearned.
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 35: Lunchtime Talk
Amelia took Gabriel’s hand and looked him in the eye. “I want to thank you,” she said softly. Her voice was genuine. “For what?” Gabriel asked, confused. “For today,” Amelia sighed. “For taking the time to show me around. I just..I..” Amelia faltered. “Go on. You can tell me,” Gabriel urged. He couldn’t help notice how nice her hand felt in his, warm and comforting. “Being with you today, it’s made up for some of the past pain I felt, when we were together.” Gabriel winced. It was hard for him to hear about how much he’d hurt her. He didn’t want to interrupt Amelia, though. She continued. “I’m so glad we could have this time together. This is how I want to remember us. Like this. Happy.” Gabriel lowered his head and nodded. He understood what she was saying and it hurt. She was right, it was nice to have such a lovely day together, but the way she said it – well – it sounded so final. And he wasn’t willing to
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 36: Time For Play
Jonathan led Amelia directly out of the restaurant, leaving a flabbergasted Gabriel behind. Truth be told, Amelia didn’t mind leaving with Jonathan at that moment because things were getting a little too tense and confusing between herself and Gabriel and she was unsure of how to react.“You can ease up a bit on the grip,” Amelia complained. Jonathan was holding her hand a little too tightly. She could sense he was angry, but she had no idea what about.Men, she sighed to herself.“Okay, we’re safe now,” Amelia said sarcastically. They were outside the restaurant. Jonathan dropped her hand and she rubbed it. “Now please tell me what you’re doing here.”“You’ve been gone for two days. From the office. Olivia said you were here.” “Uh…okay. But you’ll need to elaborate a little more. Why did you come here?” “I heard Gabriel was here,” Jonathan said bluntly. Jonathan had his eyes fixed on her. It made her somewhat uncomfortable. He was always direct, and s
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 37: Sephora Sandtrack
Amelia had barely been back when there was a knock at the door. She was surprised to see Jonathan, his arms full of boxes. “What do you have here?” Amelia asked, her eyes wide as he stumbled into the room. “Oh, you know. Just some clothes and stuff for our meeting tomorrow.” Jonathan set the boxes down on the table and began pulling out beautiful clothes. Amelia eyed the cashmere suit skeptically. “For me? But I have clothes.” Although that suit really is to die for….She couldn’t resist rubbing the fabric between her fingers. There really is nothing quite as exquisite as cashmere. Jonathan seemed to ignore her comment and instead opened a blue velvet box and proceeded to pull out a drop-dead gorgeous string of pearls. “Authentic or synthetic?” Amelia asked, reaching for the pearls. “Authentic,” Jonathan said, handing the pearls to her. Amelia held them up to her neck. Okay, that cashmer

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.”
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 185: Protection
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.”
My Rejected Billionaire Luna Wife Chapter 183: Gabriel’s Good-Bye
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
