Rejected Luna: He wants me back 144 : A Special News
VERENAThis isn't "nothing." This is worse than I let on, worse than I dared to admit even to myself. A whimper escapes my lips before I can clamp it down. Shame burns hot on my cheeks.Carlisle’s face swims into focus as he walks closer to me. “Don’t push yourself too far, Verena,” he whispers and I look up to see concern in his eyes. He extends his hand to touch me but then gets still and retracts it. “I won’t.” I say and nod curtly.—-------------I don’t know how many hours have passed while I stay in the hospital bed. The hospital allows me to use my phone. I scroll through my messages and call records countless times, checking if there was anything from him. There’s nothing. I feel a tightness in my heart. There’s only a message from Elijah that is new. ‘Increase your pack security as well as the security around your house.’ That’s all. He must have sent it because of the threat of Ashwalkers. But something in my gut tells me that isn’t it. There’s more to his message. I t
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 145 : The Royal Court's Order
VERENAMy eyes go wide in shock. “What. R-really?” I ask, looking down at my belly. She nods, her smile turning into a full grin. “However, it's still very early. My tests never go wrong and I can confirm that you are pregnant. But we’d still need to do tests. Why don't we schedule another appointment for a follow-up ultrasound in a couple of weeks?" I am not able to utter a word, my mind completely occupied with what she just said. I am…pregnant? I remember Elijah and me not using protection while having sex that night. Since I am a werewolf now and his mate, the process of me getting pregnant must be faster than normal. Happiness floods me. I’ll have another child. Elijah and my child. But hope is quickly doused by a wave of fear. My pack is in danger, Elijah hasn’t responded to my calls and I just went through an attack. Everything is uncertain. How will I bring a child into this chaos? Because of me, Ezra has already gone through a lot. Am I ready for such a responsibility?
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 146 : An Uninvited Person In The Meeting
VERENAHe sighs and looks at the window, as if hesitating to answer. But then he turns his head towards me. “There’s been rumors that the celestial wolves are the ones who have created the Ashwalkers and are leading them.” He says. My eyes turn wide in horror. “What?! That’s absolutely ridiculous. Why will we do that?” I snap. “I know that too. But it looks like the King has started to suspect you, Verena.” He says, his voice low and lacing with concern. My heart races in my chest. How can they make such assumptions about us? “Relax, Verena. I don’t believe in this shit and I’m sure anyone who knows you also won’t.” He says, “You got this.” He assures me. My stomach churns as I look outside the window. The car rolls before the entrance to the high-rise hotel building where the meeting will be held. Carlisle and dad help me step out of the car and the valet parks the car. We walk through the hallway and Norton opens the door to the room where the meeting will be held. I step insid
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 1 : Second Chance Mate
Verena“Rena, I want to reject our bond and get separated,” Elijah’s voice doesn't hold an ounce of emotion as he sits across from me in the dim living room. I'd been waiting for him to celebrate our third wedding anniversary together. But when he arrived, there was this coldness about him. I figured he was just tired from work, but then he asked me to sit down and dropped a bombshell on me."Why?" I blink in disbelief. He must be joking, right? But the intensity of his gaze chips away at my doubt, replacing it with a growing sense of worry. I know the reason. The one I've feared the most for so long.His mate has returned to the pack.Elijah is the Alpha of one of the most powerful packs in Fenrisa, the Iron Claw Pack. I am his wife and his mate. One would think that due to being fated, our relationship would be a good one. But that’s far from the truth.The truth is, I am his second chance mate. Elijah’s first mate had left him just before the mating ceremony. The reason was unknown
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 2 : Nixie
Verena It's alright. Things will get better. Elijah will change his mind, afterall he loves me—- My trembling hand freezes halfway as I reach for the plate on the dining table. Tear droplets splatter on the polished darkwood, and the sight of our signatures on the divorce agreement brings me crashing back to reality. We're divorced, and tomorrow he will reject me. Not being able to pretend anymore, I break down into sobs. My fingers curl on the edge of the table while I look at the hardwood floor with tears streaming down my eyes. He really divorced me. My relationship with Elijah hasn’t been a bed of roses. When we married, he was cold and distant. But I started to witness the softer, emotional side of him that he tried to hide from the rest of the world. I made his pain my own, and tried my best to keep him happy. He was gradually warming up to me. But then Nixie returned and he pushed me away like those years of our relationship meant nothing to him. My chest squeezes pai
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 3 : Pregnant
Verena “I…um…” the words feel stuck in my throat. My legs feel weak. I can’t believe he started to get so intimate with her after a few hours of our divorce. If he’s this affectionate with her, then it means that he has already moved on. Though maybe he did not need to move on in the first place. “Rena?” He takes my name again, and I regain my composure. I need to get a hold on myself. He’s no longer my husband, and soon he’ll reject me from the mate bond. So I shouldn’t be feeling anything. “Did I interrupt something?” I ask, my gaze sliding to Nixie who stares at me with her big doe brown eyes. Anyone would fall for the innocence those eyes portray, but I can see the malice behind it. Elijah narrows his gaze, and places a hand over his mouth. He does that when he’s curious, and annoyed. “You did,” he replies sharply, and I'm struck by his words. “I–” “Rena, you should remember that you need to ask for the Alpha’s permission before entering his room.” My lips part in shock
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 4 : Developmental Phase
Verena The world seems to stop as I hear what she said. I am…pregnant? “What?” I gasp. The woman nods, her eyes glinting with excitement. “Yes, Luna. I ran a USG scan, and it shows that you are pregnant.” Dory shrieks, “Oh my Goddess! That's wonderful news.” She grins at me, and hugs Drake, who is taken aback by her sister’s excitement. The doctor looks at my confused expression and asks, “Is everything alright?” I stare at my lap. How can I be pregnant? Drake senses my confusion and turns to the doctor, “Can we have some time alone with her? We’ll call you if we need anything. Thank you for the news, doc.” “Um, alright,” she says hesitantly, giving me one last glance before walking out of the room. Dory senses the change in mood and asks me, “What’s wrong, Luna?” “I think I understand why she is confused,” Drake answers, and Dory looks at him. “We all know that Luna does not have a wolf.” Dory’s brows shoot up in realization. “Oh my, that’s right. Then, how?” She looks at m
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 5 : Cheap Tricks
Verena His gaze lifts from the display screen and darkens with disappointment, “Is this your new trick to get me back?” he retorts, and the corner of Nixie’s lips curls into a smirk. I blink in confusion. Trick? “Why–why would I trick you with something like this?” His jaw clenches, and the air turns cold with his icy gaze, “You tell me, Rena. You want me to believe that without having a wolf, you can carry the child of an Alpha?” I flinch at his words. I am not proud of my condition. But it's out of my control. “I know it's hard to believe. I did not believe it either. That’s why I ran two tests to confirm the report. I really am pregnant.” I take a step towards his desk and hand him the file. He flips through it, his eyes going over the report. Nixie leans in to also check, and her face turns pale. It makes me a little happy. This child will be the one to save our relationship and this pack. “I get it now,” he says, staring at the table in thought, and I breathe in relief. “Yo
