Rejected Luna: He wants me back 150 : The Fate Against Us
VERENAI want to do nothing more than run my finger through his inky locks, grip his hair, and crush my lips into his. My wolf wants to be close to him. But his gaze demands that I turn those desires into pure hatred. That’s how we confess our love today. Through hatred.“Listen carefully,” he whispers, his voice low and dangerous. “I have never, ever loved you. I hate you. Always have, always will.”All I can hear is…I can never hate you. I love you. Always have, always will.His words make a jolt run down my spine, and my eyes sting with tears. I don’t want to cry; I don't want to show him how I feel. But a tear slides down my right eye.I take a deep breath and slap him. From the corner of my eye, I notice Cyrus smirk. Good. This slap has sealed the deal. Now he totally believes that we are separated.Elijah snaps his head, his eyes digging holes into me.“I hate you!” I roar, the tears falling down my eyes. They are meant to show how broken I feel, but they are actually out of gui
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 151 : The Truth Behind The Act
VERENAHis gaze falls on the walking stick. “What happened to your leg?” His voice holds concern, but I feel the urge to scoff at it.“An accident,” I say, not wanting to go into the gruesome details. The details that he already knows very well.His eyes flicker with something I don’t understand. “Take care of yourself. I’ll pay you a visit to check on you,” he says, and my stomach churns. Is it his way of saying that he’ll inspect me and my pack? Fuck!“Sure. It will be an honor to have you as my guest,” I manage to say, swallowing the curses that I want to throw at him.I leave the hotel and get inside my car with Dad and Norton. Carlisle has already taken the back seat and is staring out of the window. He notices my presence as the seat dips beside him but does not say anything.Norton gets behind the wheel and starts the car. Once we are far from the hotel, Carlisle looks at me.“What was that, Verena?” he asks, his voice almost demanding.“I don’t want you to fall into this mess,
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 152 : Love That Idiot
Dory’s face hardens. “Four years ago, when you were here, the Alpha’s brother, Theon, had threatened to take over your pack. At that time, the Moonlight Pack’s security was extremely weak. Alpha Elijah had no choice but to ask for help from the King. The King said that he’ll protect your pack from Theon’s attacks but in return…” she hesitates, her voice choking. I swallow the lump in my throat, feeling like I know the answer. “In return, he wanted to rule our pack and make Alpha Elijah turn into his puppet.”I take a sharp breath, feeling like someone has pulled the rug from under my feet. He took over Elijah’s pack, so that means Elijah is no longer in control of his pack.My heart tightens in my chest. He sacrificed his position just to protect me. The Iron Claw pack was his dream. I had seen him work diligently to bring it to where it is now. He shed his blood and tears so the pack could flourish and become the strongest in Fenrisa.Then he gave all that up. Tears sting my eyes as I
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 153 : Trusting Him
VERENADory nods slowly. “Yes. They already are.” She looks at the door with fear in her eyes, as if worried that someone will hear us.“Don’t worry. The doors are soundproof,” I mutter and place my hand on hers.“I don’t care if they hear us. I’ll put them in their place,” Drake growls, showing his warrior side.I shake my head. “Don’t even think about it. You can’t underestimate the King’s men. They are really strong,” I warn him as I remember how brutally Serena was attacked.Then, sadness grips me. Is this how we are going to live now? Elijah and I separated from each other, always in fear? I feel a strong pain in my chest. Honestly, death seems like a better option than staying away from him.“But don’t worry, Luna,” Dory says again, gaining my attention. Her face is calm but firm as she adds, “The Alpha has a plan. For now, you both need to act like you are separated. It will be hard, but you both will have to communicate in secret. Don’t text each other or call. Since Drake and
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 154 : Daddy?
VERENAI smile. It was honestly impressive. That impassive, cold look…Only a beast like Elijah can ace it and fool even the smartest man in the room. Dad looks at me. “So…what do we do now? You have broken your alliance with Elijah…” he rolls his eyes, “Fake breaking the alliance. But if we are not careful, the King’s men will catch onto our act.” I nod, agreeing with dad’s concern. I recall Cyrus saying he’ll visit me, by which he meant he would investigate my pack. I have to be prepared for that and not let him see through our plan. My face hardens as I look ahead. “We’ll head onto the next plan…” —---------------------------“Mommy, where are we going?” Ezra asks from the backseat of the car. I peek at the rearview mirror and see him hold his action figure while sitting beside Maria, a frown on his little face. I smile, keeping my voice soft. “To your school. It's your first parents teacher meeting,” I tell him. But his frown only deepens. “But my teacher did not say anything
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 155 : Buried Emotions
ELIJAHEzra looks at me with his wide eyes, his hands trembling slightly as he calls me out. “Daddy?” A rush of warmth spreads through me when I hear him call me that. My heart beats rapidly inside me. I can’t believe what I am hearing. Goddess knows how much I have yearned to hear him that way, to acknowledge me as his father. I don’t even know if I deserve it. Miss Nadia looks at Rena, “I’d leave you all here. The walls are soundproof and this place is highly secured and hidden. So you don’t have to worry about anyone finding out except us.” She says, her voice professional like she has been doing this for ages. Rena nods at her. “Thank you, Nadia.” Nadia bows at her and then leaves with the man who was guarding the door. After the meeting, Rena communicated with me through the twins, telling me to meet her at Ezra’s kindergarten. I used a disguise, this wig, beard and glasses, also masked my scent so no one knows I am here. Watching Ezra stand with Rena, seeing his little ang
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 156 : Most Precious
ELIJAH“Of course. You being here already helps me a lot,” I say and lean into his touch, then place a kiss on his hand. “Will you tell Buzz Lightyear to lend me his powers when I’m not here?” I ask, and he nods. I smile and ruffle his hair. “Then, we’ll definitely beat those bad guys.”I look over him and see Rena standing, tears falling down her eyes. I stand on my feet and pull Ezra into my arms, holding him with one arm. Then I look at her and extend my other hand towards her. Rena wipes her tears and walks towards us. I wrap my arm around her back as she leans onto my chest and hugs my waist.Rena’s scent wafts to my nose, and I inhale it, feeling it calm my wolf who has been craving her for so long. I missed her so much.I kiss Ezra’s head before I place a kiss on hers. The two most precious people in this world. My family. When I became the Alpha, I didn't believe in ever having a family. My own family was twisted and cursed, so I didn’t know what a happy, normal family felt lik
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 157 : Promise of a Hot Punishment
ELIJAHHer heart skips a beat and I let go of her waist. I gently hold her hand and make her sit on the couch behind her. Then I kneel on one leg and run my hand down her right leg which was injured due to the attack. My jaw clenches and I feel the rage bubbling under my skin. I’m going to break Rowan’s legs. Make sure he turns into a cripple for his entire life. If he gets to live, that is. “Does it hurt?” I lift my head and watch her stare at me with desire in her eyes. She blinks, as if my words bring her out of her trance. “Huh? Uh, no it doesn't hurt like before. Just a little when I’m walking for too long.” I would have smirked at her reaction, knowing that she craves me as much as I do. But I have more important matters to focus on. I grit my teeth. “You could have canceled the meeting, Rena. You did not have to bear so much pain.You knew no one was coming,” I say, restraining myself from punching something. I had warned Rena through Dory that the King probably had ordered

Rejected Luna: He wants me back 344 : A Huge Hole
VERENATwo months later…“You people have some audacity to see me after what you did,” I say with a stern face as I look at the people who are sitting in the meeting room. Their faces are etched in my head. The celestial wolves who did not help us during the fight. I am sitting at the head of the table, a sense of power coursing through me. I am dressed in a sleek, black pantsuit, the fabric soft against my skin. A crisp, white shirt complements the ensemble, and a delicate silver necklace adorns my neck. My hair, styled in a sleek ponytail, frames my face perfectly. I look confident, prepared, and ready to lead.But I’m dead from the inside. Still healing from everything that has happened and the loss we faced. Their heads are lowered in shame. They know what they are and what they did. Absolute cowards. If they had lended their hand, then we might have won the battle faster. I wouldn’t have lost my dad and so many of my precious warriors. They weren’t as strong as guardian celesti
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 343 : We Won
ELIJAHTheon scoffs. “Happy, my ass! You know what’s going to truly make me happy? All of your deaths! I’ll become the next shadow Alpha and end every single one of you. That kid of yours..I’ll kill him too if he gets in my way!” He growls. My eyes darken. “You shouldn’t have said that,” I say in a low, dangerous voice and stalk forward. Theon braces himself for my attack but he is taken aback when I approach him at lightning speed and rip his head off. He gets no time to fight and drops dead on the ground. I watch him with a look of sorrow in my heart. There was no saving him. “I’m sorry for not being there for you.” I tell him though I know he won’t hear me. I wish I could change things in the past. I would have built a new relationship with him, one where we supported each other as brothers and didn’t go after each other’s throats. VERENARegef and I battle each other using our celestial powers. I’m stronger than him in terms of my position as the Luna Guardian. But he has years
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 342 : A Brother's Pain
ELIJAHI step before Rena and throw my dark energy towards Regef to neutralize the attack that he did. Regef’s wolf growls at me in anger and charges straight at me. But there’s Theon beside him who follows suit. I’d have to deal with both of them. I am about to charge at Regef when I feel that stabbing pain within my body again. Umbra is trying to gain control over me again. “This is fruitless,” I hear a voice in my head and realize that it's Regef’s. Is he mind-linking me through the bond we have as Umbra’s cult? “You should stop going against your fate. Your body won’t be able to take the resistance as it is built for dark powers. Fighting against your nature will only get you killed.” I grit my teeth and close my eyes to control the pain. I can sense Theon lunging at me but a bright globe of light collides against his body and throws him away. Regef stops and looks at Theon laying in the ground. I look beside me and see Rena step forward. She looks at me and places a hand on
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 341 : Her End
VERENAI shift back and just stare at her in silence, watching her fumble with her words. Her lips are quivering and she’s sweating profusely, her midnight blue hair sticking to her forehead. She literally copied my hair color and my hairstyle. When she realizes the coldness in my gaze, she stops and starts yelling.”You can’t kill me! Dad will end you. I did what I did and I will do it again with you!” her eyes go round as she looks up at me with a psychotic look. She starts laughing and I know that there’s no humor or happiness to the laugh. “You deserve it all! You are fucking bitch who was born in a wealthy family and was accepted. You have no idea what it feels like to be unwanted. So…so I did all of this. You needed to feel what I felt too. And I succeeded!” she throws her head back and laughs even harder. “I succeeded in ruining your life! After this battle, you’ll have nothing left for you. Everything will be taken from you. Your Elijah, your kids, your pack…everything! So go
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 340 : Relishing Her Fear
VERENAA warm sensation takes over my body and I feel a tingling sensation in my spine. The celestial light builds within me and I aim it at the Ashwalker wolves. They take a step back as if they can sense that power within me. Serena opens her mouth and light erupts from it. It's directed at them and the moment it hits the ground, a huge explosion takes place. I hear lots of howls and the light blinds everyone in the field. When it fades, a huge crater is formed on the ground and there’s no sign of the Ashwalker wolves and the cloaked men who stood with them. The impact was so huge that it got everyone’s attention. Nixie stares at it with wide eyes. “What the fuck,” she says as she measures the depth of the crater I created. “Damn! That’s so badass!” Dory exclaims and I smirk. We approach Joshua and Irene who also are staring at the huge crater. They turn towards us and Dory steps forward, shifts back and kneels down. Joshua looks at me and I see concern in his eyes. “Rena…Irene
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 339 : The strongest weapon
VERENAI run towards the main battlefield and Nixie’s petite figure comes into sight. She’s standing against my men, guarded by the Ashwalker wolves and a few of Umbra’s cult men. I watch in horror as Nixie, her eyes filled with a malicious glint, hurls a gas bomb towards Irene and Joshua. The bomb explodes, sending a toxic cloud billowing into the air. Irene and Joshua cough, their faces contorted in pain. Joshua, with his enhanced senses, manages to shield himself from the gas, but Irene, still recovering from her previous injuries, is more vulnerable. I can see her coughing violently, blood staining her lips.“Irene,” Joshua goes to her and holds her while she drops to the ground, the coughing not stopping.Nixie grins as she looks at them. “You used to call me Dumpster Barbie, right? Now what, huh? Can’t speak?” she taunts and then pauses. “Oh wait! I totally forgot to say this. This gas has a special role, you know? It can take away the vocals of the person it affects. Permanen
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 338 : Fighting The Love Of His Life
VERENAI grit my teeth and clench my fist in anger after I shift back. Dad shifts back to his human form too and glares at me, standing protectively before mom. “Dad? Are you seriously going to protect her? You know who she's working for,” I ask him, my eyes pleading for him to see the truth in this situation. She’s not our ally. His face contorts in anger as he hears my words and he growls at me. “I trust her. There must have been some misunderstanding.” His eyes flash and I realize that he’s not in himself. It's the mate bond that’s making him say this. My dad isn’t as strong as I am when it comes to staying away from our mates. His love for mom will destroy him. “Oh yes it is, Ray. He’s making me do these things,” Mom says and makes this sad face. I wonder who’s better at acting innocent—Nixie or her? Oh wait, I forgot that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She proves she’s her mother. I look at Charlotte and mind-link her. “You are being a total bitch! You used my fat
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 337 : Her over me
VERENABut my words fall on deaf ears. He lunges at me, his claws outstretched. I dodge his attack, barely escaping his grasp. I'm filled with a mix of fear and anger. How can he hurt me? How can he turn against me after all this?I draw upon my celestial power, a surge of light coursing through my veins. My eyes glow a brilliant white, and my form shifts, becoming more powerful. I face him, my stance defiant."Elijah, stop!" I shout, my voice filled with authority. But he won't listen. He's lost in the darkness, a creature of pure instinct.We circle each other, our eyes locked in a battle of wills. The air crackles with tension as we prepare to strike. The battle between the Luna Guardian and the Shadow Alpha has begun. A battle that has occurred through different generations and timelines. I don’t want this. But do I have a choice? And what will we do if we both die? I look into his eyes, and see no sign of him. Is he gone? Did Umbra take him from me? I steel myself for what I
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 336 : Don't Fight Alone
VERENAMaria walks towards me. “What happened?” She asks with a frown on her face. “It's mom. She’s here.” I say and Maria’s eyes turn wide. “Charlotte is here? Oh my Goddess!” She rests her hand on her chest and looks worried. I can sense the conflict arising within her. Mom was Maria’s best friend. I’m sure she still cares about her. I look at Irene. “We need to go out there. I’m sure the others will need us.” Irene steps forward. “Of course. I’d be so glad to go out there and kick some—” she halts and looks at the kids. Ezra gives her a sly smile. “Aunt Irene is saying some adult words again.” He makes a tsk sound with his mouth and shakes his head as if disappointed. He does this whenever Irene has a slip of tongue. “Shut up. I didn’t say anything. I only said that I will kick them.” She argues and I roll my eyes. She’s seriously fighting with a kid. “Rena, someone should stay with the kids to protect them,” Maria tells me as she holds my arm. She looks at Elijah who growls
