Rejected Luna: He wants me back 192 : One goal
ELIJAHI wash my hands in the sink and splash some water on my face. Then I pull my phone out and the wallpaper of Venus sleeping in the crib flashes before me. Ezra is standing beside her crib, showing the victory sign with his two fingers. My lips curl in a faint smile. Rena clicked the picture of the two and sent it to Isabella who then sent it to me in a secured file. The most interesting part is that Ezra made this file secure using his knowledge regarding computer science. My son is a freaking genius. I can’t wait to see them again. A part of me wanted to end this as soon as possible. But I knew I had to stay patient. It's my goal—to secure my family’s future. This picture reminds me why I need to stay focused and keep going. Joshua walks inside my room and lightly taps the door with his knuckles. “You ready?” I glance over my shoulder and nod. Today we are going to put an end to it. We’ll attack Rowan’s castle. I grab my black leather jacket and put it on me. The night is
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 193 : Into The Castle
ELIJAHThe moment Joshua says Cyrus escaped, I hear a crashing sound and the ground before us explodes. The explosion throws us behind and I land on the ground with Joshua and the rest. “They know we are here,” I tell Joshua and growl as I stand on my paws. Before we can take a step forward, more explosions happen, causing more wolves to be thrown back or injured by the bombs that are thrown at us. I howl at the other wolves, asking them to follow me. The wolves turn towards me and I take the path towards my right that leads straight into the forest. Our paths are bombarded, making it difficult to reach the forest but I keep my pace fast. Once we reach the forest, I signal them to scatter. “Make two groups. One that will charge through the front gate and the other through the back. Be careful and keep an eye out for the king’s guards.” I tell them through my howls since I can’t mind-link with the rest of the wolves of the other packs. Two groups are made. Carlisle and Alpha Nova’
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 194 : Command Them
ELIJAH I shift into Rolf’s form again and charge at them. Sharp pain shoots through my shoulder as one of them hits me with a dagger made out of silver and laced with wolfsbane. I ignore the pain my claws rips through his flesh. Irene and Joshua help me battle the men. I throw a few of them across the hallway, making their bodies crash against the furniture and sculptures. A deep growl rips from my throat, mixing with the yells of the fight. But this growl feels different, dark and hungry, urging me to tear these guys apart. ‘Kill them all. They must bow to you.’ A voice whispers in my head. It's the same voice again. I shake my head hard, gotta focus. I'm here to reach the King, not rip everyone to shreds. Just as I pounce on another attacker, a new, eerie growl cuts through the air. It's not like a normal wolf growl, it's cold and terrifying. I whirl around, fur standing on end.Down another hallway comes a pack of wolves unlike any I've ever seen. They're huge, with fur like gl
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 195 : The Alpha King's Condition
ELIJAH He asks me as if my wolf form is capable of answering him. Idiot. Nile’s eyes glaze over as he communicates with his comrades. Probably to take care of the Ashwalkers. Suddenly, there’s a clicking sound and the double doors to Rowan’s chamber swings open. Cyrus’s silhouette comes into view, his clothes torn, blood smeared on his face. His eyes narrow when they fall on us. I look at his hand. He’s holding a syringe. Cyrus huffs and turns to the guards. “Your duty was to kill them. Why aren’t they dead by now? You all don’t deserve to be the king’s guards when you can’t protect him. ” He hisses, his voice hoarse. For the first time, I don’t see a smug smile on his face. But I am noticing something else. He’s looking past them, as if he’s expecting something. Or someone. I shift back and speak. “Good to see you here, Cyrus.” I taunt. “I thought finding you would be a chore. But you made it easy.” I smirk. Cyrus snaps to his men. “Capture them.” The men raise their weapons,
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 196 : Rowan's Revelation
ELIJAH I take a step closer to Nile. “Out of all the people who follow the king, you are the one who has the balls to challenge his authority. If you think we are the enemy, then go ahead and fight us. But…” I look at Rowan. “You know very well you won’t win.” I declare and Nile’s fist clenches. He knows it. They have already lost. With Rowan’s current state and Cyrus unconscious, they can’t do much. “Dammit! Then what the hell do you want?” He spits in rage. “Take the matters to the High Council. Put Rowan in the hospital. He needs immediate medical attention.” I stalk out of the room. “But what about the General?” Another man asks, eyeing me suspiciously. “Cyrus is the one who has been taking care of the Alpha King’s medical needs?” I ask. The men look at each other and nod. I smirk. “Then check the medicines Cyrus has been giving him. Then decide for yourself.” “That won’t be needed.” A deep, hoarse voice gathers our attention from behind and I turn around to see Rowan lift
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 197 : Revenge isn't a celebration
ELIJAH“It does not change anything,” The guy says again. “The royal court tried to harm our pack and did not take any responsibility for the other packs who are under the threat of Ashwalkers.” Hearing him, members of Carlisle’s pack nod their heads in unison. “The royal court needs to take responsibility or we won’t stop our rebellion.” Rowan sighs and I smirk. It's fun to watch him getting cornered like this. —------------------------An hour later, the wolves who participated in their rebellion prepared to return to their respective packs. After getting pressured by everyone, Rowan promised to compensate the packs by increasing security around the packs under threat and also canceled the ordeal. He also promised to help Alpha Nova look for his lost warriors. The royal court will not harm Rena or my pups now. I shake hands with a few ranked warriors of Alpha Nova’s pack. “Thank you for getting to the root of this, Alpha Elijah.” A man says. I nod curtly. “Hope that all the m
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 198 : Victory
ELIJAHThe man’s brows lift in surprise. “Wait…” He opens one of the doors and walks inside. Seconds later, he steps out. “The King has allowed you to enter.”I smile and stride inside. Rowan is sitting on his bed, his back leaning on the headboard. The doctor has seemingly given him another dose of the medicine I advised. His droopy eyes fall on me.“How did you know what medicine would help?” he asks, his voice raspy.I casually walk towards his bed and pull a chair. Rowan doesn't say anything as I plop into a seat that he usually sits on. I cross my legs and rest my elbow on the armrest.“Must be hard to stay conscious with all the pain tearing you from the inside. Don’t worry. It won’t last long. Your wolf will soon die and you’ll be free from the pain,” I taunt, and his jaw clenches.“Tell me. Where’s the cure?” he asks, the impatience clear in his voice.I make a ‘tsk, tsk’ sound with my mouth and shake my head. “Not so easy. Remember how you made a pact with me in return for pr
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 199 : Santa's Gift
VERENA“Mommy, you are supposed to place the star at the top!” Ezra’s yell brings me out of my trance and I find my arm trying to put the sparkling golden star in one of the branches of the fir tree, not where it belongs. “Oh, you’re right. Sorry.” I apologize and turn to my boy who’s grown taller. “Would you like to place the star on the top?” He nods. “Yes.” He takes the star from my hand and I pick him up in my arms to elevate him to the height of the Christmas tree we are decorating together. Just like every year, we are celebrating this year too. But unlike other times, I am distracted by my thoughts of Elijah. He texted me that he’s leaving for the battle. But that was his last text. A sense of fear gnaws at my chest. Is he safe? To be honest, I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate Christmas. But for the sake of the kids, I am keeping up. A year has passed and the only source of communication between us was through Isabella and some secured texts.“Done.” Ezra says and I place hi

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
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 335 : Ten Times Harder
VERENA"You're back," I whisper, my voice barely audible. "You're really back."Ezra smiles, his eyes filled with warmth. "I'm here, Mommy," he says. "I'm not going anywhere."In that moment, all the pain, the fear, the uncertainty - it all seems to fade away. We've won. We've defeated the darkness.Irene quickly turns around and her eyes go wide as she sees us. “Oh Goddess! It worked! Fu—Sorry. I mean hell yeah!” she shouts, raising her fists in the air. She looks no less than a lunatic but that’s how she is.I turn to Venus who just stares at her with her big green eyes, her little hand clutching Ezra’s shirt as she sits on his lap. I kneel on the floor and take her other hand, then kiss it. “Thank you, thank you. You’re our savior.” I whisper to her and cup her little face. She makes a sound with her mouth, having no idea what I’m talking about. I look at Elijah. His head is tilted up towards the ceiling, pushing back his tears of joy and relief. He’s trying to act strong but I k
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 334 : Protection
VERENAI feel a strong vibration at the pit of my stomach. It makes my guts muscles clench uncomfortably but then a warm sensation travels up my spine. Venus stops crying and I open my eyes to see a vibrant light form in the middle of the air. It casts its bright light on the room and reduces Ezra’s dark aura, allowing him to take a breath and relax a little. Venus looks calm too and is staring at her brother with her big eyes. I look at Elijah and he nods. Ezra lifts his head and his face looks better, a lot less pale as he stares at us. But he’s still in his dark aura. Maybe the energy that we created helped to slow down the process. He looks at Venus but does not say anything. I move towards the bed and Venus raises her arm like she did in the kids room when she saw me. She smiles at her brother, her green eyes lighting up. “Veenie…” Ezra whispers. I carefully place Venus on the bed and hold her back. In case Ezra does something, I’ll pull her back. Elijah stands beside me and
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 333 : Prayers To The Goddess
VERENAVenus squirms as she sees him and it hurts him but he does not show it on his face. “Are they still out there?” Maria asks me and I shake my head. “No. But we need to be careful. Elijah and I’ll handle everything. Let's go.” I tell them and we carefully walk out of the kids room. Elijah walks ahead, his senses alert for any incoming dangers. I look around too but Venus gets uncomfortable when I’m too tense so I’m trying to stay calm. I look at her and recall the vision I had. I couldn’t see her face but I felt the same way I am feeling right now. The feeling that you have when you are close to your daughter. Venus looks up at me with her big eyes and I give her a smile. “Don’t worry, angel. We’ll be fine,” I give her a kiss on the forehead and she giggles. We reach the bedroom and Elijah opens the door. The moment the double doors swing open, a strong wave of dark aura crashes on me, forcing me to take a step back. Venus squirms again and looks away, as if she’s afraid.
