Rejected Luna: He wants me back 219 : The Green Moon
ELIJAH I can’t believe this. Dad? “How?” I ask, my voice betraying the composure I try to keep in front of him. He was dead. He died in an accident involving rogues when I was fifteen. Dad walks towards me and I take a step back, afraid that he isn’t real. Is this a part of my hallucination too? Am I sick? “It's been a long time. You’ve grown and taken over the throne,” Dad’s voice grounds me back to reality. “You–you are not real.” I hiss, narrowing my eyes at him. “You were dead.” “I’m as real as you are. No need to doubt it,” He says, his stoic face bringing back memories of childhood. “Then how the fuck are you here?! You were dead! Or did someone dig your grave and revive you?” I spat, worried that my assumption might be true. With how things have been, Rena finding out her supposed dead mother is alive, Nixie and Theon alive, anything can be possible. People are just dying and coming back to life, making a joke out of death. “I never died,” He replies nonchalantly, as i
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 220 : Killed Her
ELIJAHWhatever nonsense he just spat makes my head hurt. Green Moon? I yank his hand away but he doesn't seem surprised by my action. “You think I’ll believe this shit? You pop out of nowhere and feed me some lame story? If I was born for whatever the fuck you said, why didn’t you tell me when you were with us. Why come out and reveal this to me now? This doesn't sound like something that’s simple.” He sighs. “Everything has a time of its own. It's the Lord who decides when things are meant to happen. Your powers needed their time to come to the surface. Now they are and I know you can feel it inside you.” His voice drops, sending a chill down my spine. “A power that you know is way greater than anyone else’s. One that makes you superior to the rest.” “All I feel is a headache from your fucking words!” I spat, a strange kind of rage bubbling inside me. I don’t know why I feel this angry. Is it because of the bad memories that I have tried to push behind? The ones this man gave me.
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 221 : Can't Stop Me
ELIJAHI shake my head. “I remember mom dying. But I didn’t…I can’t do it.” My voice is shaky. Am I doubting myself? Did I really do it? His facial muscles contort in a sharp expression. “You will have to accept your true nature. Your hands are painted with blood. Blood of your mother. You are a killer and the guardian of the Ashwalkers. Accept it!” “No!” I roar, and the earth shakes beneath my feet. Dad looks around. “You sense it?” He asks me, his eyes lit up with amusement as he watches the trees shake. “This is your potential. You have no idea how strong you are. What you are capable of. Accept your destiny and Lord Umbra will bless you with everything you want.” I scoff. “Do you take me for a fool? I see it now. You are spitting all these lies to make me believe I’m something that I’m not. I know what I’m capable of. Killing my mother isn’t one of them.” “Is that what you think?” He looks down at the ground before he sighs. “Then I have no choice. If you don't follow Lord Um
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 222 : Disappeared
ELIJAH I rush over to him and check his pulse. It's not there. My face turns pale. He’s dead? The realization hits me like a cold wave. I look down at my father, his body limp and lifeless. A surge of horror and guilt washes over me. I killed him. I didn’t mean to kill him. I was so enraged at his words, that I lost control. Am I really a killer just like he said? Did I really kill my mom?I drop to the ground, resting my arms on my knees as I stare at what I have done. The weight of my action presses down on me, a crushing burden. I have killed my father. What kind of monster am I? I run my palm over my face. This is not how I imagined my day to begin with. I mind-link Josh. “Yes, what’s up?” “Find me in the forest.” I order him. “Okay. You alright?” “Just come!” I growl, the guilt and fear inside me making it hard to breathe. “Okay. Give me a few minutes.” I rest my head between my arms and close my eyes. How will I stand before Rena after what I did? Will she look at me
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 223 : Asking For Some Time
ELIJAH“I don’t get it.” I sigh and explain everything to him through the mind-link. What dad told me about my destiny, the hallucinations, me being a Shadow wolf. His face turns pale and he scowls. “It's all rubbish, man. He’s spewing lies.” I step closer to him and stare at him in the eye. “Is it? Josh, you were there the day we hijacked the castle and I captured Cyrus. You saw what happened. Be honest with me. Doesn't it all make sense?” I ask him and he looks away. Minutes pass and he seems to have trouble giving me an answer. He sensed it too. The day I lost control over Cyrus and Irene had to snap me out of it. The day those Ashwalker wolves walked away just because I growled at them, as if they were obeying me. “This is a fucking mess!” He exhales sharply and runs his hand through his hair. I look ahead and stare at the packhouse. “I know. If what dad said is true, then I am the one Rena needs to stay away from. Even the kids.” My heart clenches so painfully, I find it har
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 224 : Getting Used to It
VERENA After I shower with Elijah, I get dressed and head over to the kids' room to wake them up. Much to my surprise, Ezra and Venus are sleeping peacefully in their beds. Venus not waking up and not crying is the most surprising because she always did that in the Moonlight Pack. Is it because she’s in her home pack?No matter where Venus was born, she has the blood of the Iron Claw Pack running through her veins. Maybe she feels more comfortable here because of the presence and scent of Elijah. It's the gap only a father can fill.I gently wake her up first, and the noise she makes causes Ezra to wake up.“Ugh, stop, Veenie. I’m sleeping.” He groans, flipping over to the other side of the bed.“Wake up, Ezzie. It's eight already,” I tell him, and he groans in response.“I want to sleep some more,” he whines, and I narrow my eyes at him while I pick Venus up.“No, wake up. You have to go to school.” I scold him, and he looks over his shoulder while lying down.“Mommy, I don’t have a
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 225 : Fast Healing
VERENAIrene makes a sound with her mouth before she gulps and answers. “No, because of how we had a lot of wars going on, I decided to focus my time here, training the female warriors and guiding them. The border military has another commander who’s my replacement, and he’s doing his job well. I take reports from him every week and visit the place once in a while to make sure everything is running smoothly.”I nod. “Training the female warriors is crucial. I have the same law in the Moonlight Pack.”“Mhmm. We should spar someday. It’s been a long time since we had a good fight.” She winks, and I grin.“I’m looking forward to it,” I mutter, and realize I have started making coffee for Elijah. When did I begin? I don’t even remember.“Looks like Luna does not need my help to guide her,” Nona gives me a warm smile.Irene smirks and grabs another banana. “Old habits die hard. You still remember where everything is kept.” She rests her arm on the counter, a thoughtful look on her face. “E
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 226 : The Pack's Future
VERENA“Yeah, why do you ask?” He looks at me, and I’m not sure if I’m seeing things, but I notice concern in his eyes.I shake my head. “Nothing.” He gives me a small smile that doesn’t reach his eyes and walks away.I can’t be wrong. Something was off.“I sensed it too. He’s hiding something,” Serena mutters in my head, having woken up from her slumber. Throughout this year, I’ve learned to trust my intuition, just like Maria advised, and I also believe in Serena’s strength. Her wisdom is growing, and she seems to know more as each month passes. It’s as if she’s remembering everything.I settle in Elijah’s chair, taking a deep sniff of his scent on it. It instantly calms me, and I stare out of the window. What Elijah told me in the shower keeps revolving in my head. Regef and Nixie could be working together. But why? What problem does Nixie have with me? I had never met her before.I try to remember if there was any instance where I had met her, but nothing comes to mind.Then a str

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.
