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 227 : Matching Outfits
VERENA“You’re overthinking it. Becoming his Luna is equivalent to marriage for werewolves. The only thing left is to mark each other. Marriage is for humans,” Serena tells me, and I feel reassured.Yeah, she’s right. We are wolves, so in a way, we’re getting married according to werewolf laws when he makes me the Luna of the Iron Claw Pack. Maybe Elijah wants to do it the traditional way. It's a celebration in itself.---One week later.“Rena!” Maria pops her head through the door, and my eyes widen with excitement at seeing her.“Maria. Come in,” I gesture at her with a wave of my hand.“Rena, I swear if you move again, I’ll make you look like a ghost with this liner,” Irene points at the liner pen she’s holding. I shrug.“I can do it myself,” I pout, but she shakes her head.“Nope, not happening. I have a vision in my head, and you’re not going to ruin it, Missy.” She says in her sassy tone and leans toward me. “Now stay still. Pretend you are a statue.” She shakes the eyeliner pen
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 228 : Couple Poses
VERENA“Dad helped me!” Ezra says, holding Elijah’s hand. Elijah smiles at him and caresses his head.“Time for a family photo,” Maria says, and Elijah walks toward us with Ezra.“Use my phone,” Elijah hands Irene his phone and then looks at me. “Forgive me, as I don’t have any words to tell you how beautiful and sexy you look tonight.” He whispers, his hot breath fanning my ear and turning my cheeks hot. “Why don’t you show me when the party ends?” I whisper back. “Eagerly. Look forward to it,” He gives me a wink. “Ahem. Admire each other later. Talk less, pose more.” Irene scolds us and Elijah rolls his eyes. Ezra chuckles. We do some poses together, and Venus is uncooperative as usual. Ezra, on the other hand, seems very much into it and is giving some good poses. He’s sometimes looking at Elijah and following what he’s doing. “Good. Now some couples pose. You two…” Irene points at Elijah and me. I blush. Maria takes Venus and Ezra steps away. “Mommy and daddy should hold ha
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 229 : Luna Ceremony
VERENAHer tired eyes brighten as she sees me, and she opens her arms to embrace me in a hug. During the week, I visited her in the Mountain Cross pack, and the doctor advised her to stay on bed rest for a few days. I invited her to the ceremony and promised to ensure she’s taken care of throughout the entire party."It's so good to see you again." She cups my face and gives me a warm smile.“You too,” I nod and grin at her. I’m so glad she’s doing fine now.“Hey,” I hear another voice and smile when I see Carlisle walk in. He looks good in his dark gray blazer over a maroon turtleneck sweater. His gaze slides over my appearance. “You look stunning tonight, just as usual,” he compliments me.I feel a strong arm wrap around my waist. Elijah stands beside me, throwing a sharp look toward Carlisle. I hold his hand and give it a light squeeze. He doesn’t need to feel threatened. He’s always going to be the one I love.I turn back to Carlisle. “Thanks for coming.”He smiles. “You invited u
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 230 : Meeting The Princess
VERENA"Serena, calm down. Why are you being like this?" I scold her.“Don’t you sense it? Something is off about him. I don’t like it. Not one bit.” She growls, trying to push herself out through me.I sense it too. His aura and scent, ones that usually comfort me, feel heavy and oppressive. Elijah seems to sense it too as his face hardens. He releases my hand and takes a step back as if repulsed by my presence.My heart clenches at this, but I don’t know how to process it. Serena isn’t being very cooperative at the moment.“It’s done,” he mutters sharply, avoiding my gaze. “All hail Luna Verena.”A roar of approval erupts from the crowd, a cacophony of howls and cheers. Everyone comes to congratulate me as the new Luna of the pack, and I plaster a smile on my face, keeping my expression composed while a storm brews inside me.What was that feeling? As much as I want to ignore it, I can’t. Elijah walked away a few minutes ago, not even sparing me a glance. He seemed disturbed about s
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 231 : Repulsion
VERENAElijah takes another sip from his drink and has a calm, nonchalant look on his face as he looks at her. “The main culprit behind your sister’s death is being punished. The Alpha King isn’t the one who raped and killed your sister.” He mutters and my brows shoot up in shock. This is something I did not expect. The Alpha King isn’t behind the princess’s death? Leila frowns. “Then who did it?” She asks the question I have in mind. “Cyrus. He had his agenda against the King. So he set him up. I’m sure you remember that when the king went to your castle, Cyrus also stayed with him.” Leila’s eyes swirl with contemplation. “Yeah, he stayed in our castle too.” Elijah taps the bar counter with his fingers. “I’m sure you knew that your sister had a strong liking towards the king. She would try to meet him often in the private chamber allocated to him in the castle at night. The clothes she put on to see him weren’t very decent, to say the least.” He says and raises a brow at her. L
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 232 : Savage Beast Within
ELIJAH My head is spinning. The moment I declared Rena the Luna of the pack, I felt that similar sensation. This time, I’m sure she felt it too. Fuck! Am I going to lose her sooner than I thought? Rolf’s behavior is also changing towards her. Whenever I feel that dark sensation within me, those slithering waves that seem to consume me, Rolf gets agitated and starts to growl fiercely at Rena. He can’t speak to me like other wolves can talk to their counterparts, but that does not mean he can’t communicate through his animalistic sounds. I knew I had to get away from Rena at that time. So I walk away. I need a drink. I head to the bar and place my arm against the counter. The bartender knows what I want just by looking at me. He nods and starts to prepare my drink. When he puts the glass on the black polished counter, I hear a familiar female voice. “Elijah,” I don’t need to turn around to know that it’s Leila. Fuck it! I don’t have the strength to deal with this woman right now.
