Rejected Luna: He wants me back 238 : A Painful Revelation
VERENAI walk towards the mirror and look for the hair brush. Where did it go?! A hand reaches out and pick’s the hairbrush from the vanity table. I blink furiously as he hands me the brush. I snatch it from him and start brushing my hair. My eyes lift towards the mirror and though he’s staring at me, I can tell he’s deep in thought. He wraps his arms around my waist and rests his head on my shoulder. “What if the truth is the reason that pulls us apart?” He asks, his warm breath falling on my back. I stop running the brush through my air and look at the mirror again. His pain, I can sense it even more now. “Then it's more of a reason to tell me.” I say in a calm voice. He sighs and pulls me closer to him. His arms tighten around me, as if he’s afraid of losing me. My voice softens as I ask him. “Elijah, what is it?” “Have you ever heard of Shadow wolves?” He asks and my brows knit. Shadow wolf? That term seems to be familiar. Where did I come across it? I rack my brain to remem
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 239 : An Intruder In A Meeting
VERENAI sit beside Elijah at the long conference table in the meeting room of the pack. Alphas from different packs are seated around the table, including Carlisle and Alpha Nova. The Alphas who had initially not attended the meeting when I called them for it are also sitting here right now. A part of me loathes them and I mask it behind my calm expression. I wonder if Cyrus would have spread some kind of a rumor about Elijah and ordered these Alphas from meeting, would they have done the same as they did to me? I remember dad telling me that female leaders are still not taken seriously. “As you all know, we are gathered here to discuss the recent threat we are facing. The Ashwalkers. The goal of this gathering is to find a solution that will work for everyone.” Elijah mutters, his back ramrod straight and his face hard, showing the ruthless Alpha side of him. His aura is intense today. Is it his Shadow wolf’s aura? Serena is sleeping so it's not affecting her. But I feel the repu
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 240 : Divisions
VERENAHe’s strong and special. Just like Elijah and me. I can sense it radiating through him. “King Rowan!” One of the Alphas acknowledges him and everyone stands on their feet, bowing to him in respect. Elijah does not make any effort to stand. He just narrows his eyes at the man who’s the Alpha King. So he’s Rowan. I had never seen him before so I’m a little shocked. What is he doing here? His golden brown eyes scrutinize the men until they fall on me. I don’t break eye contact as he challenges me with his stare and I raise my chin to show him that I’m not one to be dominated by his rank. He smirks, a satisfied look in his eyes that can make anyone else tremble with one gaze.I hear someone grunt and see Irene step inside through the door, glaring at Rowan. “I don’t remember sending you an invitation to join this meeting, Your Highness.” Elijah says in a calm voice, flipping the pen in his hand, taking his name as if making a mockery out of it. Rowan doesn't seem bothered by
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 241 : Explosion
VERENA“Believe what you want. I don’t need to prove myself,” He gives me a sharp look, “Either there’s one or multiple celestial wolves behind it. What I can say with guarantee is that they don’t intend to be the werewolf race’s guardian.” “No. They intend to change everything about the werewolf race. Bring in a new God, forge a new path.” Elijah says and I look at him. His eyes seem distant, as if he’s lost in something. “A new God?”Alpha Oliver asks and a wave of discussion erupts into the meeting room. “Elijah?” I place my hand on his, feeling it sting but I don’t pull away. If I want to be with him, I have to learn to handle it. He snaps out of his trance and looks at me. He realizes what everyone’s speaking about. “What I mean to say is that whoever is the leader of it wants to play God and rule over us. Power makes people greedy and leads them towards the path of destruction.” He says and everyone nods in agreement. Clearly, the information about the Moon Goddess being mis
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 242 : Fight With Us
VERENAI hear another growl and see Irene surrounded by five Ashwalkers. She has no place to move as all of them attack her at once. She does her best, biting one of their furs and swiping her sharp claws against another. But it's not enough as the rest pin her down, causing her to struggle. I am about to head towards her when my eyes land on Joshua’s wolf who’s also in a similar state, being attacked by another group of Ashwalkers. What do I do now? I can only rescue one of them. Suddenly, a powerful roar shakes the floor beneath our paws and I see a giant brown wolf with golden brown eyes charge towards the group of five wolves attacking Irene. The Alpha King. He sinks his canines onto the wolf’s back that’s right on top of Irene and just with his mouth, he throws the wolf across the room like he weighs nothing. His massive form allows him to attack two more wolves in the group simultaneously. He rips one of their heads off his body and kicks the other away. I don’t pay attenti
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 243 : Missing Dory
VERENAThe battle ends with nearly all Ashwalkers destroyed.The air is tense afterward. “Kane, make sure everyone gets proper medical attention, especially Irene, Beta Joshua, and Drake,” I order him, as he’s in charge of the medical department. He nods and walks down the hallway to check on everyone who has been admitted to the hospital.“Luna, you need to be treated too,” a nurse walks in and says, looking at the bruises on my arms and waist.“I’m fine. It’s healing,” I tell her. She gives me a concerned look but then nods.I stride to the ward where Drake is. He sits on the bed, staring out the window, his face rigid with anger. He senses me and turns around. “Luna.” The pain in his eyes tugs at my heart. His twin sister is missing, and it’s worrying him.I approach him and pull him into a hug. “We are looking for her,” I tell him. “We won’t stop until we find her. I promise you that.” He nods, trying to act tough by keeping a straight face.“Dory is strong. She won’t let those ba
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 244 : Argument With The Alphas
VERENAJoshua parks the car in front of the packhouse, and we walk inside the hall. Five men are seated in one room, and as soon as they see me, they stand up and start to growl. “What’s the meaning of this, Miss Verena?” Alpha Oliver shouts at me.“Why did you stop us from leaving? Are we your captives now?” another one says.The entire hall erupts into growls and yells thrown at me. Joshua takes a step forward to stop them, but I place my hand on his shoulder. He looks at me and frowns.I don’t say a word, just release my aura onto them, the waves of my strength and rank consuming the entire room. Soon, they stop shouting, feeling my strength press on them. I have never used my rank as a celestial wolf against other Alphas. But today is different. Today, I have no choice left.“More than fifty Ashwalkers attacked the meeting room,” I say, and they all look at me. “Every single one of you is a powerful leader of your pack. You are called Alphas. Yet, when it came to battling those As
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 245 : Her Fears
VERENA“Luna Verena, that’s wrong. You can’t exclude us like this. Our pack members need protection too,” Alpha Givoni says. Now they remeber to adress me as the Luna of this pack. “You should have thought of that when you sat in the meeting room. When you sit with us, you bear a certain responsibility. All of you showed us that you can’t take that responsibility. You people have betrayed me before in fear of the Alpha King. I looked past that. I can’t look past this,” I say in a stern voice.Elijah was right. There was no point in joining hands with people who have betrayed you once.“But—” “That’s all. All of you are free to leave.” I turn around and walk towards the door. When I hold the door handle, I look over my shoulder. “Grow some balls. Otherwise none of you’d survive the Ashwalkers.” Saying that, I step out of the door. Joshua blows some air through his mouth. “That was amazing. You showed those assholes their place.” He smirks. I feel a little relaxed too after venting

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.
