Rejected Luna: He wants me back 248 : Into The Den
ELIJAHI feel a protective instinct surge within me, a desire to shield them from harm. The Ashwalker wolves are supposed to be my enemies. But at this moment, I see them as more than that. I realize it. This was what I felt when I saw those Ashwalkers being attacked. I think I heard one of their voices in my head, crying for help. The next morning, I feel lightheaded but strangely focused. The dream, or whatever it was, is still fresh in my mind and the emotions I felt engraved in my soul. “Elijah,” Rena’s soft voice diverts my attention and I look up from my phone to see her apply her lipstick. The sunlight streaming through the window falls on her long hair that she has kept down. She is always beautiful and the more I see her, the more I feel that I can’t get enough. She turns towards me and grabs her bag. “I’m leaving. See you in the evening.” She mutters and I get up from the chair. Rena is going to visit Rayn to discuss the audio. She couldn't stop worrying about her dad s
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 249 : Mom
ELIJAHI don’t understand why he wouldn’t want more than three people. The number is oddly specific. “Yes I can sense that,” Silas says. “Let's not waste time. One of our warriors has been kidnapped by Ashwalkers. Tell us the location where they had kept her.” Irene gets straight to the point and crosses her arms over her chest. Silas chuckles. “Kept her? What makes you so sure? What if she’s dead?” He asks, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. “That’s none of your business,” Joshua spats. “Just tell us the location.” Silas looks at the floor. “Hmm. I don’t know either.” He says and I narrow my eyes. Irene uncrosses her arms and stares at him in disbelief. “What?! Then why did you lie that you know where she is?” She growls at him and grabs him by the collar, her eyes flashing yellow, showing her wolf. “Don’t play with us, Silas. Or else you’d suffer a fate far worse than what you have experienced.” She threatens him“Relax. I said I don't know about it. But I have brought s
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 250 : Nothing But A Mistake
ELIJAH The world seems to freeze as I take in the sigh before me. My mother, alive and standing before me. A wave of emotions wash over me, a tsunami of joy, disbelief, and confusion. Even Joshua and Irene look horrified on seeing her. I long to embrace her, to feel the warmth of her touch, to hear voice, a comfort I had thought I lost forever. Only Rena was able to give me that comfort when she came into my life. But as I take a step forward, she raises a hand as a gesture to stop me. “Don’t come any closer,” she says, her voice a cold, distant echo. The men who surround us point their wolfsbane laced daggers at me. My heart sinks. Her words pierce me to the core. I have yearned for this moment, for the chance to reunite her. When she was dead, I prayed to the Moon Goddess every single day to bring her back to me. She was my world, my happiness and everything. When I lost her, I became cold and distant. Now that she’s here, she is pushing me away. Why? “Mom,” I plead, my voice
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 251 : Mother's Hatred
ELIJAH Irene growls at her. “How can you say that about your own son?! Do you have no compassion for your child?” “Do not raise your voice against me!” Mom growls back at her, her eyes flashing. She scoffs. “You have no idea whom you consider as your Alpha. He’s nothing but a sin.” She looks at me with a stare that’s filled with hate and disgust. It hurts me to get such a look from the women whom I had always loved and admired. So I look away. “He’s the one who’s destined to forge the path of that devil who dares to end our Goddess. He should have never been born.” I take a sharp breath, my eyes stinging with unshed tears. I lift my head and look at her. “I didn’t choose to be one, Mom. I’m sorry if I ever hurt you but it was never intentional.” “Elijah…” Irene looks at me with a sad face and so does Joshua. “Do not call me ‘Mom’. I hate that word when it comes from that disgusting mouth of yours. And what are you sorry for? If you were sorry about it, you should have killed your
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 252 : Destroy. Conquer. Rule
ELIJAH Theon senses his victory through my submission and begins to taunt me with his howls that are filled with a cruel satisfaction. But he doesn't know that I allowed him to give me this pain. It's better to feel the physical pain and let my body bleed over the mental pain my mother has given me. My entire life feels like a lie right now. I thought she died due to cancer. Then dad said I had killed her. Mom steps in and tells me she left because she hates me and would rather watch me get killed. On top of that, she threatens to kill my kids. Fuck, both my parents, who are supposed to be the grandparents of my children, to love and protect them, are their enemies. Is anything normal in my family? Rena must be cursed to have been fated with someone like me. The people I have grown up with are broken and so am I. How much more do I need to endure? “They don’t deserve you. Kill them.” The voice whispers again. It grows louder, more insistent. “Destroy. Conquer. Rule.” It hurts
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 253 : You don't know me
ELIJAH“I told you I’m not leaving without you. And I won’t let you go down that path. You are not a monster, so stop acting like one!” She growls in my mind. I stand on my paws. “Shut up! You don’t even know me!” “I know that Rena wouldn’t accept this. Do you want her to look at you the same way your mother did?” Her words snap something in me and I lash out at her, kicking her on the flank. She did not anticipate that move and is thrown across the room, her large body hitting the wall. “Elijah!” Joshua growls at me in anger. “What the fuck, man?” I don’t listen to him and head straight towards Theon who is trying to crawl towards the door near to him. I won’t let him get away. I charge at him and he yells in panic as he sees me. But a figure blocks my path and I stop as I realize that it's mom who’s standing between him and me. “Please,” she pleads, tears glistening in her eyes. “Please let him go.” A tear slides down her eye and the fear in her gaze makes my heart squeeze pai
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 254 : Back to the pack
VERENAThe familiar facade of the Moonlight Pack estate looms large in the fading light, a comforting sight that eases the ache in my chest. From the moment I have left the Iron Claw Pack, my gut has been in tight knots. I don’t know why but I have a bad feeling crawling inside me. Elijah. Since the moment he has marked me, I can sense his emotions strongly. Even when I’m away from him, I can sense him in me. Why is it all so painful? My chest tightens in worry but the sight of my home eases it for the moment. It hasn't been too long since I have returned home, and as I drive up the winding driveway, a wave of nostalgia washes over me. Once again, I feel safe. My heart races with a mix of excitement and apprehension. I step out of my car, the cool evening air brushing against my skin. “Luna!” Norton and Kyla walk over to me. Norton greets me. “It's good to see you again, Luna.” He bows and I am shocked to see a small smile on his face. Norton barely smiles and he hardly shows any
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 255 : The warning
VERENA“Really? You haven’t sent it to me.” I say and start checking my messages to see if he sent me the audio. He shakes his head. “I haven’t. Since you said you’ll come here, I decided that I’ll show you the recording in person. Here…” He pulls his phone from his trousers pocket and taps on the audio that’s sent to him. “Listen to this.” He says, his voice filled with a grave seriousness. I take the phone and plug it into the nearest speaker. A voice, cold and calculating, fills the room. Its a male voice. “Hope you got to hear your precious mate’s voice. I’m sending this to inform you that this is just the beginning. Soon, the Moonlight Pack will be burning to the ground. Your daughter will have to die. A celestial wolf’s death will be the biggest downfall for your entire pack. Hope you are prepared for it. The game has begun.” I take a sharp breath and stare at the number on the phone. “Is this…Regef?” I ask and look at dad. He seems zoned out as he stares ahead into the spa
