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
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 256 : Ruth's Disappearance
VERENA“But how can she be kidnapped from the packhouse? Ruth doesn't step outside the packhouse very often because of her health. There’s tight security around the pack.” Dad says and I hum. Then where is she? I shift into my wolf form and run through the forest. Fifteen minutes later, I reach Carlisle’s pack borders. The guards there recognize me immediately and let me in. I shift back and meet Carlisle at the entrance of his house. “Did you find anything so far?” I ask as we both head to Ruth’s room. “The last time she was seen in the kitchen. You know how she is. She loves to cook. But that was nearly one hour ago.” He replies and I frown. “Who saw her? The kitchen staff?” I ask. “No, it was Gareth.” “Your beta.” I mutter. I enter Ruth’s room and go through her stuff. It's strange. Everything is its place. The clothes are there, her shoes and accessories, her medicine. Nothing is out of place. Then how? “We are looking for her throughout the pack,” Beta Gareth’s voice catc
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 257 : Everything Is Connected
VERENAI don’t know if I should tell Carlisle. Elijah’s real identity needs to be kept a secret. He might not support it if he learns that he’s a Shadow wolf. “I don’t know. We are figuring it out.” I mutter and take a sip. Carlisle stares at me for a while and I can tell that he does not believe what I said. But he does not push me any further. “Did you find out where Dory is?” I shake my head. “Not yet. But I have a feeling that if we find Dory, we’ll find Ruth too.” He frowns. “You think the Ashwalkers are behind it?” I shrug. “Anything is possible at this point.” “But I don’t understand. Why Ruth?” He asks. “No idea. Dory was kidnapped because she was considered the weakest among us. Maybe Regef wanted to do the same to you.” I look at him and he frowns. “That is a possibility. Ruth became a target of the Ashwalkers when they attacked.” His eyes lit up as if he realized something. “Is that what it is? Were they targeting her from that point on?” he asks and my eyes turn wi

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.
