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 258 : Traitor?
VERENA“Where is Irene?” I ask, my voice trembling. The receptionist points towards a hallway. “Ward 3B,” she replies. “Thank you.” I hurry down the hallway with Drake. As we approach the ward, I can hear the faint sound of voices. I hope she’s alright. I push open the door to Ward 3B. Irene is lying on the bed, her face pale, her eyes bright with defiance. Joshua sits beside her, his face etched with worry. An assuring smile plays on his lips when he sees me. I notice that he’s also injured, a bandage wrapped around his arm. “Are you okay?” I ask, my voice filled with concern. Joshua nods. “I’m fine, he replies, his smile fading. “But Irene…” I turn my attention to Irene, my heart sinking. “What happened?” I ask, my voice trembling. Irene shrugs, a wry smile playing on her lips. “Looks like hospitals suit me,” she jokes, her voice weak. I ignore her attempt at humor. “How did this happen?” I press. Joshua sighs. “We met Theon in the Shadow Den,” he explains. My eyes widen i
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 259 : Have Lost It
VERENABut we don’t discuss our plans with the rest of the staff of the packhouse. Then who would know where we are going or what we are planning next? “I’ll tell Elijah to run a thorough checking of the members that work with us. If someone is working for them, then we need to know it fast.” I mutter and look at the door. “Where’s Elijah?” “I don’t know,” Irene says. “Josh has been here but I didn't see him when I gained consciousness.” “He’s hurting,” Joshua says with a serious face. “I don’t think he’s in a good mental state right now. You should talk to him. He’s in the packhouse.” I frown. Why didn’t I sense him in the packhouse then? “Alright.” I head back to the packhouse and walk up stairs. I open the door to the kids room and find them sleeping . Venus makes a few sounds while she’s in a deep slumber and Ezra’s clutching a drawing book in his arms. I step inside, keeping my steps as light as possible and slowly pull out the drawing book from Ezra’s arms. He stirs a lit
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 260 : Aftermath
ELIJAHA few hours ago…The hospital waiting room is a blur of white walls and sterile furniture. I sit there, my mind reeling from the events of the past few hours. In the heat of the moment, I didn’t feel any pain from the wounds that I got from fighting with Theon and his men. But now it hurts like a bitch. It feels like someone has ripped my skin open. “Elijah, you should get treated,” Joshua speaks beside me as he takes a seat. I don’t look at him and stare at the white wall across me. “I’ll be fine,” I say in a stubborn voice. He sighs and the door to the ward where Irene is admitted swings open. The doctor steps out. Both Joshua and I get up. He approaches us with a calm, stoic face. “There’s nothing to be worried about. She will be fine. We have drained the poison out of her system.” I frown. “Did it affect her body in any way?” I inquire. He shakes his head. “No. The poison wasn’t that harmful. It's more like a sleeping drug. We use it on patients when we need them to b
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 261: Twisted Reflection
ELIJAH“You gave them watches?” I ask and he nods.“A year ago. It will help them track each other when they get lost. It can provide the accurate location of the place they are in when they are wearing the watch,” Ezra says and my eyes narrow. A watch that can track each other’s location. “I’m thinking of adding a feature that will show a picture of the area they are in. It will be so cool, right Daddy? Dad?” He calls my name. I pull myself out of the thoughts that swirl in my head. “Hmm? Yeah, it's very cool. Did the twins wear that watch often? Did you see them wear it last time?” Ezra looks up as if he’s thinking. “Eh…Drake did not wear it but Dory does every single day. She says that she loves the watch because I gave it to her.” he grins. “That’s why I like her more.” His grin fades and he moves closer to me. “Don’t tell that to Drake though.” He whispers. I nod. “I won’t.” I say. Is it possible that we can get Dory’s location through Drake’s watch? Fuck, I need to tell him
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 262 : A difficult choice
ELIJAH“You must be what they call the Shadow wolf,” I say as I look at him. “I’m you,” he speaks back, his eyes staring at me with a look that’s devoid of any emotions or expressions. “You are the Shadow wolf.” I scoff. “I don’t choose this path.” I spat. “It does not matter what you choose. Fate has chosen for you. No matter how much you resist it, it's going to stay attached to you.” His words make my jaw clench. “Then I’ll control it.” “You can’t. A hunter hunts by choice. But a beast is beastly by nature. You are a shadow wolf by nature. You can’t change nature.” I narrow my eyes. “So what do I do then?” “Accept me.” He says in a nonchalant tone. “We are the same person. I’m just a more powerful version of you. If we become one, the world becomes yours. You’ll rule over it and make everyone worship Lord Umbra. The one and only God of this world.” “Nonsense! I’m strong enough and I rule my pack. And my wife is my world. I don’t need anything else.” “She is your enemy!” He
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 263 : Hanging Between Life and Death
VERENACeline walks into my bedroom with a look of concern etched on her face and asks me. “Where’s he?” I point towards the bed and she sees him lying on the bed. I told her everything on the phone. When I held him in my arms, I could feel his heartbeat. I know he’s alive. But he’s not responding. My heart breaks at that thought. Celine slowly walks over to the bed and places her coat on the couch nearby. She exhales and rolls up the sleeves of her blouse. She, then, closes her eyes and her lips move as she mumbles some incantation under her breath. A few seconds pass and she opens her eyes, then places her palms on top of Elijah’s chest. She moves her palms on top of his body for a few seconds before her eyes stare ahead, as if she’s thinking something, “He’s not dead. But he’s not alive either.” My lips part in shock from her words. Not dead, not alive? “What kind of condition is that?” She looks at me. “Shadow wolves have special powers. They have control over their lives. If
