Rejected Luna: He wants me back 265 : The Watch
VERENADrake and Joshua rush to my side, their faces etched with concern. "Maybe it's broken," Drake suggests, his voice a mixture of hope and despair.I refuse to give up. "We can't let it break," I say, my voice firm. "We have to fix it."With a newfound determination, I leave Drake's room and head towards the dining room. The dimly lit room has a few lamps casting a warm glow on the table. The aroma of freshly cooked dinner fills the air, a tantalizing scent that makes my stomach rumble. But because of Elijah’s condition, all my appetite has died down. I won’t be eating anything tonight. Ezra is just about to start his dinner, his eyes sparkling with anticipation when he sees me. “Mommy, are you going to have dinner with me?” he asks in excitement and my chest tightens. I have to refuse him right now. “No, sweetie. There’s something I need your help with.” I say and his face lights up. "Sure, Mommy!" he exclaims, his eyes wide with eagerness. He’s always happy to help me. “Uh,
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 266 : Hide and Seek
VERENA“Where’s Dory? She didn’t come to play with me today.” Ezra complaints, pouting. “Is she playing hide-and-seek with me?” I smile, a bittersweet expression playing on my lips. "Sort of," I reply, my voice filled with a newfound hope. "She's playing hide-and-seek with us."Ezra chuckles, his laughter a soothing balm for my troubled heart. "That's like Finding Dory," he says, his eyes sparkling with excitement.I smile, wiping the tears quickly that threaten to escape my eye. "It is," I reply, my voice filled with a newfound hope. "Now, it's time for bed."Ezra nods, his enthusiasm fading as the reality of sleep sets in. As I tuck him in, I watch him drift off to sleep, his small chest rising and falling with each breath. In the darkness of his room, I find a sense of peace, a flicker of hope that illuminates the path ahead.The meeting room, a dimly lit space filled with the scent of wood and leather, is our chosen venue for the meeting. Joshua and Drake stand before me, their f
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 267 : The small house
VERENA“You don’t fucking have to. I don’t care about it. Verena trusts me, that’s more than enough for me.” Carlisle replies. "I'm here to help, not to hinder.""Yeah, right," Drake scoffs. "We'll see about that."I step between them, trying to defuse the tension. "Enough," I say, my voice firm. "We have a mission to accomplish here. We need to focus on that, not on our personal grudges."Reluctantly, they both back down. But the undercurrent of animosity remains a constant threat to our unity.Ignoring the animosity, I shift into my wolf form, a white, powerful beast. The other warriors follow suit, their forms morphing into a strong army. The men and women from the Moonlight pack join us, their numbers bolstering our ranks.With a final glance at the gathering storm clouds, we set off, our footsteps a rhythmic drumbeat against the earth.The forest seems to swallow us as we keep running.he trees, ancient and gnarled, reach towards the sky, their branches intertwining to form a cano
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 268 : The lab
VERENAI leap into the air, my body twisting in mid-air as I aim for its vulnerable throat. My claws connect, a sickening crunch echoing through the chamber. The Ashwalker lets out a final, agonized scream before collapsing to the floor and a white light consuming it before it disperses into the air. Satisfied, I turn to face the remaining Ashwalkers. They are circling Drake and Joshua, their eyes glowing with a feral intensity. I know I have to be careful. These creatures are more powerful here. Joshua manages to tackle one with his strength but the rest try to gang up on him. As the Ashwalkers close in on Joshua and Drake, they form a menacing wall of darkness, I know I have to act. With a roar, I launch myself into the fray, my body a blur of motion as I tear through the ranks of the Ashwalkers. My claws rake across their hides, leaving deep, bleeding wounds. They howl in pain, their attacks becoming more desperate. I protect Joshua and Drake, shielding them from the Ashwalker
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 269 : Nixie's Identity
VERENAMy gaze falls on the woman whose body is half-burned. Her closed eyes snap open, making my heart jump into my throat. Shit. Then, with a sickening crack, the first tube shatters. A torrent of liquid cascades down, the thick, viscous substance quickly pooling on the floor. Panic surges through me as I realize the danger we're in. I grab Joshua and Drake's hands, pulling them towards me. The liquid is rising rapidly, and we have to move.As we stumble through the rising tide, the Ashwalkers emerge from the cracked tubes one by one. Their eyes turn hollow, and they transform into wolves before my very eyes. Their howls echo through the flooded lab, sending shivers down my spine.“There are too many of them.” Drake says as they surround us. With the thick liquid stuck to my feet, it's getting hard to move around. What do I do now? The world is a blur of motion as I swing my fist towards the Ashwalker charging at me. The air is thick with the scent of sweat and fear, and the soun
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 270 : Betrayal of Mothers
VERENA“Well, your mother isn’t as innocent as she looks.” Regef starts to chuckle and I feel my chest heave in anger. Nixie smirks at me. “You must have known that your mother dearest and I had a relationship before she was mated to my brother. Now, here’s the thing. Your mom had a little secret that your dad didn’t know. Only I knew it.” “What…secret?” I ask, my voice trembling. I don’t know if I can take any more revelations right now. “She has always been a part of the Green Moon’s cult.” He answers and my face turns pale. “What?!” I look at Mom who stares at the floor. “Why?” She frowns. “Because Lord Umbra gave me everything I wanted. I wasn’t happy being just the beta’s daughter. I wanted more and I didn’t have enough. Worshiping the Moon Goddess gave me nothing. She’s just a pathetic Goddess who has no powers and creates stupid rules. She mated me with a man I had no interest in.“But dad saved you when Regef tried to hurt you.” I say. She scoffs. “That was all an act to
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 271 : Taking Revenge
VERENAI need to do something. I look at the chains that hang me to the ceiling. They are tight and hurt every time I try to move my wrist. “There’s no point in resisting it.” Nixie says and I stop. She smiles. “I made sure they are filled with poison and soon it will kill you.” she says in a sweet voice, hiding her despicable nature beneath it. I can’t help but laugh as Nixie watches me with a mix of amusement and disbelief. “You think these chains can hold me?” I scoff, my voice filled with mockery. “I’ve faced far worse poisons than this. This is nothing, thanks to you attacking me with poisons and getting me used to them.”As I speak, I feel a surge of celestial power coursing through me. My aura flares, a blinding light that fills the room. Nixie recoils in fear, her eyes wide with terror. I focus my energy on the chains binding my wrists, and with a grunt of exertion, they snap like twigs.My boots slap on the floor as I land on the polished tiles and immediately head over to
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 272 : Captive
DORYI grunt as my body hurts from all the beating I got today. Even my back hurts as I try to rest it against the dirty wall. The stench is overwhelming. It’s a nauseating mix of decay, sweat, and something I can’t quite place. Maybe urine. Ew! I gag as I try to breathe through the thick, heavy air. The cell is small and cramped, the walls damp and moldy. Cobwebs dangle from the ceiling, and rats scurry across the filthy floor.The light is dim, filtering through a small, barred window high up on the wall. It casts eerie shadows that dance and flicker across the grimy walls. A single, rusted bucket sits in the corner, its contents a murky, foul-smelling liquid. I shudder at the thought of having to drink from it.I’m trapped. A prisoner in this disgusting, filthy dungeon. And I have no idea how I’m going to escape.“Sweetie, are you alright?” A faint sound breaks through the silence of my cell. It’s a voice, soft and hesitant. I strain to hear it better, my heart pounding in my che

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.
