Rejected Luna: He wants me back 295 : Finding Them
VERENAMy heart pounds in my chest as I approach the safe, my fingers trembling slightly. Inside, nestled on a bed of velvet, is the Goddess Gem, a relic of ancient power that holds the key to our survival. Celine or Selene the Goddess said that her powers are stored in this gem. I wonder what this gem’s history is. Joshua and Irene stand beside me, their faces etched with a mixture of hope and fear. Irene bites her nails as she watches the gem keenly. They know as well as I do that the fate of the werewolves rests on this small, unassuming stone.I reach into the safe, my fingers gently brushing against the cool surface of the gem. With a deep breath, I pull it out, holding it in the palm of my hand. The gem is like a red sphere, pulsating with an ethereal light whenever I hold it in my palm."This is it," I say, my voice barely a whisper. "This is what will lead us to the other Celestial wolves."Irene raises an eyebrow. "How exactly are we going to use this to track down wolves s
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 296 : A Dark Connection
VERENAI get up to place the gem back into the safe. Now that its work is done, I hope we’ll get to the other guardian celestial wolves sooner. As I reach for the safe, a wave of dizziness washes over me. My head spins, and my vision blurs. A sharp pain lanced through my spine, intensifying with each passing second. I clutch at my chest, gasping for air.Joshua and Irene rush to my side, their faces etched with concern. "Rena, are you okay?" Irene asks, her voice filled with worry.I try to respond, but the pain is too intense. My vision darkens, and I collapse to the ground, unconscious.In the depths of my mind, I find myself in a strange, unfamiliar place. It's a realm of darkness, a void where light cannot penetrate. The air is thick and heavy, filled with a suffocating sense of emptiness.My feet are submerged in a black, tar-like substance, my movements hindered by its viscous grip. I look around, my eyes wide with fear. The place is barren, devoid of any signs of life.And then
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 297 : The Curse of The Connection
VERENA"The Luna Guardian is the leader of the celestial wolves. Just like Elijah is the Alpha Shadow, leader of the shadow wolves," Celine replies. "It's a powerful position, one that requires great strength and courage."My heart races. I've never heard of the Luna Guardian before."I don't understand," I say. "I'm just a celestial wolf. How can I be the Luna Guardian?""Because you are special, Rena," Celine replies. "You have a unique connection to Elijah, a bond that is stronger than any other. And now, that bond has been reinforced."I frown. "What do you mean?" I ask."The vision was meant to reconnect you to Elijah," Celine replies. "When Elijah was consumed by darkness, your bond with him was weakened. But now, you are connected again, stronger than ever before."My eyes fill with tears. I'm so grateful to be connected to Elijah again."And because of this connection," Celine continues, "your true powers have come to the surface."My heart skips a beat. "What true powers?" I a
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 298 : Daughter's Concern
VERENAThe answers to these questions are a mystery. It seems like I'm trapped in an impossible situation, with no way out. Why does it always have to be us? If I ever get reborn, I’d wish for a normal life, one where I’m no leader and nor his Elijah. —--------------I'm sitting at my desk in the quiet, dimly lit office, trying to focus on my work. It's nighttime, and the office is bathed in a soft, moonlight glow. A large window looks out onto a courtyard, and the moonlight casts long, dancing shadows on the floor.My desk is a cluttered mess, covered in papers, books, and empty coffee cups. I have been working on improving the security of the pack so that we are prepared. But it doesn't feel enough. Behind me is a bookshelf filled with scattered books that I used to gain as much knowledge as possible. A small, potted plant sits on the windowsill, its leaves drooping sadly.But my mind is elsewhere. I'm worried about Ezra and how the fate of the battle will turn out. If Elijah and
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 299 : Duties of a Celestial Wolf
VERENAMy lips quiver and my shoulders tremble as I say. “Elijah has turned to the dark side and now he’s the leader of the shadow wolves. He’s my enemy now. A war is coming and we’ll have to fight him and the entire army that Regef is going to bring with him to destroy us.”My father's eyes widen in shock. "What?" he exclaims. "How is that possible? When did it happen?""I don't know," I reply, my voice filled with despair. "It happened after I returned from Regef's hideout. I think he was influenced by the darkness inside him.” “Oh Goddess.” He exclaims and I wipe the tears that soak my cheeks. “The worst part is that Ezra is in danger too.” Dad’s eyes fill with tears. "No," he whispers. "This can't be happening.""It is," I reply. "And it's going to be a terrible war.""What about Ezra?" my father asks. "Is he going to be okay?"I shake my head. "I don't know," I reply. "Ezra's life is in danger too. He will be pulled to the dark side once Elijah’s powers are at their peak. We m
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 300 : Stronger Than You Think
VERENAI stare at each one of them, allowing my words to resonate with them. I want them to understand the gravity of the situation. We are facing a real threat, and we need to unite to defeat it."If you don't want to die," I continue, "then you can leave. But if these Ashwalkers win the battle, then they will come to terrorize all of your packs. They will show no mercy. They will kill everyone, regardless of their age or strength."I look at them again, my eyes filled with determination.The group of celestial wolves look at each other, their faces filled with doubt.“We need some time to think,” Ethan says as he looks at me. My heart clenches but I don’t show the feeling of despair on my face. I’ll stay strong. I nod. “Fine. Let me know what you want. I won’t force any of you to fight this battle. But if you do, then please do it with the intention of giving your all into it.” “Alright.” After the group of celestial wolves leave the meeting room, I let go of my strong façade and
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 301 : In His Darkness
ELIJAHThe darkness is suffocating, a thick, oppressive blanket that seems to seep into every pore of my being. My feet are submerged in a river of black tar, its viscous surface rippling and bubbling ominously. My wrists and ankles are chained to a cold, hard bench, the metal biting into my flesh. I sit there, a prisoner in my own mind, trapped in this dark, desolate realm.The world around me is shrouded in perpetual darkness, punctuated only by the occasional flicker of an unseen flame. Black smoke curls and writhes around me, a fucking sinister, malevolent presence. I feel empty, hollow, like a shell without a soul. There is no light here, no hope, no escape.I think back to the day I fought Rena. I remember the pain in her eyes, the fear that had etched itself onto her face. I hurt her badly. I tried my best to control myself, but it was no use. I wasn't in control anymore. My dark side had taken over, and it had consumed me whole.I wished I hadn’t woken up. But it was not in my

Rejected Luna: He wants me back 343 : We Won
ELIJAHTheon scoffs. “Happy, my ass! You know what’s going to truly make me happy? All of your deaths! I’ll become the next shadow Alpha and end every single one of you. That kid of yours..I’ll kill him too if he gets in my way!” He growls. My eyes darken. “You shouldn’t have said that,” I say in a low, dangerous voice and stalk forward. Theon braces himself for my attack but he is taken aback when I approach him at lightning speed and rip his head off. He gets no time to fight and drops dead on the ground. I watch him with a look of sorrow in my heart. There was no saving him. “I’m sorry for not being there for you.” I tell him though I know he won’t hear me. I wish I could change things in the past. I would have built a new relationship with him, one where we supported each other as brothers and didn’t go after each other’s throats. VERENARegef and I battle each other using our celestial powers. I’m stronger than him in terms of my position as the Luna Guardian. But he has years
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 342 : A Brother's Pain
ELIJAHI step before Rena and throw my dark energy towards Regef to neutralize the attack that he did. Regef’s wolf growls at me in anger and charges straight at me. But there’s Theon beside him who follows suit. I’d have to deal with both of them. I am about to charge at Regef when I feel that stabbing pain within my body again. Umbra is trying to gain control over me again. “This is fruitless,” I hear a voice in my head and realize that it's Regef’s. Is he mind-linking me through the bond we have as Umbra’s cult? “You should stop going against your fate. Your body won’t be able to take the resistance as it is built for dark powers. Fighting against your nature will only get you killed.” I grit my teeth and close my eyes to control the pain. I can sense Theon lunging at me but a bright globe of light collides against his body and throws him away. Regef stops and looks at Theon laying in the ground. I look beside me and see Rena step forward. She looks at me and places a hand on
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
