Rejected Luna: He wants me back 305 : Please don't leave me
ELIJAH“I am your mother. You betrayed me.” She growls back. Theon’s jaw clenches and turns towards the men that surround him. “Capture her and put her in the cells.” He orders them. Mom’s eyes turn wide in disbelief. “What?” She looks at the men that step forward and surround them. “How can you do this? I’m your mother!” Theon scoffs. “So what? No one has the fucking right to disrespect the powerful Alpha.” He says and points his chin towards her, gesturing to the men to capture her. “No, you can’t do this!” She yells and tries to resist the men that grab hold of her wrists. Seeing her struggle like that stirs something inside me. Mom’s eyes flash yellow, showing her wolf and she bares her canines at them. One of the men lets go of her wrist and slaps her on the face. She falls to the ground and hits her head against a rock. “Hey!” A powerful growl surges through my chest and before I can think, my body is rushing towards her. I bare my canines at the man who slapped her and ri
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 306 : Killing Celine
ELIJAHDark Elijah pulls me to his side and I feel the bond that tethers us. I can’t escape from it because he has control over me now. I hate this! “Take her away for now! We’ll deal with her body later,” Regef commands his men and they grab mom’s body. I watch in rage and desperation while they take her away as if she’s just a piece of trash that needs to be thrown away. And I can’t do anything to save her dignity. I really am a failure. I deserve to die. My existence has nothing left to it. I can’t be of any use to Rena or the children. All I’ll do is pull them to the dark side. I want Rena to end me. But there’s that one problem. She’ll die if she kills me. Theon’s voice breaks my chain of thoughts. “Why were you acting all emotional? You don’t care about her. You tried to hurt her when we were fighting, you dick!” He spats. I scoff, “I would never dare to hurt her. Don’t confuse me with yourself. We’re not the same. It was because of her that your ass was saved. Can’t belie
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 307 : Her Protector
ELIJAHI frown. “Did you know I was coming?” I ask. She nods. “Yes. They sent you, didn’t they?” My frown deepens and I look at her suspiciously. “You seem to know a lot. Who are you?” I ask. The woman looks down. I wait for her to answer, my heart pounding in my chest. I know that whatever she's about to say is going to be important. "I'm the Moon Goddess," Celine replies.I'm shocked. I don't believe her. "What?" I say. "That's impossible."Celine smiles sadly. "I know it's hard to believe," she says. "But it's true."I look at her, my eyes filled with doubt. "How can you be the Moon Goddess?" I ask."I've been watching over you all," Celine replies. "I've been guiding you."I'm still skeptical. I don't understand how a human could be a goddess.I shake my head. “This is absolute nonsense. Do you take me for a fool or what?” I spat in anger. "I know you were in the secret base where Umbra's cult stays and worships him," Celine says. "I saw everything."My brows raise. She can’t
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 308 : Acceptance
ELIJAHI sigh. “But all I did was cause trouble for her. I am not her protector anymore. She’s strong enough to protect herself. I am just a hindrance at this point.” She steps closer to me and places her hand on my shoulder. “That’s where you need to change your perspective. You can become her protector again.” My brows knit. “How? I lost control over myself and we are enemies by nature. Even if I try, I won’t be able to resist my primal instinct.” “Power is just power, Elijah. It is your decision on how you use it. The primal instinct you have to hurt Rena is past life choices replaying for you.” She replies in her calm voice. “I don’t get it. Past life choices?” I ask. She nods and takes my palm in her hand. She traces a circle over my palm and a blue light emerges on top, taking the shape of two small figures. One male and one female. “As I said before, your connection with Verena transcends time and space. It's a connection that has been existing in different ages. The moon
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 309 : On your side
VERENAI sit at my desk, surrounded by stacks of paperwork. It's a few hours before the full moon, and I'm trying to make sure that everything is in order. The fate of our pack rests on my shoulders, and I know I can't afford to make any mistakes.I look up at the leaders of the squad divisions that are in charge of protecting the borders of our pack. They're all sitting around the table, their faces etched with concern."Have you secured the areas that come near the borders of the pack?" I ask them. "Have you evacuated the people around those areas to the building where we will be keeping them safe?"One of the men, a grizzled veteran named Marcus, nods. "We have," he replies. "We've also hidden weapons in the borders, just in case the Ashwalkers try to sneak in."I nod, appreciating Marcus's foresight. "Good work," I say. "We need to do everything we can to protect our people."Marcus smiles. "We will," he says. "We will fight to the death to protect our home."I feel a surge of hop
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 310 : Liability
VERENAI step into the herb room, the air thick with the scent of herbs and spices. Dory is standing at the counter, surrounded by jars and bottles of various substances."What are you doing?" I ask."I'm looking for something that I can use during the battle," Dory replies and shakes the jar in her hand. "I want to make a potion out of these herbs, or maybe some small weapons."I'm glad that Dory is thinking ahead. She's always coming up with new and innovative ways to help us."I'm sure you'll find something useful," I say.Dory smiles. "I hope so," she replies. "I don't want to be a liability during the battle." Her smile fades and I see a glimpse of sadness in her eyes. My heart aches. I know that Dory is worried about her abilities. Just like Ruth said, her fighting abilities aren’t that good as her healing abilities. Because of that she had been injured a lot during fights and she often feels like she's more of a hindrance than a help.But I know that Dory is wrong. She's an as
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 311 : A small battle
VERENAEzra purses his lips and there’s a certain sadness in his gaze as he looks up at me. “Mommy, you don’t have to lie to me. I understand what’s going on.” He stares at the window. “You and daddy are not okay. And it's because of that bad guy.” My chest tightens at his words. I feared that someday he’ll know the truth. I didn’t want him to be a part of this. But fate left me no choice. I gulp the lump in my throat. “Yeah, but we are strong. We’ll be fine.” He looks back at me and nods. “Mommy and daddy are strong. I’m strong too,” He says and my brows raise in shock. He holds my hand. “I’ll be fine too. You don’t have to worry about me.” I gasp when I feel his fingers tremble. He’s getting sicker by the moment and the aura around him is shifting. It's getting darker. I watch as Venus's tiny face scrunches up into a frown. Tears well up in her eyes, and she begins to cry. I cradle her in my arms. She can sense Ezra’s dark energy too. She felt it when Elijah was stepping into t
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 312 : Something Changed
VERENAI move quickly, pulling on my fighting gear. My armor is heavy and cumbersome, but I know it's necessary to protect myself from the Ashwalkers' attacks. I lace up my boots, tightening them as tight as I can. I buckle on my gun, it's cold metal glinting in the moonlight and braid my hair. As I prepare for battle, Joshua keeps me updated on the situation. The Ashwalkers are closing in on our borders, but thanks to the preparations that the squad leaders have made, they haven't been able to breach our defenses. I'm relieved to hear that everyone is doing their best to fight against this powerful enemy.The members of the Iron Claw pack are true warriors by nature. They're never afraid of anything. They would fight to the death to protect their home. I'm proud to be their Luna.I look in the mirror, my reflection staring back at me. My eyes are filled with concern, but I'm determined not to let it show. I remember what Selene told me: to not let my emotions stop me. Even if I'm th

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.
