Rejected Luna: He wants me back 323 : Ezra's Moon
ELIJAHI grit my teeth in panic and frustration. There has to be some way. But my mind feels blocked. I can’t think straight. “Ezra’s dark aura is mixing with ours, so Umbra’s influence on us is getting stronger. That’s why your mind is getting blocked. You won’t be able to think straight if you keep Ezra close to yourself.” Rolf tells me in my head. I look at Ezra whose body is trembling and he clutches onto my arm tightly. My son needs me right now. How can I push him away? “I know what it feels like,” I hear dad’s voice and glance past my shoulder. He’s looking out the window, his hands crossed behind his back. “When you want to be with the people you love but duty comes first. In order to get to the bigger goal, one has to sacrifice a lot. Especially a father. Our behavior might seem wrong at that time but we have to always look at the bigger picture to protect our family.” I frown at his words. “What are you trying to say?” I ask as I place one arm over Ezra’s back. Fuck, he
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 324 : His Guidance
ELIJAHIf I consider my dark powers as a factor that determines me being the shadow, then Ezra can be called the shadow too. Of course he has parts of the celestial wolf in him because of Rena, but his dark side is dominant over his celestial side. If every shadow has a moon, then Ezra should have his moon too. Is it Rena? No, if it was her then I would have felt it. She would have been able to guide him back but she could not do that. Rena is the one who’s supposed to be my moon so I’m following her. Then who is Ezra’s moon? It has to be a celestial wolf like Rena. My eyes widen as realization dawns upon me. There’s only one person who can have the same abilities as Rena. Venus. She’s her blood and is sensitive to my dark energies. She was repulsed when I started to shift over to my dark side. That means she has the celestial wolf as her dominant side. I run my palm over my face. Fuck, why didn’t I think of this before? Every shadow has a moon. They are a pair. Rena and I are a
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 325 : Disagreement
VERENA“Yes, it did. Dory, you did amazing!” I praise her through the mind-link. “How did you make these bullets?” “I was researching about the cloaked men and realized that there are some herbs that can work against them. So I created a concoction and laced the silver bullets with them. I wasn’t sure if they would work.” She replies. I nod. “They worked. Good job.” I turn to fight the Ashwalkers that rush towards me and kill them with one swipe of my claws. I can’t waste time. Where’s Regef and Nixie? Dad said he saw them but I can’t find him either. I should contact him. Suddenly, my head throbs and I sense Elijah trying to contact me. My heart skips a beat. It has been a long time since we contacted each other through the mind-link. Did something happen to Ezra? Is that what he’s contacting me? Panic floods my chest. I open the mind-link. “What? Did something happen? How’s Ezra?” There’s one second silence followed by his deep voice. “Rena, I think I found a solution to he
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 326 : A sign
VERENAI look around and find myself floating in a realm of ethereal beauty. Below me, clouds drift lazily, like cotton candy scattered across a vast canvas. The sky above is a brilliant blue, unmarred by a single cloud. The air is crisp and clean, filled with a sense of peace and tranquility.I feel a sense of calm wash over me, as if I'm weightless, floating on air. I've never felt so serene, so at peace. It's as if all my worries and fears have melted away, leaving only pure bliss.In the distance, I see a figure, a young girl with long, flowing hair. She stands at the edge of a cliff, her back turned to me. She wears a simple white dress, and her posture is serene. I can't see her face, but I feel a strange sense of familiarity. Who is she? And why does she seem so familiar?What is this place? “Uh, is this one of those visions again?” I ask her, as if she’d answer me. Fuck, all my worries have blocked my thinking process. “Rena, this is not just a vision. It's the celestial rea
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 327 : I believe in you
VERENAElijah is shocked to hear my words as his eyes widen. He takes some time to comprehend what I said and frowns. “You want to do this? But you said you don't want Veenie’s life to be in danger. I know I am the one who recommended it but…” he looks down, his facial muscles turning rigid with guilt, “I thought about it and realized that you’re right. She’s just a baby and this will give Umbra an easy passage to get to her.” He mutters in a low voice but I hear it clearly. I walk over to bed and look down at him. “No, I was wrong. You are right. Venus can be Ezra’s moon, the one who’s going to guide him to his light. She’s a baby but I believe that she can do it. And…” I bite my lower lip before I mutter, “I believe in you.” I say the words with as much conviction as possible. Elijah’s brows shoot up at what I say and he parts his lips to say something but then stops. His eyes harden with determination as he knows we can’t waste much time in talking right now. He nods. “Alright t
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 328 : Losing Power
VERENAI stand strong on my feet and glare at them, ready to take them down. Just then, one of them speaks. “Verena, the Luna Guardian,” The woman on the left says and I watch her thin pink lips curl into a smirk. “You truly are what everyone says.” I narrow my eyes on her. “Don’t worry, I’m not insulting you. It's actually quite admirable. A Luna Guardian needs to be strong but we haven’t encountered one. Until you arrived.” She mutters in a calm voice, one that is filled with respect and admiration. Her tone confuses me even more. Encountered a strong one? What do they mean by that? Did they face other Luna Guardians before? “But it does not matter if she’s strong or not,” The female cloaked figure at the center speaks. Her cold gray eyes have a strange kind of sinister light to them that makes a chill run down my spine. Her lips that are painted in a light blue shade curve up in a sinister smile. “What matters the most is whether she’s capable of surviving us?” The temperatur
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 329 : The Problem
ELIJAHI watch as Rena walks out of the room and closes the double doors behind her. She looks confident and fierce. I know my queen is strong to face whatever is out there. But…My gut muscles keep clenching. Why does that happen? It's like there’s an unexplainable feeling at the pit of my stomach. Something’s not right. Ezra squirms in my arms and I caress his hair. He parts his lips and starts to take deep breaths, exhaling through his mouth. I feel the cold, icy air leave his mouth. He’s getting worse with time. I remember the time Ezra was cursed and had to go through a lot. It fucking hurts to know that my son is facing so much at such a tender age. I did not want this for him. It reminds me of my own childhood. The hardships I had faced, the harsh realities that I had witnessed with my eyes. Why does my son have to go through the same thing? I wanted him to have a normal life? I wonder if it all started after I entered his life again. Sometimes I can’t help but wonder...did
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 330 : Grandpa
ELIJAH Dad looks at my son and sighs, “I’ll be here with him. I can’t do much but I have worked with Umbra and I have also given birth to a Shadow Alpha. I believe I can handle this much.” He says. Hmm. Should I put my faith in him? “Elijah,” Irene calls me out and I look at her. She warns me with her eyes, telling me not to trust me. But I have a feeling that dad won’t hurt Ezra or do anything to go against us. “I…want to be with grandpa,” Ezra mutters under his breath and rubs his face on my shirt, “Daddy, go…save mommy.” I sigh and rest my hand on his head. Then I look at dad. “If you try anything funny then you know what’ll happen.” I warn him and he nods. “I can assure you that I have no such intention.” He says and I nod. “Fine. Then I’ll leave you to him. Irene,” I look at her with a stern look. “If he tries anything, you know what to do.” I say and she crosses her arms. “Of course. I won’t hesitate,” she glares at dad. Dad isn’t threatened by her presence. “She looks

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.
