Rejected Luna: He wants me back 58 : Live
ELIJAHCarlisle's booming voice rattles the hallway. "Spill it, Donovan! Stealing the baby? Talk now, or—"A hacking cough explodes from my throat, a metallic spray painting the floor red. Carlisle's grip slackens, his blue eyes widening in shock. "What the hell? You okay?""Poison," I rasp, the world tilting on its axis. The harsh fluorescent lights blur into a swirling mess. Darkness creeps in at the edges, and the last thing I register is Carlisle's face morphing from rage to genuine concern. —--------------------The harsh smell of disinfectant stings my nose as I crack open an eye. White ceiling. I am definitely not waking up in my own bed. I groan, turning my head to find myself in a sterile hospital room – Moonlight Pack Hospital, to be precise.A man in his fifties with glasses perched on his nose appears beside the bed. Doctor, by the looks of the white coat. "Mr. Donovan? You alright?" he asks, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.Before I can croak out a reply,
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 59 : A Luna and A Mother
VERENAFour years later…The heavy oak doors groan open, shattering the orphanage's peace. A furious woman in her fifties storms in, her face twisted in rage. "What is this intrusion, Luna Verena?" she roars. "This is my orphanage, you can't just waltz in here!"I meet her gaze, my own turning icy. "Lower your voice, Warden Susan. I am the Luna of the Moonlight Pack." My voice booms with authority, silencing her. “I have received disturbing reports about the treatment of omega children in your care. Rumors of mistreatment and…worse.” Panic flickers in the warden's eyes, replacing her anger. "Lies!" she sputters, voice cracking. "I'd never hurt a single hair on their heads! I love them all dearly."My gaze darts to a young girl cowering behind me, her body shaking. She peeks nervously between me and the warden, the source of the whispers. “Apparently, this girl has a different story to tell,” I say, my voice softens for her. "Right, Mazie?"The girl flinches, but a spark of defiance ig
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 60 : Who sent the cure?
VERENAA wave of emotion crashes over me as I ruffle Ezra's black hair, the same shade as his eyes. He's his father's twin, and the resemblance clenches my heart. Elijah. No matter how much I fight it, the past clings to me, a constant reminder.Being Luna means endless events and pack politics. The biggest thorn in my side? Alliance proposals from the Iron Claw Pack, each one hand-written by Elijah himself. Each one gets a firm rejection. A few months back, our paths crossed at an event. He looked…different. We didn’t talk as an urgent matter demanded my attention. Drake, Dory, and Irene are still my closest friends. Yet, they don’t mention Elijah in our call conversations. It's like they're hiding something.Sometimes, I wonder if he’s alright. News reached me about a major battle with his brother, Theon, but that was years ago, when Ezra was just a baby. Back then, vivid dreams plagued me, dreams of Elijah begging for help."The Goddess gem fulfills prayers made with pure intention
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 61 : A Nagging Question
VERENAExcitement and anticipation thrum through me as I gaze into the mirror. My midnight blue hair cascades down my back in loose waves, the ends playfully curled.My dress is a deep forest green, flowing gracefully around my figure, highlighting my curves."Happy birthday, Mommy!" Ezra yells, bursting in and wrapping his arms around my legs. I beam at his adorable wish and crouch down to kiss his cheek."Thank you, sweetie.""I got something for you," he says, and I raise an eyebrow. A whirring sound catches my attention, and I watch the electronic robot Dad gifted him walk through the door. It stops before me."Cody, wish Momma," Ezra instructs the robot. Cody?The robot named Cody starts moving its hands and legs, almost like dancing, and sings a happy birthday song. Then it pauses and pulls out a rose from its belly, which slides open like a door. The robot raises the rose at me. "Happy birthday, Momma," it says in a robotic voice.My lips part in surprise, and I playfully raise
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 62 : Serena
VERENAI start to respond to Carlisle, but a tingling sensation erupts through my body, spreading like wildfire through my veins. The bouquet falls from my shaking hand. "I-I think it's happening," I gasp, my voice tight with anticipation.Heat pulses beneath my skin, making me sweat. It's not midnight yet, but I guess the wolf inside is ready to come out.Carlisle's voice cuts through the tension, "Rayn, she's shifting!"The hall falls silent. Dad rushes to us with Ezra. His calm voice reaches me. "You need to head to the courtyard. Now!""I'll take her!" Carlisle suggests.Dad shakes his head. "No. A celestial wolf goes through the process alone. It's our ritual.""Fine." I can feel the disappointment in his voice."Take care of Ezra. Make sure he doesn't stay close to the courtyard when I'm shifting," I tell Dad. I won't have any control over the process, and Ezra might get hurt if he stays close."Don't worry. Now go!" Dad yells."All the best, Mommy!" Ezra cheers from behind.I wa
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 63 : Mate, again?
VERENAMy heart explodes. Elijah. He's here.His dark eyes land on me. "Verena?" His deep voice cuts through the silent night. The moonlight falls on his chiseled face, highlighting the scar running down his left eye.Why is he here?"It's time for me to shift back," Serena says, her tone mischievous. "Your turn.""Wait, no!" I blurt out, fear jolting through me.But it's too late. Serena shifts back, and I'm left standing before Elijah. His gaze intensifies on me. The cold air hits my bare chest. I'm completely naked. Shame washes over me, my cheeks burning hot.His eyes rake over my curves, sending a shiver down my spine. I quickly cross my arms over my large breasts and cross my legs to cover myself. My dress must have been ripped by the sheer force of Serena's transformation. I should have gotten a more shift-resistant dress…and also undergarments.The forest is silent, with an occasional rustle of leaves or the distant hoot of an owl. Moonlight filters through the thick canopy of
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 64 : Proud
ELIJAH"Carlisle handled Nixie?" My voice is laced with confusion. "When?"Rena looks at me, her confidence unwavering."Is that what he told you?" I ask. That bastard. He lied.Rena frowns. "Doesn't matter what he told me." She sighs, looking down. "Why am I even wasting my time talking to you?" she mumbles, turning to leave. “Goodbye, Alpha Elijah.” I grab her wrist. "Rena, wait. There's something I need to talk to you about."Her back stiffens, and she slowly looks back. Her long hair cascades down my jacket, her floral scent making me hard. I fight the urge to pull her close and kiss her senseless. After motherhood, she's gotten sexier. "Let go," she says sternly. I realize I'm still holding her wrist. I reluctantly release it, watching her turn fully towards me. Her green eyes, hidden under those long lashes, blaze with rage. "I don't have time for this, Alpha Elijah." Her voice is calm, despite the fire in her eyes. "I have a pack to run."The corner of my mouth lifts. "I know.
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 65 : Missing Bodies
ELIJAH“What?!”Theon’s body is missing?I glance at the forest, searching for Rena. But she’s gone. A sigh escapes my lips. She won’t believe anything I say now. It’s my fault. I couldn’t tell her the truth all these years. But will she ever forgive me? I doubt it.I turn back to Joshua. “How is that possible? He was executed right before our eyes. We even buried him.”A lot has happened in these four years. Theon tried to escape prison, killing some of my men with a hidden weapon. Then he went after the twins, Drake and Dory. But I protected them. They’re safe now.I had no choice but to execute my brother for his crimes. He was poisoned with wolfsbane, then buried in the pack’s cemetery. Despite being my enemy, I gave him a proper funeral.Joshua’s voice cuts through my thoughts. “One of the cemetery guards saw it, Elijah. Theon’s tomb was dug up, his coffin empty.”Worry knots in my stomach. “Start an investigation immediately,” I order. “Search the entire pack for his body.”He n

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
