Rejected Luna: He wants me back 72 : Friends No More
VERENACarlisle averts his gaze. “So he told you everything,” he says in a low voice.“Why did you lie to me?” I ask, feeling a little betrayed by him. “Elijah was dying, and I had no idea.” Guilt gnaws at me, a heavy weight in my chest.He runs a hand through his blonde hair, frustration creasing his forehead. “I didn’t trust his motives. For all I knew, he could have orchestrated the whole thing with Nixie, some elaborate plan to win you back. How can you trust a word out of his mouth?”Anger bubbles within me. “He had the same burn marks on his hand, Carlisle, the ones dad had. He was the one who sent the cure. Dad is alive because of Elijah’s sacrifice.”It makes me happy knowing that Elijah went out of his way to protect my dad. It shows that he really cares for me. The thought warms my heart.Carlisle’s eyes turn wide in shock. “I–I didn’t know that.” He looks at his glass. “The doctor did talk about him needing to find a witch, but I felt like he had put the poison in him delibe
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 73 : Cursed
VERENAThe sterile scent of disinfectant fills the air as I stand across from Dr. Walker, my heart hammering against my ribs. Ezra lies unconscious in the bed behind me, hooked up to a dizzying array of machines. My baby.“He has aplastic anemia,” Dr. Walker explains, a grim expression on his face.Shock rips through me. “Aplastic anemia?” I rasp.“Yes,” he continues, his voice low. “But interestingly, his medical history shows no prior indications or risk factors.”Confusion clouds my mind. “Then how is it possible?”He looks at the bed before looking back at me. “That’s what I also want to know. Aplastic anemia in children is uncommon. But what—” he stops abruptly. I don’t understand why he does until I see Ezra.A gasp leaves my lips as faint, shimmering silver markings appear on Ezra’s face, like intricate tattoos. I rush to him and touch his face. As my finger comes in contact with his skin, I flinch. His skin is so cold.“Luna,” Dr. Walker’s voice, filled with horror, reaches me
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 74 : Blood Transfusion
VERENAMy dad’s reaction is instantaneous. A guttural growl rips from his throat as he glares at Elijah. “Who the hell let you in here?” Hate burns in his eyes. He hates Elijah for everything he has done to me, and I didn’t get the time to explain anything to him. “Security! Throw him out!”I lunge forward. “Dad, wait! He can be the donor. He’s an Alpha. O negative, remember? We need to save Ezra first.”Dad’s face contorts, his emotions battling. He hates Elijah but also wants to save Ezra. “Fine,” he spits. “But you’ll give your blood and leave. Nothing more.” He warns.Elijah simply nods and walks with the medical staff to run some tests to check if his blood is compatible. Since our medical technology is top-notch, the tests don’t take much time, and they confirm that Elijah can donate his blood to Ezra.Relief floods me as they begin the transfusion process.I stand inside the ward, keeping my back pressed against the wall. A pressure cuff on Ezra’s upper arm inflates and deflate
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 75 : Stay With You
VERENAElijah’s face morphs into worry as he says, “Nixie’s body was replaced in the cemetery, so we believe she’s alive. Also, Theon’s body is missing.”My stomach coils into knots. “Did you learn this after our meeting at the fair?” I ask sternly.He shifts his gaze to the window through which the afternoon light filters in, painting his sharp face in an amber glow. He shakes his head slowly. I can hear his heart race. “I knew about this the night we met. The night you shifted.”Anger blazes inside me. My fist curls. “Why? Why didn’t you tell me this, Elijah?” I ask, glaring at him.Why does everyone keep hiding things from me?He looks back at me, his brow furrowing. “I believed I'd find Nixie soon. I was searching for her before I came to the fair,” he explains. So that’s why he was late. His face softens. “I didn’t expect things to escalate this far.” The sadness and guilt are clear in his voice.But that’s not enough to reduce my anger.I keep my voice low so that Ezra isn’t dist
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 76 : The Snowman's Heart
VERENAElijah lifts his gaze at me. “Can I stay?” There’s that longing in his eyes that I can’t miss.A heavy sigh leaves my lips. “Alright.” It's true that I am angry at Elijah. But I can’t let that get in between him and Ezra. “He can stay.”Ezra beams with happiness. “Yay.” His voice is still a little hoarse, but he looks much better.I slowly feed him and once he’s fed, I wipe his mouth with the wet tissue. Ezra has a sad look on his face as he asks, “Mommy, when will we go back home?”My heart clenches at his words. He has no idea of the silver marks on his face, no idea what he went through. I ruffle his head while plastering a smile on my face. “Soon, sweetie.” I assure him, but it all depends on his condition. I can only pray right now for him to get better so the hospital releases him.Ezra nods while laying down on the bed. I tuck him under the sheets. “I don’t like sleeping here.” He pouts. My heart breaks on seeing him so sad.“How about I tell you a bedtime story?” Elijah
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 77 : Cute To Tease
ELIJAHI yank Verena by her wrist, and she muffles a gasp as she falls on my chest. When she looks up, her green eyes glare at me through the darkness of the room. “You—” she whispers.“Wanted to sleep with me so badly? You could have said so.” I tease with the edge of my lips lifting in a smirk. But my mind is elsewhere, focused on her soft breasts pressing on my waist, not very far from my pants.I want to play with them, but I keep that thought to myself.Rena’s eyes shoot daggers at me. “I have no intention of sleeping with you. I came here to give you the pillow.” She points at the white pillow that’s on the floor now.“Oh really? Then why is your heart racing?” I ask seductively and enjoy the soft red hue on her cheeks as she blushes. So cute.“I—I am not.” She denies, her voice betraying her intentions.I slowly snake my arms over her waist, making her gasp. My fingers run down her curves. “How about now? Hmm. I smell something…maybe that’s you getting wet—”“Shut up!” She yell
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 78 : Fear Love
VERENAHis sudden question shocks me. Nixie. Have I seen her before anywhere?“No, I don’t think so. If I did, I can’t remember,” I reply.Elijah hums in thought. “I see. Nixie seems to have a strange obsession with you. She wears your clothes and uses your perfume.”My brows shoot up. “She does?” That’s news to me.“Mhmm. When I confront her about it, she flies off the handle and her goody-two-shoes facade breaks,” he adds while his brow furrows.Well, she does act like a goody-two-shoes to fool people. Now that he said it, I remember Nixie wearing my black dress at the exhibition four years ago. I didn’t make much out of it back then, just considered it to be another one of her annoying tactics.But now it makes sense! It looks like she is trying to copy me.“Why do you think she’s doing all this?” I ask.Elijah sighs while his eyes look into the distance. “I speculate that she and you have some kind of connection. Maybe she has met you before and you don’t remember?”I purse my lips
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 79 : Marry Him
VERENAMy heart sinks in my chest. He left.Well, it isn’t like I was expecting him to stay. He has a pack to run.But…I release a heavy sigh. His presence kept me calm. Now I feel a little…empty.My phone vibrates, so I turn on the screen, and my heart skips a beat when I see Elijah’s name flash. He has sent a message.I quickly press the message to open it.‘Good morning. Sorry, I had to leave early. Some work has come up at the pack. Didn’t want to wake you up.’ it reads.Another message pops through the silence, making my heart leap in my throat. It's Elijah again.‘Thank you for letting me stay. I’ll update you if we find any leads on Nixie.’Another message.‘Looking forward to seeing you and Ezra again.’My lips tug in a smile. His messages spread warmth through my body. He tried to add an emoji, but he sucks at it.I put the phone back and get up to check on Ezra.Some hours later, the hospital releases Ezra since Elijah’s blood has worked, and Dr. Walker confirms that his con

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.
