Rejected Luna: He wants me back 83 : A Surprise?
VERENAHe was fine this morning. Totally healthy. He’s not one to fall sick under the weather as he’s an Alpha wolf. Alpha wolves have strong immunity.I purse my lips. Alpha Nova is right. It has to be the curse’s effect.I gently hold Maria’s arm. “Don’t worry. Dad will be fine. I’ll call a witch tomorrow.”“Huh? A witch?” She frowns at me.I nod. “Yes. I’ll explain everything to you. But we need to act fast.”The next day, we get a witch to do a purification ritual on the house.“The curse is strong in the house. All I can do is wipe it away temporarily.” Naira looks at me as she pulls out a spray bottle from her canvas bag. “Keep in mind that it can come back, so the purification ritual won’t give you a hundred percent results.” The witch explains, and I notice the piercing on her lower lip.She does the ritual and an hour later, she hands me the spray bottle. “Whenever the curse affects someone in the house, spray it on that person. It has moonsilver water, so it should work.” Sh

VERENA“Drake! Dory!” I yell their names and pull them into a tight hug.“Luna!” Dory squeals as I wrap my arms around her. Maybe it's because of how stressed I have been that I am acting like a child. But I can’t hold back the tears in my eyes as I see them.I break the hug and look at them. They look different.They have both grown and are adults now.Drake isn’t that scrawny kid anymore. He’s all buffed out with broad shoulders and is taller than I remember. His brown hair, maybe a shade darker, is still short and messy, kind of like it always was. And those brown eyes match the brown leather jacket he’s wearing over a white t-shirt and ripped jeans that frame his muscular legs.But his eyes hold that same glint of mischief. “Holy shit! I barely recognize you! How long has it been?” he asks, smirking playfully at me while he has one hand on his jeans pocket. I am sure he garners a lot of attention from the ladies back at the pack.Dory slaps his arm, glaring at him. “Four years, idi

VERENAMy heart tugs on hearing it. Sometimes he does that when he’s too focused or stressed about something.He’ll get an earful from me. How dare he ask me if I ate or not while he’s skipping his own meals?“Wait, Luna. I heard that you also shifted,” Dory says as we walk out of Ezra’s room and head to the living room.“Yeah, recently.”“It's a celestial wolf, right?” she asks, and I nod.“Yep, that’s me,” Serena says inside my head.“She can’t hear you,” I retort to my wolf.“Ugh, being a wolf sucks!” she says, and I can feel her disappointment. “I should have been the human, you should have been the wolf.”I hold the urge to roll my eyes. She has a five-year-old’s mind.“Hmmm.” Dory stops midway in the hall, and Drake almost collides with her as he’s walking behind her.“Hey! Move your fat ass,” he scowls at her.“Shut up, macaroni head. I'm thinking something here,” she retorts, and his jaw tightens.“You—”“Calm down, no fighting,” I tell them both while pressing my lips to hold

VERENA“You wolves talk to her through some magical phone?” I ask her.“No, silly. We have some kind of a… eh… what’s the word for it?” She takes her sweet time to think before responding. “Yes! Cosmic connection. We talked through that but now I can’t. I don’t know what happened.”The Goddess isn’t guiding her celestial wolves anymore? That’s strange.“Here are some drinks for the kids.” Maria’s voice breaks through my conversation with Serena. She walks into the living room with a tray and sets it on the coffee table.“But we are not kids…” Drake replies with a displeased frown.“Aw, but you are kids to me.” She ruffles Drake’s hair, and Dory snickers again. “Here, this is for you…” She hands them her special Minty Mango Mocktail.Later at night, we have dinner together with Dad joining us. He’s in better shape now and is chuckling as Dory makes a joke. His hate for the Iron Claw Pack is only reserved for Elijah. Though I don’t think he hates him anymore.“Oh my Goddess, I am going

VERENA“Did you forget we have a guest cottage? They won’t be harmed there. Also, you said you have that water to purify the house, right? So what’s there to worry about? I’ll make all the arrangements to make sure they are safe.”My muscles relax. Dad always keeps his word, so I have nothing to worry about.I look at the twins. “Yes, please stay. I’d like to show you around the pack,” I plead.“Man, I can’t refuse a request made by the Luna,” Drake says in a frustrated voice, and Dory smiles.I take them to the Guest Cottage that’s not very far from the main building and has a swimming pool. As Dad promised, everything is arranged for them, including the clothes and daily necessities they need since they haven’t brought any luggage.I spend some time exchanging light conversations with them, and once I make sure they are comfortable, I head back to the mansion.I walk inside Ezra’s room and find him sleeping. My heart clenches. I fed him dinner before I had mine, and the poor thing c
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 88 : What He Wants To Eat
VERENA“Alright. Let him in,” I say and get up from the bed.The moment I push open the foyer door, his musky, citrusy scent hits me. It sends a jolt straight to my stomach. He’s already turned, his broad, powerful frame filling the doorway. As our eyes meet, my breath catches in my throat.“I didn’t expect you to come today,” I say as I stand before him.He stares at me for a few seconds before he pulls out his phone and shows it to me. “I sent you so many messages last night. Twenty missed calls. Your phone was switched off,” he says, his tone showing his anger.Worry washes over his face before it's quickly replaced with a mask of annoyance. He holds up his phone, the screen showing his call log. “I tried calling you all night,” he says, his voice a low rumble. “Fifty messages. Your phone was off?” he asks, glaring at me. “I was so fucking worried, Rena. That’s why I came here to see if you aren’t doing anything reckless by yourself.”I purse my lips. “The battery died so I couldn’t
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 89 : Something In Return
VERENAI prepare the plate with scrambled eggs, sausage crumbles, diced potatoes, peppers, and onions. Then I hand it to him. He frowns as he looks at the plate he’s holding.“Go and eat,” I order, crossing my arms.His jaw tightens. “I told you, I am not hungry. At least not for this.” My heart skips a beat as his eyes slide over my body. I am wearing a casual gray shirt and pink shorts, my hair loosely tied in a bun.I give him a tight smile. “If you don’t eat, then I’m not talking to you from now on,” I warn.He raises a brow. “Is that a threat?”“Absolutely.”He rolls his eyes. “Fine.”I smile in victory as he heads over to the dining table. He keeps the plate on the table and looks at me, his gaze filled with mischief. “But on one condition. You have to feed me,” he adds, and my eyes go wide.“This is not a bargain, Alpha Elijah,” I say, my voice stern.He narrows his eyes and reluctantly grabs the fork to start eating. I pour him a glass of water and take the seat beside him. He
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 90 : In The Library
VERENAMy heart beats loudly against my chest. The edge of his lips curls into a smirk. “I want to take you out on a date…” He looms closer, his intense gaze stealing my breath away. “And I’ll make sure you have the best time of your life.” His voice dips to a whisper, sending shivers down my spine.How can I resist him?He surely knows how to charm me.I force a smile, my cheeks warm under his gaze. “That all depends,” I tease, letting out a shaky breath. “If you find the book.”“Challenge accepted,” he replies with a smug look. But then his eyes flicker with longing. “Can I see Ezra?” he asks, his voice laced with concern.I slowly nod and get up from the chair. We walk up the stairs, keeping our steps light so that we don’t disturb anybody’s sleep, and I slowly open the door to Ezra’s room.The room is quiet except for the chirping of birds peeking through the closed window shutters. Ezra’s chest heaves below the blanket as he sleeps soundly, the silver marks clearly visible on his

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

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

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

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.
