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 91 : Stuck
VERENAOur hands brush against each other, and a tingling shiver runs down my back. I snatch my hand back, my heart hammering as Elijah stares down at the book.He snags the book before I can, flipping through the pages with ease. Sunlight highlights the sharp angles of his jaw and the way his dark eyes glint as they scan the text. His hair is messy, probably from rushing over here. Suddenly, I have a strange urge to mess it up even more.And maybe, just maybe, get a whiff of whatever cologne he’s wearing. It smells… good. Really good.Serena purrs inside me, having woken up from her slumber. “Go for it,” she encourages.Elijah’s voice breaks my thoughts. “If you are done eye-fucking me, then concentrate on finding the book. This one isn’t it.” He slaps the book closed and places it back on the shelf.“I wasn’t looking at you. I was looking at that… shelf behind you,” I reply confidently.“Yeah, sure. Whatever you say.” He flashes me a sexy smirk that takes my breath away. Why is he l
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 92 : Powers Lost
VERENA Books tumble down on me, but an arm shoots out and grabs the falling hardcover before it can land on my head. I look up, my heart pounding.Elijah looks back, glaring at me. “Be careful.”I huff. “Well, I was. It's you who’s distracting me with your talking,” I retort.“So I do affect you.” He smirks, and my jaw tightens.“Whatever.” I quickly head out to the next shelf.I don’t know how much time has passed, but I feel exhausted. Drake plops into one of the armchairs before the fireplace, yawning. “I covered thirty shelves, and there’s no book on celestial wolves. This is not a library. It's a book town!” He rests his chin on his arm. “It's so huge that I might find aliens hiding somewhere.”“Stop with the excuses. You are just incapable, that’s all,” Dory says while biting her thumbnail, her eyes trained on the book she’s holding.Elijah joins us and looks at me with a disappointed look. “I have searched everywhere. There’s no book on celestial wolves.” He says, and my heart
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 93 : Possessed
VERENAA tense silence falls on the library. I stare at Dad, my eyes wide and my heart thumping.What? He lost his powers?!“How is that possible?” I ask.He sighs heavily, looking at his palm. “The attack that happened, it made me lose a lot. Not only your mother’s life and you, but I also lost my celestial powers that day. My wolf survived, but his powers were gone.” He explains, sadness glinting in his eyes.“How did you lose it?” Elijah asks, observing my dad with his arms crossed. “Did the enemy have something that can cause harm to a celestial wolf?”Dad frowns at him and then looks at the window. “It was more like a rogue attack,” he answers and Elijah’s brows shoot up.“Rogues? But rogues can’t harm a celestial wolf.”Dad’s jaw tightens. “They were different. Not like your usual rogue. Hollow eyes, burned skin. They were hard to fight.”Elijah looks at me, his eyes lighting up with realization. “Ashwalkers,” he mutters and my breath hitches.“You were attacked by Ashwalkers?”
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 94 : Plea For Help
VERENA Footsteps thunder inside the room and I feel a pair of strong arms hold me from behind. Elijah’s scent crawls up my nose as he helps me get on my feet. “What the fuck just happened?” he asks as he looks at Ezra, his eyes wide.As Dad enters the room, Ezra’s baseball bat levitates toward him.“Duck!” Elijah roars, shoving me down behind the bed as a toy airplane soars above us with a few more flying objects. It slams into the wall with a crack, raining down splinters of plastic.“What happened to Ezra?” Elijah asks as we both lie on the floor.“I don’t know. He’s probably possessed,” I answer.“Possessed? By a curse?” Elijah asks and looks at Ezra, who’s simply sitting on the bed like a statue. Before I can answer, a nearby chair lurches towards us. “See?” I yelp, grabbing his arm. We both tumble to the other side of the bed just as the chair thuds down, missing me by a hair’s breadth.The twins and Dad are also victims of the furniture flying in the room. Drake deflects the i
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 95 : Family's Support
VERENAAnother guttural, inhuman laugh rips from Ezra’s throat. “You can’t do anything,” the voice echoes, cold and distorted. Then, as quickly as it appears, the silver light in his eyes fades. His body crumples, eyes rolling back, and he collapses unconscious onto the bed.My vision blurs as I look at him and then my arm. His bite marks my skin. But the pain isn’t more than seeing my child suffer.I don’t care if he kills me. I just want him to be saved.The clock ticks, each tick a blow against the tense silence gripping the lounge we sit in. Half an hour has crawled by since Ezra…he got possessed. Celine is in Ezra’s room, checking his vitals.The rest of us sit scattered around the lounge, worry etched on our faces. Dad stares blankly at the wall, his jaw clenching. Elijah seems to be focusing on a point on the floor, his brows furrowing. The twins stare out the window. None of us dare to speak, the weight of the recent incident hanging heavy in the air.Curses bring bad luck and

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.
