Return of the Rejected Luna “Watch your back Liana…”
I look away from Asher as the cheers die down and everyone takes their seats. Derek steps forward and addresses the crowd “We thank the goddess for her blessings upon the pack this new year. The council met today and we have decided that the pack needs a bigger home for the alpha. The new house will be built to accommodate guests from other packs and even some workers under the employ of the alpha and the luna. The old house will be given to the beta and will become his personal residence.” “Why does the alpha and luna need a new house?” I ask Hope. “The current residence of the alpha and luna is a little bit old and kind of small for the alpha, luna and beta to stay in comfortably especially when there are guests from other packs.” I nod. From the expression on Beta Asher’s face, he doesn’t seem to care about it or want to be here for that matter. “The floor will be thrown open to every member of the pack for your opinion on where the new house will be. Let us here your suggestions

That night, I lay in bed and thinking about what Derek had said about destroying my old house. It didn’t help that I was doing nothing but suppressing my anger and scaring Liana with words, those things were not enough. I had to start my revenge immediately. I stood up from the bed and grabbed a notepad and a pencil before sitting on my desk. The first thing I needed to do was find the receipt that could prove my parents weren’t here when the Campbells got murdered so I needed to think of places where the receipt could be. I didn’t have much hope that I would find it because a lot of time had passed. On the notepad, I write down a list of places where I think the receipt could be. My old home, the Campbells home, those are the only places I can think of right now. I circle ‘my old home’ and decide to start my search there. The next day, I go to Liana’s home. She seems to still be annoyed by the stunt I pulled yesterday and sends me to the kitchen to help the cooks. At the kitchen,

This was the second time I’ve run into those green eyes and just like last time, they have the same effect on me. I can’t feel Ida anymore and I feel so nervous. I watch as Asher’s eyes go from my head and drag down the entire length of my body, my entire body feels hot. I hide the maid’s uniform I carried out in my jacket and move closer to him. “Beta Asher, good evening.” When he says nothing, I smile and move to walk past him but he blocks my path. “What are you doing here and by this time?” it’s a feeling I can’t explain, but his deep voice fills every part of my body with warmth. What the hell? “Beta, I couldn’t sleep so I decided to take a stroll.” His eyebrows lift in disbelief. “You’re quite far from your home aren’t you, Alexa?” He remembers my name? In the dark house, with the light from outside shining partially on his face, he looks as surprised as me that he remembered my name. “I’m far from home because I’ve been walking for a while. You didn’t let me finish exploring t
Last Updated : 2025-01-12Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 13: “Destruction or Redemption.”
The first thing on my mind when I wake up is I absolutely cannot let Derek destroy my home. But how was I supposed to stop him alone? I didn’t have much time to plan anything and I wasn’t sure I would get any opportunity with Asher watching me so closely. Speaking of which, I had to do something about the beta suddenly showing up in places I didn’t expect. I stood off in a corner in the kitchen of the alpha/luna residence trying to come up with ways to disrupt the plan to destroy my home when the maid I served the elders with came up to me. “The cook wants to see you.” I followed the maid to an unsmiling woman with frown lines on her face. “You wanted to see me?” “You had one job yesterday. Just pour the drinks for the elders and remain unseen, was that so hard to do?” “Doesn’t that count as two jobs?” I say sweetly. The cook’s face turns a deep shade of red and she takes a step towards me. “Get out of my kitchen, I don’t ever want to see you here!” she screams. I’m about to leave wh

I turn around to see what the old man is talking about but once again, I find nobody behind me. “Where…” I begin to ask the man but when I turn back around, he’s no where to be found. I am alone. What the… “I knew he was no ordinary person.” Ida says. “What does that mean for us though?” “We’ll see.” “Was what he said true? Is the bracelet hurting you?” “I can handle it.” “Ida!” “If it got too much, I was going to tell you. This is a partnership, Alexa; I won’t keep anything from you.” I trust my wolf. Everything I’ve ever experienced; she’s also experienced with me. I would have given up if she wasn’t with me and so for Ida, I am eternally grateful to the moon goddess. “You’ll get your chance to breathe some soon Ida, I promise.” I hear Ida growl her agreement. Now where was I going to get Liana’s herbs from? “Are you the Luna’s maid?” A patrol guard asks me. “Yes?” “There’s a package for the Luna.” “Ah, yes, she sent me to get that.” The guard hands me a sealed box and leaves whil

Later that morning, I get summoned by Liana who is currently pacing the floor and chewing her nails as she mumbles to herself. The rest of her maids -three of them, stand back unsure of what to do to break her out of her bubble. A knock on the door makes Liana jump out of her skin and break her out of the bubble. When no one moves to open the door, I sigh to myself and open the door just as the soldier at the door moves to knock again. “The alpha requests the presence of the luna at the hall of the elders.” I nod and close the door. “Luna, the alpha wants to see you.” Liana lets out a breath. “Cheryl, Alexa, come with me.” Inside the hall, there are elders pacing, maids replacing drinks and soldiers muttering to themselves. Derek and Asher are the only ones seated with grim looks on their faces. When Liana takes her seat, Cheryl and I stand behind her. I study the faces of the elders and ignore the pointed look from Asher. “Luna, what was that we saw?” Elder Muriel asks. “That was a
Last Updated : 2025-01-12Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 16: “…the log is in your own eyes.”
I follow closely behind Liana as she walks quietly behind Derek, Asher and some elders walking through the house of Elder Muriel. The news of the attack on him and two other elders reached the ears of the alpha before morning and they had decided to see the sight of the attack. The room looked like a storm made out of angry wolves had blown through it. There were blood stains on the floor and splattered on the white walls, the furniture was slashed and overturned and there was broken glass everywhere. What caught the attention of everyone however, was a large claw mark. I remember how Ida had slashed the wall before running away but it looked like her claws had passed through the brick wall, the claw marks were that deep. I had no idea Ida had this much bloodlust. Derek looked angry at the whole scene, Asher looked like he was trying to solve a puzzle and the elders had varying expressions of confusion and sadness. “How on earth did this happen?” Derek growls angrily at one of the gu

“Liana! Do you hear me? Wake up!” Derek says as he shakes the still unconscious luna. The elders had noticed what had happened and finally became quiet as they watched their alpha try to wake the luna up. Asher was on his feet as well. When Liana remained unresponsive, Derek lifted her into his arms and headed for the door with Liana’s maid and myself following closely behind. “We’ll get back to this later.” Derek says to the elders before exiting the hall and heading straight for Liana’s room. As Derek placed her gently on the bed, the door opened and a man walked in carrying a briefcase. “Alpha Derek, the Beta sent me to check up on the Luna.” Derek nodded and watched as the doctor fussed over Liana. Thirty minutes later, Liana had an IV dripping a clear colored fluid into her arm while Derek clutched her hand and watched her sleeping form. I didn’t have any more feelings for Derek but the sight of him worrying over Liana got me annoyed at the obvious display of affection. Derek

Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 125: “You can hate me but…”
It takes some time for me to get to my senses, pull myself up and off from the ground and start looking for a way to fix this mess. Ramsey had not locked me back into the suite, probably assuming that I was going to curl up into a ball and cry myself to sleep. He was dead wrong. Ramsey had given Ryder the opportunity to ask for anything from me, he had sensed that I was willing to do anything. It made no sense that Ryder asked for Hope. Ryder wasn’t a gentleman, he was a brute so he didn’t need to ask me for her when he could take her by force. Ryder was playing with me.The first place I go to from the office is the hidden room I set up. It is empty and looks clean, so I guess Asher heard what happened and got out but I have no idea where he is. I grab what I need from the hidden room and head for Jessa and Hope’s house. The rogue guards watch me leave the residence of the alpha, they don’t try to stop me but I’m sure they’ll send someone to follow me. I didn’t care, as far as they l
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 124: “…I really mean it this time.”
“Ryder!” I bang my fists against the locked door of the alpha’s suite. I had been locked in the suite for almost a week now, and I was so sick and tired of being locked in here as if I was a common criminal. “Ryder!” I try again but he just ignores me. I know he’s out there, standing guard until he fully recovered from the bashing he received from Ida. “What is Ramsey up to? What is he doing?” No answer. “Hey! Stop ignoring me and let me out of here! I need to talk to him.”My fists were already burning from the force I was using to bang on the door so I decided it was probably best that I take a break. I slid down the door as my thoughts went back to Hope. Two days had already passed since she first came to see me and I still had no idea about what to do to convince Ramsey to let Kylan go. Did it mean I was giving up? No, there was no way I was going to let Hope’s baby grow up without a father. But there was also no way I was going to give up Asher’s location or reject him. I was stu
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 123: "...I'll do anything for you..."
“Kylan, no!” I scream just as he brings down the silver club on Ramsey’s head. The intention to kill Ramsey is so clear in Kylan’s eyes. For a moment, time slows down as Kylan brings the club down and then it happens so fast that for a split second, I don’t understand what happens. The club connects but not on Ramsey’s head and then Kylan is pushed so hard that he collides into a tree that breaks into two from the impact. That is how hard he was pushed.My mouth is wide open in shock as I take in the scene before me. Ryder stands over Ramsey, with blood pouring down his arm with the look of murder on his face. Where on earth did he come from? I realize that he blocked the blow meant for Ramsey’s head with his hand and then shoved Kylan away like he was swatting away a fly.“Alpha, are you okay?” Ryder helps Ramsey up to his feet, he staggers a bit before standing still and wiping the blood dripping down his head. Ramsey shakes off Ryder’s hand and points to Kylan who is still trying t
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 122: “…the aftermath…”
I am trying so hard to rein Ida in but she’s too strong for me to suppress. She stands there growling at a rage filled Ramsey, ready to do anything to protect me and my oath to our mate. “Ida, don’t provoke him! He might hurt you!” What was I saying? Ramsey had already found out that I didn’t reject Asher and that was provoking enough for him. He practically vibrated with anger as he stood across from me.“I want to speak to Alexa, bring her to me now!” He finally explodes and charges at Ida, eyes dark with rage. My best bet and the only way I could get out of this situation with little or no injuries would be to let Ida take full control, I had to stop holding her back. Ida dodges Ramsey’s first attack and I decide to let her handle this, I was out of options.Ramsey’s eyes change to the colour of his wolf –a creepy red colour, as he watches me shift into my wolf. Ida bares her razor sharp teeth at him and stands ready for whatever he was going to throw at us. “Is this how you want i
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 121:“You’re not my mate!”
“Are you okay?” “I’m fine, why are you asking?” “Nothing, you just seem a bit…” “Tired?” I supply. It was hard for me to hide anything from Asher, especially now that we were mates. He knew me and he saw things that I thought I had hidden well. After Ramsey’s declaration of a second wedding night, I had searched for a solution but found none and the weekend started tomorrow. I had ended up giving myself a headache and I looked even worse than before. I had given up on finding a solution and decided to come see Asher. We were cuddling on the small bed in the room as he lazily stroked my back.I thought I had hidden my worry about the situation I was in well from him, but he just saw right through it. “Yeah, you look tired but that wasn’t what I was going to say. Are you sure everything is okay?” Asher says with a frown on his face as he tilts my face to his. I had to think of something fast or he was going to find out about the wedding night, and there wasn’t anything I could do to sto
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 120: "...delusion..."
“Where were you, Alexa?” Ramsey says again and walks slowly towards me, like a lion stalking its prey. “I couldn’t sleep so I went for a walk.” When did I become so anxious at the sight of Ramsey? No, this wasn’t a new thing, he always gave me a bad feeling whenever I saw him, but these days, especially since the day he killed those innocent people, the sight of him made my skin crawl even more. “I know I haven’t been so attentive to you these days and I’m sorry, you’ll have me all to yourself this weekend.” “What does that mean?” Ramsey nods to a seat in the room.When I finally settle down, he continues. “We haven’t had our wedding night yet, Alexa. It makes it feel like something is missing from our marriage.” I try not to shake his hand off of me when he starts to stroke my hair. “We need this wedding night to bond us, to bring us closer. The pack needs an alpha and a luna, you know.” “Who told you that we needed a wedding night to be close?” “Alexa, we are married.” “So?” “So, I
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 119: "...reunion."
Choosing Asher was the best decision I made in those tense moments. “I’m so glad you’re safe. Thank you for being safe.” I manage to say around the tears clogging my throat. “I promised you, didn’t I?” Asher replies with a small smile on his face. My smile is so huge as I run my hand through his shoulder length hair. “You need a haircut.” “Later.” “Why not now?” “Later.” He says again. “Asher you-“His lips press on mine, cutting off whatever I was going to say. “I missed you. So much.” He murmurs against my lips.My arms go around his neck as he deepens the kiss, pulling me closer to him by wrapping his strong arms around my waist. I missed those arms around me so much. My hands make a trail from around his neck, down his chest and slip under his shirt to feel those hard muscles. I moan when my fingers connect to them and decide that this isn’t enough, I want skin on skin. Asher stops me when I fiddle with his buttons and I am about to protest when he rips the shirt off himself, scatt
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 118: “…my destiny.”
I haven’t been able to sleep for the past three days. When night comes, all I do is toss and turn in my bed. The few times I’ve been able to sleep, my dreams are filled with images of Henry the guard-wolf, looking at me with sad eyes while blood pours from the hole in his stomach. Other times, it is Evan’s son lying on the ground, his eyes open, looking at me while vultures feast on him. Some days, I see Asher running towards me but he is caught and killed by Ramsey, the same way he killed Henry, and I wake up in my bed soaked with sweat, like someone emptied a bucket of water while I was sleeping.The only good thing that happens during these three days is that Ramsey doesn’t try to share the room with me. A part of me is glad but the other part of me is worried about what he must be up to next. There’s no way he’d listen to me and give me space.Five days later, I look worse than I have ever and I’ve stopped coming out of my room. I don’t hear from either Ares or Kylan and that make
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 117: “…it feels too much for me.”
“Where? Where is he?” Kylan hands me a note. I take it from him and stare at it. “Alexa, you should read that.” I nod. “Come in.” I shut the door behind him and open the folded paper he gave me. I recognize Sue’s delicate handwriting.“How are you doing Alexa? I hope you are holding on? I just received word from Valor that he has found your mate. As I write this, they are on their way back to here. Valor didn’t say much but Asher is fine, he’s okay so you can stop worrying about him. As for Liana, there’s been no new news on our end but we won’t stop looking. I know we are close and we’ll soon find her. I wish you strength always. Love, Sue.”After reading the note, a sigh of relief pushes past my lips and I feel my mood lift. Asher was okay, he was still alive. “Now what, Alexa?” Kylan asks. “Honestly? I don’t know. We are sitting ducks without Liana’s testimony. The other packs won’t be willing to help us without Liana saying anything. She’s the most important part of our plan.” “Ho
