Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 15: “…give him something to worry about…”
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
Last Updated : 2025-01-22Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 18: “Will you really reject me?”
I stand with my back pressed flat against the wall of a house and watch for any sign of movement from the house across from it. I had been here watching the white colored house for almost an hour now, just waiting and watching. The past five days had been very busy for everyone working in the residence of the alpha/luna. The patrol wolves were busy during the night, on the lookout for the ‘rogue’ wolf that had attacked the three elders. The maids were constantly snapped at by Derek and the frustrated elders who were stressed that no new leads had been found. Liana had refused to leave her room, and stayed locked in for days muttering to herself. She wasn’t eating either and this made Derek even madder and had him blaming us for not taking care of her properly. Liana’s maids had been reduced to just two -a weak omega maid and myself. This made the work harder and piled on more pressure from Derek. Liana was finally feeling better and we could breathe some, and I could get back to unf

“This is unacceptable!” “Are the patrol wolves even doing their jobs?” “I hear he’s in a coma.” “I heard he died and was resuscitated somehow!” “Two rogue attacks? Is that even possible?” “Maybe elder Evan was right about it being…that girl.” “Silence!” The murmurs of the elders stop and the hall immediately goes silent at Derek roar. The elders were meeting again with Derek, Asher and Liana after the attack on Lucas last night. The tension in the air could be felt, you could almost reach out and touch it with your fingers. They were all shaken, Ida’s attacks had brought out fears they didn’t even know they had and made them see just how vulnerable they all were. They weren’t untouchable, they could be attacked as well. Not knowing who the enemy was, was also driving them crazy. Unfortunately, I couldn’t enjoy their fears. My mind kept replaying the words of the pack doctor who had come in earlier to explain the injuries Lucas had sustained. His right leg had been broken clean a

I leave without looking back and keep my head down till I make it home, then I lock myself in my room and head straight for the dressing mirror. My cheeks look flushed and my heart is still beating fast from whatever feeling had passed between me and Asher when our eyes met. I didn’t understand these feelings and it looked like he didn’t understand them as well. Now I didn’t know what to do with them, I didn’t even know what they were. I sigh and step back from the mirror, collapsing backward on my bed, I push the thoughts of a certain green eyed beta and what he made me feel into a mental drawer and locked it, tossing the keys to the back of my mind. “Ida, what is our next move?” “I think it’s best if I don’t go out for a while.” I remember the brutality of her attack on Lucas. “Right. How do we stir them up this time? It seems they are still in denial.” Ida is silent for a moment and then she says, “What better way for them to acknowledge things than for Genevieve herself to show u
Last Updated : 2025-01-25Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 21: “Say her name.”
The atmosphere at the residence of the Alpha/Luna is tighter than the last time the other incidents had happened. Nobody looked like they had had a good night’s sleep, they all looked like they had stayed up wondering just how mad Elder Charles had become. After I had left his house last night, Charles had stormed out of his house screaming hysterically that the old Luna had tried to kill him. Nobody could make sense of what he was talking about or maybe they chose not to which wasn’t surprising as everyone in this room was always in denial. Derek rubbed his temples while Liana chewed her bottom lip and murmured to herself. Nobody seemed to care as the rest of them were in worlds of their own as well –all except Asher, who was absent. “Liana, you said this was a rogue wolf, you said the moon goddess confirmed it herself.” Derek asked tiredly. All eyes fell to the seer who was still mumbling to herself. The door suddenly opened and Asher walked in looking like he had just rolled out o
Last Updated : 2025-01-25Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 22: “People change.”
When I return to Liana’s room, she’s still pacing and chewing on her thumb nail but stops when she notices me staring at her. “What? Do you have anything to say?” “Not really, Luna. I understand why you did what you did but I assure you, I am not who you think I am, I mean no harm.” Liana walks into my personal space. “If you ever prove me right, you’ll find yourself in big trouble, Alexa.” I smile at her. “I understand, Luna.” After a few moments, she steps back from me. “Something about her bothers me.” “What do you mean Ida?” “Her visions, why were they wrong?” I had thought of that from the first time Liana had said she had seen a rogue wolf in her visions. Why were her visions wrong? “I have a plan but I need to be alone with her.” Ida says. “That will be a problem Ida. She is the Luna, how can we get her alone?” “We should try.” How do I get Liana alone? By the time the night rolls in, I still have no idea how to get Liana alone. With the elders, it was different because most

“They summoned you without an investigation? Isn’t that against the rules?” Hope screams out. “Shh, someone could hear you.” I say. “But this!” she holds out the summons letter and shakes it. “The Luna saw what she saw, I guess the elders took her word for it.” “Oh please, everyone knows the Luna has a problem with you.” “True, but she wasn’t the only witness.” Hope collapses on the sofa and sighs, finally out of complaints. “How are you so chill about this?” She asks me and I shrug.That morning, I had shown Hope and Jessa the letter then explained what had really happened and they were trying to come up with ways I could defend myself but I knew that with Liana involved, nothing I said would let me off the hook. The hearing was to take place by two in the afternoon and it was already thirty minutes past one. I was dressed in a simple dark blue gown with sandals and I had my hair down. Jessa had picked my outfit because according to her, the simpler and smaller I looked, the more the
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 42: “Drunken words are sober thoughts...”
I turn and face Derek who is sprawled on the chair, looking so sure of himself even when he’s delusional on drugs. His eyes are glassy and look unfocused but his words sound so true, even when they come out slurred. “You aren’t in your right mind, do you mean that?” Without flinching and with no hesitation, he replies, “I stand by every word I said.” Even though I knew it, his confirmation surprises me still and shockingly hurts me. I let out a small laugh. “Drunken words are really sober thoughts, huh?” “What do you mean?” “Did you ever feel something for… her?” “Never, you’re the only one I want, the only one I ever wanted.” But she doesn’t feel that way, I think to myself.Derek rises from the chair and staggers to where I stand at the window. “Are you feeling jealous because she was my mate?” When I don’t answer, he takes both my hands in his. “No doubt, you are the only woman I’ve ever loved.” A wave of nausea washes over me so I yank my hands from his and cover my mouth with the
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 41: “So you don’t feel guilty?”
An alpha was blessed with an aura that made him powerful and the symbol of strength to the pack. Alphas always had a strength that set them apart from an ordinary werewolf, and made them an obvious leader. An alpha had the same abilities that werewolves had but they could it ten times, even hundred times better. They were just that unique. I couldn’t imagine what would make an alpha to lose that kind of strength and make him as weak as an omega –maybe even weaker. A weak alpha had dire consequences for a pack. It meant that there wasn’t a strong entity protecting them anymore. It could also mean that a beta could try to overthrow the alpha and become the new alpha himself, and some of these power struggle fights could lead to war and end up bloody. On the bright side, Asher doesn’t seem like the type of beta who coveted power, but still, there was no way a weak alpha meant anything good for the pack. “Alexa!” Liana’s voice brings me out of my thoughts and back into reality. “What?”
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 40: “…you owe me my revenge…”
“What do you mean his aura is gone?” I ask Ida. I’m not sure where the panic is coming from but it feels strange to see such a powerful alpha wolf like this and Ida’s observation certainly doesn’t help. “It’s just like I felt with Liana, there’s something different about Derek as well.” I shake Derek with all of my might but he doesn’t wake up, he doesn’t even stir. “I need help.” I rush out of the hallway and spot some elders in the distance. I’m about to call for help when a thought hits me. Derek wouldn’t want them to see him this way, weak and powerless, it was going to make them disrespect him. Who could Derek trust to help him when he was like this? Asher. The answer is clear and simple. Even though I could sense some tensions between them lately, Asher would always fulfill his duty to help his alpha and longtime friend, putting all issues between them aside. I rush to the balcony, hoping that no one will come into the dim-lighted hallway and see the unconscious alpha yet and p
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 39: “His aura is gone.”
Liana’s hands ball the letter into her fists, she grabs the coffee mug on her desk and hurls it across the room then lets out a scream of pure rage. The door opens and Ally with some guard-wolves rush into the room. “What’s wrong, Luna?” Ally asks. Everything, I say to myself. Liana throwing her mug across the room, has put me in the war zone of her rage. Glass shards pierce my arm and hot coffee splashes on my leg. I left Ally to calm the angry Luna down and went to treat my injuries. At least I knew I hadn’t misunderstood what I had seen, Liana was cheating on Derek. How long had it been going on? From the way they talked, it looked like they had known each other for a while, probably before she got mated to Derek and married him. Many parts of their conversation also didn’t make any sense to me. What had her lover meant by, they will be together soon? Weren’t they already together? The whole thing was confusing to me but I could think about that later. By the time noon had roll
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 38: “…dearest Luna needed more love…”
I’m not sure why I run away from the tunnel but my instincts tell me it was the right thing to do in that moment, so I ran. In the back of my mind, I realize that I just missed the best chance I had to see who Liana’s lover was but I remember the feeling I got back in the tunnel. The mystery man had suddenly turned and looked directly at me, it felt like he could see me peeking at them from the peephole. That was unlikely but, in that moment, I was so sure he had seen me behind the secret wall. Once I make it outside the residence of the alpha/luna, I take the time to catch my breath and collect my thoughts. I had just gotten more ammunition to use against Liana. Not only had she lost her position and powers as the oracle of the moon goddess, she was also cheating on Derek -her supposed mate. Cheating on your mate was one of the most painful things that could ever happen to the other mate, I still remember how I felt when Derek left me for Liana . Sometimes, it left the cheated mate
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 37: “…fool’s paradise…”
The next day, Liana looks like a new person and not the ill-behaved cat she was yesterday. Her face has a rosy glow to it and she has the look of a woman well satisfied (or at least I think she is satisfied. I don’t know how a satisfied woman looks like.) “Luna, you look well rested today.” Ally says with heart signs in her eyes. “Oh, I certainly feel much better today, thank you Ally.” Liana looks at me, like she’s expecting me to comment on the glow around her. “Luna.” I say with a half-hearted nod. Her smile falters a little bit but comes back, even brighter and wider than before. “You seem to be in a foul mood, Alexa. I hope your day gets better.” Oh, I know it will, I say to myself. Liana opens her door and falters when she sees the white envelope on her office floor, like it had been slipped in from the small slit under the door. Her smile dims a little bit, and it disappears completely when she sees that the ‘addressed to’ part of the envelope has ‘Oracle of the moon goddess?
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 36: “…start from the very beginning…”
“Who’s Ida?” Asher asks, effectively stopping me from running away from these confusing feelings. “Ida?” I say, turning to face him slowly with a fake ‘I’m confused’ expression on my face. “You mentioned the name quite a lot while you were asleep.” Asher says carefully, watching me with those sharp eyes of his, I needed be careful. “Oh Ida, she’s an old friend of mine.” I don’t remember ever telling Asher the name of my wolf when I was Genevieve, so I hope I’m right and lie. “Any particular reason why you kept on calling for her in your sleep?” he asks, not bothering to hide his curious stare. My mind flashes to the weird dream I had, those creepy red eyes in the darkness and the feel of those hands holding me down, swarming up all over my body. I shiver when I remember the laugh of the mysterious person, ‘it’ had called me Genevieve. “I have been away from home for a while, I guess I just miss her. She’s my closest friend.” Asher is about to say something more but I don’t think I h
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 35: “What do you want from me? Who are you?”
“Alexa? Are you okay? You look kind of pale. Do you want to sit down?” Hope grabs my hand and I am grateful for the contact. My throat feels like its closing and my breaths come in short pants. I suddenly feel lightheaded. “Alexa!” Hope’s voice sounds like she’s screaming my name from underwater. “Hope, I can’t breathe!” I’m not sure if I get those words out but I know for a fact that I look at her with desperation and panic in my eyes. From the fog around me, I can feel Ida’s panic rising as she growls and growls, trying to reach me, but everything sounds like it is coming from far away and I am alone where I am, not even my wolf is with me. I close my eyes and count to ten in my head but when I open them, I find myself in a dark forest. All I can see are trees all around me. I catch a glimpse of red eyes in the dark but when I look again, they are gone. “Ida? Ida, can you hear me?” I call to my wolf but all I hear is silence. “Ida, please.” I am crying now, the tears flow freely fr
