Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 52: “Happiness.”
“Is that why she hates you? Because you know her secret?” Asher asks but I don’t say anything. “What else do you know about the Luna?” An image of Dorothea in an old, dusty cell flashes in my mind. “I have to go Beta, I still have work to do.” I stand, about to walk away when Asher grabs my arm. “You know what I’ve noticed about you? You only remember my title when you want to put distance between us. You decide when to be close to me and when to push me away.” I pull my arm away from his grip. “So?” “So Alexa, what are you hiding from me?”I refuse to be pulled in by those green eyes of his so I take a couple of steps back from him and say, “What do you think I’m hiding?” Asher is quiet for a couple of seconds and then he stands as well. “Fine, if that’s the way you want to go about it.” And then he walks away, leaving me to wonder just what he meant. I decide to not let it bother me and go back to work.What I needed to do right now was to find out about the plan Liana and her lover

Sneaking into the residence of the alpha/luna has become easy for me, especially with the hidden tunnels and rooms. All I have to do is to keep to the shadows, watch and wait. The guard-wolves patrolling the residence don’t really take their jobs seriously (especially with the security heavier on the pack borders) so it’s easy to sneak into the back of the residence and to the back of the kitchen. I slip into one of the hidden tunnels and make my way to Liana’s office room to deliver her gift.There’s no one in the room, so I sneak in, leave the letter on her desk and leave through the hidden door in her room. I’m on my way out of the residence when I hear voices. It’s almost one in the morning, who could it be? I follow the voices and trace it to the hall of the elders. I peek through the door and see that there’s a meeting going on. Everyone is there except for Liana. Even Ramsey is there as well.“How can we have no leads to what has been happening?” Derek says, sounding frustrated

Those emerald green eyes of his have turned to dark green fire that burns me where his eyes meet my skin. “Slow down?” He says in a rough voice. “You wanted this, didn’t you?” “I did and I still do but I couldn’t breathe.” I whisper. Asher nods and I can see that he’s trying to break away from that pull, the connection that is still so strong between us even now that our lips aren’t joined together.I tug at my hands on where they are still pinned by his one hand grip and he lets go but still keeps me pinned between the wall and his body. “What are you thinking about?” I ask as my hands come to rest on his shoulders. “This is wrong, at least it should be but it doesn’t feel that way. It’s confusing, you confuse me.” I feel Ida’s displeasure at the fact that we are no longer kissing. Hold on girl. “Then just for today.” “What?” “Be with me just for today without thinking about anything else. All that matters is that I want you and you want me…just for today, for this moment.” I say wh

“Breathe.” I chant over and over in my head as I stagger out of the residence of the alpha/luna and into the cool night air. I gulp it down greedily until the air is enough for me to be okay again. “Are you okay?” “I’m fine, Ida.” I slip out of the residence and walk in the shadows, still enjoying the cool breeze of the night. “Do you want to go for a run, Ida?” “Always.” I pull my hoodie around my face and head for the border of the pack.“What do you want?” A guard-wolf asks me. “I’m just going out for a run.” I say with a small smile on my face. “It’s too early for a run. Run within the pack.” He says, dismissing me. “You just said it, it is too early. I can’t run without making some kind of noise and disturbing those sleeping, can I?” I say, starting to feel annoyed. The guard-wolf stands till he towers over me. “Then don’t run. Stop annoying me and get back inside.” He grits out. “No.” I say, facing him head on. He growls and his eyes turn to a dark shade of brown, the colour of

I can sense the wolf somewhere behind me, somewhere close and even though I am running as fast as I can, there’s no way I can make it the pack border before the wolf catches up to me. But I’ll be damned if I give up now, I’ve come too far just for me to end up attacked by a wolf. I hear the thumping of the wolf’s paws and make the mistake of looking back. My eyes clash with those weird but beautiful green-grey eyes and I am struck with the feeling of familiarity. I can’t explain it but, in that moment, I get the feeling that this big, powerful, beautiful wolf won’t harm me but I am too spooked out right now to test out that theory.Somehow, the wolf still hasn’t caught up to me, even though it is just at my heels. Was it luck or was the wolf actually letting me run away? When the pack border appears in my sight, I scream as loud as I can, hoping Kylan kept his word and is waiting for me at the border. “Help! Kylan, help!” I am so close to the border now and I can see Kylan, already al

I am still staring at Asher when a maid walks up to me. “There’s going to be a party at Elder Muriel’s house. The alpha, Luna and Beta will be there so he has requested that some kitchen staff be present to cater to the party.” “Okay.” “Someone signed you up so we’ll be working overtime to prepare for the party.” Of course they did sign me up. I sigh. “Is it really a good idea that I go? The elders and the authority don’t like me.” “It’s kind of a ‘all hands on deck’ situation so I guess they have no choice.”As I’m walking away, I hear the maid say, “Just don’t look for trouble.” “I don’t look for trouble, it looks for me.” I say back. That night, I end up feeling grateful to whoever signed me up to work at this party. It’s so busy that I don’t have time to think about anything except food and drink orders and seating arrangements. I also don’t run into Derek, or Liana, or Asher. I’m not even sure what the party is for but the who’s who of the pack are all present. It’s almost midnig

Asher cradles my head in his hands and kisses me again while my hands clutch his shirt around his waist as I finally snap out of it and kiss him back. But I can’t get that feeling out of my head so I break the kiss. “Wait.” I whisper. Asher’s hands drops from my face and he takes a step back. What are we? What am I to you? The words are at the tip of my tongue, just waiting to be pushed out but for some reason, I can’t give that final push to release those words.“Alexa.” Asher says but I shut my eyes tight and shake my head. “If you want to leave you can-“I cut him off by kissing him again, effectively pushing those words back down my throat with every second that this kiss goes on. “Why do you care if the alpha touched me?” I ask, breaking the kiss again. Asher stares at me, studying my face. “You almost got into trouble the last time.” “So?” Asher sighs and runs his hand through his hair. “Did he really touch you? What were you two talking about?” I look away and don’t answer him.

I run away from Elder Muriel’s house with uncertainty in my heart and confusing tears in my eyes. I didn’t want to feel this way for Asher or for anybody but the truth was that I was falling for him and it confused me because I didn’t know what to do with my feelings. As I walk, I wrap my arms around myself and go without really having a destination in mind. When I look up, I find myself at the gate to the entrance of the residence of the alpha/luna.“What are you doing here?” A guard-wolf asks me. “I work in the kitchen, I forgot something really important inside.” He grunts and opens the door for me. “Don’t be long.” I smile my thanks and enter, heading towards the kitchen. When I see that no one is around, I slip into the secret tunnel that leads to a room in the Luna’s side of the house. One of the doors lead me to Liana’s bedroom. It is decorated in bright colours, even painted with a bright pink colour that gives me a headache.I didn’t know what to do with my feelings for Asher

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

“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
