Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 55: “Run, Ida.”
“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

Asher’s POVThe previous day…I watched as Alexa ran away from me and out of the maid’s room with tears in her eyes and confusion written on her face. She confused me a lot but what I was sure about was that she wasn’t who she said she was, there was a lot more to her than she let on. I remember the thin white bracelet on her wrist, how she had traced it when I noticed she was uncomfortable. Was that bracelet always on her wrist? It looked like an ordinary white rope with a clasp at the end, nothing special about it but that bracelet looked familiar to me.I shake the thoughts out of my head and head after Alexa but she has already left the building. I walk further before spotting her heading towards the border of the pack. I follow her and expect the guard-wolves on duty to send her back but they don’t and she slips into the woods. “Where is she going to?” I ask Kylan, the guard-wolf. “Beta. She wanted to go for a run.” “In the woods?” “I told him not to let her go.” Kit, the other g

I spend the next few days in a daze, thinking about Asher and the bloody cape. Why did he keep something like that? What did he think about when he saw that box under his bed at night? What were his true feelings for Genevieve? I was tempted to ask him all these questions because thinking about them was driving me crazy. Since I couldn’t handle what was between Asher and me, I decided to focus on the one thing I could handle –Derek and Liana.My note seemed to have stirred some things between the alpha and his luna but I wasn’t satisfied, I wasn’t going to stop until everybody knew them for what they really were. “Did you hear the alpha and the luna arguing last night?” I carefully place the dish I’m washing down and listen to the two omega-maids that just entered the room. “I didn’t but Caroline said she did.” “What exactly is going on between them?” “Caroline says she saw Ally crying in the back of the house last night. Something is definitely up between them.”For the rest of the d
Terakhir Diperbarui : 2025-02-17Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 62: “Can I trust you?”
The kiss starts out as a gentle caress of my lips by his, an obvious seduction by Asher. I know I’m being seduced but I don’t have the willpower to push away, I want to be seduced by him. His hands travel from my neck to the small of my back, holding me close to him. Without breaking the kiss, I cradle his face between my hands and deepen the kiss, slipping my tongue into his mouth and duelling with his. Asher groans and tightens his hold on me, squeezing me closer to himself. When it feels like we both can’t breathe, we break the kiss, gulping mouthfuls of air.“Don’t stop.” I whisper. He puts his hands under my thighs and stands, taking me with him from the chair while I wrap my arms around his neck. “Where’s your room?” My room? “There.” Asher carries me to my room and lays me gently on my bed then climbs in after me. I expect him to continue what we started in the living room but he just looks at me, brushing my hair out of my face. “What?” I whisper. “What’s on your mind?” He as

Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 104: “…second chances.”
The rest of the meeting is tense and uncomfortable. Ramsey is the only one who seems unbothered even though he just announced his marriage to his brother’s former mate who was also considered a criminal. For the rest of the meeting, Muriel doesn’t say anything and just stares at the table in front of him.When the meeting is finally over, I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding, a sigh of relief. As the elders begin to exit the hall, Muriel hangs back till Ramsey and I are the only ones left in the halls. I watch uncomfortably as he walks towards us but stops when that unfamiliar man enters the hall and starts talking to Ramsey. Muriel changes course and heads for me instead. “When are you going to stop being a problem for the pack? Why can’t you just know your place?” He whispers to me harshly. “You think I wanted this? This isn’t on me, it’s on you for making a mad man the alpha in the first place.” I say back to him. He stares at me for a moment then says, “Ever since you be
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 103: “…my past hell.”
“So? How did it go?” Ramsey asks me, barely hiding his excitement, or maybe he wasn’t hiding it on purpose. “How do you think it went?” I say, my voice sounding tired and low. “Did you reject him? Did he scream from the pain? I heard rejections are very painful. Describe his face to me.” There’s a huge smile on Ramsey’s face and now I’m sure he isn’t bothering to hide his excitement from me, he simply didn’t care.My mind fills with the image of Asher’s face twisted in pain as he stared right at me as I betrayed him. The look in his emerald green eyes asked me over and over again, ‘how could you do this to me?’ but I didn’t have an answer for him. Asher might hate me now, but at least he was alive and that was what mattered most to me. I left him standing there with no explanations, and just walked out the door, determined to never see him again. He must have felt shattered when I turned my back to him without saying another word. I thanked the goddess for not creating us with eyes at
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 102: “…forget me…”
“What?” Asher gawks at me with his lips parted in surprise. I pull him closer to me and he finally breaks out of his surprise when our lips meet in a tangle of messy, deep kisses. And when he bites my lower lip, I lose all the thoughts running in my head. Ramsey, Liana, worry for Asher, everything disappears because he kisses so well. When we both fall forward and land on the bed, I break away from the kiss when my lungs begin to beg for oxygen, my lips parted to gulp in air greedily.“Do you want to slow down a bit?” He asks, almost as out of breath as I am. Instead of answering, I wrap my arms and legs around him and kiss him once more. Somehow, this kiss is even deeper and wilder than the last one so when he breaks away, we are both still out of breath and breathing harder than before. He straddles my hips and unbuttons my trousers while I watch him.Then he is back again, dragging his lips down to my neck, and even lower. The hot trail leaves me out of breath but wanting for more.
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 101: “…live…”
“Fine.” My voice is breaks on that one word. “What did you say?” “I said fine. You win, I’ll do what you want.” I say, barely above a whisper. Ramsey steps back from me, studying my face, as if he’s making sure he just heard me right. I don’t think he believes I’m finally giving in, after all the resistance I put up with him. “Seriously?” Ramsey walks back to his seat, laughing the whole way. “If I had known this was all it was going to take to convince you, I would have done this a long time ago.”I wipe the tears on my face. “But you have to let me see him.” “Of course! Let’s go to him now. I would love to see the look on his face when you reject him and come to me.” “No. I want to see him alone.” Ramsey lifts one brow up at me. “You know that isn’t going to happen.” “I’ve already done what you want. You’ve won, so why can’t you just do this small thing for me?” “I can’t do it because I don’t trust you. I know you, Alexa.” “What else can happen?” I ask, opening my arms wide. “If I b
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 100: “…dance with the devil…”
“What is it? Tell me.” I grab on to Ares’ shoulders, digging my nails into them without even realizing it while panic tries to claw its way from my stomach to my throat. “You don’t look too good, Alexa. Maybe you should sit down for a bit.” Ares says, concern filling his features as he frowns at me. I know what he sees, my face has gone deathly pale and my breathing has become heavy. “Just tell me.” I whisper. “Alexa, please.” “Tell me!” I scream at him.Ares shuts his eyes tightly for a moment and when he opens them again, I can see the pain in his eyes. “Your plan didn’t work Alexa. Ramsey didn’t let Asher off the hook. H-he wants to k-kill Asher in three days. No one is going to stop him, Alexa.” My hands slip from Ares’ shoulders and I sway, suddenly feeling lightheaded. Ares wraps his arm around my waist to keep me from face planting on the rough ground.“Hey! We said only a minute! How long does it take to drop the food and come out?” An angry looking guard wolf snaps at Ares. “
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 99: “…friends in unlikely places…”
“You’re pregnant?” I say, my eyes wide with shock. Liana lets go of me and steps back suddenly looking unsure. She scratches her left arm with her right hand, like a druggie looking for a quick fix. My gaze drops to her stomach but there’s no sign of any pregnancy, at least not yet. If she isn’t lying, the pregnancy must be in the early stages. “How far along are you?” Liana shakes her head and turns away from me. “Liana, how-“”Forget it, okay? Forget I said anything.” I watch her as she heads for a corner in the cell and settles down with her back to me.The doubts that I had when I saw Liana after the days Derek died starts creeping in again. Did she really kill Derek? Did I just accuse an innocent person? Were we just playing a game that Ramsey had made? “Liana, did you tell Ramsey that you are pregnant? Maybe he’ll change his mind about the death sentence.” Liana scoffs at my statement. “He’s your mate, Liana.” And probably the father of your child. I leave that part unsaid but sh
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 98: "...my enemy."
“For the crime of murder you, Liana Dawson is stripped of your position as Luna of the Blood Moon pack. All Privileges that comes with the title will also be taken from you. As for the punishment for your crime, you will be sentenced to death on a date that will be chosen by the council of elders. For now, you will be locked in the cells of the pack.” Muriel who has found his voice again, reads Liana’s verdict to her. For some reason, I feel sorry for her, that she’s ending up this way. Maybe it’s the look on her face that makes me feel pity towards her. But I didn’t have time to feel sorry for her, my turn was next and from the smug look on Muriel’s face, my punishment wasn’t going to be better.“For aiding Liana Dawson in the crime of murdering the alpha, you, Genevieve Franklin will be sentenced to prison for the rest of your life.” “I didn’t ‘aid’ her in killing anyone, I had nothing to do with this.” I say but I know it’s no use, they will only hear what they want to hear. Asher
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 97: “…lost causes.”
“You? You’re Genevieve Franklin?” Muriel asks, disbelief in his voice. “Yes.” “You said you have no wolf!” Another elder says and I shrug in response. “How do we know you are telling the truth and this isn’t another stunt you are trying to pull?” “You know I am not lying. You can feel it.” I say, pinning Muriel with a hard stare. Without taking my eyes off of him, I unclasp my bracelet from around my wrist and stuff it into my pocket. My eyes change into the colour of Ida’s own and slowly, the folded brows of Muriel straighten and climb high on his face. I know what is going on, what he sees, and what all of them hear. Every wolf in this hall recognizes Ida and I and they reveal that fact to their hosts.Muriel stumbles backward, almost falling to the ground and the rest of the elders stare silently in shock. The pack is suddenly restless at my revelation. “Why did you come back here?” Ramsey asks. “I came for Derek, I came for Liana, I came for Muriel and all of his elders, I came fo
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 96: "I am Genevieve."
“Wh…what are you saying Alexa? That’s ridiculous! I never touched that vial, I’ve never even seen it before!” Liana’s voice is shaky. “I didn’t kill him, believe me!” She screams hysterically, eyes wide as she looks around the hall, pleading for people to believe her. “This is a serious accusation, and it is against the Luna, as well. You better have proof to back your claims.” Muriel hisses at me. “I found this vial myself in the room of the Luna, and after the doctor told me that is was a deadly poison, I sent this vial to be tested for any traces –human or wolf. As you are aware, there are places that conduct tests like this to find traces of human and wolf. This is the result of their testing.” I hand the test result to Muriel who eyes it suspiciously. When he sees the name of the testing centre, his brows shoot up in surprise.“Alexa, look at me.” Asher says, but I don’t turn to him, I pretend I don’t hear him calling me and keep my back turned to him. He knows I’m about to do so
