Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 61: “What did she mean to you?”
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

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

I stare at Asher in shock as he holds my bracelet, openly studying it. “What are you doing?” I ask, hoping the thoughts in my head are wrong. Asher says nothing and continues to study the bracelet in his hands. I grab my shirt and press it to my chest to cover myself and then stand from the bed. I stretch my hand, the hand not holding the shirt to my chest, and say to him, “Give me that back.” When he still doesn’t answer me, I lunge forward, aiming to grab the bracelet out of his hand but he steps back and I miss.“How about I give you a chance to tell me the truth?” Asher finally says, his eyes staring straight into mine. “What is this and why is it important to you?” “It’s just something a friend gave to me. I use it to remember her. Now can you give it back?” Asher takes one step back, then two, then more till his back rests against the door of my room. “I remember these things you know, from back when the war started. The wolves from the Eternal moon pack wore these things, altho

Ida is only able to attack Asher because we caught him unaware and unready, she knows this and is using it fully to her advantage. Ida is able to inflict more wounds to his chest before he is able to push her off and scramble to his feet. I see three deep gashes on his chest and blood pours out like a tap, staining his trousers and leaking onto my floor. The sight of his blood makes Ida giddy and she launches herself at him again. She knocks him down this time but he holds her head when she goes to bite him in the face.Asher holds her head, trying not to get bitten in the face or his neck by her razor sharp teeth. As Ida struggles to break his hold, his eyes go dark and then change into green and grey. One eye glows green and the other glows grey as his wolf makes an appearance. Ida steps back as Asher transforms into his wolf, the raven wolf from the woods. The wolf growls deeply and low then stalks Ida who takes several steps back from him. Then he pounces.I can’t see him coming a

I skip work the next day, asking Hope to make up an excuse about why I wouldn’t be going to work. Hope knows something is up with me but she doesn’t ask, giving me space instead and leaving me till I’m ready to talk about it. I’m really grateful for that. The truth is, I wasn’t going to work because I didn’t want to see Asher, I didn’t know how I was going to react when I saw him and it made me anxious that he was my mate. I still couldn’t believe that had happened to me last night.“Alexa? Wake up!” I groan at Hope’s voice and lift my blanket over my head. “Alexa, don’t make me tickle you.” I gasp and sit up in my bed, shooting a death glare at Hope who is standing beside my bed with a huge smile on her face. “You’re back early.” “No I’m not. It’s almost 7PM.” I frown and look through my curtain to find darkness already painting the sky. “Alexa, did you leave your room at all today?” I shake my head.Hope sighs and sits beside me on the bed. “I don’t know what’s going on with you but

“Hello? Is anybody there? Help me!” I scream but my own words echo back to me. “Please, let me go back home!” I say quietly, looking around my unfamiliar surroundings. I see nothing but trees and darkness, stretching for miles and miles ahead. “Alexa.” I hear someone whisper my name from the darkness. “Who is that? Help me!” “Why?” “What? I don’t understand.” A sudden burst of cold wind has me wrapping my arms around myself to try and stop my shivering.I make my way down the clear path that cuts through the woods, hoping it leads me out of this unsettling place. I can’t help but feel like I’m being watched as I walk down the road, past trees and more trees. It’s all around me and it is all that I can see. “Ida? Ida, please.” I call into the darkness but she doesn’t answer, I can’t feel my wolf with me.My feet stop moving when I spot a figure ahead of me. “Hello?” I call but the figure doesn’t answer, it doesn’t move either. I approach it cautiously then sigh in relief when I see tha

I had spent five days away from the pack, and excluding the day I had the nightmare alongside Sue and Dorothea, I actually had a good time. I felt relaxed. Hope was right, a break was just what I needed. I head to my house and drop off my things there but decide to go to work rather than stay home alone.Stepping into the kitchen, I can sense something strange buzzing in the air, a strange tension spreading with every whisper between omega-maids or passing looks between them. Something had happened, something big.“Oh Alexa, you’re back!” One of the maids, Bea, says when she sees me walk to my post. “How was your break?” “It was okay. Hey, what’s going on? I sensed something strange when I passed by the kitchen earlier.” Bea sighs. “It’s not just in the kitchen, it’s all over the compound.” “What happened?” “Things have been tense between the Alpha and the Luna since the party at the elder’s house. A couple of maids have heard them arguing on different occasions but just a few days ag

For a moment, the hall is silent as all eyes are on Dorothea standing in the doorway of the hall. “Thea!” It is then I notice Ares in the room. He rushes towards his daughter and pulls her into his arms, holding her tight. A soft smile lights up my face at the sight of the father-daughter reunion, it had been so long since they last saw each other. Asher is on his feet, watching the two of them.“Who is this, Ares?” Derek asks. “Forgive me, Alpha. This is my daughter, she’s been missing for almost a year now.” Ares says, his voice shaking with emotion as he wipes his eyes. “Congratulations on finding your missing daughter, General, but you do realize she has interrupted a very important and secret meeting.” Muriel says sounding sour. “Yes, what is your daughter doing here? What exactly does she have to say about the Luna?” Derek asks. All eyes turn to Dorothea. Your move, Dorothea.“Greetings to you Alpha, Luna, Beta, and the elders and important members of the pack. I am Dorothea Mad

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

“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
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 95: “He’s my mate.”
“You wanted to see me, Alexa?” Ares says when he meets me behind the residence of the alpha and luna. “Yes. I need your help with something.” “What is it?” “I have a plan, a way to get Asher out of prison. I am going to reveal the truth about Derek’s death.” “Isn’t that dangerous?” “We have no other choice. And if we can get Asher released, Ramsey would have to step down from being the alpha. The people would prefer an alpha accepted by the moon goddess, they’ll be on his side.” Ares nods in agreement. “But if you reveal everything, wouldn’t that put you in danger?” “I’ll find a way around that.” “Okay, what do you need help with?” “I need you to find a way to get the entire pack gathered at the general hall, I’m going to reveal everything there. Can you do that?” Ares nods again. “I can find a way. When?” “I’ll let you know later. Oh, and Ares? Asher cannot find out what I’m doing.” “Of course.”“Are you sure about this?” Ida asks. “We have no choice, Ida but to reveal the truth.” “W
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 94: “…my own way…”
Ramsey didn’t waste any time with the coronation. He just instructed the elders to call for a pack gathering the next day. For the very first time, Liana and Dorothea heard about the elders appointing Ramsey as the new alpha. “We are gathered here today to announce that the council of elders has appointed a new alpha of the pack. After careful deliberations, the council has decided to appoint Ramsey Carson as your new alpha.” Muriel announced, his voice lacking the usual liveliness it always had when he was making announcements.Liana looked like she was going to be sick and Dorothea shook her head sadly. There was confused chatter from everyone in the hall. “Please understand, we cannot keep the seat of the alpha vacant for too long. It would spell danger for the pack.” Muriel said, trying and failing to clear the confusion at the hasty decision.“The elders mean well by this decision.” The noise dies down at the sound of Ramsey’s voice. “There are threats to this pack brought on by
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 93: "...dark times..."
I was out of ideas on what to do to get Asher out of the prison he was in. Going to Ramsey was a mistake, I shouldn’t have even thought about it, but I was desperate, and desperate people do stupid things. Two long, hard weeks had already passed since Asher was put in prison for the death of Derek, and it was hard knowing he was framed for a crime he didn’t commit, but it was harder knowing that it was my fault he was in this position in the first place.“Alexa.” I shake the thoughts out of my head and turn to face the grim looking Ares, watching as he walks to me. “How is he?” I ask, concern for Asher filling my voice. “He is as fine as he can be for someone in that position.” “You sound…mad.” I say, picking up on the tone of his voice. Ares sighs. “I just don’t understand why he doesn’t just reveal what you to found out! There is evidence of the Luna’s guilt. He doesn’t need to suffer this way.” “Maybe he just wants to protect someone.” I reply quietly. Ares’ face is a mask of frust
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 92: "How do I save him?"
“What the hell is going on, Alexa? What do they mean Alpha Asher murdered the previous alpha, his best friend!” Hope screams with her red rimmed eyes. “Oh, you’ve heard.” “Of course I’ve heard! The whole pack has heard! Alpha Asher was just paraded like a criminal, and for murder, no less!” “Maybe you shouldn’t call him alpha out loud.” Hope and I turn to face Kylan who just walked into the house. “He did nothing wrong!” “I know, but you could get in trouble for that. There’s no sense in getting you both in trouble.” “You’re right.” She concedes.“Wait, you both think he did nothing wrong?” I ask in surprise. “Of course he didn’t. I’m a good judge of character and I know that for sure.” Hope states emphatically while Kylan nods in agreement. “The rest of the pack though, they don’t feel the same way though.” “They didn’t take it well?” I wince. “Let’s just say, it took a lot to protect him from the angry crowd.”I couldn’t believe how…undependable the people of this pack could be.
