Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 81: “…more than a friend, a brother…”
Asher’s POVThe day of Derek’s death…Ever since Dorothea had said Derek wasn’t going to make it, I had not slept at all, my nights had been restless and my mood sour. Being with Alexa/Genevieve calmed me down enough to rest but I couldn’t be with her all the time. She needed time to process this on her own too so I had to find a solution to my restlessness. I was Alexa’s current mate but Derek was the first mate she ever had, they almost got married. So even though he had betrayed her, I knew the news was affecting her badly too.As I walked back to my room, I passed by the alpha’s side of the residence and my feet stopped moving. I’m not sure how long I stay staring at the path that led to Derek’s suite but I end up walking down the hallway, my feet moving with a purpose, like they have a mind of their own. It isn’t long before I end up at the door to Derek’s suite, my hand frozen on the doorknob. To turn or not to turn.“Beta, good evening.” I turn to find Derek’s doctor. “Is somet

Liana’s POV“I can’t believe he’s gone. I mean, I didn’t know him personally, but I still can’t believe he’s not in this world anymore.” Sue says, looking surprised. I left the pack, and went to the only other place I knew, Sue’s home. Telling them everything, from sneaking into Derek’s room, to him recognizing me, to the talk we had and to how he died, holding my hand, was harder than I thought. I look down at my hand and remember how his hand felt in mine.I thought I had put this behind me after the long cry I had in Asher’s arms, outside the room where Derek’s body lay, but it turns out that I was still in grief. And that was days ago. “Are you okay?” Sue’s quiet voice pulls me out of my thoughts. “I want to be fine, but it’s hitting me harder than I thought it would. I don’t get it, he was my mate, he rejected me, and I moved on, I even have a new mate, so why do I feel this way?” I say, on the verge of sounding hysterical, scratch that, I was hysterical!“Calm down, Alexa. Take

“What do you need a vial of Derek’s blood for?” Asher asks, looking at me with his brows bent with confusion. “I want to make something.” I say with a huge smile on my face. “What does that even mean? Alexa, I’m sure this has hit you hard, maybe you need a break.” “I’m not crazy with grief, Asher. I’ll tell you my plan but not here.” I gesture to the guard wolf who is still looking in our direction with open curiosity. Asher glances at him and nods, understanding my point. “Come with me.”I follow him to the back of the residence of the alpha/luna, to the place where there are rooms for guard wolfs in the compound. One of the rooms is empty so Asher lets me enter before bolting it from the inside. “Okay, tell me everything, right from the beginning.” Asher says, settling into a chair in the room. “We’ve been so out of it because of…what happened, that we forgot how it happened in the first place.” “Liana.” Asher says, understanding the point I’m making. “Exactly!”“So where does Derek

One week after the death of their alpha, the entire Blood Moon pack gathers in the hall for the funeral of the one who led them for years. This was the first time in the history of the pack that its alpha had not died of war or natural causes, but had died of an ‘illness’ or a ‘broken heart’ according to the female population (and some males too) of the pack.The mood in the hall was that of solemn grief, with a heavy silence that made the sound of pins dropping to be like metal rods hitting the ground. The only sound heard was that of Elder Muriel as he officiated the funeral. Within a space of a month, father and child were to be buried. This time, Liana was in attendance, dressed in a modest black gown, and a sort of fascinator hat that had netting which covered her face. She played the part of grieving widow so well that I almost believe she was feeling bad.Throughout the whole ceremony, Asher stood beside the empty chair that belonged to the alpha, staring at the place where his

I run after Asher and get to him just as he’s crossing the gate of Sue’s house. “Wait!” Asher stops walking away and turns, watching me walk up to him. “Just wait a minute, think this through, please.” I say with pleading eyes. Asher sighs and runs a hand through his hair “I promised him, Alexa. He handed everything over to me, I can’t just leave it all behind.” “They could kill you.” Asher cups my cheek and smiles. “I’ll be fine. We’ve already got Liana right? Who else would hurt me?”“You know, I always wondered why Dorothea called you Luna, now I know why.” He says with a small smile. “What do you mean? What do you know?” Asher shakes his head, then he walks away. “Go after him.” Sue says when I return to the house. “I can’t change his mind.” I say quietly. “He promised his friend on his dying bed, it’s going to take a whole lot to change his mind.” Valor says from where his sitting.Maybe he was right. I should give Asher some space and then try to convince him to change his mind.

“We are gathered here today, ladies and gentlemen of the Blood Moon pack to crown a new alpha. With the backing of all the members of the elders of the Blood Moon pack, I present to you, your new alpha, Asher King!” The crowd goes wild as Muriel introduces Asher and the doors to the hall swing open to reveal him, dressed in a velvet black long suit, adorned with gold chains hanging from his collar to his chest pocket. His hair that always seems too long and too unruly is parted in the middle, swept to either side of his face and is tucked behind each ear, held together and styled with hair gel that makes it look wavy.Asher was always handsome, but I had to admit, he was even more so today. The way the long suit clung to his body and his muscles made my mouth water. Even though I didn’t want him near that alpha’s seat, I had to admit that he looked the part of alpha so well. Every part of me (or maybe it’s just Ida’s overwhelming pride) wants to scream ‘that’s my mate!’ to all the fem

As Asher walks towards me, I feel myself moving back from the blaze of heat in his eyes, until my back hits the wall and I have nowhere else to run to. Asher reaches me and places his palm flat on the wall beside my head and he fixes his other hand on the wall beside my hips. No part of Asher’s body is touching mine but I am breathless, as if he’s touched me already.“Hey.” He says with his vibrating deep voice. “Hi.” I say back, sounding breathless. His lips pull up into a smile and he lowers his head towards my lips. My eyes flutter close and Ida growls. Suddenly, I remember where we are and my eyes pop back open. I push Asher away and step out of his space, where I can be able to think clearly.“We can’t do this here!” I say quietly but he leans against the wall, arms folded, like he has no worries in the world. “So we are still going to hide this.” It’s not a question, but I answer anyway. “Yes! I don’t want to be your Luna, Asher.” “Well, we are mates and I’m the alpha, so that a
Last Updated : 2025-03-06Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 88: “…it won’t protect you…”
“Don’t do anything stupid.” I had said to Asher, and he had agreed, at least with his lips but not his heart. Why else would he go on to do something stupid the very next day? After talking last night, we had fallen asleep, wrapped in each other’s arms and limbs. It was probably the most comfortable sleep I had ever had. When I woke up that morning and didn’t see Asher in bed beside me, I assumed his ‘vacation’ was over and he was about to start his first day as the alpha. After our talk last night, I was feeling a bit more open to the idea of him being the alpha, especially because he had agreed not to do anything stupid.The day had started off well, I had decided to resume work and was happily washing dishes and pans, humming a tune to myself. When afternoon rolled by and all the elders of the pack began to enter into the residence of the alpha/luna, I thought nothing of it and just assumed they were here to start their work with the new alpha.Evening came and the sky was slowly b

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
