Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 90: "We’ve been trapped..."
“What?” Asher says, as his brows dip in confusion. “What do you mean?” “It is just as I said, Asher.” Muriel replies, a smug smile on his face. Ares steps forward “That is your alpha, show him some respect!” “Is he really an alpha?” Ares rushes at Muriel but is stopped by Asher. “That’s enough, Ares. Let him be.” With one last angry look at Muriel (who doesn’t look bothered), Ares goes back to standing behind Asher.“Where was I? Right, this is an impromptu trial of you, Asher for the poisoning and death of our beloved alpha, Derek. Since the matter was a serious one, the council of elders agreed that you be brought in for a trial immediately.” “What council? I fired you all weeks ago.” “Since you are a suspected criminal, the decrees you made while you were alpha will not stand and so the council of elders are back in their positions.” Asher stands. “You keep on calling me a criminal and a murderer. Now you refer to me as alpha in a past tense.” Muriel shoots Asher a huge smile. “We

“Wolf Python?” Muriel asks in shock. “Yes, this was the poison used to kill my brother, this was the murder weapon used by Asher to kill him.” Ramsey digs out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, unfolds it and holds it up. “This is a blood test report conducted with my brother’s blood. High amounts of wolf python was found in his blood.”The report gets passed around as I can do nothing but watch and bite my nails nervously. No, that’s not right, you can do something, you can walk out there and tell them the truth and take the heat for him. Could I do that? Was I ready to give it all up for him?“What have you to say for yourself, Asher?” Muriel asks. “Anyone could have entered my room and put that vial there, what really makes it so certain I killed the alpha?” Asher replies calmly. That makes them pause, I’m starting to think that we might have a chance at this when Ramsey speaks again. “If the blood test and vial doesn’t make it certain, then how do you explain the strange ord

“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.

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

I stared at the reflection in the mirror and marveled at how different I looked from how I normally was. Today was the day I got married to my mate and became the Luna of the Blood Moon pack, one of the biggest and most feared packs in the region. It came as a surprise to everyone when two weeks ago, my wolf Ida and the wolf of our Alpha, Rex connected and bonded. Our wolfs confirmed that we were mates. I, a lowly maid working in the house of a rich member of the pack was the mate of one of the most feared alphas in the world. “And soon to be his wife!” my wolf Ida crooned. I smiled at my reflection. The whole change was a lot to get used to and I knew I had to become the Luna my pack deserved but I was determined to do my very best and to give my all for the pack and for Derek. A knock sounded at the door and someone called out, “Are you ready Luna Genevieve? It’s almost time.” “Coming!” I responded. I looked at the simple flowing, shimmering silver dress I wore and ran my hands ov

“Genevieve? Look at me.” I turn wordlessly to Derek. “Your parents were criminals, you know you aren’t allowed to bury them. Their bodies will be discarded in a manner fit for condemned criminals of our pack.” I say nothing as tears fall uncontrollably from my eyes. I can’t see anything besides my parents’ faces twisted in pain and agony, I hear nothing but their piercing screams. I am unable to look away as a guards wrap the bodies up and carry them down the aisle and out of the hall. Every member of the Blood Moon pack present does not miss the opportunity to see the bodies of the criminals. “Members of the Blood Moon pack, what you have just witnessed was the uprooting of evil from the root of our pack and the service of justice to the betrayed. However, you have come here for a wedding and for the crowning of your new Luna. This shall still take place.” The murmurs in the hall grows louder and my head snaps up to look at Derek incredulously. He killed my parents before my eyes an

I stay in the prison for the next three days wondering where it all went wrong. I questioned everything I knew about my parents and wondered if everyone was right and I was wrong but it didn’t make any sense to me. Yes, the Campbells did owe us some month’s wages, but it wasn’t the first time they had delayed in paying us our wages. The last time I saw my parents, they were looking forward to my wedding to Derek, it didn’t make any sense for them to sabotage such a big day in my life by killing the Campbells. I look down on the dried blood on my hands and the image of my parents’ screaming in agony and their lifeless eyes moments later flashes in my mind. The tears start to flow again and sob uncontrollably. That’s how Liana finds me minutes later. “Awn, still crying? Come on Genny, it’s been three days already. You should be praying that the council doesn’t kill you next.” I stare at Liana in disbelief. She expects me to brush off my parents’ death? “I can’t believe that all you h

“Stop!” I look back to see three guards hot on my trail before turning around. It’s been almost an hour since I parted with the masked man at the cave. Thanks to his distraction, I was able to move undetected for a while before I was spotted by the three guards who were now behind me. There was no way I could out run them and if I was caught, I was going to be killed immediately. They had already made that clear by the arrows dipped in poison that they had shot at me. It seems the council decided I was to be killed immediately. The rain had started to fall heavily now and the forest had become very muddy. It made the guards’ job of catching me hard but made my escape harder. My wedding dress was ripped and stained with mud and I had lost my shoes somewhere during my escape from prison. My arms and feet were covered in wounds and gashes but still I ran. I was in so much pain but I had to get away even when I felt my strength failing me. An arrow stabs me in my shoulder and I fall to m

Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 89: “The shortest reign…”
“That night, I have another dream –well nightmare, of the entity with red eyes and like every dream of it I’ve had, it is always going after me. This dream was slightly different from the rest though. In the other two dreams, I was always in the woods that looked similar to the one outside the pack settlement, but this time, it was inside the pack. I knew this because this dream happened outside the residence of the alpha/luna. For some reason, it bothered me so much that the location had changed.When I startle awake from the dream, I spent the next hours staring out the window, feeling uneasy for some reason that I did not know. That is how the morning finds me, sitting in a chair, staring at a dot in the window. What weighs heavily on my mind isn’t just the nightmare I just had, but also my encounter with Ramsey last night.There was a mischievous twinkle in his eye that didn’t sit well with me. As he spoke about Asher, I got the feeling he was taunting me, like he knew something t
Return 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 87: “…you and nobody else.”
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
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 86: “…a new era.”
“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
Return of the Rejected Luna Chapter 85: "Don't do this..."
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.
