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

“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

“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

“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

“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’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

“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. “

“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 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

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
