Paul took Lexie's delicate hands in his own, pressing his lips against her knuckles with feather-light tenderness. Her fingers felt so small and fragile in his grasp - he was terrified of squeezing too hard, of causing her even the slightest discomfort right now.

Within minutes of the doctor's arrival, another team of medical staff had arrived, bringing all the gadgets and equipment that might be required for her monitoring and treatment.

Right now, the beeping sound of the heart monitor was filling up the room as he studied her peaceful face. She had been changed into a set of plain blue clothes, the rich silk dress and jewellery that she had worn to the ceremony was gone.

His throat tightened as he remembered how breathtaking she had looked just hours earlier, her long hair fanning over her back, that brilliant smile she had flashed him across the ballroom.

Now her skin was pale against the white sheets, a stark bandage wrapped around her forehead where the doctors had stitched h

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   59. She's up!

    Before Paul could say anything else, the hurried sound of footsteps made him turn. A nurse came sprinting toward him, her face pale, her breathing uneven.“Alpha…” she gasped, clutching the side of the wall for support. “The Luna has woken up… she’s gaining awareness and—”Paul didn’t wait to hear the rest. His heart leaped into his throat as he shot to his feet, gripping Andy’s small hand in his own.“Come on, Andy,” he said urgently, pulling him along. “Lexie needs us.”Andy didn’t protest. He stumbled slightly as he ran to keep up, his fingers clutching tightly onto Paul’s. The long corridors blurred past them as Paul’s mind raced. She was awake. She was okay. She was—Paul pushed open the door to their room just in time to see Lexie stirring, her delicate fingers twitching slightly against the blanket. Her lashes fluttered before she finally opened her eyes, slow and hesitant, as if waking from a heavy dream.His breath hitched.She was looking right at him.“Paul…” Her voice was

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   60. Child?

    "Child!? What child... whom you can't save... where is Andy? Is he okay? Where is he?" Lexie’s eyes flew open at the mention of a child being harmed, her body jerking upright despite the pain that shot through her. Her breath came in short, panicked gasps as she scanned the room. “Someone please tell me, is the Prince okay?”Her hands trembled against the sheets, her mind still foggy from the pain medication, but the thought of someone else being hurt… especially a child, sent a jolt of terror through her. Andy shuffled forward before she could spiral further, his small arms wrapping around her waist as he buried his face against her side. "I'm okay, Lexie! I'm so happy you're awake now!" Lexie exhaled shakily, relief washing over her as she hugged him back, her fingers threading through his curls. He was safe. But the way his small body shook against hers, the way fresh tears dampened her hospital gown—something was wrong. "Andy... what happened?" she murmured, but before

    "Hear ye! Hear ye!!" Luke, the twelve year old kid from the neighbourhood screamed dramatically as he came rushing into our house and stopped abruptly when his eyes greeted the sight of dear old me.I had been standing in front of my wardrobe, arranging my clothes when I heard his voice and went out to the hallway, being the only one in the house.I felt the boy's eyes roaming my face before he saw that I was looking at him, and he immediately fixed his eyes on the floor."Is no one else at home- I mean, sister Lexie, where is brother Dylan? Or Katrine?"I smiled at his efforts at covering up his uneasiness and replied, making my voice as soft as possible. "They are not at home right now, but you can tell me. What is it?"Luke seemed to consider this for a moment before he hurriedly blurted out."Alpha- alpha Paul has invited everyone to the party tonight, because he is searching for his mate!"Luke had barely finished his sentence before he dashed off in a hurry, leaving me with his

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   2. Old friend

    After geometry class got over, I packed up my things and left the room for the next lecture. But before I could have left the room, someone called out my name from the back of the classroom. "Lexie, you left your earphones behind!" As I turned around to see what the matter was, my shoulder bumped into someone coming in from the doorway. I could only see a flash of blonde hair before I stumbled backwards from the force of the collision and stabilised myself against a desk. "Watch where you are going! Or has that scar made you lose your vision in the second eye too?!" I didn't even need to pull down my hood to see that the person my bad luck had made me collide with, was none other than Abby. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention…" I mumbled an apology for the sake of the friendship Abby and I used to share, back when we were just kids who played together. I knew her from my days in the Celene pack, where we both had been brought up in the same neighbourhood. She was the

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   3. Unwanted

    Although it had been two years since we had joined this pack and in the meantime, we had also established good relations with most of the native people in our neighborhood. But still, the blot of being 'Rogues'- unwanted outsiders- was still visible on our foreheads, and the last thing I wanted was to get into an argument that would confirm such people's prejudices against our family. Micheal had been trying so hard for all three of our sakes, and I commanded myself to take deep breaths so I would not end up spoiling this for all of us. Thankfully, I felt Jean's pat on my shoulder right on time. She was the one who had called out my name a few minutes ago, and her intervention was a good enough excuse for me to divert my attention. She handed me my earphones and nudged me towards the exit. But before leaving the classroom, I arranged my features into the most deadpan expression I could manage and made my voice cloyingly sweet, giving my reply seconds before putting my earphones in my

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   4. Mate

    "Got it.”I nodded in affirmation before I gulped down my own saliva in an attempt to hide my nervousness. Trying to compose myself, I glanced at the facade of the imposing archway under which the two of us were standing. It was made completely with a black stone, in the centre of which, a large exploding sun had been carved. The rays of that sun extended in all directions, and the two sides were flanked with beautiful depictions of every life form that owed its existence to the presence of the sun, all the way down to where the two pillars ended. If it had not been carved on a black stone, one could easily have been fooled by the intricate details, judging by how realistic it all seemed. Indeed, it was quite fitting that the Apollo pack would appreciate the gifts that the Sun had provided to earth; thinking this, I extended a hand to touch one of the lotus flowers carved on the right pillar, before I returned to my senses and promptly pulled my hand backwards. Sneaking a glance at

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   5. Scars of the Past

    How idiotic can a fourteen year old be!? If that's your question, then my answer would be: not more than me, at least!Because when I was fourteen, I really had my head filled with ideal stories of fairytale romances. I used to believe that I must be the luckiest girl in the world who has had everything since her birth- good friends, perfect family, and most importantly the most loving mate of the entire world!' When I had been in my pack, I really had no dreams apart from spending my whole life with Nate as his loving mate. However, I was not delusional to have fed myself all these things from my imagination; it was because we used to be a couple. I used to believe that we were truly made for each other, till the day I was brutally introduced to reality. On his seventeenth birthday, Nate had rejected me as his mate. And I shouldn't be saying that he had simply rejected me, but he had brutally torn apart every dream of mine and snatched my self confidence. I still remember the disg

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   6. Call

    It took a little longer than usual for me to walk home. I had never been one to dawdle on the way, and neither was today the day for it; but the reason was that I could physically feel my legs getting heavier after what had happened today. I don't know what was going inside my brain at the moment I entered home, but I must have been in the mood to make my bad day worse. Because the first sentence that left my mouth in front of Katrine, after she just asked me where I had been out of her usual curiosity and concern and not with any other hope of getting entertained, was; "You won't believe me, but I will still say it : I am returning from the actual hell present on the surface of earth and the deadliest dungen one can ever visit, also known as the Alpha's house-" "Alpha Paul's house?" The moment I was already regretting speaking gibberish and saying something I was never supposed to have, I noticed Dylan's ears perking up and his eyes getting curious as he asked his question.

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   57. The Miracle

    Lexie’s world went black the moment her body hit the marble floor. Pain shot through her body as she tasted blood in her mouth… she could hear the echo of Abby’s retreating footsteps. And then… everything became numb. Abby stared at Lexie, lying lifeless and still at the bottom of the staircase with a thrill of victory rushing through her veins. At last, this bitch was out of her way! But soon enough, the reality of the situation registered in her mind. This was the most important part of her plan: to escape unnoticed. Without wasting another moment, she turned and ran, disappearing into the shadows of the grand palace halls… but Abby had no idea that she wasn’t alone while executing her master plan.Because Andy had seen everything. The moment he heard the thump of Lexie's body hitting the last stair, his breath caught in his throat. His little heart was hammering against his ribs, and he didn't dare to look at her before he ran. He ran through the crowd, as fast as his tiny

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   56. Misunderstandings!!

    “Abby, are you even in your senses? What are saying, how can I hypnotize Paul! Just think about it, he knew I was his mate back when I was not even aware of his existence. You know very well that I used to love Nate, and imagined that he was my mate. But destiny had other plans and I had to surrender in front of them! And I was lucky to find Paul. But trust me, I never knew that you liked him too, before I accepted him as my mate!”Lexie paused, trying to see if her words were having an effect on Abby. Despite her silence, she continued in a soft tone;“All I want to say is no matter how much you like him… you might even think that if not for me, you two would have been together. But the truth is, that's not going to happen… you are never going to be his mate.We have absolutely no way to intervene with our destinies, but all I want to say is that you have to stay strong. You just have to wait and then watch how destiny is going to bless you, this is what I have done after I was bein

    “Abby?” Andy replied with a slight annoyance on his face. He had never liked this girl of the pack, who used to show up to each and every event hosted by his brother with extra make- up caked on her face and pretended like no one was better than her or no one can be in her place. She carried herself like a queen, like she was the single person to ever be granted the permit to look beautiful… when she had never managed to look beautiful even for once.But this was not the real thing which he didn't like her for, the real factor was her attitude. She had never spoken nicely to anyone apart from his family members and his brother– and while And while Andy might be too young to be aware of the reason behind it, he was still smart enough to know that she used to do this because she thought she could portray a good image in front of the Alpha's family. Because of all these factors that rubbed him the wrong way, there was an unknown hate for Abby in his heart… but his innocent heart was

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   54. Who's your friend?

    After all that Abby had ever done with Lexie, she should never have been concerned about her. Then, getting bothered because of her pain was something that Lexie should never even think about.But she would be the biggest hypocrite alive in this world, if she didn't care about the condition in which Abby was in. Because just a few moments ago, she was arguing in her mind that no one should ever go through the pain of rejection that she had gone through.But now, Abby was standing right in front of her and was going through the same pain she was concerned about… she was well aware of the fact that Abby used to like Paul a lot, and all this jealousy of hers was probably rooted in this reason only. Why else would she have changed so much, when they used to be good friends in their childhood.She was going to make everything okay once again...They were going to be friends once again, as it's all just a matter of time and some misunderstandings that had drawn such extreme lines between t
