The Rejected Luna Chapter Sixty-Seven
Rae gathered a few things while watching the pack house. Firstly, the wolves who inhabited the area weren’t at all friendly. Their punishments were rigorous and they treated their employees as beneath them. There were always working people within packs but where she was from, they were treated with respect. What she saw was unacceptable. The employees all ate outside, for starters. And they slept outside. They rarely shifted so Rae was safe. They wouldn’t be able to pick up her scent, not from so far away. There weren’t a lot of pups in the pack either. There were only a handful of them which she assumed were the employees’ kin. She never saw the Alpha or Luna or anyone who could he related to them. The only ones she saw were the enforcers, and they were the ones who punished the staff for simply mistakes, something as simple as burning dinner. She was hesitant. She didn’t want to join them but at the same time, she knew that she was running out of options. She had only eaten two

Rae was escorted inside.The maid was kind enough to give her a cloth so she could wrap it around her aching body but she needed help getting in. She tried not to meet anyone’s gaze as she walked barefoot through the kitchen that was nothing like the one she had seen in StonePaw. The floor had no tiles, only cement. Nothing was organized either. The plates were just one the counters and some piles lined the floor because it didn’t have cupboards. It was strange to her but she understood that some packs didn’t have access to the human world and this pack seemed to be one of them. Everyone she walked past was eyeing her oddly, so oddly that she felt she had made a mistake. But she felt weak and couldn’t move on without help so she pushed her worries aside and allowed the two males to carry her inside. Presumably toward the Alpha’s office. Only, it wasn’t an office. Not like the ones she had seen in the other packs. There were no shelves with books, and the desk wasn’t necessarily the

When Rae awoke, the room was dark. She sat up in a panic and looked around. There was someone standing by the door—a female—and she was holding a candle. Her hair was done and she was wearing what appeared to be a long night dress. Rae could see the outline of her body through it. It was that thin. She had a pretty face but her expression was hardened. She also had a scar on her lip but it didn't diminish her beauty. Her skin was fair and her hair was as black as midnight. Her eyes also appeared to be dark. She put a hand up and said, "Worry not. The Alpha allowed you to rest. You aren't in any trouble."Rae visibly relaxed but her heart was still beating fast. The female placed the candle upon the metal bowl and then turned to her. "You shouldn't have slept in your work clothes. It'll be wrinkled tomorrow. The Alpha expects tidiness around here. A wrinkle in your clothes is enough to get you whipped around here."Rae panicked and immediately started taking her clothes off. She grab

Rae was hit hard in the arm. She opened her eyes and looked sideways. She saw Tara standing over her with wide eyes. “Are you crazy!?” she hissed. “Didn’t you hear what I told you? You need to get ready for work! The Luna will be here at any minute. Stand up!”Rae shuffled to her feet with her aching arm. Tara didn’t apologize for hurting her. Her vision was blurry but she feared she didn’t even have time to rub the sleep from her eyes. “Use the water in the metal bowl to wash your face,” she said quickly. “Tomorrow will be your turn to fetch it. Do it before you put your uniform on or you’ll get it wet!”Rae dipped her hands in the cool water and freshened up as best as she could. There was a sliver of unscented soap beside it and she used that too. She dried her face with the sleeping cloth on her body and then started getting dressed. Not having underwear was perhaps the most uncomfortable part about dressing up but she would have to get used to it since none were provided. Tara

Rae was tired to the bone and lunch hadn't even been served yet. The good thing was that the potatoes were coming out of the water clean. Clean water played a big role in that. There were no complaints from the female who was cutting the potatoes so that was a relief. They talked about chores mostly and what they still had to do before the day ended. Rae was washing potatoes for lunch and dinner. And at some point, the water became filthy again so she had to change it. The sun outside was hotter than ever. She felt drained and like she didn't want to continue. There were times when she cried silent tears as she rubbed the potatoes between her hands because the unfairness of it all was hard to swallow. She didn't have to work as a slave for WoodFur. She didn't owe them a damned thing and what they were doing was cruel. How was she expected to give her best when she hadn't been fed? It was ridiculous. They were ridiculous. And who the hell was the Beta of the pack?She didn't give to

It took a while before the door opened. When it finally did, Rae was shocked. She was staring at a tall male who appeared to be a few years older than her. He had a scar on his cheek that was gruesome and made him look cruel somehow. But that wasn't what shocked her. The male standing before her looked exactly like Fred. If she hadn't heard him being ripped apart by Keegan that day in the woods, she would have thought that he was standing in front of her, that his ugly scars were from the fight with Keegan. The scar on the back of her neck tingled and she had to ignore the need to scratch it. He gave her a sour look and asked, "You're the thieving female, are you?"She gritted her teeth even though she was horrified. "I'm not a thief."He kept looking at her in the same negative way. Rae gulped. She was watching him for any sign that he might know who she was. If he did, it would mean that he was Fred, and she didn’t want him to be Fred. Not in a pack of strangers and away from Ke

Rae kept looking over her shoulder to ensure that Alfred wasn't standing behind her. She was terrified of seeing him. She didn't want to take him anywhere because, well, there was simply no place to take him. Fred had died back at the camp. She didn't know where the camp was. She had no clue whatsoever. If she did, she would have gone there to wait for Keegan. Speaking of which, she wondered if he already knew about what happened at StonePaw and her escape. She was thinking about him a lot lately. It always pained her to think of him She had been given her schedule and was pleased to find out that her work was mostly limited to the kitchen. She went from washing endless vegetables to washing and dicing them. That part took some getting used to but the quantities were so large that she didn't need extra days to learn. The two that passed were enough. Two days. Two whole days. She thought she wouldn't survive one but proved herself and the others wrong. The conversation in the kitch

Rae woke up more tired than ever. She hasn't slept well. Whenever she closed her eyes, she saw that poor female being punished for making an honest mistake. The cruelty had no limits, it seemed. Tara hadn't lied about that. She had just been lucky enough not to see anything hideous during her first few days. It was her turn to fill the tub with clean water. She stood up while Tara slept and grabbed the half-empty tub. She carried it all the way down the corridor, through the living room, and into the kitchen. She disposed of it outside and filled it with water from the well. There was never anyone around whenever she was filling her tub, so maybe that meant that they did so at night? It would sure facilitate things. She made a mental note to ask Tara about it. The day was somewhat warm, so she knew that it would be an internal one in the kitchen, which was a poorly ventilated area. And with the tension, things would get ten times heavier. And hotter. It wasn't something she was loo

The Rejected Luna Epilogue
Rae awoke in a light room. She felt the area around her with the tips of her fingers. She could move her hand. Linen. A soft mattress. A sheet covered her body. She was in a bed. She instantly relaxed, and fell asleep for a few minutes again before trying again. There was the scent of bleach in the air. She knew that scent well, it was a detergent that her mother loved to use. Thinking about her now meant nothing to her. She didn’t feel pain. Her absence from her life did nothing for her. The wolf who made her heart ache was her father and him alone. He had been kind to her, and she wished that they had parted ways on better terms. Rae would never see anyone from her family again. It was strange to think about, but it was the truth. Trying to figure out where she was wasn’t easy. There were two options. Rather, there was only one probable one, but she would include the unrealistic one in her possibilities. One, was that she was at StonePaw. Where else would Keegan have taken her, i
The Rejected Luna Chapter Eighty-Five
Rae searched the grassy field for something. Anything that she could use as a weapon. There was something glittering in the dark, and upon inspection, she discovered that it was a thick shard of glass. She picked it up. Nobody paid any attention to her. Everyone was engrossed in their own fight. She saw Negan and Keegan tumbling around in the dirt. They were still in their wolf forms. She held the glass tightly, but not sharply enough to cut her hand. Any extra injuries wouldn’t be doing her any favors. She neared them. Neither of them noticed her, and she began to fear that they wouldn’t. She stopped a safe distance away from him. She thought of calling Keegan’s name, but that would distract him and give Negan the advantage. So she held her breath and called out, “Negan!”He turned his head to her sharply. Keegan did the same. The point of this was to give Keegan the advantage, but he didn’t take it. Her guess was that he was too shocked at seeing her. Now that she had his attent
The Rejected Luna Chapter Eighty-Four
How would Rae get there?It was all that she was asking herself.She began walking. She didn't know where she was going. All she knew was that she couldn't stop and do nothing. Waiting for him to return was not an option. She was the one who was enraged now. How could he? How could he abandon her again, without a word?How could he make such a big decision without her?Rae felt hurt and betrayed, but she had to remind herself that Keegan wasn't himself. She had never seen him lose so much control. He was a shadow of his former self, and she knew that he would only go back to what he was once he killed his brother. But that was the whole problem. Fighting Negan was not a piece of cake. His pack was strong, and although Keegan's group had been reinforced by the males from WoodFur, they were all injured. The ones who weren't were very few. They would not stand a chance against StonePaw. So, why did he leave? Rae was walking around without any sense of direction. She was walking away
The Rejected Luna Chapter Eighty-Three
Smoke was everywhere. Rae sniffed her arm, and could smell it on her skin. It was rancid, and a constant reminder of what had happened. The house was black, and everything inside of it had burned. Nothing could be salvaged, and they lost most of their food. It was kept in a small room under the stairs, and had burned along with everything else. Three lives were lost, two of Keegan’s males, and the female who had been whipped by the cruel Beta of WoodFur before Keegan showed up. She couldn’t outrun the flames, it seemed. She had been in bed rest for the whole week. Rae’s heart ached for her, and when she heard of her passing, she cried. The unfairness of it all was too bitter. A lot of wolves were injured, and Rae along with Tara, all of the females, and some of the males who knew how to clean and disinfect wounds, had their hands full. She had never wrapped a wound before, so she was learning along the way. Tara taught her the basics, but it was far from enough. Watching their fac

They lied awake, staring at the ceiling of their bedroom. Rae was beyond spent. Her body ached deliciously, and the sleep that hovered above her threatened to drag her under its murky waters at any moment. Her fingers were interlocked with Keegan's. The warmth in them was unimaginable. He emanated enough heat to keep her warm. It was almost as if he was feverish all of the time. The night was lovely and breezy. Rae couldn't have imagined a better evening to be mated to him. It was the coolest night in the whole of summer. The moon had decided to bless their union in the most surprising way. She glanced at Keegan and saw that he turned to look at her at the same time. His lips curved into a smile, and he turned his body so he was lying on his side, and closed the distance between them. His fingers were on her hips. "Are you okay?""I'm perfectly okay," she said, smiling. "I didn't think that I could be this happy. In the beginning of this week, things were so grim and hopeless. I n
The Rejected Luna Chapter Eighty-One
The after-ceremony was more entertaining than Rae thought possible. The food was amazing, and everyone ate and danced merrily. Rae was glued to Keegan's side, and nothing could tear them apart. Everyone in the pack congratulated them, including Keegan's Beta, whose name she had finally learned; Jace. How had she forgotten? When she told Keegan that she had completely forgotten his name, he laughed. "Don't worry about it," he said, and kissed her full on the lips. "I don't think he minds. He's a practical wolf."Rae couldn't have asked for anything better. She was truly content. The evening was better than she thought it would be, and all her nervousness left her. She felt totally at ease amongst everyone. She ate and drank a little, mostly because she was nervous for what would happen after the after. And the way Keegan looked at her was a confirmation to her that he was thinking about the same thing. She felt hot all over, and trembled occasionally. Now that she had a taste of wha
The Rejected Luna Chapter Eighty
The day of their mating finally arrived. Rae was dressed in the fine dress that Tara had remedied. It had belonged to the Luna of WoodFur, and now it was hers. The design was a little different than the usual ones—the bodice was tight-fitting, and there was a slit on the side of the skirt so she could move freely. The sleeves had been ditched because the days were getting increasingly hot, and overall, Rae was absolutely in love with it. "Thank you," she said to Tara. "I can't take you enough for making this beautiful design for me. I look...I don't think I've ever looked this beautiful.""The pleasure is all mine," she replied with a smile. "You've saved us all from a miserable end. For that, I will always be thankful. You and Alpha Keegan saved our lives."Rae blushed. "It was our pleasure."Tara took her hand in hers and they stared at each other’s faces for a full minute. Rae felt truly grateful for her help. She was the one who she and Keegan put in charge of the house’s affair
The Rejected Luna Chapter Seventy-Nine
Rae slept for the better part of the day. She woke up feeling exhausted yet refreshed. Her muscles hurt, but it was a good like of pain, especially because she knew why they hurt so much. There was a smile plastered onto her face, and she couldn't stop smiling no matter how silly she felt. Last night was a marvelous experience, and she was thankful that he gave her a taste of what their mated life would look like. She was ready for the big commitment. It wasn't just that he made her feel good, it also had to do with the way she felt about Keegan excluding everything that they had done. To know that they could make love like that was a bonus. She hadn't expected that when she first fell in love with him. She wanted to make love with him every single day. She was excited for it to happen. And it was funny how she never craved sex before, but now that she had an idea of what it was, she wanted to do it again. Right before breakfast. It was insane, and she could hardly recognize hersel
The Rejected Luna Chapter Seventy-Eight
The two of them had dinner inside their tent, and Rae ate well for the first time in a long time. Everything was delicious; she ate as if her life depended on it, and perhaps it did. For the most part, Keegan watched her, and he did so with a faint smile on his lips. “Good?” he asked. She nodded. “For you, only the best,” he said, and she blushed. “The cooks here are spectacular. They had months of food kept all over the place. A cruel folk, they were. Starving all of you for their benefit. The injustice makes my blood boil.”“It’s over now,” Rae said to him after she swallowed her mouthful of wine. “You’re here to make everything right. You’ve saved them all.”Keegan smiled, then leaned in for a kiss. Rae felt delighted. She had forgotten the argument they had about StonePaw, and chose to live in the moment. There was no use in stressing about something that hadn’t happened yet. She was only shortening the beautiful moments, and tainting them with her worries and despair. She had
