last update Last Updated: 2022-10-21 23:33:06

Rae dreamt of Kara again.

She hated that, because then she’d think about her sister for the whole day. She avoided thinking about any of her relatives for her own well-being. She didn’t want another depressive episode. She was acclimatizing to her new reality and didn’t need any unnecessary hindrance. Thinking of home was never good for her.

She tore the piece of meat she was eating in two easily with her fingers. Juice dripped down the side of her hand. She placed it in her mouth and chewed. Although there was nothing particularly wrong with the meat, she was tired of eating it day after day. She knew how ungrateful she sounded but she wished there was more variety. At home, she loved eating macaroni and cheese and jacket potatoes. Salads weren’t everyone else’s favorites but they were hers.

Keegan watched her closely. “What are you thinking about?”

Rae both hated and loved how he could read her so easily. She hated it because there wasn’t much that she could hide from him. She lo

    “Rae,” someone was whispering her name. “Rae.”She cracked an eye open. It was dark and the door to the caravan was open. Panic kicked in but she calmed down instantly when she saw Keegan standing beside her. Her heart was racing. She sat up slowly. She felt immensely tired. “What’s the matter? Where were you?”“Gone,” he answered. “I’m back now. Were you worried?”Rae nodded. Her head hurt from doing so and she didn’t know why. He kept looking at her face and refused to look away. She was glad that he was back. She asked him, “Why did you wake me?”“I wanted to have a good look at your face,” he answered. “Is that too much to ask?”“Keegan, you know we can’t,” was her answer. He inches closer to her face. He was looking at her lips. “Why can’t we exactly?”She started shaking her head but he brushed his lips against hers. He did it softly, lovingly. She closed her eyes. She didn’t tell him to stop but her logical mind was telling her to. Her heart rate accelerated and she was breath

    Rae was squatted on the ground for a long time. Unfortunately, she couldn't hear what was being said. She only heard that they were talking and laughing together and seemed to be having a good time. She was angrier than she had ever been. Her heart was hammering against her chest. She never imagined such a situation and therefore she didn't know what to think or feel beside anger.This was what he did when he disappeared? She thought there weren’t female rogues. That was what he told her. She spent hours worried about him and he was having a good time with some female in the woods? Why didn’t he tell her? Oh, she was furious. And the harder they laughed, the worse she felt. He was out having fun while she was stuck inside the caravan worrying about him. He didn’t even have the decency to be honest with her. Why did he insist on wanting to mate with her when he could ask the female he was talking to?Was it all a way to get back at Negan? Everything he told her was a lie. Keegan wasn

    Rae stepped back quickly, breaking the kiss. He was breathing harshly and so was she. She became suddenly hyper aware of her nakedness and covered her breast with the palms of her hands. She was embarrassed. He stepped back quickly, looking down at their toes. She didn’t know what had come over her. There was chaos in her head before he kissed her and now there was dead silence. She became ashamed of herself. Of her unfounded anger and reckless behavior. She had risked her life out there because he chose to entertain a female. It made no sense to her now that she thought about it. She didn’t know what had come over her. “I’m sorry,” he said, breaking the awkward and tense silence. “I don’t know what came over me. I shouldn’t have.”“Yes,” she agreed halfheartedly. “You shouldn’t.”Keegan looked uncomfortable. He averted his gaze and didn’t look at her again for the rest of the night. She put on clothes and sit on her bed. He sat at the table in the kitchenette and said nothing to h

    Rae waited for Keegan to return and eventually, he did. She was anxious. She waited for him to say something to her as soon as he entered the caravan but he looked at her in a manner that suggested that he didn't know what to say either. She felt discouraged by his silence but her answer didn't change when she asked herself what she would do. It was the second fastest decision that she had ever made in all her life and like the first one, which was leaving her pack and everything she knew behind, she didn't give it too much thought. Keegan leaned against the table and folded his arms. She sat anxiously in bed, hoping that he would say something to break the tense silence. He looked at her uncertainly and then looked away. She held her breath and waited for the moment that he would mention the kiss and what they had done. When he opened his mouth to speak, though, it was the opposite of what she expected. "Lunch will be served a little later. The hunting took longer than expected."

    Rae stepped on a twig and Keegan turned around.She would admit that a part of her didn't want to do as he asked. She was hurt by his callousness earlier. He looked hopeful and even relieved and she no longer knew what to expect where he was concerned. He had pushed her away earlier so what was the point in what he was doing? "I'm here," she said for no reason in particular. "Thank you for coming," he said to her. "What's this about?" "There's something that I want to show you. It's a long distance from here. Are you prepared to walk?" "Of course," she told him. "Why wouldn't I?" Keegan chuckled but said nothing. She was dying of curiosity but if he wouldn't tell her where they were going, she wouldn't ask. "Follow me," he said. There weren't many words that she could use to describe the path they followed. It looked like the rest of the forest. Trees on either side of them, grass everywhere, wild roses and flowers growing on bushes, little animals scurrying past them occasiona

    Days had passed, and Rae and Keegan hadn't spoken about them. Rae was starting to think that the whole thing would soon be forgotten. She hoped it would be true but at the same time, didn’t. It was a complicated feeling that she felt was better off not described. He didn’t say anything and that was a relief but a part of her resented him for his silence. How could he not say a thing?How could he remain so inflexible?She was currently reading a new book. Keegan had gotten his hands on another suitcase and it was even fuller than the last two. Gratitude swelled in her chest for him. She had much she wanted to say to him but didn’t know where to begin. It was incredible how her feelings for him changed the whole dynamic of their relationship. There was no more harmless banter. The conversations they had over their meals stopped, too. She didn’t know what to say without reminding both of them of what had transpired between them so she said nothing. She didn’t know what his excuse was b

    “Keegan,” Rae said after a long while. Her shoulders burned from contact with the sun and she felt dehydrated from sweating so much. He lifted his head. He was still in his wolf form so he wouldn’t be able to answer her, unless it was with head gestures. She licked her dry lips and asked, “Do you think you’re ready to go back inside? I don’t want to leave you out here by yourself.”She was trying not to look at his chest because there was still a lot of crusted blood there. His fur was dark red and he was lethargic. He nodded his head, though, so she stood up and after a minute of waiting for legs to stop tingling, she marched toward the caravan. Keegan was trailing behind her. She opened the door and he walked inside. He shifted instantly. His back was toward her so she couldn’t see the wound on his chest. He lay on the bed and that was when she saw the mess. The hole was still there but there weee scabs all around it. He closed his eyes and looked like he was falling back asleep.

    Rae spent the whole morning thinking about how she would tell him how she felt. She woke up with certainty. She had never felt such certainty before in her life. It had to do with seeing him almost dying in her arms. At that moment, she realized that if he died, she would be bereft. She would never forgive herself for not giving them a chance. She knew then that she would rather be with him then not. It was a strange thought because she didn’t stop finding a lot of aspects about him irritating. Tolerable was what they became. Because despite everything, he never stopped caring for her. There was nothing that she did that ever made him change his mind about helping her. Her own family had given up on her at some point so his actions were admirable. He did the impossible for her time and time again. He did what nobody else would do, not even herself. Rae didn’t want to lose him and the thought of wandering the wild on her own didn’t fill her with excitement as it had so many weeks ago

  • 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

    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

    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

    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 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 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

    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 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
