All Chapters of Rejected Luna: He wants me back : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

VERENAOur hands brush against each other, and a tingling shiver runs down my back. I snatch my hand back, my heart hammering as Elijah stares down at the book.He snags the book before I can, flipping through the pages with ease. Sunlight highlights the sharp angles of his jaw and the way his dark eyes glint as they scan the text. His hair is messy, probably from rushing over here. Suddenly, I have a strange urge to mess it up even more.And maybe, just maybe, get a whiff of whatever cologne he’s wearing. It smells… good. Really good.Serena purrs inside me, having woken up from her slumber. “Go for it,” she encourages.Elijah’s voice breaks my thoughts. “If you are done eye-fucking me, then concentrate on finding the book. This one isn’t it.” He slaps the book closed and places it back on the shelf.“I wasn’t looking at you. I was looking at that… shelf behind you,” I reply confidently.“Yeah, sure. Whatever you say.” He flashes me a sexy smirk that takes my breath away. Why is he l

VERENAA tense silence falls on the library. I stare at Dad, my eyes wide and my heart thumping.What? He lost his powers?!“How is that possible?” I ask.He sighs heavily, looking at his palm. “The attack that happened, it made me lose a lot. Not only your mother’s life and you, but I also lost my celestial powers that day. My wolf survived, but his powers were gone.” He explains, sadness glinting in his eyes.“How did you lose it?” Elijah asks, observing my dad with his arms crossed. “Did the enemy have something that can cause harm to a celestial wolf?”Dad frowns at him and then looks at the window. “It was more like a rogue attack,” he answers and Elijah’s brows shoot up.“Rogues? But rogues can’t harm a celestial wolf.”Dad’s jaw tightens. “They were different. Not like your usual rogue. Hollow eyes, burned skin. They were hard to fight.”Elijah looks at me, his eyes lighting up with realization. “Ashwalkers,” he mutters and my breath hitches.“You were attacked by Ashwalkers?”

VERENAAnother guttural, inhuman laugh rips from Ezra’s throat. “You can’t do anything,” the voice echoes, cold and distorted. Then, as quickly as it appears, the silver light in his eyes fades. His body crumples, eyes rolling back, and he collapses unconscious onto the bed.My vision blurs as I look at him and then my arm. His bite marks my skin. But the pain isn’t more than seeing my child suffer.I don’t care if he kills me. I just want him to be saved.The clock ticks, each tick a blow against the tense silence gripping the lounge we sit in. Half an hour has crawled by since Ezra…he got possessed. Celine is in Ezra’s room, checking his vitals.The rest of us sit scattered around the lounge, worry etched on our faces. Dad stares blankly at the wall, his jaw clenching. Elijah seems to be focusing on a point on the floor, his brows furrowing. The twins stare out the window. None of us dare to speak, the weight of the recent incident hanging heavy in the air.Curses bring bad luck and

VERENAStrong arms grab me from behind, yanking me back from the glowing circle just as I’m about to fall in. I gasp for breath and sense Elijah’s presence through the veil of dust and wind. “Don’t stop. Keep going, Rena,” he growls. “I’m here.” His voice roars against the loud storm.He holds me tight by the waist, his warmth engulfing me. I feel him tug me towards a tree. He wraps his free arm around the tree trunk as an anchor.His presence gives me the strength I need. “Within this leaf, a curse I bind. From my son’s soul, it unwinds. Let its tendrils loosen, its darkness leave. Release from its hold, lend me your strength to finish this deed. Guide my will, and cleanse with your light. Banish the evil, set wrongs to right,” I chant.A surge of energy pulses outwards from the circle. It crackles through the air. Ezra’s body shudders, then goes still. The silver markings on his face glow momentarily, an intense silver that seems to suck the darkness out of the storm. Then it dims.

VERENA“Ezzie!” My eyes water with tears. Elijah lets me go, and I run towards him.Dad lowers him gently to the ground. I engulf Ezra in a crushing hug, burying my face in his hair. A choked sob escapes my lips as his small arms wrap around my waist. Relief and a fierce sense of love for him wash over me in waves. We were so close to losing him.“Mommy!” He yells, hugging me back tightly. I close my eyes, letting the tears fall. My baby. He’s safe. It worked.My gaze meets Elijah's. His dark eyes, usually cold, now hold a depth of relief that mirrors my own. A silent understanding passes between us. No matter how distant we are now, we have faced the darkness together. As I look up, the first rays of dawn peek over the horizon, painting the sky with streaks of gold and pink. It warms my heart, filling it with hope.Thank you, Selene. I show the goddess my gratitude for saving my son.I break the hug and look at Ezra. His eyes are red and puffy. I wipe his cheeks and kneel to match hi
