Chasing His Rejected Luna 11: Decisions
ATLASAnnie had roped me into coming for her latest checkup. She kept complaining about… everything. And I’m getting sick of it.But I guess it came with being pregnant.‘Oh please, don’t act like she hasn’t always been a bitch.’ I recognised the voice of my wolf, Kian.He never truly was a fan of hers. He never liked the way I treated Jade either. She was his true mate and he wanted to get to know her wolf and have many pups. That obviously wasn’t going to happen seeing as he had to go through me to do that.And just the thought of touching her had always left me feeling a strange way.“Do you see that?” Annie squealed, squeezing my hands so tight. If I was a mere human, it would have dislocated.I pulled my hand away from her and nodded at the grainy image on the screen. I couldn't understand jack shit I was seeing but she seemed happy enough so I faked a smile.“Yeah, that’s lovely.”“I know.” She agreed, her eyes glowing with happiness at whatever she was seeing. “Can we know the
Chasing His Rejected Luna 12: Working Late
JADEI’ve been working at Harrison and Garrett for a week now. And I have to admit. I love office work. More than I thought I would.I’ve always been a field worker, being a warrior and all. But dressing up in corporate and coming into the office has been great.Thanks to Brandon and how close he was with the owner, I was able to get a position as an assistant. Even without going to college. I was super grateful for the opportunity.I have always been kind of an overachiever. So I always made sure to do everything I was supposed to on time. I didn’t want to give my boss any reason to complain. Though, he was a nice man in his fifties. He was the director for this branch.His meeting ran late today so I had to stay longer than usual. He was going on a trip with his secretary. and we needed to get everything else settled and make sure he doesn’t fall back on work.Instead of coming in earlier tomorrow. I just decided to stay and send out all the emails I was supposed to.His secretary,
Chasing His Rejected Luna 13: Altercation
JADEMr. Harrison, who insisted I just call him by his first name, Ford, actually sat with us until we closed. And though I thanked him when he offered me a ride, he stayed back while I waited for my uber. While we waited, we spoke about everything and nothing.I have never felt so comfortable in the company of a stranger the way I did with him. It was like I knew him from somewhere. But I’m sure I’ve never seen his face before. I’m good with faces. If I had met him, I wouldn’t have forgotten it.I got the notification that my uber had arrived so I got up and told him. We walked out of the building and I could see the car parked in the parking lot. Before we could get to it, I noticed a figure barreling towards us.At first, I was confused, thinking maybe James had forgotten something. But the moment he came close, my blood ran cold.And not just because Atlas looked livid. My first thought was, he has found me.I didn’t even want to think of how. Clearly, if he wanted to do something
Chasing His Rejected Luna 14: Intruder
JADEMy hands were still trembling even when I got back home. I couldn’t believe that just happened.I didn’t go home straight because I was sure Atlas was going to follow me. I would rather not have another altercation with him tonight.I didn’t know what to feel. How to feel.While one part of me, the one that has been pining for an ounce of his affection, was over the moon.In all the years I've done everything to get him to look at me like I was a human being and not just some part of the furniture. It has never worked. But his full attention was on me today. Heck, he even pleaded with me.The more stubborn side of me was not in the least impressed by his act.I took off my clothes and headed to the shower I’m mediately. That was the only way I would be able to clear my head.I came out with a towel wrapped around me and one in my hair. Just as I sat on the bed, a strong wave of fatigue washed over me and all I wanted to do was lay down and close my eyes.My mind was running with
Chasing His Rejected Luna 15: Morning After
JADEI shut down all of Atlas’s attempts to have a conversation. It wasn’t easy because he was very adamant when drunk.It’s a trait I’m just learning about him. Since I have never seen him drunk in the four years we’ve been married. And before that. He was pretty much distant.He managed to walk to the spare bedroom, which I was grateful the house had. I wouldn’t have known what to do with him. He was obviously not in the right frame of mind to drive. And I may be pissed but I didn’t want him to die.His finger trails a path up my arm when I tried to pull the covers over him. It made me shiver and jump back a bit.Atlas’s eyes were starting to close but he managed to pop one open and the dark look there made my breath hitch. He releases me and closes his eyes. Then I hear him say softly. So low that if I wasn’t a werewolf I would have missed it.“You always take good care of me. Even when I don’t deserve it.”I left the room after turning off all the lights. I didn’t want to think mu
Chasing His Rejected Luna 16: More
ATLASI shouldn’t have asked. I knew I shouldn’t have asked. I didn’t want to know the answer to that.For the life of me, I couldn’t tell why that bothered me. My recent obsession with everything that has to do with her was surprising.I’d known her for years before we got married. I never really paid much attention to her except on the training ground. And that too, because she was one of the best fighters I’ve ever seen.It was one of the reasons I was taken aback when I found out she was my mate. It just didn’t make much sense.She wasn’t exactly my type. And I was in love with Annie.Was? I shook my head. Not even wanting to think of that question.After I left Ford standing there with amusement dancing in his eyes. I attempted to follow the uber but it was already too late.“Give her space, son. This isn’t going to work out.” I glared at the man.He was on my shit list. Forget that we were business partners. I didn’t care and I would cut any ties with him if I found out he so mu
Chasing His Rejected Luna 17: First Kiss
JADEThe feel of his lips on mine lingered. Long after he was gone. I still felt his hands on my body.Atlas kissed me. Atlas kissed me.Atlas kissed me!It didn’t matter how many times I said it or how I said it. It didn't feel real. It wasn’t real.I told myself it was all just a crazy dream and I just needed to wake up. So after he left, leaving me with shaky legs. I crawled back into my bed and willed myself to sleep the rest of the day.I was glad my boss was on a trip, and Mr. Harrison said I should take the day off. He probably didn’t want Atlas to show up again.Ironic, seeing as he was here.Instead of the nothingness I craved. I ended up having an explicit dream about Atlas.I woke up drenched in sweat with a pulse beating between my thighs. I took a cold shower because my skin felt too hot and got dressed in my coziest outfit. Then I sat and obsessed over what happened. Still not wanting to believe it had actually happened.Atlas has never kissed me. Since the peck he gave
Chasing His Rejected Luna 18: Party Invite
JADEI haven’t seen Atlas since he came here drunk. And while Andrew has been visiting consistently since the day we went out to dinner. I haven’t grown the balls to ask about him. Although the curiosity was eating at me.I’m back at work, although my boss is still not back. Mr. Harrison asked if I could work for him as his assistant before he settled in and hired his own staff. He only had his secretary for one. I didn’t want to say yes but after recalling what Atlas had done, I couldn’t refuse so I just agreed.My other boss was amazing and he was really nice and unproblematic. But working with Mr. Harrison was much better. I saw the way he treated his secretary, who was about my age, like his daughter. He treated me the same way too. I had to say it is one of the best things that have happened to me all year.I was sorting through his emails when I heard a knock on the door. Did I mention I also have my own office. Since they worked on a bigger scale than my former boss. There were
