24: Half Shift
JADE
“Ohhh, cute neck piece.” Daiya winked at me, her fiery red curls bouncing as she walked out of the office with my file in hand.
I didn’t even get to thank her for the compliment.
She isn’t the first person to comment on it. Since I’d come to work, many people I ran into noticed it. I had thought of tucking it under my shirt because of the attention it was getting.
I thought it was just an ancient looking thing that would remind me of my grandmother. The interest everyone was taking in it surprised me.
It didn’t look particularly expensive. There was a stone in front of it but I doubted it was any special type. It definitely wasn't a diamo

JADEI was still watching Mr. Harrison in shock when Willow rushed into the room, like she knew what was happening.She ran up to me and tried to pull me off the floor. That managed to knock sense into me and I followed her, getting up as my senses came back to me.It wasn’t a wise decision to be close to someone when they are in a half shift stage. Nothing was familiar to them and they could harm anyone.“What’s that?” She asked I couldn’t tell if she was talking to me or not.I may have snapped out of my panicked state, but I’m still not fully in the right frame of mind to process things.Realizing that, she pulls out her phone from her pocket and dials for a bit before I hear her give one order.“Bring the tranquilizer.”She led me to my office, neither of us addressing the elephant in the room.Nothing had ever brought it up so I just assumed she was a human and she didn’t know about the whole werewolf thing. From the lack of shock in her eyes, I can tell she does. And she isn’t f
Chasing His Rejected Luna 26: Candy Makes You Smile
JADEI was still in shock of what Mr. Harrison said.The conversation with him has been running through my head for hours. I couldn’t sleep last night. I kept tossing and turning and staring at the locket I had held in my fat since he gave it back to me.He’d heaved a heavy sigh before he started speaking.‘The blood rhinestone was created to destroy alphas. Not all alphas, but certain alphas from different packs. And his pack had been one of them. Just as it was made to be their downfall, it was also their only saving grace.Unless you had one in your possession, you won’t be able to stop your pack being destroyed. And no matter your strength or the size of your army. A small pack could overthrow you because that is just the curse of the thing. Each pack was assigned one gem. And if you lose it. You lose your pack.’The one I had belonged to Mr. Harrison’s pack. His old pack, I guess. Seeing as it was with me. I would guess the pack was destroyed. He’d seemed bothered when we starte
Chasing His Rejected Luna 27: Angelic Hero
JADEI called myself dumb in many different ways when I saw just how dark it had gotten when I left the park. And of all, I chose today to not come out with my phone.I don’t even know what I was thinking. Or rather, wasn’t thinking. But I couldn’t order an uber and there were no signs of cabs anywhere on the street. I knew about this so why did I let myself lose track of time? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!!!To be fair, I had completely zoned out.I had no choice but to walk. It was even better than going to find a bus station because it was farther than where I was heading.My head was down and my steps were quick. I had one goal and that was getting home safely.“Ahhh,” I cursed when I felt a burn on my chest.It was sharp and extremely painful. I couldn’t keep going because of the pain so I leaned against one of the walls where I was walking. There wasn’t much light here and I wanted to keep walking forward. But my knees felt too weak and the pain was just getting worse.I unzipped my j
Chasing His Rejected Luna 28: Opps
ATLASMy teeth clenched when the annoying alpha from Greendale pack smirked. His bright blue eyes always unsettled me. They almost looked transparent.Damien-demon Allister was my age and equally as ambitious as me. So naturally, I hated the guy.“How is your wife, alpha? I heard she is one of the best fighters you have.”I see his beta roll his eyes, also with a sickening smile on his lips.If they knew about Jade, then they knew damn well she wasn’t living here. Taking the whole ‘keep your friends close and enemies closer’ too seriously.“She is good.” I replied in a clipped tone. “And we’re not here to talk about her. What do you want?”When he called and requested a meeting with me. I couldn’t decline. Not because of anything, but I didn’t want him to think that even for one second he made me nervous. I hadn’t expected him to say it was tonight though. Still, I couldn't say no.I didn’t need any preparation whatsoever to meet with the little shit.I hate him more than anything and
Chasing His Rejected Luna 29: Jade
JADE“Are you okay, miss?”That angelic voice called out again.I gave my head a little shake, trying to get to my feet. Seeing that, the man moved forward and took my hand, helping me up with a single pull.A zap of electricity shot through me when our hands touched. His eyes turned back to me and I saw confusion there. It was only present for a minute before it disappeared and he plastered a welcoming smile on his face.“Alpha,” another man came running to him, holding an iPad, I think, in his hands. “We need to get going. We’re already late.”His eyes trailed to me and they creased like he just noticed me.“And who is the pretty lady?” His voice changed, taking on a flirty tone as he eyed me up and down.I started thinking if my plain jeans and jacket looked good. I got rid of that thought with the speed of light. I had never cared what people thought of how I looked. Especially men. I wasn’t about to start now.“That’s what I’m trying to figure out too.”The man with the blue eyes
Chasing His Rejected Luna 30: Midnight Date
ATLASAndrew was pissed about Jade. We didn’t find her, even after spending half of the night searching every possible place she might be.If not for him, I wouldn’t have even known where to begin. Worst thing was, she didn’t even go to work. And no one from there had communicated with her.As expected. It made him worry more. Though if I’ll have to admit. I was a bit worried too.“Just give up and call him.” Andrew groans, shooting me a dirty look.“No.” I replied, barely looking up from my phone where I was replying to emails.If there is one thing I won’t do in this world. It is calling my uncle. The bastard hated that I was alpha and although he had a pack he was leading. He wanted this one. Because he believed it should have been rightfully his as my father’s only brother.Well, I’m my father’s only son and he knows I should be the one to inherit the alpha title.As you can tell, we don’t see eye to eye.I was even surprised to find out he helped Jade. But knowing him, he only di

ATLAS“Baby, why don’t you stay for breakfast?” Annie pouted, sitting up from the bed.The comforter falls down her body, exposing her naked breasts to my eyes. I didn’t feel anything as I kept buttoning my shirt up. I recalled she had said something and decided to reply.“I have an early meeting. I can’t.” I said, not wanting to hurt her feelings.In reality. I could move the meeting if I wished. I just didn’t feel right. And knowing if I stayed in her vicinity. She’ll easily catch on that something is wrong and she’ll want me to tell her.The only problem with that is, I don’t know what the hell is wrong.Things have been off since Jenna left and after that picture last night. I’m unnecessarily pissed at everyone and everything. And she doesn’t deserve to deal with my shitty mood.‘I would say she better get used to it. You never treated Jade any better. You won’t treat her right either.’I ignored Kian, the whiny bitch, and went on with pulling my pants over my legs.Annie had gott
Chasing His Rejected Luna 32: Surprise
JADEDamien, the man with the gorgeous eyes, proved he was a great company last night.Though it felt a bit weird when he was flirting with me. Overall, I had a great time and by the time we decided to call it a night, it was almost two in the morning. He did take me home. After much argument.I learnt that he wasn’t easily dissuaded, especially when he put his mind to something.For some reason, I was more interested in dressing up. So I picked up my best blouse and the new pants I had got for work. I spent more time on my hair than I usually did. I tried curling it, which was a failure, so I just straightened it and went on my way.I got into work quite early, most of the floors were empty when I got there. I head straight to my office and decide to catch up on work that I might’ve missed from yesterday. There wasn’t much to do. And I knew it would take an hour or two at most.I was going through some of the notes Willow must have left when I heard a knock on the door and said perso
