Chasing His Rejected Luna 36: Lost Hope
ATLAS“How do I look?” Annie’s voice pulls me from my distracted thoughts. She was looking at me expectantly as she re-applied her lipstick.A bold red color that almost made her look like she was doing too much. It was a total contrast to the soft pink lip gloss Jade always wore. The former seemed to be begging for attention. While the latter acted like she was doing her best to remain hidden.I couldn’t tell her all that of course, I was already late for the meeting and she would want to go and change. So I smiled and told her what I know will hurry her along.“You look perfect.”She grinned, her perfect teeth shining.She leaned into me from her chair and placed a hand on my chest. Her eyes softened when she spoke.“I want to give the right impression as your partner,” she inhaled slowly. “I know people think I can’t be half of the luna Jade was, but I want to try.”Something heavy settled in my heart at the mention of Jade. I told myself it was because of what she said and how she
Chasing His Rejected Luna 37: Crazy Thoughts
JADEI was still in shock and disbelief when we left the restaurant. I couldn't believe Atlas acted that way.The man barely looked at me twice in the four years we were married. And now he was going crazy thinking I was with someone? What exactly did he want? What did it all mean?“Don’t worry yourself with thoughts about Atlas. He’ll stop once he realises it is for nothing.” Dad said, placing his hand in mine and giving it a comforting squeeze.I rolled my tongue over my bottom teeth. Thinking of the right thing to say. Was there even a right thing to say in this situation?What even is the situation?Ex husband realises his wife that he has ignored for four years is actually useful after trying it out with his not too bright mistress and seeing life isn’t really all that good?Not only was it a mouthful. It didn't make much sense.Atlas wasn’t regretting treating me the way he had all these years. I can just tell he is pissed that it seems like I’m moving on.He didn’t want me. But
Chasing His Rejected Luna 38: Her True Value
ATLAS“Why are you here?” I ask my beta, rounding the car to get into the passenger side.He opens the door on the side and gets into the back beside me. Not the front like he did the other day when he was feeling petty. I wanted to call him out on it just so I wouldn’t be the only one in a shitty mood. But he already had the upper hand over me.“We always go to work together.” He replies with a nonchalant shrug that made me want to dislocate his shoulder.“We don’t.” I left no room for argument.“Well, since you became a bachelor like me and stopped riding with a wife. I thought it would be good to keep you company so you don’t, you know….” He slid his finger over his neck, in the universal slaughter sign and I rolled my eyes.He is really stupid.“Do yourself a favor and stop visiting me.” He chuckles.“No can do, brother. I’m your suicide prevention hotline.”“If you’re not careful. You’ll be calling the cops next and reporting me for murder hotline.”“How would I do that if I am d
Chasing His Rejected Luna 39: Starting Over
JADEWhen I woke up, I told myself I was going to start afresh. With no thoughts of Atlas, or Annie, or anything and anyone related to my old pack.They may have been the only family I had apart from my grandmother, but if they didn’t want me. Then I’ll give them what they want and remove myself from anywhere they’ll probably be.It may be a little hard, seeing as Brandon is Atlas’s uncle. But oh well. I rarely saw him when I was in the pack. And Atlas sure as hell has never visited him.After my shower, I stood in front of the mirror. I couldn’t help but feel slightly different. I couldn’t pinpoint my finger on what exactly was different about me.Did my eyes seem lighter? Was my skin glowing?I almost laughed at the incredulous question. I’ve lost my mind.My eyes really were glowing though. It is weird that I was noticing something like that about myself. Probably because I rarely looked in the mirror on a normal day.Or maybe, it is the sign of a new start. You could pretend you w
Chasing His Rejected Luna 40: Happy Hour
JADEThe work day was going normal. I received compliments from the moment I stepped out of the car. And while I tried to downplay it when people asked if I did anything new to my hair or my makeup. It made me feel giddy inside.The best was Jaiya who walked into my office with a smile I couldn’t place on her lips.“I don’t think HR are supposed to be up here this often.” She chuckled at my comment as she settled into the chair in front of me.I cocked a brow but she ignored me.“Are you sending me out?” She teased right back. I laughed and shook my head.“Oh, no. You’re always welcome.”“Thank you.” She dipped down like she was bowing after a great performance on stage. “Did you do something to your hair? Your face maybe?”“Why?” I touched my hair and the side of my mouth, trying to hold myself back from grinning.“Don’t know. You just look like you came out of many men’s wet dreams.”“What?” I choked on my spit as I laughed. Completely shocked because out of all the things I thought
Chasing His Rejected Luna 41: In My Head
ATLAS“Since when did you become this boring bloke?” William, a friend of mine, laughed from his chair. When I didn't offer a response, he turned to Andrew. “Is this how you deal with him every single day?”Andrew only laughed.William is a schoolmate of ours who came to visit. And he clearly missed the tension between Andrew and I.Though I’ve known the guy since I was eighteen. He didn’t really pay attention to things and unless you slapped him in the face with the obvious, he would miss it.“Come on, Montgomery. I know you’ve been somewhat cold since your wedding.” He snorted. “You’re totally one of those annoying married men we always laughed about.”“You laughed at them.” I felt the need to point it out. Of course, he only waved me off before going back to scrolling on his phone.“Well, I’m not taking no for an answer. So you can finish ignoring me and pack up.”“I have a job to do.”Although his father was an alpha and he went through all that alpha training. William is a second
Chasing His Rejected Luna 42: He Is Everywhere
JADAMy Atlas radar was going off. Or according to Jaiya, my ‘Atdar’. Good thing though because it has been a false alarm all evening.“Are you waiting for someone?” She asked, being the more perceptive one of the group. Or maybe, just the one that wasn’t drunk yet.I hadn’t even realised I was looking at the door for most of the time until she pointed it out..I was just feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. And I kept asking myself ‘what if he walked in through that door?’. For someone who said I wasn’t going to be thinking about him. I’ve been doing a shit job at keeping my word.“No.” I cleared my throat, reminding myself she was still waiting for my reply.“Then why are you looking at the door? Your eyes have been there since we arrived.”I cleared my throat, not having an answer that wouldn’t sound extremely pathetic. In the end, I gave up and told her I wasn’t really used to this.“I get all of that. What I don’t understand is why you’re so worried? No one is going to call you
Chasing His Rejected Luna 43: Connection
ATLASAndrew gave me a subtle look and shook his head, but I was already on my feet and following her.“Where are you going?” I paid no heed to William, or even bothered to excuse myself.It was rude but he has been my friend for the longest years. He can deal with it.I paced outside the bathroom, wondering what was taking her so long. I don’t even know what the fuck I had to tell her. But here I am. Pacing outside a bathroom at a bar like some kind of pathetic creep.I had felt a huge weight be lifted off my shoulder when none of the women that were around her followed her. Though it later pissed me off that they were letting her be alone.It disgusted me more that women weren’t safe alone in a freaking bar during the day.The door opened and I stopped mid-step, my eyes locked on the woman that walked out shortly after.Jade has fixed her hair and washed her face. But there was a new coat of lipstick on her lips. Not the pink I was used to. It was a bit darker, making her look more
