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
Chasing His Rejected Luna 44: Escape Plan
JADEI ran out of the club, not stopping to reply to Jaiya that was calling out for me and running after me. I flagged down a cap as soon as I got out. And I was just about to get in when she gripped my hand and forced me to stop.Tears were rolling down my face without me even realizing.“What happened? Who hurt you?” She asked, the words coming out of her in a rush.I shook my head, not sure what I was trying to convey. She didn’t understand me any more than I understood myself and she kept looking at me with a lost expression.I looked over her shoulder. Somehow feeling him close and sure enough, Atlas just came out the door.
Chasing His Rejected Luna 45: Lose My Mind
ATLAS“You chased her out! What the fuck is wrong with you? What did you do to her?!”Andrew looked like he wanted to punch a hole in my fucking face and the thing is, I would probably let him do it.He was yelling in my face, paying no mind to the people moving about their day, shooting us weird looks as they passed by.“Why do you have to be so fucking miserable and then you make everyone else around you feel that same way?” He yells exasperated. “No one is forcing you to be this asshole but why do you subject—““That’s enough now,” William appeared out of nowhere. Handing Andrew his suit jacket that he must have take
Chasing His Rejected Luna 46: Last Time
JADEJaiya pretty much forced me to spend the night at her place. Though to be honest, I was happy to stay there. Just seeing more of her space confirmed my initial judgment of it. It really is every girl’s dream home.Not only do you have your space to make into whatever you want. It was so big and so private. It felt like she was existing in her own little world. Big world.“How do you come into work everyday?” I asked late that night as we lounged on the couch and ate the popcorn she insisted on making.“What do you mean?” She swallowed before replying.“If I lived in an apartment like this. I don’t think I’ll be motivated to step outside ever again.”She chuckled, shaking her head. And I noticed her cheeks darkened a little bit at my comment. She really was modest.All that chaotic energy she had at work was at rest here. It wasn’t like she was a different person. Not at all. She is the same person that had walked into my office and pretty much adopted me as one of her friends. Th
Chasing His Rejected Luna 47: Office Guest
ATLASI camped outside Jade’s apartment last night. As much as I hated being anywhere that Brandon had anything to do with. I couldn’t sleep after all that happened and I thought she would be there.If you asked what I wanted to tell her. I wouldn’t know what to tell you. But it felt essential to my existence to see her and so I waited outside her apartment all night. Hoping she would show up.Like a creep, I peered inside hoping I would see her. Though to be honest, I knew she wasn’t there as soon as I arrived. There was no feel of her.She didn’t come back. I couldn’t help the multiple horrible thoughts I had. Thinking maybe something had happened to her. Or if she was off with that damned Harrison or that equally useless Damien.I’ll kill him if he lays even a finger on her.Just thinking about it right now is making me upset.Andrew was staring at me from across the table. His eyes were unreadable. But his annoyance was quite clear.After I waited all night for her, I found myself
