Rejected Luna: He wants me back 103 : Lunch With Him
VERENA“See what you did?” Dory glares at Drake, who scratches the back of his neck.“Eh…it's a game where, um…you throw a ping-pong ball in plastic cups that have…” Drake looks at Dory hesitantly before answering, “Apple juice.”Ezra looks at them with amusement. “Wow. That sounds awesome. I want to play beer pong too!” He chirps and shifts his gaze towards me. “Mommy, can we play beer pong?”“Why don’t you show them your bicycle first? And your Buzz Lightyear?” I ask with a smile.“Yeah!” He turns to them, “Do you want to see my action figures?!” he asks in excitement.“Sure.” Dory nods, and he grabs her hand, pulling her towards his room.“Don’t rush,” I say.“Okay, Mommy.” His shout comes, and I smile as I hand Maria the plate. I hear footsteps and look up to find Elijah walking in, unbuttoning his coat. His gaze falls on me and my heart skips a beat.I told him to use one of our guest bathrooms to freshen up, and I can now smell the scent of shampoo on his hair that’s combed back
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 104 : Accidently Hit Your Foot
VERENAMy confusion is overtaken by the loud thumping of my heart as I feel Elijah’s presence beside me, his scent tempting me. Maria serves Elijah’s plate next after Ezra, and Elijah’s brows raise inquisitively when he sees his favorite dishes served on the plate.He looks at me and asks, a playful hint in his eyes, “Does Maria know what I like, or was it pure coincidence?”I shrug, spearing two of the perfectly seared scallops nestled on the bed of creamy grits. “Probably just a coincidence,” I mumble, trying to sound nonchalant despite the heat creeping up my cheeks.His eyes narrow playfully. “Coincidence, huh? Seems a little too on point for a coincidence. Did you, by any chance, mention my breakfast preferences to Maria?” he asks, his voice a low rumble that sends a shiver down my spine. My heart skips a beat, then hammers a frantic rhythm against my ribs. “Were you expecting me to stay?” he teases, his gaze flickering to my face.My cheeks heat up and I take a few truffle fries
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 105 : We Are Not A Couple
VERENA The atmosphere at the lunch table is light-hearted and happy. Laughter bounces around the table, accompanied by the clinking of silverware. Dad is sharing one of his fishing stories.“It was a rare one. This huge…” He uses his hands to show how big the fish he caught was. Everyone is listening intently to him, even Elijah.During the conversation, I notice Ezra sliding the carrots to one side of his plate, his nose scrunched in distaste.“You don’t like carrots?” Elijah asks, staring at Ezra's plate.Ezra shakes his head. “They taste very bleugh!” He sticks his tongue out, and Elijah hums.“I see. It's totally okay to not like something after you have tasted it. But…” Elijah says, and Ezra looks up at him. “You shouldn’t waste food like that. Some people don’t have the luxury of a proper meal like you do. Recycling is much better than wasting.”My heart tugs at his words. That’s what I said during our marriage, on the day he threw the milk coffee I made for him. He still rememb
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 106 : I'll wait
VERENA“Thanks for being here for Ezra,” I say, gaining his attention. I watch the water stream down the plate as it cleans it. “As much as I would have liked to try this on my own, I’m glad that you were here.” I look at him, and our eyes meet.“I’m always here. Always will be. Until the end,” he replies in a deep voice, and my heart thumps in my chest.I clutch the edge of the sink and bite my lower lip before asking, “What if…we never get back together? What will you do then?” I don’t know why I asked this, but I am just curious to know.Elijah stares at me, his obsidian eyes unreadable. He looks away, his focus returning to the soapy plate in his hands. “I’ll marry someone else,” he mumbles, his voice rough. “Someone who can run my pack by my side.” The words hit me like a physical blow, stealing the breath from my lungs and sending a jolt of unexpected pain through my chest. Marry someone else? Run the pack with his wife? The image that flashes through my mind—Elijah, with anothe
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 107 : Unspoken Emotions
VERENA“Even if fate throws us a cruel hand,” he continues, his voice dropping to a husky whisper, “even if you choose someone else, I’ll wait. Wait for you until the very end.” The possessiveness in his tone sends a shiver down my spine.I wish I could say he is lying. But he isn’t. Every single word coming out of his lips is genuine. They make my heart race wildly. The walls I have built to protect myself, he has broken them all.His gaze slides to my lips and I swallow as he leans in, tipping my chin up with his fingers. I don’t do anything, except close my eyes, feeling his lips brush against mine. Every single cell in my body hums with excitement.“Oh yes, yes. The—” The sound of Maria’s voice approaching slices through our moment. A strangled gasp escapes Maria’s lips as she rounds the corner into the kitchen, her cheerful chatter abruptly cutting off. Her eyes land on us, taking in the scene.The air crackles with sudden tension and awkwardness. We both freeze. Before I can thi
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 108 : The Stolen Glasses
VERENAElijah smiles and ruffles his hair. “I have to go back to my pack.”He pouts, his brows furrowing. “No! Stay. We’ll play all night and you can tell me bedtime stories,” he whines.I sigh. “Sweetie, he has work to do. He’ll come to meet you again soon.” Elijah looks at me, surprise flickering in his eyes. In a way, I told him that he can come here as many times as he wants. I want to tell Ezra right now about Elijah, but he has just recovered from a deadly curse. The information might overwhelm him and I don’t want that. I think Elijah understands that too. He smiles. “Yeah, I’ll come back to meet you. We’ll play together and I’ll tell you a good bedtime story.”“Promise?” Ezra asks.Elijah nods. “Promise.”“Okay. See you later!” Ezra releases his leg and runs up the stairs to play with the twins.Dad strides into the living room, his face etched with seriousness. He stops in front of Elijah, his gaze cool and assessing. A beat of silence stretches between them, thick with un
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 109 : Feral Instincts
VERENAI look back at him. “The guard was caught and interrogated. He said the person he sold it to did not show their face. The person just handed him the money and was wearing a hoodie to cover their face. The guard suspects that it was a man, but he does not have any concrete reason to support his claim.”Elijah tilts his head, his eyes swirling with doubt before he speaks. “So, it isn’t Nixie then?”“I can’t confirm since there’s no description of the person. Another mystery for us to solve,” I say and release an exasperated sigh. “It's hard to tell if Nixie is the one behind it or if she has nothing to do with any of this at all. Maybe we are going after the wrong person.”“You believe it's someone else who wants to ruin us,” Elijah mutters, his voice deep and grave.“Heh. I don’t know what to believe at this point, to be honest.” I kick a stone before my boot and watch it hit the ground a few steps away. “It's all blurry, and it scares me. Not for me but for Ezra and for everyon
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 1 : Second Chance Mate
Verena“Rena, I want to reject our bond and get separated,” Elijah’s voice doesn't hold an ounce of emotion as he sits across from me in the dim living room. I'd been waiting for him to celebrate our third wedding anniversary together. But when he arrived, there was this coldness about him. I figured he was just tired from work, but then he asked me to sit down and dropped a bombshell on me."Why?" I blink in disbelief. He must be joking, right? But the intensity of his gaze chips away at my doubt, replacing it with a growing sense of worry. I know the reason. The one I've feared the most for so long.His mate has returned to the pack.Elijah is the Alpha of one of the most powerful packs in Fenrisa, the Iron Claw Pack. I am his wife and his mate. One would think that due to being fated, our relationship would be a good one. But that’s far from the truth.The truth is, I am his second chance mate. Elijah’s first mate had left him just before the mating ceremony. The reason was unknown
