Rejected Luna: He wants me back 148 : Never Loved You
VERENA“What?!” Carlisle’s voice snaps, and I notice him sitting beside me. I was so engrossed in Elijah that I completely forgot about my surroundings. I need to focus.“We found one Ashwalker. More like capturing it,” Cyrus begins, “And through some thorough research, we found small components of the Goddess Gem in them.”I involuntarily gasp. But I ain’t the only one who has a huge reaction to this revelation. Elijah whirls his head at Cyrus, his brows pinching as if he’s silently asking for answers from him.“The Goddess Gem has immense powers and those powers can only be wielded by a Celestial wolf,” Cyrus glances at me, his eyes accusing me of using it silently. “That’s why the King believes that you are behind this.”My face turns cold, and my chest tightly clenches. How is that possible? How can they find components of the Goddess Gem inside an Ashwalker? The gem has been kept in a locker in our mansion, and no one has access to it except Dad and me.“I know it's a lot to dige

VERENAIn matters like these, I suspect my heart and ask myself if I am a fool who couldn’t see through Elijah’s cruel intentions. But my heart is in the right place. Because all his words are a lie.A plan that he formulated. We need to act like we hate each other in front of Cyrus and that I’m heartbroken.My task is to make that lie sound true. So my heart needs to break again, I need to feel it again. Otherwise, General Cyrus will see through the cracks.If I’m going to act heartbroken, then I need to feel it to its rawest form, and only Elijah can bring that out of me.A growl rips through Carlisle’s throat as he grabs Elijah’s collar and launches his fist at him. I am startled by his act, so is Dad, but he does not stop him. Elijah grabs his fist before it can hit his face and glares at Carlisle.Of course, Carlisle does not know. I did not have the time to tell him.“I’ve had enough of you disrespecting Verena. Shut your trash mouth, or I’ll break your jaw right here, on this ta
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 150 : The Fate Against Us
VERENAI want to do nothing more than run my finger through his inky locks, grip his hair, and crush my lips into his. My wolf wants to be close to him. But his gaze demands that I turn those desires into pure hatred. That’s how we confess our love today. Through hatred.“Listen carefully,” he whispers, his voice low and dangerous. “I have never, ever loved you. I hate you. Always have, always will.”All I can hear is…I can never hate you. I love you. Always have, always will.His words make a jolt run down my spine, and my eyes sting with tears. I don’t want to cry; I don't want to show him how I feel. But a tear slides down my right eye.I take a deep breath and slap him. From the corner of my eye, I notice Cyrus smirk. Good. This slap has sealed the deal. Now he totally believes that we are separated.Elijah snaps his head, his eyes digging holes into me.“I hate you!” I roar, the tears falling down my eyes. They are meant to show how broken I feel, but they are actually out of gui
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 151 : The Truth Behind The Act
VERENAHis gaze falls on the walking stick. “What happened to your leg?” His voice holds concern, but I feel the urge to scoff at it.“An accident,” I say, not wanting to go into the gruesome details. The details that he already knows very well.His eyes flicker with something I don’t understand. “Take care of yourself. I’ll pay you a visit to check on you,” he says, and my stomach churns. Is it his way of saying that he’ll inspect me and my pack? Fuck!“Sure. It will be an honor to have you as my guest,” I manage to say, swallowing the curses that I want to throw at him.I leave the hotel and get inside my car with Dad and Norton. Carlisle has already taken the back seat and is staring out of the window. He notices my presence as the seat dips beside him but does not say anything.Norton gets behind the wheel and starts the car. Once we are far from the hotel, Carlisle looks at me.“What was that, Verena?” he asks, his voice almost demanding.“I don’t want you to fall into this mess,
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 152 : Love That Idiot
Dory’s face hardens. “Four years ago, when you were here, the Alpha’s brother, Theon, had threatened to take over your pack. At that time, the Moonlight Pack’s security was extremely weak. Alpha Elijah had no choice but to ask for help from the King. The King said that he’ll protect your pack from Theon’s attacks but in return…” she hesitates, her voice choking. I swallow the lump in my throat, feeling like I know the answer. “In return, he wanted to rule our pack and make Alpha Elijah turn into his puppet.”I take a sharp breath, feeling like someone has pulled the rug from under my feet. He took over Elijah’s pack, so that means Elijah is no longer in control of his pack.My heart tightens in my chest. He sacrificed his position just to protect me. The Iron Claw pack was his dream. I had seen him work diligently to bring it to where it is now. He shed his blood and tears so the pack could flourish and become the strongest in Fenrisa.Then he gave all that up. Tears sting my eyes as

VERENADory nods slowly. “Yes. They already are.” She looks at the door with fear in her eyes, as if worried that someone will hear us.“Don’t worry. The doors are soundproof,” I mutter and place my hand on hers.“I don’t care if they hear us. I’ll put them in their place,” Drake growls, showing his warrior side.I shake my head. “Don’t even think about it. You can’t underestimate the King’s men. They are really strong,” I warn him as I remember how brutally Serena was attacked.Then, sadness grips me. Is this how we are going to live now? Elijah and I separated from each other, always in fear? I feel a strong pain in my chest. Honestly, death seems like a better option than staying away from him.“But don’t worry, Luna,” Dory says again, gaining my attention. Her face is calm but firm as she adds, “The Alpha has a plan. For now, you both need to act like you are separated. It will be hard, but you both will have to communicate in secret. Don’t text each other or call. Since Drake and

VERENAI smile. It was honestly impressive. That impassive, cold look…Only a beast like Elijah can ace it and fool even the smartest man in the room. Dad looks at me. “So…what do we do now? You have broken your alliance with Elijah…” he rolls his eyes, “Fake breaking the alliance. But if we are not careful, the King’s men will catch onto our act.” I nod, agreeing with dad’s concern. I recall Cyrus saying he’ll visit me, by which he meant he would investigate my pack. I have to be prepared for that and not let him see through our plan. My face hardens as I look ahead. “We’ll head onto the next plan…” —---------------------------“Mommy, where are we going?” Ezra asks from the backseat of the car. I peek at the rearview mirror and see him hold his action figure while sitting beside Maria, a frown on his little face. I smile, keeping my voice soft. “To your school. It's your first parents teacher meeting,” I tell him. But his frown only deepens. “But my teacher did not say anything
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
