VERENAI gasp as I feel my body being propelled towards the tracks, with the train inches away. In a flash of light, I regain my balance and step away from the edge of the platform.The sound of the train tires passing through the platform overcomes the sound of my racing heartbeat as I stare at the old lady with wide eyes. My body would have been smashed by the train. Did she push me mistakenly?“Why did you–” I stop as I notice how the old lady straightens her back and flexes her arms. A shadow falls on her round face while her eyes glint yellow with a hint of danger in them.“Tch. So close,” she clicks her tongue.I gulp the lump down my throat while positioning my body in a fighting stance, “Who are you?” I ask in a serious tone.The old lady pulls a knife from the pocket of her pink sweater and flips it in her hand like a pen. Her lips curl upward in an unnerving smile. "Aw, don’t be scared, angel. I’m just going to hurt you a little."Then, in a second, the knife is inches away f
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 29 : The Potrait
VERENAAs soon as the lights are turned on, a portrait of a lady on the wall across the room flashes before my eyes. The lady sits on a chair, and looks back at me with a certain pride swirling in her green eyes, her long midnight blue hair cascading down her slim neck. The lady in the portrait is me.A gasp leaves my lips. Why am I in this portrait?“Her name is Julianne,” Carlisle’s voice sounds heavy when he speaks beside me, “She was my mate, and my late wife.” There is sadness in his sapphire eyes as he stares at the portrait.My jaw hangs in disbelief. Is he joking? Because Julianne looks exactly like me. The similarities are so strong that for one second, I started to wonder when I took a picture like this.Carlisle slowly turns to me with a grimness on his face, “You are not my first mate either, Verena. We are both each other’s second chance mates,” He utters with not a single hint of playfulness in his voice. “My mate died in a car accident two years ago. It was two months a
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 30: Her Scent
ELIJAHI face the angry mob with calm composure. Their shouts stopped the moment I made it clear with one sharp gaze that I won’t tolerate them raising their voices against their Alpha. The name ‘Cold-blooded Tyrant’ wasn’t given to me for nothing. I like to rule with an iron fist and make sure everyone obeys me, no matter what. That’s the only way I have learned to survive.But right at this moment, I can’t tolerate these pigs who once used to hurl insults at Rena. She created rules that would benefit everyone, yet they just wanted to berate her for being an orphan.My thoughts are interrupted when I notice their gazes shift behind me, distracted by someone else. I look over my shoulder and find Nixie standing in the portico, hiding herself behind Derek.“Die, you witch!” The voices of the parents rise again in the damp air as the reason for their children’s state stands before them.“She should be hanged!” “Banish her!” Nixie rushes to my side and grabs my arm, pleading, “Baby, pl
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 31 : Her Behavior
ELIJAHMy eyes fall on her clothing, and my brows shoot up. She’s wearing a purple dress with long sleeves. That’s Rena’s dress. Why didn’t I notice this before?"Why are you wearing Rena’s dress?" I ask, frustration bristling in my voice. "I told you that I want Rena to keep them," I add, a little more firmly than intended, and she flinches. They were my gifts to Rena when she was my wife, and I wanted her to keep them.My preference in females was for those who wore light, pastel colors. They looked feminine to me. But only Rena’s body could rock a dark or muted colored dress, and I was drawn to the way she carried them. So I bought her this dark purple dress that, at first glance, looked basic. But when it clung to her curves, she looked like a goddess.Nixie pouts again and says, “She did not take them, so I decided, why let them go to waste? That’s why I wore them,” she smiles, but then frowns subtly, “Though it's a little tight.”I close my eyes briefly to calm the tide of frust
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 32 : Enemy
ELIJAH“Do you want me to continue or you’ll speak?” I ask in a dangerously low voice as I sit on a chair inside the dark cell room. A man whose face is smeared with blood is chained to the gray stone wall. A week has passed, and I was reported of a bomb blast that took place outside the borders. The attack was directed towards the pack military camp who protect the borders, but because of our prior preparations, no one was harmed. One member of Irene’s squad caught hold of the man who was a part of the attacking group, and we took him hostage. The rest are in hiding, so I am currently beating the shit out of this man to get him to give me the hiding spot of the rest of the members. But the man does not open his mouth, and stays silent. My jaw tightens at his ridiculous resolve. I crack my knuckles to give him another round of beating before we can introduce him to third-degree torture when my phone vibrates in my pockets. An unknown number flashes on the caller ID. Who could it be
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 33 : Poisoned
ELIJAHAn hour later, I am at the hospital where Nixie is admitted, waiting for the doctor. Dr. Smith walks out of the ward where Nixie is kept and approaches me with a serious face.“How is she?” I ask.“She’s conscious now. We found small amounts of poisonous Liomine herb in her blood. Usually, when ingested in such a small quantity, it does not harm the body of a shifter. But since Luna's body is recovering from the effects of wolfsbane, the herb’s effect was strong. If you had been an hour later, her situation would have turned critical,” Dr. Smith says, and I sigh in relief.I thank the doctor and get his permission to see her. Stepping inside the ward she is in, I find her in a blue hospital gown lying on the bed. Her arm is attached to an IV drip, with a clear tube snaking from a bag suspended above the bed to a needle inserted into her vein.She softly opens her eyes as I walk up to her and give her hand a light squeeze. She smiles at me weakly and whispers, “Looks like I’ll b
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 34 : The Moonlight Pack
VERENA"Verena, try this one!" Ruth says in excitement as she holds a scarlet evening gown in her hand. We are at a little boutique in the Moonlight Pack, shopping for a dress for me to wear to the exhibition.It has been two weeks since Carlisle and I both revealed our secrets, and I agreed to attend the exhibition with him. But I didn't expect him to travel to the Moonlight Pack one week before the exhibition."The Moonlight Pack has beautiful places to visit, so I want to show you around," that’s what Carlisle had said, gleaming with excitement. Honestly, he didn’t look that excited when he gave me a tour of the Mountain Cross Pack. But I understand why.My eyes shift to the floor-to-ceiling glass that spans one wall of the store, and I stare at the trees lining the street, the soft lavender-colored leaves swaying under the mild breeze. The sky is a blend of soft hues of pale turquoise and rose pink, the sun's rays casting a gentle glow on the street lined with small shops.The lan
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 35 : The Perfect Dress
VERENAMy body trembles as I slowly turn around to face him: Elijah.His dark eyes fixate on me, tracing every inch of my form as if he's mapping my body in his mind. His inky hair is sexily combed back, and the gray suit drapes elegantly over his muscular frame."Rena," he whispers my name gently, causing my heart to skip a beat. As he moves closer, the fabric molds to his body like a second skin, emphasizing the powerful lines of his broad shoulders and chiseled chest."No!" I say firmly as I back away from him, my back hitting the cold glass. This man rejected me, banished me, and yet my heart dances in excitement when I see him. I hate this mate bond.Elijah pulls out a green dress and holds it in front of me. "This will look good on you," he says, watching me with a gaze that sends goosebumps down my skin.I clench my fist and look straight at him. "Why are you here?" I ask. In the distance, I can hear Ruth engaged in a discussion with the manager, unaware of what's happening her
