Rejected Luna: He wants me back 47 : The Gem
VERENABefore the guns can be fired, Elijah disarms them and knocks them to the ground. He weaves through the attackers like a winter wind, his movements a blur of white. He deflects a blow from one with a flick of his wrist, using the attacker’s own force to send him sprawling. As the men crumble under his powerful attacks, Elijah stands straight, the moonlight highlighting his muscular frame. A frustrated groan escapes my lips as I watch. Why him? “Rena, are you hurt?” his deep voice cuts through the chaos. "No need to worry about me," I scoff, beating the two men holding my arms captive unconscious with one attack. It irritates me to know that he's the one to save me. He didn't need to jump in. I could have handled it. I did it for so long, without him.But the words die in my throat as his gaze meets mine. It's that look he has, the one that sends shivers down my spine. Calm, composed on the surface, but with an underlying intensity that speaks volumes of his anger. This isn't
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 48 : The True Heir
VERENAAlpha Valentino stares at me, jaw on the floor. "How?" he stammers, taking a shaky step closer. He leans in, voice gruff. "You said your name is Verena?" He stops, eyes darting down like he's missing something.Before I can figure it out, he's crushing me in a hug. His voice, shaky with a ton of emotions, rumbles in my ear. "Verena! My daughter, Verena! You're finally home!""What?!" Carlisle yells, eyes wide like saucers as he stares at me. Elijah stays quiet, but his face is pale with shock.What is he talking about? Tears fall down Alpha Valentino's face as he holds me like a statue. The whole world feels like it's spinning."Now I get it!" the Alpha yells, his voice suddenly clear. "That's why you look so much like Charlotte! You have her face!"Cyrus smirks and nods. "Yeah, the resemblance... that's why I felt like I knew you from somewhere. It all makes sense now."Alpha Valentino lets go of me gently, his hands shaking as he cups my face. A giant smile, mixed with disbel
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 49 : His Apology
ELIJAHMy brain feels like mush on hearing what Rayn just said. Rena, the quiet girl I thought was just a human orphan, turns out to be Alpha Valentino's daughter, a powerful she-wolf no less! But that news fades next to the knot twisting in my gut. I never had an issue with what her rank was. But there is one thing I need to confirm. I can't hold it in any longer. "If Verena's the true heir," I fire at Rayn, heart hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs, "why doesn't she have a wolf yet?"Rayn looks calm as he answers smoothly. "Our family's shifters are special. The wolves we have are blessed by the Goddess, giving us unique powers. We don't shift like regular werewolves. For Valentino bloodlines, the shift usually happens after the age of twenty, sometimes even thirty. It all depends on the kind of wolf waiting to come out of us."A cold dread washes over me. My body stiffens, every muscle locked tight with worry. I force out the next question, voice barely a whisper. "What ar
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 50 : Voice
ELIJAHMy muscles scream in protest as Rayn approaches. Will he banish me? Or maybe warn me to stay away from Rena?He claps me on the shoulder, a relieved grin splitting his face. "Thanks for looking out for Verena, Elijah." He glances between me and Carlisle. "Both of you saved her life." His brow furrows as he mutters to himself, "Why would anyone want to hurt her? I'll get to the bottom of this."Relief washes over me, but Rayn's cheerful demeanor twists the guilt in my gut. "I don't deserve your thanks, Rayn," I mumble, voice heavy. His frown deepens. I take a step back and bow respectfully. "My apologies for everything. Thank you for inviting me. The Moonlight Pack can always count on me for help."Rayn blinks, confusion swirling in his green eyes, the same color as Rena's. "Uh, but—" I cut him off, striding out into the cool night. The day he learns the truth, his hatred will be swift and unforgiving."Hey you!" That skunk, Carlisle, stops me cold with a yell. "Playing the remo
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 51 : Her Real Face
ELIJAH“Two attacks on Rena. One at the exhibition, the other at the Mountain Cross Pack train station. Both are connected since the assassins tried to hurt her belly.” I say as I stare out the window, the sun disappearing behind a thick layer of gray clouds, mirroring the storm brewing inside me. Since leaving the Moonlight Pack, I haven't slept, haven't stopped digging for answers. My only hope was the Silver Club, a secret network reserved for elite Alphas. It is run by the High Council and the Alpha king. It took years to gain access, years to prove myself worthy. All that hardwork has paid off as now I can gain all the information from the Club network. There’s no information the Silver Club does not have. "Couldn't this investigation wait for the office?" Joshua asks from the couch, his eyes glued to the data I meticulously gathered."I needed to fake sickness to fool a certain someone," I reply, my voice tight. Joshua understands. "Man," he chuckles, "you almost had me conv
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 52 : Theon's Threat
ELIJAH"You're working with Theon and he’s after the pack, that much is clear," I say, locking eyes with Nixie. Her gaze narrows, guarded. "But Rena left the Iron Claw Pack. Why target her?"Nixie feigns disinterest, casually inspecting her nails. "Theon's the one after the pack. My motives are different."My breath catches. Is this about more than just the pack? Is Nixie after Rena specifically?"Rena's been your target all along, hasn't she?" I voice the suspicion that dawns on me, my tone laced with realization.The smirk that spreads across Nixie's face is purely evil. "Took you long enough, Alpha. You and your precious pack never interested me. Verena, however..." Her voice trails off, replaced by a venomous glint in her eyes that burns with pure hatred. "Explain yourself! Why are you after Rena?!" I roar, fury coursing through me. Rena's not the type to make enemies. She's always been driven, focused on her work, a peacemaker at heart.Nixie's eyes darken, an emotion I can't dec
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 53 : Visiting The Alpha King
ELIJAHA flash of movement catches my eye, and I whip my head left to see Sophia, Irene's wolf, running beside me. Her dark charcoal fur stands out against the green backdrop of the forest. "Thought you might need a little back-up," Irene's voice rings clearly through the mind-link.Joshua's voice joins in, overriding Irene's. "We're here to protect our Luna too." I glance at Maxwell on my right, racing alongside us. Their concern for Rena warms me – she truly has a way of drawing people in with her kindness."Alright then," I say, resolve hardening in my chest. "Let's go kick some ass."With our enhanced wolf speed, we cover miles in a short time. The sound of our pounding paws echoes through the trees as we near the Moonlight Pack territory.An hour later, I stare down at the scene before me – ten bodies lie unmoving on the forest floor, faces contorted with blood. Theon wasn't bluffing. He had ten men positioned near the Moonlight Pack border, hidden and waiting for a chance to st
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 54 : Disrespect
ELIJAH"My apologies, General!" the guard mutters, baring his neck in a brief gesture of surrender. He turns to me with a look of annoyance,“You may enter.” There is no sincerity in his voice. His annoyed glare lingers as he steps aside.I return the glare with a smirk and walk past the gates. Seconds later, Cyrus leads me down the silent castle hallway. Our shoes click rhythmically against the polished concrete floor. The walls, adorned with panels of dark, striated marble at intervals, hint at the castle's modern renovation despite its historical reminders. Every few paces, a sculpture of a ferocious beast – sharp canines, long nails – stands as a stony reflection of the royal bloodline. Our ancestors. This is only my second time here. The first was for a royal party the King threw to celebrate his birthday. "Apologies for Nile's behavior," Cyrus says over his shoulder, his voice lacking sincerity. "He's new and unfamiliar with protocol." There's no way a royal guard wouldn't be
