Rejected Luna: He wants me back 56 : Little Pup
VERENAThe sterile room hums with tension that I feel in my bones. Each contraction feels like an organ tearing at my insides, the pain stealing my breath. My frantic gasps fill the air, which is vibrating with the murmurs of the medical staff around me.It has been seven months since I learned about my true identity and started living in the Moonlight pack. My dad has been extremely caring towards me and has left no stone unturned to make sure I am healthy while my belly grows. A part of me still can’t believe that I am the lost princess of the Moonlight pack. It feels like a dream, or a scene straight out of a movie.That’s why it's scary. Whenever good things happen, I fear that they’ll all be taken away from me. That fear has taken form in my mind at this moment in the operating room.A young nurse, barely past her twenties, holds my hand, her grip surprisingly firm. “Okay, Miss Verena. We need you to stay calm for the baby.”I squeeze her hand back, finding a sliver of comfort in
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 57 : A Father's Wish
ELIJAHPain rips through me with every step towards the maternity ward. Reaching Rena, my heart pounds as I find her sleeping peacefully. But there’s a figure in the attire of a nurse by the bassinet - Nixie. Her hand inches closer to my pup. "Don't you dare," I growl. She whirls around, eyes widening in shock. "You!" she snarls back, venom dripping from her voice.I knew she’d be here. I ignored the doctor’s recovery orders, shifted, and let Rolf run like hell to get here. Infiltration in the hospital was easy. I just put on a surgical mask, stole some doctor's coat. Thank the moons I made it in time. I stalk towards her, the coat billowing. Her face drains of color, mirroring the white coat. "Listen close," I hiss, voice low and dangerous. "We're leaving quietly. Any funny business, and I’ll kill you.” Nixie's glare is pure defiance, but she doesn't fight back when I grab her wrist and drag her towards the door. She knows I mean it. Warmth floods my chest as I glance at the peace
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 58 : Live
ELIJAHCarlisle's booming voice rattles the hallway. "Spill it, Donovan! Stealing the baby? Talk now, or—"A hacking cough explodes from my throat, a metallic spray painting the floor red. Carlisle's grip slackens, his blue eyes widening in shock. "What the hell? You okay?""Poison," I rasp, the world tilting on its axis. The harsh fluorescent lights blur into a swirling mess. Darkness creeps in at the edges, and the last thing I register is Carlisle's face morphing from rage to genuine concern. —--------------------The harsh smell of disinfectant stings my nose as I crack open an eye. White ceiling. I am definitely not waking up in my own bed. I groan, turning my head to find myself in a sterile hospital room – Moonlight Pack Hospital, to be precise.A man in his fifties with glasses perched on his nose appears beside the bed. Doctor, by the looks of the white coat. "Mr. Donovan? You alright?" he asks, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.Before I can croak out a reply,
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 59 : A Luna and A Mother
VERENAFour years later…The heavy oak doors groan open, shattering the orphanage's peace. A furious woman in her fifties storms in, her face twisted in rage. "What is this intrusion, Luna Verena?" she roars. "This is my orphanage, you can't just waltz in here!"I meet her gaze, my own turning icy. "Lower your voice, Warden Susan. I am the Luna of the Moonlight Pack." My voice booms with authority, silencing her. “I have received disturbing reports about the treatment of omega children in your care. Rumors of mistreatment and…worse.” Panic flickers in the warden's eyes, replacing her anger. "Lies!" she sputters, voice cracking. "I'd never hurt a single hair on their heads! I love them all dearly."My gaze darts to a young girl cowering behind me, her body shaking. She peeks nervously between me and the warden, the source of the whispers. “Apparently, this girl has a different story to tell,” I say, my voice softens for her. "Right, Mazie?"The girl flinches, but a spark of defiance ig
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 60 : Who sent the cure?
VERENAA wave of emotion crashes over me as I ruffle Ezra's black hair, the same shade as his eyes. He's his father's twin, and the resemblance clenches my heart. Elijah. No matter how much I fight it, the past clings to me, a constant reminder.Being Luna means endless events and pack politics. The biggest thorn in my side? Alliance proposals from the Iron Claw Pack, each one hand-written by Elijah himself. Each one gets a firm rejection. A few months back, our paths crossed at an event. He looked…different. We didn’t talk as an urgent matter demanded my attention. Drake, Dory, and Irene are still my closest friends. Yet, they don’t mention Elijah in our call conversations. It's like they're hiding something.Sometimes, I wonder if he’s alright. News reached me about a major battle with his brother, Theon, but that was years ago, when Ezra was just a baby. Back then, vivid dreams plagued me, dreams of Elijah begging for help."The Goddess gem fulfills prayers made with pure intention
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 61 : A Nagging Question
VERENAExcitement and anticipation thrum through me as I gaze into the mirror. My midnight blue hair cascades down my back in loose waves, the ends playfully curled.My dress is a deep forest green, flowing gracefully around my figure, highlighting my curves."Happy birthday, Mommy!" Ezra yells, bursting in and wrapping his arms around my legs. I beam at his adorable wish and crouch down to kiss his cheek."Thank you, sweetie.""I got something for you," he says, and I raise an eyebrow. A whirring sound catches my attention, and I watch the electronic robot Dad gifted him walk through the door. It stops before me."Cody, wish Momma," Ezra instructs the robot. Cody?The robot named Cody starts moving its hands and legs, almost like dancing, and sings a happy birthday song. Then it pauses and pulls out a rose from its belly, which slides open like a door. The robot raises the rose at me. "Happy birthday, Momma," it says in a robotic voice.My lips part in surprise, and I playfully raise
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 62 : Serena
VERENAI start to respond to Carlisle, but a tingling sensation erupts through my body, spreading like wildfire through my veins. The bouquet falls from my shaking hand. "I-I think it's happening," I gasp, my voice tight with anticipation.Heat pulses beneath my skin, making me sweat. It's not midnight yet, but I guess the wolf inside is ready to come out.Carlisle's voice cuts through the tension, "Rayn, she's shifting!"The hall falls silent. Dad rushes to us with Ezra. His calm voice reaches me. "You need to head to the courtyard. Now!""I'll take her!" Carlisle suggests.Dad shakes his head. "No. A celestial wolf goes through the process alone. It's our ritual.""Fine." I can feel the disappointment in his voice."Take care of Ezra. Make sure he doesn't stay close to the courtyard when I'm shifting," I tell Dad. I won't have any control over the process, and Ezra might get hurt if he stays close."Don't worry. Now go!" Dad yells."All the best, Mommy!" Ezra cheers from behind.I wa

VERENAMy heart explodes. Elijah. He's here.His dark eyes land on me. "Verena?" His deep voice cuts through the silent night. The moonlight falls on his chiseled face, highlighting the scar running down his left eye.Why is he here?"It's time for me to shift back," Serena says, her tone mischievous. "Your turn.""Wait, no!" I blurt out, fear jolting through me.But it's too late. Serena shifts back, and I'm left standing before Elijah. His gaze intensifies on me. The cold air hits my bare chest. I'm completely naked. Shame washes over me, my cheeks burning hot.His eyes rake over my curves, sending a shiver down my spine. I quickly cross my arms over my large breasts and cross my legs to cover myself. My dress must have been ripped by the sheer force of Serena's transformation. I should have gotten a more shift-resistant dress…and also undergarments.The forest is silent, with an occasional rustle of leaves or the distant hoot of an owl. Moonlight filters through the thick canopy of
