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
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 63 : Mate, again?
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
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 64 : Proud
ELIJAH"Carlisle handled Nixie?" My voice is laced with confusion. "When?"Rena looks at me, her confidence unwavering."Is that what he told you?" I ask. That bastard. He lied.Rena frowns. "Doesn't matter what he told me." She sighs, looking down. "Why am I even wasting my time talking to you?" she mumbles, turning to leave. “Goodbye, Alpha Elijah.” I grab her wrist. "Rena, wait. There's something I need to talk to you about."Her back stiffens, and she slowly looks back. Her long hair cascades down my jacket, her floral scent making me hard. I fight the urge to pull her close and kiss her senseless. After motherhood, she's gotten sexier. "Let go," she says sternly. I realize I'm still holding her wrist. I reluctantly release it, watching her turn fully towards me. Her green eyes, hidden under those long lashes, blaze with rage. "I don't have time for this, Alpha Elijah." Her voice is calm, despite the fire in her eyes. "I have a pack to run."The corner of my mouth lifts. "I know.
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 65 : Missing Bodies
ELIJAH“What?!”Theon’s body is missing?I glance at the forest, searching for Rena. But she’s gone. A sigh escapes my lips. She won’t believe anything I say now. It’s my fault. I couldn’t tell her the truth all these years. But will she ever forgive me? I doubt it.I turn back to Joshua. “How is that possible? He was executed right before our eyes. We even buried him.”A lot has happened in these four years. Theon tried to escape prison, killing some of my men with a hidden weapon. Then he went after the twins, Drake and Dory. But I protected them. They’re safe now.I had no choice but to execute my brother for his crimes. He was poisoned with wolfsbane, then buried in the pack’s cemetery. Despite being my enemy, I gave him a proper funeral.Joshua’s voice cuts through my thoughts. “One of the cemetery guards saw it, Elijah. Theon’s tomb was dug up, his coffin empty.”Worry knots in my stomach. “Start an investigation immediately,” I order. “Search the entire pack for his body.”He n
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 66 : Beg Her?
ELIJAHMy fingers trace the jagged scar above my left eye, a constant reminder of the price I paid for the cure. When I demanded an extra cure, the witch demanded a favor in exchange. The thought of what Rena would have to go through if Rayn died made me accept her demand. The cure had a substance in it that made Rolf stronger than before, so I was confident I could handle anything.For three years, I ran errands for her. The cure was hard to obtain, so the price was heavy. It was like selling my soul to the devil.Her errands weren't simple. I had to face the Ashwalkers. They wouldn't die, no matter what you did.Fear prickles my skin as the memory resurfaces. The fight was brutal, two of them against me. I won, but only barely. They are dangerous creatures.That's why I warned Rena. The witch had said there were more, and they would soon attack all werewolves.Fulfilling the contract meant staying in the hills with the witch, away from everything. On top of that, I had my pack to run
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 67 : Ezra
ELIJAHI settle onto the bench beside the tree, stealing a glance at the book nestled in his lap. Harry Potter. Perfect."Who's your favorite character?" I ask, trying to sound casual.He glances up, his dark eyes meeting mine for a fleeting moment before diving back into the book. Well, that's not surprising. He doesn't know me, after all. I’m just another stranger."I like Dumbledore," I blurt out, hoping to spark a conversation. Not my most smooth move. I am going to fail today. "Me too," his tiny voice mumbles, eyes glued to the page. A smile tugs at my lips. There's hope yet.My gaze drifts towards the other kids, their joyful shrieks echoing across the playground. They seem so carefree."Why aren't you playing with them?" the question slips out before I can stop it.He lifts his head, a flicker of sadness crossing his features – a pang shoots through my chest. That look... I know it all too well.He doesn't fit in. Just like I never did.I need to do something to distract him.
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 68 : A Father's Presence
VERENAEzra bounces on his toes, his tiny hand clutched tightly in mine. "Mommy, carousel!" he exclaims, pointing excitedly at the brightly painted horses circling on the left."Let's go!" I reply, leading him towards the ride. The Moonstone Fair bustles with activity. Colorful awnings stretch across the open sky, families wander by with shopping bags in hand, and the air is thick with the delicious smells of popcorn, waffles, and fresh pastries.Ezra throws me a hopeful look. "You ride with me?"I give him an apologetic smile. "Sorry, sweetie, the carousel is just for kids." His lower lip wobbles into a pout. "But hey," I add quickly, "Mommy will take pictures from here. You can show them to Grandpa, right?"His face lights up. "Yeah! And I'll wear my star glasses!" He pops on the bright red, star-shaped glasses we just bought from a nearby booth.I watch as Ezra climbs onto a majestic-looking horse. Maria chuckles beside me. "He's such a happy kid. One minute he's acting all grown-up
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 69 : Mr. Snowman Needs To Explain A Lot
VERENAElijah helps Ezra take aim, and strangely, Ezra lets him. They target the rabbit jumping on the screen, similar to my heart that races. He’s here.“Focus. Now shoot,” Elijah encourages him. Ezra lands two more shots and wins the game.The owner smiles at Ezra as he hands him the snow globe. “Good job, boy. Your dad came at the right time.”My heart skips a beat at the shopkeeper's words. Elijah really looked like a father helping his son win the game.Elijah’s gaze shifts towards me, his deep eyes scrutinizing me. The long black overcoat he wears over his black shirt outlines his broad shoulders, and his face looks more chiseled and defined. And the scar running down his left eye—I don’t know how he got it, but it somehow makes him look even hotter.“Mommy! I won!” Ezra jumps and shows me the snow globe. “Did you see how I shot down that last rabbit? Pow! Pow!” He mimics a gun with his free hand, and I chuckle.“How could I miss it? My Ezzie is a great shooter.” I ruffle his hai
