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
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 70 : Revelations
VERENAElijah curses under his breath as if he said something he should not have.My worry spikes. “What happened to you, Elijah?” I ask.He hesitates, then pulls off his overcoat and rolls his shirt sleeves. Faint black burn marks appear on his forearm. They are subtle, almost faded under the afternoon light, but I recognize them instantly.My breath catches in my throat. “Those…” My voice is barely above a whisper. “You were poisoned?” It's more like a confirmation than a question. The black marks are a sign that he was poisoned by the same toxin that affected Dad’s wolf.Elijah fixes his sleeve and sighs. “I was poisoned by Nixie that day. I would have endured it better if not for the war I had with Theon. My body was already weak, so the effect of the poison was strong.” He turns his head and looks into the space, his eyes wandering into the distance.My chest tightens at his words. If he faced a war, then his body wouldn’t have stood a chance against that deadly poison. I remembe
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 71 : Confrontation
VERENAShock morphs his handsome face. “No, of course not.”“There’s a difference, Elijah, between protecting someone and keeping them in the dark,” I explain, my voice regaining its calm. “I understand your fear, but a relationship is built on trust and communication. We support each other, share burdens, face the world together. Not fight our battles alone because we think the other person can’t handle it.”His gaze softens, a flicker of understanding in his eyes. “I understand, and I am sorry,” he says, his emotions true. “Do you forgive me, Rena?”The anger still simmers within me. “No, Elijah,” I say, my voice firm. “I don’t forgive you for not even trying to communicate with me before.”His broad shoulders slump, sadness clouding his eyes. It's a look I don’t enjoy seeing, but it's a necessary step.“But,” I continue, making his attention shift back to me, “I do forgive you for doing what you did for us.” My voice softens, and a wave of guilt washes over me. “I am sorry for how I
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 72 : Friends No More
VERENACarlisle averts his gaze. “So he told you everything,” he says in a low voice.“Why did you lie to me?” I ask, feeling a little betrayed by him. “Elijah was dying, and I had no idea.” Guilt gnaws at me, a heavy weight in my chest.He runs a hand through his blonde hair, frustration creasing his forehead. “I didn’t trust his motives. For all I knew, he could have orchestrated the whole thing with Nixie, some elaborate plan to win you back. How can you trust a word out of his mouth?”Anger bubbles within me. “He had the same burn marks on his hand, Carlisle, the ones dad had. He was the one who sent the cure. Dad is alive because of Elijah’s sacrifice.”It makes me happy knowing that Elijah went out of his way to protect my dad. It shows that he really cares for me. The thought warms my heart.Carlisle’s eyes turn wide in shock. “I–I didn’t know that.” He looks at his glass. “The doctor did talk about him needing to find a witch, but I felt like he had put the poison in him delibe
