Rejected Luna: He wants me back 74 : Blood Transfusion
VERENAMy dad’s reaction is instantaneous. A guttural growl rips from his throat as he glares at Elijah. “Who the hell let you in here?” Hate burns in his eyes. He hates Elijah for everything he has done to me, and I didn’t get the time to explain anything to him. “Security! Throw him out!”I lunge forward. “Dad, wait! He can be the donor. He’s an Alpha. O negative, remember? We need to save Ezra first.”Dad’s face contorts, his emotions battling. He hates Elijah but also wants to save Ezra. “Fine,” he spits. “But you’ll give your blood and leave. Nothing more.” He warns.Elijah simply nods and walks with the medical staff to run some tests to check if his blood is compatible. Since our medical technology is top-notch, the tests don’t take much time, and they confirm that Elijah can donate his blood to Ezra.Relief floods me as they begin the transfusion process.I stand inside the ward, keeping my back pressed against the wall. A pressure cuff on Ezra’s upper arm inflates and deflate
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 75 : Stay With You
VERENAElijah’s face morphs into worry as he says, “Nixie’s body was replaced in the cemetery, so we believe she’s alive. Also, Theon’s body is missing.”My stomach coils into knots. “Did you learn this after our meeting at the fair?” I ask sternly.He shifts his gaze to the window through which the afternoon light filters in, painting his sharp face in an amber glow. He shakes his head slowly. I can hear his heart race. “I knew about this the night we met. The night you shifted.”Anger blazes inside me. My fist curls. “Why? Why didn’t you tell me this, Elijah?” I ask, glaring at him.Why does everyone keep hiding things from me?He looks back at me, his brow furrowing. “I believed I'd find Nixie soon. I was searching for her before I came to the fair,” he explains. So that’s why he was late. His face softens. “I didn’t expect things to escalate this far.” The sadness and guilt are clear in his voice.But that’s not enough to reduce my anger.I keep my voice low so that Ezra isn’t dist
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 76 : The Snowman's Heart
VERENAElijah lifts his gaze at me. “Can I stay?” There’s that longing in his eyes that I can’t miss.A heavy sigh leaves my lips. “Alright.” It's true that I am angry at Elijah. But I can’t let that get in between him and Ezra. “He can stay.”Ezra beams with happiness. “Yay.” His voice is still a little hoarse, but he looks much better.I slowly feed him and once he’s fed, I wipe his mouth with the wet tissue. Ezra has a sad look on his face as he asks, “Mommy, when will we go back home?”My heart clenches at his words. He has no idea of the silver marks on his face, no idea what he went through. I ruffle his head while plastering a smile on my face. “Soon, sweetie.” I assure him, but it all depends on his condition. I can only pray right now for him to get better so the hospital releases him.Ezra nods while laying down on the bed. I tuck him under the sheets. “I don’t like sleeping here.” He pouts. My heart breaks on seeing him so sad.“How about I tell you a bedtime story?” Elijah
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 77 : Cute To Tease
ELIJAHI yank Verena by her wrist, and she muffles a gasp as she falls on my chest. When she looks up, her green eyes glare at me through the darkness of the room. “You—” she whispers.“Wanted to sleep with me so badly? You could have said so.” I tease with the edge of my lips lifting in a smirk. But my mind is elsewhere, focused on her soft breasts pressing on my waist, not very far from my pants.I want to play with them, but I keep that thought to myself.Rena’s eyes shoot daggers at me. “I have no intention of sleeping with you. I came here to give you the pillow.” She points at the white pillow that’s on the floor now.“Oh really? Then why is your heart racing?” I ask seductively and enjoy the soft red hue on her cheeks as she blushes. So cute.“I—I am not.” She denies, her voice betraying her intentions.I slowly snake my arms over her waist, making her gasp. My fingers run down her curves. “How about now? Hmm. I smell something…maybe that’s you getting wet—”“Shut up!” She yell
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 78 : Fear Love
VERENAHis sudden question shocks me. Nixie. Have I seen her before anywhere?“No, I don’t think so. If I did, I can’t remember,” I reply.Elijah hums in thought. “I see. Nixie seems to have a strange obsession with you. She wears your clothes and uses your perfume.”My brows shoot up. “She does?” That’s news to me.“Mhmm. When I confront her about it, she flies off the handle and her goody-two-shoes facade breaks,” he adds while his brow furrows.Well, she does act like a goody-two-shoes to fool people. Now that he said it, I remember Nixie wearing my black dress at the exhibition four years ago. I didn’t make much out of it back then, just considered it to be another one of her annoying tactics.But now it makes sense! It looks like she is trying to copy me.“Why do you think she’s doing all this?” I ask.Elijah sighs while his eyes look into the distance. “I speculate that she and you have some kind of connection. Maybe she has met you before and you don’t remember?”I purse my lips
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 79 : Marry Him
VERENAMy heart sinks in my chest. He left.Well, it isn’t like I was expecting him to stay. He has a pack to run.But…I release a heavy sigh. His presence kept me calm. Now I feel a little…empty.My phone vibrates, so I turn on the screen, and my heart skips a beat when I see Elijah’s name flash. He has sent a message.I quickly press the message to open it.‘Good morning. Sorry, I had to leave early. Some work has come up at the pack. Didn’t want to wake you up.’ it reads.Another message pops through the silence, making my heart leap in my throat. It's Elijah again.‘Thank you for letting me stay. I’ll update you if we find any leads on Nixie.’Another message.‘Looking forward to seeing you and Ezra again.’My lips tug in a smile. His messages spread warmth through my body. He tried to add an emoji, but he sucks at it.I put the phone back and get up to check on Ezra.Some hours later, the hospital releases Ezra since Elijah’s blood has worked, and Dr. Walker confirms that his con
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 80 : Acceptance
VERENA Carlisle hasn’t responded to my calls or texts yet. I don’t know what he is thinking, but it kind of pisses me off to see that he hasn’t even responded to the messages where I informed him about Ezra.He can be angry with me, but at least he should care about Ezra. He didn’t ask about Ezra once.Dad continues with his proposal. “You and Carlisle have known each other well for quite some time now. Ezra is comfortable with him. Also, he’s an Alpha. Both your packs can be joined and ruled together.”My jaw tightens at his words. “Dad, are you trying to say that I can’t rule the pack well?”Dad waves his hand. “Never. I wouldn’t have handed you the pack if I didn’t trust your abilities. But how long are you going to remain single? I am not only worried for Ezra, but also for you. I won’t be here forever, so knowing that you have someone to take care of you will give me some relief.” He places a hand on his chest.I resist the urge to roll my eyes. Parents and their emotional black
Rejected Luna: He wants me back 81 : Tragedy
VERENAMy lips part in shock. “What?!”Norton nods. “Though, it would be wrong to say that they were killed. More like they died all of a sudden. But Alpha Nova phrased it as being ‘killed,’ so I mentioned that.” He explains, and my heart thumps against my ribs.“Thank you, Norton,” I say and close the file. “Inform me if you find a witch who can lift the curse.” My tone is stern.He bows his head. “Absolutely, Luna.” Saying that, he leaves Ezra’s room.I blow some air through my mouth. The Nova family died all of a sudden?An hour later, I dial a number while sitting in my office. The call rings thrice before someone answers it.“Luna Verena?” A male voice calls my name through the receiver’s end.“Alpha Nova,” I respond in a calm voice.“Ah, so you finally called. I was expecting it,” he says.“Then you must know the reason for my sudden call,” I say politely.The call goes silent for a few seconds.Then his voice comes again. “Yes, I know. It's regarding those glasses. How did you
