Melanie's POV

“Definitely crazy,” Selene muttered beside me as she tore her gaze away from him.

I did the same, nudging her shoulder lightly before we headed toward Ethan.

One of the kids tossed a red ball a little too hard, and it rolled across the ground, only to be stopped by a stubborn blade of mowed grass.

I bent down, picked it up, and handed it back to the boy. “Alright, playtime’s over, little warriors. Go home. Come back tomorrow.”

They scattered immediately, like someone pressed a secret button that activated their ‘run’ mode.

Ethan let out a low grumble, looking straight at me, “They were enjoying themselves. Why did you have to send them off?”

“You’re welcome,” I shot back without missing a beat.

He rolled his eyes and rose to his feet, dusting off his pants.But instead of responding to me, his attention shifted past my shoulder, directly toward Selene.

I didn’t even bother rolling my eyes this time.

“I see you're done in the kitchen now.” he said, though I know he was mo

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 90: Danger is coming

    Maelis POV“Maelis!”Anna screamed at the top of her little voice as she rushed inside the room. She jumped on me almost immediately, cooing like she was going to melt right into my arms.I couldn't help but pull the little one closer despite myself. The warmth of her small body was grounding.She clung to me for a while, just breathing, before she pulled away, looking up at me with big, worried eyes.“Are you sick?” she asked, tilting her head. “Daddy said you're not feeling fine and wouldn't let me come see you.”“Your daddy?” I asked. That was the only word that rang in my ears and really mattered right then.“Yes. Daddy.” She pouted, sparing a glance at Melanie, then turned back to me, whispering loudly, “Do you have a new friend now?”A new friend? I suppressed a smile and ruffled her hair. “This is Melanie, and yes, she is my friend. However, she is not a new friend. We've known each other since we were this…” I demonstrated with my hand, lowering it to knee height. “Little.”S

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 89: Going to look for him

    Maelis POV I woke up feeling heavy, like my brain was stuffed with cotton. I was dizzy as I tried to push myself up on the bed, but a sharp discomfort between my legs made me wince out loud before I could stop myself.What the...I was just about to curse, but then the flashes started hitting me. The mist, the feel of Ryan’s hand on mine, the darkness and the fright of my situation.Oh my God. Did he??Panic seized my chest, clearing the fog instantly. I sat up, heart hammering against my ribs. But before I could spiral, I felt a warm hand wrap around my wrist.“Calm down, Sel. It’s okay.” I knew that voice and it somehow grounded me in the chaos as I looked over.“Melanie?” I called out in disbelief. “What are you doing here?”My voice sounded uncharacteristically hoarse, like I’d been screaming.I hope this isn't what I’m thinking. Did she come looking for me? Has she been caught too?I took a quick, frantic glance around but this didn't look like the dark warehouse. Where is thi

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 88: it' hurts

    Melanie's POV When we reached the door to the medical suite, Lucian stopped with his hand hovering over the handle.Even if it was just for a moment.I saw it then. Not the Alpha. Not the cold bastard who broke Selene’s heart.A man who was terrified.“If she wakes up and says no,” I said quietly behind him, because someone had to say it out loud, “you walk away.”His fingers curled into a fist.“Yes.”“And if she doesn’t wake up at all…”He closed his eyes.“Then I’ll live with that,” he said hoarsely. “Or die with her. I promise she's never going to be lonely anymore.”That was the moment I knew there was no stopping this anymore.Lucian opened the door and he entered, followed by me, though Ethan didn’t come inside.He stayed outside the suite, his back pressed flat against the wall beside the door, head bowed, fists clenched so tight his knuckles had gone white, though his face was turned away to hide the moisture in his eyes.Lucian twisted the knob then and he entered, Though

    Melanie’s POVEthan was restless throughout the ride back to the Moonflower pack house. He was vibrating with tension, but at least I was grateful he was more stable than the person I saw back in that already trashed room a few hours back, sniffing fruitlessly and breaking everything in his path.But I couldn't just stand back and do nothing. That was the reason we drove here, unbeknownst to me that Selene had miraculously been found.At least Lucian was useful for once in his entire life.****I left the cell with my feelings all over the place. I could kill that guy right then and there for hurting Selene, but I know acting rashly might just be the last thing I'll need right now. For her sake.I walked back to the house, leaving Lucian to catch up with me.Ethan was waiting in the house now, though he stood unmoving as we walked closer to him.“So... what happened now?” he asked, his full attention was on me, as if the other person didn't even exist.I swallowed hard, trying not to

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 86: She's Crazy

    Lucian’s POV “What plans are you talking about? Who’s coming?” Ryan just tilted his head, his smile widening into a predatory grin. “Don't be impatient, dear brother,” he drawled, enjoying my discomfort. “It’s coming. It’s even closer than it ever was, so you won’t be curious for long.” “He’s probably bluffing, Alpha, trying to get your attention away,” Kellan muttered, his hand still clamped tightly on my arm. “Ask him about Selene.” Kellan was right. That was why I was here in the first place, and this manipulative son of a bitch had played a good game diverting my attention. I wanted to break the bars into pieces and drag him out of that cell, smash his head against the stone wall until he couldn’t smile anymore. But I knew I had to calm myself down if I was going to get any information out of his mouth. I took a deep, shaky breath. “What did you do to her?” I asked, my voice dangerously level. “How should I know?” He was lying. I could smell the faint scent of satisfact

  • Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha   Chapter 85: Aphrodisiac

    Lucian POV Her body arched suddenly beneath my touch.It wasn’t much. Just a slight movement. But it was enough to send a jolt straight through me.Her lashes fluttered weakly. Her eyes, glassy and unfocused, like she was fighting through thick fog. Her lips trembled before another soft sound slipped out of her throat.Her fingers curled into the sheets, knuckles whitening as if she was holding herself back from something. “Sel...” I was just about to hold her when the doctor came in fast, breathing like he had run the entire hallway.“What happened ?” I looked up at him, “She’s burning hot.”He stepped closer and pressed two fingers to her wrist, then her neck.“This is more than normal hotness” he muttered with a frown, looking at her dazed eyes, then he removed his stethoscope from his neck and placed it against her chest, “Too fast.” he muttered as he listened.“What is that supposed to mean?” I questioned impatiently.“It's very abnormal for a heart to be beating this fast, un
