Victor POV

Damon and I stand in the wreckage of Elana’s apartment, glaring into each other’s eyes. I hate him more than I could ever describe, but it isn’t because he was the last to see our father alive. No, it is because he holds Elana’s heart in a way that I never could. She may deny that she loves him, but I can see beneath her exterior. She loves him, even if she is too stubborn to admit it.

“I’m leaving,” I snarl.

Damon settles onto the broken couch and gestures toward the door. “She won’t choose you. Not after everything you have done. Let her go.”

His words cut deep, but I pretend like I don’t care. “Enjoy my sloppy seconds.”

He growls as I leave the apartment, but I don’t stick around to hear what he has to say. If I do, I might do something stupid.

I smell Lara before I see her. That sickly-sweet perfume she drenches herself in still clings to the night air, sharp enough to burn my throat.

I stalk toward the parking lot, my wolf snarling beneath my skin, restle

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 59

    Elana POVBoxes cover every surface of the apartment, stacked like barricades against the walls and windows. Clothes spill from open suitcases, and Gabby’s stuffed wolf sits on top of one, its glass eyes staring at me like it knows the mistake I am making. “Don’t look at me that way,” I hiss at the stuffed animal. “We can’t stay here.” I look at it, almost expecting it to respond. Victor had it made for Gabby on her first birthday. It looks just like his wolf, Axel, with jet black fur and a singular white paw. I chuckle at myself for thinking that it might respond and return to the task at hand. I shove another stack of books into a box, ignoring the tremor in my hands. The TV hums low in the background. The news coverage is about some incident at the hospital, but I don’t bother to listen too closely. All I can think about is getting us out before the wedding, before my life completely collapses. I know I will have to face Victor one more time before I leave. We ha

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 58

    Victor POVI stride into the hospital, my boots echoing down the polished hallways as nurses scramble out of my way. My Alpha aura is rolling off my skin in waves, causing the scent of fear to roll off anyone who encounters me. No one dares to stop me or slow me down; I am on a mission.I reach the records desk and attempt to school my anger. “I need the DNA test results,” I growl. “Now.” The receptionist blinks. She is flustered. Torn between doing her job and obeying her Alpha. “Alpha Victor. Those are confidential. You have already been sent a copy of what we could provide you.” “These are my children,” I growl. “Supposedly. Give me the full copies. I want to see everything.”The receptionist meets my gaze for a second before scrambling to her feet. She disappears into an office, and I hear the sound of a printer behind the door. She doesn’t return; instead, a nurse appears from the doorway with a manila envelope sealed with the hospital’s crest. Her hands tremble a

    Elana POVI walk up the gravel path toward the pack house with my arms wrapped around myself. The move date is planned. I am moving out of the Midsummer Pack on the same day that Victor will bind himself to Lara. When the invitation came by courier, I promptly ripped it in two. I would rather walk across hot coals than see them bind themselves together. The pack house looms over me. I can be in and out. Just like I planned, I find Victor, reject him, and then leave. This time, I will initiate the rejection. I can’t leave anything to error. I need to break this bond, once and for all. My feet slow to a stop when I see Damon step onto the porch. His shirt sleeves are rolled up, and his fists are clenched together in rage. He rubs the back of his neck before shoving his hands into his pockets. His eyes scan the grounds like he is making sure no one is watching him leave. “What are you doing here?” I call out to him before I can stop myself. He looks up quickly, but doesn’

    Damon POVTwo days later, the bruises from the fight with Max are fading, but the ache in my chest hasn’t gone anywhere. Elana won’t take my calls, and I am running out of ideas to keep her here. Now, I am standing in front of the pack house looking up at the large columns that line the entrance. This place used to be my home. Victor didn’t always hate me. In fact, we were close. I can still hear the echoes of our laughter as we ran up and down the halls, causing all sorts of mischief. I looked up to him just like I did my father. It killed me to leave the pack, to leave all of this behind. Most of all, it pained me to leave Elana behind. I thought that in time she would grow to recognize the bond between us and demand for my return. She never did. I kept my number the same all of those years, and she never called me once. I can’t count the number of times my fingers hovered over her number, waiting to reach out to her, but I never did. Telling myself to just let it go.

    Elana POVWhen I return to the ballroom, everyone turns to look at me. The weight of their eyes on my skin makes it feel like the walls of the ballroom are closing in on me. Their whispers are like needles in my ears, sending a shiver up my spine. Max leans in closer, his voice low. “You’ve made your point,” he whispers into my ear. “Let’s go before they burn you at the stake.”I nod stiffly. “Yeah. Let’s go.”We move through the crowd, all eyes following us as we head toward the doors. Max’s presence cuts a path; no one dares stop him, though I can feel the hostility rolling off the pack like heat.Max is right. If I stay here a moment longer, they might try to kill me. Even though I am sure many of them haven’t witnessed this much drama in years. Not since the old Alpha married his mistress soon after the death of his Luna. The cool night air slams into my chest when we step outside. I breathe in, gasping at the air, trying to calm the storm raging beneath my skin. The car

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 54

    Elana POVI slip out of the ballroom, tearing myself away from Alpha Max. His arm was wrapped so tightly around my waist that I didn’t think I would be able to break free. I feigned needing the restroom, and he finally relented, disappearing in the direction of the bar.No one stops me as I slip out of the rear exit. I can feel their eyes tracking me as I go, whispers following me, discussing the drama I have created here tonight. My head feels heavy, and my lungs feel tight. I push through the door, letting out a grateful sigh as the light and noise of the ballroom fade behind me. I press a hand to my chest, leaning against the wall. Damon was right.This isn’t me.The dress, my date, the very public confrontation. I told myself it was about regaining my power. Giving myself a way to be in control of my life that is spiraling horrifically out of my reach. But now that I am standing here in the wake of my performance, it feels gross. Like a mask that is too heavy to keep we
