Elana POV

The drive back to the pack house feels like it stretches forever. Damon sits in the passenger seat with his shoulders hunched and his hospital bracelet still looped around his wrist. I watch from the corner of my eye as his eyes flick from the road to his hands, then to the trees blurring past the window. He looks at everything as if it is strange and new.

Gabby sits in the back seat, leaning forward as far as her car seat will let her. Her eyes are locked on Damon. She hasn’t said a word the entire drive, but her small fingers clutch a tiny piece of fabric like a lifeline. A remnant of Damon’s shirt from the night of the attack. She hasn’t let it go since.

“Almost home,” I murmur, trying to sound steady.

Damon glances at me, and then over his shoulder at Gabby. “Home,” he repeats. He wrinkles his nose, like the word tastes funny on his tongue.

The pack house looms ahead, larger than ever. The tattered banners from the rogue attack still fly, a reminder of what we

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 87

    Elana POVThe kitchen feels bigger without Victor. The morning sunlight glints off the counters, bright and normal, as if the last three days never happened. But Damon and I both know better. My skin still carries the echo of his hands. Lucy hums, restless, still demanding that I mark Damon to complete the bond. My hands shake at the thought as I try to pour cereal for Gabby.Damon stands by the coffee maker, hair still damp from his shower, eyes flicking to me like he’s trying to read a new map. The silence between us feels strange, not hostile, just thick with the weight of what we can’t explain.The three of us didn’t discuss how to explain things to Gabby. That was a mistake on our part, and now that the decision is glaring us in the face, I don’t know how to handle it.“Gabby,” I begin carefully, setting her bowl on the table. “There’s something we should talk about.”Her little legs swing under the chair as she spoons cereal into her mouth. “Mm?”Milk drips from her chin, and

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 86

    Elana POVThe world outside the bedroom has disappeared.Somewhere beyond the curtains, phones buzz, warriors train, the pack still runs. But in here, the air is heavy with heat, skin, and the scent of our arousal tangled together. The days blur. Morning slides into night and back again. Each time I think I’ve slipped free, hands catch me, dragging me back into the bed. Damon’s laugh against my throat, Victor’s low growl in my ear, and I’m pulled back between them, into the tangle of sheets and arms.Three days. Maybe four. I’ve lost count. Alexis is caring for Gabby, and Beta Justin is running the pack. If anyone cares that we have secluded ourselves, they haven’t said anything.We’ve barely eaten. A tray appears once or twice, forgotten on the dresser. My hair is a rat's nest, and my voice a whisper. Every time I stand, one of them pulls me down, and I let them. I stay lost in the storm that only we seem to understand.But now reality is creeping under the door.Victor sits at t

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 85

    Elana POVDamon’s room smells of sweat and sex. There is no way Victor won’t know what we have been up to. Damon is sprawled on his back, with one arm under his head. The other is curled around my shoulders, as I try to disappear from the earth.Victor stands just inside the doorway. His eyes flicking from Damon to me. His jaw flexes, and his hands curl into fists, but he doesn’t leave. His gaze pins me, the Damon, like he’s trying to make a decision. Damon sits up slowly and unapologetically. His hand slides down my back, pushing the blankets down my skin to reveal my naked body. He is either staking his claim or making an invitation. “You’re late,” he says evenly. Victor shuts the door behind him, the sound soft but final. His eyes are still burning into my flesh, but he doesn’t look angry. “I didn’t mean to interrupt.” His voice trails off. “I was looking for Elana; I am getting ready to leave.” My pulse rises. “I thought you were leaving in the morning.” Victor sm

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 84

    Damon POVMy hands feel rough against her skin, but I can’t stop touching her. I am afraid that if I do, she will disappear into thin air. My memories come flooding back, one by one, each one more powerful than the last. The burn like fire behind my eyes, but with each kiss I place on Elana’s skin, makes it all worth it. She is finally mine. I hover over her body, relishing in her warmth beneath me. How my brother ever tossed her to the side, I will never understand. Her fingers rest on my sides, touching the scars that remain from the night I saved them. Fear and remorse fill her eyes, but I refuse to let her dwell on what could have been.I press my lips to hers, running my tongue along the seam of her lips. She opens quickly, deepening the kiss with stronger passion than before. Her knees spread, and I settle between them, but I don’t enter her. Not yet. Her fingers curl against my skin, trying to pull me closer as her hips lift from the mattress. I swallow her moans, l

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 83

    Elana POVWe stand quietly, looking into each other’s eyes. My chest heaves with the rhythm of my heart. Damon’s hand reaches for mine, and I resist the urge to pull it back. I’m scared. I am sure it is written all over my face, but he isn’t. There is no hesitation in his hazel eyes, only determination. “So,” Alexis giggles from behind us. “I’m going to go.”Damon doesn’t look away from me. “You can use Elana’s room. She won’t be needing it.” “It’s about damn time,” Alexis snickers.“Come with me,” he whispers, and before I can answer, he lifts me effortlessly into his arms. My fingers curl around the back of his neck, my face buried against his throat as I try to hide my embarrassment of being carried off by my friend in front of my other best friend. The pack house is silent as Damon shoulders the back door open. He climbs the stairs, not caring if anyone sees us. His attention is fixed entirely on me, cradled in his arms. In his room the air is dark and cool. He set

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 82

    Elana POVBy the time Damon slips out of my room, I’m shaking. My heart’s hammering, my lips still tingling, Lucy pacing so hard inside me it feels like I’ll burst out of my skin. She wants me to go after him, but I don’t know which one she is talking about. Victor and Damon have both visited me tonight. I need to talk to someone who isn’t inside this madness.I grab my phone and scroll until I hit Alexis’s name. She picks up on the second ring. “Elana? Are you okay?” I open my mouth to spill what has happened over the past week, but I can’t seem to find the right words. “This is madness,” I whisper.“What’s madness?” She asks, half panicked. “You sound… weird.”“I need you,” I whisper. “Can you come to the pack house? Now?”“I’m on my way.”Less than twenty minutes later, she’s here, hair tied up, sneakers on, eyes already searching my face. “You look like you’ve been hit by a truck.”I drag her upstairs to my room. I don’t want to talk about this where other people might he
