The text comes through while I'm in a meeting with the eastern territory representatives.

I ignore it at first—checking my phone during negotiations would shatter my stone cold façade, an illusion a man in my position cannot afford to break. But something makes me glance down when the representative is reviewing documents. The message preview shows just enough to make my chest tighten.

I can't meet. Too many eyes on me.

I conclude the meeting fifteen minutes later with terms favorable en

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 205

    NicolaiThe plan is as clean as we can make it based on the limited intel we have. Thankfully, It’s not my first time infiltrating a heavily secured building whose layout I know very little about and can only make assumptions. I know what a clean plan looks like. I've run operations with the deck stacked against me before. Against people who were expecting me, with resources that didn't cover the gap between what I needed and what I had. I know the difference between a plan that works and a plan that looks like it works.This one works. It has to. We pull off the dirt road, into an abandoned field near our target but still far enough away not to be detected. It’s where we’ll leave most of our vehicles while we go the rest of the way on foot. Everyone exits their vehicles and crowds around mine for one last briefing before we go in. “Entry will be from the eastern access point.” I call out, pointing at the map spread out on the hood of my SUV. “Secondary team waits on the perimeter—e

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 204

    SkyeMinutes pass that feel like hours after Savin leaves me to ruminate on his not-so-veiled threat. Instead, I'm calculating the door—the hinges, the lock, whether there's anything in this room that could be useful—when I hear the footsteps on the stairs again.Too light for Savin. Too controlled for his goons. I can’t even venture a guess who this new person might be but I’m not looking forward to another visitor to my dungeon. Then the door opens and Tatiana Volkov steps inside. If I thought I was unenthused before, I’m downright apathetic now. Nicolai’s ex-lover is the last thing I need to be dealig with right now. I know her immediately, of course. She's exactly as I remember from the estate—beautiful, polished, the kind of woman who moves through spaces like she expects them to rearrange around her.She looks at me on the floor of this basement room and her expression is—gleeful might be too strong a word, but not by much. She's been planning this moment. I can see it in the

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 203

    SkyeShivers wrack my body as I sit here in my concrete cell. Though if from the cold and dank of the room or the fever from my rising heat, I’m not sure. It’s miserable but I just keep reminding myself I’ve been through worse. I’m not sure when, but I’m clinging to the lie like a lifeline right now. At least my captors have left me alone, keeping to their orders I’m not to be touched. It can’t be easy, given my scent has become so potent it could choke a horse. I guess I should be thankful. Small favors and all that. Just as I’m making some progress convincing myself I might survive this after all, the door to my room opens. The man who enters is not one of the rough operatives who drug me here. It’s not any of the men I’ve been expecting at all.This man is even more polished than Volkov. Gray-templed in the way that makes him look distinguished but not aged. His suit is tailored and his shoes are shined to a high gloss, which tells me something about how far he is from the work h

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 202

    SkyeI’m not sure how much time has passed when we finally pull up to a house that is large and isolated. The area looks rural. Flat land in every direction. No neighboring scents, no pack presence. Chosen for exactly that reason, I’m sure.They drag me out of the backseat and an errant thought hits me immediately—no blindfold. They didn't bother, even though I;ve seen their face, can describe the house they’re dragging me towards. I understand what that means.They have no intention of letting me go in any condition where it matters what I've seen.“Do you know who I am? My husband is going to rip you to shreds for this!” I threaten, thrashing around as much as possible, refusing to make one second of this easy for them. “I doubt that very much Mrs. Woolf.” I look up to find the owner of the heavily accented voice is a clean cut man in a very expensive, almost certainly bespoke three piece suit stepping out onto the porch. A man I recognize. Dmitry Volkov’s expression is one of bare

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 201

    SkyeThe car park is half-empty when I get back to my car. I must’ve been in that store longer than I planned for. I guess that’s what happens when you word vomit your whole life story to a stranger with kind eyes and a willing ear. My mind drifts as I absently search for my keys, thinking about the drive home. About how I’m going to make it into the room with my bag of lingerie without them seeing it. About the look on Nicolai's face and what Jaxon will say when they see me in it, whether the heat is close enough now that being in the same room with both of them will—I’m completely distracted, lost in thought, and paying no attention to my surroundings. So I miss the scent until it hits me half a second before I register movement in my peripheral vision. Wrong. Unfamiliar. Eastern pack markers that don't belong here.I drop my shopping bag and spin to face the owners of the rancid scent, my arms already moving into a defensive position. My father raised me in an Alpha's house. I spe

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 200

    SkyeI knew my heat was coming the moment my scent changed in the garden. Knew it the way you know a shift in weather—before the clouds, before the wind changes. Just the smell of petrichor in the air, different. My wolf lifted her head for the first time in almost a year.I had time for one thought before I made a decision. I want to do one thing for myself first. I hadn't known it would be the last decision I made freely for a while.The boutique I pull up to is small and sells exactly what I’m looking for, the kind of shop that knows exactly what it sells and makes no apologies for it. Silk and lace. Things designed for specific purposes. And they align perfectly with what I have in mind. I'm looking at a display near the window when the saleswoman approaches. She's older, warm-faced, the kind of wolf who has been around long enough to read a room—and a person's scent—without making it awkward.Her nostrils flare slightly when she gets close. She recovers smoothly, but I see it."C

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 2

    Skye I can't breathe.The boy—this child who just called my husband daddy—is looking up at Jaxon with complete adoration. And Jaxon... Jaxon isn't denying it. Isn't pushing him away. He's just standing there with his hand on the boy's shoulder, watching me with those cold gray eyes like he's waitin

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 1

    Skye Of all the futures I imagined for myself, I never dreamed one day I would have to choose between my husband and my unborn child.My hand trembles as I smooth down the front of my dress—a soft blue one that Jaxon once said he liked. I've spent an hour on my appearance, wanting to look my best

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 72

    SkyeI stare at Jaxon standing on the terrace, and something inside me finally breaks. Not with drama or tears. Not with shouting or accusations. I no longer have the energy or the emotional investment for those antics. Those were for a younger Skye.This older, more world-weary Skye just... breaks.

  • Pursuing My Rejected Luna   Chapter 62

    JaxonWhen I left Skye the note saying I was leaving on pack business, it was a lie.I drove to my family's cabin in the mountains instead—a place I haven't been since before I took over for my father as Alpha. It’s the only place far enough from the pack that I could think without the weight of res
