REIGNITED BONDS: The Return Of The Rejected Luna Fifty Seven
RAELYNN All eyes were fixed on me as I made my way into the large hall. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. I'd decided to show up at the wedding on the spur of the moment. It had taken me a while to figure it out but after my phone call with Rai the previous day, I'd realized why he'd been unable to tell me what was really going on. I'd pierced the pieces of the puzzle together, and had chosen to crash the wedding while wearing one of my best dresses. This wedding wasn't a small one. There were so many distinguished guests in attendance, just like the day Rai and I had gotten married. He was quite a popular figure after all. "What are you doing here?" Nadia snarled when I halted right in front of them. I ignored her statement, my chest tightening when I took in the haggard sight of Rai. He looked like he was in a lot of pain. He'd lost some weight too. A twinge of guilt niggled at my insides when our gazes locked. I'd been too caught up in the situation that I hadn

RAI Several Years Ago, I stared at the red roses in my hand, a nervous smile spreading over my face. It was today--the day I would finally ask her out. And by her, I meant Raelynn Hills--the origin of the fluttering in my stomach at the moment. Tonight was the school's official dance night. Thankfully, Raelynn had showed up. An hour had passed since the event had kicked off but I was yet to get my act together. "Get it together, Rai. It's not your first time asking a girl out," I groaned. However, this girl was different because as cheesy as it sounded, I'd had a crush on her for a while. And that crush had bloomed into something stronger, something I couldn't shake off. "What's up, big brother?"I flinched at the sound of my sister's voice, immediately hiding the flowers behind me. Izzy wriggled her brows at me, amusement written over her face. I could tell she was enjoying this. "Are those flowers for her? Nice choice. You should hurry up and confess your l

RAELYNN It was unnerving how Kyan had entered my house so easily. There was no sign of a forced entry. And while he stood by the door, he didn't move an inch. Folding his arms across his chest, his gaze drifted from me to Rai. "Ah...look at that. Such a lovely couple. I almost feel jealous," he said and Rai stiffened, hostility rolling off him in waves. "Cut the crap, Kyan. Why are you here?" He spat. "For a simple reason," he deadpanned and my frown deepened. "What?"He cracked a smile at me, his claws making an appearance. "I'm supposed to get rid of the traitor," he said, pointing a claw at Rai, his eyes turning a bright yellow. My stomach churned in discomfort at the realization that I'd been right all along. Kyan was indeed somehow affiliated with Nadia. Rai scoffed. "Traitor? Really? You're really going to let Nadia use you as her errand boy?" He commented. The smile on Kyan's face faded, a crease forming in between his brows. As much as I would like to confront K

RAELYNN "I want to claim you, Rai," I whisperered. "Can I?""Right here?" He rasped, his eyes darkening with lust. I smirked, leaning up to kiss him on the lips. Cupping the back of his head, I deepened our kiss and scratched his scalp gently. A moan escaped his lips and he tightened his grip on my waist. Pulling away from him, I buried my face in the crook of his neck and pressed a kiss there. Letting out a guttural growl, he grabbed my free hand and brought it to his crotch. "Look what you do to me, woman.” He groaned. Knowing that I had that much effect on him made me feel powerful. I could feel my wolf pushing to the surface, my fangs making an appearance. Rai let out a deeper groan when I ran my fangs over his skin and swiped my tongue over the spot. "Do you smell something burning?" Rai suddenly commented and I frowned, pulling away to sniff at the air. And sure enough, the food was burning.Alarmed, Rai turned off the cooker and grimaced at me."This is all your

RAELYNN "Mum... w-what's going on? Am I...dead?" I croaked, terror gripping me. "You're not dead, silly. You're just detached from your physical form," she responded and I sighed. "Rai doesn't know that. He looks terrified," I pointed out, feeling sorry for Rai who held on to my limp form in horror. "He'll figure it out," my mum said. "This strange blue light has a lot to do with my magic, doesn't it?" I asked her and she nodded."It's why I asked you to accept it. Become one with it. That way, it can't be stolen from you," she said and my eyes went wide. "Stolen? What do you mean?""There is a reason why you're destined to be Rai's partner. He's meant to complete you," she said.I blinked as she placed her hands on my shoulders and looked into my eyes. "Listen to me clearly, you must not let go..." Her voice faded and she also faded out of sight. Struck with urgency, I called out for her but got no response. Instead, I was sucked back into my body. I opened my eyes slowl

RAI Every single fibre of my being wrestled for control over the spell that had kept my mind captive. It killed me to watch Raelynn's beautiful eyes fill up with tears and terror. The more I tried to fight the spell, the more it's grip on me tightened. Suddenly, Raelynn stopped struggling. Then she reached out to touch my face, her teary eyed gaze meeting mine. "It's okay. I won't hold this against you," she choked out and I pulled away from her, stumbling across the kitchen to slam a hand on the wall. I could hear Raelynn coughing behind me, struggling to catch her breath. My chest tightened, angry tears pricking my eyes. 'Kill her!' An angry screech invaded my senses, sending a jolt of pain through my skull. 'Damn you,' I thought, doubling over as the pain worsened."Rai?" Raelynn said as she approached me. I shook my head frantically, mentally pleading for her to maintain a good distance from me. When she continued to approach, I knew I needed to leave. However, before

RAELYNN When Rai showed up in the dining room with a worried look on his face, I knew that something was up. At this point, it felt like a never-ending saga. He sat down on a chair and the kids greeted him with cheery voices. He beamed at them, his gaze softening. He was such a natural when it boiled down to interacting with our kids. Moving over to his side, I placed a hand on his shoulder and leaned closer to him. "Did something happen?" I asked and he flashed me a tight smile. My heart sank. Whatever had happened seemed to be far worse than I'd imagined. "I got a call from Jared--" he was interrupted by the sound of my ringing phone and I glanced at it, puzzled."It's probably a call from the medical centre," he told me and I grabbed my phone from the table. Rai was right. It was a call from Rose. Swiftly picking up the call, I lifted the phone to my ear. I could hear the wailing of sirens through the phone."Doctor Lynn, it's me, Rose," my assistant said, her voice qu

RAELYNN "Come on, let's go. Can you run?" He asked softly. Steeling my resolve, I nodded once. Together, we both hurried away from the building. There was a black SUV waiting by the corner. When we got to it, Hunter opened the door of the car and I sat down on the passenger seat. He joined me shortly after, settling down on the driver's seat. A lump formed in my throat as he manoeuvred the car out of the parking space, my gaze resting on Rai who had suddenly run into the side walk, his chest heaving. Looking away from him, I folded my arms across my chest and leaned back on my seat. "Hold on, okay? I'll get you out of here soon enough," Hunter said and I released an exasperated sigh. For a few seconds, a thought crossed my mind. Was I really doing the right thing? It wasn't okay to just walk away from the chaos but I couldn't help it, I valued my own peace of mind. "Are you alright?" Hunter asked when we were a good distance away from the paparazzi. "I'm fine," I muttered,

RAELYNN "What are you talking about? Raelynn, you're engaged," Hunter said, his face contorted in incredulity. "I need your help," I said and his frown deepened."You have to be clear about what you need my help with," he stated slowly. "I asked my dad to help Rai and he did. But, in exchange, he wants me to marry you," I told him. "What? That's insane," Hunter said. "The thing is... he already held up his own part of the deal," I stated and he whistled under his breath."That's fast. How is Rai doing? Shouldn't you be with him right now?" "I've been anxious. I just thought I needed to get this situation off my chest," I muttered, gulping down more water. "I'm guessing that Rai doesn't know about any of this," Hunter pointed out and I nodded."He's going to be so mad if he finds out.""So, what do you want me to do?" He asked and I clenched my fists, tension gripping me." I'm thinking you can just pretend to be my fiance for a little while and after a month we can offici

RAELYNN "He wants to know the truth, Rae. You're planning to marry Hunter, aren't you?" Caroline had a smug expression on her face when she spoke. My gaze met Rai's bewildered ones and I knew right away that I couldn't get away with telling a lie. I'd hoped that I could keep it away from him, long enough to get him the help he desperately needed. "Tell me it's not true," Rai croaked and I lowered my gaze, my eyes brimming with tears."I'm sorry," I croaked. This scenario was the last thing I'd expected. I should've known that Caroline was up to no good, the last time I'd encountered her. **Flashback**I was stepping out of my father's office when I nearly bumped into a familiar figure along the corridor. It was Caroline. I hadn't seen her in a very long time. She appeared gaunt and miserable. "What are you doing here?" I asked and she grinned at me."You're getting married to Hunter? Who's Hunter? Another hotshot?" She asked and my eyes widened."Where did you--""I over

RAI The cheerful sounds of my daughters’ voices awakened me from my slumber. Slowly, I sat up in bed and found that I was all alone in the room. When I took a deep breath, the mouthwatering smell of fried chicken saturated my senses.'Raelynn must be up to something tasty,’ I thought as I got out of bed, ignoring the aches that assaulted my body each time I moved.Making my way into the bathroom, I halted in front of the mirror and stared at my reflection for a while. I was such a mess. I pushed my fingers through my messy bed hair and attempted to bring a smile to my face. I managed to smile, although it was somewhat broken.After going through my morning routine, I stepped out into the dining room, where the twins sat with their mother. They all beamed at me, urging me to join them.After breakfast, we all settled down in the sitting room. The twins were engaged with their toys while Raelynn and I watched over them.All of a sudden, my nose began to bleed. In a flurry of movem

RAELYNN I stared at Rai's immobile form, clenching my jaw. His right and left arm were wrapped in bandage and his face was as pale as sheets. Jared heaved a sigh, his gaze resting on Rai. "Do you really think he did that to himself?" He asked and I clenched my jaw, willing the tears to go away. My eyes were sore from all the crying I'd done earlier. "What do you think? Clearly, he did it to himself," I replied and he muttered a string of curses."I should have stopped him. I knew he was struggling. I just didn't think it was this bad," Jared stated and I shook my head."I didn't see this coming either. I thought I'd convinced him not to hurt himself. I was stupid," I said, running my fingers through my hair."What do we do now? It's been nearly six hours. He's yet to regain consciousness," Jared's brows were knitted into a frown as he spoke. The words had barely left his lips when Rai let out a groan, a frown settling in between his brows. I rushed to his side, bringing a hand

RAELYNN "Go ahead and reject me," he droned and I halted, my heart racing in my chest. A lump formed in my throat as I struggled to maintain my composure. Slowly, I turned around and dragged in a sharp breath. "Is that really what you want?" I asked and he clenched his jaw, his eyes going blank. "Do it."We stared at each other, our gazes unwavering. The tension in the air had tripled. Despite my attempts to appear cold and unforgiving, I was hurting inside. For the life of me, I knew I couldn't bring myself to reject him. No matter how hard he pushed me, I knew I couldn't give up on him. "You can't do it?" He said and I clenched my fists, annoyed. The mockery in his tone was unmissable. "I'll get you the help you need," I said and turned away from him. "Why?" He asked, following after me as I left the room. My feet came to a halt, angry tears filling my eyes. I could still smell the fresh blood leaving his body. I hated the fact that he was letting himself bleed like th

RAELYNN I was returning from the grocery store when I noticed the car parked right in front of my house. Frowning, I fished for the pepper spray in my coat. The moment my fingers curled around the container, the door of the car was pushed open and Hunter stepped out. He held up his hands and flashed me a smile."How do you know where I live?" I asked and he beamed at me."I did a little research," he replied and I scoffed at him."What are you doing here? I thought I made it clear that I'm not interested in you" I said and he winced."Although I'm hurt about that, I perfectly understand why. I'm just here to check up on you," he said and I rolled my eyes in annoyance."Now's not a good time, Hunter. Besides, I don't see why you should be concerned about me," I said, attempting to walk past him. "You look tired, Dr. Lynn. Your dark circles are massive and you've lost weight. You haven't been sleeping much, have you?" He pointed out and my feet came to a halt.I hated that he

RAI The weight of the spell threatened to crush my sanity, bringing along with it, a maddening depression. Three days had passed since Raelynn discovered the cuts on my arm, she was constantly on edge. Every few minutes, she would check up on me to make sure I wasn't harming myself. Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I ran my fingers through my hair. It was in dire need of a haircut but I couldn't bring myself to go out in public. "Rai? Are you alright? You've been in there for almost an hour," I heard Raelynn say as she knocked on the door of the bathroom. "I'll be out soon," I replied as I eyed the sharp edge of the mirror. Raelynn had hidden all of the blades and at this point, I was tempted to break the mirror. The memory of the pain I'd inflicted on myself was rather vivid in my mind. I deserved this pain. All along, I'd prided myself to be untouchable. But, there was a glaring truth I'd refused to see all along. I was weak. I was stupid. It had taken years for Nadi

RAELYNN "Judy? Is everything okay?" I said, and she sniffled. I exchanged bewildered glances with Rai, who looked visibly worried, a crease forming in between his brows."Did something happen?" I asked, my insides twisting into a painful knot. I could feel my pounding heart in my chest. It made me hyperaware of the situation."Judy, please talk to me," I said, and she broke down into a sob. My eyes widened, and my breathing quickened. Fear sank into me, and I shot to my feet."What is it?" I asked cautiously."Everything is okay now. It scared the life out of me. I thought...Rae... I thought...""Breathe, Judy. You're rambling. Please tell me what's going on," I pleaded, my voice quivering.Rai had risen to his feet. He was standing by my side with one hand on my shoulder, silently assuring me that he was right there by my side."I had a bad dream. In the dream, someone kidnapped the twins," she said, and I stiffened, nausea sweeping through me.I didn't like where she was goi

RAELYNN My phone buzzed from its position on the nightstand and I reached out to pick it up. I'd just received from Hunter whom I'd coincidentally run into, a couple of hours before. The text said:'Have you resolved your issues with Rai?'I groaned in annoyance, squeezing my eyes shut. I didn't have to tell him about my fall out with Rai, he'd been able to tell at a glance. And, I hated that. Although I'd refused to tell him what had really happened, he'd concluded that I'd had a big fight with Rai. I stared at the text for a while, contemplating my next line of action. Right before I could actually get down to typing a reply, I heard Rai call out for me. I closed my eyes, releasing a sigh. I couldn't tell if it was merely the effect of our bond, I itched to go to him. I was still upset. I still couldn't wrap my head around the actual reason behind the divorce. Rai had hurt me deeply. Even so, he was a changed person now. He was clearly tormented by his own guilt. Decidin
