REIGNITED BONDS: The Return Of The Rejected Luna Fifty
RAELYNN He beamed at me and gave me a little wave, his heated gaze sweeping over me. "Hello there, Raelynn," he said, and I glanced at Judy, who raised a brow at me, as if to ask me if I knew who he was. "Go inside with the kids," I said, and she nodded, stepping right into action immediately. Once she'd secured the kids and shut the door, I forced out a smile and took a step towards Kyan, who was still waiting on the front porch. "It's such a surprise seeing you here," I stated, hugging my jacket closer to my body. "Was that your friend and her kids?" He asked, gesturing at the door."Yeah," I said, maintaining a calm expression."It's strange. The kids look so much like you. I could've easily mistaken you for their mother," he said, and I moved towards them, holding out a hand."Are those flowers for me?" I asked, and his smile widened as he handed the bouquet over to me. "Do you like them?" he asked. "Of course. They're really beautiful," I responded. I was reminded

RAI A lump formed in my throat, my heart racing in my chest as I slowly processed what was going on. A part of me couldn't believe that this was real. “Is this..?" The words died off in my throat as I struggled to maintain my composure. I'd always dreamt of this moment. Even so, I could barely get myself to calm down. Taking a deep breath, I lowered my hand from my hair. Then I turned to look at Raelynn whose soft gaze was fixed on me. "Are you finally going to introduce me to them as their dad?" I asked, failing to compose myself. She nodded slowly, a small smile curving her cherry pink lips. "Rae..."She reached out to take my hand in hers. Only then did I realize that my hands were trembling. "I decided that it's best if the kids meet you. I'm beginning to see how much of a changed man you have become. I know you feel terrible about what happened between us. So I decided not to drag the kids into our feuds," she said to me and my chest tightened."Why does this sound lik

RAELYNN An hour ago, "I really enjoyed talking to you tonight, Raelynn," Hunter, my date for the night said with a charming smile on his face."I feel the same way. It's been a lovely night," I replied and he reached out for my hand across the table, his gentle gaze fixed on me. I let him hold my hand, the smile on my face growing. Hunter was a nice person and his charms shone even through our conversations. I was comfortable around him, much to my surprise. I rarely felt that way around anyone who wasn't Rai. "Can I see you again?" Hunter asked and I grinned."For?""A second date?" He asked. "Sure."He inhaled sharply, raking his fingers through his short dark hair."Thank you for giving me a chance, beautiful. I'll make sure you won't regret it," He said and I nodded. "Shall we get going? I'll walk you to your car..." he said and I rose to my feet. We both left the restaurant and he walked me to my car and he waved me goodbye. Through the side mirror, I could

RAI I stared at my reflection in the mirror, and realized that for the first time in a very long time, I looked and felt alive. At the mere thought of Raelynn, my heart rate would accelerate and a smile would ghost over my lips. I wanted this feeling to last forever. Rolling my shoulders, I stepped away from the mirror and slipped on a bath robe. Then I made my way to my room. I'd just slipped on a pair of grey sweatpants when I heard the frantic knock on the door. Puzzled, I stormed towards it and pulled it open. My eyes widened when Nadia fell into my arms and went down on her knees before me. She was trembling and sobbing like she'd just seen something terrifying. Confused, I crouched in front of her to study her features. "What is the matter?" I asked and she latched onto me, burying her face against my chest as her shoulders heaved. "Kyan..." She sobbed and I furrowed my brows, a sickening feeling of unease bearing down on me."What are you talking about? Did you see h

RAELYNN It was merely a gut feeling but this feeling was so strong, I was convinced that something was off about Nadia. I didn't have evidence. Hence, I was worried that Rai wouldn't believe what I had to say."Tell me, Raelynn. What do you think?" he insisted, a worried look on his handsome face. I should've listened to him when he'd constantly asked me to stay away from Kyan. Back then, I'd believed he'd only warned me because he couldn't stand Kyan. "I think Nadia is on the same side as Kyan," I stated and Rai's frown deepened. "What do you mean?""I don't know. I can't explain it. But, they both give off the same aura whenever I'm around them," I said to him and he fixed an incredulous stare at him, clearly still confused."I know it doesn't make a lot of sense. It might sound like utter gibberish but I'm telling you how I feel," I said and he heaved a sigh, bringing a hand to his forehead."I can understand that you feel uncomfortable around the both of them. But, I don

RAELYNN "Kiss me," I whispered, bringing a hand to the back of his neck. A slow smile spread over his lips and he kissed me again, his hands exploring body deftly. "Look at me, Rae. Keep your eyes open," he whispered as his fingers found the sensitive nub in between my thighs. Waves after waves of pleasure rocked my body as he pleasured me until my hole was soaking wet. When he entered me, my body trembled and tingled, my breath quickening. My nails dug into his back when he began to move, soft moans escaping my lips.In the spur of the moment, I felt his fangs sink into my skin and I gasped, electricity racing down my spine.After our release, a sleepy smile curled my lips as I curled into him, feeling warm and sated. Closing my eyes, I nestled against his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heartEverything still felt like a dream. But lingering in the back of my mind was the fear—what if this was just a fleeting moment? What if the past still had the power to tear us apar

RAI A few hours before the call, From the corner of my eye, I watched Nadia as she prepared breakfast in the kitchen while humming an eery tone. Everything had taken a horrid turn when I'd returned to my house a week ago. I couldn't figure out what it was, but something had happened that day. Nadia had walked up to me to embrace me. And in that moment, I'd suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure in my chest. I'd shrugged it off. But, eventually, I realized that my feelings for Raelynn were beginning to get distorted. Each time I thought of her, a sudden wave of disgust would hit me. As the days passed, it only worsened. On the sixth day, I'd realized that I was under some kind of spell. Only then did the pain finally hit me. The cold spells returned and so did the headaches. Despite this, Nadia didn't act out of character. She tended to me like she used to. She never brought up Kyan's attack. "Breakfast is almost ready--" "Cut it out," I interrupted her and she tur

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

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
REIGNITED BONDS: The Return Of The Rejected Luna Eighty
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
