REIGNITED BONDS: The Return Of The Rejected Luna Eighteen
RAELYNN I stared at the palm of my hand, my eyes narrowed as I recalled the sudden burst of blue light that had emerged from my palm right when Rai had leaned into me. It had never happened before. The more I thought about it, the more I became puzzled. There was a knock on the door of my office. So, I looked up, my frown deepening. "It's me," I heard Nadia say. The corner of my mouth tilted upwards and I leaned back on my seat, the frown on my face fading away. "Come in," I stated and she walked in with a small gift basket containing some fruits. I folded my arms across my chest, eyeing her with a blank look on my face. "What brings you here?" I asked and she placed the small basket on the desk, right in front of me. Although she wasn't smiling or frowning, the malice in her eyes was unmistakable. "I apologize for putting you through so much trouble the last time we met," she began. I raised a brow, amused. "You didn't have to apologize," I said and she scoffed, plan

RAI She stared up at me, her chin raised in defiance. The flames in her eyes did not vanish as we engaged in a heated stare-down. All of a sudden, she slammed her forehead against mine, startling me."What the hell, Raelynn?!" I growled, and she blinked at me like a child caught with jelly all over her mouth. In that instant, my frustration died off. So I pulled away and straightened."Fine. Put on your seatbelt," I said, and she glared at me before grabbing her seatbelt. I slammed the door shut and settled down in the driver's seat."Since when did you get so petty?" I asked, and she scoffed at me."I've always been petty," she mumbled. I blinked at her, surprised by the sudden flutter in my chest when she made that statement."What happened to Raelynn, who was always calm and cool headed?" I said, and she turned to look at me, a smirk curling her lips."She died a long time ago," she replied, and I looked away from her, tightening my grip on the steering wheel.Perhaps I'd push

RAELYNN I stiffened when Kyan's lips touched my cheek. He slowly pulled away and gave me a smile, his gaze filled with warmth."We should hang out sometime," he said, and I flashed him a smile."Maybe."When he took my hand and lowered his head to press a kiss to the back of my palm, I couldn't help but smile. He was such a charmer."Are you usually like this with every beautiful woman you encounter?" I teased, and he cracked a smile."No. Only to an exceptionally gorgeous woman who goes by the name Raelynn," he replied, and I chuckled."I should get going now. I had a great time tonight," I told him, and he nodded."Let me walk you to your car." The words had barely left his lips when I felt a familiar presence behind me. Turning around with a start, I came face-to-face with Rai. His face was devoid of expression, but his eyes told a different story. He was mad."Hello, Raelynn," he droned, and I heaved a sigh. I should've known that one way or another, I would encounter him at

RAELYNN "Is everything alright?" I looked up at the sound of Judy's voice. She was sitting up on the bed, her messy blonde hair framing her face. "Maurice just called me. Apparently, my dad is in a critical condition," I told her and she frowned at me."Something smells fishy about this," she stated."You think so?" She nodded."I have a feeling it's a trap of sorts," she stated and I nodded in agreement. Either way, I needed to find out what was really going on."You still have to be careful. Who knows what they're planning?" Judy said, her tone clipped. She seemed truly annoyed. I couldn't help but smile. "It's not like they can plot something grand in a place like the medical centre," I said and she sighed. "Fine," she mumbled.After getting dressed, I promptly left for the medical centre and made inquiries to locate my father. Sure enough, he'd been admitted in one of the wards. When I walked in, I found Maurice sitting by the bedside with a solemn look on her face. M

RAI My father was all smiles the moment he set his eyes on Raelynn. She beamed at him and took her seat by his bedside. It was almost impossible to tell that a couple of minutes ago, we had been at each other's throats. "I was so relieved when I heard that you'd returned, my dear," my father said. "It's good to see you again, James," Raelynn said and he grinned at her. "I heard about what you did for me. Thank you for saving my life," he said and she chuckled."I was only doing my job," she replied. She was clearly being modest about it. "I owe you an apology," my father started to say and Raelynn rose to her feet with a look of disapproval on her face. "You did nothing wrong," she said and he heaved a heavy sigh. "Clearly, I raised my son wrongly,” he stated and I rolled my eyes, folding my arms across my chest.There he was again. He was just as dramatic as ever. "If you would forgive him for everything he did to you, would you accept him as your mate again? You see, I fe

RAELYNN Theo slowly released his grip on Rai's shirt and hurried over to my side, his brows furrowed in concern. "I'm alright," I said, slowly rising to my feet. Rai stared at me, his burning gaze locked with mine. I lowered my stare to his elongated claws, tension gripping me as I acknowledged how deadly they looked. I'd never seen him so riled up. "Put away your claws, will you?" I said through gritted teeth. Without a word, he turned away from us and started to make his way down the hallway. Then he halted. He kept his gaze fixed on the floor in front of him. "I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking straight," he said, clenching his fists. Blood dripped from his palm as his claws dug into his flesh. Swallowing hard, I watched him make his way towards the staircase, disappearing past the door. "He's a mess," Theo commented. My stomach tightened as unease washed over me. I hated to admit it but Theo was right. Rai was a wreck. Did it make me feel bad for him? Only a little. "What'

IZZY Several Years Ago, "What's that?" I asked, glancing at my brother who stood in front of his open locker, his gaze fixed on what appeared to be a love letter. It was the first time I'd ever seen him smile at the sight of a love letter."Do you know who wrote it?" I asked, nudging him on the side. He shrugged, refusing to avert his gaze from the paper in his hand. "She has always been so obvious about her feelings," he commented."So, you'll ask her out?" I said and he winced.My eyes widened. My brother, the perfect Rai Vidal was clearly nervous about asking a girl out. "This is insane. You're actually nervous," I said and he slammed his locker shut, shoving the letter in the pocket of his pants."It's none of your business. Why don't you run along?” he said and I chuckled."She's such a lucky girl. Most girls suffer from unrequited love. It's both painful and sweet. But what's truly sweet is having mutual feelings for each other," I said and he smiled. "I'l

RAI As soon as Izzy left my room, I suddenly felt drained and regret sank into me. I knew she truly cared about me, but I couldn't bring myself to accept it because I knew. I knew I didn't deserve to be happy or cared for. I was better off embracing my own karma. I didn't want to get my hopes up. Returning to my bed, I sat down, burying my face in my hands. My phone buzzed and I picked it up from the nightstand. Raelynn had just sent me a message. It read:'Listen to whatever Izzy has to tell you. She cares about you. Also, make sure you set up an appointment with a healer. You're not in good shape. Don't ignore it or it'll only get a lot worse'I stared at the screen of my phone in disbelief. "What's it to her anyway?" I muttered. Glancing outside the window, I took a deep breath. Perhaps, Raelynn was right. Maybe there was something wrong with me. Closing my eyes, I tried to get myself to relax. An image of Raelynn's face appeared in my mind's eye and I sighed. Was it re

REIGNITED BONDS: The Return Of The Rejected Luna Epilogue
RAELYNN It was snowing tonight, although not as much as it did during Christmas Eve which was a couple of days ago. Glancing at the light blue sky, I bit my lower lip. A smile tugged at my lips at the sound of the giggles of my youngest child, a new addition to my family. I could hear Rai's deep voice all the way from the sitting room. Together with the sound of the twins' laughter, these sounds had become my favourite. When the sounds ceased, I listened closely for the sound of approaching footsteps. The door opened and I turned around to find Rai standing there with little Aiden in his arms. His amber eyes warmed when they met mine. "Hey," I said and he made his way towards me, pulling me into a hug. I brought my hand to the nape of his neck, letting my fingers drift through the strands of his hair. Rai had ditched his long hair for a shorter hair and a clean undercut. "What's on your mind?" He asked and I beamed at him, running my fingers over his handsome face. "I'm j

RAI Her wedding dress was perfect. Watching her walk towards me with her father made my heart flutter wildly against my rib cage. This wasn't our first wedding. Even so, this day felt like something out of a daydream. When she got to me, she held out a gloved hand to me, which I accepted right away. Steering her towards me, I took a deep breath. "Rai," I heard her whisper. The mere sound of her calling my name sent a wave of heat coursing through my veins. Her gaze met mine and I smiled, a wave of relief washing over me. I'd spent years yearning for her. Still, I'd lied to myself. I'd refused to accept how much I wanted her. I'd been foolish. It didn't help that I'd been struck by an overwhelming guilt when I'd learnt of her 'death'.Fate had given me a new chance to love her properly. "Rai Vidal, do you take Raelynn Norman as your wife and partner, to love and to hold for the rest of your life?" I heard the priest say. "I do," I said, linking my fingers with Raelynn's. She h

RAELYNN "If you don't want to die, open this door," I stated and she swallowed hard, sweat dripping down her temples.All of a sudden, she burst into laughter and doubled over. I eyed her with annoyance. Was everything she'd just displayed merely an act? If it was, it made a lot of sense. She was a part of the witch council. There was no way she was truly afraid of me. Was there something I was missing? As I thought about this, she straightened and cracked a manic smile at me, her eyes glowing with what appeared to be a murderous intent. "You're going to pay for everything you've done," she drawled and I clenched my fists. I didn't understand what she meant. As far as I could tell, I had never encountered her before. Therefore, there was no way I could've offended her unless..."You're the one who invited me here, aren't you? You planned this from the start," I said and she chuckled dryly. "I guess you aren't dumb," she commented, folding her arms across her chest.I obse

RAELYNN Austin took a sip from the can of beer I'd offered him. Then he heaved a sigh, his gaze finding Rai's. "You're still not going to say anything? It's been nearly ten minutes, you know?" Rai said, his gaze unwavering.Austin cleared his throat, leaning back on his seat."My bad," he mumbled and I raised a brow at him. "Alright, try not to freak out--" he started to say, and Rai's expression darkened."Are you kidding me, Austin? Spit it out already," Rai hissed, his impatience written all over his face. "The witch council wishes to have a meeting with Raelynn," Austin stated and my frown deepened."And how's that supposed to be bad news?" I asked and he winced."They must have gotten wind of your involvement with the red tulip cult. They also learnt of the fact that you got rid of the plague," he added. Rai heaved a sigh, running his fingers through his hair."That's not good," he mumbled."I still don't understand. Am I too dull for this?" I said and Rai reached acr

RAELYNN Rose must've thought that she was doing a good job at blurring the line between the truth and the lie. Nonetheless, I'd figured it out. The spell was linked to the fact that I was mated to Rai. "Raelynn..." Rai rasped, his breathing strained. My heart ached for him. It was obvious at this point. Our destinies were ill-fated. We were bound to hurt each other as long as we were bound by our bonds. I'd forgiven him for hurting me and I didn't want him to suffer because of me anymore. With this thought, I came to a conclusion that the only way to save him was to lose him. "It's alright. I'll set you free," I whispered and he smiled weakly. The lights in his eyes grew dim as he gasped for air. I swallowed hard, fresh tears filling my eyes."I, Raelynn Norman, reject you, Rai Vidal..."His eyes bulged in their sockets, terror written all over his face."No...." His voice was laced with desperation when he spoke again.I knew he would refuse to reject me. Even s

RAI At first, I felt as though I was trapped in an empty space. I couldn't feel my body and I didn't know where I was. By the time I snapped back to reality, I felt as though I was watching myself from afar. And, when I saw the mortifying scene unfolding before my eyes, I went ballistic. "So this is it. This is what it feels like to be in Alpha Rai's body," I heard myself say. It took me a moment to realize what was really good on. Kyan was inside my body. But how?How did things escalate to this aggravating point?It didn't help that I couldn't recall much. When Kyan attempted to kiss my woman, a dam of fury was unlocked inside of me. Therefore, my will to recover my body waxed stronger. Raelynn attempted to push my body away from her and when it didn't work, she jammed her elbow into my guts and I doubled over. I was relieved to know that she'd managed to free herself from Kyan. "Why are you running? Play with me a little longer, will you?" Kyan screamed as he chased afte

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
