REIGNITED BONDS: The Return Of The Rejected Luna Twenty Six
RAELYNN "Why are you really here? Why did you return after five years? Who the hell are you?" Rai demanded, his voice laced with irritation. I wondered why. We'd always been hostile to each other but it seemed to have become much worse. "I already told you. I only returned because you asked for my help," I said and his gaze darkened. "Are you sure? Are you certain that you did not show up just to exert your revenge on me?" He demanded and I scoffed, picking up my bag from the couch. "Is this really why you called me to your office? To accuse me? You're just as shameless as always," I said, and he narrowed his eyes at me."What? Shameless? Stop trying to change the topic. Admit it, you have malicious intents and --""That's enough," I spat, tightening my grip on my handbag. His expression faltered as I approached his desk and halted right in front of it. "It was my day off yesterday. You called me out of the blue and I went out to you. I didn't abandon you when I saw you

RAI Rosy cheeks and bright chestnut eyes. I doubted that I would forget how she looked tonight. When I leaned in with the intention to kiss her, Kairos growled in my head in anticipation. He had pushed his way to the surface and was eager to mark her. But I knew better. She wasn't my mate. Not anymore. The loud honking from the car parked behind us snapped me out of the haze that had kept me irrational. So I slowly pulled away and cleared my throat. Without a word, I turned on the ignition and pulled out of the parking lot. Raelynn remained silent as I continued to drive. She kept her face turned away from me as she gazed outside the window. Her shoulders were slumped and her overall body language indicated how exhausted she was. "Raelynn --" I start to say and she interrupted me without looking at me."It didn't happen. Nothing happened tonight. Let's keep it that way," she said in a monotonous voice. Clenching my jaw, I sharply exhaled through my nostrils. The bitter burn in

AUSTIN "What the hell happened last night?" I said to Nadia who was was sitting by Rai's bedside. Rai on the other hand, was lying on the hospital bed, unconscious. When I first heard about his fainting episode in the elevator, I'd been worried that something was terribly wrong with him. But, after a few days passed, and nothing happened to him, I was convinced that he was fine. "Will you not say something?" I said to Nadia and she glared at me. "I don't like that tone," she said through gritted teeth and I narrowed my eyes at her. I'd never seen her with such dark expressions before and even though I knew she'd always displayed a false image, I was still surprised. "He was perfectly fine yesterday at the office. What the hell happened to him?" I asked again and she lowered her gaze to the ground, tucking a few strands of her hair behind an ear. "Are you trying to say I did something to him. It's unbelievable but...father called him and asked him to marry me. Rai was so a

RAELYNN I stared at the screen of my phone with a heavy pressure lingering on my chest. I'd told Austin that I didn't care about whatever happens to Rai. But there I was, wondering if I'd done the right thing. My phone suddenly rang out and I picked up the call the moment I saw the caller ID."Hey, Theo," I said."The twins are missing," he said and I froze. "W-what?" I breathed, stuck with terror. "We're still searching for them but it appears that they have been abducted. We found an ominous note in their rooms," Theo said, his voice trembling. "No. Not my babies. Please find them. I can't lose them--"The sound of an ear piercing gunshot rang through the air and I instinctively went down on my knees as the glass window shattered, eliciting a scream from me. Trembling, I lowered my head as another gunshot echoed in the room, a bullet embedding itself in the wall of the hotel room. The whole place went silent but I remained hunched over on the floor, my heart threatenin

RAI I narrowed my eyes at the monitor in front of me. Displayed on the screen was a live video of Raelynn confronting Susan. I should've known that she would try to do something like this. If she wanted to satisfy her curiosity that badly, she shouldn't have let me find out about it. However, the moment she turned away to leave, Susan called out to her and I stiffened. Listening closer to their conversation, I fixed my gaze on Susan who was visibly trembling. "Who was it, Susan. Don't be afraid. You can tell me," I heard Raelynn say. Susan started to back away, shaking her head vigorously. All of a sudden, her neck got twisted in a gruesome manner, blood splashing all over the wall. A muffled scream escaped Raelynn's lips as she stumbled backwards, her hands clamped over her mouth. Shooting to my feet, I instantly mindlinked Jared. 'Get her out of there, right now.'He responded immediately. 'Yes, Alpha.'My blood boiled in my veins at the thought of whoever was responsible

RAELYNN The concern in Kyan's voice brought a smile on my face. "I'm okay. I didn't get hurt," I said to him. I didn't think he needed to know about Susan's death or how I was barely keeping myself from mulling over how she'd died in front of me. "That's a relief. You've gone through so much," Kyan stated and my smile widened."I appreciate your concern for me, Kyan. I haven't done a lot for --""I'm inviting you to dinner. Tonight," he said and I went still, tightening my grip on the phone. The last thing I wanted to do at the moment was attend a date. Especially not after everything that had happened within the past few hours. "Kyan, I'm not really interested in any of that," I said to him."Come on, Raelynn. You've been through a lot. You should relax and unwind. Trust me, you won't regret it," he stated and I heaved a sigh."Fine.""That's great! I'll send you the address of the restaurant. I would have invited you to a private dinner at my home, but I don't want to co

RAI Kissing her again for the first time in five years made my heart pound in excitement. I hadn't felt like that in a while. Nothing else mattered in that moment. It was petty of me to stake my claim in such a tense situation. I had no excuse. I had reached my limits at this point. When I pulled away to see the emotions in her brown eyes, I realized what I'd just done. Her eyes were clouding up with moisture and a spark of rage enveloped her beautiful brown eyes and my chest tightened. Against her will, I'd just kissed her. "Rae..." I started to say, reaching out to hold her. But then, she slapped me across the face. It stung but I knew that I deserved something worse. Even so, I couldn't stand the fact that she'd just been on a date with Kyan. Kyan lurched forward, grabbing me by the front of my black shirt, his eyes fired up with fury. "How dare you? You are her ex-husband. You have nothing to do with her," he growled. "I'm leaving," Raelynn said through gritted teeth.

RAI I couldn't sleep that night. Nadia had threatened to print wedding invitations and send them out without my approval. It shouldn’t have bothered me but it did. I'd planned to avoid Raelynn as much as I could. However, she'd called me the next morning, asking me to come to her office. Sitting directly opposite her in her office, I couldn't look away from her for a second. Whatever attraction had been growing between us seemed to have escalated. My wolf was just as unsettled."What is this sudden meeting about?" I said, trying to distract myself from thinking about how good she smelled."I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for Izzy," she said, rising to her feet. I frowned at her, puzzled."Izzy asked me to examine you. She thinks there's something seriously wrong with you," she stated. I scoffed, leaning back on the seat. "Sure."Raelynn halted in front of me and bent over a little. Then she brought the chest piece of her stethoscope to my chest. I stiffened, startl

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
