~Sai

The moment my words settled in the air, Theodore froze.

The shock in his eyes gave him away completely—he hadn’t expected that from me. Not even close.

Good.

I had come prepared for him.

And that drink… why would I ever touch it? Poisoned or not, I wouldn’t take anything from a murderer’s hands. Getting close to him had never been about trust—it was strategy. I needed answers. I needed to understand him, to find a crack, a path… something I could use to strike when the time came.

  • The Rejected Luna Strikes Back!    68. Sudden Affection

    ~SaiLola couldn’t believe what her so-called mate had just told her. The same Theodore—the man she had been certain loved her, cared for her—was now asking her to leave?Rage surged through her. Her knuckles turned pale, her face tightening with barely contained fury. Yet she remained rooted to the spot, unmoving, her eyes blazing as she spoke with pure disdain.“Theodore… are you sending me away?” Her voice trembled, though not from weakness. “Are you casting me out just because of her?”Instead of softening, Theodore’s anger only deepened.“Will you get lost,” he snapped coldly, “or do you want me to throw you out myself?”He turned away from her as if she were nothing, then barked at the guards nearby.“What are you all standing there for?” he roared. “Take her away. Get her out of here—and make sure she never steps foot in this place again as long as Sai and I are here!”“Yes, my Alpha!”They bowed instantly and moved in. Without hesitation, they seized Lola, their grip firm and

  • The Rejected Luna Strikes Back!    67. You Are Leaving Instead!

    ~SaiI couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Wait… was Lola actually serious?She was going to throw me out of this restaurant? But for what reason exactly?Oh, right—she had managed to twist the situation, feeding everyone her version of the story. And now, she thought she could use it against me.Instead of panicking, I simply crossed my arms and took a bold step closer to her.“You want to mess with me, huh?” I said, my voice steady and challenging. “You want to throw me out of here? Then go ahead. Come on—throw me out yourself. I’d love to see you try, Lola.”Her anger flared instantly as she glared at me with burning intensity.“You’re still acting tough?” she snapped. “Fine. I’ll show you!”She spun toward the entrance, her eyes locking onto the staff stationed there.“Security! Security!”Her voice rang sharply through the restaurant, drawing even more attention.I remained where I stood, completely unbothered, certain that nothing was going to happen.Then Lola’s voice cut thro

  • The Rejected Luna Strikes Back!    66. The Confrontation

    ~SaiEveryone’s attention snapped toward us the moment Lola caused a scene.The sight of her stunned me. She stood rigid, an empty glass clenched in her hand, anger blazing across her face.What gave her the audacity to splash wine all over me?I clenched my fists, forcing my voice into a calm tone as I asked,“You splashed a drink on me, huh?”She let the glass fall from her fingers and nodded without hesitation. “Yes, I did. And I’ll do it again and again as long as you keep flirting with my mate—”SPLASH!Before she could finish, I grabbed a glass of wine from Theodore’s side and flung its contents at her, cutting her words short.The liquid streamed down her face, soaking into her clothes. I scoffed, staring her down.“You like that? Next time you try to act like I’m beneath you, I swear you’ll get far worse than just a splash.”The tension around us thickened instantly. Whispers spread like wildfire—people pointing, murmuring, forming their own judgments.Lola’s composure finally

    ~SaiThe moment my words settled in the air, Theodore froze.The shock in his eyes gave him away completely—he hadn’t expected that from me. Not even close.Good.I had come prepared for him.And that drink… why would I ever touch it? Poisoned or not, I wouldn’t take anything from a murderer’s hands. Getting close to him had never been about trust—it was strategy. I needed answers. I needed to understand him, to find a crack, a path… something I could use to strike when the time came.But then again… why am I really here?Theodore slid the drink aside and let out a quiet breath.“It’s okay if you don’t trust me, Sai,” he said, his voice low. “But I guarantee you, I am not a murderer—”“Wouldn’t it be better if you saved your lies for another day?” I cut in sharply. “You called me here for a reason, Theodore. I’m here now. So tell me—why?”For a brief second, something flickered across his face. I caught it—the way his gaze lingered, the tension in his expression. It was a strange mix

  • The Rejected Luna Strikes Back!    64. A Poisoned Drink?!

    SaiIn that instant, I hung up the call.I still couldn’t wrap my head around what Theodore had just said—that we should meet up because he had something important to tell me.Something IMPORTANT?What could possibly be so important that it couldn’t be said over the phone? Why insist on seeing me in person?I let out a deep sigh as I started the engine of my car.The truth was, the last thing I wanted was to meet someone like Theodore—a murderer. Yet, despite my reluctance, I found myself heading to the location he had given me.It wasn’t my choice. Not really.But whatever it was, I needed to hear it for myself.I drove straight to Valentino’s Garden, and the moment I arrived, I spotted him immediately. He was seated, his attention fixed on his phone.Just the sight of him irritated me.Honestly, I never imagined I would willingly sit down for a one-on-one conversation with Theodore. A man like him? Never.I brushed a strand of hair behind my ear, steadying myself.I wasn’t here for

  • The Rejected Luna Strikes Back!    63. Let's Meet Up

    ~SaiThe moment that question was directed my way, I instinctively lifted my gaze to meet Lola’s eyes.But to my surprise… she wasn’t looking at me.Which meant one thing—she hadn’t seen me.A slight crease formed on my forehead.If she wasn't staring at me, Then… who exactly was she talking to?Just then, the sharp vibration of a ringing phone cut through the air.This time around, It wasn’t my phone ringing. The sound came from behind me.“Me?!” a voice responded from my back, laced with confusion.Lola nodded sharply.“Yes, you! What are you doing there? And why is your phone ringing?” she snapped rudely before adding, “Don’t you know you’re disturbing the privacy of your customers—especially mine?”The waiter standing right behind me immediately bowed his head.“I am sorry, My Luna. Please forgive me!” he pleaded.“Get lost!” Lola barked without hesitation. “Make a mistake like this again and I swear, you’ll regret it. I’ll make sure you get fired!”Startled, the waiter quickly h
