Hours went by after Enrique, the housekeeper had woken up yet the Luna continued being in a state of unconsciousness.

And when they asked him how he was doing, the young man had stayed dazed. Though present, his eyes had been staring into the distance only comprehensible in his psyche.

“What he is experiencing is what we call an aftershock.” Marc explained, “It's a common reaction to people who have experienced a sudden shift in their perceived reality.”

“Will he be able to talk?” Alpha Lawrence asked. Enrique had not spoken a single word since he came from his deep slumber.

“That remains to be seen.” Marc pried his eyelids and flashed a light yet Enrique didn't even flinch. “He might need more time to process everything he went through.”

Alpha Lewis didn't show it but he worried for Collette. They haven't received any news yet regarding the whereabouts of the rogue yet his son, Jordan remained confined inside the basement.

Half an hour later, Colette’s eyes finally fluttered open.

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   56: Another man's scent

    Selly was suspicious of the stranger in her cottage's intentions. First he invited himself, made himself comfortable and now he was talking about food. What was he trying to do by doing all of those favors? Why was he acting to care as if they were familiar? Was all those sweet words necessary, really? Was all those sugary words just so he could stay? “Can you stay alone for a while as I go find something for you?” He asked. Deep down he didn't want to leave her behind. What if he came back to find she had disappeared again? Then there was a matter of her being sick coupled with the fact that since he arrived the day before, he could smell another person on her. The scent he knew he didn't like was all over her and from the way it repulsed him, he knew it might belong to another man. Just the thought of it wanted to drive him insane. Did she meet another person already? Was his replacement found so quickly? Was the man the person she had been staying with? Was he the

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   55: Call me Ponds

    Jordan waited for Selly to say what she thought her name was because apparently him using the same name he mentioned during when he was rejecting her, left a bitter taste.“My name?”“Yes.” He waited. In his mind, she was playing games and he was willing to wait until she was ready for the conversation. “Well, I do have a name.” She lied.Technically she had one but she just couldn't remember it. Now there was a possibility that her name was actually Selly but she couldn't just trust a stranger.The gears in her mind shifted, finding a name she could come up with but even that ended up being hard, picking a name at random.“Selly,” He bit his lower lip, not knowing what to say.“Ponds.” She blurted the first thing that came to mind.Jordan's pupil widened ever so slightly, what kind of name was that?“My parents named me Ponds.” Another lie. Keepers of the supernatural realm were never born. They never had a history or something called a lineage. They were chosen by the Goddess her

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   54: Who are you?

    Waking up in the arms of a man wasn't something that happened everyday. Well, at least not to her. She had gotten used to being the only person around, with her company being that of birds and animals that she turned to food when need arises. Nothing could have prepared her for that kind of surprise.Just the other day, she had gone to the river in hope to go past it. She remembered finding a cave or tunnel before she felt that indescribable pain that robbed her of consciousness. The next thing she knew, she was back home and a stranger was looking at her like he knew her…For goodness sake she didn't have a single detail about who that man was.Jordan, slowly sat straight.Instinctively, Selly moved back, creating a distance between them. The man was a total stranger and she didn't know what he wanted to do to her. After all, inviting oneself in someone's house was weird, she thought.In her mind, she was plotting countless ways of defending herself if he even lifted his hand to to

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   53: Stranger in her bed

    The sound of whistling wind and nocturnal birds kept Jordan awake, well in a way.The truth was he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to. What if he slept and woke up to realize that it was all but a dream. There was simply no way he was closing his eyes, not when he, at last, had her in his arms. When there was finally peace in her face.Pushing her brown hair away from her face before tucking them behind her ears, he adjusted the animal hide. His eyes were magnetically drawn to her as if he was trying to capture her features and freeze them on time, never to forget that diamond face.With morning light casting its rays through the little spaces between the window and door, he could see his mate better. The physical closeness they shared made her body temperature send signals to places he didn't wish to name. With one leg draped on his and her hand loosely resting on his stomach, she seemed peaceful, content even.Those days he hadn't been able to see her, be with her, had been unbe

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   52: Embrace of a mate

    Selly didn't walk for long when she found herself in yet another dead end.What luck! The vegetation on the cliff side, peculiar, caught her attention.The foot of the cliff was covered in a green web-like tree that covered a good portion of the cliff making it look like a…curtain.A specific spot on the meandering vegetation looked a little darker than the rest, picking her interest even more.Walking closer to the wall with measured steps, she pulled the curtain-like plants and her eyes widened.A cave? She asked herself.Pulling it wider she realised that there was another wall at the end if, then there was a corner on the left. Now that there was light passing through, she realised that there was yet another kind of light casting its shadow on the adjacent wall.Her heart skipped. She was curious and scared at the same time. What if some dangerous animal lived there?Or what if it was a tunnel…leading up to somewhere? In all her decisions she had had to make while surviving th

  • Rejected For Another's Mate   51: Leaving the cottage

    Jordan arrived at his destination and due to the place being not easy to navigate with a car, he packed it at the foot of what seemed to be a forest.Putting the car keys in his pocket, he walked the short remaining distance while eyes were occasionally skimmed on the map on his phone screen.Something felt off though, the more he walked the different the area became. From green and life-like trees to leafless grey and lifeless. Was the GPS not working properly? He asked himself because he doubted anyone lived there.The red dot continued to blink until it came to a stop, signaling that he had reached his destinationWhen he looked up, he was in the middle of dry land with trees as desolate as his soul at the moment.Was this the place? He turned back to see where he left his car, which was meters away and he swallowed hard.Where was the green forest just behind him?What Jordan didn't know was that the moment he stepped foot into the dead-looking forest with leafless trees, his rea
