Paul's POV:

It was almost afternoon by the time I returned home the next day, and I wanted to see Lexie badly, regardless of what had happened last night between us.

My beta, Jayson, had gone on a tour of the neighbouring packs to find out more about the rogue situation, but had ended up walking right in the middle of an ongoing skirmish. That was why he had sent me an urgent message last night, and now the situation was worsening by the minute.

'I don't have time to act like a lovesick puppy right now…not when so many lives are at stake.'

Thinking this, I parked my SUV in front of the gate and headed straight for my father's chambers.

Knocking twice, I entered his room after announcing myself.

"Father? I need to discuss something urgent with you."

He immediately sat up, and offered me a chair while saying, "Of course, son. What is the matter?"

"The Crescent pack has been attacked by a group of unknown rogues, as reported by my beta. They have sought our help to deal with the grave p

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   120. Clarifying

    Lexie's POV:The palace walls whispered louder with each passing moment.Every hallway I crossed, every maid who looked away without meeting my eyes, every unfinished sentence I overheard, it was all about Paul.About his absence, and my silence… I couldn’t take it anymore.The walls of the palace seemed to breathe Paul’s name in hushed, accusing tones. I locked myself in our room, and let the tears come in violent, shuddering waves. My fingers clutched at the empty space beside me in bed, where his warmth should have been.I curled into the corner of my bed, my body still aching, bandages stiff and uncomfortable against my skin. But it wasn’t the physical pain that undid me, it was the emptiness in my chest. At some point, exhaustion crept in. I could swear I felt his presence… his large, calloused palm grazed against my cheek, his lips brushing my forehead. Warm lips pressing against mine so gently I forgot to breathe.“Paul…” I whispered, chasing that illusion, but I must have

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   119. Honorable?

    Author's POV:Five days had passed since Lexie had returned to the Apollo Pack, battered and bruised all over. And although the physical wounds were still raw, it was the silence she had locked herself into, that had carved the deepest pain into her soul. Her right hand was in a plaster cast, one leg braced tightly and strapped, and her steps were feeble at best. Even so, the doctors agreed she could be discharged from the infirmary, provided she got plenty of rest and stayed away from any stress or confrontation.But the world outside the white walls of the infirmary had not stopped for her to heal first. Lady Samantha stood on her left side, steady on her feet and supporting most of her weight, while a maid supported her from the right, arms gently wrapped around Lexie’s waist to help her down the infirmary steps. The path from the medical wing to the main mansion seemed far longer than she remembered. Her body felt like dead weight. Every step ached, and her head swam.But the

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   118. Infirmary

    Lexie's POV:Lexie's POV:I didn’t know how long I had been asleep this time, but when my eyes fluttered open again, the light was softer. Probably because of the heavy curtains that had been pulled, except for a thin sliver in the corner, which allowed bright sunlight to sneak inside the room. Lady Samantha was sitting on the armchair beside me, holding a book towards that sunlight and thumbing through the pages, her silver-blonde hair tied in a loose bun. The moment I stirred awake, she looked up, her expression softening.“Lexie,” she whispered. “Are you feeling okay, dear?”I nodded slowly, feeling the weight of my body pressing me into the bed. Everything still ached. But something about her question felt a little off, even though I couldn’t place it. She noticed my hesitation and stood up. “Let me call the doctor, alright?”I nodded again. She offered a small smile before walking to the door and stepping outside.That’s when I noticed them, fresh wildflowers, tucked into a

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   117. Waking up

    Lexie's POV:The first thing I noticed was the smell of crisp detergent on the linens that had been worn down by the disinfectant.The chemical smell of antiseptic, and the faint fragrance of flowers… lavender, maybe?My head felt like it was packed with cotton, and when I tried to move, fire shot through my whole body at once. A slow groan of pain slipped past my lips before I could stop it.“Lexie?”The voice was familiar and hopeful, my name whispered with hesitation. I forced my eyes to open, and my gaze landed on the white ceiling above, illuminated by soft light. A few machines beeped in tandem, and just then, a small head with curly hair and wide, worried eyes leaned over me.“Lex…?”“Andy…” I croaked out, even though my throat felt like sandpaper.He beamed immediately, his eyes shining with relief. “You’re awake! You’re really awake!”I blinked again, trying to make sense of this room. I was in the infirmary. Apollo pack. I made it.“You scared us so bad,” Andy continued,

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   116. Lost

    Lexie's POV:I opened my eyes, only to find that the world was still covered with the veil of darkness.The throbbing in my head was making it difficult to blink, but a gasp slipped out of my mouth as I became aware of my surroundings. My body screamed in protest as I managed to push myself up from the damp earth, groaning as the pain shooting through every limb, intensified. My palms stung from scratches, and my clothes were torn, soaked with sweat and something sticky, warm and dark– blood. There was no one around me.No bodies, no voices. Just the hum of night creatures and the rustling of leaves above.I was alone.It was probably midnight, or later. A few hours since we had been ambushed and… no, Lexie. Make sure of where you are first. Forcing myself to take a sharp breathe. The stars offered little comfort with their presence as I tried to find my bearings, but I didn’t dare turn back. I couldn’t go back where our car was supposed to be. The store, that clearing, the clif

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   115. Paul...

    Lexie's POV:“Jonas!”His name tore from my throat as I stumbled forward, blood still ringing in my ears.I knew it was him. Despite the years we spent apart, I was confident I would have known him. That tall, broad back like our dad's; the rigid and fast walk like he was constantly hiding something behind his mask. But he didn’t turn around, not even once. “Jonas!” I screamed again, louder this time. I didn't care if I sounded desperate, I needed him to respond.But still, there was nothing. No flinch. No pause. He was just gone.And suddenly, I wasn't so sure anymore. My brother would have heard my cries, he would never hurt me and my mate like this… that's not Jonas, it can't be, right?My little brother… the boy I used to carry on my back when he scraped his knee, the one I smuggled extra sweets to, under the dinner table… he couldn't be the one walking away from me right now. He couldn't be the man who had disappeared between the pines without so much as a backward glance i

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   114. Stay close!

    Lexie's POV:It was finally time to leave our little bubble of paradise. Paul and I had spent every second of the past week wrapped up in each other, tangled in white sheets and sun kissed sand, laughing, teasing, dancing under moonlight. But now, this trip back home was supposed to be the quiet end to a perfect honeymoon, with my memories filled with yacht rides, ocean breeze and lazy afternoons.We had been driving for hours when we spotted a lonely convenience store in the middle of nowhere– the paint outside was chipping, the neon sign was turned on and flickering even in the evening. I raised my gaze, shielding my eyes with my hand. “One last pit stop?”Paul murmured, kissing my knuckles before pulling into the gravel lot. “Elrick’s Go_ds” was written in peeling red letters. One of the letters was missing, but the location was still quite charming. “Want me to go?” I asked, unbuckling my seatbelt.Paul leaned across to kiss my cheek. “I’ll pump the gas. You grab the snac

    Lexie’s POVThe world outside our window was still dark, but a hint of morning clung to the edges of the horizon. Paul's breathing was still ragged, his forehead damp against mine. We were tangled in the sheets, our bodies slick with sweat and love. His heartbeat thumped against my chest, strong and steady, as if it had finally found its rhythm.He brushed a kiss to my temple, his hand caressing my back slowly, fingers splayed like he was trying to memorize every inch of me. “You okay?” he whispered, voice low and hoarse.“Mmm,” I hummed, too blissed out to form words. I curled into his warmth, nuzzling his neck, where his scent still lingered. “I’ve never been better.”His fingers were soft as they traced idle circles into my lower back, and even though his body was spent, I could feel the way he still wanted to stay connected.He shifted after a moment, gently pulling out with a wince and a groan. I whined at the emptiness. He laughed softly and kissed my nose.“Come here, love…”

  • Scar : the rejected Luna   112. Wife*

    Lexie’s POV:The moment he sat inside the car, I leaned over, hooking my right leg over his thigh and kisser him with all I had. Paul was stunned for a few moments before he responded, his lips moving against mine for a few moments before I pulled back, bringing my lips near his ears, just like he had been teasing me all night. “You like when they call me Mrs. Paul, right? Then I'll show you what it's like to be your wife, daddy…”It didn't take us more than five minutes to reach our mansion, and it wasn't a surprise to me, since I had been straddling his lap all the way back. There was excitement, anticipation and a little bit of fear in Paul's eyes as I closed the door behind me. “Hi, husband…” I grinned, pushing him onto the plush chair by the window, the moonlight casting silver trails over his skin.“Hey, wife,” he murmured back, voice already darkening with need.His eyes burned into mine as I straddled him, my knees on either side of his strong thighs. I could feel the he
