~~~~Kane~~~~

Do you know that Ridgewood had never felt so calm as it feels this morning?

You know all those sharp interruptions from Anya's reports, those unexpected corrections from contract, that very presence that makes every decision I take feel heavy. The silence inside my office should have felt heavy and empty, but yet, it just felt like that control I was on the edge of losing had finally returned to my hands.

I had gotten into the office today feeling more than better. I leaned back o

  • THE REJECTED LUNA   CHAPTER 39: WHEN IT STRIKES.

    ~~~~Meena~~~~Tyran's words had really struck something. It wasn't that enough to shake Kane, or enough to make him question anything, but it was really enough to irritate him. And that irritation was very useful. Because already irritated people often get easier to be guided, especially when they already trusted the person standing beside them. A satisfied smile lingered on my lips after Tyran left Kane's office. I shifted beside Kane, my fingers lazily tracing the collar of his shirt as I pretended not to notice the faint tension that's still made Kane's jaw squeezed.I tilted my head towards the side as I studied his face intently. His eyes were simply fixed on the city that stretched beyond the glass wall in his office, even though I doubt if he was truly looking at anything his eyes was fixed at outside. It looked as if his thoughts were somewhere else, still replaying that confrontation, those words Tyran uttered, and that subtle implication hidden inside that criticism. Funny.

    ~~~~Kane~~~~Do you know that Ridgewood had never felt so calm as it feels this morning? You know all those sharp interruptions from Anya's reports, those unexpected corrections from contract, that very presence that makes every decision I take feel heavy. The silence inside my office should have felt heavy and empty, but yet, it just felt like that control I was on the edge of losing had finally returned to my hands.I had gotten into the office today feeling more than better. I leaned back on my chair, one of my arm rested loosely on the armrest, while the other hand absentmindedly traced the edge of a document I wasn't actually reading at all. The numbers that rested on the page blurred together, it wasn't because they seem unclear, it was because my attention had long drifted somewhere else.Meena.She sat Infront of me, though not for long in that position before she finally shifted closer within minutes like she had always did whenever she wants to clear the distance between us

  • THE REJECTED LUNA   CHAPTER 37: THE BLOODLINE.

    ~~~Kane~~~~A faint smile tugged at the corner of my lips. Peace… that was what it felt like. Just peace. No argument, no stubborn rejected mate looking at me with wounded eyes. Nothing like endless tension hanging over every conversation. Just silence. Calm. Exactly what Ridgewood needed and just exactly what I needed. The morning sun poured through the floor to ceiling windows of my bedroom chambers, casting golden strikes across the dark furniture and for the first time in a very long time, I woke up without that irritation clawing at my nerves.Meena laid beside me on the bed, she was still asleep. I couldn't help the faint smile that tugged at the corner of my lips as I stared at how her long dark brown hair spread across the pillow.I pushed aside the blanket and walked down the balcony, the pack grounds just stretched endlessly before me. Warriors were already training and every servant kept moving within buildings. The pack's morning market was already opening. Life just bas

  • THE REJECTED LUNA   CHAPTER 36: THAT ALPHA.

    ~~~~Anya~~~~I woke up without that pain that always crushed my mind every morning. Today, it wasn't there. The realization alone came slowly, because now, there was no Ridgewood or Meena or even Kane. Just silence. A very peaceful silence. I just remained lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling of our new apartment for several seconds, allowing the feeling to settle down inside me. A small smile quietly found its way onto my face. You know, it actually felt strange smiling like this. Like, not forcing it, not pretending or wearing it like a mask. The apartment wasn't luxurious, and it wasn't the type of place Alpha's lived in. But this is ours. Mine and Talia's. And that thought alone made it more valuable than any room I had ever occupied in Ridgewood.I slowly sat up on the bed and stretched as the sunlight pouring through the window warmed my skin. I could already hear the distant traffic from outside, human voices, car horns, just normal voices. No wolves. No Alpha commands t

  • THE REJECTED LUNA   CHAPTER 35: HIS DECISION.

    ~~~~Talia~~~~When I actually realized that something was definitely wrong with Anya wasn't when she accepted Kane's rejection. It wasn't even when she walked away from Ridgewood, and it wasn't even when with a teary face and voice full of pride, when she told Alpha Kane she'd survive without him. Not at all.The moment I watched her collapse into unconsciousness in the arms of a complete stranger was the very first time real fear gripped me.Even now as I'm seated on the edge of the hotel bed while the morning sunlight poured through the curtains, I could still vividly recall that moment. From the restaurant, to the rogues, to that fight and the way Anya had moved, the way she had looked and the way power had radiated off her body. I wrapped my arms tightly around myself as an instant chill ran down my body. Something about that night still didn't sit right at all. I knew that Anya had always been brave, protective, kind and even stubborn. But a fighter? Not at all! Not like that ag

  • THE REJECTED LUNA   CHAPTER 34: NO DEMANDS

    ~~~~Anya~~~~The moment I turned and found out that Talia was actually following me, a wave of satisfaction flushed over me. I didn't look back, not once and not even when I heard Talia kept calling my name. Not even when my legs felt weak. I just kept walking. The sun from the afternoon hung high as we walked down the unfamiliar road. Several cars moved past us. Humans filled the sidewalks. And strangely, the scent of wolves was getting thin. That actually comforted me in many ways. Because now, I wasn't surrounded by pack members who always whispered behind my back. I wasn't surrounded by those wolves who stared at me with pity or surrounded by people who knew I was a rejected mate. Here on this unknown street, I was simply a nobody, and for once, being a nobody felt normal and peaceful. Talia kept walking quietly beside me. Which was so unusual. Because Talia, normally, would be talking. Laughing. Complaining. Or making fun of someone or something. But now as she remained silent

    ~~~~Anya~~~~Once upon a time, my father used to breath, and now? I'm mechanically preparing for his final resting place. It felt like a sheer shock that haven't quiet settled into grief yet. Just a quiet numbing routine as I gather the needed materials, wrestling with the surreal heartbreaking rea

    ~~~~Talia~~~~Did you know that I couldn't even sleep? Not even for a second. Everytime I close my eyes, I hear it again and again.“...for when Ridgewood falls.” The weight of those words pressed down on me, haunting my every thought. Lingering like a dark spell. Like, Ridgewood? Falling? That

    ~~~~Anya~~~~“His heart is failing.” The impact of those words lingered long after they were spoken. They didn't just echo. But they shattered.The surroundings faded into a haze as the doctors rushed forward again. Their actions were rushed, voices turned into overlapping shouts, into a chaos I c

  • THE REJECTED LUNA   CHAPTER 11: Things; Falling Apart

    ~~~~Kane~~~~Some minutes ago, I was just staring at someone through the glass door from my office. But, she never looked up. I just watched, and waited for that one shift in posture, you know that one lift of the chin. But it just was a distant shore I could not reach. I just stared at the space i
