THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 10: WEIGHT IN SILENCE
~~~~Anya~~~~This shouldn't be happening. My fingers trembled at my sides. The sound from the heart monitor was no longer even. It was erratic and terrifying. The beeping was violent. “Clear,” I heard from the corner of the room, my body jerking as the doctors trooped in and surrounded my father, their voices, urgent, sharp, and overlapping. I stood frozen at the side corner of the room, my back still pressed against the wall, and my head full of a million thoughts. “Again!” Then the machine buzzed. My heart slammed against my ribs at the sight before me. “No, no, no,” I kept whispering under my breath. Not him, not now. Not when almost everything in my life is falling apart. “Stabilize him now,” came again, from one of the doctors.“Pulse?” From another.“Faint!” From another. No. I couldn't watch this anymore. I closed my eyes, unable to process anything. My fear grew too much. The images were too much. My legs felt numb, as if they would give out at any time. And yet? I could
THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 9: CRACKS IN COMMAND
~~~~Kane~~~~My gaze drifted back to the neatly arranged documents on the table behind me. The same contract approvals. The same morning reports and results from just last night's work. Yet none of it held. Annoying and tiring. Very annoying. The heart of Ridgewood pack house has never felt this unsettling before. Even inside my main chambers, I could feel it. A shift that is subtle and yet, undeniable. Like something within the domain itself had begun to move with its own permission. The land stretched long, silent, wide, obedient, as I stood near the large window overlooking the Ridgewood territory. Or at least, it used to feel that way either. But now, it changed because it didn't. “You ain't even listening to me, or are you?” Meena's voice tore through the room. Feeling controlled. Not sharp, but intentional. I didn't turn immediately, but just set down the final document on the desk inside my chambers, the sound was final but soft. Only then did I turn my focus to her.She s
THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 8: PRICE FOR LIVING
~~~Anya~~~Something had changed.Not the whispers, because those were still there. But now, they were mixed with something else. Respect. Curiosity. And a little bit of fear, if I should call it that. It was morning, I noticed the changes the moment I stepped into Ridgewood Holdings. The elevator doors opened at the executive floor, and some employees immediately looked towards my direction.Few of them quickly looked away. While others didn't.One of the junior analysts whose desk is close to mine simply nodded at me. “Good morning miss Anya,” he said justly. That alone was enough to make three nearby assistants stare at him in awe. Those same people had been the one whispering about my rejection yesterday. Today they were suddenly interested in being polite to me again.I walked past them calmly keeping a normal face and headed towards my desk. Because I knew for sure why their attitude had suddenly changed. The East Ridge Contract. News easily spread fast in the company. And I kn
THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 7: EITHER MY IGNORANCE
~~~Kane~~~“They're celebrating like it was a war victory,” Meena said beside me with a small laugh.I didn't respond. My silence was dismissive. Because, part of me was still remembering how Anya had stood up during the meeting. When the conference room slowly emptied, executives gathered their files, silently murmuring to each other as they left. Some sounded impressed while others looked relieved. Nearly everyone glanced at Anya before she left.I noticed it. I literally noticed everything. Of course I noticed it. But I kept my expression unreadable as I reviewed the documents laid in front of me. The contract crisis had nearly cost Ridgewood Holdings millions. Nearly. Just nearly. Until one person saved it.Anya. Until she had spoken.I hate to admit it. I leaned back against my chair slightly, my fingers tapping once again at the glass table. The solution she rendered had just been precise and efficient. Annoyingly effective, even if I hate to admit it. She hadn't looked de
THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 6: WHAT STILL LIES.
~~~Anya~~~The next morning felt colder than usual. It wasn't because of the weather, but because of the place I'm headed to. Sterling Corporation—Ridgewood Holdings, stood tall before me. Its glass exterior was reflecting the early morning sunlight as if nothing, not even the air in it had changed. But for me, everything had really changed. For the entire company and for the pack. I walked towards the entrance of the building adjusting the strap of my bag on my shoulder. Yesterday's paused whispers started the moment the glass doors slid open. “Woah, she really has courage. I'll give her that.”“Does she really still work here? If I were her, I would've disappeared.” I had expected this, and so my step never stopped. I passed them confidently. Although, hearing it from them was different. The lobby suddenly felt too big above my head. Too full of watching eyes, and too bright. I kept walking towards the elevator like I had been walking in everyday for the past few years. Except for
THE REJECTED LUNA CHAPTER 5: I REFUSE TO BREAK
~~~Anya~~~Maybe it was just me. But the air felt heavier than usual the moment I stepped out of Sterling Corporation. My heels clicked softly against the pavement as I walked past the glass doors and tried to ignore the whispers that followed me out of the building like shadows.“They said Alpha Kane really rejected her.”“Even at that, she still works here.”“Pathetic. How embarrassing.”I shooo my head then kept it high, but each of their words still found its way into my head and chest like tiny needles. Rejection. Pity. Humiliation.Those were the exact things people saw and say when they look at me now. They no longer see me as the daughter of the Beta anymore. Not the hardworking project manager of Ridgewood Holdings who had helped secure half of the company's contract even in the absence of the Alpha. Just! The woman the Alpha had thrown away!I tightened my grip on my hand bag and kept walking. I had promised myself that the last thing I'd ever do was to cry in front of the
