last update Last Updated: 2025-09-23 13:54:26

Aiden glanced around the cafeteria at the shocked faces and phones being pulled out to record what had just happened but he shrugged his shoulders and grabbed Maya’s hand without saying a word to any of the staring students.

“Come on,” he said, pulling her away from the table where Phillip sat holding his jaw. “We’re leaving right now.”

Maya stumbled slightly as Aiden tugged her through the crowd of whispering students but she didn’t resist his grip on her hand. She kept her eyes focused on the floor and didn’t look back at Phillip or acknowledge the voices calling out questions behind them.

“Aiden wait,” Jake called from across the cafeteria. “You just punched the president’s son and you can’t just walk away like nothing happened because his dad is going to find out about this.”

“So what,” Aiden called back without turning around. “He deserved it and I’m not sorry I did it.”

They reached their classroom and sat as the bell rang for the next period. Maya slumped down in her chair and

    The next morning Camilla woke up before dawn and immediately began preparing for the journey to find Maya in the human world while Kane and Gavin gathered a small group of their most trusted guards who could blend in among humans without drawing unwanted attention to themselves.“Are you sure you’re strong enough for this trip?” Kane asked as he watched Camilla pack supplies into a travel bag. “You haven’t been eating properly for days and this could be a long and difficult search if we don’t find her right away.”“I’m going with you whether you think I’m ready or not,” Camilla replied firmly as she continued gathering items they might need. “Maya is my friend and I’m not staying behind while you go looking for her in a world I don’t understand.”Gavin knocked on the chamber door and entered carrying maps of the human settlements in the area where Maya’s scent had been detected. “I’ve marked all the possible locations where she could be staying,” he said as he spread the papers out on

    Meanwhile at ShadowFang pack territory Kane stood outside Camilla’s chamber door and knocked gently on the wooden surface for what felt like the hundredth time that week. He had been trying to get her to open the door and talk to him for days but she continued to ignore everyone who attempted to reach out to her.“Camilla please,” Kane said through the closed door. “You need to eat something and you can’t keep shutting everyone out like this because it’s not healthy for you or helpful for finding Maya.”There was no response from inside the room and Kane exchanged a worried glance with Gavin who was standing beside him in the hallway. They had both been taking turns trying to convince Camilla to come out and join the rest of the pack but she had completely withdrawn from all social contact since Maya’s disappearance.“Let me try talking to her,” Gavin said as he stepped closer to the door. “Camilla it’s Gavin and I brought you some soup that the kitchen staff made especially for you b

  • The Rejected Luna   Chapter Forty Three: Stay Away from me

    Maya stared at Aiden in complete silence for several long moments as his words echoed through the quiet house and she tried to process what he had just confessed to her. The wet towel lay forgotten on the floor where it had fallen when shock had caused her to drop it after hearing his unexpected declaration.“Aiden,” Maya finally found her voice and spoke his name quietly. “How old are you exactly?”The question seemed to catch him off guard and he shifted slightly in his chair before answering. “I’m eighteen,” he said as he turned to look at her more directly. “I turned eighteen three months ago right before you came to live with us and Mom threw me a small birthday party.”Maya’s eyes widened as she absorbed this information and realized the implications of what he had just told her. “I’m twenty four years old Aiden,” she said slowly and clearly. “There’s a six year difference between us and that makes what you just said very complicated.”Aiden’s mouth hung open in complete surpris

    Maya paced back and forth across the living room floor while biting her fingernails and glancing at the clock on the wall every few minutes. She had been pacing for over an hour since Phillip and his men had taken Aiden away and her mind kept racing with terrible thoughts about what they might be doing to him.“Is he alright?” she whispered to herself as she stopped in front of the window and looked out at the empty street hoping to see headlights approaching their house. “What are they going to do to him and how long will they keep him there?”She grabbed handfuls of her silver hair and pulled it tightly until her scalp began to hurt from the pressure but the physical pain didn’t distract her from the fear and worry that was consuming her thoughts. She had never felt so helpless and frustrated about not being able to protect someone she cared about.Back at the president’s mansion Mrs Katerina was still kneeling beside Aiden in the stone courtyard and examining the deep cuts across h

    Maya’s breath hitched as she stared at Phillip standing on their front porch with a dark bruise spreading across his jaw from where Aiden had punched him earlier that day. Behind him stood three enormous men wearing black suits and stern expressions that made it clear they were not there for a friendly visit.“Phillip,” Maya whispered as she took another step backward and bumped into Aiden who was also frozen in shock at the sight before them. “What are you doing here and who are those men with you?”“Hello Maya,” Phillip said with a smile that was completely different from the warm expression he had worn during their conversation at lunch. “I came to collect your brother for a little lesson about respecting his betters.”Aiden straightened his shoulders and moved protectively in front of Maya even though the three large men looked like they could overpower him without breaking a sweat. “If you have a problem with me then we can talk about it,” he said firmly. “But leave Maya out of t
