Chasing His Rejected Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

JADEDamien, the man with the gorgeous eyes, proved he was a great company last night.Though it felt a bit weird when he was flirting with me. Overall, I had a great time and by the time we decided to call it a night, it was almost two in the morning. He did take me home. After much argument.I learnt that he wasn’t easily dissuaded, especially when he put his mind to something.For some reason, I was more interested in dressing up. So I picked up my best blouse and the new pants I had got for work. I spent more time on my hair than I usually did. I tried curling it, which was a failure, so I just straightened it and went on my way.I got into work quite early, most of the floors were empty when I got there. I head straight to my office and decide to catch up on work that I might’ve missed from yesterday. There wasn’t much to do. And I knew it would take an hour or two at most.I was going through some of the notes Willow must have left when I heard a knock on the door and said perso

ATLASThe sound of glass breaking makes me sit up sharply. I blinked and looked around the room before my memories slowly came back. I was in the office.I’ve been stuck in one place since Harrison left. I couldn’t tell if it was from the shock of what he had said or the reality of what will soon happen.“Earth to Atlas.” Andrew picked pieces of the tumbler that must have fallen. “Where are you disappearing off to?” He questioned, standing over me and watching me with obvious confusion.“What do you want?” I asked, clearing my throat and sitting up straight.I brush my hair back and shake my head. None of it clears my thoughts though.“You forgot we had a meeting with the alpha of SideCrest pack?”“Shit.” I cursed and got to my feet. Wearing my suit jacket and nodding toward the door.I turned to find Andrew holding a hand up for me to stop.“Didn’t you say we were running late? Let’s go!”“I already called and told him to reschedule.” I glared at him.“And why would you do that? I di

ATLAS“How do I look?” Annie’s voice pulls me from my distracted thoughts. She was looking at me expectantly as she re-applied her lipstick.A bold red color that almost made her look like she was doing too much. It was a total contrast to the soft pink lip gloss Jade always wore. The former seemed to be begging for attention. While the latter acted like she was doing her best to remain hidden.I couldn’t tell her all that of course, I was already late for the meeting and she would want to go and change. So I smiled and told her what I know will hurry her along.“You look perfect.”She grinned, her perfect teeth shining.She leaned into me from her chair and placed a hand on my chest. Her eyes softened when she spoke.“I want to give the right impression as your partner,” she inhaled slowly. “I know people think I can’t be half of the luna Jade was, but I want to try.”Something heavy settled in my heart at the mention of Jade. I told myself it was because of what she said and how she

ATLAS“Why are you here?” I ask my beta, rounding the car to get into the passenger side.He opens the door on the side and gets into the back beside me. Not the front like he did the other day when he was feeling petty. I wanted to call him out on it just so I wouldn’t be the only one in a shitty mood. But he already had the upper hand over me.“We always go to work together.” He replies with a nonchalant shrug that made me want to dislocate his shoulder.“We don’t.” I left no room for argument.“Well, since you became a bachelor like me and stopped riding with a wife. I thought it would be good to keep you company so you don’t, you know….” He slid his finger over his neck, in the universal slaughter sign and I rolled my eyes.He is really stupid.“Do yourself a favor and stop visiting me.” He chuckles.“No can do, brother. I’m your suicide prevention hotline.”“If you’re not careful. You’ll be calling the cops next and reporting me for murder hotline.”“How would I do that if I am d

JADEThe work day was going normal. I received compliments from the moment I stepped out of the car. And while I tried to downplay it when people asked if I did anything new to my hair or my makeup. It made me feel giddy inside.The best was Jaiya who walked into my office with a smile I couldn’t place on her lips.“I don’t think HR are supposed to be up here this often.” She chuckled at my comment as she settled into the chair in front of me.I cocked a brow but she ignored me.“Are you sending me out?” She teased right back. I laughed and shook my head.“Oh, no. You’re always welcome.”“Thank you.” She dipped down like she was bowing after a great performance on stage. “Did you do something to your hair? Your face maybe?”“Why?” I touched my hair and the side of my mouth, trying to hold myself back from grinning.“Don’t know. You just look like you came out of many men’s wet dreams.”“What?” I choked on my spit as I laughed. Completely shocked because out of all the things I thought
