บททั้งหมดของ The Rejected Luna Strikes Back! : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

{Lola}After Theodore left me on that bed, I lay there, tears streaming, my mind replaying the times we used to share. The days when everything seemed perfect. The moments we laughed, touched, and held each other close.Never once had Theodore raised his hand against me. We’d been together even before he broke up with Sai. He loves me—or at least he did. And I loved him too. But now, I don’t know anymore. That love, that attraction I once felt burning between us… I can’t tell if it still exists. Because the man standing in front of me these days is not the Theodore I married. He’s different. He’s a stranger.My fingers twisted into the duvet, gripping tightly as his words echoed in my head.“One more word against Sai, and I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!”The memory lit a fire in me. My chest heaved. My anger burned hotter with every second.I’m losing him. He’s slipping through my fingers. And not to just any woman—But to her.Sai?That worthless orphan?The same

[Lola’s POV] The Doctor’s eyes locked on mine, and I couldn’t look away. His stare was calm yet heavy, pressing me to think faster than my mind could handle. Everything felt blurry—my thoughts, my breathing, even my sense of reason. What exactly could I say right now? My head was empty. Completely blank. Fifty-fifty. That’s what he said. A matter of life and death, and no one could predict which side it would fall. If only Mother could use her powers... but they had abandoned her at this very moment. Unforeseen circumstances like this drained her strength as a sorceress, leaving her weak and helpless. I clenched my hands, unsure of what decision to make. But one thing was clear—this involved her appearance and her life. As painful as it sounded, the best option was to let the surgery go on. If she stayed like this, with her face ruined, her dignity would be destroyed forever. Mother’s appearance must come first. Everything else can wait. As my thoughts battled within me, the Doc

Without wasting another second, I raised my hand and dashed the doctor a dirty slap across his face.The slap landed with a heavy slam, and he instinctively covered the side of his cheek with one hand.Glaring hard at me, he stared as if embarrassed, but I didn’t care. I grabbed him by the collar, tugging him closer, and I couldn’t give a damn that he was old enough to be my father.“Did you just say that my mother’s surgery got encountered with Keloid Scarring?” I snapped, my voice sharp. “Which, if I’m not mistaken, means her face is ruined? You gave her a fucking scar—something that happens during facial surgeries when you mess up—and when I asked you, you had the audacity to say, ‘Exactly, My Luna’? How dare you fuck with my mother and then come out boldly to claim it?”My grip tightened. “Don’t you know I can sue you for that?”The doctor shook his head, still glaring at me like he had something to say—but I wasn’t about to listen to any of his pathetic explanations. Deep inside,

{Lola's POV}The ground hit my back with a crack that sounded like bone. Pain tore through me and I groaned, breath shredding out of me.“Haaarrrrhhhhh!”I’d been thrown hard enough that the wall behind me rattled. This wasn’t ordinary force. Ordinary wolves didn’t push with this kind of gravity-bite — only something extraordinary. Either whoever shoved me was monstrously strong, or they were stronger than me.Who could it be?I looked up, expecting an enemy — and froze.Theodore stood there. Beside him, Sai watched with a lazy smirk. My eyes burned with disbelief.“Theo… Theodore?” I whispered, throat raw. Why was he here? My vision steadied; the shimmer that had clouded it faded until only Theodore filled my sight.“Are you okay, Doc?” Theodore asked the man at his feet, offering a hand.The Doctor took it and rose. Theodore’s gentleness was absurd — the same man who’d helped the one who had ruined my mother’s face. My chest tightened.I pushed myself up and walked straight to him.

{Lola's POV}I was speechless. Not because I didn’t have words—because I didn’t even know where to start.Theodore, again? Seriously? But this time, he was doing it in front of Sai.“Just let her go, Theodore. You don’t have to hit her. She might die!”Sai’s voice cut through the tension as she reached out, touching his back.I blinked. Then I scoffed. What in the actual hell was going on here?Sai? That Sai? The one who can’t stand Theodore on a normal day? Now she’s here, gently touching his back, playing mediator? And telling him not to hit me?As what, exactly—my bodyguard? His emotional support human?I let out a dry laugh, short and sharp, and turned to Theodore.“What’s up now, Theodore?” I said, raising a brow. “You’re raising your hand at me in front of her? Already treating me like I’m the animal in this whole situation?”Theodore brushed his hand through his hair, clearly confused.“Let me make something pretty clear to you, Lola,” he said. “All this drama between us? It’s
