All Chapters of Pursuing My Rejected Luna: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Elana POVI try not to look at Victor and Lara, but it is hard when all eyes are focused on them. Her arm is linked with his, and she is smiling and waving at the crowd like she is some sort of princess. When I saw her on the arm of the prince, I had foolishly hoped that she would leave Victor alone, but I was mistaken. Now, it would appear that Victor has decided to choose her as his second chance mate. I shouldn’t care, but the pain of his rejection still rings in my chest, like it just happened yesterday. It makes me wonder if I will ever get over this.“Do you want to go home?” Damon whispers in my ear.I turn my eyes away from the new couple and smile at Damon. “I want you to dance with me.”His eyes sparkle with excitement and a hint of mischief. “I thought you would never ask.”Our fingers lace together, and I ignore how right they fit together. We held hands many times growing up, but this feels a little different. ‘Damon is a friend,’ I whisper to myself, but that do

Elana POVI refresh the screen on my phone. Surely there is a mistake. It is the first day of the month, and Victor didn’t deposit the child support for Gabby. Without that payment, I will barely be able to make this month's rent. I have been putting money away to move away from the Midsummer Pack, and now I worry that I will be stuck here forever. “It was a mistake,” I mutter under my breath. “He just forgot.” No matter how much I try to tell myself it will be okay, it doesn’t settle my nerves. I can’t stay in this pack, not now that I know Victor is going to marry Lara. Gabby won’t be home from daycare for another two hours. I had planned on using that time to catch up on my studies, but I guess I need to hunt down Victor. I pull into the pack house driveway, and my hands tingle with nerves. I sit in my car for several moments before I am able to encourage myself to get out. Even then, walking into the pack house is another feat.This place used to be my home. I deco

Victor POVLara is sitting across from me with her bottom lip pushed out into a ridiculous pout. She isn't getting her way, and now we all must suffer. From what I understand, she caused a scene today at the hospital and now wants me to fire the staff that was on duty."I am not dismissing the hospital staff because you threw a tantrum. That is not how we do things in the Midsummer Pack. They did nothing wrong."I can’t believe I have to speak to her like she is a child. Her bottom lip begins to quiver, and I prepare myself for the tantrum that is brewing."If I am to be your Luna, you should be on my side. They disrespected me."I have to keep myself from rolling my eyes. "You are not yet the Luna of this pack, and I spoke to the hospital. Curtis explained what happened."She scoffs loudly. "He lied."I chuckle sarcastically at her attitude. "You don't even know what he said. How do you know he lied?"Crossing her arms over her chest, she mumbles obscenities under her breath. El

Elana PovI push the cart through the library. The wheels squeak loudly and draw attention to me. Students glare at me and roll their eyes when I mutter apologies. Even though the college is owned by the Midsummer Pack, most of the people don't know who I am. It is one of the only places I can go to avoid gossip, but that doesn't mean I have made friends.I slip between the bookcases and sigh in relief when it is empty. One by one, I take the books from the cart and put them in their place. There is something comforting about the smell of books, and I lose track of the time. It isn't until the light fades from the windows that I realize that I have stayed too long.Quickly, I grab my things from the back room and clock out. Alexis will be angry if I am late again. Cold air nips at my cheeks when I step outside. wrapping my arms around myself, I make my way to my car.Hairs prickle on my neck, and I get the feeling I am being watched. I glance over my shoulder for a moment before wal

Elana POV“I could ask him the same thing,” Victor retorts. Damon shifts Gabby in his arms as if he is shielding her from the argument that he knows is about to take place. He chuckles a little too loudly, and she stirs in her sleep. “I am doing the job that you abandoned. You know, taking care of your mate and your child.” His words sting a little, but I try not to be too offended. He is only trying to get underneath Victor’s skin, and by the look of it, it is working. Victor reaches for Gabby, but Damon takes a step back, and a possessive growl rumbles in his chest. “Shit,” I hiss through my teeth, knowing this cannot end well. “Guys, I need to get to work. Can we all yell at each other after my shift?” Victor and Damon both scoff loudly, but Damon is the one who is ready to spew insults in Victor’s direction. “It is something that you wouldn’t have to do if Victor had stayed true to the mate bond.”“Damon,” I gasp his name, but it is too late. The damage has been done.
