All Chapters of THE LUNA HE REJECTED! : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 32 Challenge in Council Kaius' POV I pushed back from the table and stood as their gazes followed me again. “My authority as Alpha does not come from parchment,” I said. “It comes from strength. From loyalty. From the bond between me and my Luna.” They paused and looked at each other, as though they were rehearsing what to say next. Then the scribe spoke again. “And yet, Alpha… the law requires her consent.” The words landed heavier than any threat. I felt Magnus still completely. “Repeat that,” I said. The scribe swallowed. “If the challenge proceeds, the Luna must be formally named. She must be given the right to accept or refuse the contest.” My hands curled into fists at my sides. “No,” I said. The word echoed. “She will not be dragged into this.” “That is not for us to decide,” Maeve said gently. “It is for her.” Anger in me. “She is under my protection.” “And under the law,” Rhen countered. “If we deny that, we fracture the pack.” I turne

Chapter 34 The Line That Was Crossed Adelaide’s POV Selene's gaze softened, as she moved closer to me. “Ask yourself,” she added, “who benefits from your waiting.” Immediately, she left without another word, as the door closed behind her loudly. Just then, I started feeling somehow in my body and I wondered what it was. At first, it was only dizziness. A lightness in my limbs, like I’d stood too fast. I reached for the back of the chair, steadying myself. The bond pulled again and I couldn't bear it anymore as the pain bloomed behind my eyes and my knees buckled. I didn’t remember falling. I remember the sound of my heartbeat. Someone shouted as the chambers opened again, but I didn't know who the person was. The last thing I felt before everything went black was the bond snapping tight and breaking something inside me. ____ Kaius’ POV I heard a loud sound at the door and I thought it was a knock, but it wasn't. The guard didn’t knock, he just burst in

36 Kaius’ POV I carried her straight to her chambers, the maids and guards turning away immediately she site us. “I can.. I can walk on my own.” She said, acting so shy, but I didn't listen to her, I walked straight to her chambers. When I got to the front of her chambers, I put her down and took her hand in mine. “You're coming in?!” She asked and that made me look at her and for a second, I thought she didn't want me inside, but I ignored and went in. “I'm sorry about my stepmom, that's how she behaves most of the time.” She said, staring at the floor. I moved closer to her, “by talking down on you? You think that's fair?!” She looked at me, her eyes a bit teary and that broke something in me, but I masked it, not wanting to slip in front of her. “You shouldn't allow someone like her near you, she's toxic..” I said further, moving closer to her, until I was standing right in front of her. She looked at me, as I traced my fingers on her face, my eyes locked to hers.

Chapter 38 Don't Hit Her! Kaius’ POV “You’re nothing but a cheap whore!” The words echoed through the corridor. I was already moving before Eleanor’s hand lifted again. “Stop!” My voice cracked the stone and it echoed very loud. Eleanor froze mid-motion, her palm suspended inches from Adelaide’s face. Her eyes flew to me, wide, shocked, as if she hadn’t expected to be seen. Adelaide stood, her gaze on me as I walked fastly towards them. Something in my chest tightened just by looking into her eyes. I crossed the distance between us in three moves. Eleanor dropped her hand slowly, her fingers curling at her sides. “Alpha,” she said, trying to act as though she hadn't done anything. “This is a family matter….” “You do not speak,” I said quietly, staring straight at her. Adelaide didn’t look at me. She was breathing shallowly. I never expected Eleanor to go this far, but she had and has tested my patience more than enough in a time. I turned fully to Eleanor. “What

Chapter 40 The Shadows She was inside the room before I could even step aside and the door closed behind her. She looked at me softly, almost teary and I held her still, not quite understanding why she was reacting that way. "Your cheek," Paula said in a lower tone. "What happened, who did this to you?" My throat got tight and then I looked away immediately, I didn't want to share all the details just yet. "It's nothing," I said without thinking, even though the lie tasted bad. Paula didn’t seem to believe it. She led me to the bed and told me to sit down. Then she crouched down in front of me so we could see each other. Paula said firmly, "It's not nothing. Your eyes are still glassy." I heaved, staring straight at her as though that would calm her, but it didn't. I twisted my hands in my cloth, acting nervous. “My stepmother slapped me,” I said finally, and Paula went still at once. “She what?” “I didn’t even see it coming,” I continued, the words spilling no
