All Chapters of THE LUNA HE REJECTED! : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 42The Raided Communities Kaius' POV Lucien’s expression darkened. “That place should’ve been sealed years ago.”“It should have,” I agreed. “But it wasn’t.”“You think Rey’s targeting it?”“I think he’s circling,” I said. “Testing boundaries. And there’s something there he wants.”Lucien crossed his arms. “Or someone.”The word stayed between us. “I’ve placed guards nearby,” I said. “Quietly.”“Good,” Lucien replied. “If Rey’s this close, the pack needs to be ready to move.”“They will be,” I said. “With or without knowing why.”Lucien let out a slow breath. “History has a way of clawing back, doesn’t it?”I didn’t answer. Some wounds never healed. They just wait and I didn't want to have a flash back on what happened before.“Keep the warriors on alert,” I said. “I want drills increased at dawn.”Lucien nodded. “I’ll handle it.”He turned to leave, then paused. “Alpha...”“Yes?”“Don’t carry this alone,” he said.I nodded, staring at the door in was standing at. “I won’t.”

Chapter 44The Unforseen Attack Kaius' POV The moment she turned and saw me, I felt it, her eyes solemnly on me like I meant everything. I swallowed hard, I couldn't ignore what I felt inside. That subtle shift in the air. The way the room seemed to tighten around us, like it was holding its breath. Adelaide didn’t step back, didn’t flinch, but her shoulders stiffened, just barely. Anyone else might’ve missed it, but I didn’t.I closed the door behind me quietly and moved farther into the room, letting my presence settle.She stood near the center, I could see the candle flame in her eyes as I stared. I couldn't just look away because it seemed as though I was grounded by her charm. Damn! What is she doing to me? I thought, my mouth a little open, but I couldn't say anything at the moment.Instead, I crossed to the table by the window, my fingers brushing the edge of the wood as I passed. I paused there, facing the opening, letting my gaze travel outward, I watched as the floor l

Chapter 46She's Truly Pregnant? Impossible!The cup shattered the moment it hit the floor as it shattered across the room. The water inside splashed on the floor.Eleanor stood over the wreckage, chest rising too fast, fingers still curled as though the cup was somehow still in her hand.“Useless,” she hissed to the cup.A servant froze near the doorway, eyes fixed on the mess. Eleanor didn’t even look at her.“Get out,” Eleanor snapped.The servant didn’t hesitate. She bowed quickly and disappeared, pulling the doors shut with care.Eleanor began pacing. Her heels struck the floor at different angles as she moved back and forth across the chamber, she placed a hand on her chin and the other on her waist, her eyes distant.Suddenly, her hands trembled as she clenched them into fists.So the alpha didn't just defend her… she is truly pregnant?!! She thought, slapping her thigh as she walked.She had heard it from a whispering maid first, one who had gone pale the moment Eleanor looked

Chapter 48You're In My Chambers Athena glanced toward the door. “Do you think they’ll lock down the entire wing?”“They already are,” Eleanor said. “By morning, no one will remember who first screamed. Only that something dangerous exists.”Athena’s eyes gleamed. “And Adelaide will be at the center of it.”Eleanor rose from her chair and crossed the room slowly. She paused by the mirror, studying her reflection. “She was never meant to stand where she stands now,” Eleanor said quietly.“But she has him,” Athena said.“For now,” Eleanor replied.Athena watched her mother’s reflection. “Do you ever feel… threatened by her?”Eleanor turned. “Threatened? No.”She stepped closer to Athena, lowering her voice. “Annoyed? Certainly.”Athena smiled. “Good. Because I don’t intend to lose to a girl who doesn’t even understand the board she’s standing on.”Eleanor reached out and adjusted Athena’s collar, smoothing the fabric. “That confidence will serve you well. But don’t let it blind you.”

Chapter 50The Alpha’s Chambers Adelaide’s POVThe first thing I noticed was how quiet the room was, as though I was the only person in the room.I remember sleeping with Kaius last night, so why was the room unusual? There was no scent of him either.My lashes fluttered slowly as consciousness pulled me back. The ceiling above me came into view first as I stared.I inhaled since I wasn't getting his scent naturally, and his scent wrapped around me instantly.Kaius.My body stretched before my mind fully caught up. My arm slid across the bed instinctively, reaching toward the space beside me, but he wasn't there.My fingers pressed against the empty sheets, and my eyes opened fully this time.I dragged the pillow closer and then inhaled it. It was soothing and I couldn't tell why it was so. His scent was doing things to my body, things I couldn't just say.Suddenly, the memory of last night clicked and I immediately covered my face as though he was standing there. I wrapped my arms a
