All Chapters of The Rejected Luna’s Rise : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Ariana “What do you want from me, Damian?” I asked, sobbing.I was tired of fighting and screaming, I felt defeated. My hands were tied, I couldn’t reject him unless he did and now he was purposely trying to make things hard for me.What did he mean by he was the Alpha and only he could dictate when a Luna is released? What did he mean by saying that my request was denied?He obviously didn’t love me so why didn’t he want to let me go?“Do you love seeing me like this? You enjoy my misery don’t you?” I said now sobbing silently.He sighed and looked almost irritated, like I bore him with tears. “Sshhhh…. I told you I’ll pay more attention to you from now on, you don’t have to be like this. I know you don’t really mean this. You love me.” He said, too confident in himself.He was right. “You’re right, I do love you, Damian, only that my love is unrequited, it always has been and now I don’t want to love you anymore.” I sniffled.“Don’t say things you don’t mean.” He replied, gritting

ArianaI was doomed. My family was owing Damian $1.7 billion in debt. How exactly are we supposed to pay that kind of money?Was this exaggerated? But of course, Damian wouldn’t lie about such a thing, would he? The silence between us was suffocating, I couldn’t move, breathe, or dare to say a word. I was too stunned to speak.A billion-dollar debt.A blood oath.And a bond I couldn’t break.What exactly had I gotten myself into?He pulled me closer to him and just stared into my eyes like he was studying my face. If it were the old me, I’d have been too shy and immediately dropped my gaze but I was done being the weak Luna who bowed her head.“When your pack fell, I paid off every life debt your family owed. I paid one billion dollars in compensation to the Council for the lands your father lost.”“I gave your parents a home within my territory, in fact, I gave them one of the finest houses in the upper district, a house worth more than forty million dollars”.“Every full moon, I s

Ariana It’s been two days since the fight with Damian and he’s not been home since then. He didn’t even bother to call and I didn’t call him either.If it were in the past, I’d be losing sleep and almost running mad just because I didn’t know where he was, but now I don't even care.His being absent from the house was a major relief for me as I was able to think things through properly.I wasn’t going to stay bound to him because of money. I was going to fight my way out of this sham through blood and sweat and the first step was by telling my parents.I was currently packing my things to leave the house and it was easier since Damian’s piercing eyes were not around to monitor my every move.I folded my clothes into my suitcase and packed my underwear. I didn’t have much to pack.In fact, packing only made me realize how little I had. I barely had anything in this house that was bought with my own money.Damian had bought everything in this house while equally supporting me and my fa

I stared at the Emerald Heirloom resting in the velvet box my father placed in my hands. I couldn’t believe my parents were giving this to me. It was a treasure that they couldn’t bear to part with. This gem was a symbol of the unwavering strength of the Crescent Pack and it felt wrong, utterly wrong, to use this sacred object as the price of my own freedom."Dad, Mom, no," I whispered, shaking my head violently. "I can’t. We can’t part with this. This isn't just money; it's the last piece of our Crescent Pack history." I said.I couldn’t sell this, no, not for this course. Even though our pack had fallen and was in ruins it didn’t mean we shouldn’t protect its treasures. My mother gently closed the box. "Ariana, this jewelry is our insurance. But what good is insurance if our only daughter is being held captive in a loveless mating bond because of debt?”“We have been living under the Alpha’s debt for too long, and although we are grateful to him for his help during our trying tim

Ariana “What did you just say?" Damian demanded, his hands pressing tightly into my waist.I winced in pain and he immediately loosened his grip. "You heard me right, Damian," I retorted, not backing down. "No, that’s not happening. You can’t move out, you have to stay here. We're married, you’re my mate, and Luna, why would you want to move out? He questioned hastily. I didn’t say anything for some time and just looked at him quietly. An outsider would think he was saying this out of concern but I knew better. “I loved you for many years Damian and I’ve been mated to you for three. I stayed faithfully by your side doing my duty as your mate and Luna.”“Still, you cheated on me and betrayed the bond, yet you refuse to grant the rejection.”“I'm really hurt, my heart is wounded, I feel like I’m suffocating and I need time to breathe.”“I’m so overwhelmed. I really have to move out. I don’t even feel comfortable in your presence anymore. Please move out, and I need to cool my wolf,
