All Chapters of Pursuing My Rejected Luna: Chapter 221 - Chapter 228

Nicolai Jaxon is formally inducted as my Consort Alpha in a public ceremony we open to all our allies, both Woolf and Ironwood. Not the quiet kind of ceremony that flies under the radar. No, this ceremony is meant to make a statement. One that tells our enemies we’re proud of the life we’ve chosen and we won’t hesitate to protect it. At the end of the ceremony, his name and title is recorded in the formal record of Woolf pack governance. Sometime in the days afterward, documentation will go out to allied packs and interested parties across four territories. In the language of pack law that is old enough to be legitimate and specific enough to be unmistakable:Jaxon Vale now leads the Woolf Family by my side. His word carries authority you’d be wise not to challenge. Jaxon comes to my office before the documentation goes out. He stands across the desk from me—the same desk where we've had several significant conversations, where we've worked through intelligence reports and security

Skye A year has flown by and I have no idea where the time has gone!I suppose that’s not entirely true. They say time flies when you’re having fun. But I think time has a way of slipping through your fingers when you're so focused on putting out fires that you don’t take the time to soak in all the good moments. Going from watching Jaxon choose my sister over me to finally leaving him to navigating a new life, a new relationship, and the birth of our son and new motherhood has felt very much like firefighting. Not to mention falling in love with Jaxon all over again and the complications that presented.But today is Benji's first birthday and we finally have a chance to slow down and celebrate.The garden is set up for it—not elaborately, but warmly. Flowers from the garden. A cake that Rena made and that Benji will almost certainly wear more of than he eats. Just an intimate affair with our closest friends and family. My father and Diana drove from the southern pack. Marco spent t

JaxonBy the time evening rolls around, I’ve spent a long but productive day in the office and I’m more than ready to reconnect with my mate. I make it back to our room and find Skye already waiting on the terrace.She's where she often is at dusk—the particular spot near the railing that looks out over the estate grounds, the garden visible below, the house behind her. It’s become her favorite spot to unwind after a long day and the place we all gravitate to in the evening. Because we gravitate to her. I sit beside her, reaching over to pull her into my lap. She tucks her head under my chin and wraps her arms around my waist, snuggling into me. Neither of us speaks immediately, just content to breathe each other in. This has been one of the things I've learned this year—not every silence needs filling. Some silences are the space where two people can simply exist in proximity to each other and let that be what it is."I've been thinking," I say eventually."About?""The fact that I

Seven Months Later My daughter is born on a Tuesday. She arrives in the early hours—that time before dawn when the sky is still dark blue before dawn. Her name is Mila. And, next to her mother and brother, she is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. She announces herself with considerable volume, which tells me everything I need to know about what the next several years will be like, and I look at her—red-faced and furious and entirely herself—and understand something I've understood only twice before:There are people you would do anything for. She is another one.Skye holds her skin to skin and nurses her before handing her off and drifting to sleep. She's earned it. She's earned everything, this woman—every good thing that comes to her for the rest of her life she has earned, and I intend to spend considerable effort making sure it comes to her.I sit beside her, holding Mila, who has been fed and is now conducting an assessment of her new environment with unfocused eyes that
