All Chapters of Pursuing My Rejected Luna: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

SkyeThe summit is being held at the Silvercrest Estate—a neutral territory that hosts regional Alpha gatherings.It's a massive property with a main house that can accommodate twenty Alpha pairs, plus numerous guest cottages for attending pack members.I've been there before. Years ago, before I was mated. It's beautiful. Elegant. Exactly the kind of place where appearances matter more than truth.Perfect.I go through my wardrobe carefully, selecting dresses that hide my growing belly while still looking elegant. Empire waists. Flowing fabrics. Nothing too tight or revealing. At sixteen weeks, I'm showing enough that careful observers might notice. But with the right clothing and strategic positioning, I can hide it.Now that Jaxon knows, I’m not sure why it matters so much anymore. But it still feels like something I want to keep just for me. For now.I prepare mentally for seeing Nicolai in a public setting where we'll have to maintain careful distance. Where every glance will be m

NicolaiThroughout the first full day of events, Skye and I maintain our distance.When we pass in hallways, it's with polite greetings. "Alpha Woolf." "Luna Vale."When we're seated near each other at functions, we make brief, neutral conversation about trade agreements, regional pack politics, and I’m struck by just how knowledgeable she is. It’s clear her role as Luna of Ironwood pack is more than surface level. Still, our interactions never venture into anything personal. Nothing that could be misconstrued. We're never alone. Never too close.But I'm hyperaware of her every movement. The way she touches her stomach when she thinks no one is watching. The exhaustion she hides behind her Luna smile. The tension in her shoulders whenever Jaxon speaks.I ache to reach for her, to pull her close and rub her back, stroke her silky dark hair, to soothe her. But it’s not my place. Not yet. So I distract myself by watching Jaxon too. I watch his possessive hand on her back. The way he mon

SkyeThe first call I make is to Diana. I tap my fingernails nervously on my desk while I wait for her to pick up. When she does, I don’t even give her a chance to speak. "I'm ready," I say when she answers. "I need to file for divorce. Now.""Oh, sweetheart." Diana's voice is full of relief and concern. "Are you sure?"I swallow down my irritation at that question, reminding myself she’s only asking because she’s worried for me. But she doesn’t need to be. We’ve been over this, and I know it won’t be easy. But that’s why we have a plan in place. "I've never been more sure of anything." I tell her confidently, hoping she hears the certainty in my voice. "Then we'll support you. Whatever you need." She assures me. I thank her and ask her to put my father on the phone, knowing he’s nearby. He’s never too far from her side, a fact I’m trying to accept more and more. "I need you here," I tell him , skipping all the pleasantries. "I'm filing for divorce from Jaxon, and I need the pack'

Jaxon Thankfully, the council doesn't make an immediate decision. I have a feeling it wouldn’t go my way if they did. "We need time to deliberate," Elder Patricia says. "To consult pack law. To consider the implications for pack stability.""How long?" Skye asks."Three days. We'll reconvene then for individual testimonies from both Alpha Jaxon and Luna Skye." Elder Graham's expression is grave. "This is not a decision we take lightly."The session ends, and I watch Skye leave with her father and Diana flanking her like guards.She doesn't look back.Over the next two days, I can almost feel the pack dividing.Some support Skye. I hear it in whispered conversations that stop when I enter a room. See it in the sympathetic looks pack members give her, the way they go out of their way to be helpful to her or wish her well.They've watched how she's been treated. How hard she's tried. How gracious she's been even in the face of humiliation.Others support me. Traditional wolves who belie

Skye After my testimony, Diana and my father give theirs."The Greenwood River Pack will accept Skye and her child," my father states formally. "She will not be rogue. She will have safety, protection, and the full support of our pack."Diana adds her testimony about Dalton's imprisonment, how I helped when Jaxon refused, how I've maintained grace under impossible circumstances.Then pack members speak.The beta couple who witnessed Jaxon leaving me in the storm speak first. Their testimony is emotional, damning. I think I see Elder Patricia even flinch when they describe the conditions I was left to fend for myself in, with no supplies or adequate source of warmth. I shiver at the memory. The housekeepers who watched Cassandra move into the Alpha house, who were asked to cater to her needs as if she were the Luna, describe my quiet dignity in the face of humiliation.Some of the guards who always traveled to pack functions as part of our protection detail talk about the coldness Jax
