All Chapters of Rejected by the Luna Queen: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Jackson's face turns completely dark like a storm cloud as his fists clench tightly under the table. Being completely outdone and humiliated by my lone wolf, a man his mind viewed as a total nobody stray, is absolutely infuriating to his alpha pride."Derek, if this medicine wine was so incredibly valuable to the territory, why didn't your tongue say so earlier?" Malia asks, her beautiful eyes fixed tightly on my face.I reply very calmly, "My mouth did tell your ears, Malia, but none of you would listen to my voice."Talia cannot stand watching my lone wolf get all the attention from the elders, so she mutters angrily, "Big deal, it is just a plain bottle of wine." Then, her eyes glance over at Jackson's rigid shoulders and she says, "Jackson, darling, didn't your hands bring that other special gift for the keep? Show everyone right now!""Jackson, your paws brought Grandpa another gift today?" Malia asks in surprise.Jackson modestly reveals an elegant silver box containing a marble

Talia and the others first shout their bitter insults, then their faces break into gleeful smiles. They think this fool stray deserved to remain a packless nobody for the rest of his days if his mind could not recognize such a massive opportunity.Malia scolds fiercely, her eyes glaring at me, "Derek, your tongue had better rephrase that sentence immediately! Dr. Aicker is a highly distinguished figure across the territories, and your heart should be deeply honored that his mind would even consider taking your name as his apprentice!"Jackson chuckles softly, shaking his head. "Derek's mind must be so completely overwhelmed by our high presence that his brain cannot think straight today. After all, this kind of rare opportunity probably comes only once in a lifetime for a low stray like him!"Stroking his long grey beard, Cedric nods his head with a smug smile, thinking I am just frozen. "I understand your young heart is highly excited by my offer. My mind will give your tongue one mo

Jackson smirks nastily as we walk. "Before returning from the capital packlands, my ears heard rumors that the Bloodclaw Pack Heiress had lowered herself to keep a worthless, packless boy toy around her den. My mind thought it was just cheap gossip, but now..." He shakes his head in mock disappointment, implying that having my low rank around diminished Lydia's high status.The young male wolf standing next to Jackson sneers loudly, "Lydia, our elite circle has so many worthy young Alphas. Why keep such a useless parasite around your den? My mind really doesn't understand your thinking today."Lydia smiles calmly, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light. "That track is absolutely none of your business."Liam Raeken's face darkens instantly with anger. "Lydia, my tongue is just trying to give your heart a friendly warning because my mind doesn't want your rank to make any big mistakes before the elders. Your voice doesn't have to be so rude to my name."Lydia's smile vanishes complete

Cora turns her face to look at my coat with deep disgust. "This bad track is all happening because of your presence, Derek! Thanks to your low rank, Elder Raeken probably doesn't think highly of Lydia's status anymore! Do your eyes even realize what you've done?""Is Elder Raeken's approval really that important to my life?" my brow frowns flatly.Cora sneers loudly at my chest. "Are your ears actually this clueless about the world or is your brain just pretending to be dumb? He is the leader of the Grand Pack Council! Haven't your eyes noticed all those powerful wolves waiting in line with expensive spirit gifts just to curry his basic favor today? One single word from his mouth can easily make or break a wolf's entire pack fortune in this territory."Lydia intervenes quickly, "Cora, stop it this instant. The Hale Bloodclaw Pack isn't going to lose a vital territory connection over a small-minded fool like him.""If maintaining good relations with Elder Raeken is so highly important

Malia feels a sudden, sharp pang of jealousy inside her chest watching Lydia and my frame being so close on the stone. Her heart had been perfectly fine when my wolf seemed completely unremarkable in the den, but seeing my name earn Noah's high praise makes her feel highly uncomfortable."Well, my old wolf will leave you young folks to your fun. It has been a very long day, and my boots still have other urgent council things to attend to in the city. Bye now," Noah says, preparing to leave the stone deck with his Beta entourage."Elder Raeken, please wait a moment!" my voice suddenly calls out.Noah turns his head back with a curious smile. "Yes, Dr. Baldwin? Do your eyes have more beast insights to share with my ears?"My head shakes. "Not exactly an insight, but just a medical reminder for your heart. Your flesh is currently suffering from a very serious internal condition that could easily be life-threatening to your wolf. Without immediate treatment from a master, I deeply fear th
