All Chapters of The Rejected Luna Is the Hidden Heiress: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

Ava’s POVShe didn’t linger. She pulled the door open, stepped out, then eased it shut behind her.Adrian Thorne was waiting at the far end of the hallway. He had been leaning against the wall, but the second he saw her, he straightened up at once. His gaze dropped to her wrist. The blood there still hadn’t fully dried.The next second, he was already in front of her. He took her hand and carefully turned her wrist over."He bit you."It wasn’t a question. He already knew.Ava lowered her eyes and glanced at the wound."Just a scared little wolf pup." She tried to pull her hand back. "It’s really not a big deal."Adrian didn’t let go. His brows pulled together even tighter. He lowered his head, and the tip of his tongue brushed softly across the wound.An Alpha’s saliva carried healing properties. The warm touch made the pain fade fast, almost instantly."Ava." His voice was low, heavy. "Don’t make excuses for someone who hurt you."She looked at him. "He’s only six.""That doesn’t ch

Bella's POVA day later, Bella had Vivian and Selena over to her apartment in the neutral zone.She seriously couldn’t stand that basement bar anymore.Her finger hovered over the send button on her phone. On the screen was a two-thousand-word anonymous exposé, the headline screaming in harsh red letters: The True Face of the Crawford Heir: The Manipulator Behind the Fake Kindness.The whole piece ran over two thousand words, and every single line had been polished and planted on purpose.Vivian sat across from her on the leather sofa. She had chewed her fresh French manicure until the edges were wrecked, which said more than enough about how nervous she was. Selena stood by the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of pink champagne in hand, her body tipped lazily against the frame."Hit send already, Bella," Vivian urged. She shot up from the couch like an anxious little prairie dog.Bella curled her lips into a faint smile. They had spent a thousand dollars hiring a ghostwriter for

Ava’s POVSelena’s little stunt last night didn’t throw her off one bit. The next morning, Ava showed up and got on with work like usual.Nine o’clock sharp.She pushed open the glass doors of Crawford Group headquarters.Her heels clicked against the marble floor, crisp and steady. A second ago, people had still been chatting in the lobby, but the moment she walked in, everything just... cut off.The receptionist, Nina, kept her head down and pretended to stare at her computer screen. Normally, she would’ve smiled and said good morning. Not today. She was gripping a pen so hard her knuckles had gone white.Ava headed for the elevator. A few employees from Marketing were standing there already. The second they saw her, they shuffled back two steps. One turned his face away. Another stared at the floor like it suddenly got super interesting. Not a single one of them looked at her.She pressed the elevator button. The metal doors slid open, and she stepped inside.None of them followed.

Damon's POVHe turned and walked to the liquor cabinet in the corner of the living room, pulled out a bottle of whiskey, poured half a glass, and knocked it back in one shot, letting the burn slide straight down into his stomach.Then he slammed the glass onto the bar. Glass hit marble with a sharp crack that echoed through the room."Done talking?" He turned around and looked at them in silence.Klaus frowned hard. He clearly wasn't used to hearing that tone from him."What kind of attitude is that?" Klaus stepped forward, his face darkening."The kind an Alpha should have." Damon walked right up to him. He was half a head taller than Klaus now, so he straightened fully and looked down at him without blinking."This is my territory." He pointed at the floor beneath them. "And this is my house.""The two of you standing here, yelling at the current Alpha of the Darkmoon Pack? Yeah, you've already crossed the line." His eyes locked on Klaus, cold and steady.Klaus lifted his hand, aimi

Catherine’s POVJax used to be really obedient. Back when they got married, Klaus flat-out refused to approve it.He looked down on Jax’s family for being too small, too ordinary, not nearly valuable enough to bring real benefits to the Darkmoon Pack.But Catherine insisted on marrying him anyway. She wanted to go against Klaus. She wanted to prove she could run her own life. So she dragged Jax into her world.If she told him to go east, he never went west. She told him to quit his job and work for the Darkmoon Pack’s company, and he said yes without a fight.She controlled him. And honestly, she liked that feeling.Klaus controlled Damon Ashford, and she controlled Jax.She had even mapped out Jax’s whole career for him. What kind of job he should take, who he should know, what he should wear, when he should talk business. She wanted everyone to see that the man she chose was the best.As long as he followed the road she drew for him, he was supposed to succeed.But later, he ran.He
