Pursuing My Rejected Luna Chapter 147
NicolaiAlone in my office is where I do my best thinking. I should be working. But more and more, the work doesn’t hold my attention the way it used to. Today, I find myself thinking about when I first wanted Skye. Not recently. It was much further back than that.We knew each other as children—our fathers' alliance brought our families together at gatherings I mostly remember as tedious. Skye was twelve. I was fifteen. She was entirely unimpressed with me, which I found startling at the time, because most people at that age had already learned to perform deference around the Woolf heir.She hadn't gotten the memo."You're not as interesting as everyone says," she told me once, with the devastating honesty of a twelve-year-old. "You just stand there looking serious."I'd been startled. Then, within a year, I found it funny, the way she never fed my ego or sugar-coated things for me. Then, years later, she became something else entirely—the girl who saw past whatever performance I'd
Pursuing My Rejected Luna Chapter 146
NicolaiEvery time I look at Skye, I’m struck again with awe at how completely she’s changed my world. I've stared death in the face and walked away smiling. I’ve brought powerful Alphas to their knees and laughed as they begged for their life. My days were filled with decisions that ended careers, ended businesses, ended—on a small number of occasions—considerably more than that.I am not, generally, a man who struggles with other people occupying space near me. I note their presence, calculate how much of a problem they’re likely to be, and decide how to handle it. Then I move on with my day. Jaxon Vale has been in my house for nine days, and I am discovering that this requires considerably more of me than I anticipated.Take this morning for example. I'm up early, so Skye doesn’t have to be—Benji had a difficult night, the kind that wears down even her considerable resilience, and I let her sleep through the morning feeding because Rena has formula prepared and I'm capable of hol
Pursuing My Rejected Luna Chapter 145
Skye Nicolai and I make no effort to conceal our relationship from Jaxon—neither of us changes behavior because he is in the house. Nicolai doesn’t sneak in and out of my bedroom, hiding the fact that he sleeps there every night. The times when I'm in Nicolai's office and the door is closed and nobody needs to interpret what that means. It’s our life, not a dirty secret, and we live it openly. Still, I watch Jaxon watch this and feel something that isn't quite guilt. Guilt would require that I'd done something wrong. I haven't. He made choices. I made choices. Both things are true simultaneously and don't cancel each other out.But the not-quite-guilt persists anyway, because I'm human enough—wolf enough—to register when something causes pain for someone in proximity. Even if it's the right pain. Even if it's the consequence of their own decisions."Does it bother you?" I asked Nicolai directly, two nights ago. "Watching him watch us."Nicolai considered this. He always actually con

SkyeDimitri wanders in while I’m working in the office. He has something on his mind but hasn’t figured out how to open the conversation. I know this by the way he shifts his weight from foot to foot and shuffles papers around without really looking at them.“Spit it out.” I tell him without looking up from the report I’m reading. “What makes you think I have something to say?” He hedges, but the faint red tinge to his cheeks gives him away.“I’ve learned your tell. You fidget.” I wave my hand in a “get on with it” motion. He sighs, then launches into his topic, seemingly grateful for the invitation. "There's talk among some of the pack members. About the new living arrangement." He says pointedly."What kind of talk?" "The usual kind. Some say you moved on too fast. Whispers about your baby's father living under the same roof as the man you’re sleeping with." He blushes harder at that. "One woman compared you to Cassandra, suggesting you’re manipulating them just like your sister,
Pursuing My Rejected Luna Chapter 143
Jaxon I give myself exactly twenty minutes to completely lose my shit, internally. Then I get up. I wash my face in the bathroom—more luxurious than any bathroom I’ve ever been in, I notice distantly—and go back to the main house to find my son.Benji is awake, as it happens, and is vehemently and loudly protesting his current circumstances. Skye is with him, normally the exact person who can settle him but having no luck this time. She looks up when I come in, reads something in my face, and hands him to me without asking.I take him. Hold him close enough to feel his warmth, his weight, the way he settles against my chest with the ease of someone who has decided this is acceptable. I feel Skye’s gaze burning a hole in me but I don’t acknowledge it. I’m not strong enough for that yet. Instead, I focus on our son. He grabs my collar and investigates."I know," I tell him. "It's a lot."He doesn't confirm or deny. Just continues investigating. Skye is quiet across the room but I still

JaxonI know within thirty seconds of walking through the front door of the Woolf estate. I'm a wolf. I can't not know.Skye carries Nicolai's scent differently—not the layering that happens from proximity and shared space, not the ambient mixing of two people in the same house. Deeper than that. The specific intermixing that happens when people have been fully intimate, repeatedly, over time. The kind of scent signature that means something has changed categorically, not just incrementally.I know, because despite the distance I created between us, Skye and I were still intimate. Sex in the name duty, of creating an heir, because I could never let myself admit it was so much more. So I know, because she carries his scent the way she used to carry mine. And Nicolai—His behavior has always been protective. Always contained that particular quality of a man who has made a decision about what matters to him and arranged everything else around it. But something is quieter now. More settle

JaxonI stare at my Beta.“What the fuck did you just say?” I couldn’t have heard him right. "Cassandra is my fated mate. She knew too," Noah continues, his eyes never leaving her. I thought I knew what it meant to detest someone but I didn’t, not until this moment. "She's always known. From the f

Jaxon The drive back to Ironwood Pack takes three hours. I don't remember a single mile of it.Noah drives. I sit in the passenger seat and stare at the road disappearing behind us in the side mirror and think about the look on Skye's face. Not the anger. Not the exhaustion. The certainty.You wil

JaxonCassandra admits the original test was faked. She'd bribed the lab technician. Not a complex bribe—just money, and enough of it. The technician has since moved abroad, which was part of their deal.She always knew Liam wasn’t mine. Knew since before he was born. Knew when she came back to Iron

Skye Nicolai doesn't show his outrage when the council asks what, if anything, we’d like to present. He doesn't pound the table or posture or make this about dominance. He just quietly opens a folder. And I know him well enough by now to know that’s when he’s at his most dangerous. From the look
