All Chapters of The Rejected Luna’s Rise : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Ariana“Well, this is interesting. Good evening, Elders, or should I say good morning, since it’s 1:00 a.m. right now? I didn’t realize you guys were having a family gathering and I wasn’t invited, how sweet.” I said smiling.I wasn’t even angry, maybe a bit surprised yes but not angry. I knew he was still sneaking around with Lily anyway the only thing I was surprised about was that she was here.“Ariana is not what it looks like,” Loretta said, guilt written all over her face. I wanted to laugh, why was she acting all guilty now? She was holding Lily’s son, which I knew was her grandson anyway, with so much love. Damian’s hands were placed on Lily’s back right in front of her, and she seemed to be comfortable with it. My eyes drifted off to his hands placed on her back and it seemed he caught the drift because he immediately withdrew his hands like it burned to touch her.I snorted at the dramatics, wasn’t he just holding her now? Why was he suddenly acting brand new?“It’s not wh

Ariana Finn didn’t answer me right away but I kept looking at him with hopeful eyes hoping he’d at least say something.He stood there just looking at me in amusement like he couldn’t understand why I was asking him this question. I thought he was going to pretend he didn’t hear my question at all with the way he was acting but then he sighed making me know that he was going to say something. “You shouldn’t be asking this kind of question. It’s kind of breaching my privacy, besides I’m just your client not your friend.” He said quietly. Ouch, that hurts but it was the truth. I had no right to ask him such questions as he was only my client and we didn’t have any type of relationship.“I know I am not supposed to be asking such questions but I still am and I really apologize if this is making you feel uncomfortable in any way.”“But I am really desperate for this answer. I need to find a solution to a situation and I need insights for it.” I swallowed. I was now so nervous.He retu

Ariana “You’ve got to be kidding me,” I said laughing at the phone. Was he really serious right now? Calling me at a time like this to say what? Sorry? This was so embarrassing. How was I going to work any longer without hearing the whispers from others? Or maybe this was a blessing in disguise? I just didn’t know what to think any longer. Damian kept calling and I just stared at the phone saying nothing. I let it ring and just looked on, my mind a mess.“Who’s calling Ari? Why aren’t you picking up?” She asked but I didn’t respond. She couldn’t possibly understand what I was going through right now.She snatched the phone from my hands and when she saw the caller was Damian her face twisted with rage. “Do you want me to pick this up for you?” She asked but I didn’t reply.Talking to Damian was the last thing on my mind now. Figuring out my next move was something I needed to do instead. “Fuck it, I’m picking the call anyway.” She announced and before I could stop her she had inde

ArianaWe all looked at Dean waiting for this fabulous idea he was talking about. I didn’t mind it though, as long as this idea was going to benefit me I was in.But if it was something that didn’t serve my needs then I wouldn’t hesitate to reject it. I watched as Dean leaned forward in his chair like he was about to offer a peace treaty instead of another trap.“I have a better idea that would favor everyone,” he said again more calmly this time but no one responded immediately.I looked at Damian and the look on his face was that of relief maybe? He looked like he just released a breath he didn’t know he was holding.He also looked like he’d been waiting for someone else to take control of the situation. Loretta straightened in her seat, just watching her husband with hopeful eyes. Grandpa Darius narrowed his eyes but said nothing while Riley entwined our hands together as we all waited for the big reveal. “Go on,” I said finally, folding my arms.Since no one was ready to say any

Damian The next morning I woke up feeling refreshed with some sort of clarity. The men I have following Ariana told me she indeed went back to her parents’ house last night and she didn’t go to work this morning either. So it simply means she was just pretending not be hurt yesterday and she still cares. I had spoken to Lily yesterday and she was just as shaken about the whole thing as everyone else. She was scared that this new development was going to disrupt their lives. But I assured her I was going to take care of it and ensure no harm comes their way. She tried asking if I was going to confirm their status but I didn’t reply.I didn’t want to tell her any of my next moves because, for some weird reason, I found myself being cautious around her. Besides, there was no status to confirm. There never was.My phone rang just as I finished getting dressed and I picked it up to see it was Cassius.“Alpha,” he greeted. “You’re late and the elders are already gathering.”“I’ll be the
