The Rejected Luna’s Revenge by Lora

Chapter 68

? EMERALD POV?

“How did you even manage to manipulate Lina into accepting to be on your side? Do you even think she is trust worthy?” Penny asked me curiously.

“At this point, I don’t care” I said as I leaned on the arm chair in my office.

“You should care babe, we have come too far to start taking such expensive risks and you know it she said and I sighed.

“So what was I supposed to do? Miss out on the opportunity to know Jayden’s plans?” I asked and she swallowed down nothing.

“This whole thing is beginning to freak me out, because if it’s up to me I’ll prefer we end this revenge game. But then, Blake wouldn’t have it” she said and I stood up from my chair.

“There is no cause for alarm, I believe we can handle things if we work in one accord” I said and she sighed softly.

“Does she know you are Emerald?” she asked with eyebrows raised.

“She doesn’t know” I said and Penelope sighed in relief.

“In as much as I still think involving Lina is a risky move, I want to believe something lucrative will come out of this” she said and I smiled.

“We just have to be ready for whatever outcome we get at the end” I said and Penelope. gave a nod.

“And Xavier?” She asked with eyebrows raised.

“He proposed to me and since then, I have been unraveling different mysteries in the pack house. Secrets that would ruin a lot of things” I said and Penny stared at me curiously.

“Is it something I should be worried about ?” she asked and I shook my head.

“The less you know the safer you become” I said and pinched the bridge of my

Gabriel Fernandez died mysteriously and a lot of things have been going on behind the scene, everything points to the fact that there is a bigger enemy who we have no idea about.

“Just be careful Rachel, you are all I have left” she said and I knew just how much this whole thing was getting to her. She is the only human amongst us and she can’t even

protect herself if the need arises.

“I will be careful” I said and she pulled me into her arms emotionally.

After a busy day at the office, I drove back to Xavier’s pack with different things going through my mind.

“Where are you” my phone pinged with a text from Jax as I made my way into the pack house.

“On my way inside the pack house I texted him and it wasn’t too long when I received a phone call.

“What is it?” I asked as I try to lool around, trying to see if anyone was on sight.

“Lina is here and she wants to speak to you” he said and I turned making my way towards my car.

I arrived at their house with a scarf wrapped around my face and dark shades on my eyes, Immediately Lina saw me she stood up and walked over to me.

“I did it, I managed to make him believe am on his side” said she and stared at her.

“You are scared Lina, I can see it in your eyes” I said and she sighed softly.

“Jayden is planning something huge, I tried to get him to tell me but he has been. reluctant so far. It makes me wonder if am even safe” she said with her eyes clouded in hurt.

“I know a lot about Jayden, we have done a lot of bad things together to overthrown Xavier and take over as pack leaders…..” she trailed.

“It makes me wonder what he would do to me when he finds out am now on the team that wants to kill him” she said crying.

“Breathe ….. “I said and she just cried.

“I am

fine” she stuttered out as her voice broke at the edge.

“Jayden does not know we are connected in this game, it is up to you if you want to make it known to him or not…” I said and she stared at me vunerably.

“That man ruined you Lina, he made you desire things that were never yours. You are a survivor today because, Jax and I got there in time to save you” I said and she just cried silently.

“Jayden is the last person on earth that should be making you feel sentiment” I said and she give a nod.

“We don’t need to meet physically, you can contact us….”I trailed and Jax gave her a mobile phone.

“Stay alive” I said as my mind went over to the fact that we lost Gabriel Fernandez mysteriously. Jax saw Lina off and when he came back, I was sitted quietly on the chair.

“She is always nervous, Jayden might just figure out something is up without stress himself” he said with an irritated look on his face.

“Jax, it’s not easy to turn against someone you love” I said and he chuckled.

“I can see you are speaking from experience” he said and I rolled my eyes.

“I loved Xavier to a point, it’s not my fault that he didn’t feel the same way about me” I said and Jax sighed softly.

“You are still inlove with him Rachel, accepting that would make things less complicated” he said calmly.

“That is going to complicate things more than they already are….” I said and he smiled.

“What if there is more to this whole thing?” he asked and I stared at him not knowing what to say.

?. XAVIER POV?

“We need to start building X constructions from somewhere, sitting down without doing anything will not help us run the affairs of the pack” I said in the pack meeting and some of the elders just watched me talk without saying anything.

“You guys are not going to say anything?” I asked curiously.

“What do you expect us to say Alpha Xavier? You are the leader of the pack, and as the leader it is your duty to protect the members of the pack. So far, I don’t know what to say about your leadership as the Alpha” he said and I stared at him.

“We are scared you will rip our hearts out, we are scared of how powerful you are. But being powerful does not change the fact that you are doing a terrible job” he said and his words kept stabbing me in the heart.

“That is enough!”Jayden bursted angrily and I raised my hand, stopping him from doing anything st upid. After all he was right.

I couldn’t protect the pack members when an unknown attack kept befalling and killing the members of the pack, I couldn’t protect X constructions. My father always say I was incapable of leading the pack and now others are saying it to my face too.

“Stepping down is not a bad choice…” the man trailed and my eyes ran cold in anger.

“That is enough” I bursted angrily and he sucked on his words.

“Things might not be pleasant for the pack right now, but that does not give anyone the right to speak to me the way they see feel. I’m still the Alpha of this pack” I said and the man stared at his feet as he cowered in fear.

“I am your Alpha”

“I am your superior! 1 bursted angrily and they bowed.

“The pack would regain it’s lost glory. But till that happens, it is your duty to support me as pack elders’ I said and they gave nods in agreement as I made my way out of the conference room.

“You should have caught off his n*eck, he have no right to speak to you in that manner. You are the Alpha and deserves some respect Jayden bursted angrily.

“You are only angry because we are best friends. They speak for the welfare of the entire pack… I trailed.

“By being disrespectful towards you and your position as pack Alpha?” he asked in annoyance. I have never seen Jayden so pis sed off in my entire life.

“Thanks for always having my back though I said and he sighed.

“You have been nothing but a good friend to me man, what would I gain if I let them say whatever they like to you in my presence?” he asked and I gave him a bro hug.

“I have some important things to finish up, have a nice day ahead Alpha” he bowed. before leaving me to myself.

I watched Jayden leave and my phone pinged with a message from an unknown number, I tried to ignore it since I was already worried about a lot of things but the particular message caught my attention

*Ill be back for you soon” I read out the words and for an unknown reason the words felt too deep and sinister for my liking.

It felt like someone was out there somewhere planning something really terrible for the the pack. What if we don’t survive it? I wondered as fear gripped my heart.

“Baby are you okay” Rachel’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts and my eyes moved over to the direction of her voice and there she was, looking extremely beautiful in her yellow colored dress.

“Dearest” I said as I pulled her into my arms

“What’s with you and that worried look? I’ve told you so many times not to worry about anything haven’t I?” She asked as she k*ssed my l*ps sweetly.

“It is my duty to worry about the well being of the pack, if I don’t who will ?” I asked and she sighed softly.

“It is not a lovely sight to see stress lines on your forehead you know she said and I k*ssed her forehead.

“It is not a pleasant sight to see the stress lines on yours either, so do you wanna talk about that?” I asked and she stared at me speechlessly, and I wondered what was wrong.
