Ch. 16..20: Loving My Rejected Luna Chapter 16-20

Chapter 16

They all slumped down on the couch when they were finally done carrying all the bags up to their apartment.

“Oh my, I’m so tired” Heather murmured as she laid her head on Kiara’s lap.

“Why are you both breathing harder than me when I was the one that did all the Job. You just carried one bag each” Kiara giggled at Levi’s words.

‘You offered to help/ Levi sighed.

“I didn’t know you were living in a three story building with no elevators. If you’d told me….”

‘You won’t have carried us in your car? I take it back, Kiara, he’s not a gentleman” Heather cut in then smirked at Levi when she saw the dread look on his face.

It was obvious he liked Kiara so she was going to use that to their advantage. noveldrama

‘That’s not what I was going to say. Of course I’m a gentleman. You believe I’m a gentleman, right Kiara?” Kiara gave both of them weird looks then sighed before standing up.

‘TH go bring the juice.” When she left, Heather turned to Levi with a smile.

“Don’t worry, I’m team Levi… for now. If you say something like that again, I’ll find another gentleman that won’t complain about carrying Kiara’s bags. Got it?” Levi grinned then nodded.

“Got it” Just then, Kiara walked in with a tray containing cups and the bottle of juice.

‘We only have apple juice so I hope that’s okay?” Levi nodded.

‘Til take whatever you give me, Kiara” Heather rolled her eyes.

“I told you to be a gentleman, not a weirdo” Heather whispered into Levi’s ear and his cheeks immediately turned pink.

Kiara narrowed her eyes suspiciously at them then sighed and poured the apple juice for Levi then handed it to him.

“Drink up so you can leave, it’s getting late” Levi pouted.

“Are you indirectly telling me to leave?” Kiara sighed.

“Just drink up. Do you want something to eat?” Levi shook his head with a cheeky smile.

“I’m good. So now that we’re all close…. Can’t you both tell me where you’re planning to go for this Vacation? I just want to know and I have no ulterior motives” Kiara stared at the innocent look on his face then rolled her eyes.

“No can’t do, Levi. This Vacation is just for Heather and I so you don’t need to know’ Levi sighed then turned to Heather.

“Don’t look at me, Kiara is the boss here. By the way, we practically don’t know anything about you except you’re opening a company here. What do you do? Who are your parents? Where are you from?” Kiara noticed the way Levi’s Aura changed and knew this was something he wasn’t comfortable with talking about.

She slapped Heather’s shoulder with a stern look on her face.

“It’s not good to interrogate our guest that way, Heather,” Levi smiled, then shook his head.

“It’s okay but I cant answer all your questions but if you must know, I’m Italian and I came to set up my sole proprietorship business here” Heather nodded slowly.

‘Why didn’t you set it up in Italy then?” Kiara sighed.

“Heather…/

“It’s okay, Kiara. My father and brothers run the one in Italy and I just wanted to get away from home for a while’ Heather’s eyes brightened instantly.

‘You have brothers? Elder or younger? Are they as handsome as you? Since Kiara already has you, maybe I can get your brother instead” Kiara rolled her eyes. 1

“I do not have Levi, Heather. He’s not an Object” Heather rolled her eyes.

“Oh you know what I mean’

“No I don’t. If you want to go out with Levi, he won’t mind, right?” Kiara turned to Levi with a smile and he had to stop himself from frowning. Weren’t his intentions clear? 1

“Oh Kiara, always so dense” Kiara furrowed her eyebrows at Heather and was about to ask her what she meant when Levi stood up.

“Can I speak with you, Kiara?” Kiara turned to him with a frown then nodded slowly.

“I’ll be in my room” Heather uttered then immediately ran to her room, closing the door behind her.

As soon as she was gone, Kiara turned to Levi with a smile.

“What did you want to talk about?” Levi stared at her for a while then tilted his head. 1

“I like you” Kiara froze for a while. She wasn’t stupid to see that Levi liked her but she hadn’t expected him to say it out like that.

“And I know you don’t like me back but I’m not giving up. I really like you and I’ve never liked anyone as much as I like you” Kiara frowned.

“But you know nothing about me. You don’t even know where I’m from’ He didn’t even know she was a wolf. If he knew, would he still like her?

“We have all the time in the World to get to know each other. I’m in no rush when it comes to you” His words could melt any girl’s heart but Kiara…. She just wasn’t ready for this again.

“We just met like four days ago. How can you like someone so quickly?” Levi smiled then grabbed her hand.

“No one can control their heart, Kiara and my heart chose you. I’m not asking you to like me back right now, I’m just asking you to give me a chance and if it doesn’t work out, I’m willing to be just friends with you” She stared into his eyes for a while and smiled slightly at how sincere he was.

What was the harm in trying, right?

“When I get back from my Vacation, we’ll see how it goes” Levi smiled so wide that his cheeks began to hurt.

‘That’s all I wanted to hear. Thank you” Kiara smiled slightly then slowly pulled her hand out his grip.

“Get home safely, okay?” He nodded at her.

“Okay” She waved goodbye at him as he walked towards the door.

The minute he stepped out of the apartment, his phone rang and when he saw the caller ID, his happy mood Immediately turned sour.

He hesitated before receiving the call.

‘What is it?” “Father wants you home immediately”…

Chapter 17

“Ughh, why am I the one that has to get the grocery?” Kiara complained as she pouted at Heather.

“Because I got it last time. Besides, I’m having a manicure, I don’t want it ruined. Just go, please” Heather pleaded with a pout and Kiara sighed.

It was night time and they wanted to make pasta when they realized they didn’t have any grocery whatsoever and neither of them wanted to go even though the grocery shop was just down the block.

“Ughh fine” Kiara muttered as she grudgingly dragged herself to her room.

She took out her bag then some cash before going out to meet Heather laying on the couch, watching TV.

“Make sure to get the cookies and cream ice cream, thank you” Kiara scowled at her then scoffed before walking out of the apartment.

She took a deep breath as soon as she inhaled the night air. The street lamps were on and there were a lot of people on the road which was nice at least.

She hugged herself as soon as a cold breeze flew past her. She should have probably worn a jacket. Well, she can’t go back now,

She hugged her bag closer to her as she walked down to the grocery shop.

She groaned when she got to the shop and it was closed. After walking for about 30 minutes, it was closed?

She glared at the store for ten seconds before sighing and searching around for another grocery store. They had to be around.noveldrama

As she walked down the street, she noticed the odd look some group of men were giving her and it was starting to make her uncomfortable.

She decided to ignore them and walk away like she couldn’t see them but then, three of them began following her from behind.

She groaned as she walked faster. Even when one called out for her, she didn’t dare stop. It wasn’t like she couldn’t fight them, she could tear them apart even but she couldn’t reveal her identity with this amount of people on the streets.

“Hey, we are talking to you” She gasped when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She swiftly turned around and punched the man in the face before hurriedly running away. 1

She could hear footsteps behind her but she didn’t turn back. She decided to lure them into an empty space to teach them a lesson. She wasn’t a lady to be messed with and they were about to find out.

Zane glanced around as he slowly drove through the neighborhood.

‘This is where she stays?” He questioned with a frown on his face. The neighborhood doesn’t look safe at all.

‘Yes. My Intel told me they just moved here about three months ago” Daniel explained then pointed at a storey building by the side.

‘That’s where they stay. Do you want to go see the state of the apartments? ” Zane shook his head. If Kiara spotted him, she would move out and even though he didn’t want her to be staying in a place like this, she couldn’t move out just yet.

“No don’t worry, let’s go” Daniel nodded slowly then sighed as Zane drove down the road.

Suddenly, a figure caught Daniel’s eyes.

“Is that Kiara?” Zane briefly glanced at the figure Daniel was pointing out and he frowned. It was in fact her but what was she doing out by this time?

It wasn’t safe!

“For fuck sake” Zane muttered then moved his car closer to the pavement and drove slowly behind her.

‘Those men….”

“I see them,” Zane muttered through clenched teeth. Why were those men following her? She seemed to have noticed them and was walking faster but they were walking up to catch up with her.

When she punched the one that touched her, Zane couldn’t help but beam with pride. He knew she was capable of beating them up but since they were in an open space, she was holding herself back.

Zane packed his car by the side of the road as soon as she started running.

“Let’s go” He climbed out of the car with Daniel and they both ran after her.

Kiara ran into a lonely alleyway and only stopped running when she got to a wall.

She slowly turned around and saw the three men behind her with creepy smiles on their faces.

“Boss is going to be happy we finally caught one” One of them uttered, which surprised Kiara. Caught…. One?

Just then, one of them pulled out a gun and Kiara gasped.

“Hello wolf, nice of you to play right into our trap” Kiara’s eyes widened. She thought she was luring her but they had been the one luring her.

She slowly moved back till her back touched the wall. She then bared her teeth at them as her eyes turned golden.

“Kiara!” She turned to the voice and before she could react, one of the men shot her right in the stomach. She screamed out in pain as her insides suddenly began to burn. She had been shot with Silver!

Her eyes became drowsy but she could clearly see Zane’s angry face. She saw him change into his big black wolf before she fell to the ground.

After a while, she felt herself being pulled into a warm embrace.

“Oh my love, I’m here now. Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you” She tried opening her eyes slightly but she gave up and succumbed to the darkness.

Levi groaned as the iron whip connected with his back again.

“How dare you?! I sent you there for a reason and you angered him? Are you insane?!” His father yelled then wiped him again. Levi let out a scream filled with pain then fell to the ground, unable to move his body. 2

‘That’s enough father” He heard his brother, Lucien mutter.

‘Your brother is useless! You better find a way to make it up to Zane or I’m going to give you a reason to obey me!” He heard his father and brother footsteps receding and then when the door was locked, he was left alone in the darkness again…

Chapter 18

Kiara groaned slightly as she opened her eyes. She glanced and noticed she was laying down on her bed.

She tried to sit up and Immediately winced.

“Be careful, your injury hasn’t healed” She turned to the voice and her eyes Widened when she saw Zane.

“Zane? What are you doing here?” He sighed then moved closer to her and laid her back on the bed.

“Don’t move, okay?” She frowned then her eyes suddenly turned cold.

“I asked why you’re here. What are you doing in my house?” She questioned through clenched teeth. Before Zane could reply, Heather burst open the door then ran towards Kiara with tears in her eyes.

“Oh Kiara, I should have never let you out on your own. I’m such a bad friend” Kiara shook her head as she patted Heather’s back.

“Don’t say that. This could have happened anytime so don’t blame yourself. Even if you came with me, you and I would have been shot. Do you want that?” Heather nodded then lifted up her head from Kiara’s chest.

“At least that way, I’ll know we are both in pain. I don’t like seeing you like this” Kiara giggled then flicked Heather’s forehead.

“Ow!” Heather winced then pouted.

‘Will you stop being unreasonable? Besides, I’m fine aren’t I?” Heather shook her head.

“If Zane and Daniel hadn’t shown up, you would have died’ Kiara turned towards Zane and Daniel then sighed.

‘Thank you for saving me but you both can leave now, I’m okay” Zane shook his head with a stern look on his face.

“You’re not fully healed and I’m not leaving till I see that wound close up” Kiara frowned.

“So what if it doesn’t heal now or it heals in two weeks, so you plan on staying here till then?” Zane nodded.

“If that’s how it turns out then yes” Kiara shook her head.

“I refuse to be in the same space with you. Thank you for saving me but I’ll heal without you being beside me so leave” Zane stared at for a while then sighed.

“As your mate, if I’m close to you, you’ll heal quicker” Kiara scoffed then let out a laugh.

“My mate? You seem to be forgetting the past, Zane but don’t worry, I’ll remind you. You rejected me and threw me out of your pack like a Piece of trash, do you remember because I can’t seem to forget that day and Everytime I see your face, I’m reminded of that time and I’m physically and emotionally tired so please, please leave” Zane raised his chin with a stubborn look on his face.

“When you’re healed, I’ll leave so stop being stubborn, Kiara” She stared at him for a while then sighed before throwing the covers off her body and trying to stand up but Zane and Heather held her down.

“What do you think you’re doing? I said your wound hasn’t healed yet” Zane scolded.

“If you don’t want to leave then I’ll leave so let me go” Zane sighed.

“I’ll leave the room but I’m not leaving this apartment till you are better and that is final” She glared at him.

‘Why are you suddenly acting like you care? You threw me out of the pack even when I was pregnant and now, all of a sudden you want to act like you care? You don’t! So leave me alone! You don’t know what I’ve been through, Zane, I’ve been through much more pain and I’ve healed from them without you so your presence isn’t needed” Heather bit her lip to stop herself from crying. The tone in Kiara’s voice reminded her of the time she found Kiara on the ground with her wrist slit with a silver knife.

That day had been the worst day for her because Kiara had been so lost and broken because of him and she had let him into their apartment? How could she do that to her best friend? i

“Both of you have to leave,” Heather muttered as she stood up straight. Zane turned to her with furrowed eyebrows.

‘What?”

“If anything happens to her, I’ll let you both know but for now, you both have to leave. You’re stressing her out and that’s not good” Zane frowned.

“I said I’m not….”

“Zane, let’s just go” Daniel quickly interjected as he grabbed onto Zane’s arm.

With the way Kiara and Heather were reacting, he felt like there was something more to it and maybe Zane really needed to give Kiara space.

“No, she’s not better yet. I’ll just stay till she heals and….”

“Zane, she’s going to be okay and you know that. You’re stressing her out and that’s not going to do her any good so let’s just go” Zane scowled then let out a sigh before turning to Kiara who still had a frown on her face.

“If I don’t hear that your wound has closed up by today, I’ll be here tomorrow and nothing is going to make me leave, not even your stubbornness” Zane muttered then turned around and walked away.

As soon as he was gone, Kiara let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.

“I’m sorry. I was just so worried about you that I totally forgot about your situation with him but I swear, I’ll never let him in again” Kiara sighed.

“It’s not your fault. Can you leave, I would really like to rest for now” Heather frowned but nevertheless, nodded and walked out of the room.

She knew Kiara just needed to be on her own for now and she was willing to give her that space.

As they walked towards Zane’s car, Daniel could see that Zane was fuming. noveldrama

“Could you stop? You look like a raging bull and everyone keeps staring at us weirdly” Daniel muttered as they stood beside the car.

“Why is she so stubborn? Why is she the one that gets to shout? This is what I get for being caring?” Zane grumbled then ran his fingers through his hair out of frustration.

“Don’t you find it strange?” Zane slowly turned to him.

“Find what strange?” “That ever since we saw Kiara, we have not once seen her child. Even just now, he wasn’t in their apartment and I didn’t see any child belongings around the house. Isn’t that strange?”…

Chapter 19

Zane thought over it for a while then scoffed.

“Maybe she felt too guilty and decided to hand the child over to his or her father. I don’t know and I don’t care. Let’s just go home” Zane muttered then immediately climbed into his car, not wanting to continue the conversation but Daniel knew he wasn’t just overthinking it.

There was no way Kiara would ever abandon her own child. He remembered how she used to help all the orphans back at the pack.

He needed to dig deeper into this.

By the time Kiara came out of her room, it was already night time. Heather rushed up to her with wide eyes as soon as she saw her. 1

“What are you doing out here? You’re not fully healed yet” Heather scolded and Kiara rolled her eyes before lifting up her shirt.

“I am, see? I’m hungry so I decided to make myself some food’’ Heather shook her head then led Kiara over to the couch.

“I’ve already made dinner so just sit your pretty ass down while I serve you” Kiara scoffed with a smile as she watched Heather walk into the Kitchen then she sat down on the couch.

“What has gotten into you?” Kiara questioned as Heather walked back into the living room with a tray and on top of it was a bowl of Chicken soup.

“What do you mean? Don’t I normally cook for you? Besides I feel guilty” Heather murmured as she placed the tray on the table in front of Kiara. noveldrama

Kiara sighed, “If this is about what happened to me last night then…”

“No, not about that but about letting Zane and Daniel in. I was just so worried about you when I saw you bleeding in his arms. He was panicking and it was making me panic and then he called his personal doctor who immediately came to treat you and then he just stayed and didn’t want to leave. I’m sorry, I should have told him to leave” Kiara smiled then grabbed a hold of Hester’s hand, 1

“It’s okay, I’ve forgotten all about that but I have something to ask? Why am I drinking soup? I wanted solid food” Kiara whined then pouted.

“The doctor said you aren’t allowed to take solid food for today so I made you soup. You should be grateful” Kiara shook her head.

‘Til only be grateful when you cook something I like” Heather rolled her eyes.

“Well too bad. Eat up and make sure you finish it” After complaining, Kiara ended up drinking the soup and she had to admit that Heather was a great cook.

They sat down to watch a movie for a while and Kiara couldn’t stop eyeing Heather’s dinner. She was having Lasagna which was one of Kiara’s favorites.

“You couldn’t have eaten tomorrow so I can join you?” Heather shook her head.

“Nope” She uttered, making sure to pop the p which made Kiara roll her eyes.

Just then, her phone rang and Levi’s name popped up on the screen.

“Hello?” She called out into the phone.

“I’m outside your apartment building, can you come meet me?” Kiara furrowed her eyebrows.

“Why are you here? And you can just come up, you know” Levi chuckled.

“I know but I just wanted to talk to you for a while and I won’t take that long here anyways” Kiara but her lower lip then sighed. She didn’t want to be out at night again after what happened yesterday.

Those men knew she was a wolf, what if more came after her and Heather?

“Okay, I’ll be right there’ Heather turned to her as soon as she said that with furrowed eyebrows.

“What’s going on? Where are you going?” Kiara stood up from the couch then Grabbed her coat.

“Levi is outside waiting for me. I won’t be long so don’t worry about me” Heather smiled then shook her head.

“I’m not mad. I know Levi will take care of you” Kiara rolled her eyes.

“Oh shut up” Kiara muttered then walked out of the apartment.

When she got to the entrance of the building, she found Levi leaning against his car while looking at the sky.

As she walked closer to him, he turned to her and his once solemn face immediately brightened.

He waved at her with a grin.

“Hey, guardian angel” He uttered with a smile.

“How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that?” Kiara muttered defeatedly while Levi just grinned then he walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her which came as a shock to Kiara.

“Erm… Levi…” She tried pushing him off but Levi tightened his arms around her.

“Please let’s just stay like this for a while, I really need this right now” Kiara was tense but after a while, she sighed as she relaxed.

“Is there a problem? You seem down” She murmured and Levi chuckled.

“I’m glad you noticed that but I’m okay, don’t worry. I just missed you, that’s all. I missed you so much” Kiara frowned.

“But you saw me yesterday” Levi chuckled then pulled away from the hug to stare at her face.

“Yes but I still miss you. Am I not allowed to miss you now?” Kiara shrugged.

“If you want to. Why did you call me out here?” Levi sighed then shrugged.

“I just wanted to see you. I’ll leave now, see you later my guardian angel” Before he could turn around Kiara grabbed his hand. She could feel there was something wrong with him.

Levi was a cheerful person but right now, he didn’t seem so cheerful.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Levi smiled so brightly that his cheek began to hurt.

“Stop being worried about me, Kiara or I might just fall in love with you” Kiara’s eyes widened and she immediately let go of his hand.

He chuckled then climbed into his car and drove off.

She stood there for a while and was about to walk back into the apartment building when her eyes caught sight of a familiar black Rolls Royce packed at the side.

She gasped when her eyes connected with Zane’s and when she saw the sadness in his eyes, she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her chest but before she could even react, he drove away…
