The Rejected Luna: Daddy, Where is Mommy?

“Daddy says a friend in need is a friend in deed. And the same rules apply to relations; I won’t give my grandpa a hug when he wasn’t there to hug me.” She announced her decision.

“Rose… I can explain…” Christian tried to hold her, but she ran away. “Rose!!..” He rose on his feet to talk to her, who was now crying and running away from him. What did he expect? After kicking Roselet from their life, she would accept them with open arms just because she was a pup.

Maybe it was the decision of Abigail, but his crime wouldn’t lessen by blaming everything on her head.

“Rose!! Wait, dear!! That area of the packhouse is weak.” He yelled, seeing her running in the wrong direction. That part of the pack house was more than a hundred years old. Roselet quickly stopped running and thought to return back to the other direction, and that was when her eyes landed on Ethlyn, who was walking toward the packhouse. She slowly walked near the railing to see her mommy, and surprisingly, she had also worn a blue top, matching her frock.

‘Daddy told me that mommy didn’t know about me.’ She thought, wiping her tears.

“Rose, come to this side, dear!!” Christian requested, not going to the place where she was because of his weight; the railing or floor might fall down earlier than expected as he could already hear the breaking of the foundation.

“Okay,” Roselet agreed and had barely kept a step toward Christian when that area broke and bent down, making her lose her balance. “Aaahhh!!” She screamed in fear and held the railing tightly. Christian could sense that the railing would break anytime, and then it would fall down with Roselet. He ran quickly to check there wasn’t someone beneath in that area, and there wasn’t, thankfully, and that was when his eyes landed on Ethlyn, who was running to breathe in that area.

‘Dad, Moon Goddess, why the hell did you take a pup to that area.’ Ethlyn mind linked him, not believing that that pup was with her father. ‘Ask her to jump, leaving the railing.’ She added. Her wolf immediately heard the of scream of the pup when Roselet screamed in fear.

“Rose!! Leave the railing and jump.” Christian said to which she shook her head. “Jump, dear!! Ethlyn is there to catch you. If the railing will fall with you, then it might kill anyone who will try to catch you. So jump.” Christian suggested.

“And… and now even your uncles are downstairs, jump.” He added, seeing Lemieux and one other man with him. Closing her eyes, Roselet left the railing and jumped from there. She was waiting for the pain, but after a while, she felt herself in someone’s arms and then a loud noise of something falling after her, but by that time, Ethlyn had already moved aside, and that’s when the railing fell down, it didn’t harm anyone. At the same time, Roselet tightened her grip around her savior without opening her eyes.

“Princess, are you alright?” Lemieux asked, caressing her hair.

“Open your eyes and look around; you’re safe now,” Asher spoke. For a while, he felt he was dead. If anything would have happened to Roselet, then Calvin would have killed each of them no matter how close they were close to him.

Roselet slowly opened her eyes, and the person she looked at was the woman for whom she was here.

“Mommy?” Roselet whispered, widening Ethlyn’s eyes, who were looking at her in concern. Lemieux was quick to take her in his arms, realizing what Roselet had just whispered.

“Just like every pup, she missed her mommy after this incident.” He muttered while in these times, everyone was already there. Asher checked her legs and hands in search of any injuries, but he couldn’t smelt any.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“How does this happen?” Nathan asked in confusion.

“Why did you take her to the top floor, Dad? And even if you took her there, then you should have been more careful. What if anything would have happened to her? Her parents might have gotten a heart attack after hearing this news.” Ethlyn couldn’t help but question her father.

“Ethlyn, relax!! Take a deep breath.” Nathan said, placing his hand on her shoulder. “You look worried and scared like she is her daughter, and you almost got a heart attack. Right now, Rose’s heartbeat and your heartbeats are running at almost the same speed.” he joked to lighten the atmosphere.

At Nathan’s words, both Ethlyn and Roselet looked at each other. Ethlyn wasn’t someone who got attached to any pup by just her look, but for some reason, she was feeling a connection with this unknown pup who accidentally called her Mommy.

Ethlyn couldn’t stop thinking about Roselet. She wanted to go and check on her, but she just couldn’t do it just like that.

‘Why couldn’t? Just go to the guest house and check on her.’ Cinder demanded. ‘Did you forget how scared she looked when her uncles took her with them?’ She questioned, reminded how Lemieux took her with him, cooing her softly to make her forget what just happened.

‘And why are you so concerned about her? Till morning, you wanted me to dig for the truth, and now, you started diverting my mind already?’ Ethlyn asked. ‘She is not our pup, so stop worrying for her, OR we will suffer the most when she will leave.’

Cinder growled at her but didn’t answer her back because she knew that her human was right. But they both knew that Roselet had brought a lot of emotions in her just by saying, ‘Mommy.’

“I’m sorry, dad. I shouldn’t have talked with you for a stranger.” She apologized. “I should have known that it must be that pup’s mistake.” She added.
