Chasing My Rejected Luna
Chapter 53

TEGAN'S

P.O.V

I laid in the bed staring off at the ceiling still not completely grasping what all happened. I was there. I felt the pain, I see my wound, I see my son. But none of it feels real. It was all so hard to believe.

I knew Liam betrayed me, but I wasn't the only one. There was also Lilly, who still remained in the dungeons while I sit in this bed hurt by the fact that Liam wanted to take everything. Then there was Ezra, how can I deny the fact that he saved both me and our son? But if it weren't for him rejecting me, this would have never happened. 'You don't know that.' Gemma pipped up.

'If he never rejected me... -"

"You wouldn't have me, you wouldn't be able to hear, and you wouldn't have gotten the confidence you now have!

'I wouldn't have been put in a dungeon, I wouldn't have been sliced open unmedicated and I wouldn't have been on the verge of sacrificed while my child was offered to a demon lord.'

'They had been planning far too long. The rejection helped of course, but this was written in our destiny.

'To be mutilated? To be violated and hurt beyond measure?'

'To make us stronger. To open our eyes to the realistic part of realty. To show us what we must do as the chosen.

'And what if I don't want to be the chosen?'

'It wasn't your choice, Tegan. It was written in our fate.'

'To be belittled our entire lives then to be rejected, then to top it off to be fake loved to be a sacrifice to the demon lord?'

'As bad as it sounds. Now we know what we must do'

'What must I do? No what I must do, is protect my child and myself from any other harm. Everyone is a threat. Big or small!

'No Tegan, we must take down Helga so we can take down him.'

'Him?' I asked confused.

'The demon lord.'

'Fuck that!'

'In order for you to protect our baby and ourselves we must take them down. It is the only way!

'Did you already forget what they did to us?' I asked as the cruel reality replayed in my head.

'No, I will never forget. Which is why we must take them down!'

'They are too powerful!'

'But we are more powerful. She stated, which made me feel uneasy.

I felt far from powerful, let alone more powerful than a being that can grant any wish.

'We can do this. She said again trying to be reassuring. I only blocked her out and took my eyes from the ceiling over to the incubator that contained my child.

I was still unable to hold him, they said soon. But when was soon? The anticipation was eating at me slowly.

"You did a wonderful job." Ezra's voice said. I looked over at him surprised he was even here. I thought he didn't want me to reject him. Not that I could right now anyways. The acceptance could potentially kill me after what my body just endured. "You just looked at me from the incubator. Did you hear me?" He asked confused.

He still didn't know I was able to hear now, I've had my hearing for over a month now, but he was not around, nor have we had a real conversation since the rejection. I only rolled my eyes and looked back at our son. "How is that possible?"

"It was a gift." I replied but never looked back at him.

"From whom?"

"From the moon goddess." I stated.

"I knew you sounded different, but I didn't know it was because you could hear now."

"Well now you know." I said rudely.

We sat for a moment in silence before he spoke again, irritating me further.

"Have you thought of names?" He asked.

"Oh, you didn't take it upon yourself to name him without consulting me? I figured that was just how you worked, and I had no say in the matter."

"Tegan, I'm sorry. I should've spoken to you first. We should have figured it out together."

"But we didn't end of discussion."

"Tegan... -"

"I don't want to hear it, Ezra. All that comes from your mouth is excuses."

"They aren't excus... -"

"His name is Elias."

"Elias. I like that. A very suitable name for a king indeed."

"What makes you think he will be your next king?"

"He is my child, my heir."

"And my contract was voided therefore he does not have to be the heir."

"Tegan, he is my son. My first born. He will be the next King." He stated with finality.

"I don't like the way the Kingdom is ran. He doesn't need to be controlled as you were. He should be able to make his own decisions."

"And he will."

"Like you did?" I asked finally making eye contact with him.

"The Kingdom is changing."

"It will never change as long as they have a say." I hissed out with hate.

"Which is why they aren't going to be. Elder Jackson is no longer with us."

"There were others."

"And it is being handled. Elias will have a different kind of future. A better one."

I wanted to believe him, but how could I?

"Tegan, Doctor Erin is on her way. We will be going back to the Kingdom. You and Elias will both be coming back with us. It is the only way I know yawl are safe. Something like this cannot happen again." His words irritated me, but I knew what he said was true. If I wanted to protect our son, it was the only way.

"I won't share a room with you."

"I don't expect you to. But both of your rooms will be on the same floor as my own, not across the way like before."

"So, on the same floor?"

"Your room is across the hall, Elias's room next to yours with a conjoining door so you can get to him for feedings and such."

That didn't sound like an awful idea.

"And please don't fight me on thi... -"

"Okay I agree."

"You agree? No bickering, no fighting against it?"

"No fighting against it. I agree."

"You won't regret it." He stated with a smile on his face.

"That doesn't mean I forgive you, and it also doesn't mean we will live like we are mates. Everything between us still stands. I am only agreeing to this condition for him." I said as my eyes diverted to Elias. "I understand. But that doesn't mean I will give up."

"You should give up. What we had is gone." I stated. As he made his way over to me, placing his hand on my arm making me jump at the electric currents.

"What we have, is far from gone and I won't stop until you are mine." He said with fire burning in his eyes. But not from anger.

The door opening broke the building tension between us as someone entered. Making my heart flutter. But not from fear.
