Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Twenty: The Serum.
ELIANA.“This is a serum” Ivan stretched out of his hand and in it was a plastic amber bottle. An arch came between my eyes which fell to him. “I might have used the lab back in the Pack to create some sort of antidote for your father” He added. I couldn’t whether to be relieved just yet.“Now, it’s not a total cure. Unless somehow we’re able to stop them from poisoning him, that’s our greatest chance. But this—“ He handed it over to me, clenching my palms right after.“This could slow down the progression of the poison in your father’s system and it could buy us some time until we come up with a plan” He continued. “Ivan” My eyes narrowed thankfully.“I did say we were going to figure something out, didn’t I?” He shrugged.“Thank you” I muttered. I had no idea he was even working on something but it was about time for some good news around here. My gaze fell on the serum as I held tighter around it. “Your father,” Ivan paused. “I’m doing this for him too. He may not have shown it in

ELIANA. “Can you stop walking so fast?” Denver was breathlessly trying to keep up with my pace. I plummeted my feet forward even more, desperate to avoid being next to him at all costs. I’m not sure if he could tell.“I said wait!” In a split second, he transported close enough to grasp me by my arms. I was forced to a halt, looking into his eyes, she was still trying to catch his breath. There were people around, a few of my Pack members who I recognized but luckily not one of them saw me.I was trying to flee from Denver but at the same time, I was still trying to remain as undercover as possible. “If you didn’t want me here, why then did you come into my car and ask that I drive you here?” Denver asked. A sneaky scoff escaped my lips. “Because my Grandmother insisted” I shook his hands off mine. Narrowing his eyes, Denver was taken aback for a moment. “Left to me, I would’ve been well off doing this all on my own” I brushed past his shoulders, wounding his ego even more, a delig
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Twenty-Two: The Kiss.
ELIANA."We really should get going." Looking back and forth at the empty halls, we made our way back down in the same direction that we came. From here, to the dungeon and then out through the stable."You see, you actually needed my help.” Denver scoffed all knowingly. “You in fact couldn't have done this on your own" He referenced what I’d told him when we first got here and I rolled my eyes to the back.Partly, because what he said was true. "That makes two apologies that you owe me" He hissed and even though it may have been true, there was no way he was getting anything fromme. We jumped into the dungeon and wasted no second to walk out through the door that led into the stable. The air in here was warm and dry and I felt something prick the back of my throat. All that was here was just bundles of hay laying around and a couple of tools. I looked up at the door—and it wasn’t so far off. We were almost out.Very nearly, in fact. When suddenly, we heard voices echo through t
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Twenty-Three: For The First Time.
ELIANA.The night was here.The world was bathed in an eerie, silvery glow as the full moon centered itself in the velvet canvas of the night sky. The wind was in the trees and the forest was quiet as I sauntered through.As a wolf, my senses were finely attuned to the world around me. My keen sense of smell picked up even the faintest traces of things in the air. To my right, I could scent ash coming from miles away and to my left—my stomach growled with hunger, I could scent the presence of prey.The rustling of the leaves caught my ears as I picked up my feet. I plummeted myself through the trees, starting out slowly before increasing my speed and momentum with every second that passed. It was hard getting used to running on all fours, but somehow, it felt like something I’d done before. There was a particular sense of liberation that filled me as I roamed the forest. A part of my fears had already died down, now I was filled with the intense urge to feed.I didn’t even know as I
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Twenty-Four: Something I’ll Regret.
DENVER.My eyes shot open to the darkness of the dungeon that surrounded me. My lips twitched with a growl stuck in the back of my throat. The door had opened and as soon as I heard Cory’s footsteps draw close, I launched myself against the cage barriers.The sound of my chains clanged against the hard floor and sent a reverberating echo through the walls. Anyone else would have been fazed, they might have even been scared. But not my beta, Cory.Not when he has seen me in a worse shape and condition than this. I panted heavily from my lips as I drew back. His hands wrapped around the cage as his eyes fell on me. My wolf turned away from him, hiding behind the darkness of the dimly lit, musty dungeon. Matted, dark furs stretched across every surface of my skin and my sharp claws strained against the shackles that held around my wrists and ankles.I struggled to catch my breath as I shifted back into a human form.Beads of sweat formed along the lines of my face and I looked at Cory
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Twenty-Five: Stranger In The Woods.
ELIANA.The sun was out.I was walking through the woods when I pulled out my phone to dial Denver. I found myself constantly looking over my shoulders in search of Blake. Our encounter earlier was somehow all I could think about.A sigh escaped my lips as soon as my cabin came into sight. Only God knew how many miles I walked to get here. Beep. Beep.Denver wasn’t answering.I called again tirelessly, and again until the line went through.“Hello” But it wasn’t his voice. “Who is this?” I asked. “Who is this?” He threw the question back at me.“I need to speak to Denver. Tell him it’s Eliana” I muttered and after a brief pause, the strange voice exclaimed. “Oh,” He echoed. “Eliana.” I could tell he knew me now but him, not so much.“Give me a second” The sound of metal doors opening and closing echoed through the phone as I kept walking closer to the cabin. “Hello” I called out after some time. “Hello?” Until there was an answer. “Denver" I heaved, folding my arms across my chest. c
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Twenty-Six: If This Is Going To Work.
ELIANA."Does he know yet...Does Denver know?" Nana asked. "Are you even sure about this?" A hard lump went down my throat at that moment."It's something I have to tell him to his face," I paused. "And yes. Yes, I'm sure about it now more than ever." I continued. My Grandma squeezed my hands as she nodded. “Then, you have my blessings” She flashed a smile at me, one I returned.But for a moment, everything seemed so peaceful now that I had made up my mind but that was before we heard a loud thud come from above. I jerked forward with an arch between my brows.“What was that?” Nana was just as confused. That wasn’t all. The sound of shattering glass followed and things being thrown up and down. I arose from the chair just as it hit me. “It’s her!” I muttered.“The stranger from the woods?” My Grandma was alarmed and even my heart was racing in my chest. “I have to go up—“ She held my arms back. “But what if she’s dangerous, Eliana?” She asked.“Elijah is upstairs!” I yelled. “I need t
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Twenty-Seven: Once And For All.
ELIANA.As soon as the car pulled over next to his castle, a breeze of nostalgia whooshed into my face. I swallowed a hard lump down my throat as the doors opened, already dreading coming down.But luckily, Nana had already made it this far. Cory helped her out and she wheeled closer to where I was. “Come on,” She stretched her arms. Flashing a smile at her, I took them before alighting the car. My gaze trailed up the massive building and I realized not a lot of things had changed since the last time I was here.“Future Luna,” Beta Cory bowed his head, helping me with the bags I’d packed for the weekend. “I’m Cory—“ “Of course I remember you” I interrupted him. “You’re like Denver’s right-hand man. I remember him saying how you were the only one he trusted in the world” I chuckled and he nodded humbly. “I try” “And please, just call me Eliana” I refuted the idea of any title whatsoever. It was bad enough that I had to come back to this place that held so many memories. But the matin

ELIANA."The baby's coming now""The baby's coming now, Denver" I screamed through my teeth, reaching to grasp his hands from the wheeling bed. "I have to go call Thelma to tell the nurses to prepare the birthing room" He replied. Tears welled up in my eyes as I gasped. "Don't leave, Denver." "I'll be right back. I'll be right back, Eliana. I promise." He scrambled through the doors as fast as he could and I heard the echoes of his footsteps draw further away. But just after him, the door opened."Nora" I lifted my eyes to face her. "What's going on? I heard screaming—" She walked into the room before letting out a gasp. "No, Eliana!" Shock filled her eyes as her lips parted with a smile. I reached for her hands and I nodded. "Yes" I muttered, biting into my lips to try and curtail the pain. But really, it was so searing that my eyes rolled to the back of my head. "Ahh!" I yelled as yet another contraction rippled through me. Nora was panicking as I jolted back and forth the bed b
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Hundred Thirty-Four: The Luckiest Man In The World.
ELIANA.FOUR MONTHS LATER."I'm the luckiest man alive to be here a second time. Those were the first words that he said the last time he was standing here” Cory looked up from the paper in his hands. Though in a wheelchair, his road to recovery was beyond impressive.That he was even here, among us on this special day meant a lot—especially to Denver. I could tell by the way his eyes looked around the adorned hall. He stood there in his stormy grey suit, just as it was the day we got married. It fit him so perfectly that I was jealous. Today, we decided to renew our vows, something to remember the day that really changed everything. The day that we sealed the deal forever and I first called Denver my husband. I looked to Cory at that moment and the tears stung the back of my eyes. Oh how I wanted the day to be perfect, and by perfect, I meant exactly how it was months ago. But in that moment, I realized that wasn’t possible. It couldn’t be like that anymore.For starters, I could
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Hundred Thirty-Three: Family.
ELIANA.A knock on the door drifted my attention. As I sat in front of the mirror, I couldn't pretend that my heart didn't drop at that moment. I turned around and then Thelma walked in. There was an unsettling look across her face when our eyes that I suddenly stood, Denver beside me. "Alpha Eliana," She pursed her lips. "Someone is here to see you."Silence immediately pierced the air with the thought of Aurora dashing across my mind but then she cleared her throat. "It's—" Thelma paused, darting her eyes between Denver and me. "It's Nathaniel.". She muttered. And at that moment, I swallowed a hard lump down my throat. Denver reached to squeeze my hands. "Nathaniel" I mumbled in disbelief. "He said he really wants to see you" My eyes met Denver's in a lock as I slowly nodded. "It's okay" I whispered. "I'll see him. I'll see him.""You sure?" Denver asked. I forced a smile to my lips."He's my brother, after everything, he still is" My eyes fell from his hands as Denver cleared h
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Hundred-Thirty Two: To My Eliana.
ELIANA.To my Eliana.From Nana. Those words would echo for so long to come. I remember the moment I first held the letter in my hands. My chapped dirt-filled fingernails clinging to the piece of paper with almost as much curiosity as devastation.The grief still hit, like a storm against my face, a sour taste in the back of my throat. The grief was there. But in that moment, I remembered Denver’s words. In this moment too.As I walked towards her coffin which laid open in the center of the fire. The air was gloomy with ash and the warm golden hue illuminated the tears that filled the eyes of everyone that had gathered here—for her funeral. Nana. Just like my Mum, just like Adam—it was a rite.Whenever one of us died, they were to be buried the next day. And my Nana had found a place right next to my Mum. I halted right next to her coffin even though earlier, I had no idea I would be able to do this.I threw a look back at Denver who had paused some meters behind. To allow me a mome
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Hundred Thirty-One: Carry On.
ELIANA. My knees grazed the ground upon where my Grandmother laid and the crown of my head rested upon her chest. Frail, still and quiet. It was the kind of silence that was deafening, that evoked the river of tears streaming down my face. The kind that echoed over and over that my whole world had crumbled, right in front of me—right in my hands. And I held onto Nana's garment, as if maybe I could grasp tightly enough, I may be able to bring her back. But my powers had never felt further from me. Each spell that escaped from my lips was like an echo from an empty vessel. The words didn't form, the winds didn't move. I was no longer a Witch, no longer a Hybrid.Now, those words would've meant the world to me at any moment besides this but right now, right now it was just too much. I cried, right on top of her, I cried until my chest started to ache and my throat was sore and my eyes could no longer bring any more tears.I cried because I had lost the one person that I had—that I thou

ELIANA.The full moon rose that night.At about 3 AM, it had hit its apex. The winds coursed through my hair as I gripped my Grandma’s hands. I could still hear her, even with my eyes closed. Her incantations, her magic.For that moment though, I was taken by the night, bathed in ghostly light. The shadows of Denver and my father, and Ivan, all waiting for things to go south so that they stepped in. I had assured them I had the spell under control but of course they wouldn’t believe me.This was the most powerful type of magic there was, one that I had never done before. One that had never been successful before. But I stood there, beneath the silvery moonlight, clinching onto hope and the enchantment that flowed from my Nana’s lips.I could do it, I reassured myself. I could be something. I could be different and that was the one thing that kept echoing in my head.The fact that I could actually be happy, happy with Denver and my two kids. No one after us, just peace. Don’t we all de
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Hundred Twenty-Nine: The Curse.
NANA ABIGAIL.For the most of my life, I think I’ve been a horrible person.The mere fact that I was born a witch proved exactly that. I was a traitor, a manipulator, a liar. A liar.A liar.But I wasn’t always like this. We weren’t always like this. Cursed. I was also once a little girl with an older sister she looked up to like a god. A mother that was the best there could have been. I had a family who loved and would do anything for each other.We were Witches. For the longest time, we journeyed across the earth to find ourselves a home. Then we found the haven in Oakland. The people were happy, everyone was happy with my father. He had led us to safety, he had cared for us, all the Witches.We were the happiest we could have ever been. But then the Werewolves came, they too had found a home in Oakland. The town itself, wasn’t always like this. Nestled in the hills and forest, it was a town away from mortal eyes. Its cobblestone streets were laced with enchantment. We had made thi
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Hundred Twenty-Eight: The Night Of A Full Moon.
ELIANA. "Tonight is the night of the full moon."Denver’s voice hit my ears softly as I rolled onto him. I fluttered my eyes open to the little sunlight that poured in through the curtained windows. I couldn’t help but groan tiredly even after the nap I had just taken.It had been the busiest morning, from helping Denver’s entire Pack settle in to preparing for the spell tonight, fyi I didn’t need a reminder because only then did I feel the tension weave through me. And I was barely even awake. My hands wrapped around Denver as I laid on his chest.There was this comfort that came from hearing his heartbeat and being that close to his skin. Perhaps, he knew which was why he stayed still. I felt his hands wrap around my waist too.A deep sigh escaped my lips.I ended up lifting my gaze to him and I caught him already staring down at me. “Ugh please don’t remind me” I groaned softly. “It’s almost like I should just stay here forever” I whispered. Denver’s palms weaved into my clothing
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Hundred Twenty-Seven: Home.
ELIANA.“I regret to inform you that Cory suffered a fall inside the building, and on top of that was almost crushed by some of the debris that had fallen” The doctor explained with a piece of paper in his hands. His eyes fell to Thelma especially whose hands held up her chin in a tragic manner.The remnant of all the tears she had cried clung desperately to her lashes and at that moment, a hard lump slipped down her throat.“With a fall like that and everything that happened, it’s not uncommon to be presented with some signs of head trauma which would explain his partial loss of memory and inability to do the things he was once doing.”I folded my arms across my chest, dashing a glare at Denver. His face was filled with unease and an emotion I couldn’t quite decipher. Like every word that came out of the doctor’s mouth was a thorn poking him in his chest. I saw the way he looked at Cory laying there.That was his best friend. His person. His brother when Blake wasn’t. And he was jus
