Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Sixty-Two: The Only Crime.
ELIANA. As I stepped out of the door, the first thing I did was look around for Denver. I caught a glimpse of him as he strutted behind Blake and my Dad’s Beta Phil alongside some guards who were to lead them outside. I was just about running towards him when Elijah gripped my hands. I turned to look at my son whose face was scrunched up a bit. And then he folded his arms. “Hey, Elijah” I crouched low towards him.“What's the matter?”His lips parted with reluctance before he said, “It’s just that you’re always leaving every time. You and Dad, you’re always leaving” He pouted with a crack in his voice and my heart melted at that moment. I ran my hands through his hair, cradling him closer to me.“Oh Elijah” I heaved.“I wish I didn’t have to leave, all the time and I’m sorry if it feels like I’m barely around. I wish it was different, I want it to be different. I want to wake up on a normal day with you by my side and we spend the rest of the day together—“ His eyes lit up.“Like in
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Sixty-Three: The Fate Of Nora 1.
ELIANA.I placed a hand against the door and slowly, it gave way. The air inside the dungeon was humid and moist and the light was barely fathomable. I heard an echo of his footsteps as I drew nearer to the cell.“What are you doing here?” His voice was hoarse and deep as his fingers clung around the railings of the cage. And when I finally came to a halt, I pushed the plate of food that I’d brought over to him.His tainted eyes fell to the ground before raising them back at me.“I brought you something” I heaved. “And how am I sure this isn’t laced with wolfsbane? How am I meant to trust my captor?” He said and for a moment, the silence was piercing before Blake laughed it off.“I’m kidding. I’m kidding” He blurted out, diving right into the plate and I scoffed lightly from my lips. “You should have seen your face” He teased with his mouth full and I leaned against his cage.“For all it’s worth, it doesn’t have wolfsbane in it. I’m not sure of what my Father has his guards feeding yo
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Sixty-Four: The Fate Of Nora 2.
ELIANA.For a moment, I just stood there. My eyes boring into the mirror right in front of me as I washed my hands and my face and every part of my body that was smudged and stained with her blood. Every inch reminded me of my failure to protect my sister. And even after some time had passed, there were still tears in my eyes that went ahead to stream down my cheeks.I shut off the tap, heaving a deep breath before running my hands across my face. The wet strands of my hair fell across my temples and I took a step back. It stung…it stung a lot. Because this was yet another life Jaxon had taken and to think it was his blood sister’s. It was clear he was going to stop at nothing until he got what he wanted and for the past twenty hours, it just seemed like he was winning and he was taking everything down with him.Nora didn’t deserve to die. Not that way, not in my arms begging me to save her but at the end of the day, I couldn’t. She had to drink my blood but she died before she coul
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Sixty-Five: Land Of The Dead.
ELIANA. I grasped the last candle remaining, lighting it and placing it full circle around her body just like the rest of them. I needed the whole room which I paced back and forth to do the spell. And it was a race against time because every second longer Nora stayed dead, the harder it was going to be for me to bring her back. "Eliana" My Nana called from behind and from her tone, I knew exactly what she was about to say next. I stood up straight and her brows curled with wry. "It's a really difficult spell, Eliana. I myself can't even do it" She muttered. I pulled out the spell book."Well we're different. And I have exactly what I need" I replied, leaning over to remove the fabric from Nora's face. Her eyes were closed and her skin was a pale blue-black color. Luckily it hadn't been so long.I heaved a deep breath, bringing my eyes to meet Denver's after I made him promise me to not interfere with this. And even though he remained quiet and folded his arms, I could see the worr
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Sixty-Six: Let’s Get Out Of Here.
ELIANA. “Spectra et umbras, aperite portas”Nora’s eyes were brazen with surprise as they fell on me. She stood up to her feet and could barely contain her words. “You came” She said. I nodded my head. “I said I was going to protect you…”“Of course I came” I replied and she pressed her lips together. By that time, I inched close enough to her. “Now, let’s get out of here.” With a hand stretched out to her, Nora looked back and forth doubtfully. “Get out of here?” She echoed, a little bewildered with an arch between her brows and I nodded. “I know a way. I can get you out of here” “You mean resurrect me?” She echoed as I pulled her arms. At that moment, I looked down at the dress she was wearing which was the exact one she’d died in. It was a good thing she wasn’t in white yet. Even the blood stain was still lodged in her sides but it was fading away quickly. “It’s not too late now” I heaved. “Just come with me, I’ll tell all you about it later” Nora slipped her hands through mine
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Sixty-Seven: The Crown.
ELIANA. It wasn’t until after I walked out of that room and past the corridor that I realized it was daylight outside the window. A deep breath heaved out of my lips, beyond glad that the tumultuous night had come to an end. As I reached the door to my Father’s room, I came to a halt. A gust of air blew into my face and I went over my lines in my head before finally raising my hands to knock. It was his guard who opened the door and the next eyes that met mine were Phil’s. “Where is my Dad?” I breathed heavily. The air inside his chambers was already cold and somewhat tense and Phil brought his eyes over to the desk right in the corner and my father was seated right behind it. I sauntered towards him and he took his eyes off the paper in his hands.Our eyes met, it was nice to see him easing back into normal pack duties and documentation after everything that happened but this conversation had been long overdue.“Eliana” He called out as I came to a halt in front of him. “To what d
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Sixty-Eight: I’m Glad I Left.
ELIANA.By the time I finally rested my eyes and opened them, it was already afternoon and I was lazily slouched beneath the thick silky sheets. I yawned the moment I sat up on the bed to face Denver who stood right beside me. He folded his arms with a cursive smile.And I had no idea how long he'd been standing there, watching me sleep.A soft chuckle escaped my lips as I turned to the side and he sat on the bed. "It's about time" He whispered. I yawned again. Damn, I was really tired. I had no idea I needed that much sleep. The last thing I remembered was standing opposite my father with the crown on my head after what really was a chaotic night. My eyes gazed out of the windows. I could hardly believe this was only the day after."I was so tired" I whispered to Denver and he ran his hands softly through my hair. "I was about to force you to sleep after your meeting with your Dad" He joked, the last of his words reenforcing some necessary silence. Our eyes met at that moment."How

DENVER.“Here!” I sliced the air with a sword and Eliana met me halfway. She wedged her body against the weapon and a proud smile crept to her lips. “See, I got it this time” She whispered softly but the moment her eyes darted away, I swung my arms again, slashing her weapon out of her hands. She turned to me with a gasp as her sword hit the grounds.“You” She gritted through her teeth.“I never said the fight was over” I shrugged. Her hands fell to her hips as she narrowed her eyes. I placed my weapon down now. “Well, it is now” I told her, a smirk creeping to my lips. “I told you to be mindful of the enemy’s next move. As long as you have no idea, the more careful you ought to be” Brushing past her shoulders, I reached for a bottle of water before tossing her one more. “Jaxon is very sneaky but you already know that” I muttered. She was breathless from her lips as she downed the bottle of water. We had been at this since afternoon, training tirelessly for her fight. And don’t get

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
Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby Hundred-Thirty: Till Death Do Us Part.
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
