All Chapters of Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

ELIANA. We’d been at this for more than five hours.Secluded within the four-cornered inventory that was home to what was left of my mother—the things my Dad had kept that belonged to her which were boxes and boxes of photos, and clothes. And Jewelry.My hands flicked through the dusty pile of papers as I heaved out a sigh. I only just realized how much of her things my Dad kept. It was almost everything she had, every dress she wore, down to every photo of her. I had gone through about a hundred up until now. In search of clues and hints that may be able to lead me back to my brother. I didn’t even know this place existed until today. Before, it was only a room wedged with a tightly sealed door where the rest of the Pack were prohibited from coming close to.I always wondered what was behind it. Little did I know they were the memories of my Mum that my Dad was trying so hard to keep alive. Only God knew how many times he came down here—to feel as close to her as I did at that mom

ELIANA. "Spiritus antiquus, umbra lucis. Verba arcanis, potestas magica” My voice echoed through the walls as I sat on the ground, hands spread across my thighs and my eyes closed. Abruptly, there was a wave of breeze that swept by the room, blowing off all the candles I had lit.It was then that I opened my eyes, a heavy sigh escaping my lips. “What are you trying to do now?” Nathaniel asked. It was just the both of us left in the room. My Dad and Nana had gone with Blake who promised to come back. But I told myself I wasn’t going to leave until I cracked a way to open my mother’s journal.Seeing my determination, Nathaniel chose to stay with me too. Although, he had done more talking than actually helping. I stood up from the floor, running my hands through my hair.“I was trying to see if there was a way to contact my mother. Maybe her spirit, anything that could help us” I muttered. But that even was to no avail. As if my mother hadn’t already warned me about summoning her, my

SUSANNAH.TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS AGO.“Do you know how you got that scar on your neck?” I whispered, lifting my eyes to Nathaniel as I made him a cup of coffee. The stove flames cracked in the silence of the room before I spoke. He was only just sitting in that chair, staring blankly around the chamber walls.Then his eyes met mine, just as he shook his head. “No” There was a crack in his voice and a faded smile that crept to my lips as I remembered that day.“I used to take you out in the sun, you would cry every afternoon if I ever forgot so one day, I was cradling you in my arms. I just needed you to stay still for a moment,” I scoffed. “So I placed you in the wooden bassinet for just a second while I went to attend to something inside.”“And before I knew it, you’d rolled out of it and fallen to the ground. You scratched the side of your neck against the floor but the thing is you didn’t even cry. I think that was the moment I knew you were very strong and Gerald could tell too because

SUSANNAH.TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS AGO.Months later, Nathaniel was standing was standing right opposite me and I broke the idea to him. His jaw was agape but I could barely tell what he was thinking.“It makes sense, doesn’t it?” I questioned, eyes bright on the pinnacle of a solution but Nathaniel heaved a sigh. “It’s way too risky, mum. You can’t do that. You can’t suppress your Witch side just like that” He said.“You can, there’s a reason the spell is in this book, a reason it exists. I’m tired, I’m just done. I don’t want to be a Hybrid anymore, sometimes I just want to be a werewolf like Gerald. Like everyone else, I’m tired of being different and the good thing is, killing one side would also free you”“Think about it, the Witches would no longer be after you, after any of us. We could be a family, Nathaniel. You, me and Eliana. She won’t have to go through what I went through because she would be normal too and if normal means just a werewolf, I would take it in this instance” I ar

ELIANA.“Eliana!” Denver called as I brushed past his shoulders. For a moment, his hands slipped through mine but he was unable to grasp me backward. Something about my last words has struck him like a blow. He was riled up while I, on the other hand was manic.Everything had come down to this—the moment I realized my mother had indeed found a way to break the Hybrid Curse and even though I knew the risks, I was still willing to take them. Because just like her, I think I don’t want to be a Hybrid anymore and I don’t want Elijah nor the baby when she’s grown to have to face these difficult choices.Having to constantly look over your shoulders, spending your whole life waiting for the next shoe to drop because as long as you’re this, there’s always going to be something and I was just done. But most of all, I sought a way to protect my kids.No one would understand that, I resolved. Not even Denver.“Are you out of your mind?!” His voice broke, echoing through the halls as he paced ri
