All Chapters of Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

ELIANA. I burst through the chamber doors only to find my father behind his desk. His face was cowered low and his arms were crossed. The atmosphere was tenser in here than it was outside. “Why didn’t you tell me?” He roared. The moment he lifted his gaze, his eyes sliced through me. “Why didn’t you tell me that Denver killed one of my people? You know that’s where I draw the line, Eliana!” He raised his voice and my words got stuck in the back of my throat.Denver walked in right after me and my Dad fell silent. Both their eyes marked into each other and you would understand if you knew the long-brewing rivalry that existed between the Blood Hounds and the Black Mountain Pack—a rivalry that was supposed to come to an end when either of us would finally become Alpha and the two Packs would merge.But today, Jaxon had torn us a thousand steps backward.“You have some audacity sauntering into here?” My Dad darted a glare as cold as ice to Denver and I was the one who stepped in. “He d

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

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

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

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
