LOGIN"I, Alpha Malik Denver hereby reject you, Eliana Jacobs as my mate and Luna." His voice was like a sword through my chest, slicing my heart into a million tiny pieces. He looked at me with a commanding glare and I knew I didn't have much of an option. "I, Eliana Jacobs, accept your rejection." I whispered as my hands fell to my stomach because unbeknownst to the Alpha, I was carrying his child. - Eliana Jacobs had been through hell her entire life. Ever since her mother died, she'd been abused by her whole pack. No one but her understood the kind of pain she went through until then one night, she decided to flee from her pack. However, destiny led her into the hands of Malik Denver, the most ruthless of all Alphas in Oakland and the leader of her own rival pack. In a twist of fate, he took her in and saved her from becoming rogue. But all in exchange for one thing—a child. Two years had passed and not only had Eliana fallen in love with Denver, she also finds out she’s finally pregnant. But before she could even break the news to him, he shockingly rejects her. “This is over!” He said. Distraught and devastated, Eliana once again decides to run away but this time to somewhere far away. It wasn’t until six years had passed that something unexpected brings her back to Oakland. But now, she isn’t alone, she’s with a six year old boy. How would Denver take the news of her return? Would he finally regret his decision to let her go? And alas, what would happen when he finds out about his secret baby?

모든 것은 몇 시간 전에 시작되었다.
나는 라파엘의 아파트에서 신발을 손에 쥔 채 뛰쳐나왔다. 마음은 산산조각났고, 눈은 분노로 부풀어 있었다. 핸드폰은 여전히 진동하고 있었지만, 나는 그의 메시지를 읽을 엄두조차 나지 않았다. 구할 것은 아무것도 없었다. 우리도, 그가 사랑이라 부르던 그 거짓말도.
나는 한참을 걸었다. 추위 속에서, 아무 목적지 없이, 카산드르가 전화를 걸어오기까지.
마치 그녀가 알고 있었던 것처럼. 마치 그녀가 나를 기다리고 있었던 것처럼.
"나 시내에 왔어." 그녀가 말했다. "와. 한잔 하자. 기분 전환 좀 해야지, 우리 애기."
우리 애기. 그녀는 절대 그렇게 부르지 않았다. 그 말은 함정처럼 공중에 메아리쳤다.
경계했어야 했다.
하지만 나는 너무 산산조각난 상태였다. 너무 외로웠다. 그래서 나는 좋다고 했다.
바는 비현실적으로 보였다. 너무나 찬란한 영화의 한 장면처럼. 카산드르는 재빠른 포옹으로 나를 맞이했다. 거의 진심처럼 보이는 포옹으로. 그녀는 새틴 소재의 검은 드레스를 입고 있었다. 절제됐지만 도발적이었고, 칼날처럼 반짝이는 귀걸이를 하고 있었다.
"너 정말 아름답다." 그녀가 내게 속삭였다. "망가진 상태에서도, 엄청난 뭔가를 뿜어내고 있어."
나는 희미한 미소를 지었다. 그냥 울지 않으려고 짓는 그런 미소.
"나 모든 걸 망쳤어, 카스… 다른 여자랑 있는 걸 봤어. 그의 집에서. 우리 침대에서. 그는 몇 달 동안 나한테 거짓말을 했어."
그녀는 두 팔을 활짝 벌리고 데킬라 두 잔을 주문했다.
"우리에게 상처만 주는 남자들에게."
첫 잔은 화상처럼 넘어갔다. 두 번째 잔은 해방감처럼. 나는 그녀에게 말했다. 모든 걸 털어놓았다. 산산조각난 마음을: 라파엘과의 만남, 약속들, 미래 계획들, 내가 아직 그를 사랑할 때의 어지러움, 그리고 내가 유일하게 그걸 믿고 있었다는 것을 깨달았을 때의 메스꺼움까지.
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
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
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
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
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 r
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 s
ELIANA.Not only did the tears in my eyes blur my vision but the dust from the earth shaking and quaking did too. Both Blake and I were underneath it, and Denver was above it. There was a loud thud, deafening. There were so many loud thuds and bangs as the building collapsed.It was only a matter of t
BLAKE.The room had turned pitch black. The door was nowhere in sight, I had been trapped by walls and ceilings that had fallen all around me. There was no way to make it past the debris—it looked like the end. Perhaps, it was the end.I lifted my gaze to the flames which licked the walls hungrily. On
