Lahat ng Kabanata ng Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

DENVER.I couldn’t believe she was the one standing in front of me. At the start of the ball, I could swear I caught a glimpse of her and a whiff of her vanilla scent in the air. She captured my attention amidst the tens of thousands of people in the crowd.But I shook my head confidently—it couldn’t be her.Perhaps she had been infused deep into my mind that I was now seeing her where she wasn’t, scenting her when she had disappeared for six years now. I remember pushing a hard lump down my throat, forcing her out of my head like it was even possible.For the past six years, Eliana was all I could about.Some days, I was filled with worry about where she even was. Being a rogue was no easy feat, especially with an Omega like herself. She hadn’t been out in the world and it scared me. On other days, I was filled with regret that the other night ended the way it did.And there was a possibility that I would never see her again. The thing was, I didn’t realize how much Eliana did for

DENVER.I drove the car back to my Pack before coming to an abrupt halt. Pushing the door open, I stormed out of the vehicle and headed straight toward the chamber. My heart was pounding with a fiery rage and my footsteps were heavy enough to crush the dry, crisp leaves beneath my boots.I flung the front door open and the metal clang echoed the fury in my soul. I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as Eliana's voice kept replaying in my head. "Maybe you're the enemy, Denver." Her words stung like an open wound. "I think it's better we just stay away from each other. You stay on your end and I stay on mine. We don't ever have to cross paths again." How could she think I was the one who killed Adam?Did she not have the slightest idea of who I was? Was I that ruthless and monstrous to her that she thought I would do such a thing?The betrayal sliced through my heart, although I wasn't sure entirely why.I was never one to be moved by what anyone thought about me but eve

ELIANA. “This is the part where I kill you.”At the sound of Denver’s deep voice, there was a rumble in the skies. The air was charged with tension just as he swung across to where the other was. Blake, he’d said. That was his name.Up until this moment, I didn’t even know Denver had a brother. Throughout my stay in Black Mountain, I didn’t see him once, and neither did I hear that name. Which could only mean that they weren’t so close. But watching them tear each other apart wasn’t even on my bingo card.Denver had transformed in a split second, so did Blake. And as soon as the moonlight bathed across their furry skin, the ominous growls of the two wolves reverberated through the night. My eyes charged open but I didn’t leave the shed where Denver had told me to stay.He lunged himself at Blake, slashing across his face with sharp claws. His arms clamped around his neck as Denver aimed to sink his razor-sharp fangs into his brother. But the other, a silver-furred werewolf, a darker

ELIANA.“Eliana, wait!” Ivan held out the door as I stormed inside angrily. My fist folded up and my mind was racing with a thousand thoughts.“Eliana!” It took him shouting much louder before I finally came to a halt and with tears in my eyes, I threw a look back at him. “What are you going to do now?” His hands fell to his side and I just shrugged.“Anything but stay here while they’re killing my father slowly. I can’t believe this” I ran my hands through my hair as a tear dropped down mycheeks. “Jaxon must be stopped—““I know that too, we all do. But we have to be wise about it. It has to be at the right time otherwise,” “There is no right time!” I snapped. “You didn’t see my father the other day, I did.” I added.“And I’m not sure how much time he has left, I’m not sure how many doses they have to give him till it’s over but I’m not going to sit back and let it happen” I was about climbing the stairs when Nana wheeled herself out on a chair. Perhaps it was because of the noise b

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
