Semua Bab Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby: Bab 81 - Bab 90

ELIANA. I sat at the big, dining table across which was a variety of food and delicious dishes. Everyone squeezed around, passing plates and murmuring words beneath their lips. Most of all, they were all smiling and happy.I can’t remember the last time we had a feast here or even if we’d ever had a feast. It was all too fitting after everything we’d all been through, that my reign began with a dinner of celebration.All the inconspicuous whispers and chattering swept through my ears as I looked around the table. The room was cozy, lit up with soft lights which hung from the ceiling. The sound of laughter and stories mixed together.Kids screaming in excitement, darting through relatives for food, their faces aglow with innocence and joy, making the air feel even warmer and happier. A smile brushed along my lips as Elijah scurried back and forth where I sat. “Are you sure you don’t want anything?” Denver’s voice suddenly echoed from above and I tilted my head to face him. “Nothing,

ELIANA.The soft piano music waltzed through my ears as I crept closer to the door. I gathered the hems of my flowing white dress, a sigh escaping my lips which only grazed against my veil. And chill went up my spine the moment the cold air hit my face.Thelma, on my right hand, held around me a little tighter and when I looked at her, my face turned crimson. “I can’t believe I’m finally doing this” I whispered. Only for my Nana, on my left hand to respond to me.“You’ve got this, Eliana” Her voice was as delicate as it was comforting and I nodded. “Remember how much you’ve wanted this. Well here it is, here is your happily ever after behind that door” She added, restoring the color into my cheeks and my eyes stung with a few tears.Happy tears.At that moment, the door drew open to the adorned Pack halls, as soon as I took my first step in, everyone’s eyes turned to me and there was a chorus of a few gasps. However, the only eyes that I met were his.Denver was standing at a distance

ELIANA.I slipped in my shorts before putting on my t-shirt. For a second, I halted in front of the mirror, running my hands through my messy hair. Once I was certain I was at least presentable, I walked back to the door, opening it for Ivan to come back in.Now, his eyes met mine with a harrowing look. I looked down at the papers in his hands. I could just tell something was wrong even though I couldn’t quite put a finger on it. But he was different.He was restive.“Ivan,” I had to call his name again. What was so difficult that he couldn’t say? That he was so disoriented and disturbed. Was it me? Was it Denver who still wasn’t here by the way after promising to make it back by morning? I looked everywhere but he hadn’t come. “What is it, Ivan?” I asked him one last time with my patience running thin and only then did a hard lump slip down his throat. “There’s something that you should know, Alpha Eliana” The tone of his voice made my heart sink in my chest.“What happened?” I ques

IVAN.I pulled out my phone to press it against my ear. As I paced up and down the stable, heavy impatient breaths escaped my lips. Nathaniel’s line was ringing but for the past two days, I’d heard nothing from him.“Please, Nathaniel” I sent him my umpteenth voicemail, gritting my words through my teeth. “It’s been two days, call me back when you get this. I’m starting to get worried” I added. Given how we last left things, of course I was worried. I already hated fights.But to end on such note with someone you cared about, it was horrifying.“And please, return the sample of Eliana’s blood. I promise you I’m not mad. In fact I understand how much this research means to you. So if you just come home, I promise to help” I ended the message, clutching my phone in my hands. I stood out in the cold stable, breezing heavily out of my lips with my hands in my pocket. It was nearly winter and the snow wasn't holding back this season. I kicked my feet forward and turned around. Walking bac

ELIANA.“Hi Cory”My lips curled with a whisper as I leaned my back against the wall. “Have you…uhm have you heard from Denver?” I asked the one person who would know where Denver was. Regrettably, I wished I’d done this sooner. And luckily, he picked up. So that would mean he and the Pack were safe. The most of them left for Tombsdale right after the wedding. “Actually,” Cory heaved. “I just spoke with him. He was here not so long ago but he already left” His words forced a breath of relief out of my lips. “Oh my God” I ran my hands through my hair.“What is it? Any problem?” Cory asked. My saliva moistened my dry throat as I muttered. “I’d been calling him all morning and left even a hundred voicemails but he hasn’t replied any. I was just beginning to worry” Beginning…I had no idea how worried I already was.“Oh well, yes” Cory paused. “He hasn’t really been with his phone.” “Typical Denver” I scoffed beneath my breath, taking a seat by the edge of my bed. “One might think he wo
