All Chapters of Pregnant and Rejected (Second chance mate): Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Andrea didn’t really understand why she was smiling as she walked quietly back to her room, her knife tucked safely in her drawer. It was late—moonlight spilling across the dorm floor, casting long shadows—but her face glowed with something close to relief.But why?Why was she happy that Jack wasn’t the one?It wasn’t like she wanted any of them. She wasn’t here for that. She was on a mission. She had a target. Her clan was depending on her. Her father had warned her—again and again—that the alpha might already be close. Maybe even in the same house.And still… her heart had sighed with relief when she saw that Jack’s chest only carried a birthmark.What did that mean?She dropped onto her bed, pulled the blanket up to her chest, and stared blankly at the ceiling. Then, with a soft huff, she reached for her phone and tapped on Elizabeth’s contact.It didn’t take long. Elizabeth answered on the second ring, voice groggy but alert.“Girl… what’s up? It’s almost midnight.”Andrea sat up

The next day dawned cool and crisp, the kind of morning that promised clarity even when the mind was tangled in doubt. Andrea and the boys all dressed quickly, the routine of school pulling them into its rhythm despite the weight each carried. As they walked to class together, the familiar mix of tension and unease simmered beneath their casual façades.Inside the lecture hall, the world seemed to blur and drag. The chemistry lecture—tedious, dense with formulas and equations—felt like an endless loop of monotony. Almost everyone in the room fought to keep their eyes open, save for Rick. He sat upright, alert and focused, his affinity for numbers and formulas apparent in every attentive glance he cast at the board.Andrea’s eyes, however, wandered and flickered, her mind far from the molecules and reactions her professor droned on about. Her thoughts clung tightly to the memory of her father’s voice—the echo that haunted her days and dreams alike.Remember, Elena, he had said with tha

The dream had begun to feel like a curse that followed Andrea into every waking moment. It didn’t just haunt her at night—it bled into her days, her thoughts, her skin. Even the silence around her seemed to whisper the same words again and again.“Kill them.”Her father’s voice, sharp and commanding, replayed on a loop in her head.“If you can’t find the Alpha, kill all of them.”Each night it got louder. Each morning it echoed longer.She could hear him when she walked down the hallway, when she washed her face, when she blinked too long in the dark. No matter how far she ran from the mission, the nightmare caught up. Even when she buried herself in movies until dawn, the memory would crawl under her skin and grip her spine.She hadn’t slept at all. Not a minute. Her eyes were sore, and her head felt like it was stuffed with cotton. But she didn’t care. She was relieved when morning came—as if the daylight might finally keep the demons at bay.As soon as the sun peeked through the cu

The next morning arrived with a thick silence.Andrea had barely slept. The nightmares hadn’t let her rest, and though her body begged for sleep, her mind was a battlefield. When the sun rose, it didn’t feel like a new day—it felt like another round.Just as they were preparing to head to school, an unexpected announcement came.The principal’s voice rang from the school’s PA system, interrupting the morning buzz in the hallways. “Attention, students. Today’s lectures have been canceled. Teachers are attending an important authority meeting. Please head home—classes will not be held today.”The reaction was instant. Cheers, claps, excited murmurs filled the corridors. Everyone was thrilled. Everyone except Andrea, who just let out a soft sigh of relief.She hadn’t wanted to be at school today anyway. Not after last night. Not with her thoughts so loud.As she slung her backpack over one shoulder, her face looked calm on the outside—but inside, she was mentally exhausted. School had fe

Jack’s voice was shaky.Andrea held her phone tightly to her ear, her brows furrowed and heart beginning to race. “He started…? What’s going on, Jack?”There was a silence. Jack exhaled sharply on the other end of the line.“Andrea,” he said, voice trembling. “Have you seen Jaxon?”Andrea blinked, startled. “What do you mean? I thought you both went out. Basketball or something.”Jack’s voice came in, tighter now, clipped by anxiety. “Yeah, that’s what we were doing. I was with him. But then—he suddenly said he needed to go back home. Said he forgot something. He just rushed out.”Andrea frowned. “So… what’s wrong?”“That’s the thing. You said he’s not at home, right? You didn’t see him?”“No, I just got here with Rick. Why?”Jack hesitated.“His phone’s off,” he said finally. “I’ve been calling. Over and over. No response. It just keeps saying it’s switched off.”Andrea’s heart skipped. Her pulse thudded unevenly.Rick noticed her tense posture and stood beside her, looking at her wi
