Chapter: Chapter 90.HAZEL.I sat at the dinner table for the past hour, having barely touched my food. I was so lost in my thoughts until I heard Beth's voice. "Mommy you're not eating..." I fluttered my lashes, looking to see the concern etched between her brows. "I am," I whispered, forcing some food into my mouth. I couldn't remember the last time in the past three weeks that I had a complete meal. I dropped my hands to the table and David put down his tablet too."We're so excited to start school next month, Nicholas showed us our many options and he told us this one was the best," David said, showing me a picture of the new school on his tablet. I reached for it, and a hard lump slipped down my throat."Did he tell you anything else?" There was a crack in my voice."Yeah—" David replied. For a moment, my heart stumped but he only scoffed. "He said we have a better chance at making friends at Lakeside, that we could finally live normal lives since what happened," David recounted with a long face. H

Chapter: Chapter 89.EVELYN. I heaved a deep breath before my hands knocked on the door. My feet nervously tapped against the wooden porch of the house that belonged to my foster parents. Every second that passed, my mind was racing with thoughts. I had no idea what was behind this door. The streets hadn't changed much, the house either. It had always been this warm beige colored bungalow and as I stood there, it was easy for the memories to come flooding back to me. I couldn't believe I was going to see Dylan again after so long. He had no idea I was coming because none of my calls ever went through so here I was in South Dakota, knocking on his door. The last three weeks for me had been a blur, journeying halfway across the states and staying longer in motels because I had cold feet, I'd been so nervous about coming home but finally, I had mustered enough courage to show up here. I had no idea how fast fly by so fast but occasionally, I thought about Hazel and wondered why she never reached out

Chapter: Chapter 88.EDEN.The sound of my revving motorcycle drew close before coming to a halt and I alighted from it in a helmet and a black racer jacket. I walked towards the door, nodding to the security guards that stood right in front of it and it was only when I got inside that I took off my helmet and pushed a hard lump down my throat."Have you got anything?" A voice echoed from the darkness. In the room was a large table on top of which was a hat next to a gun and when a chair drew forward, I tried to make out the face of the man behind it. "Nothing yet,” I cupped his chin, my voice a lot lower than the raging figure behind the desk."Do you know how much time we have left—not much!" A hand slammed into the desk, only his eyes glinting in the shadow. “I’m sorry,” I whispered and there was a long pause. A pause that allowed my heart to creep into the back of my throat."I don't want your apologies,” He rudely struck back. "All I want is for that bastard to pay back what he owes me.” The boss ad

Chapter: Chapter 87.HAZEL. "It's been three weeks,” I forced the words out of my mouth. My voice cracked the second I mounted the podium next to my aunt in a coffin. I was in my black dress, my hands trembling by my side, and my heart still in immense grief and sadness. My eyes were puffy. I had no makeup on, either. Time seemed nonexistent since Agnes passed. Since I heard the news and fell to the ground in the hospital that day. Nothing made sense. Nothing was worth it anymore. "I'm sorry, your aunt didn't make it,” Bryson’s voice kept echoing in my head over and over again as the weeks passed. The sight and scent of the hospital haunted me too and whenever it all came back, overwhelming me, I would just burst into tears. I had cried until I couldn’t anymore. For days, I tried but no tears came out. Until now. I thought I had it under control. I swore I wasn’t going to cry at her funeral. There were flowers everywhere and a bunch of sad, long faces. The air was filled with the lingering feeling

Chapter: Chapter 86.EVELYN. "You've reached Hazel Bennett, I'm probably busy or something so please leave a message that I would probably never get to—" I hung up the phone before her voicemail recording even stopped. I had tried calling Hazel for the umpteenth time but to no avail and I would've left her a message if only I didn't know she never checked her voicemail. My eyes dropped to the suitcase in my hands and I let out a sigh. My flight was tonight too so I couldn't drop by Nicholas's house before leaving which meant I couldn't see her. Everything happened so fast, from deciding to visit my foster parents to booking the flight and ultimately packing my bags. I knew I needed an escape, or perhaps maybe just a time away. I just didn't want Hazel to think I abandoned her. So I drafted a letter and left it on top of her dresser, hoping that one of these days, she would come here when I'm gone then she'd see it. I wasn't sure how long I would be gone, either. It all depended on whether Dylan was oka

Chapter: Chapter 85.HAZEL. I was numb. While my whole world crashed beneath my feet, I was numb. There was a piercing sound that rang through my ears and the throbbing of my heartbeat in the back of my throat was loud. I had never felt this miserable until now. Merely the thought of losing my aunt rendered me so powerless and weak. I dropped to the ground, holding her up in my arms. Agnes’s eyes were closed and her body was cold and her light grey hair fell across her forehead."Something's wrong,” I called out to Nicholas and there was a crack in my voice. I threw my head over my shoulders, watching him grasp his phone to call 911. He was just in his eyes about to ask me to marry him but oh how everything can change in mere seconds. There I was with the crippling fear of losing Agnes. Something I never thought was possible, at least not for many years. And even those years, I never looked forward to. "Call for help!" I yelled, hoping it was loud enough to quiet the noisy thoughts that raced through

Rejected Mate’s Secret Baby
"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?

Chapter: Hundred Thirty-Five: La Dolce Vita.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

Chapter: Hundred Thirty-Four: The Luckiest Man In The World.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

Chapter: Hundred Thirty-Three: Family.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

Chapter: Hundred-Thirty Two: To My Eliana.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

Chapter: Hundred Thirty-One: Carry On.ELIANA. My knees grazed the ground upon where my Grandmother laid and the crown of my head rested upon her chest. Frail, still and quiet. It was the kind of silence that was deafening, that evoked the river of tears streaming down my face. The kind that echoed over and over that my whole world had crumbled, right in front of me—right in my hands. And I held onto Nana's garment, as if maybe I could grasp tightly enough, I may be able to bring her back. But my powers had never felt further from me. Each spell that escaped from my lips was like an echo from an empty vessel. The words didn't form, the winds didn't move. I was no longer a Witch, no longer a Hybrid.Now, those words would've meant the world to me at any moment besides this but right now, right now it was just too much. I cried, right on top of her, I cried until my chest started to ache and my throat was sore and my eyes could no longer bring any more tears.I cried because I had lost the one person that I had—that I thou

Chapter: Hundred-Thirty: Till Death Do Us Part.ELIANA.The full moon rose that night.At about 3 AM, it had hit its apex. The winds coursed through my hair as I gripped my Grandma’s hands. I could still hear her, even with my eyes closed. Her incantations, her magic.For that moment though, I was taken by the night, bathed in ghostly light. The shadows of Denver and my father, and Ivan, all waiting for things to go south so that they stepped in. I had assured them I had the spell under control but of course they wouldn’t believe me.This was the most powerful type of magic there was, one that I had never done before. One that had never been successful before. But I stood there, beneath the silvery moonlight, clinching onto hope and the enchantment that flowed from my Nana’s lips.I could do it, I reassured myself. I could be something. I could be different and that was the one thing that kept echoing in my head.The fact that I could actually be happy, happy with Denver and my two kids. No one after us, just peace. Don’t we all de

"I, Mia Harper, reject you, Alpha Lucien Storm." My voice cracked and my eyes were filled with tears.

Chapter: Chapter 27: The Antidote.LUCIEN.I opened my eyes to the sun pouring in through the windows and the first person I saw was Tara. She sat by the edge of the bed with a cup of coffee in her hands which she placed by the bedside."Good morning," She greeted. An exhale left my lips as I sat up. I instinctively looked at the clock to figure out how much time had passed. I didn't realize just how tired I was till I closed my eyes. "It's okay, I told Roman to have you rest and not to wake you." Tara said. "I just—" I ran my hands through my head. I had to see Alice, we were supposed to meet in the clinic early that morning. "I just had to do something that's all," I muttered back to Tara who curved her lips slightly with the expectation of something from me. Like she wanted me to say something. Otherwise, she wouldn't be sitting in front of me. There was also something quite strange in her eyes—an emotion I couldn't decipher. Tara wasn't the easiest to read but I could always tell when something was wrong at leas

Chapter: Chapter 26: Blackout.LUCIEN.My Beta Roman crashed in through the doors, drawing both Mia's and my attention towards him. "She's awake!" He exclaimed. The sight of relief almost instantly washed over Mia's face. "Let's go. We have to see her" She pulled my arms and we walked straight to the clinic. Somehow, I felt so much better with Mia beside me."Alice!" She exhaled, running into her arms. Alice let out a deep breath when Mia hugged her but she too was happy to see her best friend. When Mia pulled away, there were tears in her eyes. "Oh my God. You scared me so so much, Alice." She whispered."What happened?" Alice looked around the room with a questionable expression. "I don't know what happened. Roman said I fell down the stairs but I have no recollection of last night." Alice replied.I arched my brows. "Last night was the ball." I added."It was?""It seems like it was like days ago. My memory is a mess right now." Alice said. There was a bandaid across her temple, a wound probably from the fall

Chapter: Chapter 25: The Promise.LUCIEN. I remembered that night like it was yesterday, the snow falling across the window and the air thick with tension. My mother reached for my hands. This was many years ago, the day I first met Ezra, my brother. My Mum and I found out the same way that my father cheated some time ago with some woman whose name he couldn't even recall. It was around the same time she was pregnant with me. That woman went on to birth this child too. She named him Ezra. However, when she died and eighteen years later, Ezra found his father after searching for a long time. It threw the entire Pack off to learn about the Alpha's secret unnoble child. And it hurt my mother to know that he cheated on her. I was eighteen too when she sat me down. I'd heard all the whispers and the gossip amongst the Pack members and I feared for the truth but if there was anything I remember, it was her holding my hands.

Chapter: Chapter 24: Stay.MIA. Once I had put the kids to bed, I walked back out to the terrace. Time had already passed and it was too late for me to return to the Ball. Too late for Lucien too. I pulled off my dress and put on something more comfortable—a T-shirt and some plaid pants. I walked out onto the terrace and there he was, Lucien, leaning against the wooden railings. At the sound of the door, he threw a look over his shoulders and I walked to him. "They're finally asleep," I whispered. I had his jacket in his hands which I handed over to him."Thank you for this." I said. Lucien reluctantly collected it, a cigarette perched between his lips. He blew it to the winds. It was such a chilly night. I don't think it'd been this cold since I came here."You didn't have to." Lucien collected the jacket. I did. I stood right next to him, folding my arms on the ledge too. I looked over the terrace with the winds blowing through my hair. Lucien let go of the cigarette and crushed it beneath his feet. For a

Chapter: Chapter 23: Fireworks.MIA.The car came to a halt and my eyes parted open slowly. I had fallen asleep and didn't realize we'd already arrived at the cabin. It was half an hour past midnight which only meant we had less time to make it back for the fireworks. But at least, we were here.I walked out of the car, right behind Lucien. "I didn't want to wake you." He muttered over his shoulders. "You seemed to be really tired. I'm not sure you've rested enough since you got back here" Lucien said. "I'll rest once tonight's over" I said. Grabbing the keys, I sauntered up the porch steps. Lena was already waiting by the door when I pushed it open and the kids were in his arms. "Mommy!" Theo leaped towards me and I held around him for a hug."I'm so sorry. Mommy was caught up in something and I had no idea how much time had passed. I really am sorry" I looked up at Lena and all she did was nod. It was Ella who puckered her lips with her arms folded across her chest."We're going to miss the fireworks now. I rea

Chapter: Chapter 22: Car Troubles.MIA.The night started out slow. After my speech, I spent most of the time in Oscar's arms where we danced to the slow, soft music playing from the piano. I intertwined my fingers with his while his other hand fell to my waist. This was my first ball. It was my first dance.Growing up, I wasn't old enough to attend one of these but I remember being here nonetheless. I would sneak in with my mother and peek through the doors. Then father would catch me and he'd yell at the top of his voice.But I wouldn't go back still. Everyone wanted to be at the ball, there was something really magical about it, especially when it snowed. Standing there with Oscar, I could see why it was."Are you okay?" He asked when I pulled away. My eyes narrowed at my watch. It was almost midnight. I ought to return to the cabin to get Lena and my kids before the ball was over. I wasn't sure I wanted them here, at least not yet. But I wanted them out of the house, at least close enough for them to see the fir
