Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 25: Kiss
Eden’s POV“KILL myself? What are you talking about?” His expression changed then. He went from shock to confusion. He cocked his head to the side. “I was having a bath. A BATH, Zane. Nothing more.” Realization dawned on him and he looked slightly embarrassed. Clearly, he’d made a massive mistake. I wrapped my robe around me. I felt exposed. “Can you please get me some clothes?” I asked. This was so embarrassing. He’d just seen me naked and now I was wearing a wet robe. “In the dresser. I think there’s some left.”He nodded. Moments later, he passed me a dress. Then he turned around. I took off the robe and pulled the dress over my head. “Why did you just come barging in here like that? This is a bathroom. It’s private,” I told him. “You can turn around.”He faced me then with an apologetic look. “I can explain,” he said.How? How could he explain this? Was there NO privacy here? He had already taken away my freedom. I was forced to sleep in HIS room, in the same bed as him so I didn
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 26: The Bite
Eden’s POVOur lips locked and I felt an indescribable wave of pure power flow through me. It coursed through every fiber of my being. He pressed his lips against mine harder, with fervor. I saw a flash of white light as I kissed him back.I wanted more, needed more. He pulled back and our eyes locked. He traced my lower lip with his thumb.“Eden,” he said in a raspy voice. Then he looked at me with lust in his eyes. I leaned back into him, my mouth partially open. He kissed me passionately, as our tongues twirled around. I reached around and clutched at his broad back. I could feel his strong muscles under his shirt. He was powerful and so damned hot. I was overcome with desire.He pulled back my head and sent hot kisses up and down my neck. I shivered as he brought his mouth to my ear. I could feel his breath as he whispered, “You’re so beautiful, Eden.”I feel my need for him grow inside me. He lifted me in his arms and laid me down on the bed. His weight pressed into me. He lifted
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 27: Refusal
Zane’s POVI blinked in disbelief. She had…had she? Had Eden just refused us? Slade whined from deep within me. Her knees were drawn into her chest and she had a sad look on her face.She had pushed me away! But why? I turned away from her.I was starting to realize that Eden, despite her gentle appearance, was quite spirited. She always managed to surprise me with her actions.Like that morning when she asked to visit the training grounds. Few girls showed interest in training, but she seemed genuinely excited. What caught me off guard even more was when she insisted on sparring with one of my best warriors to join in the training!My warriors ridiculed her. They said Eden was perfectly safe here, that’s right. There was no threat to her, not while under my guard in the palace. And even if something did come up, some sort of unexpected danger…well…I would protect her, obviously. It’s not like I had a choice. Slade was obsessed with Eden; he couldn’t stay away from her. Eden was ada
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 28: Training
Eden’s POVThe King angrily stormed out of the room before I could explain.He said I still loved Caleb but that wasn’t true. I don’t know why he said that. I was talking about him and Astrid and his need to be loyal to her. I was attracted to him, yes, but that wasn’t love. He loved Astrid. He should wait for her. I’ve never understood it, the way some men act. How can they be with one woman when they love another in their heart? It’s not right.But that’s exactly what he was just trying to do. To sleep with me even though he loved Astrid. I suddenly felt disgusted. Was he really that type of man? The type that didn’t care? The type that would just be with someone, anyone, even someone they didn’t love.Anyway, the moment he left, I gathered my things and moved back into my old bedroom.I didn’t hear anything from Zane the following week.He didn’t come to see me in my bedroom. He didn’t invite me to eat with him. And he certainly didn’t demand that I sleep with him in his bed. Wi
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 29: Hot Gaze
Eden’s POVThe shadow lurked in the window.“Who’s there?” I demanded again. But it didn’t move. Fear prickled through me. Was this figure…was it dangerous? Why else would it be lurking outside my window like this? The night air was silent, still. My fear rose until…I could defend myself. I am a trained warrior now. I wasn’t weak and useless. So I reacted. I grabbed the knife on my bedside stand and ran to the window. The figure bolted. I threw back the doors that opened out to the garden. Moonlight flooded the grass. I looked left, then right. And that’s when I saw it, a dark shadow running through the garden. I gripped my knife and chased after it.I tore through the grass. I was stronger and faster now because of all my training. He didn’t have much of a head start; it wasn’t long before I caught up with him. I lunged at the tall, dark finger, my knife poised to stab it in the back.But just as I lunged, the figure turned around. He grabbed my wrist, stopping the knife in mid-air.
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 30: Truth I
Eden’s POV“Stay still,” he ordered. “I’m healing you. Lycan saliva speeds up the healing process,” he said between licks. So that’s why he was licking me? To heal me? I didn’t know that about Lycans. I stopped trying to pull away. It tickled. His tongue was wet and warm. I quivered from the sensation.“I feel you quivering,” he said, his voice husky. He looked at me with desire in his eyes. “Why are you trying to fight this, Eden?”“Fight what?” I asked, confused. I had stopped struggling. I was letting him lick my wound.“Your feelings for me.”I balked and my mouth fell open. My what?“You have feelings for me,” he stated. I tried to withdraw my arm. He held it tightly. He blew on my wound, now wet from his saliva. “I know you do. I can sense it. You’re restraining yourself though. And I don’t know why.”His breath was hot on my arm. Why was he looking at me like that, like he wanted me, like he desired me, like he cared about me?I bit my lip. “I don’t understand you, Zane. Why
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 31: She’s There
Eden’s POVMy wolf was powerful? But why hadn’t she revealed herself to me? My thoughts spun. If he could feel her, why couldn’t I?This was crazy! I had spent my whole life thinking, no – BELIEVING – that I didn’t have a wolf. I had been ridiculed and tormented for it. Just a weak, wolfless girl. No good to anyone. No power. No strength.But now the Lycan King was telling me otherwise.He was smiling at me, a sinful smile, a smile that spoke of desire.“You’re so beautiful,” he said, stroking my cheek with his thumb. My heart raced. He was so damned sexy. So strong. His scent washed over me – white pine and amber. His face inched towards mine as he cupped my chin in his big, strong hand.He gazed wistfully into my eyes. And the world fell away. I was powerless to stop him. That’s how I felt. Powerless in his hold. Slowly, he brought his lips towards mine. They were so close now, only inches apart. I could feel his breath. He tipped my chin back. His heart pounded in his chest. I h
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 32: Jealousy
Zane’s POVFor me, Eden is like a magical cure for Slade. There are many things she doesn’t need to know. That’s how I felt until tonight. When I saw her vulnerability, my heart tightened, and I couldn’t just sit by and do nothing.I told her I could feel her she-wolf, and she seemed to blossom like a withered flower being given new life. Slade is happy because she’s happy, and so am I.Because we’re mates.Yes, Eden is my mate, I can feel her she-wolf. I knew it when we met again in the dark forest. But I didn’t tell her.

As the last Lycan and a powerful King, I’ll be lonely until the end of my life.I won’t tell her about our mate-bond. She won’t know the truth, until her wolf shows up.If it weren’t for Slade’s instability, I would have let her go already. But Slade relies on her too much. She can’t feel our mate-bond, so
