Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 253: Spread Your Legs, Eden
Eden’s POVA sample?I eyed Demetrius cautiously. I knew exactly what he meant. He leered at me while he puffed away on his cigar. The smoke was thick in the room. I coughed loudly.“The cigar smoke isn’t good for my baby,” I told him.He chuckled. Then he held up his cigar and made a show of stabbing it out in a nearby ashtray. “Better?” he asked.I waved the smoke away from my face. He shifted in his seat and uncrossed his legs. His silk robe fell off his knees, revealing his hard member.My heart started to race but I tried to remain calm.“What do you say, Eden?” he asked, standing up. “I know you find me attractive.”What? No, I did not. Not even in the slightest.“I don’t want to fuck your wolf right now. I really want to wait for that. I have a lot of guests paying a lot of money to watch. But that doesn’t mean I can’t fuck you.”He curled his finger at me in a ‘come here’ motion. I stayed fixed in place.“Don’t be shy,” he said. “I won’t hurt you. Not MUCH, anyway.”I recoiled
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 254: Calista
Zane’s POVMother? Did she just say mother?As in…Eden’s mother?But that was impossible. Eden’s mother was dead. At least, that’s what both Alpha Miles and Eden had told me.I stared in bewilderment at this strange woman. The woman who had risked herself to save me from Lucinda. The woman who was nursing me back to health in this cave.The scent of bread cookies still loomed in the air.For a brief moment, I felt Slade. But it was only a flicker. He must have smelled the cookies. Where was he? Why couldn’t I reach him?The image of Slade, broken and bloody on the floor of the canyon crossed my mind. I could see him, in a crumpled mess. The force of the fall had caused one of his eyes to pop right out of its sockets. Would it heal? Or would Slade forever only have one eye now.“Did it work?” the woman asked, her eyes hopeful. I looked deep into her eyes. She did look a lot like Eden. So much so, that I’d almost mistaken her for Eden at the bottom of the canyon. But then the woman had
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 255: Visions
Zane’s POVHer witch ate her wolf? I blinked, wide-eyed. I’d never heard of such a thing. There were babies born with both wolf and witch in them, yes. That’s exactly what Lucinda was banking on. It’s why she forced me to impregnate her. But I didn’t realize that the witch in someone could eat their wolf.It sounded pretty horrific.“I was raised as a werewolf,” Callie explained. “Both my mother and my father were werewolves. Miles and Diane. I was an ordinary wolf pup. Just like all the other kids. We all played together. My parents loved me fiercely. My father took over the alpha role. Everything was normal. Well, except for one thing.”I listened intently. I wondered how much of this Eden knew. Not much, I surmised.“I had visions,” she said. “Sometimes they came to me in my sleep. Sometimes I’d just have them right in the middle of the day. Some were disturbing. Some were simple. And others? Well, they were just strange. At first, I didn’t tell anyone. I knew it wasn’t normal. I k
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 256: The Witch Rises
Zane’s POV“What happened?” I asked. “I mean, you said that your witch ate your wolf. How?”She chuckled softly. The lantern cast a soft glow across her face. “Not literally. I mean, at least I don’t think it did. I turned eighteen and my wolf awakened. She was a lovely wolf. With light brown fur tinged with white. She was a bit shy and apprehensive. But I loved her.”She paused and took a bite of the cookie. “My witch blood was strong, though. The witch in me was rising.” She shook the cookie at me. “There was nothing I could do. I tried to control the witch, to push her down. But I could feel her pulsing through my veins. It was like my insides were in constant turmoil. My wolf managed to suppress her, though. At least for awhile.”“The witch just went away?” I asked.“Sort of? I’m not really sure. I just…I didn’t feel her anymore. I mean, I knew she was still there. But I wasn’t having any more visions. And my wolf seemed perfectly fine. Life went on. I found my mate. Sigmund Stone
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 257：Her Bloodline
Zane’s POVMy blood ran cold.The witch or the wolf?I’d listened intently to Callie’s entire story. But it hadn’t occurred to me until now. Callie had witch blood. It was in her lineage. Which meant….so did Eden.But no. There was no witch in Eden. There couldn’t be. She had a wolf. A white wolf. Pure and strong. I’d never once sensed anything else in her.“You didn’t know,” Callie smiled weakly. “Of course you didn’t know. How could you? Eden never showed any signs of being a witch. Not as a child. Not as an adult. And she’s never had a vision, not to my knowledge. That’s a blood thing, you know. Visions. They can only be passed through specific bloodlines. Sort of like you with your Lycan blood.”Had Eden ever had visions? If she had, she never told me.“Eden doesn’t know any of this,” I told Callie. “She thought…she thought you were killed. Everyone did. You have a very bad reputation. Even Alpha Miles thinks that.”“I know,” she said. “Sigmund lied. As soon as I left, he tarnishe
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 258: Retina Spell
Zane’s POVHer eyes were wild. Her face was inches from my face. She was breathing heavily, inhaling my scent the way I inhale Eden’s.What the actual fuck?“Did you just say…I smell like…”“Werewolf,” she told me.“But Slade’s not here. He’s injured. Retreated.”“Doesn’t mean you don’t smell of him,” she said. She inhaled again. “Hmmm.”I stared at her, unsure of what to do. This was all a little too bizarre for me. I was holed up in a cage with a woman who turned out to be Eden’s mother. But she was a witch. A witch from the same coven as the witch who forced me to impregnate her. And she’d just confessed to eating her own wolf.Now she was sniffing me and sighing, with a euphoric look on her face.She suddenly stopped then.“I’m so sorry,” she gasped, moving away from me. “I just…I lost myself for a minute. Please don’t think that…I would NEVER…”“Try to eat me?” I finished for her. My eyes remained fixed on her.“It’s a craving. Nothing more. It’s been years since I’ve had werewol
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 259: Healing
Zane’s POVI drifted in and out of sleep while Callie came and went. She didn’t say much, just dropped off handfuls of assorted herbs and plants. I waited as patiently as I could. I was so eager for her to cast this ‘Retina Spell,’ that I could barely sit still. Callie had said it wouldn’t take long to prepare for it.This felt long. Perhaps witches have a different sense of time.And to add injury to insult, most of the herbs Callie was bringing in smelled absolutely disgusting. Putrid, even. The cave was small, the area enclosed. So the scent was thick.This was on top of my constant pain. I tried to grin and bare it, but sometimes the pain was so bad I found myself inadvertently gritting my teeth. Callie noticed this. She checked my bandages. I was starting to heal, but I was still in a lot of pain. My bones were mending and so were my gashes and wounds. But I was used to having Slade heal me. Is this what ordinary humans have to go through? This type of agony?Healing is so much e
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 260: Retina Spell
Zane’s POVA vision?“But Eden dies in that dream,” I said out loud. I guess it made sense that since I was drinking her blood, I would have some visions, too. I didn’t really know how the whole witch thing worked. That wasn’t what bothered me though.I saw Eden, in the field of wild flowers. The arrow comes from behind and clear through her chest. She falls to her knees and lands, face down in the flowers.If that was a vision….then that will really happen?“Do you actually see her die?” Callie asked.My hands were shaking. “What difference does that make? I see her get shot, Callie. Right through the chest. With an arrow.”“It makes all the difference in the world,” she told me. “It’s a vision. I’m sure of it. Which means we can’t stop it from happening. But you don’t actually see her die, right? Stop panicking. You’re overreacting.”“Overreacting? You just told me that Eden is going to get shot with an arrow. How I am overreacting.”“She doesn’t die, Zane. I’ve already told you. I

Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 410: Eden’s Epilogue and The End
Eden’s POVEighteen today. How the time flies by! It seems like only yesterday I was lying on the bed, crying in agony as wave after wave of labor crashed over me. She was a difficult birth, Jupiter. But I made it through, of course.Who could have known the woman she would grow into?She is standing in front of the full-length mirror, admiring herself in her new gown. She’s glorious. Soft, pink cheeks and glacier blue eyes, just like Zara’s. She is the best of witches and the best of wolves – a unique hybrid that brings out both in this fluid, magical way.“Aunty Brinsle and Aunty Astrid?” she asked, looking at my reflection standing behind her. “Are they ready?”“Yes, love,” I tell her. “They are both waiting.” There’s a gentle knock on the door, and as if on cue, Brinsle and Astrid enter.“Oh Jupes,” Brinsle says, rushing to her side. “Look at you. All grown up.” Tears well in her eyes and she turns away.“I told you, no tears today,” Jupiter scolds Brinsle. But then she smiles sof
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 409: Zane’s Epilogue
Zane’s POVSometimes, I don’t know who I love more, Eden or Jupiter. What a I saying? I love them equally.I was shocked, of course, the night our baby was born. I couldn’t believe it when Eden said the name, Jupiter. It all came together in that moment. Calista told me that visions always come true. Lucinda has the vision of a young girl born with both wolf and witch, a girl that would rule over both.Lucinda assumed it would be her daughter.She was wrong.It was ours.Eden has witch blood and wolf blood. Jupiter was born with both. She is our daughter and she will one day unite the wolves and the witches. For now, though, she’s just a bright-eyed, mischievous little five year old girl.And she is our world.Brinsle counsels Jupiter on the ways of witches. Sometimes, she takes Jupiter to different covens. The covens welcome her, this little daughter of ours. Astrid is in charge of Jupiter’s wolf training. And of course, Astrid is Jupiter’s god-mother. I know she is in good hands wit
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 408: Epilogue 2 – Adrian and Brinsle
Eden’s POVThe wedding was small but lovely. Zane gave Brinsle away and he was so honored to do so. It was a traditional human wedding, and Brinsle was lovely in her white dress. Adrian was handsome in his traditional human tuxedo. They chose a human wedding because they couldn’t have a werewolf one since Brinsle wasn’t a werewolf and they couldn’t have a witch wedding since Adrian wasn’t a witch. So they chose a human wedding instead.After the ceremony, we all mingled and sipped champagne while the children ran around playing tag on the grassy knoll. I was so happy for Adrian as I watched him great his guests, as was Zane. We both had a soft spot for Adrian and Brinsle. They were family as far as we were concerned.But it hadn’t always been easy. It had been a slow love between Brinsle and Adrian. They were both a bit broken and they both had serious trust issues. Brinsle had a magic that was too powerful for her and a history of lashing out. She had some pretty dark secrets in her
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 407: Epilogue 1 – Lucia and Storm
Eden’s POV“Lucia, how many times I have told you – get off the warrior training grounds!”I giggled. Lucia had a basket in her arms. It was lunch for Storm. I was sure of it. Lucia was notorious for this. She’d just scuttle right out onto the field, a basket full of food for Storm, and completely disrupt his warriors.“But it’s lunch time,” she said, cocking her head to the side.Storm was clearly embarrassed as she shook his head. His warriors smiled slyly. They were used to it. Lucia was a doting wife. She brought Storm lunch every day without fail.I was visiting for our monthly dinner date. Once a month, I made the trek out to see Lucia at her pack, the Santonio Pack. It was a bit of a hike, since her pack boundary was up in the hills. We’d chosen the location because of the view. After spending all those years on the island at the estate, Lucia swore she never wanted to see water ever again. So her pack was built up on the mountain on a flat plateau, surrounded only by tree tops
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 406: A Baby is Born
Eden’s POVI cursed Zane. I cursed sex. I cursed every one in that room and the sun and the moon and anything and everything I could think of. I had known pain in my life, really bad physical pain, but nothing had prepared me for the pain that ripped through my insides every time I had a contraction.We were back in my room. The doctor and several maids were by my side, as well as Astrid and Zane. Those were the only two people I wanted in the room with me. I gritted my teeth and did my best to breathe while contraction after contraction ripped through me. Zane wiped my forehead with cold clothes. Astrid held my hand, even though I was pretty sure I’d broken her fingers with my tight grip.I was only vaguely aware of the time, but I knew it was night.“It’s a long labour,” the doctor said. “I’m sorry, but that’s just the way it goes sometimes.”Outside my window, the guests waited with baited breath. It hadn’t taken long for word to spread right after the crowning that the queen was i
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 405: Eden is Crowned Queen
Eden’s POVI knew we invited a lot of people, but I didn’t really know how many until I saw them all sprawled out there in the garden. Thousands of people, for as far as I could see. Little children waved excitedly as I passed. Little girls giggled and whispered to their mothers:“She’s the most beautiful queen I’ve ever seen.”We walked slowly, through the crowds. I took my time, nodding and smiling as I went along. Everyone smiled back.Once or twice, a strange cramp ran through my stomach and I gripped Astrid’s hand. She looked at me, a worried expression on her face.“Eden, tell me the next time you feel a cramp, okay?” she asked.“Sure,” I said.The walk to the stage took a long time. I was so humbled that this many people had come to see my coronation. Some of them had travelled a very long way. I saw the pile of presents Astrid had commented on. Holy crap was right; it was massive!My eyes swelled. Such generosity from my people.“Oh,” I said, suddenly stopping. It was a cramp
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 404: Coronation Day
Eden’s POVThe sun burst through the window and I bolted out of bed. I was so happy I could sing. It was here, it was finally here! Coronation day!The baby kicked, really hard. I pressed my hand on my stomach.“No no no,” I said. “You be a good girl and stay in there just one more day.” Then I went straight to the washroom to shower.Zane and I had stayed in separate rooms last night. The girls had stayed in my room with me: Astrid, Brinsle, Murietta, Lucia, and Chloe. We’d played silly games and talked late into the night. It had been a perfect evening, with the exception of a few major cramps. It was probably just too much food I told myself. We had, after all, stuffed our faces all night long.The women were still fast asleep when I got out of the shower. I jumped onto the bed and said in a sing-song voice:“Get up! It’s coronation day!”They all groaned. Astrid rolled over sleepily, tossing her arm over her head. “Not yet,” she said.Brinsle sat up immediately, as did Chloe. I’d
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 403: We Just Leave
Eden’s POVMy mind reeled. A hundred thoughts ripped through my head. My heart and my stomach hurt.There was a baby?A baby with that…witch?But how? Why? This didn’t make any sense. I looked to Brinsle. If anyone would know, besides Zane, it was her. The look on her face said it all – apologetic.There WAS a baby.“Just listen,” Zane said.“You didn’t tell me?” I asked, embarrassed and angry. “You and…her? She’s carrying your baby?”“Eden, please. Just…come with me. Let’s talk.”But I didn’t want to talk. I wanted to run. I wanted to jump back into the lake and swim away again, like I had all those months ago.Had he been unfaithful to me? With a witch?He rushed towards me then and reached for my hand. But I shrugged him off.“I don’t understand,” I said.“So let me explain,” he told me.“Eden?” It was Brinsle. She was suddenly beside me. I felt like the world was spinning. I felt like I was going to be sick. “Just…just hear him out. Okay. It’s not what you think. I promise.”Her e
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 402: An Unwanted Guest
Eden’s POV“Excuse me?” I asked.The woman stopped in front of us. I was furious. Who the hell did she think she was? This was a private affair! This was an intimate, royal burial for MY mother. What was she talking about?“I’m guessing my invitation got lost in the mail?” the woman asked sardonically. “Zane, Brighton, Alpha so and so, nice to see you all again. Although I wish it were on happier terms.”I let Zane tense beside me. How did she know Brighton? And Zane? And was that my grandfather she was referring to.“What are you doing here?” Zane said, his voice low.“What do you mean?” she asked. “Of course I’m here. You’re burying my sister.”“This is a wolf’s burial. On wolf territory. You’re not welcome here, Lucinda,” Zane hissed.Lucinda?I knew that name. She was the head of the coven, the Falcon Crest Coven. She was the woman who had kept Zane and all the others prisoners. The woman who had personally provided Skylar with the potion for his warriors.What WAS she doing here?
