Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 267: Cross Over
Zane’s POVI lunged, my heart hammering in my chest.Who was this asshole? What had he done to MY Eden? What was he DOING to her now?She looked terrified. Her hands were cuffed, actually hand-cuffed! He was naked, his member jutting out in front of him like an evil worm.He was going to …. He was going to rape her!I lunged right at him. But I went right through him, like a ghost. Which is what I guess I was, sort of. I was a spirit.I whirled around, standing on the other side of him. I growled.“Help me,” I said to Callie. “We have to stop him.”Callie looked at me sadly. “We can’t,” she said. “We’re just silent observers, remember?”What?What kind of cruel joke was this? The gate keepers had brought me here to see Eden getting raped? Without the ability to do anything about it?“That’s right, you little bitch. Fight back. It’s way more satisfying when you fight back.”It was the man. I looked at him, hard. He looked vaguely familiar. Who was he? My head whipped around the room.“
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 268: Open Wide
Zane’s POV“Yes, Eden. It’s me!” I said. Her eyes were searching. She knew I was there but she couldn’t see me.“This isn’t happening. It’s…impossible,” Callie said.But impossible or not, it WAS happening.Somehow, I’d crossed over and Eden could feel me.“Zane, I can’t see you,” she whispered.“What the fuck are you saying?” the man roared. “Who are you talking to you?”“I know,” I said, resting my forehead on her cheek. “But if you can hear me, Eden, you have to fight.”Suddenly, the look in her eyes changed. She narrowed them. Then she whipped her head towards the man who was perched on top of her.It was like she suddenly realized what was happening.“Get the hell off me,” she said, her voice firm.“As if,” he said, rolling his eyes. “Come on, you little bitch. You want this as much as I do. Don’t think I haven’t seen you looking at me. I can wait to fuck your wolf. People have paid a lot of money to see that. But it doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun first.”Wait. What?Fuc
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 269: Back to the Nether Region
Zane’s POVBlood squirted all over Eden’s face. Demetris, wild with pain and shock, grabbed his dick. He looked down at Eden, horrified.“You bitch! What have you done?”But Eden only smiled smugly as she spat out the tip of his dick.She’d bitten down so hard on Demetrius’ dick, that she’d actually bitten the top right off.“Better get that to a doctor,” Eden said sarcastically. “If you wait too long, he won’t be able to sew it back on.”Demetrius was furious. He scrambled to pick up the tip of his dick. He tried to stop the bleeding with his other hand. He got off of her then and started running towards the door.“Oh and by the way,” Eden said, still lying handcuffed on the bed. “You’re wrong. Your dick tastes nothing like a lollipop. It tastes like a pile trash, you assshole.”Eden laughed then, while he ran out of the room.Her face was smeared with blood. Her wrists were red and raw. Her hair was a wild mess. And her belly protruded out in front of her.She’d never been more beau
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 270: Spirit Callie
Zane’s POVI called out Callie’s name but I was sure she couldn’t hear me. What the hell had just happened? Had these….these spirits swallowed her? I squinted, trying to find her purple light. But all I saw was darkness and those awful yellow eyes. This was my fault, I realized with a heavy heart. Callie had risked a lot for me to come to the nether world. She’d been warned not to take me. But she’d been so sure that Slade wouldn’t wake up. For a second, I wondered why wolves weren’t welcome in the nether region. Clearly, something had happened in the past. Could wolves harm these spirits? It seemed unlikely. They looked like they were ethereal. I didn’t wonder for long though. Callie was gone. I’d seen Eden, yes. I’d been able to reach out to her. I now knew that she was okay. But seeing Eden had come at a great cost. It had cost me Eden’s mother. Unless…Was there a way to get Callie back? Could I bargain with these spirits? Could I use blunt force?“Where is she?” I demanded
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 271 Healing
Zane’s POVI shifted back, grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around my waist. Then I bent over Callie. Parts of her body were still black, as though they’d been charred by fire. I didn’t know what to do. I scurried over to the cauldron, where Callie kept a bunch of herbs. I lifted them, smelling them. But it was futile. I was no witch. I had no idea what these herbs were for. I went back to her and held her hand. Her eyes were closed. “Callie?” I whispered. She was breathing. I could see her chest rise and fall. But her breath sounded raspy. Was she dying? I didn’t know. I felt so utterly useless. An idea hit me then. My saliva. I’d once healed Eden with it. It had healing properties. Maybe it would work for Callie. It was worth a try at least. Right?I picked up her arm. Her forearm was black all the way to her fingers. I lifted her hand to my mouth and gently started to lick. Bleh. Her skin tasted gross. This must have been what the essence of the spirit tasted like to Sla
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 272: Werewolf Flesh
Zane’s POVCallie crawled towards Slade, a crazed look in her eyes. Witches love werewolf meat, I remembered, with horror. Both Lucinda and Callie had told me that themselves. Callie had even confessed to being intoxicated by Slade’s scent when he was sleeping, deep inside me. But now Slade was here, right in front of her. If his scent when he was hidden drove her crazy, I could only imagine what his scent was doing now. Slade growled and struggled against the blue binding. But the spell was like ropes, wrapped around him. Callie smacked her lips. Could she help it? Was she in her right mind? Sometimes wolves are so overtaken with blood lust that they aren’t themselves. Was that happening to Callie right now? I didn’t know.I had to do something though. Callie was only inches away from Slade now. I tried to shift back. But the blue binding spell wouldn’t let him. Just like he hadn’t been able to shift when Lucinda had him bound deep within me. The spell not only prevented him fro
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 273: Caught
Zane’s POVSympathy. That was the look in Callie’s eyes. She looked at my disabled wolf, her eyes flooded with sympathy. It was a hard pill to swallow, admitting that Slade was disabled. I didn’t even know what that fully meant right now. Would he still be strong? Would he still be able to fight? Or would he have to hide away?And what did that mean for me, the Lycan King? What was I without my wolf? Sure, I’d kept Slade pushed down for most of my life. But that was because he’d been unhinged. A little on the crazy side. I couldn’t let him out because I didn’t know what he’d do. He could have gone on a killing rampage for all I knew. But at least he was still strong. I mean, I had known that, IF I needed him, I could let him out and he’d obliterate any one in his path. Now though? It didn’t seem fair. I’d only just subdued him. Well, Eden and Zara had. Slade still had a temper, sure. And he was still a little unhinged. But I could control him a lot better now. I could let him out
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 274: Zane’s Presence
Eden’s POVI am back at Silvermist, walking through the rose garden. The sun is shining. Spring is thick in the air. Zane is walking beside me, my hand clasped in his. The birds are so noisy. We can barely talk over them. It is making us laugh. Yes. That’s where I am. With Zane. Happy. Safe. Back at Silvermist Pack. Laughing at birds in the spring. I am NOT on an island, handcuffed to a bed. There is NOT a man hovering over me, naked, moments away from raping me. You see, I had to detach myself from the situation. I couldn’t bear to be present for it. It didn’t seem fair. I’d fought through so much. Men in the forest who tried to kill me. Whorehouses and their owners. A warrior on a battlefield. An alpha in a bedroom to protect Zane. I was strong. I had overcome my fears and insecurities. I was no longer the weak, helpless girl that I’d been when Caleb threw me out of the pack. Except that, in that moment, I was. Demetrius had my hands cuffed. Zara was asleep. I would have fou

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?
