Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 374: Fight or Flight
Eden’s POV“Shit,” Adrian said under his breath when he realized we were being followed. I knew I was slowing them down. It was hard to run fast with my pregnant belly. I glanced back a few times to see how many there were behind us.It didn’t seem like a lot.Fight or flight. That was the question. If we kept running, could he outrun them and make it to the field? Or would they catch us?In which case, the answer was to fight them.As long as there weren’t too many, I was confident I could take them.But not Adrian and Lucia. I had to get them out of here.I found a collection of large trees all grown together. I motioned for us to duck behind them. I could fight the warriors myself while Adrian and Lucia went ahead to the field.“Shift,” I told them, as we pressed our back up against the trees, hiding as best we could. “The warriors are too close. Let your wolves out and run to the field.”Adrian gave me a pathetic look. Right. His wolf was a damn pup. I almost forgot. Huh.“Lucia,
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 375: The Fourth Warrior
Eden’s POVMy blood froze. Lucia’s scream still hung in the air.No no no.He’d tracked them down, the fourth warrior. And now Lucia was hurt, I was sure of it. How could I have been so stupid? I’d left her alone. Her and Adrian. I thought I was doing the right thing by sending them off to find the field while I stayed back and fought the warriors.But now?She screamed again.I ran.I ran as fast as I could towards her screams. I tore through the forest like a mad woman, ducking under branches and leaping over logs.I paused. Which way? Where was she?“Zara, can you pick up her scent?”A hundred horrible thoughts ran through my mind. I’d made a promise to Murietta. Lucia was my friend.Oh god, what if she was…“HELP!”This time it was Adrian’s voice. He hollered loudly. That meant he’d shifted back. I tore towards the sound.I heard the growling before I saw it.I approached, cautiously. A wolf with auburn fur was circling the trunk of tree. His growl was menacing as he snapped his j
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 376: The Northern Field
Zane’s POVOur spirits were high as we walked through the forest. Astrid was with Eden and they were both safe. There were no words for the relief I felt. Just hearing her voice, even if it was through a mindlink, was the most welcome, most wonderful sound in the world.So Alpha Skylar’s army was large. Far larger than we’d expected from the sounds of it. But Astrid had come up with a good plan. She was right. A lot of the packs had formed an alliance with Skylar ONLY because he promised them things they wanted. As far as Skylar was concerned, he’d soon be Alpha King.But he wasn’t king yet.I was still the king, the Lycan King. And whatever he promised them, I could give them NOW. Land, resources, money, protection. Whatever they wanted it was within my reach to bestow it onto them.They’d take my offer. They’d lay down their weapons. I was sure of it. There would be no more fighting. This war would end TODAY.Then we’d go back to the palace. We’d have a Queen’s Coronation for Eden.
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 377: The Arrow
Zane’s POVI felt like I wasn’t in control of myself. I went through all the motion that I’d seen so many times in the visions I had in the cave. Calista had told me you can’t change a vision. I guess this is what she meant.It was strange because I was there, doing everything I saw in the vision, but I already knew what came next. It was like watching a movie. A movie of myself and Eden.I was acutely aware of everything. The scent of the wild flowers, the feel of the gentle wind blowing across the field. The sun was warm on my skin. Beta Brighton, Alpha Miles, and Brinsle were all behind me as I ran to Eden. I couldn’t stop myself even if I’d wanted to.I had seen all of this before and now, I had to just go through the motions.I was filled with joy when I reached Eden, just like in the vision. I embraced her, then I looked down at her swollen belly.Our baby. That was our baby in there, almost large enough to be born. Relief flooded through me, seeing for my own eyes that the baby
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 378: The Arrow Part 2
Eden’s POVZane?Was it really him?I saw him across the field of wild flowers. I couldn’t believe it. My heart soared. He ran towards me and I felt like time stood still.And then..I was in his arms. Joy washed through me as he held me tightly. Then his eyes dropped down to my stomach. He looked so relieved. Relieved and shocked. The baby had grown a lot since I’d seen him. I was very pregnant now.He dropped to his knees and pressed his cheek up against my belly. I wrapped my hands in his hair. It felt so good, to be here, with him. Finally.But we didn’t have much time.Alpha Skylar’s army was close by. Much closer than we had anticipated. Astrid had sent out a mindlink telling all the warriors to come immediately to the Northern Field. We had to act fast.Lucia’s wolf moaned. Zane was kissing my belly and his lips felt like heaven. But we had to help Lucia.I told him to go and help her. She was badly wounded from the warrior in the woods and I felt sick to my stomach about it. Z
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 379: Consider It Done
Zane’s POVThere are no words to express the amount of hate I felt for that bitch.Scarlett.She’d caused me and Eden more grief than I could count. Kidnapping. Torturing. Ridiculing.I Fucking. Hated. Her.Her bow and arrow were aimed at Eden. Yeah right. What did she think? That we were just going to stand here and LET her shoot Eden?I stood up. Astrid and Storm did the same.“Oh look, it’s Eden’s little fan club. How sweet!” Scarlett lowered her bow. “Isn’t that sweet. Don’t you think that’s sweet, Alpha King Skylar?” She enunciated the last few words.“He’s no such thing,” Zane said.“Not technically. Not yet I suppose. But soon enough,” Scarlett scoffed. She fixed her eyes on Astrid. “So nice to see you again,” she said sarcastically. “Still enjoying your hooks?”Astrid clenched her fists. Scarlett was the one who had forced the doctor to put in Astrid’s hooks. She’d also tortured her. Astrid’s hatred for this woman was almost as strong as mine.Almost.Suddenly, the whimper of
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 380: Scarlett Falls
Zane’s POV“Brinsle! What the fuck have you done?”Brinsle released her bolt of light before anyone could stop her. Scarlett was hit and then thrown backwards through the air. Thud. She landed against a tree.All eyes turned from Scarlett to Brinsle. Brinsle’s hand was still up, but she dropped it and nonchalantly rubbed it off on her thigh, as though she was wiping off some sort of goo.“That one hurt a bit,” she said lightly. “Probably because I’m out of my own boundary.” Then she giggled, like a little girl.GIGGLED!Like a fucking little girl.For the love of the moon goddess – this young woman was a monster. Eden stood, wide-eyed, staring at Brinsle. I’d seen Brinsle’s magic before, so it wasn’t as shocking to me. But Eden hadn’t. Either had Astrid or Alpha Miles, or Adrian.“What just happened?” Storm called from across the field. He was still with the large, black wolf. Lucia? I think that was her name?“I killed someone,” Brinsle said off-handedly.“Zane?” Eden asked. “Did she
Awakening the Rejected Queen Chapter 381: The Refugees
Zane’s POVThe moment Skylar issued his command, the Gammas raised their hands. They were signaling to their warriors.“Astrid?” I asked out loud. As my Gamma, I would take her lead on this.“Eden, go get Storm and Lucia. Take Adrian, Brinsle and your grandfather, get out of here! Go back to the palace and gather the refugees. Run, Eden. Find somewhere safe,” Astrid fired off instructions to Eden in a calm, collected voice.But Eden’s voice was firm. “I’m not going anywhere,” she said.“It’s too dangerous,” I told her. “Please.”“I’m staying with you,” she said, her face resolute.The Gammas were growling now. Any moment, they would shift, and their wolves would come charging at us. We didn’t stand a chance. Not against an army of thousands.“We should all go,” Beta Brighton said. “We might be able to outrun them.”But then what? We just succeed to Alpha Skylar? He crowns himself Alpha King and we live the rest of our lives in hiding? Or we run far away and try to find another pack? O
