For those who may have read Chapter 29 already, you do not need to reload - nothing changed in the chapter. Just a system glitch. Chapters 30 and 31 are ready to be uploaded - I should be able to upload tomorrow morning. I do not want the chapters to get messed up. Nor do I want you to pay for a Chapter you already purchased.
Hope you are enjoying the story so far. There are still lots of questions to be answered and bumps in the road, before Elizabeth can find her happily ever after. Hope you are enjoying Rejected so far.

Alpha Carter POV My mate was so responsive to my touch. I knew our bond and the sparks between us contributed to that, but I could feel we were growing as a couple. My mate was growing. As we lay there, catching our breath, “Have you heard from your wolf?” I ask Elizabeth. She looks up at me, “Not yet; I hope she returns soon. I would like to shift again,” she says to me. “Do you remember your first shift?” I ask her. I know she did not have a lot of good people around her; I did not know what she would have experienced. “It was painful, but fast. Before I knew it, I was a wolf,” she says with a faint smile. “Whatever happened, my parents said not to shift again. Ashley was hurt and went to the back of my mind,” she says sadly. “She did try to help me with the pain I endured over the years, but she was also in pain,” she says with a sigh. “The wolfsbane would have hindered her ability to heal you,” I share with her quietly. “Why would an
Elizabeth POV I am so wet; I feel like anything would just slide inside of me easily. As I move over Carter, and start to move down his hard rod, my breath catches. Suddenly there is a sting inside of me and I am afraid to move any further. I look to Carter for guidance, as he is watching where our bodies connect. “You are so beautiful, Elizabeth. Take your time,” he says as he reaches down to play with my clit. His movements are building my desire once again. I move again slightly and feel pulling inside of my core. I can feel tears filling my eyes at the intrusion, but I really want this. “Do you need a bit of help?” Carter asks gently continuing to play with me. I wanted what was just out of reach. I nod and he smiles as he grips my hips. He starts to move slightly, and I gasp at the movement. He then thrusts up inside of me and I scream at the intrusion. “I am sorry baby; I promise it will feel better soon,” he says as he
Alpha Carter POV Waking with my mate in my arms was something I had not known I would appreciate so much. I snuggled into her body, wishing Max and I had been able to mark her last night. It caused me to pause and wonder what it will take to educate Elizabeth on her role as a Luna. The reality was she had not been afforded the opportunity to go to school. I would need to get her a tutor to help catch her up on her education sooner than later. We also had to address whether she was going to see the counsellor I recommended. She is making great progress, but I want to know I have done everything for her. Elizabeth stretches and yawns. Looking down, I see her eyes are still closed, but she has a smile on her face. “Is someone happy this morning, mate?” I ask nuzzling her neck. She giggles, “I am very happy this morning,” she replies as she turns in my arms and puts her leg over mine. Her warm core is resting against my hardening cock. “Maybe we can pick
Alpha Carter POV I stare at Elder Timothy, wishing it would be acceptable to rip his head from his shoulders. Unfortunately, that would be frowned upon. I could feel Elizabeth tense up as she looked at me with confusion. “We can discuss this at our meeting this morning,” I say tersely to Elder Timothy who nods his head watching Elizabeth with growing disapproval. “What did you do at your Pack?” Elder Timothy asks Elizabeth not prepared to leave her alone. Elizabeth freezes putting her fork down. Just when she was starting to get comfortable eating more, he is ruining her appetite. “She was helping in the kitchens,” I reply to save Elizabeth from having to say anything. “Hmmm,” Elder Timothy says before he also continues eating in silence. We all eat, with Elizabeth picking at her scrambled eggs. “Aren’t you hungry, girl?” Elder Simon asks Elizabeth. He startles her and she drops her fork. “You look like you are starving,” he observes as he
Alpha Carter POV I see Stan waiting for me before we head to the conference room. “I wonder what this will be like this morning,” he mutters as we enter the room. I see the four Elders standing in the corner discussing something. I ignore them as I shut the door and invite them to sit at the table with us. As they approach, I can see Elder Timothy is ready to explode. Before I can get a word out, Elder Timothy yells, “A slave!!!”. I sit there in shock. What the hell. How had he found that out? He does not have connections with the Red Woods Pack that I know of. “Calm down,” I say to him as his face goes red with anger. The other Elders are looking at me concerned, waiting for me to disagree with this statement. “While it is true, my mate was a slave when I found her; she was abused, starved, and fed wolfsbane to keep her wolf locked away. I believe she is a strong wolf, and needs time to heal,” I say to them all confidently. “
Elizabeth POV I sit on the swing enjoying the calming movement of the swing. I had never been on a swing before. I can imagine the children must have a lot of fun playing here. I wonder what it will be like if Carter and I have pups. Will I be able to show them all they need to know given that I had not experienced what I should have over the years. Swinging back and forth I do not notice someone come up to me. “Hello, Luna,” Tamara says. I gasp in surprise, as she chuckles, “Sorry for startling you,” she says. I laugh as well, “Sorry, I was lost in my own thoughts,” I reply as she sits on the swing beside me. “How have you been feeling?” she asks me as she pushes her swing and rocks back and forth. “I feel stronger. I am eating more,” I share with her. “I see you mated with Alpha Carter,” she comments startling me. “What?” I ask her confused. “I can smell him on you,” she replies with a smirk. “Oh,” I reply not clear on what
Elizabeth POV I let out a big sigh and Kinsley looked at me sympathetically. “It will get easier, I promise,” she says as she pushes the file she was showing me aside. “I can barely read, Kinsley; how am I going to be able to do this?” I ask as I put my hand over my face. I would not cry. No more tears. Just action. “I will help you,” she says as she starts to summarize what was in front of me. I nodded understanding the problem. We discussed a couple options, and I made a recommendation. Kinsley smiled at me, “That is a great suggestion!” she exclaims as she makes some notes on the file. I smile encouraged by her enthusiasm. “Let’s take a break. We have been at this for a few hours,” she says as she looks at her watch. “It is time for lunch, are you hungry?” she asks me. My stomach growls in response and we both end up laughing and standing up to go towards the dining hall. I was missing Carter and I hoped I would see him there.
Alpha Carter POV I looked down at my mate as a wave of sadness rolled over me. I was proud of her to take the step to try and make the Alpha and Luna accountable for their actions. I had seen time and time again where higher ranking wolves got away with some indecent acts. It will destroy me if this happens to Elizabeth. That she is ready to take this on surprises me. I am not sure she fully understands how difficult this will be, but I will support her in whatever way I can. Much like I am going to support her in becoming a Luna to my Pack. My conversations with the Elders did not go as well as I had anticipated. In fact, I was given an ultimatum. My mate becomes a strong Luna within two weeks, or I accept my chosen mate. It was agreed, I could accept my chosen mate and Elizabeth could become Luna when she was ready, but I knew that was a ridiculous proposition. Who would respect Elizabeth if she took over a year from now. What about the b

Good day Everyone I wanted to share a quick update. I am working on the draft for Eric's story and expect to start it the week of May 6, 2024. I hope you will be as excited as I am to write the story. His will have a couple interesting twists but suffice to say he will find his mate.

Let me know if you are excited to read the story or follow me on my socials to get updates. Ellie xo
Elizabeth’s POV The past six months had been a rush of emotions. Watching CJ grow was unbelievable. He was growing fast already walking. He was ahead of the normal schedule of children, but we have realized our boy was special beyond what we could even fathom at this point. We loved him and would keep him a child as long as we could. Stan and Kinsley had a beautiful little girl. She was two months old. CJ loved little Leslie from the moment he saw her. He always went to see her before anyone else got a chance to say hello to her. He always touched her face softly giving her little kisses. We all joked wouldn’t it be cute if they were mates when they grew up. Eric had not found his mate yet. He had just returned home from a two-month search but with no luck. He was still hopeful, but I could tell he was somewhat disappointed that his search had not yielded him success yet. I kept encouraging him as best I could even to the point of suggest
Elizabeth POV I had been in labour for a while now. I had started pushing an hour ago. I knew I was having a big baby boy, but I do not think anything prepared me for this. Ashley was throwing all her strength into me. I was getting exhausted and angry. Carter was both amazing and annoying at the same time. His words of encouragement were endearing, but I really wanted to punch him in the nuts so he would have a sense of how ridiculous his words really were. The past few months had been a whirlwind. I had survived the two weeks of bed rest. My mother had brought me a lot of things to work on during that time. And I was healthy and given the nod to go back to regular activities with normal precautions. Before I knew it the time had flown by and here, I was birthing my first pup. The rate I was going this could be my last one. “One more push, my Queen,” the doctor says encouragingly. I take a deep breath and push with all my might. With th
Carter POV I gently pick Elizabeth up in my arms. “Elizabeth,” I repeat but she does not respond. There are snarls and cries of pain as I turn to see what is happening. The two sisters are fighting. The warriors are standing by ready to jump in to assist the former Queen. But all respect her need to fight her sister for all that she stole from her. I watch helplessly as I see Elizabeth’s mother toss her sister in the air. As she comes down her mother reaches for her aunt and slams her into the ground. All you could hear was a yelp and the crushing of bones. “How dare you ever think you had a right to destroy my life! How dare you steal a child from her parents! How dare you steal so much from my mate! You deserve so much more but it is time for you to die!” the former Queen yells. Her sister is begging for her life, but the former Queen will hear nothing of it. She moves forward and places her sister’s head in her hands. She starts twist
Elizabeth POV “You!” I scream. I am staring in shock at the person in front of me. “Where did you come from?” I demand as I move to cover Carter’s body. He was defenceless and I would not sit back while someone attacked us. “Surprised to see me?” the person asks. “I am surprised you are still alive,” I say as I move into position in the event they attacked. Moving towards me, “But daughter dearest, I have missed you,” she replies. “You are not my mother,” I spit at her. “My someone is feisty,” she says with a smirk. “Who knew you had it in you?” she asks. “You knew all along,” I say to her. “What kind of sick monster does what you did?” I ask her. “I would like to know that myself,” a voice from behind me says. I turn to see my mother and a group of warriors behind me. I turn around and smirk at the woman in front of me who has managed to get closer to me. “The kind of woman who was sick of her sister getting everything she wanted,” my a
Elizabeth POV The last two weeks had been a blur. We had an amazing feast the night of our coronation, and then we were in the whirlwind of handing over responsibilities for the Kingdom. Carter and I were both sitting in my office on the couch that I had brought in. I had my feet in Carter’s lap as he rubbed them. “Mmmm that feels good,” I murmur as my eyes half close. We had just finished another gruelling day of learning and needed a few minutes to ourselves before we went to supper with those who lived in the Palace. We had started that last week. Carter missed having meals with his Pack, so we started that tradition. Those living within the Palace loved the idea and had embraced being a part of a bigger family. It did not mean everyone joined every night, but it gave people options. The cooking team loved it as well. They got to serve people more than just waiting for a special event. Carter starts to massage up my calve m
Alpha Carter POV “I am back!” I hear in my mind. “Max?” I ask tentatively through our mind-link. “It is me,” he replies excitedly. “I am so grateful to have you back,” I reply. “Me too. Wherever I was it was a very dark and lonely place,” he shares with me. I want to hear exactly what he remembers happening but the Elder in front of me clears his throat. “May we continue Alpha?” he asks. I nod telling Max I want all the details. Knowing we were in the middle of a ceremony and his mate was beside him was enough to settle him. Having completed the transfer of blood, I take Elizabeth’s hand in mine and give it a squeeze. She smiles excitedly, knowing Max was back. The third Elder comes forward. “And now we will do the transfer of the crowns signifying the future,” he says as the King and Queen move forward. Each kneel before the Elder and their crowns are removed for the last time. Both are holding hands as the removal takes place. You c
Alpha Carter POV As Elizabeth and I walked up the aisle, I could not help but become a little nostalgic. Thinking about where we had been to where we are now. Having overcome so many hurdles. So many things that seemed against us being together. But here we were … about to become Queen and King of the Kingdom. I had never aspired to become King. It had never been something I had remotely considered. Having met with the current King this week and learned more about what he did and the opportunities I would have to make a difference in the wolf community excited me. And now I felt like a fool for fighting so hard against it. I could feel Elizabeth’s small hand on my arm as we walked up the aisle following her parents. I could feel the stares and the excitement in the room for the future. For the next generation to take over. What I felt stressed about was my inability to shift tonight. The people present knew of my injury and were advised as
