Rejected Chapter 129 - Destiny
Elizabeth POV I do not know how long I had been laying with Carter. My arms wrapped around him likely looked funny given our size comparisons, but I could not help wanting to be as close to him as possible. He also still had the breathing apparatus in him to keep him alive. I was small enough to fit around everything that was there. I was still feeling some effects of the paralysis, but my organs were healing faster now that the antidote had been delivered. I had heard from Ashley briefly letting me know she was okay. She could not reach Max and it was depressing her, so she retired to the back of my mind. I could still feel a connection with Carter. The doctor had tried to prepare me for the worst, but I refused to hear it. The doctor was trying to be reasonable, but I lost it on him. My parents ushered him out of the room and Stan and Kinsley quickly helped me to Carter’s bed before leaving me with my mate. The sound of the mach
Rejected Chapter 130 - Returning
Alpha Carter POV Frustration is all I feel. I cannot move. I can hear everything around me. I can feel the pain of the paralysis in my body. I can feel Elizabeth’s pain through our mate bond. I am terrified she will give up on me. That she will not realize I am still here. I know I am close. I cannot feel Max yet, but I know he would be fighting as hard as I am to come together so we can get back to our mate. I feel Elizabeth leave me. I miss her comfort but am happy her mother is visiting her. I can barely make out their discussion, but I am relieved Elizabeth is opening up to accepting her mother. She deserves that happiness. That sense of belonging and safety of a parent’s love. I feel groggy but come alert when her mother talks to her about her destiny. She is intended to be the Queen of this Kingdom. Of course. Why had it not occurred to me before this? They will want Elizabeth to stay and assume her role as Queen. But what wou
Rejected Chapter 131 - Trust the Antidote
Alpha Carter POV I try to breathe on my own, but the machines are in the way. I am able to relax when Elizabeth takes my hand and I know the doctors are on their way. I keep my eyes fixed on her eyes as I wait for the machine to be removed from my body. Finally, it is removed and I am able to breathe on my own. Those first few breathes are liberating. Like I am finally back. I see happy tears in Elizabeth’s eyes as I pull her into my arms. The fear I had of never being able to hold her in my arms has eased and I now know we will be okay. She pulls back, “How do you feel?” she asks me. I open my mouth and attempt to speak but nothing comes out. I am confused and Elizabeth quickly rushes to get me a cup of water. She places a straw at my lips. Yes, I am likely parched from the machines. I attempt again to speak but nothing happens. I try mind-linking her but still I am drawing a blank. I open my mouth again to speak as the doctor moves for
Rejected Chapter 132 - Tough Talk
Elizabeth POV I am struggling to remain calm but am worried as heck about Carter. While I was out of the room, the doctor approached me. He advised me it was highly unusual for the paralysis to linger, and he was concerned for the Alpha that he may not get his voice back. The next few hours would be crucial in making that determination. I did not know what that would mean for Carter. He could not run a Pack without a voice. And the inability to communicate by way of mind-link was making it worse. “Does it mean his wolf has been injured?” I ask the doctor. “It is possible. We will only know more as time progresses. Say a prayer to the Moon Goddess that she helps in this case,” he says as he went into the room to administer the drug to Carter. I am brought back to the moment when Carter waves his hand in front of my face. I am startled but then smile when I realize he is holding the note paper up for me to read. “We need to talk,” he says. I
Rejected Chapter 133 - Special Visitor
Elizabeth POV We both fell asleep quickly needing the rest from all that we had endured. I do not know how long we slept before I felt a presence beside me. An unknown male was standing there, and I tensed up uncertain what to expect. I look to Carter but see he is still asleep. I gently nudge him, but he does not wake up. I look back to the male and see he is looking at me as if studying me. “Who are you?” I ask quietly. “Your brother,” he replies. “My brother is in a coma,” I say. “I still am. Our parents told me about you, and I wanted to come see you for myself,” he replies softly. “You are beautiful,” he adds. “I do not understand,” I reply confused how he was standing in front of me. “I am stuck between worlds. Not dead and not entirely alive,” he says to me sounding frustrated. “How is that possible?” I ask him. “I do not know. It is something the uncle did. I believe there was a witch involved when I was injured,” he says.
Rejected Chapter 134 - Left Behind
Elizabeth POV My parents gasp as they see the male’s eyes open. My brother. His eyes stay open for a few moments before they slowly close again. My father runs out to call the doctor, as my mother moves forward to the other side of the bed, holding the male’s hand. “Eric, sweetheart, it is mom. Open your eyes,” she encourages him. Nothing. He remains still with no movement. His eyes do not open again. The doctor comes running in and quickly checks him over. He looks to all of us, “I am sorry; there is no change,” he says. “But his eyes just opened when Elizabeth touched him,” my father tells the doctor. “It must have been an involuntary reaction,” he explains as he notes nothing medical has changed. The doctor leaves us as my parents look on sadly wishing for a miracle. I clear my throat and tell them about the encounter I just had with Eric. “Why did you not tell us sooner?” my mother asks. “I wanted to be certain the male was in fact
Rejected Chapter 135 - Capable
Alpha Carter POV It crushed me leaving Elizabeth behind. Hearing her crying at my decision nearly broke me and my reserve. I knew it was the right thing to do. Leaving her to get to know her family and determine what she wanted for her future would be key to us moving forward. I did not want to stand in her way. I loved her enough to make the toughest decision I have ever had to make for both of us. My hope is after a couple weeks, she will have had a chance to get to know what would be expected of her. To determine if this is the life she would want. And then we would need to talk about how we make it work for both of us. I want to make things work but I just cannot leave my Pack behind. We walk out of the hospital and into the waiting SUV. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Stan asks me before we pull away from the curb. I look to the hospital and see Elizabeth standing in the doorway with her parents on either side of her. “No, but go
Rejected Chapter 136 - Next Step
Elizabeth POV It had been a few days since Carter had left me behind. We spoke the first couple of days until he advised me, as I had suspected, that he needed to stay at the Crescent Moon Pack longer than was expected. Since then, I have refused his calls and have not responded to his texts. He made me a promise and he broke it. My heart hurts being away from him. But now I am angry at everyone for the situation I am in. I hear a light knock on my door. Before I can yell go away, my mother walks in to stand directly in front of me. “Enough is enough, Elizabeth. I am sorry you are hurt, but it is time you got dressed and left this room. Get a shower, get dressed and I will meet you downstairs. There are things your father and I need to discuss with you,” she says sternly. I look at her with disgust on my face, “You can look at me like that all you want. It is time you got yourself together,” she says and turns away from me. “You have an

Rejected Epilogue
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
Rejected Chapter 181 - A King is Born
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
Rejected Chapter 180 - Slow Down
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
Rejected Chapter 179 - Lifeline
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
Rejected Chapter 178 - Names
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
Rejected Chapter 177 Royal Shift
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
Rejected Chapter 176 - I'm Back
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
