Rejected Chapter 15 - Waking Up
Elizabeth POV I awaken lying on my stomach. I tense as I try to take in my surroundings. I do not move as I do not want to draw attention to myself. My body hurts but not as bad as usual. I try to recall everything that happened. I cringe as I realize I had been punished once again. But the wounds are not as severe. As I try to remember what happened, I realize I am not on my makeshift bed at the Pack house. The bed I am lying on is soft and warm. Carter. What happened to Carter? I remember his wolf coming in to attack Alpha Matt. Was he alright? Did he get punished for attacking another Alpha? I could feel my body tense as someone put their hand on my shoulder. I immediately felt sparks coursing through my body and realized it was my mate. He was here. Wherever I was, we were together. I slowly lift my head and turn to look in the direction of where Carter is standing. I look at him through the mess of hair that is covering my face
Rejected Chapter 16 - Getting Closer
Elizabeth POVMy eyes go as wide as saucers, “Hell no,” I mutter as I look away from him. He has removed his jeans standing in front of me in his black boxers. “Hell yes, mate,” he says as he steps forward. “I am not going to leave you alone. I promise it will just be to help you shower, nothing more,” he says as he pulls me into his arms.I am shaking at the thoughts. The sparks bouncing between us are working in calming me. “I am not ready,” I whisper to Carter. “Not ready to have a shower?” he teases. I look at him with tears in my eyes, “Not ready for anything else,” I admit.“I am not asking for anything, Elizabeth. Simply to help you wash your hair and get safely back in bed. I have ordered some food, which will be here by the time we finish in the shower,” he says softly as he reaches around to untie the shirt I am wearing.I step back, “I do not want you to see my body,” I say to him frantic to get away from him. He puts his hands on my shoulders waiting for me to lo
Rejected Chapter 17 - Tour of the Packhouse
Alpha Carter POV My mate moving willingly into my arms catches me off guard. I take advantage of the moment holding her. I need to feel her close to me, it calms both Max, my wolf, and me. We were still devastated she had been hurt under our watch. It made us more committed to protecting her than we had naturally been. I had not advised the Elders that I had found my mate yet. I knew they would push for me to make an announcement sooner than later. I knew Elizabeth would not be ready for any announcements nor taking over as Luna anytime soon. She would need time to adjust to her new environment. Adjust to being in a place she could feel safe and loved. I paused at that … love. It was true, I was falling crazy in love with my mate. I did not know how or what she would feel, but I knew for me I was all in. It made me crazy knowing I had been uncertain of wanting a mate to knowing how strongly I felt about my mate now that she was here.
Rejected Chapter 18 - Intentions
Elizabeth POV I do not know who this woman is, but she is demanding answers of me, and I do not know what she is asking. I wait for Carter to explain. He takes my arm, “I suggest we take this conversation to a more private area,” he says tersely as he guides me towards his office. I walk in and I can smell his scent everywhere. It calms me even more than simply being in his presence. He moves to help me sit in a chair in front of his desk and then pulls the other chair closer to me sitting beside me holding my hand. As everyone takes spots around the room, I see the woman looking at me waiting for answers. I am confused with her anger. Was she angry at me? I do not even know who she is. “Who are you?” I ask surprising everyone. I could not stand her stare any longer.Carter draws my attention, “This is the female Pack doctor we brought with us, Tamara,” he shares with me. I look at him and then back at her. I have a bad feeling about her, but Tamara shifts gear
Rejected Chapter 19 - The Lake
Elizabeth POV I could not believe how big this Pack was compared to my old Pack. The people I met along the way were curious, but respectful. Kinsley was learning her way as well. Many knew she was the Beta Female. I appreciated her not introducing me as the Luna. I was not ready for that. I had so much to work through … would I ever be ready? Kinsley took me to a beautiful garden out a side set of doors. It had been well cared for and had a sitting bench in the middle. From this vantage point the person sitting at the bench could take in all the garden had to offer. It had a calming presence to it. I had no idea why, but I could see myself sitting here and enjoying this space often. “Elizabeth,” Tamara says drawing out of my private thoughts. I look to her waiting for her to speak, “I am wondering if you need any advice on when to get personal with the Alpha,” she says to my shock. I take a swift intake of breath as Kinsley looks at her
Rejected Chapter 20 - What happened?
Alpha Carter POV As we sit and go over the situation with the rogues, my mind wanders to Elizabeth. I wonder how she is making out with Kinsley. I had not heard from them, so I figured things were going well. I was grateful Kinsley was here. She would help Elizabeth adjust. Hopefully sooner than later. I had a message from one of my Elder’s demanding my attention to the serious matter of choosing a mate. I had not advised them that I had found my mate yet, but I would have to do so soon, to calm them from demanding I select a chosen mate. I turn my attention back to Stan and realize he has asked me a question. “I am sorry, what?” I ask him as he smiles at me. “Thinking about your mate?” he teases me. Shaking my head, “How can I not think about her? She is perfect and I want to be the best I can be for her,” I reply. “You are the best thing for her. I can see how she is already starting to come out of her shell,” he tells me to
Rejected Chapter 21 - Chances
Kinsley POV “Alpha, I am sorry. I heard Elizabeth say she could not swim, but then she was in the water. I did not see her fall in,” I admit. I knew it was my responsibility to protect my Luna, but it was proving difficult. Looking to Tamara, “You were closer than I was. What happened?” I ask her pointedly. Tamara looks at me and I see a spark of anger in her eyes, before she turns to the Alpha, “I did not hear her say she could not swim Alpha. She stepped backwards and fell in. I rescued her as quickly as I could,” she says with a tear in her eye. “She is lying!” I say belligerently. “Excuse me?” Tamara replies coldly. “You could not see, remember?” she says to me coldly. “I jumped into the water and rescued the Luna as you stood there doing nothing,” I say to everyone in the room. Stan moves closer to me, as Tamara looks at me sadly. “I realize you were supposed to protect the Luna, but taking credit for my efforts seems a little beneath you, don’
Rejected Chapter 22 - Nightmares
Elizabeth POV We finally made it back to our room. I had gotten ready for bed quickly, after taking a shower. I blew dried my hair once I figured out how to use the dryer. I am not sure how to style my hair but at least I did not have to go to bed with wet hair as I did most nights. I walk out and see the lights are turned down. I see Carter is sitting on the bed waiting for me. He stands and walks over to me, “Here, I need you to take an antibiotic before we go to bed,” he says handing me a glass of water with the pill. I take it and quickly swallow the pill looking at him. He is wearing basketball shorts without a shirt. I can feel my heart beating faster looking at my tempting mate. Carter smiles down at me, “Like what you see mate?” he teases as my face goes beet red. I look at him, “Mmmm,” I say surprising him as I look up at him boldy. His eyes glaze over, and I can see his wolf trying to come to the front. Carter keeps h

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
