Rejected Chapter 33 - Questions
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
Rejected Chapter 34 - Slave?
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. “
Rejected Chapter 35 - Chosen Mate
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
Rejected Chapter 36 - Council's Reply
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.
Rejected Chapter 37 - What's Next?
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
Rejected Chapter 38 - Fight or Flight
Elizabeth POV We had started with a five-mile run. I had never realized how much I would enjoy running but it was liberating, and I was good at it. I was able to keep up with Kinsley during our warmup. She was impressed and kept encouraging me along the way. We ended near the training field and walked over to the building that housed a lot of the exercise equipment we would use today. Kinsley started me on weights and eventually we moved to some of the leg machines. I was feeling the burn, after the run when Kinsley suggested we go to the punching bag to start on some punching to warm up for the training part. I was winded and thinking had we not already started the training part when she smiled at me, “You got this,” she says as we walk over to the punching bag. She shows me how to throw a right jab. “Should I not have boxing gloves on?” I ask her cautiously approaching the bag. Shaking her head, no “You will not have boxing gloves on in a r
Rejected Chapter 39 - Hospital
Alpha Carter POV I met Elizabeth and Kinsley at the Pack hospital. Tamara was walking out of Elizabeth’s room as I approached her. “What happened?” I asked. “She is dehydrated and a little dizzy from her exercises today,” she says as she continues to write something on Elizabeth’s chart. “Is she going to be, okay?” I ask her. Stopping what she was doing, she looks at me taking my arm and moving me down the hall. “To be honest Alpha, I think you are pushing her too hard. She is not equipped to handle this much physical exercise,” Tamara says as we stop in a quiet spot in the hall. I look at Tamara shaking my head and muttering, “I have no choice.”. “What?” she says distracting me from my muttering. “What?” I ask her confused and not realizing I had spoken out loud. “You said you have no choice. Why?” she asks me curiously. I hesitate to reply but she is Elizabeth’s doctor and maybe she can help guide me in getting Elizabeth to where I need
Rejected Chapter 40 - Getting Ready
Elizabeth POV I am excited to think about a date. I have never been on a date before, not that that would be surprising to anyone. I had no idea what to expect, which made it more exciting for me to think about. “Okay first we need to get you into the shower,” Kinsley says. I agree. After my training session, I went directly to the hospital a wet mess. “I will check your closet to see what you will wear tonight,” she says as she walks over to my walk-in closet leaving me to jump into the shower. I quickly get in the shower taking time to wash all the grime off me, shampooing and conditioning my hair, shaving, and conditioning my skin. I wanted it to be soft for Carter if we happen to get intimate tonight again. I loved everything about being with Carter. It was exciting to feel so connected. I wanted him again and soon. Stepping out of the shower, I grab one of the towel’s that wraps me in its soft warmth. I wrap it around my b

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
