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 Chapter 41 - Complication
Alpha Carter POV I tap on the door, feeling a little nervous myself. I had been on plenty of dates, but I wanted this to be special for Elizabeth. I knew it was her first date, the first of many. Kinsley opens the door wide smiling like she had a big secret. I look at her grinning knowing I was going to be pleased with the outcome of her planning. “As much as I want to see your reaction, I will leave you both to it. You can thank me tomorrow,” she says as she walks past me. I stand there taking a deep breath before I walk into out suite. Elizabeth is standing there and my breathe is stolen from me. She is always beautiful to me. But she looks perfect in the sexy dress, heels and her hair done up. “What do you think?” she asks quietly. “I think you are always amazing, sweetheart. This is icing on the cake,” I reply as I move closer to her taking her in my arms. “If we did not have a reservation, I would suggest we simply stay in,” I say to
Rejected Chapter 42 - You Will Pay!
Alpha Carter POV My heart sinks as I hear my chosen mate. “Keep your voice down,” I hiss at her not able to look at Elizabeth. I know she will have questions but right now, I need to do damage control as best I can. How did she know Elizabeth had been a slave? Clearly one of the Elder’s had been talking and I suspect it was Timothy. Margie was his cousin’s daughter and he saw great potential at having a family member in the higher ranks of the Crescent Moon Pack. I glance to Elizabeth and see confusion on her face. She looks at me expectantly waiting for an explanation. I shake my head at her, this is not the time. I look to Margie, “perhaps we can continue this conversation tomorrow at my office? I assume you have spoken with Elder Timothy?” I ask sarcastically. She smirks, “Did you think you could keep her history a secret Carter? Really?” she asks as her date – her brother - looks between us. He is grinning at me and looking Elizabeth u
Rejected Chapter 43 - Hard Truths
Elizabeth POV I looked at my hand and could not believe what had happened. Blood was dripping off my claws. “I could not listen to anymore from that bitch,” Ashley, my wolf, says through our mind-link. I am stunned into silence, “You are back?” I ask her cautiously. “I am fighting to come back, Elizabeth. You needed me so I was able to help,” she says as she quiets in my mind. I smile as I look at myself. My wolf is fighting to come back. But that does not change what just happened. I wash my hands of the blood dripping off of them. Just as I am about to walk out of the washroom the door flies open, “What the hell did you do?” Carter exclaims to me. “What?” I ask as my smile falters. “Why did Margie just run out of here with blood streaming down her face?” he demands angrily. I look at him like he has lost his mind and say nothing. He looks at me, “What happened to your face?” he says as if he is finally seeing me. “She hit me, so I cla
Rejected Chaper 44 - Hold On
Alpha Carter POV I did not know how to fix this. “I do not know what to say,” I reply honestly. Elizabeth looks at me with nothing in her eyes. No recognition, no heat, no passion. Nothing. “So, you are saying that you could still reject me and take her as your chosen mate?” she says in shock. “No, I will not,” I say vehemently. “But you aren’t sure, are you?” she asks knowingly. “Because if you do not do as they say, you will lose your Pack,” she adds. I look at my mate with pain in my eyes. How do I admit to such a thing. “It will not come to that,” I promise her as I look at her. I can see in her eyes she does not believe me.She sits back down with a defeated sigh. “So, what else is there to do or talk about?” she asks. “What do you mean?” I reply confused. “Reject me now, before it is too late,” she says as I see tears fill her eyes. I feel emotion choke me as I start to comprehend what she is suggesting.“You are suggesting we just give up now?” I a
Rejected Chapter 45 - I Reject You!
Elizabeth POV I do not know when I fell asleep, but I had spent most of the night planning how I would tackle learning the Luna role. I would get help from Kinsley. She was smart and had been helping me with my fighting. Albeit I had a long way to go, but I would continue getting stronger. She could teach me around our skills training. I looked at the clock beside the bed and jumped out of bed. It was already noon. I had wasted half of the day when I did not have that kind of time. I raced back to our room and slowly opened the door. Carter was nowhere to be seen and his scent was very faint. He had not slept here last night either. Looks like both of us got little rest last night. I quickly changed into my exercise shorts and sports bra throwing on a sweatshirt over the sports bra. I was still very self-conscious of the scars on my back. Most she-wolves did not wear a lot of clothes. I was not there yet. I did not know if I
Rejected Chapter 46 - Stranger
Elizabeth POV Well, this was not well thought out, I consider as I look around. “You can say that again,” Ashley, my wolf adds. “What would you have done?” I demand of her through our mind-link. “I understand why you left, I am disappointed in Carter,” she replies assuring me I had been justified in being upset. “I also know you cannot trust that woman, and perhaps you should have stuck around,” Ashley adds, “But we are here now, and I will not leave you.”. That brings me comfort knowing I was not alone. I look towards the tree line and see a path I can follow. I start to walk in the forest, considering everything that had happened. The ups and downs with Carter in such a short period of time. It hurt me that he did not speak when questioned. I had expected to hear him speak up for me but all I had heard was silence. And that silence was deafening. Giving my head a shake, I realize I need to pay attention to my surroundings. Pa

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
