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

    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

    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

    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

    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   Chapter 47 - Why?

    Alpha Carter POV Getting up from my knees I look around the room. Most Elders are concerned but one is smirking his enjoyment, “Could your mate have just rejected you?” Elder Timothy taunts. I glare at him, intimidating the smirk off his face. “I highly doubt that. Now, I believe we were finished,” I say as I dismiss them all. Margie drags her feet leaving. I mind-link my Gamma to come and remove her from the premises. As he comes in, Margie recognizes him and understands why he is there. “Please Carter, I will be good. You can keep your filthy little whore, just accept me as the Luna,” she begs. I grab her by the throat pushing her against the nearest wall. The rage that takes over my body is barely controllable. I am vibrating with anger, and I see the fear on Margie’s face. I can feel my Gamma trying to reach me but my wolf, Max, has become impossible to control. “You ever speak of my mate like that again and I will rip you

  • Rejected   Chapter 48 - Bad Feeling

    Elizabeth POV As I trudge along the forest with Alpha Kyle, I wonder if I am doing the right thing. I do not know how Pack politics work. Am I safe here? Have I crossed into a territory that may not be friendly. What do they do with people who cross their borders? Am I considered a rogue? Will I end up in the dungeons? If I do, I will never get out. Anxiety starts to roll over me as I consider all the things that could happen. “Calm down, I can smell your waves of anxiety stinking up the air,” Alpha Kyle says. “I do not stink,” I reply angrily. “Can I help it if I do not know what you plan to do with me?” I ask him. “You should have thought about that before you crossed into my territory,” he reminds me. “Well, what are you going to with me?” I ask him. Knowing was better than guessing. “I typically put people who cross my borders in the dungeon for questioning,” he says as he smirks back at me. My heart sinks. I had been in the dungeo

    Elizabeth POV I slowly turn around, anxious to see who is behind me. “Elder Timothy?” I question as I look at the man who had only hours ago expressed concern that I could not become Luna for the Crescent Moon Pack. What was he doing here? “Elizabeth. I am happy to find you in good health,” he says as he takes a step towards me. I take a step backwards towards where Alpha Kyle is standing. “What are you doing here Elder Timothy?” Kyle asks as he moves to stand slightly in front of me. “Alpha Carter sent me to pick up his mate. He could not leave the Pack as something had come up, so he trusted me with this important task,” he says calmly. I look at him confused. He was adamant I was not good enough to be Carter’s mate. Why was he here wanting to help Carter bring me home? “I am not going back to the Pack,” I say to Elder Timothy quietly. “Now Elizabeth, of course you are coming home. Carter is expecting you,” he replies. I

    Alpha Carter POV We raced to the Bliss Moon Pack. I wanted to get my mate back and get things cleared up between us. Her effort to reject me startled me but did not work. I did not accept her rejection, and she would not know that was necessary. My heart is in my throat uncertain what to expect. “That’s odd,” my warrior who is driving murmurs. “What?” I ask on edge. “We just passed three SUVs going in the opposite direction as us,” he says as he looks in his rear-view mirror. “Maybe something came up, that Kyle needed to tend to,” I say distracted by what was ahead of me. We arrived at the territory gates and were advised to wait a minute. I was confused and stepped out of the SUV, with Stan and the two warriors in front jumping out prepared to protect me. I sigh, “What the hell is going on? I am here at the invitation of the Alpha and the Beta,” I say angrily. “They are both on their way here,” he replies to my confusion. Had

  • 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

    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

  • 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

    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
