Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 13 - Who Are You?
Eric POV I leaned my forehead against the door. I could hear her heartbeat racing. Racing in fear. Fear of what? Surely not me? “Julia, sweetheart, please let me in,” I pleaded with her trying to push my Alpha command on her. I knew it would not work. Mates cannot command one another, but I did not know how it would work with a human mate. “Go away,” Julia replied shocking me. “Why?” I asked needing to understand what had happened since I had last seen her. “I will call the police, if you do not leave,” she said with fear lacing her voice. Sighing I can tell she is getting more agitated. “Just tell me what happened, and then I will leave,” I replied to her hoping she would see sense. I hear her slide down the door that is separating us. I do the same feeling this was better than nothing. I wanted nothing more than to hold her in my arms and assure all would be fine. But I needed to go at her pace. She was not a part

Julia POV The warmth I felt being in Eric’s arms was comforting. Like he was right, and this was somehow meant to be. I did not believe in fairy tales, and I knew this would likely be fleeting, but for one moment I allowed myself to be present and comforted in a way I had not been comforted since losing my mom. I heard footsteps and looked up to see Cami walking up the hallway. “So, we have decided he is the good guy?” she asked with a smirk. I smiled at her before looking up at Eric. He was tall, and I could imagine how him kissing me would mean him bending down to reach me. My face went red at the thought. I was getting ahead of myself most certainly, but I could not help my thoughts. Being this close, it was natural to want more. I stepped out of Eric’s arms reluctantly. He looked to Cami with a smile, “It is good to see you again, Cami,” he said politely. “Back at you, big guy. So do we know who this

Julia POV It had been two days since I had seen Eric. We had texted and continued to get to know one another but my schedule and his schedule were not jiving. He told me about his art and promised he would show it to me one day soon. I had limited experience with art but could not wait for him to teach me about it. The fact was that I could not wait to see him again. I was quickly growing bitter that our schedules were not working. And then I had to give my head a shake. I was relieved I could pay my bills and that had to be my focus right now. The reason I was doing this made me sad for a moment, and then I realized I was at work and had meals to deliver. As we were approaching closing time, I heard the doorbell ring and felt my heart sink. We had a strict policy that we served all customers, no matter how late they arrived. As long as the customers were in the restaurant before closing time, they were served. Taking a

Eric POV I grabbed Julia before she touched Cami. “She is still alive,” one of my men yelled. Grabbing my phone, I immediately called 911 while holding Julia in my arms. She was fighting me, but I held tightly not wanting her to touch any evidence that may be on Cami. It broke my heart to hold Julia in my arms, feeling her fall apart. Suddenly there was a growl behind me. Jackson had entered the room, “Mate,” he stated as everyone turned to look at him. Julia was not paying attention to what Jackson had said but we all knew what it meant. One of my men was touching Cami, holding pressure to one of her wounds. Jackson was struggling with his wolf, to let the man continue to help her. It looked like someone, a wolf, had tried to claw her heart out. She had wounds all over her body indicating she had fought as best she could. We all knew she was lucky to have survived at all having fought a male wolf. And a human at that. J

Eric POV I wanted to hold Julia in my arms, but her body was tense. I could tell she was uncertain what to believe or who to trust. My heart hurt, but I could appreciate why she felt the way she did. It was an uncanny coincidence that I seemed to be near when things happened. I know it makes me selfish, but I was immensely grateful to the Moon Goddess that Julia had been with me. Seeing Cami, I was still in shock that she had managed to survive to this point. It was unheard of and caused me to pause and wonder about Cami. I knew I had never scented anything on her. But to be able to withstand the abuse she took was simply incredible. I give myself a shake, as I turn to look to Julia. I take her cold hand into mine. She does not hold my hand, nor does she reject my touch. I begin to wonder if she even recognizes my closeness. She seems lost in her own thoughts. I knew she felt guilty for Cami being hurt in her place. I

Eric POV I understood Cami’s parents were distraught about the news that their daughter had been attacked. I could not understand how they were treating Julia. It was not her fault that a rogue wolf had taken an interest in her. And it was not her fault that Cami had been hurt, obviously by mistake. I took Julia to another private area in the hospital. Jackson knew where we were, and he agreed to have us notified immediately on Cami’s condition as soon as she was out of surgery. Julia was incredibly quiet. I knew she was barely holding herself together. I hoped she would lean on me, but I also knew she was angry and confused. As we entered the private room, Julia moved to take a seat away from me. I took her hand and pulled her into my arms, simply holding her stiff body. I started to feel her relax, and I breathed a sigh of relief. The tension was leaving her body, allowing her to start to feel her emotions.

Eric POV “Yes,” I responded, firmly. She looked at me in surprise. “I am not staying that far away from Cami. I need to be close to her,” Julia responded quickly. Feeling a moment of success, I quickly agreed to what she was saying. “I have a place here in town. We will go there,” I said calmly, not wanting to make a big deal of her agreeing to go with me. “I am taking Julia to the apartment. How are you?” I asked Jackson through our mind-link. “I am alright. It is killing me to watch my mate fight for her life,” he replied angrily. “She is fighting. That is the most important thing,” I reminded him. “You are correct. I do not want to lose her after finally finding her,” he replied honestly. I paused for a moment before responding, “You will not lose her. We will not allow it.”. Closing our link, knowing he was looked after, I turned to look at Julia. I held my hand out to her, “Let’s go now,” I said to her. She slo
Last Updated : 2024-07-13Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 20 - Questions
Julia POV I knew that I had asked a difficult question. It had bothered me for a while, and I had wanted to question Eric on this, but there was never a good time to discuss what it all meant. When Jackson had called Cami his mate, I had to know more. I had to understand what it meant, and why did it seem so important to them? Eric unwrapped his arms from my body, leaving me cold. He stood up and started to pace. I felt nauseous, and instantly regretted asking him the question. I suddenly realized that I did not want the answer. “Forget I asked,” I murmured wanting Eric to come back to bed and hold me like he had been. He turned to look at me, “I have so much I need to tell you. Some of it needs to wait, but I promise you that you being my mate is the best thing that has ever happened to me,” he vowed to me. His words warmed my heart, but I felt an uncomfortable sense of trepidation. Like he was stalling in telling me som

Julia POV “Julia, I am sorry,” Laura started to say. I held up my hand, “What are you sorry for? Just say it,” I said, as Eric stood beside me. “Yes, do not delay on our account,” the middle woman stated. Laura growled at her, and I stood in shock. She growled. How was that possible? “What are you?” I asked her, as she looked back at me. “It is difficult to explain,” she said when I cut her off, “Well try,” I said angrily. “I am a hybrid wolf, but my wolf is dormant,” Laura stated. “You just growled, how is it dormant?” I demanded, feeling a sense of betrayal, I did not know was possible. “I was born with the gene of a wolf, but my wolf is too weak to shift, so we never have,” she shared. I simply stared at her trying to process her words. “So, you knew you were a wolf, and that Lincoln was a wolf, but you never thought to mention it to me?” I yelled. “Oh, this is getting good,” the tall witch said. “S

Julia POV “What?” I questioned as I slowly turned my face to look at the woman claiming to be Martha. “She is crazy,” the woman stated but Laura continued to hold onto my arm tightly. “She was the one who just told me to get Lincoln released,” Laura claimed. I removed Laura’s hand from my arm, moving to stand in front of her. Jackson had already moved in front of Cami and Beatrix, while Eric tried to move in front of me. I saw Cami put Beatrix in her bassinet, and then turn to move beside Jackson. He tensed in anger, but did not take his eyes off the woman standing in front of him. “I am Henrietta’s twin. Of course, I look like her,” Martha stated, sounding more bored than anything. “You never said you were twins,” I murmured as I noticed Cami’s fingers moving from the corner of my eye. I said nothing but continued to watch Martha. “It did not matter. I want her captured as much as you do,” she replied, looking at her nai
Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 101
Julia POV We left Cami and Jackson shortly after Martha went to her room. There was much to be done, and I wanted to check on Laura. We entered our place, when I heard a scream come from Laura’s room. We raced in, just in time to see something disappear in front of Laura. “What was it?” I demanded as I went to her, trying to get her to focus on me. I could see the fear in her eyes. “It was her,” she whispered. “Who?” I asked, getting her attention on me. “That witch. She was here and she threatened me. She promised she would kill me, if I did not help her get Lincoln free,” Laura said in a whisper. I looked to Eric, who nodded and turned away from us. He quickly turned back, “He is secure,” he stated, confirming that Lincoln was still in the dungeons. I nodded, looking back to Laura, “He is not free,” I assured her. “She is going to keep coming to me, until I give her what she wants,” Laura said, fidgeting with her hand
Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 100 - On Guard
Eric POV We shared everything Lincoln had shared with us, before we put the baby down to sleep in the bassinet and continued to strategize how we were going to counter the attack from Henrietta. “I need to call in some backup,” Cami murmured as she continued to watch the baby. “Do you think they can help counter Henrietta?” Julia asked. Cami looked to her, “This is the most powerful witch, next to Henrietta. If anyone can fight her, and win, it will be this witch,” Cami replied. Nodding to her, “Then call her,” I suggested. Cami stood and made the call. Within minutes of her standing, there was this loud sound that seemed like a freight train was landing in the living room. Jackson immediately swiped the baby up in his arms, as Cami stood back, as if she knew what was happening. I pulled Julia closer to me as we all simply waited. Suddenly there was this flash of smoke, and as the smoke cleared a tall woman,
Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 99 - Ours
Julia POV After leaving Lincoln and his haunting words, we went back to see Laura. I was surprised to see her sitting up in her bed, sipping on a glass of water. She had looked afraid, until she saw me and relief lit up her face. I moved closer, holding out a hand towards Laura. She put her hand in mine, and I felt a moment of peace. Like this was the mother I had remembered. She had tears in her eyes, “I know who I am,” she said, as if she had come out of a trance. I smiled, as tears shone in my eyes as well, “I am glad; I am really glad,” I responded before moving towards Laura and hugging her for the first time since she came back. Laura held on tightly, and we just held each other as tears streamed down our faces. “I am sorry I was not stronger,” she offered, but I stood up wiping her tears away, “You have nothing to be sorry for. Lincoln is evil, and he took advantage of you,” I assured her. “I should have known better
Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 98 - Creepy
Eric POV I watched as Julia showed the warriors various techniques to counter her attacks. They were very cautious with her, which I appreciated. It did not stop me from worrying. I saw her rub her back a few times and asked if she needed a break, but she scowled over at me, rendering me silent.Carter was taking notes and developing plans for the warriors to fight one another in their training. I knew it was helping, I just hated that this was Julia’s destiny. I was incredibly proud, but I wanted her to be safe. Inside the palace with our pups. But I knew she would be on the front line, and I would be beside her when the fight did come. And it would come; it was just a matter of when. Julia provided her last words of training for the day and moved towards me. She was tired, I could easily see it in her face, but she would not give an inch. I wanted to carry her home, and put her in the shower, but she would pretty much destroy me if I even

Julia POV I watched Cami come forward, with the baby wrapped up in a soft blanket. Cami had her cuddled close to her chest. I wanted to move forward to hug her, but Jackson was there first. He wrapped his arms around Cami and the baby girl. He kissed her forehead, before looking at the baby. “She is beautiful,” he commented, as Cami nodded in agreement. “She is special. I can already feel her power,” Cami murmured. We all knew what that meant. Another child that would require our devoted attention to protect her. “Have you thought about a name?” Elizabeth asked. Cami looked to Jackson, “I had thought about Beatrix; it means she is blessed and brings happiness,” she replied, waiting for Jackson’s opinion. He paused for a moment before looking to the baby. “I think Beatrix is a perfect name for this little angel,” he replied as Cami moved closer into his arms. I felt tears fill my eyes at the beautiful nam
Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 96 - Loss
Cami POV “One more push, Louise. One more, and your baby will be born,” the doctor said, gently encouraging Louise through another contraction. Louise slumped back, “I can’t,” she said, as tears rolled down her face. I held tightly to her hand, “You can do this, Louise. You are strong,” I said, encouraging her. I could see the pain of the contraction starting once again, Louise sat up and pushed one final time. Within seconds, the doctor cheered, “Good job, mom. Your baby girl is born,” the doctor said, as I wiped the tears streaming down my face. I knew she was talking to Louise, but I could not help the instant love I felt for this baby girl. The doctor lifted the baby for us both to see. Louise held her hands out, wanting the baby in her arms. The doctor started to move forward when Louise slumped backwards. The doctor passed the baby girl to me, as she tried to revive Louise. “What is happening?” the doctor shouted, a
Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 95 - Babies
Julia POV We left quickly after that outburst. We needed to consider what we had found out. First and foremost, we needed to get to Cami to discuss what this all meant. Eric had mind-linked Jackson to meet us at the palace. It was time to bring Elizabeth and Carter into the mix to ensure they were updated on what was happening. As we sat down with everyone, Eric brought them up to speed on what had been happening and most importantly the latest information from Lincoln. “What would the benefit be to the witch?” Elizabeth asked Cami. She shook her head, “Nothing; do you think Henrietta is stringing Lincoln along so she can acquire all the babies?” Cami asked. “For what purpose?” I asked, freeling frustrated. We seemed to be taking a step forward and then another backwards. “I do not know. I will put a call into the Council to determine what the linkage is,” she responded, moving away from us. “We need something, anything, t
