Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 39 - Difficulty
Julia POV It had been a couple hours since I had stormed upstairs leaving Eric to fend for himself. I know I am new to this world, but it seemed that sleeping with someone else when you found your mate was fundamentally wrong. What had possessed him that night? What made sense? And the scariest part … did my night of pain have something to do with it all? I needed to talk to Cami. I grabbed my phone, glad I had it in my pocket when I raced upstairs. I had texted her a couple of times, trying to reach her but had not heard anything back. I hoped that meant she was busy and not that she was in danger. There had been so much I learned in the last couple of days, it was overwhelming. But it also felt like I had found my place. For so long, I had not felt like I belonged anywhere aside from with my mom. When I lost her, that feeling of being alone just got worse. Cami had filled some of that void, but Eric was truly the key

Julia POV Within minutes of receiving Cami’s text, Jackson was pacing in the sitting area, trying to track Cami’s phone. “What is taking so long?” Jackson asked as he stopped his pacing to look at Eric. “They are working as fast as they can,” Eric replied, while Jackson cursed. “What have I done?” he mumbled to himself. I felt sorry for him, recognizing that he was truly worried about Cami. Jackson sits putting his head in his hands. Eric moves over putting his hand on his friend’s shoulder, “We will get her back,” Eric promised. “I should not have let her leave,” Jackson mumbled. “I do not think you had a choice,” Eric replied with a chuckle. “If I had not pissed her off, she would not have left like that,” Jackson said. He had my phone and kept reading Cami’s messages. “Have you ever visited Cami’s home?” Eric asked me. I looked to him, “Yes, a few times. It is a nice place, on the opposite side of town as me,” I shared

Julia POV “Can you at least promise you will stay behind with Eric?” Jackson pleaded with me. I looked out the window as we drove through the darkening streets, “Nope,” I replied. I heard Eric’s growl, but I ignored it. I turned to look at them both, “We know I am a strong wolf. You need me out there,” I said to them both. “We do not know what we are dealing with,” Eric said. “Well, we will figure it out when we arrive,” I suggested, feeling his frustration. “They have been able to capture Cami. We do not know what we are dealing with. As a witch, she has powers that we do not have. And she has not been able to use them to save herself,” Jackson said to me angrily. I knew he was not angry with me. He is angry at the situation. “She will be fine,” I mumbled, needing them to agree with me. “She will be fine. We will get her back, and then we will deal with whoever is after you,” Eric agreed. I looked to him, and nodded, “

Julia POV We waited impatiently for word on Cami. Eric was frustrated that his leg prevented him from being a part of the rescue team. I was frustrated because I did not know that he really needed me here. I know Eric and Jackson were concerned for me, but I had a strong need to be there when they found Cami. Perhaps Eric was right, and Jackson was what Cami needed. “Come here, sweetheart,” Eric said, holding his hand out to me. I reached across to him, and he pulled me to his side. He was leaning against the car and pulled me into his arms. I soaked up his warmth and simply enjoyed the moment in his arms. “Jackson will get her back,” Eric promised me. “I feel guilty,” I admitted to Eric. “Why?” he asked me. “I cannot help but feel this is about me,” I replied turning my face into Eric’s throat. “It is not your fault, Julia,” Eric said pushing me back so he could look into my eyes. “Whoever is after you – they are re

Julia POV Jackson was pacing the room, as I sat with Eric holding my hand. He was drawing designs on the back of my hand, and it was calming me to know he was here with me. Jackson had told us what he knew, which was not a lot. But we did know that once Cami was out of surgery, the doctor would come and speak with us. “This is too much,” I said as both men looked to me. “What do you mean?” Eric asked. “Cami has been seriously hurt twice in less than a week. Because of me,” I said. “It is not your fault,” Eric said, with Jackson agreeing. “Whoever these people are, they want you, Julia. It is critical that we all protect you,” Jackson added. “Cami was trained for this. She knows the risks and has not hesitated in protecting you. Do not let her down, by giving up,” Jackson stated. Before I could reply, the door to our private room opened and a doctor stepped inside. He looked at Jackson, before looking at us.

Julia POV The doctors and nurses were frantically working on Cami. I could see Jackson simply standing there watching helplessly as everyone tried to save Cami. “Everyone stop for a minute,” the doctor called out, quieting everyone down. “There seems to have been a shift in the level of poison in the patient,” the doctor murmured. “What do you mean?” Jackson asked, stepping forward. “Something is drawing the poison from her body,” the doctor observed looking at everyone in the room. “It makes no sense,” the doctor continued saying to himself. He looked to the machines connected to Cami. “She is stable for the moment. I suggest we step out and observe what is happening,” the doctor suggested, nodding to the nurses to leave the room. “Something is going on; I am not certain what, but I believe one of you is helping Cami. Let’s see what happens next,” the doctor said as he left us alone. Jackson looked to Er

Julia POV I watched my friend in pain, trying to fight her demons. Suddenly Cami gasped and sat up in the bed, “Stop!” she yelled, with Jackson pulling her into his arms. She was gasping for breath, until she opened her eyes and realized she was in Jackson’s arms. Tears filled her eyes as she looked to him, and then looked over to me. “You are safe,” she whispered, looking at me, as Jackson continued to hold her in his arms. “I am safe,” I replied, stepping forward to touch her arm. She reached her hand out and clasped onto my hand. “They want you, Julia. You are the key,” Cami shared with us. “The key to what?” Eric asked, stepping forward. “He never said. He kept asking me where you were and had you come into your powers yet,” Cami shared with us softly. “I did not tell him anything,” she swore to us. “I know you did not, sweetheart,” Jackson said to her. He drew her attention, and she moved forward resting her head on

Julia POV Feeling shy as Eric started to undress me, I moved my hands towards his chest, running my hands across his bare skin. The tight skin, the muscles, had me wanting to run my tongue over those enticing ridges. Before I could stop myself, I leaned forward and slipped my tongue out to taste him. I caught him off guard and I felt his body flinch when I touched him. I paused, looking up at him thinking I had done something wrong, but he quickly smiled. “Do not stop,” he murmured as his hands wrapped around me to undo my black lace bra. I felt my bra straps slide down my arms and was immediately chilled feeling the cool air on my skin. I was embarrassed as nobody had ever seen me naked before. I had curves and I knew not all men liked curvy women. Before I could think any more about it, Eric had his lips on my neck, cupping my breasts in his hands, “Perfection,” he said as he continued to nibble on my neck.

Julia POV I looked at Laura, concerned with her reaction. Aside from the reality that it was rude, it was also odd that she would be so bothered. She had not given any indication she was this bothered before. In fact, she seemed to understand why Lincoln was being held in the dungeons. “I am sorry Laura, but he poses too big a risk for us to release him,” Elizabeth replied. “Julia and Eric will assume responsibility for him. They will ensure he does not harm anybody,” Laura said. My body tensed at what she was suggesting. Before I could even respond, Eric said, “Absolutely not. There are children to consider, Laura, and I am not prepared to put them at risk given what his intentions have been.”. Laura let out a soft growl, reminding us all that she had a dormant wolf inside of her. “Julia?” she asked, looking to me for some support. I shook my head, “I am sorry Laura, but I agree with Eric,” I stated. She looked at me an

Julia POV I watched my mother frown as she nodded her understanding of needing to wait for Elizabeth to make the decision. I was surprised she had started on this again, even with Henrietta gone. “Can I take the babies for a walk?” Laura asked. I looked at Eric and then to her, “I think it is too soon to be taking them out on walks,” I said to her. I saw the look of anger cross her face, before disappointment took its place. “What is going on, Laura?” I asked, confused with her behaviour. “I want to feel useful. I am doing nothing to help,” she replied. “There will be plenty of time to help with the babies. Right now, they are far to young to be away from me and Eric,” I shared with her. I knew what I was saying was silly. Of course they could be away from me, but Eric and I had discussed how we wanted this time to bond with our babies. “You do not trust me, do you?” Laura asked angrily. I looked at her in surprise, “Tr

Eric POV We had an amazing few days with just us and the babies. They were adjusting to a normal routine so quickly; we could not have been more blessed. “I think Layla is already showing signs of being a Guardian,” Julia said to me. “What?” I asked, surprised and a little concerned. “There is this look in her eye, like she is far more advanced than having just been born a few days ago,” Julia shared. “We will have to do our best to encourage them both to stay young. I do not want them growing up too fast. There is a lot of responsibility that comes with being a Guardian,” I shared. “I agree. I only found out once I was grown, I cannot imagine the pressure she will be under at such a young age,” Julia agreed. As we continued to talk, I heard footsteps coming from the hallway. Laura came around the corner, “Am I intruding?” she asked, prepared to leave the room. “Not at all. We were just admiring the babie

Julia POV “Are you mad?” she whispered. “Mad? Are you crazy? I could not be prouder to know my mate is expecting our pup,” Jackson replied before capturing Cami’s lips in a passionate kiss. The room exploded with excitement, as everyone gathered around to congratulate the couple. I hugged Cami, with Beatrix between us. “I am so happy for you,” I said, as I wiped tears from my cheeks. “I am excited and terrified. We will have two babies under a year old. I cannot imagine,” she said, sounding a bit overwhelmed. I stared at her for a moment and then we both burst out laughing. With the twins, I also had two under the age of one. “We will figure it all out together,” I promised her as she hugged me again, before everyone else crowded in to get hugs. I could not believe how blessed we all were. With the four babies being gifted to us, and knowing their futures would be bright, and dangerous, I sat there for a moment as the re
Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 110 - Negotiation
Julia POV “What does everyone mean?” I questioned, as Eric moved towards me, nudging me to sit down. I took my seat while Jackson stood by the chair where Cami and Beatrix were sitting. “It is not an easy answer,” Elizabeth starts to say as Cami gasps, her grip on Beatrix tightening. Elizabeth stepped forward and took a seat on the table directly in front of Cami. She reached out and touched the baby in Cami’s arms before looking to both Cami and Jackson. “I have worked out an arrangement,” she started to say when Jackson cut her off, “What kind of arrangement?”. “One where you get to keep Beatrix, for the time being,” Elizabeth said. I gasped, realizing that Cami may not get to keep Beatrix. I had assumed because she was here, she was theirs. I had forgotten about the witches who wanted Beatrix. “That does not sound good,” Cami stated as she rubbed the baby’s back. Jackson had his hand on Cami’s shoulde

Eric POV I held Julia in my arms for hours. I never stirred and as if sensing the need for this time, the pups did not stir either. I heard the doctor enter the room, “Prince Eric, we wanted to check on your mate, before we sign the release documents,” she said softly. I looked at her in surprise, “So soon?” I asked. “It is incredible. I ran the labs a short time ago, and she was already healing much further along that we would have expected. I suspect she has a strong wolf, who was able to take over once we had done all we could,” the doctor stated. I looked to her for a moment, before turning my head back to Julia. “You did it sweetheart,” I whispered as the doctor left me to wake my mate up. I leaned forward, kissing Julia’s lips softly. Moaning in her sleep, her arms wrapped around my neck, pulling me closer. Our tongues slid over one another, tasting each other, reconnecting and celebrating us. As our kiss deepened
Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 108 - Dreams
Julia POV I laid there silently watching my family. Eric was asleep in the chair beside me. He was slumped over the bed, with his arm around my waist. I could hear the little satisfied sounds babies make when they first wake up. I loved that they were patient enough to wait for their daddy to wake. I lifted my arm, it was heavy and shaky, but I moved it to place it on Eric’s head. Playing with his hair, as I waited for him to wake up. I knew all that he had gone through was horrible. Watching me being rushed to the operating room, our babies being delivered without him being there. Waiting for me to wake up. It had been a long couple of days, but I finally opened my eyes. I did not think I would ever close them again, for fear of missing something. As my fingers moved through Eric’s hair, I felt him stir. I recognized the moment he realized something was different. He slowly turned lifted his head, look
Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 107 - Waking?
Eric POV I watched as the twins were wheeled into Julia’s room. I went to her and told her that her babies were waiting for her. I kissed her warm lips softly, before stepping away to help set the twins up. It was late, and I wanted to get the twins settled before I stepped over to watch over Julia. Both twins fussed for a couple minutes but quickly settled after they had a bottle. I kissed each child, “Your mommy is going to be with you soon; I promise,” I murmured to them both. The nurse looked to me, “Would you like me to stay?” she asked quietly. I looked to her, “No, thank you for everything you have done,” I responded as she nodded and walked from the room. Everyone had left, as I had requested, so it was just the four of us. I could hardly grasp everything that had happened today. From finding out Henrietta had been under our noses all along. To having the twins arrive, to almost losing my mate. I did not care what
Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 106 - Returning
Eric POV I watched Julia fight to survive; I held my breath waiting. The intense sound of the alarm signalling death was unnerving. I started to turn away, my heart in my throat, ready to crumble to the ground. Suddenly there was a faint blip in the sound. It did not fully register with me until I heard a second … and then a third. I heard a gasp from one of the medical team, “She is alive,” they stated. “Barely. We need to get her to the ICU. Finish stitching her up, and then we will move her quickly,” the doctor said. I watched in disbelief as they prepared Julia for the ICU. “Is she in any pain?” I asked, alarmed at everything that was happening around me. “We do not know; we will give her something to help just in case,” the doctor assured me. I watched as they finished and rushed Julia to another area. Realizing I had forgotten about our pups, I turned to see them being wheeled away, “Where are you taking them?” I as
