Jackson POV

I had held Cami through the night and simply watched her get her rest. She had needed it. She was not like a wolf, where she could self-heal. It was painful to watch her have to suffer through her human like healing. I felt her stir in my arms, and I watched as she came awake with a gasp.

“It is okay. You are safe,” I murmured to her as she eventually relaxed into my arms. “And Julia?” she asked quickly. “Same,” I replied. She sighed as she started to sit up but cringed with the pain in her side. “Here, let me help you,” I said as I helped her sit up. “I need to use the washroom,” she mumbled as she swung her legs over the side of the bed.

I helped her stand, only to have her slowly fall into my arms, “How about I carry you there?” I suggested. “That would be nice,” she murmured. I smiled, recognizing she was on some good pain killers. I gently lifted her in my arms and carried her to the washroom. She refu

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 49 - Ready

    Jackson POV We had discussed everything with Eric and Julia for a couple hours. I finally took an exhausted Cami back home to my house. Much to the anger of both Cami and Julia. Julia wanted Cami to stay with her, Cami wanted to stay with Julia or go home, to which we all agreed that was not happening. And now finally she was in my arms as I carried her into my home. She was fast asleep and all I wanted to do was get her into bed, give her some pain killers and let her sleep for a while. There would be time to talk later. As I made it to my bedroom, Cami stirred in her sleep. “Are you planning on taking advantage of me?” she asked me with a yawn. “Is that an option?” I asked, teasing her. She smiled up at me, “I have a feeling with you it will always be an option,” she replied leaning into my neck and kissing me. I felt the sparks bounce between us. They were more intense than I had ever expected they wou

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 50 - Family

    Julia POV Carter kept coming at me, and after I got past the discomfort of hitting someone, I quite enjoyed my strength. Carter took it easy at first, but then he kept pushing. He took a swing at my face, which I deflected. Then he kicked his leg out trying to swing his leg so that he tripped me, but I jumped over them. Then I returned the favour, to a high kick that clipped his chin. “Okay enough! You will not stop until you hurt one another,” Elizabeth called out. Eric moved forward, “Are you okay?” he asked checking me over. I was panting and exhilarated. “I feel great. Do you want to train with me?” I asked with a smile. “I think you have done enough for today,” Eric chuckled. “How about going for a run? My wolf, Sasha, has been after me to ask you and Timothy,” I suggested, looking up at Eric. He hugged me to him, “I think we can manage that,” he replied. I jumped up in his arms wrapping my legs around his waist, n

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 51 - Unexpected

    Julia POV “Then your old family will suffer,” the male responded. “My old family is already dead,” I replied as the man looked at me. “Are they?” he asked with a smirk. I had no idea what that meant but before I could say anything else, he stated, “You have twenty-four hours to decide; we will be in touch.”. With that he and the remaining rogues took off into the forest. Eric, with Carter, started checking on the wounded. As they supported the medical team getting warriors prepared for transport, they came back over to me. I had been staring into the forest wondering what that man had meant. “It is time to go back home,” Eric said as he put his arm around me. I looked up at him, startled to feel him near me. I had been so lost in my own thoughts, that I had not realized he and carter were watching me. “Should we follow them?” I asked, confused by their lack of action. “They know we cannot follow them. Following them int

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 52 - Options

    Julia POV My heart was breaking into a million pieces. Since we had left Elizabeth, neither Eric nor I had said anything. We were both lost in our own thoughts with the information that had been shared with us. Nothing would be final until a DNA test was taken to prove the baby was Eric’s, but that also hindered any plans we had for our future. As we walked into Eric’s home, he pulled me into his arms, “I do not care what the test says. I will not give you up,” Eric promised me. “I do not think you can make that promise,” I said as the tears that I had been trying to keep contained started to flow. “How can we be so close and yet so far?” I asked, confusion sweeping over me. “It is my fault,” Eric said as I stood there not disagreeing with him. “Why did you do it? Knowing I was your mate, how could you do that?” I demanded of him. My anger was starting to rise. Anger at the mess we were currently facing. “I was pissed of

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 53 - You Are Mine

    Jackson POV I had watched Cami sleep most of the day away. I only woke her to give her medication. She was beautiful. I had thought she was the most beautiful woman I had ever put my eyes on when I first saw her. But every moment with her she grows increasingly beautiful. I did not even think I would be able to find my mate after all this time. But here she is, and I recognize that the Moon Goddess has blessed me. I cringe when I think how I reacted when I first learned she was a witch. I had no right to question the Moon Goddess and fortunately I was able to get my mate back. I had left Cami alone for a while as I did some work in my office, but looking at my watch it was time to check on her once again. I tapped softly on the door. Hearing no response, I quietly opened the door and walked in. Cami was sitting up looking at her phone, effectively ignoring me. She looked up as I walked in, “I was wondering where you were,

    Cami POV I had no idea what was happening. One minute we were in the throes of passion and the next, Jackson was writhing in pain. “What is happening?” I asked him as he rolled over to his back. “I do not know. I have a stabbing pain in my neck,” he responded gasping for breath. “Let me see, baby,” I murmured as I put my hand on his. It seemed to help as he slowly lifted his hand and let me see what was causing him so much pain. I gasped at the sight. It was like his skin had been branded. “What?” he asked me as I touched the mark on his flesh. “I have to do some research, but if I am correct, our bond has been blessed,” I stated in awe watching the mark form. It would take a few hours to settle but I was confident this was what it was. “Are you serious?” Jackson asked as he eased his way from the bed. He looked in the mirror and stepped back looking at me. “What does it mean to be blessed?” he asked br

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 55 - Interpretations

    Julia POV I looked at the canvas painting that Eric was holding and I am struck by the likeness in the picture to Fred and Mary – my neighbours from my apartment. “Why would you have painted them?” I asked him. Eric looked at me not remembering he had met them the first day at my apartment. I explained who they were, and he was confused. “Do you remember this man?” he asked pointing to the man who confronted us at the vehicle while we were waiting for Jackson to arrive with Cami. “Yes, I do. Why did you paint all these people?” I asked. “When I paint, I do not know what I will paint. It is all done abstract, like I go into a trance of sorts,” Eric explains. “That is incredible,” I replied as I stared at the picture. “It does not explain how Fred and Mary ended up here. I wonder if they are in danger because they know me?” I asked, concerned for their safety. They were such a lovely couple; I knew I needed to see them. “I

    Eric POV “You are willing to take too many chances with your life, Julia!” I said angrily to her. I did not care that others were around. I had too many emotions running through me at the thoughts of Julia in danger. Regardless of how strong she is. She is my mate, and it is my duty to protect her. “They were good to me, Zack. They are innocent in all of this,” Julia responded. “We will find them, but not at the risk of your life,” I replied. Cami looked to me, “Maybe we do not have to use Julia. Maybe we can create a decoy of sorts,” she offered. It piqued my curiosity, “Explain,” I said. “What if we publish your engagement, and maybe host an intimate celebration with close family. The family are all strong, but he will not be able to stop himself from making an appearance. We will all be there to protect Julia,” Cami suggested. I sat with the thought for a few moments, “That could work,” I murmured as Julia stepped cl

    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

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 113 - No

    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

    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

    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
