Julia POV

I looked to Eric in surprise. He put his phone on speaker phone and nodded to me to speak. “Hello?” I replied. I heard a swift intake of breath from the other end of the line. “Julia?” I heard come out in a somewhat strangled voice. “Yes. Who is this?” I demanded. “I am your father, Julia,” the man responded.

“How do I know this is even real?” I asked. I had no connection to this voice. No immediate sense of recognition. No feeling like I was talking to a parent. “I understand you have questions,” he started to say when I interrupted him. “Questions? I have more than questions. I have years of wondering where the hell you were. Years of wondering if you even knew I existed. My mother never mentioned my father, so how do I know this is not some sick game for you?” I asked, as my voice cracked.

A small part of me wanted to believe there was someone out there who I was related to. But not like this. Not rel

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 71 - Danger

    Eric POV My body tensed and I stepped in front of Julia to protect her from whoever was in front of us. I watched the woman move forward towards Julia, but I held my hand out stopping her in her tracks. “Do not come any closer,” I cautioned her. I had no qualms about killing this threat. “Julia,” the woman said softly. I glanced at Julia to see tears streaming down her cheeks. What the hell. Who was this woman? “It is not possible,” Julia mumbled as Cami moved forward. “What kind of joke is this?” Cami demanded angrily. “Who is she?” I asked tersely, needing to know what we were dealing with. “My mother,” Julia responded in a strangled voice. I looked between the woman and Julia and could see the family resemblance. But how was it possible? She died? Didn’t she? “You are an imposter,” I said angrily, moving towards the woman. I would not have Julia hurt more than she already had been. “Do not come an

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 72 - Shock

    Julia POV “Why is that any different than what we already knew?” I asked, confused and angry at the situation we were in. I was in shock, I knew that. My mother was alive and standing in front of me. And all I could feel was bitterness and resentment. I should be rejoicing in her being alive, but I felt nothing but betrayal and hurt. “Guardian wolves are rare; a healing Guardian wolf is even more rare. We can heal other wolves as well as humans,” the man claiming to be my father stated. “That is a good thing. We could help many people,” I stated, unclear what the problem was. “Julia, sweetheart, you do not understand,” Eric started to say when I cut him off. “So, dumb it down for me, Eric. What is the problem?” I demanded angrily. Eric sighed, “If you heal too many people, you will die yourself. Once people realize you can heal wolves as well as humans, there are corrupt wolves who would sell you to the highest bidders;

    Eric POV “Twins,” I heard over and over in my mind. I was elated to find out my mate was expecting our pups, but also terrified. We had so much on our plates. There was so much danger surrounding Julia. How would I be able to protect her and the twins? What did this even mean? Did this mean the Moon Goddess would bless the world with more Guardian wolves? “This is crap. We are leaving,” I heard Julia say as she turned to me seeking my support. “Eric?” she asked tentatively. I looked at her and wanted to tell her what she wanted to hear. I simply did not know if I could tell her that. “You do not believe them, do you?” Julia asked angrily. “I do not know what to believe,” I replied honestly. “If you are carrying our pups, we need to ensure your safety now more than ever,” I told her. “If she is expecting, I can protect her,” Cami said, stepping forward. “You cannot protect her like we can,” Lincoln growled at Cami.

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 74 - Leaving

    Julia POV I was crushed. This should be the happiest time in my life, but it seemed it was the worst. How could so many things be falling apart like this? I started to walk past Eric, when he took hold of my arm and pulled me into his arms. I wanted to breakdown, but I knew I needed to be strong. “This is good news,” he murmured to me. “Then why does it feel like a death sentence?” I asked, my voice muffled by his chest. He leaned me back, “It is good news. You are having my pups,” he said as his lips gently captured mine. I pulled back slightly, “I am having babies,” I muttered as he chuckled. Getting used to the thought of having “pups” was going to take me a bit of time. “We have some serious things to discuss,” Eric suggested as I sighed. I knew we did, and I could anticipate what he was going to suggest. “I do not want to be without you,” I said to him, suddenly scared of the thoughts of being away from him. He loo

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 75 - Complications

    Eric POV I ran out of the building and towards the vehicles waiting for me. I knew Julia was safe with Jackson and Cami. I needed to get back to the Palace, make some adjustments as I did not know how long I would be away, and return to be with Julia. Twins. We were having twins. I could not believe it, but as I took a moment to breathe, I was excited. Thrilled at the thoughts of starting a family with Julia. I was worried about the future battle, but hoped she would have the pups before the battle came to us. We raced along the streets, until I felt a sigh of relief in seeing the palace. I immediately mind-linked Elizabeth, “I need to see you at my place immediately,” I said. Hearing the urgency through the link, Elizabeth agreed immediately, and I knew she would be waiting for me to arrive. I impatiently waited for the vehicle to stop before I jumped out and headed towards my house. The door swung open, and I saw both El

    Eric POV What the hell just happened? “What do you mean you lost her?” I yelled into the phone. Elizabeth looked on with concern, wondering what to do to help. “Stay there. I am on my way,” I muttered as I hung up the phone and turned to walk out of the house. “Wait! What is happening?” Elizabeth demanded. “They lost Julia,” I said angrily, annoyed at being delayed from getting to my mate. “How?” Carter asked trying to help me focus. I took a breath, “They said she just disappeared in front of them. And now there is a wall in their way, and they cannot see or hear her,” I said desperately. If Lincoln or Laura did anything to Julia, I would hunt them down until the day I died and then I would destroy both of them. I could only pray to the Moon Goddess that both Lincoln and Laura would do everything in their power to protect Julia until I can get to her. “What about the tracker?” Carter said to me. “What

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 77 - Escape

    Julia POV “Blessed or cursed?” I heard from behind me. I whipped my head around and leapt into the person’s arms. “How did you find me?” I asked as I kissed Eric’s lips. “Remember when you lost your phone?” he asked as he returned my kisses. He was feeling my body for any injuries, assuring himself I was fine. I nodded, “I put a tracker in your phone. I wanted to do everything I could to ensure I would not lose you,” he shared with me. Tears filled my eyes, “I am grateful you did,” I replied as he hugged me tightly to him. He gently placed me on my feet, holding me under his shoulder. “What the fuck were you thinking?” he demanded of Lincoln, as he nudged me behind him. I knew Eric was tightly strung and ready to fight. “I was thinking of how best to protect my daughter,” Lincoln replied calmly. “You do not get to do that!” I yelled, before continuing, “You have never been my father and because you showed up, does not eras

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 78 - Distance

    Julia POV It had been seven days since I had seen Eric. Lincoln was adamant it was for the best and kept me distracted with the training he had put together. Laura continually hovered around, wanting to have more of a relationship than I was prepared to give her. I was civil with Lincoln but only so far as I needed to be. I was strong as a wolf, and stronger in my human form, but the healing was taking its toll on me. Learning the intricate details of healing, was key to knowing when you could heal someone and when you needed to let nature take its course. Of course, there was also getting to understand your own body so that you could heal yourself, if the need every arose. “How will I know if I can heal myself? I am not likely to hurt myself,” I stated to Lincoln at the end of a rigorous session. “We will start training physically tomorrow. That will allow you the chance to be injured, and to heal yourself as we continue to

    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

    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
