Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 87 - Gone
Julia POV As we shifted and raced back home, I considered how I was going to handle Lincoln. He needed to go; I simply did not know if he would go peacefully. Did it matter, I thought to myself. Eric stuck close to me, offering me his warmth to help deal with the anger I felt. I was furious that so many lives had been risked tonight and for what? As we arrived at the clearing, we both shifted and put our clothes on. Eric turned to me, “Whatever happens, you have my support,” he stated. “I appreciate that; there is only one solution,” I replied as we walked towards the house. “Make the right decision for you. You have much to learn, still,” he reminded me. “There must be other ways to learn,” I replied as we walked into the open door of the house. As we walked in, it was eerily silent. Eric nudged me behind him. I rolled my eyes but allowed my man to take the lead as I listened intently for any movement. There was nothi

Julia POV We came downstairs the next morning to find Laura sobbing in the sitting room. I looked around to see if anyone had brought her anything for breakfast. Walking towards her, I asked, “Have you eaten?”. She looked up at me with her wet cheeks and bloodshot eyes and spit out, “It is because of you he left!”. “He tried to have Eric killed last night. If he had not left on his own, I was going to kick him out. The only unfortunate part is he did not take you with him,” I replied calmly. “Julia,” Eric started to say but I held my hand up. “I do not know who you are, but my mother never pined away for a man in her life. It is like by saving you, you lost a piece of yourself,” I told her. She looked at me and wiped her cheeks, “I need to leave. I need to find him,” she murmured. “Do you know how to find him?” I asked, as we still wanted to get him back. “I think I could find my way,” she mumbled, as she stood and moved

Julia POV We sat with that information for a few hours, as I went about developing a new training program. I knew what I needed to work on, and I was able to put together the new pieces and incorporate them into the overall plan. Cami would be arriving shortly to help include some of her powers in the training. She was a strong witch on her own, and I knew her witchery would help strengthen me. I rested my hand on my growing baby bump. It seemed like overnight my belly had started to grow. I knew I was having twins, and they would arrive sooner than a normal pregnancy. I was still struggling to wrap my head around it all. “What’s wrong?” Eric asked, as he walked into his office. I looked up at him positive the love for him was shining through my eyes. “Nothing, I was just thinking how crazy it is that these babies will be here before we know it,” I replied. He came around and put his much larger hands over mine, protecting

Cami POV My heart was in my throat. One million dollars. I did not have a million dollars. And then suddenly Jackson states that he will pay the one million dollars. I heard the snap of the man’s arm, as Jackson shoved him away. He fell to the ground, and I simply stood watching my mate in awe. I had no idea how it could happen, but he just saved Louise from a very definite death. And the loss of our baby girl. I knew it was not logical, but I felt a deep connection to this unborn child. Something I had no idea I would have ever wanted, was now something so critical to me as breathing. I felt I would lose a part of me, if I were to lose the baby. Jackson moved towards me, and I moved quickly into his arms, wrapping my arms around his waist. I could not hold back the tears that had escaped my eyes. “I got you,” he murmured to me softly as we stood there for a moment while Louise’s father screamed for assistance with his ar

Eric POV I immediately called a meeting with our top trackers. While the room Laura and Lincoln had shared had been cleaned of any scent, I still needed to figure out where he was holed up. Had this been his hiding place all this time? And if it was, why take the fight away from here? I had a lot of questions, but the first was where the hell was he? “I need you to search the territory. Anything that looks even remotely like a hide-away, notify me immediately. I want to be there when the area is searched,” I tell them. “What are we searching for, Prince Eric?” one of the trackers asked. “A man – his name is Lincoln and a woman – her name is Laura. They are believed to be on the property. We do not want them harmed. We simply want to bring them in, as soon as possible. It is for their own safety,” I shared. I was telling a bit of a white lie, but I would not compromise my mate. The fewer people who knew she was a Guardia

Julia POV I had felt myself sucked in by some invisible force but was grateful that Eric had recognized it and used his own power to pull me back. I felt nauseous thinking about what could have happened. I whipped around and glared at Lincoln, “How dare you!” I yelled. Lincoln looked back at me with a smirk. “Take your mother home, now,” Lincoln demanded. “How long have you been living here?” Eric asked. Lincoln just laughed, “There is so much that happens within this territory. You are all so naïve,” he replied. “Guards, take him into custody,” Eric commanded. The guards started to move forward, but Lincoln held up his arm. “Do not come any closer,” he stated. The guards continued towards him, and he yelled again, “Do not come any closer!” he yelled. The guards continued, almost reaching him when Laura started to laugh. “She left you!” she cried out, as she continued to laugh uncontrollably. “Who left

Eric POV I paused for a moment, as I considered what Julia had said. “If he is the father, that would explain him lingering. But what about his interest in our pups?” I asked. Julia considered my question, “One way to find out. Let’s ask him,” she suggested. I nodded, “First we need to check in on Laura,” I suggested. We quickly shifted and took off towards the palace. Everything had gone into lockdown when it was determined there were potential threats on the property. Elizabeth would have been taken to a private area, to ensure her protection. Carter would be close by, ensuring her and their pups were safe. We reached the tree line and shifted once again, grabbing clothes that were waiting for us. I led the way to the hospital, as Julia remained silent. “What are you thinking about?” I asked, taking her hand. It was chilled, which was rare for a wolf to be cold. We typically ran hot. “What would it m

Julia POV We waited for hours, with no news. I was getting more uncomfortable as the minutes ticked by. What did it mean? I shut my eyes briefly, and felt Eric nudge me gently. “Wake up, sweetheart,” he whispered. I nuzzled into his neck, not wanting to wake until he nudged me again, “The doctor is here,” he murmured. That got my attention, and I woke up quickly to see everyone looking at me. Cami with a smirk, the doctor with a gentle smile. “Prince Eric, we have finally managed to stabilize the woman brought in earlier,” the doctor offered. “What took so long?” I asked, standing up. “There was a fast-acting poison in her blood stream. Every time we cleared one area, it had already travelled to another,” she summarized. “So, she is going to be fine?” I asked. “To be honest, we do not know. She is currently in a coma, and we do not know when she will come out of that coma,” the doctor shared. “Can’t yo

Eric POV “Julia!” I yelled, as I raced to her side, catching her before she hit the ground. Her body was lifeless, but she had a heartbeat. I lifted her quickly and started to run with her, “Hold on baby, just hold on,” I kept saying to her, repeatedly. I needed her to fight to stay alive. I arrived at the hospital with the medical team waiting. I knew Jackson had called ahead; I was focused on getting to the hospital. I felt Cami and Jackson around me, but I could not focus on anything but my mate. I placed Julia’s body on the bed gently and followed the team racing towards the emergency room. “Prince Eric, it is best if you wait out here,” the head doctor said. “No fucking way,” I said as I moved around the doctor and entered the room. There was complete chaos. Orders were being yelled out; actions were being taken. I realized what looked like chaos to me was actually organized chaos. These professionals knew what they

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
Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 102 - Intentions
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
Rejecting the Prince's Mate Chapter 97 - Secret
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

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
