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 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,

    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

    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

    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

    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

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mate   Chapter 105 - Pain

    Eric POV I paced the floor outside the operating room. All that flashed through my mind was the moment I met Julia, to where we were today. All that we had been through and the future we had left to live. There was so much to be said, so much loving to be had. I saw Elizabeth and Carter enter the waiting area, and it just raised the level of stress for me. Seeing everyone gathered, tears in the women’s eyes, was just one more indication of how bad things were. I stepped further away from everyone, needing a moment to myself. As I stood there, I contemplated what my life would be like without Julia. And the pain caused me to stop thinking that. She would live. I knew she would. She had to. As I turned towards the operating room, I heard the cry of a baby. I held my breath, knowing that was one. As I waited, my heart started to sink until I heard the scream of a second baby. Everyone around me moved forward, congratulatin

    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

    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

    Julia POV It had been six months since we had got rid of Henrietta for good. Martha had become a staple in our lives. She never tried to take over being anything more than an aunt to Beatrix. Cami had her baby boy. Jackson and she were in love of their little boy, and Beatrix was loving being an older sister. They named him Alex, a strong name for a strong boy. Layla was in love with Ethan and Lucas was his best friend. The four babies loved each other and were constantly searching for the others. “Life is blissful,” I murmured as we watched our babies. Eric was at work, Jackson as well and the two of us were on baby duty. I had started some online courses to work towards my social worker degree. I loved the courses, and found the right balance between the babies, Eric and my studies. As always, Eric was incredibly supportive of what I did. We were living a life of peace and quiet these days. But we wer

    Julia POV My sobs quickly diminish as I realize that Martha is standing in our home. “How did you get here?” I demanded quickly. I stood, tense, in front of her, as Cami moved to stand beside me. She had given Beatrix to Jackson. Both men were tense by our sides, as we waited for her to speak. “I managed to escape,” she replied quickly. “How could you escape so easily, after having been contained?” Cami asked. “I do not know. One minute I was contained, and the next I was able to escape,” she said, sounding somewhat confused, before adding, “And then I was here.”. “That sounds too coincidental,” I stated. I moved forward, expecting her to disappear in front of me. “Julia,” Eric cautioned, but it would not stop me from moving forward. “How do we know you are not another version of Henrietta?” I asked softly. “You do not know. Call in the Witches Council. They will be able to verify who I am,” Martha replied calmly.

    Julia POV I stood there holding the doors closed, as Cami came to stand beside me. “Careful ladies, you do not want to hurt the little one,” Henrietta cautioned. “You would hurt your own child?” Cami asked, disgusted. “Of course not, but you might do so in your haste,” she replied. My eyes scanned the room. I saw Eric and Jackson were moving to either side of Henrietta. “Stop right there, or I will kill her,” Henrietta spat out. Everyone stopped moving, as I glanced back to ensure my babies were safe. They continued to sleep, which I prayed they would do until this was over. “You are all going to step back and let me leave with my daughter,” Henrietta said. Cami gasped, as Jackson stepped forward, “Not a chance, bitch.”. “Is that any kind of language to use around an impressionable mind?” she taunted. “Coming from someone like you, that is rich,” I said, as I continued to watch her movements. She was gett

    Julia POV “What the hell does that mean?” Jackson asked. We all sat there considering the words. “It could be the sister asking for help,” I suggested. “It could also be a ploy to trap us,” Eric said. Both were valid reasons given who we were working with. “What do we know about the sister?” I asked. “We do not know a lot. Just that she is Henrietta’s twin, she is powerful, like Henrietta,” Cami shared. “Was she ever considered the good witch?” Jackson asked. “I do not know if either would be considered a good witch,” she admitted, frowning. “I will contact the Witches Council,” Cami said as she stood and pulled out her phone. “Wait. What if this person does need help, will the Witches Council want to help? Or will they want to trap her and harm her?” Jackson asked. “Could it be the Witches Council who has her?” Eric added. Cami was looking between both men, when she threw up her hands, “I have no idea!”.

    Julia POV Morning and all its delicious busyness came quickly. The twins were up early, waiting to be fed. We were fortunate they were quickly adapting to a reasonable schedule. One I knew was not the norm for newborn babies. I enjoyed my time feeding my babies, while Eric got them cleaned up. “We make a great team,” Eric smiled, as we put the twins in their car seats. They were perfect when we wanted to transport them, and when we got downstairs so they could stay in them until we had their mat out so they could crawl around and make all the fun noises babies made. Cami and Jackson were coming over this morning. Cami had found something out in her research, that she wanted to share as soon as possible. She wanted to come last night, but Jackson put his foot down, indicating they had other things to do first. I suspect it was a celebration, and chuckled at how annoyed Cami would be to be stopped when on a mission.

    Cami POV “How do you know who I am?” I asked, uncertain of what to say. “It is my job to know who is inquiring about me,” the individual responded. “Where are you?” I asked, wanting to get to my questions. “Do you think it would benefit me to share that information?” the individual responded. I paused. They were right. If I had the right person, who was in hiding, why would they try to help me? “Why are you hiding?” I asked. “Seriously? That is the question you want to ask me?” they taunted. I felt like I was on a time clock, and I did not know the skill testing question. “Why is your sister so mean?” I asked bluntly. I did not know if I was, in fact, talking to Martha, but it was worth a shot. I saw a smiley face with tears come across my screen. Are you kidding me?!? “She was born that way,” the individual responded. “So, you are her sister?” I tried to confirm. “I am someone very close to her,” the

    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
