All Chapters of Awakening the Rejected Queen: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Eden's POVZane carried me out of the Easy Spit and out into the street. Already, his warriors swarmed the streets, taking over.They hollered out orders. Rogues were to do whatever they asked, and if they didn’t like it, they could leave.He spotted a hotel and strode towards it, with me securely in his arms.I didn’t say a word the whole way there. Truth be told, I think I was in a bit of shock.Zane was the last person I’d expected to see today at the Easy Spit. I knew people were out looking for me, but I didn’t think Zane would be personally leading the search.Seeing him there, in the whorehouse, had moved me deeply. My savior. Come to rescue me. Again.Had I been wrong about Zane? Did he truly care about me? I clung to him as we walked down the street. I felt so safe in his strong arms. But did he love me? REALLY love me?Or was he just doing all this for Slade?The image of Slade tore through my mind. His sharp teeth, his menacing eyes. I’d been terrifying that night back at

Eden's POVMy skin was on fire. Butterflies ripped through my stomach. My heart beat with desire. I never wanted to leave his arms, I wanted him wrapped around me forever.“To the bed,” he whispered in my ear.The bed?Like I had a choice. His breath felt like bolts of electricity. With his arms still wrapped firmly around my waist, Zane walked me over the bed. When we got there, he released me and spun me around. His face said it all. This was about a lot more than just ‘healing’. He wanted me. I wanted him.I was naked. He was half-naked. The sexual chemistry was so thick, I could have cut it with a knife.He placed his hands on my shoulders and gently pushed me onto the bed.He hovered over me. I looked up into his eyes. Lust rippled through me. A sharp sting in my arm, though, reminded me of my wounds.“I need medication,” I shyly reminded him. I was worried about the infection. If we left it too long, it could get bad really fast. And without a wolf, I had no way to fight it off

Zane's POV“I’ll go with you.” Eden’s voice was soft. I was putting on my shirt. Damn, she looked so beautiful. Her naked skin glistened in the soft light of the room. I didn’t want to leave her. EVER again. I wanted to lie in bed with her all night. To hold her close. But they’d found Caleb and I had to go deal with that.“No,” I said, shaking my head. “You stay here. Rest.” The welts on her arms were healing, thanks to my saliva. But she still looked tired, weary. She needed to sleep.I bent down and took her head in my hands. I kissed her forehead.“I won’t be long. Rest. Wait for me here.”Then I left Eden and followed my warrior to the room where Caleb was being held. I stormed into the room. He was sitting on a chair in the middle of the room. The sight of him made my blood boil.I marched towards him without a word and punched him hard, right in the stomach. He yelped and bent over, almost falling off the chair. My Lycan strength had probably ruptured something inside his stoma

Eden's POVI couldn’t believe what I had done. I snapped. Slapped Zane. Straight across the face.The room was silent. The warriors, the guards, Caleb, Zane – they all stood frozen in place, eyes wide. My cheeks flushed with embarrassment. I felt tears in my eyes. Everyone was staring at me. This was all too much. I couldn’t handle this anymore. Zane’s jealousy. His rage. I had to get out of here.So I ran out of the room before the tears spilled from my eyes.Zane caught up with me in the hall.“Eden,” he said, grabbing my arm. “Where are you going?”I didn’t know. I didn’t know where I was going. Anywhere but here? Away from him? Away from all of this? Is that what I really wanted though? To be away from Zane?The first time I’d left him, I’d missed him. Terribly. I didn’t even realize how much until I saw him again at my grandfather’s party.And then, in the Easy Spit, when Zane came to rescue me…My heart soared at the sight of him.But now?I didn’t know what I wanted. My heart r

Eden's POVAlpha Skylar walked away, his head hung low. I watched. Zane wrapped his arm around me, protectively. Zane was right. There was NOTHING innocent about Jacob. He was a sleaze. But he was young. And he wasn’t entirely to blame for everything. Zane’s punishment was just and fair.“Eden!”I turned to see Astrid emerging from the forest. Without a second thought I ran to her. We embraced. At the rogue camp, she’d stayed behind at the Easy Spit to help the battered women. So I hadn’t really had a chance to talk to her.“I’m so glad you’re safe,” she said to me. She linked her arm to mine. “Zane, I’ll be stealing Eden away for a bit. We have a lot to catch up on.”Zane nodded and smiled. He knew I was safe with Astrid. He didn’t want to let me out of his sight, but he trusted Astrid. “Of course,” he said.Astrid and I walked arm in arm to the garden. We sat on a small bench. The flowers were in full bloom, and the air was fresh and sweet. Sitting there, beside Astrid, a sense of c
