All Chapters of Awakening the Rejected Queen: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Zane's POVI glanced over the wolf. Alpha Sandon. The one who had attacked me during the ambush in the forest. He was dying. Good. He deserved it. He was like an insect to me, like a little useless ant.Eden was in pain. The wound on her shoulder was bad, oozing thick, crimson blood. She was strong and she tried to hide her fear. But I could see it in her eyes. Her pain and her fear.“Puh, puh please,” Alpha Sandon said, crawling towards me on shaky legs. “Please…”But I marched straight over to him. I lifted him up by the scruff of his neck. He thought he was strong. Thought he could kill me and my Eden. He was no match for me, though.He opened his mouth to speak again, but I gave his neck a good, hard twist. It made a popping sound and then his head dropped to his shoulder, his eyes locked wide open. I dragged his body to the window and tossed him off the deck, like the pile of garbage he was.His lifeless body landed on the ground with a thud. I went back to Eden. She was lying

Zane's POV“Her wolf!” I said excitedly, looking at the doctor. “Her wolf has awakened!”I couldn’t believe it. I was still in shock. Eden’s wolf had awakened. I didn’t know how, but she had.Doctor Michael shook his head.“That’s impossible, King Zane,” he said. “Eden is dead.” Beta Brighton looked at me, concerned. “Eden doesn’t have a wolf,” he whispered.I knew what Beta Brighton was thinking. That I was in denial about Eden’s death. That I was losing my mind.“She does,” I told him. “And it just woke up. I’m not crazy. I swear. Eden has a wolf and her wolf is awake now.”He studied my face. Then he nodded. He could see I wasn’t crazy, that I was telling the truth. “That’s…that’s incredible,” he said.“But how did this happen?” the doctor asked. “How did her wolf awaken when she’s…”“It was me,” I said. I realized then what had just happened. It was our mate-bond. Slade had always been able to sense Eden’s wolf. He just hadn’t been able to locate her. But my love for Eden, it a

Eden's POV‘My wolf?’ I asked. ‘Zara?’‘Yes, Eden. You need to wake up now. Our mate is waiting for us,’ my wolf, Zara, said.‘But I can’t see you,’ I told her. ‘Why can’t I see you?’‘Because you’re not awake,’ she said.‘Where am I?’ I asked. I hadn’t questioned it before. I had been content to just float here. But now that I heard her voice, a prickling sensation ran through me.What was going on? ‘You’re in between,’ she told me.‘In between what?’ I asked.‘In between death and the afterlife. This is death, Eden. This space. This is the space between life and the afterlife.’‘What is that?’ I asked, pointing to the white abyss.‘That’s the afterlife,’ she said. ‘And any moment now, you’ll be pulled into the abyss. That’s where your afterlife awaits you.’I looked to the white abyss. ‘But that’s where the others went,’ I said, confused.‘No, Eden. That was only your subconscious. They came from the darkness, over there. That’s your conscious mind. Or what little you have left of

Eden's POV“I’ve never seen anything like it,” the doctor gushed. His astonishment was evident.“It’s…it’s a miracle,” Zane agreed.I relaxed, my tense muscles easing and releasing, while Zara worked the magic of the white wolf.It only took a few minutes before I could finally speak again.“Zane,” I said, my voice still raspy. “It’s Zara. She’s healing me.”“It’s extraordinary,” he exclaimed.Within a few more moments, I was able to wiggle the fingers on the hand of my torn shoulder. There was no more pain. Just an itchy sensation.“It’s itchy,” I told Zara.“It’s healing. The itch won’t last long.”She was right.In the time span of only five minutes, I had gone from being is so much pain I couldn’t speak, to completely mended. My broken ribs, the torn flesh in my shoulder, the gashes all over my legs and arms – it was all gone. I was perfectly in tact.I scooted myself up to sitting position and smiled at Zane.But then….I noticed something. My hand flew to my belly. I pressed on i

Eden's POVNever, in the history of the world, has there been a werewolf as happy as I was those few following days.At least, that’s how it felt.I felt like I was floating, my heart was so full of love and excitement. My days were filled with preparations for the up-coming mating ceremony, from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. And NOTHING could have made me happier.I felt like a bride-to-be as I chose food, and flowers, and made a guest list. The ceremony was to be held in the garden. That was an easy choice. The flowers were in full bloom and it was a lovely, wide open space. From there, I tasted endless food samples for the reception we were hosting afterwards. I meticulously chose every single decoration, to make sure the ambience was just right. I ordered not one, but three dress designers to design a custom dress for me. And then, with the help of every maid in the pack, we voted on the best one.I chose crystal blue silk – the exact color of Zara’s eyes with
