All Chapters of Rejecting the Prince's Mate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Julia POV “Can you at least promise you will stay behind with Eric?” Jackson pleaded with me. I looked out the window as we drove through the darkening streets, “Nope,” I replied. I heard Eric’s growl, but I ignored it. I turned to look at them both, “We know I am a strong wolf. You need me out there,” I said to them both. “We do not know what we are dealing with,” Eric said. “Well, we will figure it out when we arrive,” I suggested, feeling his frustration. “They have been able to capture Cami. We do not know what we are dealing with. As a witch, she has powers that we do not have. And she has not been able to use them to save herself,” Jackson said to me angrily. I knew he was not angry with me. He is angry at the situation. “She will be fine,” I mumbled, needing them to agree with me. “She will be fine. We will get her back, and then we will deal with whoever is after you,” Eric agreed. I looked to him, and nodded, “

Julia POV Jackson was pacing the room, as I sat with Eric holding my hand. He was drawing designs on the back of my hand, and it was calming me to know he was here with me. Jackson had told us what he knew, which was not a lot. But we did know that once Cami was out of surgery, the doctor would come and speak with us. “This is too much,” I said as both men looked to me. “What do you mean?” Eric asked. “Cami has been seriously hurt twice in less than a week. Because of me,” I said. “It is not your fault,” Eric said, with Jackson agreeing. “Whoever these people are, they want you, Julia. It is critical that we all protect you,” Jackson added. “Cami was trained for this. She knows the risks and has not hesitated in protecting you. Do not let her down, by giving up,” Jackson stated. Before I could reply, the door to our private room opened and a doctor stepped inside. He looked at Jackson, before looking at us.

Julia POV I watched my friend in pain, trying to fight her demons. Suddenly Cami gasped and sat up in the bed, “Stop!” she yelled, with Jackson pulling her into his arms. She was gasping for breath, until she opened her eyes and realized she was in Jackson’s arms. Tears filled her eyes as she looked to him, and then looked over to me. “You are safe,” she whispered, looking at me, as Jackson continued to hold her in his arms. “I am safe,” I replied, stepping forward to touch her arm. She reached her hand out and clasped onto my hand. “They want you, Julia. You are the key,” Cami shared with us. “The key to what?” Eric asked, stepping forward. “He never said. He kept asking me where you were and had you come into your powers yet,” Cami shared with us softly. “I did not tell him anything,” she swore to us. “I know you did not, sweetheart,” Jackson said to her. He drew her attention, and she moved forward resting her head on

Eric POV We spent the rest of the night in each other’s arms. Exploring and getting to know one another. I could not have imagined having a mate would be so amazing, and terrifying at the same time. Terrifying that I had been so close to not having this as a result of my own idiocy. Fortunately, the Moon Goddess … and perhaps Elizabeth … smartened me up before I lost out on this amazing woman. “I do not know what I am looking for,” Julia growled. We had been searching through books this morning trying to learn more about the Guardian Wolf. Because they were so rare, there was not a lot of information in our history books about them. There had to be more data, and I figured my next step would be to bring our historian and have them conduct some more searches on the internet. Wolves have a separate internet we search, kept hidden from the public. Similar to the deep dark web, but on another level. Anyone tripping on it will i

Jackson POV We had discussed everything with Eric and Julia for a couple hours. I finally took an exhausted Cami back home to my house. Much to the anger of both Cami and Julia. Julia wanted Cami to stay with her, Cami wanted to stay with Julia or go home, to which we all agreed that was not happening. And now finally she was in my arms as I carried her into my home. She was fast asleep and all I wanted to do was get her into bed, give her some pain killers and let her sleep for a while. There would be time to talk later. As I made it to my bedroom, Cami stirred in her sleep. “Are you planning on taking advantage of me?” she asked me with a yawn. “Is that an option?” I asked, teasing her. She smiled up at me, “I have a feeling with you it will always be an option,” she replied leaning into my neck and kissing me. I felt the sparks bounce between us. They were more intense than I had ever expected they wou
