Rejected Chapter 128 - The Antidote
Queen Erin POV I stand there staring at my baby girl. My mate has his arms wrapped around me as I hold her hand. I could barely stand there looking at her. Knowing she had been out of our lives for so many years, to have her return only to watch her suffer unknowing if she will survive or not. I would give anything to trade spaces with her. To give her a chance at the happiness she had only just started to enjoy.The wolfsbane had been cleared from our bodies. We had received treatment quickly and there were no lasting implications for any of us. The only one’s affected right now was Elizabeth and her mate. Carter was in worse shape as he had gone longer without any intervention. We were waiting impatiently for the antidotes to arrive. They should be here any minute but until we received them it meant the pair would suffer longer. Not being able to breathe on their own, given the paralysis of their bodies. The shutting down of organs. Although they had wolves,
Rejected Chapter 129 - Destiny
Elizabeth POV I do not know how long I had been laying with Carter. My arms wrapped around him likely looked funny given our size comparisons, but I could not help wanting to be as close to him as possible. He also still had the breathing apparatus in him to keep him alive. I was small enough to fit around everything that was there. I was still feeling some effects of the paralysis, but my organs were healing faster now that the antidote had been delivered. I had heard from Ashley briefly letting me know she was okay. She could not reach Max and it was depressing her, so she retired to the back of my mind. I could still feel a connection with Carter. The doctor had tried to prepare me for the worst, but I refused to hear it. The doctor was trying to be reasonable, but I lost it on him. My parents ushered him out of the room and Stan and Kinsley quickly helped me to Carter’s bed before leaving me with my mate. The sound of the mach
Rejected Chapter 130 - Returning
Alpha Carter POV Frustration is all I feel. I cannot move. I can hear everything around me. I can feel the pain of the paralysis in my body. I can feel Elizabeth’s pain through our mate bond. I am terrified she will give up on me. That she will not realize I am still here. I know I am close. I cannot feel Max yet, but I know he would be fighting as hard as I am to come together so we can get back to our mate. I feel Elizabeth leave me. I miss her comfort but am happy her mother is visiting her. I can barely make out their discussion, but I am relieved Elizabeth is opening up to accepting her mother. She deserves that happiness. That sense of belonging and safety of a parent’s love. I feel groggy but come alert when her mother talks to her about her destiny. She is intended to be the Queen of this Kingdom. Of course. Why had it not occurred to me before this? They will want Elizabeth to stay and assume her role as Queen. But what wou
Rejected Chapter 131 - Trust the Antidote
Alpha Carter POV I try to breathe on my own, but the machines are in the way. I am able to relax when Elizabeth takes my hand and I know the doctors are on their way. I keep my eyes fixed on her eyes as I wait for the machine to be removed from my body. Finally, it is removed and I am able to breathe on my own. Those first few breathes are liberating. Like I am finally back. I see happy tears in Elizabeth’s eyes as I pull her into my arms. The fear I had of never being able to hold her in my arms has eased and I now know we will be okay. She pulls back, “How do you feel?” she asks me. I open my mouth and attempt to speak but nothing comes out. I am confused and Elizabeth quickly rushes to get me a cup of water. She places a straw at my lips. Yes, I am likely parched from the machines. I attempt again to speak but nothing happens. I try mind-linking her but still I am drawing a blank. I open my mouth again to speak as the doctor moves for
Rejected Chapter 132 - Tough Talk
Elizabeth POV I am struggling to remain calm but am worried as heck about Carter. While I was out of the room, the doctor approached me. He advised me it was highly unusual for the paralysis to linger, and he was concerned for the Alpha that he may not get his voice back. The next few hours would be crucial in making that determination. I did not know what that would mean for Carter. He could not run a Pack without a voice. And the inability to communicate by way of mind-link was making it worse. “Does it mean his wolf has been injured?” I ask the doctor. “It is possible. We will only know more as time progresses. Say a prayer to the Moon Goddess that she helps in this case,” he says as he went into the room to administer the drug to Carter. I am brought back to the moment when Carter waves his hand in front of my face. I am startled but then smile when I realize he is holding the note paper up for me to read. “We need to talk,” he says. I
Rejected Chapter 133 - Special Visitor
Elizabeth POV We both fell asleep quickly needing the rest from all that we had endured. I do not know how long we slept before I felt a presence beside me. An unknown male was standing there, and I tensed up uncertain what to expect. I look to Carter but see he is still asleep. I gently nudge him, but he does not wake up. I look back to the male and see he is looking at me as if studying me. “Who are you?” I ask quietly. “Your brother,” he replies. “My brother is in a coma,” I say. “I still am. Our parents told me about you, and I wanted to come see you for myself,” he replies softly. “You are beautiful,” he adds. “I do not understand,” I reply confused how he was standing in front of me. “I am stuck between worlds. Not dead and not entirely alive,” he says to me sounding frustrated. “How is that possible?” I ask him. “I do not know. It is something the uncle did. I believe there was a witch involved when I was injured,” he says.
Rejected Chapter 134 - Left Behind
Elizabeth POV My parents gasp as they see the male’s eyes open. My brother. His eyes stay open for a few moments before they slowly close again. My father runs out to call the doctor, as my mother moves forward to the other side of the bed, holding the male’s hand. “Eric, sweetheart, it is mom. Open your eyes,” she encourages him. Nothing. He remains still with no movement. His eyes do not open again. The doctor comes running in and quickly checks him over. He looks to all of us, “I am sorry; there is no change,” he says. “But his eyes just opened when Elizabeth touched him,” my father tells the doctor. “It must have been an involuntary reaction,” he explains as he notes nothing medical has changed. The doctor leaves us as my parents look on sadly wishing for a miracle. I clear my throat and tell them about the encounter I just had with Eric. “Why did you not tell us sooner?” my mother asks. “I wanted to be certain the male was in fact
Rejected Chapter 135 - Capable
Alpha Carter POV It crushed me leaving Elizabeth behind. Hearing her crying at my decision nearly broke me and my reserve. I knew it was the right thing to do. Leaving her to get to know her family and determine what she wanted for her future would be key to us moving forward. I did not want to stand in her way. I loved her enough to make the toughest decision I have ever had to make for both of us. My hope is after a couple weeks, she will have had a chance to get to know what would be expected of her. To determine if this is the life she would want. And then we would need to talk about how we make it work for both of us. I want to make things work but I just cannot leave my Pack behind. We walk out of the hospital and into the waiting SUV. “Are you sure you want to do this?” Stan asks me before we pull away from the curb. I look to the hospital and see Elizabeth standing in the doorway with her parents on either side of her. “No, but go
