Rejected Chapter 147 - Imposter
Miranda POV I feel myself move from my body and linger over Eric’s still form. I stare down looking for the starting point of the binding spell. It takes a lot of time not only to find the beginning but then to unravel without setting off anything made to deter me from being successful. All witches have fail safes within their spells to prevent others from breaking their spell. In this case I have been breaking spells since I was very young. Too young. I had been working with the Witches Council since my pre-teens. I had been, and still am, the youngest to have been recruited to work for the Council. I chuckle, I was not recruited – it was demanded of me by my mother who works with the Council to this day. She saw my talent and would not allow me to spend my youth having fun. I was working and missing out on a childhood. Regardless, it made me who I am today. Which is powerful. I continue to scrutinize the web in front of me. I finally
Rejected Chapter 148 - Someone Will Pay
Miranda POV I started working on breaking the spell two hours ago. I can feel Eric trying to help but in his current state he cannot move so he can’t see what I see. One wrong move and we would both be dead. It is painstakingly slow work. I have already taken multiple breaks using Rick to help me gain enough energy to continue on. This time I fall from Eric’s body and simply fall into Rick’s arms. “You need to take a break,” Rick murmurs as he holds onto me tightly. I nod, unable to respond. “I will see if we can get a cot brought in here. We do not have to leave Eric alone. You simply need to sleep,” he observes as he sets me down in the chair, kissing my forehead before he goes. Rick steps out of the room and I hear him call for Carter. I can hear them speaking softly but do not hear the words. I lean forward putting my hand on Eric’s. He quickly holds onto my hand, and I get the sense he is saying thank you. Part of his body has been
Rejected Chapter 149 - Let Me Go
Alpha Carter POV I walk into the hospital room looking at the imposter. I know Elizabeth is safe with her mother just outside the door. I look at the man in the bed and simply stare at him. He stares back. “What do you want?” he growls. I look at him and smirk. “I do not want anything from you, except the truth,” I reply as I pull a chair up beside his bed. Not too close. I cannot trust the man in front of me. “You think you deserve the truth?” he snarls. “No, I think Elizabeth and the Queen deserve the truth,” I respond calmly. “Everything was fine without you in the picture. When I am full capacity, you can bet I am coming for you first,” he says to me. “I welcome the opportunity,” I reply pissing him off even more. “I want to see the Queen,” the man says. “No,” I reply. “Who do you think you are to deny me? If I do not speak with her, I will have the King killed immediately,” he says. I look at him realizing he is telling the truth
Rejected Chapter 150 - Broken Spell
Elizabeth POV I look to the man in the bed and simply feel pain. The pain that I had thought I had met my father. Then I thought so terribly of the man because of his reactions. “Why?” I ask him. He looks at me as if just realizing I was in the room. “Why what?” he asks softly. “Why did you do all of this?” I ask. “It is not your time to know. Suffice it to say you were never meant to return home,” he says as if dismissing me. “What do you mean?” I ask confused. “Exactly what I said. You were never supposed to return. You were supposed to be dead by now,” he replies as I gasp at the hatred coming from him. “Why?” I ask. “Do you think this was all coincidence, Elizabeth? We all knew what you were. We needed you to be removed from the Kingdom. You had the potential at being the strongest ruler this Kingdom has ever experienced,” he spits out. “I now realize you are too weak to be that ruler,” he adds. “He made you weak,” he spits out l
Rejected Chapter 151 - Eric's Back
Eric POV I felt my eyes fly open. I could not believe it. She had done it. I was awake. Wait. I saw her collapsed into her mate’s arms. “Will she be alright?” I whisper having not used my voice for so long. The man was putting his mate into the bed across the room from me. “She will be,” he mutters before standing and looking at me. “How are you feeling?” the man asks me. “Well rested?” I reply with some self-deprecating humour. The man smiles, “My name is Rick,” he says before he moves towards me passing me a bottle of water. I take the bottle and sip at the water. “Where is everyone?” I ask confused that my mother or sister was not here. “I am going to go get them and find out where I can take Miranda to rest,” Rick says as he steps out of the room. I want to stand and be ready for when my family comes in, but I know my legs are not strong enough. I have so much to share with them, I am eager to share and do my best to protect th
Rejected Chapter 152 - Find the King
Alpha Carter POV The morning came way to quickly, but we had too much to do today to take our time getting up and moving. The primary goal was to find the real King and pray to the Moon Goddess he would survive whatever he had been through. Elizabeth came out of her walk-in closet dressed for the day. She sighed as she moved towards the sitting area and just sat down for a moment. I walked over sitting in front of her on the foot stool. I take her hands in mine, “What’s wrong?” I ask. She looks up at me with her beautiful pale blue eyes. “I was so intent on hating the man I thought was my father. Now I will have to learn to not feel that resentment towards him. I do not know how to do that,” she admits to me. I put her hands to my lips momentarily pausing before I replied. “I think when you met the imposter you knew he was not the real deal. That is why you have been so guarded with him,” I say to her. “I also know you have a hu
Rejected Chapter 153 - Remembering
Eric POV As I sit there trying hard to remember different things, I realize how compromised my memory is. I vaguely remember my uncle and cousin attacking me, but I do not remember a lot. Likely a blessing given how damaged I had been. I fear if there will be any long-term effects. I lay there while everyone tries not to stare at me. “Okay enough!” I say harshly to everyone. They look up startled, “I cannot have you staring or not staring but waiting for me to remember something,” I say to them as their faces all turn various shades of red. “Sorry son, we are just as anxious as you are,” my mother replies softly. I know this is killing her, but I cannot remember any faster. “Perhaps leave me alone?” I suggest to which everyone disagreed. “We are not leaving you alone. We still do not know who the ally is here. We cannot risk you being compromised again,” Elizabeth says as she stands by my bed. Everyone finally agrees to chat amon
Rejected Chapter 154 - Slow Going
Miranda POV My mother continues to unravel the first barrier as I simply stare at the mess in front of us. It was the signature of a powerful witch. A witch with psychopathic tendencies. She was strong. Her spells were as complicated as they could be. They wove into them little booby traps that would destroy anyone in its path. One wrong move and we would all be dead. “What?” Elizabeth asks. “This is not good,” I mutter as I move across from where we were standing to try and get a better look at what I was facing. “What?” Carter asks. I can sense their frustration building but I cannot take my eyes away from the masterpiece in front of me. If she was not so evil, she could have been an amazing asset to the Witches Council. “The spells. They are spells of an ancient witch. She is older than the warlock,” I share with them as I remain focused on the task ahead. There it is. I see the starting point straight ahead of me. I turn to look at
