Rejected Chapter 14 - Threats
Alpha Carter POV I could not believe my eyes when I saw the lash marks scarring my mate’s back. I knew Matt had got a couple whips in before I could stop him, but I had never realized her back was covered in scars from years of abuse. Those whippings had to have been done with silver to leave the scars. In her physical state, her wolf would struggle to heal her as well. When a wolf has been deprived of food and rest, their wolf can only help heal so much. And in this case, I believe her wolf did, and continues to do, as much as she can for Elizabeth. I was devastated that I had not gotten to her sooner. That she had been hurt at all was eating at my insides. I realize the agitation I had been feeling was her fear and upset. Even though we had not marked one another yet, I could feel her emotions. I had not expected that and was angry at myself for not realizing sooner that she was in trouble. As we get back into her hospital room
Rejected Chapter 15 - Waking Up
Elizabeth POV I awaken lying on my stomach. I tense as I try to take in my surroundings. I do not move as I do not want to draw attention to myself. My body hurts but not as bad as usual. I try to recall everything that happened. I cringe as I realize I had been punished once again. But the wounds are not as severe. As I try to remember what happened, I realize I am not on my makeshift bed at the Pack house. The bed I am lying on is soft and warm. Carter. What happened to Carter? I remember his wolf coming in to attack Alpha Matt. Was he alright? Did he get punished for attacking another Alpha? I could feel my body tense as someone put their hand on my shoulder. I immediately felt sparks coursing through my body and realized it was my mate. He was here. Wherever I was, we were together. I slowly lift my head and turn to look in the direction of where Carter is standing. I look at him through the mess of hair that is covering my face
Rejected Chapter 16 - Getting Closer
Elizabeth POVMy eyes go as wide as saucers, “Hell no,” I mutter as I look away from him. He has removed his jeans standing in front of me in his black boxers. “Hell yes, mate,” he says as he steps forward. “I am not going to leave you alone. I promise it will just be to help you shower, nothing more,” he says as he pulls me into his arms.I am shaking at the thoughts. The sparks bouncing between us are working in calming me. “I am not ready,” I whisper to Carter. “Not ready to have a shower?” he teases. I look at him with tears in my eyes, “Not ready for anything else,” I admit.“I am not asking for anything, Elizabeth. Simply to help you wash your hair and get safely back in bed. I have ordered some food, which will be here by the time we finish in the shower,” he says softly as he reaches around to untie the shirt I am wearing.I step back, “I do not want you to see my body,” I say to him frantic to get away from him. He puts his hands on my shoulders waiting for me to lo
Rejected Chapter 17 - Tour of the Packhouse
Alpha Carter POV My mate moving willingly into my arms catches me off guard. I take advantage of the moment holding her. I need to feel her close to me, it calms both Max, my wolf, and me. We were still devastated she had been hurt under our watch. It made us more committed to protecting her than we had naturally been. I had not advised the Elders that I had found my mate yet. I knew they would push for me to make an announcement sooner than later. I knew Elizabeth would not be ready for any announcements nor taking over as Luna anytime soon. She would need time to adjust to her new environment. Adjust to being in a place she could feel safe and loved. I paused at that … love. It was true, I was falling crazy in love with my mate. I did not know how or what she would feel, but I knew for me I was all in. It made me crazy knowing I had been uncertain of wanting a mate to knowing how strongly I felt about my mate now that she was here.
Rejected Chapter 18 - Intentions
Elizabeth POV I do not know who this woman is, but she is demanding answers of me, and I do not know what she is asking. I wait for Carter to explain. He takes my arm, “I suggest we take this conversation to a more private area,” he says tersely as he guides me towards his office. I walk in and I can smell his scent everywhere. It calms me even more than simply being in his presence. He moves to help me sit in a chair in front of his desk and then pulls the other chair closer to me sitting beside me holding my hand. As everyone takes spots around the room, I see the woman looking at me waiting for answers. I am confused with her anger. Was she angry at me? I do not even know who she is. “Who are you?” I ask surprising everyone. I could not stand her stare any longer.Carter draws my attention, “This is the female Pack doctor we brought with us, Tamara,” he shares with me. I look at him and then back at her. I have a bad feeling about her, but Tamara shifts gear
Rejected Chapter 19 - The Lake
Elizabeth POV I could not believe how big this Pack was compared to my old Pack. The people I met along the way were curious, but respectful. Kinsley was learning her way as well. Many knew she was the Beta Female. I appreciated her not introducing me as the Luna. I was not ready for that. I had so much to work through … would I ever be ready? Kinsley took me to a beautiful garden out a side set of doors. It had been well cared for and had a sitting bench in the middle. From this vantage point the person sitting at the bench could take in all the garden had to offer. It had a calming presence to it. I had no idea why, but I could see myself sitting here and enjoying this space often. “Elizabeth,” Tamara says drawing out of my private thoughts. I look to her waiting for her to speak, “I am wondering if you need any advice on when to get personal with the Alpha,” she says to my shock. I take a swift intake of breath as Kinsley looks at her
Rejected Chapter 20 - What happened?
Alpha Carter POV As we sit and go over the situation with the rogues, my mind wanders to Elizabeth. I wonder how she is making out with Kinsley. I had not heard from them, so I figured things were going well. I was grateful Kinsley was here. She would help Elizabeth adjust. Hopefully sooner than later. I had a message from one of my Elder’s demanding my attention to the serious matter of choosing a mate. I had not advised them that I had found my mate yet, but I would have to do so soon, to calm them from demanding I select a chosen mate. I turn my attention back to Stan and realize he has asked me a question. “I am sorry, what?” I ask him as he smiles at me. “Thinking about your mate?” he teases me. Shaking my head, “How can I not think about her? She is perfect and I want to be the best I can be for her,” I reply. “You are the best thing for her. I can see how she is already starting to come out of her shell,” he tells me to
Rejected Chapter 21 - Chances
Kinsley POV “Alpha, I am sorry. I heard Elizabeth say she could not swim, but then she was in the water. I did not see her fall in,” I admit. I knew it was my responsibility to protect my Luna, but it was proving difficult. Looking to Tamara, “You were closer than I was. What happened?” I ask her pointedly. Tamara looks at me and I see a spark of anger in her eyes, before she turns to the Alpha, “I did not hear her say she could not swim Alpha. She stepped backwards and fell in. I rescued her as quickly as I could,” she says with a tear in her eye. “She is lying!” I say belligerently. “Excuse me?” Tamara replies coldly. “You could not see, remember?” she says to me coldly. “I jumped into the water and rescued the Luna as you stood there doing nothing,” I say to everyone in the room. Stan moves closer to me, as Tamara looks at me sadly. “I realize you were supposed to protect the Luna, but taking credit for my efforts seems a little beneath you, don’
