Rejected Chapter 141 - Breaking the Bond
Elizabeth POV After a long night of just the two of us, we enjoyed supper and breakfast in bed. Just now deciding it was time to get moving and start the day even though it was almost noon. Carter and I had reconnected on every level, and it felt good to be home. That is what Carter was to me. Home. Before we leave the room Carter takes me into his arms, “Now you know whatever happens, I love you right?” he asks me. I look at him confused, “What do you mean?” I reply. “Nothing. I just always want you to know I love you and that I have your best interests at heart,” he says. “I do not like where this is heading,” I reply trying to disengage from his arms. He holds me tighter, not wanting to let go. “What have you already decided?” I demand of him. He shakes his head, “Nothing. I just want you to listen with an open mind,” he replies as he releases me, quickly taking my hand and leading me out of my room. I have a bad feeling a
Rejected Chapter 142 - The Key
Alpha Carter POV Elizabeth jumps to her feet, screaming at her father. “What the hell are you talking about? You promised I would not have to give Carter up. You swore you understood what a mate bond meant to me,” she says as she starts to walk towards the door. “Where are you going?” the King bellows at his daughter. “As far away from you as possible,” she replies as she walks out the door slamming it shut behind her. “What the hell are you playing at, Ethan?” Queen Erin demands of her mate. “I am not playing at anything, Erin. You know damn well that this Kingdom is at risk. We need her to be focused on the task at hand,” he replies to his mate angrily. “Not this way. We never agreed that she would have to give up her mate,” the Queen says to her mate. “I will not do it,” I reply to them both. The Queen looks to me with respect in her eyes. “I cannot break the bond with Elizabeth. I will not break the bond,” I say to them both. The Ki
Rejected Chapter 143 - Witches Council
Elizabeth POV “Do you know any witches, Carter?” I murmur as I stare at my brother. He laughs out loud, “What?” not clear where I am going. I explain to him what has happened so far, and he looks at me surprised. “Your father has not been able to get someone here yet?” he questions. I nod, “Odd right?” I ask. “Very,” he replies before adding, “Give me a few minutes and I will make a call,” he says as he stands to make that call. I continue to look at my brother and I realize I can see his eyelids moving. As if he is watching a movie. “I wish you would visit me again. I need your advice,” I say to him as I watch his movements. Carter finishes his call but before he can tell me anything the door to Eric’s room opens and my father walks in with my mother close on his heels. “I owe you both an apology,” my father starts to say before I cut him off. “Your words mean very little to me at this point,” I say to him moving closer to Carter. Carter
Rejected Chapter 144 - Meeting Miranda
Elizabeth POV After our walk we head inside to get an early supper. We are expecting the witch the Council is sending in a couple of hours. Her name is Miranda. The Witch would be accompanied by her mate. I could appreciate why. It is risky coming into unknown territory particularly when spells are involved. I did not know a lot about witches, but I expected to learn a lot in the coming hours. My parents joined us for supper. It was a quiet meal. My father saying nothing and my mother offering very little to the conversation. Carter and I mostly spoke of what had been happening at the Crescent Moon Pack. He shared some funny stories that his Gamma had to deal with in our absence. And of course, we all talked about the rogue situation. “How do they not know where you are?” I ask Carter. “I took an alternate route when I left the Pack. Anyone following me was lost along the way,” he shares with us. “Well let’s hope you did not give up my
Rejected Chapter 145 - Answers
Elizabeth POV The tension as we made our way towards the hospital was becoming suffocating. As much as we were in the open, my father’s aura was impacting us. I could feel it. The only one who seemed unbothered was Miranda. She maintained her cool, while my mother looked to my father confused by his behaviour. “So, tell me about Eric,” Miranda says as we approach the hospital entrance. “He was always an inquisitive little boy. Loved everything and everyone,” my mother beams. “He is very artistic,” my mother adds. I hear my father scoff. When I look at him, he looks away from me not wanting to be heard. “He sounds like a lovely young man,” Miranda says as we come to the doors of the hospital. “Hmmm,” Miranda says as she approaches the doors. “It seems there is already some spell casting at the doors of the hospital. That is peculiar,” she murmurs as she moves closer like she is examining something. She reaches out to touch some
Rejected Chapter 146 - Binding Spell
Elizabeth POV I watch as my father’s conflicted emotions fight to come through. He knows too many are watching and Miranda’s mate is a force to be reckoned with. Not that my father was without power, but with Miranda’s powers as well it would be difficult to fight them both. He stands taller, “Of course I want to know what is affecting my son. What a ridiculous question,” he replies trying to belittle Miranda. She is unbothered by his comment and moves back into the room. “We are going to remove the spell tonight,” she says as she moves to stand in front of Eric. “Tonight?” my father questions, “Why tonight?” he adds. “I believe evil is involved in this situation. Someone does not want Eric to wake … ever,” she says shocking everyone. “Why?” I ask confused. “That is a question for the person responsible to answer,” Miranda replies saddened by the situation. “For now, I will need space. You can wait in the hall, or you can go back to your r
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
