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
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
