Alpha Carter POV I woke slowly with the feeling of sparks against my chest. I pulled the sparks closer to me, realizing that at some point in the night Elizabeth had naturally gravitated towards my body. I could tell from her breathing she was in a deep sleep, and I was reluctant to wake her. This morning was my turn to lead the training sessions. I had been away for a few days getting everything straightened out with Elizabeth, and I was feeling the burden of ensuring my Pack trusted that I was present for them. I gently removed her arm from around my waist, but she moved back whimpering at being moved. Her hand travelled across my chest and down towards the waistband of my shorts. I quickly grabbed her hand stopping her in her tracks. I was already sporting morning excitement; her touch would be more painful to endure. With my mate so close, it was hard to not mark and mate her. I needed to be patient, but I did not know how long I could ho
Elizabeth POV I could not believe it. Carter had betrayed me. He talked to Tamara before talking to me. She was not a psychologist. She would not know how to help me. It hurt me immensely that Carter had betrayed me. I turned the shower on and quickly went through my routine. As I got out and dried my body off, I realized I had forgotten to bring any clothes in with me. Wrapping the towel tightly around my body, I unlock the door and walk out of the room and head towards the closet. Before I can get there, Carter latches onto my wrist pulling me back to him. “Not so fast, sweet mate,” he says before his lips capture mine. He softly kisses me, before stepping back slightly. “Good morning,” he says as he holds his arms loosely around my body. I try to push him away, but he is not budging. “Let me go,” I reply as he shakes his head no. “Not until we finish this conversation,” he says as he steps back pulling me towards the bed. He sits me
Alpha Carter POV That was a tough discussion I had with Elizabeth. I could not share everything with her. The reality is if I take another as my Luna, then Elizabeth will inevitably become a mate to have pups with. No matter what I do to make her my priority, I would be expected to take the chosen Luna to events, subsequently moving Elizabeth to nothing in the Pack’s eyes. I could not let that happen. She needed to get stronger. I would do all within my power to make that happen. I finish in the washroom and wrap a towel around my hips. I need to get dressed and discuss Alpha Matt and the plans to charge them as a Pack with Elizabeth. Walking out of the bathroom, I see Elizabeth is ready to go. “Are you hungry this morning, sweet mate?” I ask her hoping her appetite is growing. “A little,” she replies deep in thought. I quickly get dressed and walk out to give her a hug and another kiss. She quickly opens her mouth to me, and I deepen our
Elizabeth POV The interview had been gruelling. We spent hours discussing everything that had happened since I had been taken into the Pack house. I could tell Carter and his wolf were very upset, but I ignored them trying to get the Council members to finish the interview. As they were wrapping up, they asked if I had any pictures of the abuse. I looked at them in shock, as Carter growled. “I only have scars,” I reply quietly. “Why would you ask that?” Carter demands from the chair beside me. Our knees were touching, and he held my hand the entire time. This brought me comfort during the tough discussion. “Please understand Alpha, we are only looking for additional evidence to use in our case against the Red Woods Pack,” the Council member leading the investigation replied. “You have us as having witnessed the abuse when she was being whipped,” he says angrily. “You have the Elders having witnessed the abuse as well; is that not enough?” he
Alpha Carter POV Before I knew it, suppertime had arrived. I could tell with Elizabeth; her nerves were starting to get the better of her. I wanted to introduce her at the beginning of the meal so that she would hopefully be okay to eat afterwards. She was pacing in our suite, while I finished changing into black slacks and a grey dress shirt. Cuffing the sleeves up my arms, she turns to look at me. She is wearing a black sleeveless shift dress with a black sweater over it. She looks perfect and I cannot wait to kiss her lips when she puts up her hand stopping me from moving. “I just got this lip gloss on. You are not ruining it,” she murmurs as she continues to pace. I chuckle taking her into my arms. Her back is against my chest, and I nuzzle her marking spot. I hear her gasp, as I inhale her amazing scent. She leans into me rubbing her hands over my arms. “You are perfect, and everything will be perfect tonight,” I promise he
Elizabeth POV I was sure I was glowing; I had been overwhelmed with the response to Carter announcing me as his mate. Many had come over to welcome me to the Pack, which surprised me. Going from an Omega slave to being treated like a human being was difficult for me to comprehend. I still had my reservations, but for today, I was going to embrace this new day. After supper, we hung out in the lounge with Stan and Kinsley. Tamara had been invited but she excused herself quickly, wanting to get back to her patients. We decided to watch a movie. They had been shocked, initially, that I had limited knowledge of what movies were. I vaguely remember watching them with my parents when I was younger, but these past years had been about being abused, cleaning, cooking and being abused some more. I did not want to cause any upset, so I suggested Kinsley pick out something she thought I would like. It was a romantic comedy. The guys groaned at having t
Elizabeth POV Carter’s hand continues to roam down my flat stomach. He lifts my leg out of the water and rests it on the edge of the tub. I cannot understand why until he moves the cloth intimately between my legs. I tense up, “Relax, sweet mate,” Carter murmurs as he continues to wash me. He is gentle, focusing on cleaning the entire area. Before I realize it, it is only Carter’s fingers on me. The cloth is floating away. He is exploring my most personal area and all I can do is gasp for air. I know I am feeling so many emotions. I do not know what is normal, but I am feeling very warm. “Do you like that, little mate?” he asks me. I open my legs a little wider, moaning, “Yes, I want more,” I reply. He is satisfied with the response as his hand slowly leaves my body. He begins to rinse the soap off me before giving himself a quick wash. I want to help him, but he shakes his head, “This is about you, sweetheart,” he says with a smile.
For those who may have read Chapter 29 already, you do not need to reload - nothing changed in the chapter. Just a system glitch. Chapters 30 and 31 are ready to be uploaded - I should be able to upload tomorrow morning. I do not want the chapters to get messed up. Nor do I want you to pay for a Chapter you already purchased. Hope you are enjoying the story so far. There are still lots of questions to be answered and bumps in the road, before Elizabeth can find her happily ever after. Hope you are enjoying Rejected so far. Ellie xo
