Eric POV

Lincoln was up to something. What I did not know, but it was something. As I lay there considering everything, with Julia snuggled in my arms, I hear an alarm through the palace mind-link. โ€œRogues! Rogue attack happening at the main border!!!โ€ came through in a panic.

We never had rogue attacks. In fact, we often raided rogue hideouts to ensure we did not have any situations to take care of. I jumped up, with Julia looking at me startled. โ€œWhat is happening?โ€ she asked sleepily. โ€œRogues; I want you to stay with your guards until we are certain you are safe,โ€ I said to her as I threw on a pair of basketball shorts.

Julia moved out of the bed, โ€œNo,โ€ she replied as she grabbed a t-shirt of mine and threw it over her naked body. โ€œJulia,โ€ I started to say when she cut me off. โ€œYou will be too distracted worrying about me, if you leave me behind. I am going with youโ€ she said with finality.

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mateย ย ย Chapter 87 - Gone

    Julia POV As we shifted and raced back home, I considered how I was going to handle Lincoln. He needed to go; I simply did not know if he would go peacefully. Did it matter, I thought to myself. Eric stuck close to me, offering me his warmth to help deal with the anger I felt. I was furious that so many lives had been risked tonight and for what? As we arrived at the clearing, we both shifted and put our clothes on. Eric turned to me, โ€œWhatever happens, you have my support,โ€ he stated. โ€œI appreciate that; there is only one solution,โ€ I replied as we walked towards the house. โ€œMake the right decision for you. You have much to learn, still,โ€ he reminded me. โ€œThere must be other ways to learn,โ€ I replied as we walked into the open door of the house. As we walked in, it was eerily silent. Eric nudged me behind him. I rolled my eyes but allowed my man to take the lead as I listened intently for any movement. There was nothi

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mateย ย ย Chapter 88 - Left Behind

    Julia POV We came downstairs the next morning to find Laura sobbing in the sitting room. I looked around to see if anyone had brought her anything for breakfast. Walking towards her, I asked, โ€œHave you eaten?โ€. She looked up at me with her wet cheeks and bloodshot eyes and spit out, โ€œIt is because of you he left!โ€. โ€œHe tried to have Eric killed last night. If he had not left on his own, I was going to kick him out. The only unfortunate part is he did not take you with him,โ€ I replied calmly. โ€œJulia,โ€ Eric started to say but I held my hand up. โ€œI do not know who you are, but my mother never pined away for a man in her life. It is like by saving you, you lost a piece of yourself,โ€ I told her. She looked at me and wiped her cheeks, โ€œI need to leave. I need to find him,โ€ she murmured. โ€œDo you know how to find him?โ€ I asked, as we still wanted to get him back. โ€œI think I could find my way,โ€ she mumbled, as she stood and moved

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mateย ย ย Chapter 89 - Surprise Protection

    Julia POV We sat with that information for a few hours, as I went about developing a new training program. I knew what I needed to work on, and I was able to put together the new pieces and incorporate them into the overall plan. Cami would be arriving shortly to help include some of her powers in the training. She was a strong witch on her own, and I knew her witchery would help strengthen me. I rested my hand on my growing baby bump. It seemed like overnight my belly had started to grow. I knew I was having twins, and they would arrive sooner than a normal pregnancy. I was still struggling to wrap my head around it all. โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong?โ€ Eric asked, as he walked into his office. I looked up at him positive the love for him was shining through my eyes. โ€œNothing, I was just thinking how crazy it is that these babies will be here before we know it,โ€ I replied. He came around and put his much larger hands over mine, protecting

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mateย ย ย Chapter 90 - Is It Possible?

    Cami POV My heart was in my throat. One million dollars. I did not have a million dollars. And then suddenly Jackson states that he will pay the one million dollars. I heard the snap of the manโ€™s arm, as Jackson shoved him away. He fell to the ground, and I simply stood watching my mate in awe. I had no idea how it could happen, but he just saved Louise from a very definite death. And the loss of our baby girl. I knew it was not logical, but I felt a deep connection to this unborn child. Something I had no idea I would have ever wanted, was now something so critical to me as breathing. I felt I would lose a part of me, if I were to lose the baby. Jackson moved towards me, and I moved quickly into his arms, wrapping my arms around his waist. I could not hold back the tears that had escaped my eyes. โ€œI got you,โ€ he murmured to me softly as we stood there for a moment while Louiseโ€™s father screamed for assistance with his ar

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mateย ย ย Chapter 91 - Lost

    Eric POV I immediately called a meeting with our top trackers. While the room Laura and Lincoln had shared had been cleaned of any scent, I still needed to figure out where he was holed up. Had this been his hiding place all this time? And if it was, why take the fight away from here? I had a lot of questions, but the first was where the hell was he? โ€œI need you to search the territory. Anything that looks even remotely like a hide-away, notify me immediately. I want to be there when the area is searched,โ€ I tell them. โ€œWhat are we searching for, Prince Eric?โ€ one of the trackers asked. โ€œA man โ€“ his name is Lincoln and a woman โ€“ her name is Laura. They are believed to be on the property. We do not want them harmed. We simply want to bring them in, as soon as possible. It is for their own safety,โ€ I shared. I was telling a bit of a white lie, but I would not compromise my mate. The fewer people who knew she was a Guardia

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mateย ย ย Chapter 92 - Healing

    Julia POV I had felt myself sucked in by some invisible force but was grateful that Eric had recognized it and used his own power to pull me back. I felt nauseous thinking about what could have happened. I whipped around and glared at Lincoln, โ€œHow dare you!โ€ I yelled. Lincoln looked back at me with a smirk. โ€œTake your mother home, now,โ€ Lincoln demanded. โ€œHow long have you been living here?โ€ Eric asked. Lincoln just laughed, โ€œThere is so much that happens within this territory. You are all so naรฏve,โ€ he replied. โ€œGuards, take him into custody,โ€ Eric commanded. The guards started to move forward, but Lincoln held up his arm. โ€œDo not come any closer,โ€ he stated. The guards continued towards him, and he yelled again, โ€œDo not come any closer!โ€ he yelled. The guards continued, almost reaching him when Laura started to laugh. โ€œShe left you!โ€ she cried out, as she continued to laugh uncontrollably. โ€œWho left

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mateย ย ย Chapter 93 - Bigger Issue

    Eric POV I paused for a moment, as I considered what Julia had said. โ€œIf he is the father, that would explain him lingering. But what about his interest in our pups?โ€ I asked. Julia considered my question, โ€œOne way to find out. Letโ€™s ask him,โ€ she suggested. I nodded, โ€œFirst we need to check in on Laura,โ€ I suggested. We quickly shifted and took off towards the palace. Everything had gone into lockdown when it was determined there were potential threats on the property. Elizabeth would have been taken to a private area, to ensure her protection. Carter would be close by, ensuring her and their pups were safe. We reached the tree line and shifted once again, grabbing clothes that were waiting for us. I led the way to the hospital, as Julia remained silent. โ€œWhat are you thinking about?โ€ I asked, taking her hand. It was chilled, which was rare for a wolf to be cold. We typically ran hot. โ€œWhat would it m

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mateย ย ย Chapter 94 - Strongest Desire

    Julia POV We waited for hours, with no news. I was getting more uncomfortable as the minutes ticked by. What did it mean? I shut my eyes briefly, and felt Eric nudge me gently. โ€œWake up, sweetheart,โ€ he whispered. I nuzzled into his neck, not wanting to wake until he nudged me again, โ€œThe doctor is here,โ€ he murmured. That got my attention, and I woke up quickly to see everyone looking at me. Cami with a smirk, the doctor with a gentle smile. โ€œPrince Eric, we have finally managed to stabilize the woman brought in earlier,โ€ the doctor offered. โ€œWhat took so long?โ€ I asked, standing up. โ€œThere was a fast-acting poison in her blood stream. Every time we cleared one area, it had already travelled to another,โ€ she summarized. โ€œSo, she is going to be fine?โ€ I asked. โ€œTo be honest, we do not know. She is currently in a coma, and we do not know when she will come out of that coma,โ€ the doctor shared. โ€œCanโ€™t yo

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mateย ย ย Chapter 120 - Epilogue

    Julia POV It had been six months since we had got rid of Henrietta for good. Martha had become a staple in our lives. She never tried to take over being anything more than an aunt to Beatrix. Cami had her baby boy. Jackson and she were in love of their little boy, and Beatrix was loving being an older sister. They named him Alex, a strong name for a strong boy. Layla was in love with Ethan and Lucas was his best friend. The four babies loved each other and were constantly searching for the others. โ€œLife is blissful,โ€ I murmured as we watched our babies. Eric was at work, Jackson as well and the two of us were on baby duty. I had started some online courses to work towards my social worker degree. I loved the courses, and found the right balance between the babies, Eric and my studies. As always, Eric was incredibly supportive of what I did. We were living a life of peace and quiet these days. But we wer

    Julia POV My sobs quickly diminish as I realize that Martha is standing in our home. โ€œHow did you get here?โ€ I demanded quickly. I stood, tense, in front of her, as Cami moved to stand beside me. She had given Beatrix to Jackson. Both men were tense by our sides, as we waited for her to speak. โ€œI managed to escape,โ€ she replied quickly. โ€œHow could you escape so easily, after having been contained?โ€ Cami asked. โ€œI do not know. One minute I was contained, and the next I was able to escape,โ€ she said, sounding somewhat confused, before adding, โ€œAnd then I was here.โ€. โ€œThat sounds too coincidental,โ€ I stated. I moved forward, expecting her to disappear in front of me. โ€œJulia,โ€ Eric cautioned, but it would not stop me from moving forward. โ€œHow do we know you are not another version of Henrietta?โ€ I asked softly. โ€œYou do not know. Call in the Witches Council. They will be able to verify who I am,โ€ Martha replied calmly.

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mateย ย ย Chapter 118 - Gone for Good?

    Julia POV I stood there holding the doors closed, as Cami came to stand beside me. โ€œCareful ladies, you do not want to hurt the little one,โ€ Henrietta cautioned. โ€œYou would hurt your own child?โ€ Cami asked, disgusted. โ€œOf course not, but you might do so in your haste,โ€ she replied. My eyes scanned the room. I saw Eric and Jackson were moving to either side of Henrietta. โ€œStop right there, or I will kill her,โ€ Henrietta spat out. Everyone stopped moving, as I glanced back to ensure my babies were safe. They continued to sleep, which I prayed they would do until this was over. โ€œYou are all going to step back and let me leave with my daughter,โ€ Henrietta said. Cami gasped, as Jackson stepped forward, โ€œNot a chance, bitch.โ€. โ€œIs that any kind of language to use around an impressionable mind?โ€ she taunted. โ€œComing from someone like you, that is rich,โ€ I said, as I continued to watch her movements. She was gett

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mateย ย ย Chapter 117 - So Be It

    Julia POV โ€œWhat the hell does that mean?โ€ Jackson asked. We all sat there considering the words. โ€œIt could be the sister asking for help,โ€ I suggested. โ€œIt could also be a ploy to trap us,โ€ Eric said. Both were valid reasons given who we were working with. โ€œWhat do we know about the sister?โ€ I asked. โ€œWe do not know a lot. Just that she is Henriettaโ€™s twin, she is powerful, like Henrietta,โ€ Cami shared. โ€œWas she ever considered the good witch?โ€ Jackson asked. โ€œI do not know if either would be considered a good witch,โ€ she admitted, frowning. โ€œI will contact the Witches Council,โ€ Cami said as she stood and pulled out her phone. โ€œWait. What if this person does need help, will the Witches Council want to help? Or will they want to trap her and harm her?โ€ Jackson asked. โ€œCould it be the Witches Council who has her?โ€ Eric added. Cami was looking between both men, when she threw up her hands, โ€œI have no idea!โ€.

  • Rejecting the Prince's Mateย ย ย Chapter 116 - Help

    Julia POV Morning and all its delicious busyness came quickly. The twins were up early, waiting to be fed. We were fortunate they were quickly adapting to a reasonable schedule. One I knew was not the norm for newborn babies. I enjoyed my time feeding my babies, while Eric got them cleaned up. โ€œWe make a great team,โ€ Eric smiled, as we put the twins in their car seats. They were perfect when we wanted to transport them, and when we got downstairs so they could stay in them until we had their mat out so they could crawl around and make all the fun noises babies made. Cami and Jackson were coming over this morning. Cami had found something out in her research, that she wanted to share as soon as possible. She wanted to come last night, but Jackson put his foot down, indicating they had other things to do first. I suspect it was a celebration, and chuckled at how annoyed Cami would be to be stopped when on a mission.

    Cami POV โ€œHow do you know who I am?โ€ I asked, uncertain of what to say. โ€œIt is my job to know who is inquiring about me,โ€ the individual responded. โ€œWhere are you?โ€ I asked, wanting to get to my questions. โ€œDo you think it would benefit me to share that information?โ€ the individual responded. I paused. They were right. If I had the right person, who was in hiding, why would they try to help me? โ€œWhy are you hiding?โ€ I asked. โ€œSeriously? That is the question you want to ask me?โ€ they taunted. I felt like I was on a time clock, and I did not know the skill testing question. โ€œWhy is your sister so mean?โ€ I asked bluntly. I did not know if I was, in fact, talking to Martha, but it was worth a shot. I saw a smiley face with tears come across my screen. Are you kidding me?!? โ€œShe was born that way,โ€ the individual responded. โ€œSo, you are her sister?โ€ I tried to confirm. โ€œI am someone very close to her,โ€ the

    Julia POV I looked at Laura, concerned with her reaction. Aside from the reality that it was rude, it was also odd that she would be so bothered. She had not given any indication she was this bothered before. In fact, she seemed to understand why Lincoln was being held in the dungeons. โ€œI am sorry Laura, but he poses too big a risk for us to release him,โ€ Elizabeth replied. โ€œJulia and Eric will assume responsibility for him. They will ensure he does not harm anybody,โ€ Laura said. My body tensed at what she was suggesting. Before I could even respond, Eric said, โ€œAbsolutely not. There are children to consider, Laura, and I am not prepared to put them at risk given what his intentions have been.โ€. Laura let out a soft growl, reminding us all that she had a dormant wolf inside of her. โ€œJulia?โ€ she asked, looking to me for some support. I shook my head, โ€œI am sorry Laura, but I agree with Eric,โ€ I stated. She looked at me an

    Julia POV I watched my mother frown as she nodded her understanding of needing to wait for Elizabeth to make the decision. I was surprised she had started on this again, even with Henrietta gone. โ€œCan I take the babies for a walk?โ€ Laura asked. I looked at Eric and then to her, โ€œI think it is too soon to be taking them out on walks,โ€ I said to her. I saw the look of anger cross her face, before disappointment took its place. โ€œWhat is going on, Laura?โ€ I asked, confused with her behaviour. โ€œI want to feel useful. I am doing nothing to help,โ€ she replied. โ€œThere will be plenty of time to help with the babies. Right now, they are far to young to be away from me and Eric,โ€ I shared with her. I knew what I was saying was silly. Of course they could be away from me, but Eric and I had discussed how we wanted this time to bond with our babies. โ€œYou do not trust me, do you?โ€ Laura asked angrily. I looked at her in surprise, โ€œTr

    Eric POV We had an amazing few days with just us and the babies. They were adjusting to a normal routine so quickly; we could not have been more blessed. โ€œI think Layla is already showing signs of being a Guardian,โ€ Julia said to me. โ€œWhat?โ€ I asked, surprised and a little concerned. โ€œThere is this look in her eye, like she is far more advanced than having just been born a few days ago,โ€ Julia shared. โ€œWe will have to do our best to encourage them both to stay young. I do not want them growing up too fast. There is a lot of responsibility that comes with being a Guardian,โ€ I shared. โ€œI agree. I only found out once I was grown, I cannot imagine the pressure she will be under at such a young age,โ€ Julia agreed. As we continued to talk, I heard footsteps coming from the hallway. Laura came around the corner, โ€œAm I intruding?โ€ she asked, prepared to leave the room. โ€œNot at all. We were just admiring the babie
