บททั้งหมดของ Rejecting His Queen: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Leaning my head back against the elevator doors, I close my eyes and grit my teeth as the pain of rejecting my mate flows through me. Goddess, she was perfect in every way for me, from the way she playfully bantered with me to the way her body moved, but she was not a warrior. She was a maid serving the Alpha Queen and Princess, a lesser wolf who would he easy prey for my enemies.I had to reject her to protect her. Had to let go of her before I got to know her. Knowing her would hurt us both further.The elevator doors open, and I quickly straighten my posture and walk out, pretending like nothing happened. To my surprise, I was greeted by my pack frantically running about, someone shouting about shutting the storm shutters and preparing for an emergency. Perplexed, I track down Malcom’s scent and find my cousin ordering wolves about.“What the hell is happening?” I demand, watching Malcom frown before turning to me.“No one knows

“Bells.” A soft voice calls out to me as a hand gently strokes my fur. Opening my heavy eyes, I shift to see Liam kneeling before me, his blonde hair dripping wet. The pattering of rain and the blaring of thunder sounds in the background, and I sigh. My powers have gone out of control, but the pain of the rejection stabs into me like a sharp, jagged knife, making me unable to calm my emotions.“Bells, talk to me.” Liam pleads, his fingers gently running through my fur and calming me slightly. I whimper, nuzzling his hand as I shuffle my body closer to my friend. He smiles gently at me, his arms wrapping around my neck as his calming scent rushes over me.[He rejected me.] My voice is quiet, but by the way Liam stiffens, I know he has heard me through our link.“Do you want to leave?” He asks, his hands gently cupping my face. I nod, too emotionally exhausted to continue talking. I watch his eyes glaze over and wait.[Is

“There, you look perfect for your coronation!” Maria exclaims, her cheerful smile making me grin as well. She draws me from my thoughts of six years ago, and I sigh, resisting the urge to run my hand through my hair and accidentally ruin all of her work. This woman had been a godsend when I began training to become a strong Queen. With her help, my appearance changed for the better, and I found that I liked myself more with her help and guidance.“You did an incredible job.” I praise, watching Maria light up.“I always do an incredible job because I have the most incredible model to dress up.” She retorts with a snort, making me chuckle.“We have your cloak, Princess.” Macie's voice calls out as she walks out of my closet, Kelly following behind her, as the two bring a snow-white cloak towards me. I smile at my maids, happy to have had them as my friends for the last few years as I trained to become an elegant Quee

My breath is taken from me as I watch Bella, the woman I rejected six years ago, walk past me after being crowned Queen. I could not take my eyes off of her through the ceremony. Not when the doors open, and that scent of moon flowers that I could never forget came wafting in. Not when she first walked past me, looking ahead at the dais where King Jonathan stood, ready to help crown her Queen. Not when she turned to face us with the crown on her head as the King proclaimed her as Alpha Queen Isabella Nightlock, ruler of wolves.I could feel the power in her blood as she walked by, smell the royal bloodline flowing through her. All things she kept hidden when she visited Frost Moon six years ago. She lived up to the rumors floating around the country, a cold, emotionless beauty who was rejected by her mate and brought an endless winter to the royal pack. I used to scoff at the thought that someone would reject our Queen, the epitome of power and beauty, but it turns out that I

After our walk, Liam and I returned to the ballroom, the two of us deciding to dance the night away and ignore our so-called mates that arrived as guests, although it was easier for him with his locked away, while I felt the gaze of my mate wherever I went. The party went well past midnight, the guests becoming drunk off of the specially brewed alcohol, and I found myself mingling with the guests, meeting Alphas and Lunas and hearing about their packs – packs I should have met on the Royal Tour six years ago. This time around, I promise to make my way around Canada as soon as I can control the snowfall that plagues Nightlock Thorns. No need to cause the same problem to other packs if I can learn to control my powers.“I think it’s time you head to bed Bells.” Liam suggests with a chuckle, his arms wrapped around me as I yawn. He is right, though. The clock on the wall reads four-twenty in the morning, and my body has started to sway with exhaustion.
