The Awakening Kate Chopin Novels & Stories

Anna The experience of awakening in an unfamiliar place can be quite terrifying. For me, it was a filthy and malodorous room. As I looked around, I noted the old mattress on which I lay. I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain in my head caused me to halt my motion. Reaching for my head, I discovered a small bump. Grimacing with pain, I endeavored to recollect what had happened to me. As I struggled to summon my memories, the door to my cell swung open, and a rugged-looking man entered. "At last, Sleeping Beauty has awoken," he quipped.

I press the book to my chest and sob, rocking back and forth like a child. “You stupid girl,” I hissed at the heroine. “If I were you, I’d have saved him. I’d have shown him he was worth something.” My fingers clench around the cover. “I wish I were you,” I whisper, bitter and broken. “No one will ever love me like Luke Thorne did you. No one. I wish I were you.” I throw the book across the room. It smacks the wall and slides to the floor. Home is hell.

--- The Awakening When Fiona’s eyes opened, the world was wrong. Not the dark, cold corridors of the facility. But somewhere else. White walls. Bright lights. A hospital? No. A lab. She tried to move—but couldn’t. Her wrists were strapped down. A sharp sting ran through her arm—an IV. Panic clawed at her chest. Then—a voice. “You’re awake.” Bella. Fiona turned her head, vision still foggy. Bella sat beside her, watching. “You should rest,” Bella said. “It’s almost time.”

I glanced through the room and saw Lucien sleeping on the couch opposite the bed. He looked so peaceful in his sleep and it made my heart flutter. I sat up slowly, feeling a little bit better. But as soon as the blankets came off me, he opened his eyes. “You’re awake.” His voice was low but filled with relief. I honestly couldn’t remember anything that happened before I slept off. The only thing that raced through my mind was the fact that I had discovered my true mate — even without a wolf. Maybe the moon goddess was just watching over me. Maybe she hadn’t truly abandoned me and I wasn’t cursed or anything.

It lacked the constant sharpness she carried while awake. I stayed perfectly still. Even Orrin didn’t move. I didn’t want to wake her up. For a rare moment, everything felt calm. But then she stirred. She opened her eyes and awareness crept slowly across her face. Confusion flickered in here eyes followed by realization. She froze. Then she pushed herself upright quickly. She brushed leaves from her clothes, clearly irritated. “What happened?” she asked. I sat up slowly. “We fell asleep.” A faint flush crept across her face, but I couldn’t tell if she was angry or embarrassed.

Nancy The awakening was slow, as if I were emerging from a deep, heavy sleep, and the world around me was still covered in a veil. I blinked several times, trying to clear the fog that obscured my vision, and realized something was wrong. The smell. The air had a strange, sterile odor, a mixture of disinfectant and freshly laundered sheets, very different from the usual aromas of the Morton mansion, which was always filled with expensive perfumes and the subtle scent of old wood. I sat up carefully, feeling my head throbbing slightly, and looked around.

“How are you feeling?” “Like I’m losing my mind,” I said. “What did you put in that tea?” Her brows lifted. “Nothing unusual.” She stepped closer, studying my face. “Your pupils are dilated. And your scent is different.” She stopped. “It’s happening,” she said quietly. “The awakening.” “The what?” “I hoped I was wrong.” She opened the journal. The pages were filled with careful handwriting and old drawings. “This belonged to your grandmother. Maelis Vale.”

And then I felt it. Her. Her scent bloomed through the underground. sweet and wild. My head snapped up, pupils dilating. The world around me pulsed, as if reality itself had quickened in response to her Awakening. No… not yet. “She’s awakening too soon…” The words slipped from my lips in a hoarse whisper, torn from the depths of my chest.

This is book 2 to Awakening rejected mate and you should read that first. The branches and low hanging boughs skim my face, clawing my fur as I race through the forest, ducking low to avoid overhanging sticks that pull harshly as I follow Colton into the darkness. My heart’s racing, blood rushing through my head and I can barely keep up with the swift pace of my mate before me. Focused intensely on the darting black slice of shadow that moves so sleekly to lead the way. The zipping noise of foliage passing my ears at speed and yet I don’t slow my pace.
