Rejected By My Mate

Chapter 29

The beast continued to hiss at us and we were all on high alert. Sabrina, Azrael and I didn't move. We

are observing the beast moves. He could trick us if we will let our guard down. Layla's life is in jeopardy

and we need to find a way to distract the beast.

I mindlink Layla, 'Layla, please don't move. Just close your eyes, I promise I will get you there.'

'O-Okay, Alex. Please make it fast, I am so scared!' she said back in a shaky tone.

I sighed and released a deep breath that I didn't know I was holding. Slowly, I walked one step at a time

while staring at the beast. It hissed while its frilled neck flap wide open as if ready to attack us. I gulped

and took one step again. My heart rate increases in anticipation and because of nervousness, my eyes

glow brightly but this time I was surprised when there's also a tinge of silvery red flecks in both of my

eyes.

Now, I think my eye color is getting weirder mixed. The beast stared at my eyes and we were staring

intently, not breaking eye contact.

'Get, Layla!' I mindlink Sabrina.

In just a second, Sabrina ran towards Layla and the beast immediately hisses loudly and was about to

attack them but I quickly ran like a flash towards Sabrina and Layla. Before the beast could touch us, I

teleported us away from the beast.

Not wasting time, I quickly came back in front of the beast only to find Azrael transformed into his wolf

form. It's the second time that I have seen his wolf and he's beautiful; his fur is a mix of black and white

color with a tinge of silver. It's a rare kind of color.

The beast is attacking Azrael and I quickly intervene in the fight. I threw a fireball to the beast and its

shrill almost stung my ears. It quickly attacked me but I managed to avoid his saliva. I saw the saliva let

out a smoke when it hit the ground. Oh crap, its saliva is like an acid, it could burn us.

"Azrael! Be careful of it's saliva! It can burn our skin!" I yelled and he growled in response.

The beast hissed and let out a huge amount of saliva but I swiftly avoided it. I concentrated on my

power, I formed my hands into a circle motion while waiting for the power to come out. I can feel my

power flowed down from my veins into my palm. Twisting it, an ample amount of electricity ball came

out in both of my palms. I panicked when I couldn't control the electricity ball, it's getting bigger and

bigger. My breathing became heavy and I saw the beast about to throw me its saliva again.

'Alex!' I heard Azrael's panic voice in my head.

I saw him run faster towards the beast but my eyes widened when the beast snake tails hit Azrael and

he flew away while hitting some trees. Rage filled my heart and my eyes glow brightly like it was on fire.

Before the beast's saliva could hit me, I was able to release the huge electricity ball in my hands and

teleported in its back. Its shrill voice echoed throughout the forest when it was electrocuted with my

electricity ball.

Summoning my scythe that was on my neck; the moment it made contact in my right hand, I screamed

in full force and I sliced the beast into halves.

The red mixed with green blood scattered into the ground. Some was spilled into my body and face. I

was still holding my scythe while breathing heavily. I killed the beast. I wiped the blood in my face

feeling gross.

I gulped when the beast cutted bodies slowly forming back together again like it didn't cut into halves.

What the h*ll?

It hissed when they formed back again. Its gaze was so intense while looking at me angrily. I groaned

when I didn't anticipate its move and its tail was able to hit me, causing me to slam into the trees. I

groaned in pain when my back hit the ground. I quickly avoided its tails when I saw its attack.

Why didn't it die when I cut it into halves?

I groaned and let my eyes glow brightly again. I was still breathing heavily and I felt my back quickly

healed. I was able to move swiftly again. Smirking, I ran like a flash towards the beast and it wasn't

anticipating my attack too, causing him to shrill in pain when I threw him a fireball mixed with electricity.

I saw Sabrina got into her position while pointing her bow and arrow to the beast. Letting out a smirk, I

ran faster towards the beast and distracted it. The beast was constantly throwing me his saliva but I

managed to avoid it all.

I jump higher into the top of a big rock while my scythe in my right hand. Sabrina continuously releases

her arrow towards the beast aiming its eyes. A grin plastered in my lips when I saw the beast's heart in

its forehead.

My jaw drops when the beast throws its saliva towards the arrow and it quickly melts. Oh crap. Sabrina

gasped while eyes widened in shock.

"Sabrina! Hit its forehead! That's the beast heart!" I yelled while jumping from the rock and ran like a

flash distracting again the beast.

As I anticipated, the beast's attention was onto me again while trying to hit me with its saliva that was

like acid. My pace became faster while throwing some fireballs towards the beast. The beast letting out

a shrill voice again. It was very loud and high pitched that stung my ears. Perks of having a clear

hearing.

Sabrina still releases an arrow towards the beast while aiming the forehead now. Surprisingly, the beast

noticed that Sabrina was trying to hit its forehead and now the beast is attacking Sabrina.

On the other side, I heard the growling of wolves. My forehead creased when I saw the wolves but

what caught my attention was the white wolf beside Azrael.

Sabrina's loud cursing got back on my trance. I quickly summoned my bow and arrow that was burning

with fire. Making my pace faster, I shot the beast tail when it's about to attack the two wolves. I pinned

its tail into the tree causing it to hisses loudly in rage and let out a shrill voice. Its frilled neck flapped

loudly like the wings of a bird while releasing an ample amount of saliva towards my direction. I quickly

avoided it and released my arrow quickly making me grin widely when it hit its one eye.

Its shrill voice echoed again loudly, making us cover our ears and groan. Then I heard a rattling sound

of wings. When I looked up, I saw Darius staring furiously while flying swiftly towards the beast and

breathing fire directly into the beast's face. A very loud and high pitched voice echoed again but my

ears were already immune to the sound. While it was still distracted by Darius' constant attack, I got on

my two knees and aimed my arrow straight into the beast's forehead where its heart is.

I stood up as I saw the beast stopped moving and slammed loudly into the ground lifeless, causing the

ground to shake continuously but it stopped after how many minutes. I loosened my grip into my bow

while still panting for air. My hands immediately covered my eyes when the beast's body suddenly

shined so bright that almost blinded me. I gasped as I felt a sudden burning sensation in my left wrists.

I uncovered my eyes when the light subsided and I quickly took a look into my wrists where it burns

seconds ago.

A gasp left my mouth when there's another tattoo on my wrists again. Now, I have three tattoos on my

wrists which confused the hell out of me. Why is that everytime I killed a beast it became a tattoo?

"Alex! It's gone!" Sabrina said in relief while walking towards me. The two wolves also approached me.

I stared at the white wolf and gasped when its eyes were familiar. Though the wolf has a hazel brown

eye color, I can tell who it was. It's Layla…

My eyes widened at the realization.

"Layla!" I uttered in shock. She can shift! Oh my god!

'Yes, Alex! It's me Layla! I can now shift, Alex!' Layla said happily through mindlink.

A tear escaped from my eyes in happiness. I thought I couldn't see Layla shifted, but I was wrong. I

have waited for this time.

Sabrina was smiling and I couldn't help myself but hug Layla tightly. I am so happy for her. "I am so

happy for you, Layla." I muttered in a teary eyed.

'Thank you, Alex.'

I smiled widely while caressing her white fur. Layla is a beautiful she-wolf. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

I stood up and gave Azrael a smile. He walked towards me and my eyes widened when he jumped into

me causing us to fall into the ground. I giggled when he licked my face. He was worried about me.

'You almost give me a heart attack, Alexandria.' he said while staring straight into my eyes. I stared

back and smiled at him.

I heard Darius flying around and I smiled. Because of him, I managed to kill the beast.

"C'mon, let's get yourselves clean." Sabrina mumbled. Azrael got off of me and I stood up.

But the problem was, Azrael and Layla's clothes were already torn apart. Uh uh.

Sabrina and I chuckled. The two wolves groaned. But then I stopped laughing when I noticed my

stained clothes which were full of the beast's blood. Sabrina noticed my expression and she bursted

out laughing. My face turned sour as I scanned the bloodstains in my clothes. Ewww.

Suppressing a laugh, Sabrina managed to speak, "Let's find your torn clothes Azrael and Layla. I can

make it whole again. As for you, Alex," she paused and then laughed, "Well, you have to take a bath."

I groaned and then we bursted out laughing.

We walked towards where the clothes of Azrael and Layla were. I laughed when I saw Layla's torn

panty. She whined in embarrassment and chased me while I'm still holding her panty.

'Alexxxxx!' she yelled when she couldn't keep up with my speed.

I laughed then stopped when I saw Sabrina chuckling at us. I give her the panty and she quickly magic

it. And it was whole again. She then gives it to Layla together with a shirt and a short. Layla glared at

me one last time then ran towards the tree hiding while getting change.

"Maybe there's a lake nearby." I mumbled.

"Try to focus your hearing." Sabrina uttered and I nodded. Closing my eyes, I focus on the noise of the

forest. There's a lot of sound and I was looking for the noise of the water running.

I smiled when I heard water running not far from where we are. When Azrael and Layla are already

fully clothed. I ran swiftly towards the water. I stopped when I saw the falls then smiled at the view. It

was beautiful.

The guys are still at a distance, so I stripped off my stained clothes then stepped into the water and

dive deeper. Since I can breath under water, I stayed longer while scrubbing my whole body.

I heard the guy's footsteps and voice above the surface, I was about to go up into the surface when

something caught my eyes. My forehead creased and I swam towards where I saw lights flickering

faintly. When I looked closer, I saw a forged iron wolf rune pendant with a blue diamond in the center.

The pendant was perfectly hand-crafted. The blue diamond is the one who was shining faintly. But

when it contacts my hand it suddenly glows brightly. Same thing happened when I held the scythe and

the anchor/ship wheel pendant. I decided to keep it and put the pendant together with the other.

When I was up on the surface, I saw Sabrina, Azrael and Layla in the rock while the water that was

falling down from above hit their bodies. They seemed to enjoy the water. I smiled and waved at them.

When they saw me, they jumped into the water and swam towards me. They were in their underwear

while I was naked.

"You're taking too long in there." Sabrina uttered.

"Yeah, I was enjoying the warm water underneath."

Suddenly, Layla splashed water towards Sabrina and I. We quickly looked at Layla who was laughing

while Azrael laughed too. Sabrina and I looked at each other then grinned. In a flash, we both splashed

Layla continuously. She shrieked while splashing us back.

After staying long in the water, we decided to step off. But, the three looked at me with wide eyes. I saw

Azrael's face flushed red while staring at me. That's when I notice that I am naked. I laughed and they

immediately looked away in embarrassment. I was giggling while taking my clothes that were laying in

the rock. It was already cleaned with no trace of bloodstains and I think Sabrina did it. I smiled and put

the clothes on.

When I'm done, I cleared my throat then spoke, "You can turn now."

Their faces were still red and I couldn't help but laugh. Sabrina laughed while putting clothes on. Layla

and Azrael also did the same. They were still flustered seeing my naked body. I smirked at Layla. She

already saw me naked a lot of times, why did she react this way now?

Giggling, I looked at Azrael and did I just see lust in his eyes? I almost choked up with my own saliva. I

cleared my throat trying to hide my flustered self. "Let's go?"

They nodded and we walked towards the forest again. I hope this time, there's no beast blocking our

way. I think we were almost on the shore as I could hear water that was harshly bumping into the rocks

from a distance.

We were going to cross a river again, going to the third mountain. I think we will use the ship today and

Darius could fly freely in the sky.

I feel tired because of the fight. I think I used my energy in a full force. Oh well, I'm going to sleep on

the ship.

I smiled when a warm breeze greeted us. The sun hitting my face causes me to close my eyes and

blinks to adjust from the light. We stepped on the white sand until we reached the water. I took my

anchor/ship wheel pendant then it automatically shone brightly. In just a snap, the ship was already in

front of us. We immediately got inside the ship and settled ourselves. Azrael decided to maneuver the

wheels while the three of us lay down on the floor. I closed my eyes quickly when I was almost blinded

by the sunlight.

I am tired and sleepy; the moment I closed my eyes, I drifted off to sleep faster. But before drowsiness

takes over me, I hear Sabina gasp and mumbled.

"It's the lost iron wolf rune pendant…"
