Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 12

Sabrina brought Layla and me into the mall. Michelle is not with us because she had some important things to do. There are many people lingering around the place. I'm not comfortable around these people. I always reminded myself that these people are humans and I can't harm them. My blood thirst is worse here. But Sabrina planned this for me to control my thirst, which was so difficult.

I am trying so damn hard not to jump into the human's neck. It was tempting, especially that I can see through their blood all around their bodies like a scanner. I can hear people's heartbeats loudly and it was so tempting.

"Hey! Sabrina!"

My attention diverted to a woman who was walking towards Sabrina with excitement. The woman was wearing an off-shoulder floral dress. Her long wavy blonde hair was cascading down her back. Behind her is a little blonde boy, around 6 years old. The woman is also a witch. But the boy has a different aura. A wizard?

"Allia!" Sabrina happily greeted the woman with a hug. "I miss you! Where have you been these past few months?" Sabrina asked after releasing the hugs.

The woman named Allia sighed and took a long breath. "I miss you too, Sab. Something happened to the clan, and they need my presence. And I have to bring Luke with me," she said sadly and then looked at the little boy. Sabrina smiled at the little boy and ruffled his hair, which made him pout.

But the boy was staring at me cautiously. "You aren't human, are you?" the little boy asked in a low tone.

I smiled and nodded. "Cool!" He then walked closer to me and held my hand. "I like you." my eyes widened at his words.

Allia and Sabrina laughed. I looked at Layla and she looked amused.

"Who are they, Sabrina?" the woman asked while eyeing me intently.

"Oh, this is Layla and Andrea." Sabrina introduced us. "And girls, this is Allia. She's also a witch. And that little boy is Luke." Sabrina said. I smiled at Allia.

But Allia suddenly froze while staring at me. "You're a hybrid?" she said in astonishment. She can identify?

I looked at Sabrina, and she nodded. "Allia, we can talk about it at my house. Bring Clinton too." Allia nodded and gulped.

"Wow, I have never encountered a hybrid like you before. I can say you are powerful even though you are trying to suppress your aura." I look at her in surprise. This woman was something else. I saw Allia's eyes sparkled like she was thinking something that excites her.

I just smiled at her awkwardly. Sabrina sensed my awkwardness and changed the subject. "Anyway, Allia, since you are back in the city. Why not have dinner with us at my house?"

"Oh, I would love that, Sabrina." I feel relieved. I can't wait to go home. Someone poked my wrists, and I looked to my right. It was Luke.

"What's a hybrid mean?" he asked curiously. I smiled.

"It's, hmm, a mixed type. I will tell you later in Sabrina's house, okay?" I said, and he nodded, smiling.

"He's so cute," Layla said while smiling. I agree. The little boy is just so cute and I couldn't help myself but pinched those chubby cheeks. Luke giggled.

But I feel weird every time Luke touches me. Something inside me was contemplated. I even saw Luke's future and I must say it's not good because I am in it. I decided to keep it to myself.

We've been roaming around the mall for almost two hours, with Sabrina going into different stores. She's buying everything she likes. She even bought us some clothes and shoes which I'm so glad about because ours was full of stains. When Sabrina saw our stained clothes, she threw them away and replaced a decent one that Layla and I wore today. I just wore blue jeans shorts and a white shirt, while Layla wore black skinny jeans and a black shirt.

"Sab, I think we should go. Luke already fell asleep and we'll go to your house later." Allia said.

"Of course, Alli. Ask Clinton to bring the books." Sabrina said.

"I will. Bye, everyone."

"Bye."

Allia walked out of the store with Luke in her arms. I look at Sabrina. "Can we rest? I'm so tired." I said while pouting. Sabrina chuckled.

I still feel weird. It started when Luke held my hand.

"Okay, let's go find a place to eat." She said, and my eyes sparkled.

"Yay! Let's go then!" I said excitedly. Layla and Sabrina laughed.

Suddenly, I stopped. I closed my eyes when my vision turned red. My body trembles a little and I stop myself from growling. My vampire side was dominating my system. All I saw was red.

Val, what was happening?

But I have no response from Val, which is strange.

"Alex? Are you okay?" Layla asked worriedly.

"My vision became red and my body was shaking," I answered while my eyes were still closed.

"Oh, no. You need blood." Sabrina uttered in panic. I just shook my head no because I am not that thirsty for blood.

Xandra, Willow, are you there?

‘Alex, freeze time and get out of here fast or else these humans will be in danger!’

How can I freeze the time, Willow?

‘Breathe and concentrate.’

Okay.

I took a long breath and uttered. "Sabrina, Layla, I will freeze time and I'll run out of here because any seconds from now, I'll be out of control of my body." they nodded at me worriedly.

Then, I concentrated and froze time. When I opened my eyes, the surroundings stopped. Only Sabrina didn't freeze. Then she nodded at me. I quickly trotted away and ran as fast as I could out of the mall. In just a flash of seconds, I found myself in the woods. I could hardly breathe and my body ached excruciatingly. My insides were burning again like fire. Something in me wanted to come out.

Val! Xandra! Willow! What was happening to me?!

I screamed when my veins hurt so badly. But I didn't hear the three voices of my spirits. Where are they when I need them? I cried out because of pain while I curled up into a ball.

I feel like my eyes change color and are glowing more brightly than before. Then I saw images. A horrible image.

I gasped after the images vanished like a wind. What was that?

I kneeled on the ground when my chest hurt. I clenched my fist and was struggling to breathe. To ease the pain, I clutched my chest tightly, but the pain got worse. Whatever is inside me, I will try to control it. Then tears streamed down my face. The intense pain made me weak, but I didn't give up. I wanted to fight this beast inside me. Ugh.

I felt myself turning into my wolf form. I was a large golden-white wolf. My fur was also glowing more brightly. I growled when my bones cracked up. My claws scratch the ground with force when the pain gets more intense and unbearable.
