Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 26

Third Person's POV

As the sea monster roared loudly, the waves furiously swayed the ship causing it to shake uncontrollably and nearly drowned out. But, Sabrina managed to cast a spell to fight the waves even though she found it hard to focus because of the continuous shaking of the ship.

Azrael and Layla were holding tightly to the big wheel, careful not to slip off. The wind also blew furiously that caused them to almost fall into the infuriated dark blue water. Layla screamed in fear to fall into the water. Good thing, Azrael managed to grip something sturdy and caught Layla that almost fell into the water. Layla was shaking and crying because of fear. It turns out Azrael was clinging into the big anchor. He was grateful for it because it saved their life from drowning.

Seeing how frightened everyone was, Alex was determined to kill the beast. She grabbed her necklace and took the round pendant. When the round object was in contact in her hand, it suddenly shone brightly and a long golden scythe with sharp blade revealed. Excitement filled her heart, and quickly maneuvered the scythe like a pro.

Sabrina saw Alex swinging her scythe and she couldn't help but be amazed. Excitement also filled her heart and casted a bow and arrow. Lifting it up, she focused to aim at the eyes of the two-headed snake water dragon.

"Azrael! Can you drive??!" Alex yelled because she was on the edge of the boat opposite Azrael and Layla who was still holding the anchor for their dear life. Azrael swallowed his saliva and nodded. Not wasting any time, he told Layla to grip at the anchor tightly while he made his way to the big wheel and started maneuvering it.

"I want you to get near the beast, Azrael!" Alex shouted again. Azrael froze.

"Are you insane, Alex?? How can I do that? I am not letting ourselves get killed! Or worse be that monster's dinner!"

"Ugh, just do what I said, Azrael! I have a plan, okay?" Alex yelled annoyingly. Azrael didn't say anything back and decided to obey his mate. As frustrating it may seem to him, he knew he trusted Alex. But, he was still shaking and nauseous. His wolf Khael decided to take over Azrael's body and skillfully maneuver the ship that made Alex smile.

The two headed snake let out a loud growl again and made the waves go higher causing their ship to go up too. Khael swiftly turned the wheel and let the ship flow by the current. Alex smirked knowing that was a perfect timing. Standing at the edge of the ship, her eyes glow brightly and her body almost as if burning in fire. But, yes, her body was burning in fire right now. But it wasn't the original fire, it was a blue and green fire which is much more dangerous than the actual fire. Her scythe was also burning with blue and green fire like they are one.

Alex closed her eyes to collect herself and when she opened her eyes, there's nothing you could read in them as it held nothing but a pure deadly fiery blue-green set of eyes like it would burn you to death.

The two-headed snake saw Alex approach but once the giant snake stared at Alex's eyes, it seemed petrified. When the sea monster was distracted by Alex, Sabrina released her arrow in a swift motion aiming at the monster's eyes.

Alex saw the arrow and she signed Sabrina to fire more arrows which the latter did in just a second. The first arrow hit the sea monster bull's-eye and their scream echoed more loudly causing the waves to sway furiously and uncontrollably. The ship almost fell down but luckily Khael managed to maneuver it back to it's position. Another arrow hit the monster and this time Sabrina releases more arrows.

Alex saw the patterns of the arrow and she jumped each one like she never weighs heavy. It's like she was a bird flying towards the direction of the monster. Layla's eyes widened in horror and shock but at the same time amazed at Alex. Of how she easily flew like she had wings. Alex is getting nearer and nearer to the beast and she grip tightly at her scythe and readied it.

Just as she calculated, the beast tried to attack her using its huge tails but Alex quickly avoided it as Sabrina continuously released more arrows. The arrows hit the snake tails and it roared painfully.

Layla's eyes widened in horror when the tail of the monster was going to hit the ship. She closed her eyes and readied herself to die right then and there. She thought they were going to drown, but that didn't happened. When she opened her eyes, the ship was no longer in front of the beast. She sighed in relief but her heart was still beating erratically in fear. Her eyes widened more when she saw Alex frequently jumping into the floating ice like stairs making its way to the beast while a burning scythe is on her hand taking its aim to the beast who was still roaring loudly in pain.

The beast's eyes were full of arrows that were thrown by Sabrina a moment ago.

Alex didn't waste any time and skillfully used her scythe to slice the two-headed snake to shreds. The beast excruciating cries stung their ears, almost making their ears bleed. But Alex still wasn't content, swaying the scythe into different movements, she lunged at the beast and sliced it into tiny pieces.

Surprisingly, the beast shone brightly and they saw something lifted up into the sky and exploded like fireworks. But, Alex gasped when something caught her eyes, she was stunned to see a small bright light coming her way swiftly. And in just a blink of her eyes, the light stopped in front of her and froze when it entered her wrist. But then, she noticed a tattoo in her wrists. It's a two-headed snake water dragon tattoo that made her flabbergasted. There's a slight burning sensation that runs through her veins but it fades quickly.

Alex was still breathing heavily while gripping her now bloody scythe. The thick black blood was burning by her blue-green fire. The awful smell of the burning blood scattered in the air causing them to cover their nose and feel nauseous.

Alex teleported herself into the ship and slammed herself to the wet floor while breathing heavily. The scythe suddenly shimmered and returned back to the round object. Alex quickly put back the round object on her neck.

The wind was now blowing normally like it should. The waves were nowhere and the silence enveloped them. Only their ragged breathing could be heard.

Layla was still gripping the anchor like her life depends on it. Azrael was also gripping the wheel tightly when Khael let him back. He had no idea what happened but Khael explained to him what happened.

Sabrina joined Alex and smiled proudly at her. Alex sat up and smiled at Sabrina. "That was…a mind-blowing fight!" Alex mumbled. Sabrina nodded in agreement.

Soon they bursted out laughing when they saw Layla still gripping the anchor tightly like a tarsier. Azrael joined the laughter and soon Layla laughed too. She quickly released her grip on the anchor in embarrassment even though she was still shaking from nervousness. But she was thankful to that anchor because it saved her life.

Their gaze diverted ahead. Now, they could almost reach the shore of the black rocky mountain island. The island is big and they have no idea what was in there. But they shared only one thought---they were hungry.

Alexandria's POV

After releasing my power earlier, I heard my tummy let out a grumble sound. Oh no, I'm hungry. But, I also heard three sounds of a grumbling tummies. We looked at each other and let out a laugh. Guess, we will find something to eat on that island.

The moment we reached the shore, I stalked out of the ship quickly and stretched my legs.

"How about the ship?" Layla uttered. Oh, right. That's the problem.
