Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 31

Never in my life that I will see myself fighting some beasts. Never in my life that I am capable of killing. I stared coldly at the dead black hyenas in front of me. My glowing fur was stained with green blood that came from the black hyenas. The awful smell of hyenas blood filled my nostrils. Its stomach was whacked up--- because of my anger, I ripped it apart.

My four spirits keep saying in my head that it will be alright. But even in my angry self, I'm still feeling guilty killing the black hyenas. Although, my heart was still aching knowing the fact that Darius could no longer travel with us. I will miss him. I looked at Darius' dead body not far from where I am. I felt so bad when I couldn't heal him. Sabrina also tried using her healing magic but it didn't work. It looks like the poison being used is rare and cannot be found anywhere or in this mountain.

I groaned when my left leg suddenly ached. I have no wounds, so I know Azrael was hurting. And I am right because the hyenas managed to bite Azrael's leg. I quickly ran faster to the rescue and attacked the black hyenas causing it to stumble away and slammed into the trees. I immediately lick Azrael's wound and it's quickly healed. He thanked me and I just growled.

Azrael ran towards the beast and attacked the weak hyenas.

I saw Layla and Sabrina still fighting on the other black hyenas. Layla was having trouble fighting the black hyenas. I didn't waste any second and attack the black hyenas who were about to bite Layla on her neck. The black hyenas slammed into the tree and fell down the ground in a loud thud. The black hyenas roared in anger but also in pain and swearing to kill me.

Sabrina uses her power and sword to fight the beast. She's well trained, so it was easy for her to defeat the beast but I notice her having trouble to kill the hyenas. The black hyenas are much more aggressive so I know how Sabrina felt.

One of my pendants shone brightly and the three black hyenas that were still alive growled in pain. I saw my wolf rune pendant---it was the one that was shining brightly. Suddenly, I felt so light. It's like all my strength had tripled. The small blue diamond in my wolf rune pendant was glowing and its glow flowed around my whole body. I feel like recharge and are in good condition that causes my glowing golden white fur to glow even more brightly, almost blinding us.

My gaze met the three pairs of eyes from black hyenas. They suddenly stopped attacking us and stared at me submissively. I let out a gasp when they bowed down their heads and kneeled. What are they doing?

They let out a low growl like they were ashamed for their behavior earlier. My eyebrows furrowed together when their huge bodies slowly retreated and vanished into the darkness as one of the shadows.

"What happened??" Sabrina blurted out unbelievably.

I looked at my three companions who had a look of confusion. I just shrugged my shoulders then ran towards Darius' dead body and weep. I couldn't help the tears to escape from my eyes. After 5 minutes, I stood up and closed my eyes. I was trying to locate the person who shot Darius. I will make him pay whoever he is. He took a life and I will take his.

'I'll be back.' I mindlink everyone and run like a flash. I heard them calling my name but I didn't look back. I was too eager to find the shooter. I know he was still in this forest and I will find him no matter what.

My hearing became more clear and even the faint sound from afar I can hear. Even if I am too far away, I still heard them calling my name. I blocked them out so I couldn't hear their begging inside my head to come back.

I stopped when my feet stepped in the grass. I look around and notice that I was in a wide clearing of the mountain. The moment my glowing fur was hit by the sunlight, a rainbow appeared.

I was about to run again when I noticed a faint aura. The owner was trying to hide it but it's no use because I could hear its heartbeat from a distance. My eyesight became sharp and focused on the side of the forest where I heard the heartbeats. Then I saw a person in black cloak with a bow and arrow in his hand. I'm sure he is the shooter. It was dark, but given my clear sight I can see his face. What shocked me was, it wasn't a man---it's a woman.

I ran faster towards the woman in cloak's direction. When I was at a closer distance, the woman noticed my presence and she ran away faster. She's a demon but I can also smell her vampire blood. She's also a hybrid. I was chasing her at full speed until I managed to tackle her to the ground. She let out a loud grunt and cursed under her breath. She tried to get out from under me but I wasn't letting her go.

She stopped wiggling and stared at my eyes. Her hood uncovered her head letting me see her face clearly. Her dark brown almost black eyes looked at me in shock. She had long 'X' scars on her left cheek and a mark on her forehead. No, it was a small red stone buried on her forehead. What is she? Her gaze went to my necklace and my wolf rune pendant shimmered. I was so shocked when the red stone in her forehead also shone brightly causing me to get off from her.

She stood up while not leaving her gaze away from mine, "You have the iron wolf rune. Where did you get it?! It's been years since it was lost." she said while staring at my pendant. The small red stone in her forehead still glimmered.

'Is this yours?' I said using telepathy. She shook her head no.

"No. It wasn't mine. The owner of that pendant is the King of Mormox Tribe. It was stolen years ago and never retrieved back. The thief said that the pendant suddenly vanished in his hands," she paused and looked at me intently. "It seems like, the pendant and the blue stone choose you as the new guardian."

'What?' me and my four spirits react in unison.

The woman was still staring at me intently like she was studying me. "You're different from every werewolf I see. Your fur…it was glowing like the Wolf Goddess." the woman mumbled in awe.

'Yes, I am different from everyone else. But, I am sure that I am not the Wolf Goddess.' I said to her and she seemed skeptical.

"What is your name?" she asked.

'Alex,' I said shortly.

"Nice to meet you, Alex. I am Lucia." she introduced herself.

But, I remembered what was really the reason why I was looking for her. I couldn't help but growl. She stepped backwards in shock.

'Why did you kill the dragon?!' I furiously said. She gasped.

"I have to kill it before it will transform into a beast!"

I stared at her dumbfounded. 'What do you mean?!'

She let out a sigh, "I'll tell you but can you transform into your human form first?"

'But, I don't have clothes…'

"You can use my extra clothing." Lucia said and rummaged through her tiny bag that I didn't notice earlier. She handed me a dress and short shorts. I was hesitant at first but decided to take her offer. She turned around and I quickly transformed back into my human form. My bones are cracking a little bit because of my sudden transformation. I wore the short shorts and the white dress that fell above my knees. When I'm done, I cleared my throat.

"You can turn now." I said and then she slowly turned to me. A gasp let out in her mouth when she saw me. She gulped and stared at my face.

It was clear that she was amazed by my beauty. "Now, tell me the reason why you killed my dragon friend, Lucia?" I uttered coldly.

She cleared her throat and spoke, "I have to kill the dragon. It can't cross the Tibbertan Mountain because he will bring the curse. That dragon was cursed by a witch," she paused and then heave a sigh, "Once he stepped foot in Tibbertan Mountain, he will become a beast and the barrier of the whole Mountain will be broken."

"I don't understand. Are you from Tibbertan Mountain?"

She smiled, "No. I'm from Moonlight Kingdom." I creased my forehead.

"Moonlight Kingdom? I didn't hear that name before." she nodded.

"Because our Kingdom is hidden and the only way to go there is through the Tibbertan Mountain or a portal." she explained, still staring at my eyes.

"Huh?" She sensed my doubts and she continued explaining.

"Tibbertan Mountain is the gate going to Moonlight Kingdom. A Kingdom where wizard, werewolf, vampire, demons and witches are not enemies. But those outside of the Tibbertan Mountain will be considered our enemies."

"I don't get it." I stated my doubts.

"In time, you'll understand. But, I wanted to ask you. Why are you going to Tibbertan Mountain?" she said, eyeing me intently.

"My deceased parents told me when I was little that I should go to Tibbertan Mountain to find answers to my questions. And I don't know how that mountain could help me. As you said, it was a gate going to your Kingdom. How would I find answers to my questions?" I said with my eyebrows furrowed together in confusion.

Nodding her head, she spoke, "I guess, the King and Queen could help you. And that is if they want you to enter the Kingdom." I frown. What if they won't let us go in? Does this mean that all our efforts will become a waste? Should we still continue our journey?
