Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 32

I blinked my eyes repeatedly as I scan the whole place. The portal brought us to a grassy mountain. The view is so fascinating. Colorful butterflies were flying everywhere, the intoxicating scent of flowers filled my nostrils and the wind brushed my skin coldly. This is the Tibbertan Mountain?

I looked around and saw the wide clearing of this mountain. There's also a lighthouse with a huge bell above. It's like a warning thing? I guess?

I notice that this mountain is actually huge. I couldn't see the ocean from up here. Lucia was right, we will get lost without her because we have no idea what was in this mountain.

The sun was already setting and I smiled at the view. It was beautiful.

Lucia stomped her feet into a rectangular marble floor and casted a spell. In just a blink of my eyes, a tall white gate appeared. Lucia looked at us and smiled.

"This is the gate going to Moonlight Kingdom." she uttered.

"Wow, this place is so magical…" Layla blurted out. Yeah, I agree.

Suddenly, the gate slowly opened but we cannot see what was inside because of the white light and Lucia ushered us to enter. We all let out a deep breath before going inside the gate. Lucia is the last one to enter.

We all stopped walking when a forest came in view. Lucia walked ahead of us and she had her hood on. "Just walk closely by my side and don't say anything." she mumbled and we just nodded hesitantly.

I looked at Azrael when he held my hand and intertwined our fingers that made my stomach churn. I smiled at him then walked behind Lucia. Sabrina and Layla walked beside Lucia while asking some questions about the place. It was dark in this forest and the light of the fireflies and the moon are illuminating the whole forest. It's oddly calm in this forest and I liked it. My ears pick-up a lot of sound from afar. A sound of babies crying, laughter, talking, a lot of footsteps and many others that I couldn't tell what the sound was.

After 10 minutes of walking, we reach the exit of the forest. I was in awe when I saw a castle in the distance. It was huge and looked like a medieval style. There's a lot of houses surrounding the castle too.

"We were passing the town before we could reach the castle." Lucia said and we just nodded our head while scanning the whole place. We walked towards the entrance of the town and a guard was on duty. When they saw Lucia, they just nodded but they stopped us.

"They are with me. Let them in." Lucia command and the guards automatically let us in. One guard looked at me in awe while staring at my eyes. I just walked passed by them and never uttered a word like what Lucia said.

As we walked, I saw a lot of people laughing and talking. Some were looking at us weirdly but when they saw Lucia they bowed and greeted her. Woah, is Lucia a royal blood or something?

I notice that these people are mixed. Like what Lucia said, this Kingdom consists of wizards, vampires, werewolves, demons and witches, but it was fascinating to see the unity of all races. Not like in the world outside of this Kingdom, where they are more brute and killing everyone who's at fault or if they are found guilty. Some even wanted me dead. I hope this place and the people will not try to kill me if they found out I was a different kind of hybrid.

But, why do I feel like I belonged here? I don't know but I feel comfortable in this place even if it was just minutes ago that we stepped foot in this world.

'Alex, I can feel that most people in this place are also a hybrid.' Damona said.

'Yeah, but mostly, they have just two or three genes unlike us.' Val mumbled.

'Yeah, maybe because this place is for hybrid people.' Willow uttered.

'This is the right place for us. That's why we feel like we belong here because this is a place for a hybrid people.' Xandra said.

'Yeah, I can't wait to meet the King and Queen though.' I said and they hummed. They were excited to see the Royal family too.

I was fascinated when a wizard showed his magic using a wand. When I looked at everyone's faces, they were all happy and seemed like they had no problems.

I stopped walking when someone grabbed the hem of my dress. When I looked down, I saw a cute little girl with a huge smile.

"Do you have candy?" she asked in a tiny voice while still smiling widely. Oh crap. What should I do? I didn't know how to please kids. I frowned. Azrael was about to talk when Lucia spoke.

"Baby girl, here take this." Lucia said and pulled out some candy in her tiny bag. The little girl squealed in joy and ran towards Lucia. "Thank you!"

The little girl giggled and then ran away. I heard Lucia let out a low chuckle. We continue walking while scanning the whole town. Lucia stopped in the front of a horse with a carriage attached on its back.

"Lucia! My girl. You're back!" a big fat man with a mustache approached Lucia and they did hand gestures towards each other then did a high five at the last gestures.

"How's everything going here, Leo?" Lucia asked the fat man.

"Well, everything's fine except the machine." the fat man, Leo, groaned in annoyance. Lucia let out a laugh.

"Why don't you throw it away? That thing is a hundred years old."

"Hey! It was still useful!" Lucia chuckled.

"Whatever, Leo. Anyway, these are my new friends. This is Alex and Azrael," Lucia introduced while pointing at us, "This is Sabrina and Layla. And guys, this is Leo, my friend."

We greeted Leo, he smiled and welcomed us. Later on, Leo settled himself on the front of the carriage where he will maneuver the horse and Lucia ushered us to ride in the carriage with four big wheels. It's my first time riding this thing so it excites me. How fast could this thing run? Oh, I feel sorry for the horse.

Automatically, the horse walked at a normal speed. I thought he was going to run but I guess I was wrong. I felt Azrael play with my hands. I looked at him and he just smiled. I smiled at him and let him play with my hands. It felt good when he massaged it.

"So, Lucia, all of you here are hybrid?" Sabrina mumbled. Lucia shook her head no.

"No. There are still others that aren't hybrid. Leo here is a pure wizard." Lucia said and Leo hummed.

"But, why was this Kingdom hidden from everyone?" Sabrina asked again in confusion.

"I cannot answer you that because it's not my place to tell. Only the King and Queen can give you an answer. It's against our rules." We all nodded in understanding.

They have a great ruler in this place. I wonder what the King and Queen look like? I'm really excited to meet them. I hope they can help us.

"Are you a royal, Lucia?" Layla asked.

"No. But, I belong to the noble family."
