Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 33

"Alexandria, my baby, you're now all grown up." The Queen said while wiping the tears that streaks down in my face. She stared at me lovingly.

"You were just so little when I held you in my arms before." The King uttered while sniffling.

I shook my head in confusion. "I---I don't understand. What are you saying? My parents were already dead." I asked, I couldn't help but furrow my eyebrows together. They even knew my name and called me their child. What's going on?

"Let us explain everything." The Queen said and I nodded.

We all sat on a long white leather sofa that was sitting on the other side of the room. The King and Queen sat across us. Azrael held my hand and pressed it for support.

The King cleared his throat and looked at me then smiled sweetly. "Let us introduce ourselves first. My name is Alexander,"

"And I am Leia."

My eyes widened when I heard their name. I gulped and stared at them while my mouth agape in surprise.

"What's wrong?" The Queen, Leia, asked worriedly. They all looked at me, confused in my reaction.

"I know about you." I mumbled. And they let out a surprise gasp.

"How? I'm sure Rachel and Dominic didn't have a chance to tell you…" King Alexander said.

"They didn't." A tear escape from my eyes nonstop when they mention my deceased parents. They knew and I think they were telling the truth. They are my real parents. I put two to two together and I know, the child stated in the book was me.

Azrael hugged me sideways trying to comfort me but I'm still crying. They were also crying while looking at me.

"I'm the child. I now know why they are after me. I am the beast everyone thought that will be the end of them all." I said while sobbing.

King Alexander and Queen Leia looked at each other. "How do you know about it?" Queen Leia or my real mother asked.

I grabbed my necklace and took out the book pendant. I put it in the center table in front of us and it shined brightly then a big thick book appeared. They all gasped while staring at the book.

"The Gifted Hybrid?" Lucia mumbled while staring at the book.

The Queen was fidgeted in her seats. I creased my forehead while staring at her. "Where did you get the book?" she asked.

I sighed and said, "In Alpha Rick's secret room…"

"This is the book that everyone wanted to get. Because this book has the information about the Gifted Hybrid which is you, my child." The King said while looking at the book.

He tried to open it but he failed and they noticed the spell surrounded the book. I let out a pit of giggles which they all looked at me, smiling. "It actually needs a key to open the book." I said and the King laughed. His laughter was contagious and we couldn't help but join in his laughter.

I shook my head and took my three pendant; the anchor, the ship wheels, and the round object---which is my scythe. They watched me put the pendant into the cover of the book which they didn't notice the holes. Afterwards, the book shone brightly causing us to cover our eyes.

I saw the pages flipping on its own until it stopped then the light died. I took the book and read the only two paragraphs stated in there.

"Thou shall not anger the gifted hybrid---it will be the end of your life. The enormous power she possessed will be the future of the whole world. Once her emotion will provoke, prepare for the worst. She will be ruthless and evil when the beast inside her awakens. You do not want to be on the receiving end of her wrath." I gulped. This information freaks me out. The beast inside me? What does it mean?

'Yes, Alex. The beast hasn't awakened yet. She is waiting for the perfect timing. So, it's really important to keep your emotions in control. But don't worry, we will help you fight and control her.' Willow said and the others hummed in agreement.

"Are you okay, Alex?" Sabrina asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry." I mumbled and then continued reading the next paragraph.

"You do not want to unfold the secrets lies about the gifted hybrid for it will bring you to your sufferings---to your death. Be prepared when the beast inside her awakens but do not fight her and run if you want to save your life. Let her fight her own beast, for her to control it fully. Time will tell you why the child was chosen to be a gifted hybrid. Learn to wait and don't rush."

Now, I'm afraid of my own beast. How can I fight my own beast? I hope we will be able to defeat my beast. What if the beast will overpowered us? What will we do?

The book flipped on its own after I read the last paragraph.

"Blue Moon will be the start of the chaos. War between all races will arise. The gifted hybrid should be prepared. They're after her and they will do everything to kill her even if it means their death just to end her life. But, one thing to remember---do not provoke her emotions. Or else you will face certain circumstances later."

A war? Because of me, a war will happen soon. I couldn't help but feel anxious for all the people to be involved because of me. A war also means death.

The book suddenly closes and shined brightly. The book became a pendant again and my other pendants also lying in the center table. I took it all and put them all back on my necklace.

All of us were just quiet until the King cleared his throat and spoke, "My child can we talk to you in private?"

I looked at my companion and they nodded for approval. I turned to the King and nodded.

The King ordered Lucia to settle everyone in the guest room. I smiled at Azrael, Sabrina and Layla and mouthed them that I will see them later. The King and Queen stood up and I followed. We walked out of the throne room into the hallway while two knights were following us.

We stopped in front of the door where two knights stood on each side of the door. They opened it and we went inside the room. I scan the whole room and saw a desk with two chairs in front for the guest and then couches for which I think used for meetings.

The Queen smiled at me then held my hand and we sat on the couch side by side. "Can I hug you again?" she said full of excitement. I nodded while smiling. The King was smiling at me in which I returned back the smile. The Queen, which is my real mother, engulfed me again into a tight hug. I closed my eyes and hugged her back.

I feel like crying. This feels like home. I miss my deceased mom who used to hug me like this. But now, I hugged my real mom. And I couldn't believe that my real parents are royal. So, that means I'm also royalty.

When we released the hug, the King also engulfed me in a big hug. I smiled when he kissed the top of my head while whispering, "I missed you so much, my child."

After our hugging session, we both settled on the couch while staring at each other. "What am I going to address you?" I blurted out. They smile at me.

"Whatever you want to call us, sweety. You can call us mommy and daddy, or mama and papa. It's up to you my beautiful daughter." The Queen said while smiling brightly showing her pearly white teeth. I nodded and smiled.
