Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 38

Layla’s POV

Walking towards the garden, I saw a lot of butterflies flying around ecstatically. That made me smile faintly, but the sadness I felt in my heart became worse. What would it be like to be a butterfly? I guess being a butterfly also sucks because they can’t walk. I wish they could talk so they will comfort me. Alex and I always love to chase butterflies and play with them.

I sat at the bench and looked at the sunlight with tears rolled down in my cheeks. My heart aches because it’s been two days and Alex still hasn't come back yet. I should have stopped them, if Alex just listened to me. What if something bad happens to her? I swear, I will not forgive myself.

‘It wasn’t your fault. Stop blaming yourself.’

‘I couldn’t help myself but feel bad. I’d rather lose my mate than Alex.’

‘Are you insane?!’

Ada growled angrily, ‘Do you still love her?’

‘Of course, she’s still my first love after all. It’s hard to just forget about my feelings.’

‘What about Stephen?’

‘I don’t know. How can we be together if he’s far away? What if he doesn’t want me too? And like Azrael, he will reject me. Who would want an omega to be an Alpha King’s Luna Queen?’

‘Stop calling yourself an omega because you are not!’

‘Yes, I am!’

My heartbeats quicken and suddenly, I feel an excruciating pain all over my body. I groaned and grabbed my head with my two hands and fell to my knees.

What happened?

Ada kept growling inside me because of pain. I felt like my bones were cracking. An image flashed in my head and tears rolling down in my face nonstop.

I was gasping for air while my one hand clutching my chest.

“H-Help!” I cried and screamed when the pain became unbearable. My vision was blurry and my body felt weak. The images I saw in my head disgusts me and make me want to puke. How could he do this to me?

Every time he thrust himself to a woman, the pain became intense and unbearable. I had a hard time breathing because of it. It’s breaking me apart.

‘Ada!’

‘Ada!’

I cried when I couldn’t feel her. The pain wouldn’t just go away, I thought I’m going to die.

I crawled and screamed when the pain was beyond unbearable. I couldn’t take it anymore. Am I going to die?

I screamed at the top of my lungs and suddenly the images stopped flashing in my head, but the pain was still there. My ears caught the sound of footsteps running towards where I am and I passed out flat on the ground.

~~~~~~

I shot up, gasping for air while clutching my chest. I am breathing heavily and my body is still aching. Tears were rolling down my cheeks again when I remembered the scene I saw in my head. I cried my heart out, and the tears flowed in my face like running water.

How could he cheat? He really doesn’t want me. Does this mean he rejected me?

‘Ada?’

‘Ada?’

Why couldn’t I feel her? I sobbed and buried my face in my knees. What happened to Ada?

‘Please, Ada… came back.’

I don’t know what to do if my wolf will leave me too. This is Stephen’s fault. I will not forgive him. He’s a cheater. Mates are really useless. He’s the living proof of a cheater.

I will never, ever forgive Stephen if my wolf dies. Now, I know how Alex felt when Azrael rejected her. It hurts like a bitch.

I swear I will kill my mate if I ever see him again! Rage filled my heart, and I clenched my fist into a ball. Clenching my jaw, I wiped my tears harshly and got up on the bed.

Wait, who brought me here?

Someone might have seen me unconscious on the ground. Last thing I remember before I passed out are the footsteps.

I stopped walking towards the door when the doorknob twisted and busted open.

“Hey, you’re awake. How are you feeling?” Queen Leia asked and gave me a sweet smile.

I smiled faintly and bowed. “I’m fine, Your Highness.”

“Oh, don’t be too formal. I told you to call me Mama,” she said while smiling and holding my hand, “Alexa treats you as her real sister and I see you as my real daughter too.”

Tears rolled down in my cheeks and sobbed. “Oh dear. It must be hard. I’m sorry.” she said and engulfed me in a hug. I cried loudly and hugged her back.

I ended up telling her what happened earlier. She also can’t believe that my mate cheated on me.

“Rest okay? Don’t worry, your wolf must heal now. It will take time because she took all the pain for you.” she said while caressing my hair. I nodded.

But without my wolf, I’m considered a human. I felt empty without Ada. “Can I go to the garden?”

“Of course, dear. Call me if you wanted to talk, okay?” I hummed and nodded.

We both trotted out the room and separated our way in the hallway. Queen Leia walked towards the throne room while I’m going outside.

I walked with heavy steps because I feel like my heart shattered into tiny pieces. So, this is what it feels like when your mate cheated? I’m glad I survived the pain.

I sat on the bench and watched the butterflies and the flowers. The wind blew my skin nicely, and I closed my eyes. I inhaled the fresh air and exhaled deeply. I do it repeatedly to calm my nerves.

I cracked my eyes open and smiled when I saw blue and green butterflies. It reminds me of Alex’s eyes.

I hope Sabrina, Lucia and the others can find Alex and bring her back safely.

Alex, be safe…

I stood up and lay down in the grass while staring at the sunlight. It’s already afternoon, so the sun didn’t feel too hot against my skin. Even the sun reminds me of Alex. I miss her. Why does she always disappear? Alex, why do you always make me worried?

I sighed and stood up.

“Alexxx! You’re baccckkkkk!”

I gasped and looked to the other side where I heard Angelo’s voice shouting Alex’s name. My eyes widened when I saw Alex standing in the middle of the pathway.

“ALEX!” I called and cried in joy. I ran towards her with a smile on my lips. She’s back!

I hugged her tightly and sobbed. “I thought something bad happened to you, Alex. I’m worried sick!” wiping my tears, I release the hug.

She said nothing back that made me worried. Is she okay? Wait, where’s Azrael?

“W-What happened to you?” Angelo mumbled while staring at Alex intently. What’s wrong with Angelo?

Alex said nothing to us and just stared at us blankly as she passed us and walked towards the castle, leaving us utterly flabbergasted at her behavior.

“Alex!” I called her, but she didn’t look back. Angelo and I looked at each other in confusion.
