Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 39

Demonise’s POV

I grinned when I saw how baffled Sabrina was. She notices right away that I am not the real Alex. Will she expose me? I doubt that. Mama and Papa looked at me while smiling. But I guess they notice the change of my aura.

“What happened, Alexa?” Mama asked. Tsk. I wanted her to call me by my name. I am not Alexandria, I am Demonise!

I fake a frown and said, “Azrael betrayed me, Mama. He locked me up in a cell. Alone in the darkness surrounded by rusty metal made of silver.”

“What?!” Papa shot up in his chair while clenching his jaw. “How could he? We trusted him to take care of you and yet, he betrayed you? What a dumbass! I’ll make sure he’ll pay for what he did. I don’t care if he is your mate!” Papa said in anger while clenching his fist into a ball.

Mama looked at me with a frown and asked, “How did you escape?”

“When they came to visit me, I hide my aura and made myself invisible, and when they get inside the cell, I get out and locked them inside the cell.”

They both sighed in relief. “How could your mate betray you? Why would he do that?” Mama said, skeptically.

“He fooled me, Mama. I thought he truly loved me but it turns out that Liza, Alpha Rick’s daughter, is alive and they are together now. Azrael is also part of the alliance. He is with Lucian.” I said.

“That bastard! Don’t worry, my child. We will avenge you in the upcoming war. I’ll make sure they will pay for what they did.” Papa said, adamantly.

A smile crept on my lips. Blood. Oh, how I loved blood. “Of course, Papa. I’ll kill them with my own hands. I will not let them slide so easily.”

“That’s my girl!” I smile widely. Thinking about blood excites me. My hands itching for some blood.

Afterwards, I excuse myself to go to my room because I stink. Tsk. Alex didn’t take a shower for two days straight. When I got to my room, I quickly made my way to the bathroom and grinned when the bathtub was ready, full of rose petals. I stepped inside the tub and moaned when my body was in contact with the water. It's so nice. I closed my eyes and unblocked them.

‘Demonise! Please, let us get out of here!’

A demon begging? Hahaha Damona, Damona, Damona, I thought we could relate to each other? I told you, accept me and I will release all of you then we will conquer the world together. Is it so hard to accept?

‘We are not like you, Demonise! Our hearts are pure while your heart is full of hatred.’

And who's fault is that? You are the one who made me into this. All your hatred went to me, so now you're going to have to face the consequences.

‘We will get out of here soon, we can control you Demonise.’

Hahaha haha, I doubt you can!

I blocked them out and sang a song happily. A grin plastered on my lips when an idea popped up in my head. I can’t wait to execute it. This will be so much fun!

After taking a bath, I went to the walk-in closet and picked-out some clothes to wear. I wore a black t-shirt and tight black skinny jeans; opening the wardrobe cabinet, I took out the black feathery coat and a black combat boots. I look at the full body mirror and grinned when I’m satisfied with my outfit. Two things I don’t like in my appearance are the color of my eyes and hair. Oh well, like I have a choice.

One last look in the mirror, I finally darted out of my room and closed it. There’s no one in the hallway, and it’s the perfect time to execute my plan. I grinned evilly and made my way into the helper’s room. Can’t wait to see their reactions! I’m ready to make a show.

Sabrina’s POV

I was pacing back and forth, still thinking of a plan of how am I going to tell what I have found to Auntie Leia and Uncle Alexander because I know they won’t believe me. It’s their child, after all, and seeing how fake Alex clinging to them, it will be hard to convince them.

I have to find out the name of the beast and in order to know it is by talking to the fake Alex. The beast was controlling Alex’s body. And it’s not a good thing. But how come Auntie Leia didn’t notice something strange with Alex? Is the beast manipulating them? Is she trying to play with everyone? I have to be careful then. I can tell she’s too powerful. Her aura became more dangerous than it was before. The beast is too powerful and I’m afraid we couldn’t defeat her.

I have to talk to Alex; I know she’s still in there, probably trapped inside her and controlled by the beast.

I sighed and groaned, then trotted out my room. Layla might believe me, and I have to talk to her.

Layla’s POV

I’m looking for Alex but I couldn’t find her in her room. I’d try looking for her everywhere, but I still couldn’t find her.

“Layla!”

I looked at my back when I heard Sabrina’s voice calling my name.

“Hey, Sabrina, you’re back!” I said while smiling. The look on Sabrina’s face told me something was bothering her.

“We need to talk, Layla, but not in here.” my eyebrows furrowed together in confusion when she scanned the hallway like making sure no one was around? I gulped when she grabbed my wrist and walked towards her room.

“What’s wrong, Sabrina?” I asked. I have never seen Sabrina act like this. She didn’t answer, instead, she heaved a sigh repeatedly. Something’s going on and I can tell it’s not good. I rarely see Sabrina act this way unless we are in danger. My heart raced at the thought. Did the enemies find our hidden Kingdom?

When we reached Sabrina’s room, she locked the door and started pacing back and forth while biting her nails anxiously, and lost in her thoughts. I waited for her to talk and sat on the sofa while staring at her looks so tense. Finally, she stopped and stared at me.

“Did you notice something off with Alex?” I blinked my eyes and furrowed my eyebrows.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“How should I say this?” she mumbled to herself and then looked at me and said, “Listen, she is not Alex. She is fake.”

I crease my forehead in confusion, “What?”

“Believe me, Layla. That Alex who returned is not her, or maybe her, but someone else is controlling her body and I am convince that it is her beast. It must have woken up when Azrael betrayed her. Her emotions provoked when Azrael betrayed her.”

My jaw dropped while staring at Sabrina unbelievably. I swallowed my saliva and memory of Alex earlier flashed in my head. Those eyes that were void of emotion and didn’t talk back at us when we asked her. She didn’t even listen when I called her, and worst of all, she ignored Angelo.

I looked back at Sabrina, dumbfounded and mumbled, “I-If it was the beast then we are all screwed?”

She nodded, “But, we have to let the King and Queen know and convince them it is not Alex.”

I nodded. But it is difficult to convince the King and Queen, especially if it is about Alex. But what the heck? Azrael betrays Alex? What did he do? I swear, I will kill the jerk if I see him!

A loud scream startled us, and I quickly shot up from my seat. “What was that?” we both uttered in shock.

Sabrina immediately darted out her room, and I followed. We both ran where the sound was. Some knights were also running behind us, going to the helpers’ area.

When we arrived, the first thing I saw was the blood that scattered on the floor. I gasped and my eyes widened in shock.

“What happened?!” Sabrina asked.

I looked around and two bodies were lying on the bloody floor lifeless and their throats were slit. Their faces had ‘X’ marked in it. My lips trembled at the sight and I gripped at Sabrina while panting. There was a murder inside the castle and yet no one noticed.
