Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 42

Demonise's POV

They are so stupid. They actually believe what I had just said? Pathetic moron. I laughed mentally. As predicted, playing with everyone is so much fun. Who would have thought that I can manipulate everyone's feelings? Tsk. They are too weak.

I stepped closer to Vorges, who was still staring at me with a quizzical look. My lips twitched and tilt my head to examine his expression. He stepped backward and said, “What are you doing?” I smirked as I saw his face full of confusion. I'm amazed to see the look of doubts on his face. He is hard to convince. Well, let's see that.

Vorges is a man full of curiosity. But his curiosity will lead him to his end. I believe that if you don't keep your curiosity for yourself, there's a possibility that you can't go back from it and it will lead you to go somewhere far and far enough to kill you. How I wish I could say that to him. I smirked.

“You doubted me, don't you?” I said while staring straight at his eyes and then looked at the King. From the look on the King's face, he had a debate on his head and I know what's going on inside of his mind. Apparently, he wanted to kill me, but he is having second thought because of what I had revealed. He really believes I am his daughter. What a fool.

I couldn't help but grin secretly. “Yes. Because I don't think you are telling the truth.” Vorges replied. I laughed while shaking my head, amused in his answer.

“Why don't you ask what father did to my mother 18 years ago? I believe he didn't tell anyone and kept it a secret for such a long time. Right, father?” I said. King Desmond looked at Vorges.

“She's telling the truth, my son.” he said and Vorges eyes darkened then clenched his fist into a ball while gritting his teeth and glared at the King.

Vorges hissed, and in just a snap, he choked the King. “YOU ARE THE EPITOME OF A CHEATER! MOM DIED BECAUSE OF YOU!” the King gasped for air and successfully pushed Vorges away. Vorges slammed his back into the wall. I just stood there while grinning.

Go on. Kill each other. Hahaha hahaha.

Oh well, I'll let them kill each other because I need to go somewhere. My hands were itching to feel blood.

“He is a cheater, Vorges, and a murderer. He killed your mom and he should pay for what he did. Bwahahaha” I whispered into the air and my words traveled into Vorges ears. He clenched his fist into a ball, almost shaking, and attacked his father with so much anger.

“Vorges! Get back to your senses!” the King hissed. But Vorges didn't listen to him. I laughed loudly before vanishing from their sight.

Azrael's POV

It's been an hour since I lay on my bed and yet, I couldn't sleep. My mind keeps thinking about Alex. I groaned and got up from my bed, then walked towards the small fridge and drank cold water. The clock on the wall says it's 11 o'clock in the evening. I need to sleep because all warriors will leave at dawn. But I guess I'll just have to stay awake until our departure.

I darted out my room and walked into the darkness until I reached my office. I twisted the cold metal doorknob and came inside. To my surprise, a silhouette is standing on the window. The glow of the moon is the only light in the room. I quickly turned on the lights and I froze in my position while staring at the girl in awe.

“Alex?! I—Is that you?” I mumbled incredulously. But as I looked into her eyes, it wasn't two different colors anymore—it's dark and void of emotion. What happened to her? And her hair is now black and long. Is she Alex? My forehead creased in confusion. Did my eyes trick me?

Her lips twitched and walked towards me, never breaking eye contact until she's inches away from me. “Azrael, how dare you betray me?” she uttered with full of venom, and it gave me the creep. Her voice is full of distaste. I swallowed my saliva.

“Alex, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry...” I muster while staring straight in her eyes. It stunned me when she laughed hysterically.

“Sorry? Stupid bastard.” she said, and I couldn't back away when she choked my neck.

“Arckkkkk” I gasped for air, but I never tried to get out of her grip because I deserve to taste her wrath.

“I hate you to the moon and back, Azrael Shepherd!” she murmured and her eyes were jet black. Things were floating in the air and the wind blew furiously. Tears rolled down my face while I kept mumbled my apology.

Someone banging on the door outside while yelling my name. It looks like Alex was preventing everyone from getting in just like before. “A—Alex... I'm so sorry.” I said while staring at her eyes with no emotion.

“I am not Alex!” she said, and my world stopped spinning while staring at her dumbfounded. What? Did I hear it right?

I fell on my knees when she released me and panting. She was glaring daggers at me and I stared at her quizzically. “W—Who are you then?” I asked while still breathing heavily and gasping for air because I felt like my lungs were out of air.

A creepy grin plastered on her lips and said, “You'll die if I tell you.”

My breathing hitched in my throat when a dark aura enveloped her. I almost got suffocated as I felt her enormous power in the entire room. Her lips twitched and whispered, “Do you want to live or die?” I feel goosebumps and shiver. Her words stuck in my mind and keep rewinding.

“Azrael!/Alpha!” Liza and the others were calling my name from outside while still banging the door loudly. I stood up while still gasping for air.

The girl in front of me denied acknowledging herself as Alex and yet they look alike and I am sure that she is Alex, my mate. I couldn't deny the connection I felt towards the girl in front of me. If she is not Alex, then who is she?

In just a snap, Alex grabbed her head while groaning and murmuring something. Was her spirits talking to her?

“Xandra! Val! Willow! Damona!” I called and Alex glared at me. It looks like they were arguing inside her head.

I fall on my knees when my lungs are almost out of air. Tears streamed down my face and I coughed. I closed my eyes while gasping for air. My vision is getting blurry and Alex is still grabbing her head while groaning.

The door busted open, and I heard a loud gasp. "Azrael!" Liza yelled my name.
