Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 43

Sabrina's POV

With the help of Lucia, our journey has been easy. But we still couldn't track Alex's whereabouts. I decided to seek help from my wizard friend that didn't join the alliance. There are only a few wizards who rebelled and joined the alliance. I'm glad Clinton and Allia weren't like them. I told them everything that happened when I'm gone. They couldn't believe what we've been through just to reach Tibbertan Mountain. But I didn't tell them about the Moonlight Kingdom. It's not my place to tell, maybe someday, but I have to ask permission first to Auntie Leia and Uncle Alexander.

Clinton was reading a book, while I was pacing back and forth. Allia was talking to Layla while Lucia had a poker face because of Luke's constant questions about the buried stone in Lucia's forehead and the mark on her face.

"Luke, stop bugging Lucia, okay?" Allia said and Luke pouted then shrunk into the chair.

"Great! I found something to help Alex control her body back." Clinton mumbled suddenly.

"What is it, Clinton?" I asked eagerly, then sat in front of him. I keep fidgeting in my seat because we only have 4 days before the war and our enemies are already marching towards Tibbertan Mountain. We have to hurry and convince Alex's beast to help us in the war.

"Her mate." Clinton said.

"What?! How? That jerk betrayed Alex!" Layla said furiously while clenching her fist tightly.

"How could he help?" Lucia asked.

Clinton sighs and says, "His wolf can talk to Alex's wolf and other spirits including Alex. And their bond can help connect each other and could give Alex and her spirits enough strength for them to fight off the beast."

"Then, we must make Azrael come with us." Lucia said.

"We can't! I hate him!" Layla said with distaste.

"We have no choice, Layla. He is our only chance to bring Alex back." I said.

She didn't reply, but her mood changed. I know that Layla hates Azrael so much because both of them share the same interest, which is Alex. Yup, I know that Layla is in love with Alex. Poor Layla.

Suddenly, I felt the air changes in the entire room and it felt too hot.

"It's hot!" everyone mumbled while beads of perspiration formed on our forehead. Something's wrong. I can feel a presence. A very familiar presence.

"You're looking for me?" I was stunned when someone spoke. Everybody gasped, and we turned our heads in the direction of the voice.

And there, Alex's beast was leaning on the wall near the door. I froze when my gaze fixated on her dark, hollow eyes.

"Alex!" Luke exclaimed in joy and next thing I knew, he ran towards Alex and hugged her legs. The beast just looked at the boy blankly, but I'm surprised to see her lips pursed into a thin line.

"Hey there, Luke." she said and we couldn't help but let out a gasp. She pats Luke's head and ruffles his hair, which makes Luke giggle.

"Luke! Come here!" Allia said while her hands were shaking. The beast looked at Allia while smirking.

But the beast never let go of Luke. "I'm taking him." the beast said, and we all gasped.

"No! Give me back my son!" Allia said on the verge of crying.

"Alex, please let go of Luke." Clinton said nervously. We all shot up in our chair while looking at Alex's beast. She laughed loudly and her voice echoed throughout the room and next thing we knew, Alex's beast disappeared together with Luke.

"No! My baby!" Allia cried loudly and Clinton tried to comfort her, but the latter is also crying. I stumbled back to my chair in shock. It was so sudden and I didn't even have a chance to talk to the beast.

I grabbed my hair in frustration and facepalmed. Why would Alex's beast take Luke? I don't understand.

"Alli, what was Luke's power?" I asked while my heart was pounding.

Allia shook her head and said, "Luke's power hasn't come out yet."

I nodded. "I think the beast needs something from Luke's power."

"I don't know what to do if something happened to my son." Clinton said while clenching his fist tightly. I sigh deeply. The beast is planning something. We must act now.

"We have no time. Come on, let's save Luke before we're too late." Lucia mumbled and shot up in her chair.

We all nodded, but Allia was still crying. I shot up in my chair and walked over to Allia. "Alli, I'm sure she won't hurt Luke. We will find them and get Luke back. I promise." I said and hugged her. She sobbed and nodded slowly.

I'm so confused why Alex's beast took Luke. What's her plan and what is it to do with Luke?

"Let's go. We couldn't waste time now." Lucia said, and we fixed ourselves.

Lucia cast a spell, and a portal opened. We didn't waste any time and got inside the portal.

The portal took us in the first mountain going to Tibbertan Mountain, and right from where we are, we can see a sea of warriors marching through the snow. They are way too many. I think there were thousands of them. Now, I'm getting anxious for the upcoming war. There's a fifty-fifty chance of survival, and I don't know if we could make it alive.

Lucia cursed under her breath and mumbled, "This is not good. We are outnumbered. There were too many of them." her voice was shaky.

"Let's pray. God, please help us in this war." Clinton uttered nervously while closing his eyes. He is just a wizard. A wizard that didn't experience a war. They shouldn't come with us. This is my fault.

I close my eyes and pray. The moment I flickered my eyes opened, I couldn't help but gasp because there's another battalion following the first batch. The second battalion are all werewolves, and Azrael is one of them. And from the other direction, there's also another battalion of Vampires. I easily notice the Vampire because of their thick clothes and a big cloak that cover all of their bodies. They are afraid to get burned under the sunlight. Alex is lucky because her body is immune to the sunlight, which is strange because she is also a vampire. I sigh in relief when I don't see him. I fought the urge to smile. The last thing I want is when Vorges and I fought in the war because I don't think I can kill him. He is still my mate, after all, even if I hated his kind.

The problem is, how can we get to Azrael if Lucian and his warriors were surrounding him? This is as hard as I thought. We must find a way to get Azrael's attention. It's better when all of them reach this mountain for us to capture Azrael. The forest was dark and I believe they won't notice us because of their huge numbers. It will take them a few hours before reaching this mountain, and we have to make a plan.

We all climbed up in the tall huge trees and sat at the branches. After we were all settled, I told them about my plan on how to get to Azrael. My plan should work or else we're doomed. I am a Queen and all my plans always work. I hope this time I won't fail, but anyway I'm confident that my plan will work.

Alex, wait for us… I promised you can control your body back. I said in my mind.

Queen Leia's POV

Tears were streaming down my face as I relive my memories from 18 years ago before our life got complicated. Everything is Alexander and I's fault. Because of us, our people have no choice but to fight in the war to save their lives and everyone. If I could just bring back the time, I would. But our destiny had already decided. Whatever happens, happens, and I will accept the consequences.

I looked up when the door busted open and my husband came in. He frowned while scanning my face. I quickly wipe my tears away. He let out a deep sigh and kissed me on my lips, then wiped some of my excess tears and gave me a reassuring smile.

"Everything will be alright soon, my Queen." he said, and I smiled. "Come, Cybelle had arrived." I was stunned.
