Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 6

They all looked at me like I had grown two heads. “Mister, why did you call me a vampire? I am a werewolf and I came from Blueming Pack.” I said, and their eyebrows furrowed, then eyed me thoroughly.

“I can smell the vampire and wolf's blood on you. Who are you?” another werewolf spoke with a serious expression. His gaze fixated on me as he scanned me thoroughly, like prey.

“I don’t know what you are saying,” I said, confused.

“You’re also a witch! Who are you?!” a brown werewolf stepped forward while glaring daggers at me, then growled. Her eyes turned bright yellow.

Now, I don’t understand what they’re saying. Layla shivered while gripping tightly at my waist.

Four groups of packs forgot they were rivals for a moment, as they were so focused on me.

“Look, I don’t know what you are saying,” I repeated, trying to convince them.

“Lie!” a black werewolf scowled and his eyes turned to bright blue.

I closed my eyes and let my power flow into my veins. As I opened my eyes, my glowing eyes mirrored them. They gasped and stepped backward as they saw my two different eye colors—blue and green with golden flecks. Some of them transformed into their full wolf form.

“You’re right. I lied.” I said while smirking, but my voice was deep and three voices were coming from me. And it startled me. It’s like I don't know my voice anymore.

They gasped and stepped backward again. They growled at me in angst.

“Who are you?” they uttered while still looking into my eyes, unblinking. I stare at their eyes one by one, hypnotizing them.

“Go back to where you belong and forget our encounter...” I whispered slowly.

Just like that, they turned their backs and walked away from us. I release a sigh of relief. We stayed standing for minutes in case they would come back, but they never did. Layla finally let go of me and my eyes came back to normal.

“H-How did you do that? Why are they following your order? A-And why do you have three voices!” Layla asked, dumbfounded.

I chuckled. “I remember my mom said that I can hypnotize others and control them.”

“Woah! Cool!” I smiled. “Let’s go.” she hummed, and this time we walked slowly as I looked for some animals to hunt. I’m so hungry and my stomach rumbled.

A minute later, I spotted a deer; I ran faster and tackled the deer, sucking its neck. As soon as my fangs tasted the deer’s blood, I noticed I was so thirsty. How strange. I sucked all the deer’s blood, even though it’s terrible. I carried the deer’s body and walked towards Layla, who looked stunned while eyeing the dead deer. She looked at me in awe. “Let’s eat it. I know you’re hungry,” I said.

“But how can we make a fire?” she said with furrowed eyebrows. Oh, right!

“Oh...” I wasn’t thinking about it.

She chuckled at my flustered self. “Oh, Alex, you’re funny.” I pouted, and she continued laughing.

I grinned as I saw smoke from a distance, “Layla, look!” she followed where my finger pointed at and she smiled.

“Woah,” she blurted out, and I laughed.

“Let’s go!” I said and carried the dead body of the deer. I let her go first.

I heard talking and laughing coming from where the smoke was. “Layla, wait...” she stopped and looked at me questioningly.

“We can’t go in there,” I said while shaking my head.

“Why not?”

“They are humans.”

“Oh, I don’t care. I’m starving, Alex.” I sighed and nodded.

After ten minutes, we spotted the group of humans grilling something. My stomach growled at the scent of grilled meat. Damn.

“Hey!” A guy waved at us. Layla waved back at him. As we got closer, their gaze shifted to me and to the deer. I put the deer down and looked at them.

“Woah,” they uttered in surprise.

Layla smiled at them awkwardly. “Hi, can we join you? We caught a deer in the forest and we don’t know how to cook it. And we are so hungry.” Layla said shyly.

There were two girls and three boys in the group. The girls smiled at us and one of them with blonde hair spoke, “Hm, here, have some.” The girl handed us a plate of grilled meat.
