Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 7

“It’s weird...” Tristan mumbled while looking at the deer.

“What’s weird?” I asked, eyebrows furrowed.

“The deer has no blood,” he uttered.

“What?” Anna let out, then stood up and walked closer to Tristan. Anna gasped when she saw the deer. I have to think of a quick explanation.

Yvette also looked at the deer closer, “Look, there’s a bite on the deer’s neck!” Yvette said with eyes widened. Then they look at us questioningly.

“Oh, we haven’t noticed it. We were hungry, so we didn’t look closely. It didn’t smell bad, so we thought someone killed it recently.” I said calmly and shrugged. They don’t have to know that I did it.

“It looks like they sucked all the deer’s blood,” they mumbled and shivered. I can hear their heartbeats becoming irregular. It scared them.

I caught Layla taking glances at me and grinned secretly. She knew I did that. “Do you still want to eat it?” Tristan asked me. I nodded, even though I am still full right now because I sucked all the deer’s blood. But Layla is starving. She hasn’t eaten for almost 3 days in a row because of me.

“I’m starving. We haven’t eaten for days. I think the deer’s meat is good.” Layla said. Tristan sighed and nodded. Then I continued grilling the meat. When we already cooked a few slices of meat, Layla and I devoured it. The group just watched us and didn’t eat with us. I just shrugged my shoulders.

After we ate and talked, the group packed their things because it's time for them to go back home and we tagged along. We walked for 20 minutes before reaching the entrance of the forest. Then I saw the truck beside the small rocky road.

“That’s your truck?” Layla asked.

“Yep!” they mumbled.

Then Yvette and Anna rummage through their bags and take something out. Before they let us into the truck, Yvette and Anna handed us their extra clothes. We changed at the back of the car while the boys looked away. Yvette and Anna were hiding us while we changed and their backs facing us.

“We’re done!” I mumbled and smiled.

They turned around to see us, then ushered us to go inside the car in the backseat together.

“How many hours will we reach the city?” I asked after I settled in.

“Hmm, about five hours,” Tristan answered. I hummed and looked outside the window. “You can sleep,” he mumbled while starting the engine. I just hummed.

But I don’t want to sleep. I want to know the direction, in case I decide to come back.

An hour later, I feel uncomfortable. My hearing caught a noise from a distance. I heard a lot of footsteps running in the forest along with us. Damn! There are too many of them!

"Tristan! Faster!" I yelled as I heard the growls of werewolves running behind us.

"What?!" he asked, dumbfounded. The others woke up because of my yelling.

"Damn. Wolves are behind us!" I said, and suddenly the truck screeched to a halt. Uggh, damnit!

The girls yelled in horror and their breathing caught in their throat because of fear. Layla grip my arms tightly. Werewolves were blocking our way in this broad daylight. Seriously?

I closed my eyes and let it glow. I don't know, but my mouth said something foreign. Just like that, the groups and Layla fell asleep. I quickly jumped out of the truck, then locked it and faced the hungry werewolves. They are a group of rogues!

They growled and hissed while looking at me. I can feel my power flowing in my veins. My eyes glow brightly and my body releases a powerful aura. The werewolves roared while stepping backward as I stepped forward.

A black werewolf ran faster towards me, but with just one swift motion of my hands, he flew away into the trees. The others growled and attacked me all at once. But I ran faster into the woods and made sure they all followed me. They were following, which is good because I want them away from humans and Layla.
