Rejected By My Mate
Chapter 14

Azrael and Beta Lucian transformed into their wolf form. They were still fighting canines to canines.That made me furious. I closed my eyes and let my power flow around my body. The moment Iopened my eyes, it glowed brightly with two different colors—green and blue. Everything in theroom was floating, including the two wolves that were fighting. They look at me in shock. They triedto move, but I didn't let them. I motion my right and left hand to them, using my powers—I pinnedthe two wolves in the wall. They stare at me in horror.

Then, I spoke dangerously, "I will kill you both if you don't stop.” I have four different voices comingfrom my mouth, from my wolf's spirit Xandra, my vampire spirit Val, my witch spirit Willow, andmine.

Their hearts beat at a quicker pace in fear. Then there's a banging on the door, but they can't openit. I eyed the two wolves in front of me. "You do not fight in front of me again if you wish to live," Iuttered venomously.

Their breathing hitch in their throat and growl in fear. I can feel my mates’ fear towards me. But Idon't care right now because they woke up the beast in me. I can't even control myself right now. Isaw my body glowing too, even if I didn't transform into my wolf form.

"Do you understand me?!" I said sternly while glaring at them and they nodded on the spur of themoment while gulping

The banging on the door became louder. They were trying to break in the door. I compose myselfand relax. Then I turned everything back to normal. Azrael and Beta Lucian were grunting on thefloor during the hard fall. They transformed back into their human form and now they're naked infront of me. I quickly turned my back to them

"Get dressed!" I screamed. Without a response, I heard the shuffling of clothing.

After how many minutes, I turned back to them. I sighed in relief when they're fully clothed now.Fear was still clear in their eyes, especially Beta Lucian. I remain the stoic expression on my face."Beta Lucian, I know you're still grieving. If I just knew the vampires were looking for me, I wouldsurrender myself to them. But, let me avenge our pack. Vampires will pay for what they've done.” Iseriously said without a blink. Beta Lucian slowly nodded, still in fear. I can tell he was still shaking.Then, out of the blue, the door swung open abruptly, which diverted our attention.

"What's going on?!" the people shouted while barging in their way into the room and scanning theentire room. Matthew was holding a big hammer and others had an ax in their hands.

Everything was falling back to normal. We can see no damage, there's no trace of the two wolves’blood that were scattered on the floor earlier because of fighting. I also healed their wounds.

Their forehead creased in confusion. "What are you all doing here?" I ask on behalf of Azrael, whowas still in shock.

They all look at me in awe, and they're suddenly submissive. They look like a lost puppy whilelooking at me. "W-We heard a loud thud in this room and we thought the Alpha was fightingsomeone. W-We tried to open the door, but we couldn't. It's like someone was blocking us.” Lucyanswered while her eyebrows furrowed together while wondering what happened earlier.

I read their minds and they're thinking that maybe they were hallucinating. But not Lucy. Shebelieves something's happened in this room. She sets aside her doubts, which was a relief to me."W-what are you talking about? We're just talking.” Azrael finally uttered.

"Are you sure, Alpha?" Matthew asked reluctantly.

"Yes, Beta. You can go back now. Did you replace traces of the vampire?"

"No, Alpha. We are about to go but we heard the commotion here.”

"Nothing is happening here, Beta. You all can get out of my room. You do not have permission toget inside my room." Azrael said with authority.

All the people bowed their heads obediently. "We're sorry, Alpha." They all mumbled and left one byone.

Then again, we are left in the room. Azrael looks at me with uncertainty.

"W-what a-are y-you?" Beta Lucian said stuttering.

I sighed. "I'm your worst nightmare,” I mumbled while smirking, and stared at him intently. Heswallowed his saliva hard. He should be afraid because he still didn't see my full capability.

"Look, Beta Lucian, you know nothing about me. Yes, you didn't see me shift before because I washiding my wolf. No. I was hiding the real me. Now that you've seen one of my powers, I want you tokeep it a secret between us. Or else, I will kill you." I said dangerously. He nodded.

"You're a hybrid?" Azrael mumbled skeptically. I nodded. He froze and Beta Lucian too.

I can feel their growing fear. I eyed Beta Lucian. His lips were trembling upon speaking, "I... I will tellno one. Just spare my life." he spoke slowly, almost a whisper. Suddenly, he was submissive to me.The furious Beta Lucian was nowhere to be found.

"Okay. If you don't keep your promise, I will hunt you down. Remember, I can replace you wherever youare." I said, and he nodded abruptly. I looked at Azrael when I felt his gaze. When he saw melooking, he turned his gaze to Beta Lucian

"You can go now, Lucian,” Azrael mumbled coldly, with authority.

"Y-Yes, Alpha.” Beta Lucian said, and took one last glance at me before strutting out of the room.And that left Azrael and me in the room.

Silence enveloped us. I broke the silence by clearing the lump in my throat and spoke. "I can't stayhere, Azrael. I should go back.” he frowned at my statement.

"Wait—Where are you going?" he asked hesitantly. I sighed.

"You don't have to know," I answered coldly. But before I can walk past him, he grips my arms nottoo tightly.

"I have the right to know because I am your mate,” he said through gritted teeth. I glared at himand tried to free myself from his grip but he didn't let go and tightened it, which made me gruntedin pain

"I still rejected you, remember?” I uttered coldly. I stared at his eyes, which were filled with pain, butquickly vanished

"I don't care. 1 will not accept it until you take back your rejection towards me. I will make you fall inlove with me, Alexandria.” he said, making emphasis on each word.

I laughed skeptically. Love? I don't know that word. "You can't force me into something I don't wantto, Azrael. One more thing, I don't know what love is.” I said hastily and forcefully, took my armsaway from his tight grip. I rubbed my arms, trying to ease the pain.

I turned my back to him and was ready to leave, but I gasped when Azrael pulled my hand towardshim. My heart beats at a quicker pace. I turned to look at him, but I held my breath when his facewas inches away from mine. And that brown orb captivates me and almost drowns me in. My heartwas pounding loudly inside my chest. I felt weird, so I pushed him away while breathing irregularly.That was strange.

"W-What are you doing?!" I said hastily when he stepped closer towards me.

"Alexandria, please stay and be my Luna,” he begged. I stare at his eyes, which are full of emotionright now. I almost gave in, but no. I can't be with him... for now. Now is not the right time for us. It'sstill complicated. The less contact we have, it is easier for us to let go of each other for a while. I stillhave a mission to do and it involves my life and I can't burden Azrael with my baggage. Though Imight put his life in danger right now. My scent was still strong and I'm sure that the vampires,other wolves, and witches that are hunting me can smell my scent, though it will be faint if I didn'tstay here any longer.

"Stop, Azrael," I said, and close my eyes a bit. I heaved a sigh then spoke, "I don't want to be yourLuna, Azrael." he stopped walking and a look of hurt was visible on his handsome face.

“Alex, he is hurting.’

I know, Xandra.

I hope we can stay.’ Val said.

“He's crying inside. I can feel it.” Willow sighed.

I sighed.

"W-Why not?" he asked in a slightly cracked voice. "Please, Alexandria... I... I can't live without you..."I almost gasped when he kneeled.

"Azrael, stop!" I uttered and sighed in exasperation. I walked towards him and pulled him to standup, but he hugged my legs while still kneeling. My breathing hitch in my throat.

"I will go with you, Alexandria. Please... let me be with you." I heaved a loud sigh.

"I can't, Azrael. Your pack needs you. They need a strong Alpha." I said, attempting to convince him"We also need a Luna. " he desperately said, trying to make me stay. I closed my eyes in frustration."Yes, but it's not me they will need. Trust me, if they will know who I am. They will try to kill mewithout your knowledge.” he suddenly became quiet.

"Azrael, please let me go." I pleaded quietly. I sighed in relief when his grip loosened and he finallystood up in front of me while staring straight into my eyes.

It stunned me when he held my chin up. I am forced to look straight into his expressive brown eyesand I swallowed my saliva when he was looking at my plump lips. What is he going to do?! But whydidn't I move away from him? I can even feel his heat radiate off into me.

I gulped hard when his face slowly leaned in. My eyes widened as I realized what he would want todo. My subconscious mind stopped him from doing what was on his mind right now. I pushed himaway from me and I almost stumbled to my feet. My face flushed a brighter red.

He's trying to kiss me!

“Oh, come on. Give him your first kiss!" Val said.

“Hey! Her first kiss should be memorable!’ Xandra contradicts.

Ugh, shut up!

"A-are you trying to k-kiss me?!" I stuttered, a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable," he said anxiously.

I let out a loud sigh. "Azrael, please let me go. I can't be with you right now. It's still complicated.Everyone's looking for me and I cannot let your pack be killed like the Blueming Pack. It will begood for us to be apart for a while. Don't worry, I'll be back if the right time comes.”

"What if that right time will not come?" he said negatively while frowning. "Alexandria, I can't loseyou," he whispered.

Ugh, why was he so stubborn?

"I'm sorry, Azrael, but... I already made my decision.”

"Okay... but at least tell me where you are going." he pleaded. I sighed and nodded.

"To the human world," I uttered.

He nodded. Silence enveloped us. I cleared the lump in my throat.

"Bye, Azrael," I whispered, and smiled at him faintly. He just nodded sadly against his will. I know it'shard for him, and for me as well. But I don't have a choice. I didn't waste any time, then I teleportedmyself back to Sabrina's house.
