Sky's Rejection
Sky’s Rejection Chapter 44

(Sky’s POV)

“I now sentence you both to death by beheading,” A man I have never seen before spoke in an authoritive voice. He was beautiful in a majestic way. Gray stormy eyes, perfectly sculptured jaw, thin lips, pale crystaly complexion and white transparent hair, almost ice looking. The crowd cheered, and my stomach dropped though I knew what was coming.

Diane clutched onto my fingers with hers. “Don’t cry. They don’t deserve your tears,” she whispers barely audible over the cheering from the crowd.

The man grabs my arm, leading me to a huge stone block. I could smell b***d on it as he shoved me down, pressing my forehead against it. I feel something hit my face before it splats on the stone next to me, a tomato, these bloody animals. It angered me; our deaths weren’t enough. They also had to humiliate us too. Why don’t they see what this man is doing is wrong? Neither Diane or I did anything wrong to deserve this.

The man drags his sword over the stone, pulling me from my thoughts and I feel the cold blade pressed against my neck, yet it was blunt. I bit my l*p to stop the sob that was wanting to escape me. Dimitri would be to late, he would lose his mate because I was not strong enough.

I am trying to picture anything other than what is about to take place. I recall a memory of the Council’s annual gathering. Ty and I sat in our room but could hear the music, we wanted to go, Angel stopped me. Said we were not meant to be there. Ty’s wolf for some reason agreed, so we left, headed home. At that time, I thought our wolves were insane but later we found out the gathering was attacked. I miss Ty, why didn’t my wolf stop thus from happening? Why is this person even after me? What crime have I commited with Daine to deserve this?

I focused on that anger building inside of me, when I felt something placed over my head, a hessian bag. If there was anything life taught me was I needed to save myself. Where did my confidence go? All that training disappeared as if I never learned it in the first place.

Angel?! Rain?! Where are you two? Why aren’t you helping me through this? What happened? I don’t even know how we got in this situation. Tell me what to do? How do we get out of this? ANGEL. RAIN. GODDESS MAKE THEM ANSWER ME.

This was it; I am alone. I am going to be killed. Freed from this life. I just hope the next one is better, hoping someone I know will be there with me. Maybe my next life will be more peaceful.

“What do you think you are doing?” A deep voice that made the crowd go silent filled the air. I held my breath before hearing a collective gasp from those watching. Who is that? I feel I know the voice but I can’t place a name to it. It doesn’t sound like Ty or Di.

“Putting this useless b***h out of her misery,” The man hisses, a vampire. What could I have done to get the attention of a vampire? I try to look through the hessian bag but can’t see anything. It’s useless.

“I will destroy you if you even misplace a hair on her body. Now release her.” The voice states, strong and unwavering.

“Under whose authority do you have the right to demand that of me?” The man asked in anger, the sword sliding off the stone with a clang.

“Are you questioning me? I assure you if you heed my warning and don’t let her go, I will be forced to take your life. Now free her and hand her over to me now,” comes the voice-only this time. I felt a rush. The stranger’s aura bursts out of him, and I hear the man take in a sharp breath.

The sword slipping, just barely slicing my throat. I feel the b***d gushing out of me, as I gargle on my own vital fluid.

This was the end, I felt my life flash before me.

I jumped, gasping for air.

I woke up, stark naked and alone, looking around as I tried to figure out where I was. I needed to comprehend what I just saw. I reach up, grabbing my neck.

No cut, nothing indented into me. Only my soul feels damaged, betrayed. I just don’t understand why.

Angel? Rain? Are either of you there? I asked in my mind as I panicked that my counterparts are missing.

‘I am here. What is wrong with you? Why are we panicking when we just woke up?’ Rain asked I a snarky and sleepy tone. She is here, thank goddess.

‘I am here. Just thinking about our sexy mate.’ Angel purred with sleep still lacing her voice. My body relaxes as I feel relieved from hearing from them both.

I now realize where I am. Dimitri’s scent invades my nostrils.

My mind drifting away from that horrible dream and back to what happened last night between Dimitri and I. The way he touched me and kissed me… Goddess, it was the best thing in the world.

Just thinking about how his hands felt all over my body and the way his hard, intense lips moved against my soft ones, as if made for each other. Causes my body to heat in a way only Di could ever satisfy.

‘Let’s go replace our mate.’ Angel says as she jumps around excitedly in my mind. Making my thoughts about the dream completely disappear.

You guys are right. I thought to Angel and Rain, right before hopping off the bed and heading for a shower. My legs are sore from finally connecting with my mate. I turn the water as hot as it goes, trying to burn the intensity I am feeling. Wanting, no needing, every inch of my mate on me, in me, around me. I slip into the shower, shutting the glass door behind me.

The hot water soaking my hair, as it cascades down my body, causing goosebumps on my skin where the water misses. I sigh in relaxation, as I feel Rain and Angel calm down as well. I now realize none of my soaps are in here.

Well, I guess I will be using Dimitri’s soaps.

I lather my body, slowly as everything runs through my mind. The way so much has changed in such a little time. How I will explain to Di that we will never be able to have a child. The creepy nightmare that plagued my sleep last night. The way Dimitri’s skin felt against mine. The way his k****s heated up my skin.

I rinse my body off, shaking the thoughts away. As I turn off the water, step out and dry my body off. I apply some skin soft lotion and pull on my clothes. Skin tight white pants with a violet long sleeve belly shirt. I slip on my silver flip flops, heading out the room to go replace my mate.

‘Yay, we are going to see mate.’ Angel screeches in my head.

‘Should we tell him about the dream?’ Rain asked softly. I could feel the concern in her voice. Though I wasn’t sure why she was worried about a nightmare. It wasn’t like anything was going to happen from it.

‘Sky, come join us.’ Ariel mindlinks me, making my attention divert towards my friend. I guess we will be going to replace Di later.

Let’s see what the day brings for me.
