Rejected By My Mate
Chapter 47

Alexandria's POV

My eyes flutter open, and I am almost blinded by the light. I blinked my eyes repeatedly to adjust my sight.

“Where am 1?” the first word that comes out of my mouth.

This place is so strange, but I felt so light. I gathered all my strength and got up. My head buzzed, and I groaned. I frowned when I realized I was in an unknown place. Honestly, all I saw was white. But I feel like déja vu. Do you know the feeling that even though the place was unknown, it still looks familiar? Like I've been here before? I don't know.

Am I in heaven?

“Xandra? Val? Willow? Damona? Demonise?” I called all my spirits.

“We're here, Alex." All of their voices echoed inside my head

I was stunned and my eyes widened in shock. Does this mean I was back in my body? My heart rate increases in anticipation. I wasn't dreaming, right?

“No. We're back in our world.” Willow said enthusiastically.

“How did it happen?’ I asked.

“We don't know-how. But the important thing is you are back inside your body and take full control. As for Demonise, here she is arguing with Damona.’ Xandra said while chuckling.

I smiled. “And what did the two argue about?’

“Well, Damona was giving lectures on Demonise about how she handled things when she took control over your body. But of course, Demonise contradict because she thinks she did the right thing in taking revenge for you."

“Though, I am happy when Demonise beat the hell out of Liza the bitch."

“It still not right to take revenge. That won't do us any good. For sure, Liza is now holding grudges against me.’ I said while frowning. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Well, she deserves some beating after everything she has done to you. Demonise butted in. I know she was rolling her eyes.

'So, Demonise, do you accept to be one of my spirits now?’

'Yep. If didn't accept it, I wouldn't be here.’

“So, that's what happened?’ I asked.

'Yes, I apologize for giving you all a hard time.’

“It's fine. I understand where all your hatred came from. We should be the one to apologize.’ I said, feeling guilty.

I was about to walk around when I heard a weak groan. Someone was also here. I looked around and was stunned to see a lying silhouette at a distance. I wasn't alone here!

Quickly, I ran towards the silhouette of a man. That man got up and looked around until our gaze met each other. My eyes widened and shock was written all over our faces. Instantly, I stopped running and just stood there baffled

“Azrael?” I murmured incredulously.

“Alexandria?” he murmured back, flabbergasted.

My eyes widened more in embarrassment when I noticed that he is naked. He quickly covered his private part using his big hands. But it's too late because I already saw it. My face flushed red. It's been so long since I didn’t see him, but then I remembered all that happened when I met him. What happened right now started when he rejected me. Would we both be here if he didn't reject me before?

He was one meter away from me and stared at me longingly. I don't know how to approach him. Even though I understand why he betrayed me and I already forgave him, I still couldn't bring myself to trust him again.

All of my spirits were screaming inside my head. They wanted to touch our mate. I coughed and just stared at his handsome face. Azrael came closer and closer until our faces were only inches away. He tucked a strand of hair at the back of my ears and stared at me lovingly. Tears rolled down his face. “I wasn't dreaming? You're here in front of me?” he mumbled in a daze. My mouth agape and slowly nodded my head.

I closed my eyes when he pressed his forehead into mine. The girls are screaming inside my head. I could feel Azrael's breath fanning in my face and I opened my eyes. My gaze met his brown orbs with golden flecks.

"Alexandria, I am deeply sorry for betraying you. I wasn't in the right state of my mind. I just caught up in a spur-of-the-moment decision. My stupidity has caused you too much pain and I'm willing to accept all your punishment towards me until you will forgive me and accept me again as your mate.”

His eyes were full of emotions and I could hear his loud heartbeat, which is in synchronization with mine. It's surprising how our hearts could beat as one. He looked at me like I am the only girl in the world. I didn't say anything because all the girls in my head won't stay put. I was controlling myself because Xandra and the others wanted to kiss our mate. But I'm shy to do that. H*ck, I am not as bold as them.

I was about to say something when the light shining so brightly almost made us blind. Azrael and I were both stunned when a beautiful Goddess was walking towards where we stood. I couldn't take my eyes off of her because it is too good to be true. Who is this woman? Although, I couldn't see her face clearly because of the blinding light. I could feel the enormous power that radiates off her. When my sight adjusted to the light, I was completely puzzled to see the face of the woman. Though we have different eye colors, we still have the same features!

It was like I was looking in the mirror, but I am the young version of this woman in front of me. "Who are you?" I uttered unbelievably while staring at her face. The woman smiled sweetly at me. "I am the Moon Goddess, Selene,” she replied with a smile.

Azrael and I let out a loud gasp of surprise. Moon Goddess? Holy crap!

"M-Moon Goddess?" Azrael mumbled in awe and bowed his head as a sign of respect, but I couldn't bring myself to acknowledge the woman in front of me.

Why are we meeting the Moon Goddess? What is the meaning of this?

My gaze traveled from her head to toe and then to her face. The feeling is so surreal. It's like I've known her my whole life. Suddenly, I felt the urge to embrace the moon goddess, but I stopped myself.

She pointed her hand at Azrael and a light envelope at my mate and in an instant, Azrael already wore clothes. He had a plain white long dress for a man. I sighed in relief because I wouldn't be embarrassed to look at Azrael anymore.

The moon goddess looked at me and her gaze fixated on mine while smiling sweetly, then spoke, "I have waited for all of you for so long, my dear daughters.”

Her voice rang inside my head repeatedly and I was baffled.

"Pardon?"

She smiled and walked closer towards me. "This time has come and was destined. My daughters, let me show you who you really are and why you are here.” Even though I am so confused, I chose to hear what the Moon Goddess would say and why she was calling me her daughter. Did she know about my spirits? Of course, she knew because she is the moon goddess, stupid! But she calls us her daughters!

'l am dying to know what she means by that!’ Val uttered and the others agreed in unison.

I'm still fascinated by the Moon Goddess. Her beauty radiates off of her and she’s so intimidating. She's glowing too, like my wolf Xandra.

I nodded at her and she smiled again. She reached out for my hand and held it lovingly.

"Please let me make you all remember why we sent you below and were born again. That is your punishment for breaking the sacred rule.”

"What?" both Azrael and I mumbled in astonishment. All my spirits gasped and they couldn't believe what they've heard too, I was shocked, to say the least.

“I... 1 dont understand.” I said while shaking my head in confusion.

“I know..." she said and touched my face then my eyes glowed. And memories keep flashing in my head one by one. The memories that have been lost, forgotten, and erased.

*flashback*

I kept fidgeting in my seat as I waited for my mother. I have committed a grave sin, and I don't know what the consequences are. Well, not only me who has committed mistakes but also my five sisters, namely Xandra, Val, Willow, Damona and Demonise. Like me, they couldn't stay put in their seats because of nervousness. How would we face the wrath of our mother and all the council? “What will happen now?” Xandra said nervously while tapping on her foot and playing with her hands as she fidgeted.

“I'm sorry. This is all my fault. If I hadn't dragged you along with me, you wouldn't be punished too.” I said guiltily.

“No one must shoulder all the blame here, but all of us. And we must face the consequences of our sins. All we have to do is accept whatever punishment they will give us. Sis, it's not your fault, ok?” Damona said.

We all went quiet and sighed. The door busted open and a group of men and women came in with their heads held high. The councils! Some of them were eyeing us blankly. My heart rate quickens because of anxiousness. All of them were seated in their respective seats in front of us. My sisters and I sat in the chair that was used for interrogating in the middle of the room.

My mother looked at us worriedly but I know she couldnt do anything to save us again because this time, we break two of the sacred rules and that is losing the six powerful diamonds. To lessen our punishment, we must also find the diamonds. And also taking over the mating thing when it should be the role of our moon goddess mother, Selene. Because of our carelessness, we mated two powerful beings that shouldn't have mated together and because of that, the world below is in chaos. And because of us, there were a lot of hybrids mated together. The Gods and Goddesses were afraid that all hybrids would conquer the world together and humans would be in great danger.

Well, we did that years ago, and no one noticed. But no secrets will be kept forever because they have found out what we did. Of course, we only did what we did was right because we think that two hybrids deserve to find happiness. We didn't know it was a bad thing because those two hybrids wanted to rule the whole world and be feared by everyone. It was chaos because a lot of beings died. When those two hybrids mated together, they became a more powerful and undefeated couple.

Now, they are unstoppable, but when the hybrid woman got pregnant, their force weakened because everyone betrayed them and went against them. That's what I know from our mother, dearest.

All the council members looked at us full of judgment. The five of us held each other's hand while looking straight at the council and trying to be tough and calm.

“You have 5 minutes to explain yourselves.” Juno, one of the council, spoke calmly.

Five minutes? Seriously? I frowned.

"We don't have to explain ourselves anymore because you already know what we did and there's no use explaining our side because it was the truth. We will accept all your punishment towards us.” Demonise said nonchalantly and we let out a sigh.

“Well, in that case, be prepared for your punishment.” Mars, also one of the council, spoke.

We all nodded and didn't look at mother because for sure she will contradict our decision. My sisters and I are willing to accept the punishment we deserve. We're at fault, so we must pay for the consequences. We won't run away from our problems.

“What is our punishment?” I asked curiously.

Bacchus, one of the council, looked at me and said, “Since all of you had caused all the happening below, your mission is to bring back unity and peace to the whole world. But you must go down below and live in one of them, but you can’t remember where you came from.”

"What?!" we uttered in disbelief. This time I looked at my mother and sadness was visible on her face. I felt mad at myself for making my mother sad. As if we have a choice.

Mother sighed deeply and spoke, “The hybrid woman just died with her baby in her womb. With her death, it will bring more chaos and she will become a beast of a beast. You must stop her before it gets worse.” I frowned.

"How could we stop her from becoming a beast?” Willow asked, with a creased forehead.

Jupiter, the head of the council, cleared his throat and said, “All of you will be reborn. But as your punishment, you'll be living in one body and your soul will enter in the unborn baby inside the tummy of a hybrid woman.” We couldn't help but gasp in shock.

We will be reborn as the dead woman's baby?

I was about to speak when Damona spoke on our behalf. “Isn't she already dead?” Damona asked, baffled.

"Yes, but we will resurrect her for you to be reborn,” Minerva said.

"How can we all live in one body?” Damona said while frowning.

The councils grinned and then Mercury spoke, “All of you will become a spirit and can share with one body of that unborn child.”

We all went quiet until Val broke the silence. “If we are done with our mission, does it mean we can go back here?”

The council nodded their heads, “Of course. But it's up to you to decide what path you will all choose after your mission. Either you will go back here or you'll all stay in one body.” Venus said. "If we decide to go back, what will happen to the body?” Demonise asked.

“It will die,” Diana uttered.

We all fell silent, and I was thinking deeply about all the possibilities if we can't finish our mission. This mission is hard and I don't know if we will succeed. What if we fail? Are we going to live down below forever?

“But we have problems,” my mother said, and we all looked at her, waiting for her to continue. "Once you are all reborn, the hybrid woman wouldn't become a beast but the child.” my mother mumbled while looking at us worriedly.

“What? That means we will become a beast?!” my sisters, and I said in unison.

My mother continued, “Yes, but only one of you will suffer more. Only one of you will become a beast. You can choose who will inherit the power and blood of the beast. But there's a possibility that all of you will acquire the blood of the beast because you will also have the blood of the two powerful hybrids.”

My sisters and I looked at each other while frowning. Who is willing to become a beast? I don't want to be a beast, though.

"One more thing, your real power will awaken once a powerful being makes contact with you.” mother uttered while sighing.

I know it's against her will to punish us, but it was a decision made by the council, not just her. That night, we only hugged our mother once before they sent us below with no memories of the past.

*end of flashback*

My eyes returned to normal and my face was already stained with tears. My vision gets blurry because of the tears. When my gaze fixated on the woman in front of me, I burst into tears. “Mother!” I uttered as well as my sisters. We were all crying and I couldn't help but hug my mother tightly. Now that I remembered my past, I don’t know how to act anymore.

But why did mother bring back our memories? Did the councils know about this?

I frowned. Mother didn't break the rules too, right?
