Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 26

Third Person's POV

As the sea monster roared loudly, the waves furiously swayed the ship causing it to shake uncontrollably and nearly drowned out. But, Sabrina managed to cast a spell to fight the waves even though she found it hard to focus because of the continuous shaking of the ship.

Azrael and Layla were holding tightly to the big wheel, careful not to slip off. The wind also blew furiously that caused them to almost fall into the infuriated dark blue water. Layla screamed in fear to fall into the water. Good thing, Azrael managed to grip something sturdy and caught Layla that almost fell into the water. Layla was shaking and crying because of fear. It turns out Azrael was clinging into the big anchor. He was grateful for it because it saved their life from drowning.

Seeing how frightened everyone was, Alex was determined to kill the beast. She grabbed her necklace and took the round pendant. When the round object was in contact in her hand, it suddenly shone brightly and a long golden scythe with sharp blade revealed. Excitement filled her heart, and quickly maneuvered the scythe like a pro.

Sabrina saw Alex swinging her scythe and she couldn't help but be amazed. Excitement also filled her heart and casted a bow and arrow. Lifting it up, she focused to aim at the eyes of the two-headed snake water dragon.

"Azrael! Can you drive??!" Alex yelled because she was on the edge of the boat opposite Azrael and Layla who was still holding the anchor for their dear life. Azrael swallowed his saliva and nodded. Not wasting any time, he told Layla to grip at the anchor tightly while he made his way to the big wheel and started maneuvering it.

"I want you to get near the beast, Azrael!" Alex shouted again. Azrael froze.

"Are you insane, Alex?? How can I do that? I am not letting ourselves get killed! Or worse be that monster's dinner!"

"Ugh, just do what I said, Azrael! I have a plan, okay?" Alex yelled annoyingly. Azrael didn't say anything back and decided to obey his mate. As frustrating it may seem to him, he knew he trusted Alex. But, he was still shaking and nauseous. His wolf Khael decided to take over Azrael's body and skillfully maneuver the ship that made Alex smile.

The two headed snake let out a loud growl again and made the waves go higher causing their ship to go up too. Khael swiftly turned the wheel and let the ship flow by the current. Alex smirked knowing that was a perfect timing. Standing at the edge of the ship, her eyes glow brightly and her body almost as if burning in fire. But, yes, her body was burning in fire right now. But it wasn't the original fire, it was a blue and green fire which is much more dangerous than the actual fire. Her scythe was also burning with blue and green fire like they are one.

Alex closed her eyes to collect herself and when she opened her eyes, there's nothing you could read in them as it held nothing but a pure deadly fiery blue-green set of eyes like it would burn you to death.

The two-headed snake saw Alex approach but once the giant snake stared at Alex's eyes, it seemed petrified. When the sea monster was distracted by Alex, Sabrina released her arrow in a swift motion aiming at the monster's eyes.

Alex saw the arrow and she signed Sabrina to fire more arrows which the latter did in just a second. The first arrow hit the sea monster bull's-eye and their scream echoed more loudly causing the waves to sway furiously and uncontrollably. The ship almost fell down but luckily Khael managed to maneuver it back to it's position. Another arrow hit the monster and this time Sabrina releases more arrows.

Alex saw the patterns of the arrow and she jumped each one like she never weighs heavy. It's like she was a bird flying towards the direction of the monster. Layla's eyes widened in horror and shock but at the same time amazed at Alex. Of how she easily flew like she had wings. Alex is getting nearer and nearer to the beast and she grip tightly at her scythe and readied it.

Just as she calculated, the beast tried to attack her using its huge tails but Alex quickly avoided it as Sabrina continuously released more arrows. The arrows hit the snake tails and it roared painfully.

Layla's eyes widened in horror when the tail of the monster was going to hit the ship. She closed her eyes and readied herself to die right then and there. She thought they were going to drown, but that didn't happened. When she opened her eyes, the ship was no longer in front of the beast. She sighed in relief but her heart was still beating erratically in fear. Her eyes widened more when she saw Alex frequently jumping into the floating ice like stairs making its way to the beast while a burning scythe is on her hand taking its aim to the beast who was still roaring loudly in pain.

The beast's eyes were full of arrows that were thrown by Sabrina a moment ago.

Alex didn't waste any time and skillfully used her scythe to slice the two-headed snake to shreds. The beast excruciating cries stung their ears, almost making their ears bleed. But Alex still wasn't content, swaying the scythe into different movements, she lunged at the beast and sliced it into tiny pieces.

Surprisingly, the beast shone brightly and they saw something lifted up into the sky and exploded like fireworks. But, Alex gasped when something caught her eyes, she was stunned to see a small bright light coming her way swiftly. And in just a blink of her eyes, the light stopped in front of her and froze when it entered her wrist. But then, she noticed a tattoo in her wrists. It's a two-headed snake water dragon tattoo that made her flabbergasted. There's a slight burning sensation that runs through her veins but it fades quickly.

Alex was still breathing heavily while gripping her now bloody scythe. The thick black blood was burning by her blue-green fire. The awful smell of the burning blood scattered in the air causing them to cover their nose and feel nauseous.

Alex teleported herself into the ship and slammed herself to the wet floor while breathing heavily. The scythe suddenly shimmered and returned back to the round object. Alex quickly put back the round object on her neck.

The wind was now blowing normally like it should. The waves were nowhere and the silence enveloped them. Only their ragged breathing could be heard.

Layla was still gripping the anchor like her life depends on it. Azrael was also gripping the wheel tightly when Khael let him back. He had no idea what happened but Khael explained to him what happened.

Sabrina joined Alex and smiled proudly at her. Alex sat up and smiled at Sabrina. "That was…a mind-blowing fight!" Alex mumbled. Sabrina nodded in agreement.

Soon they bursted out laughing when they saw Layla still gripping the anchor tightly like a tarsier. Azrael joined the laughter and soon Layla laughed too. She quickly released her grip on the anchor in embarrassment even though she was still shaking from nervousness. But she was thankful to that anchor because it saved her life.

Their gaze diverted ahead. Now, they could almost reach the shore of the black rocky mountain island. The island is big and they have no idea what was in there. But they shared only one thought---they were hungry.

Alexandria's POV

After releasing my power earlier, I heard my tummy let out a grumble sound. Oh no, I'm hungry. But, I also heard three sounds of a grumbling tummies. We looked at each other and let out a laugh. Guess, we will find something to eat on that island.

The moment we reached the shore, I stalked out of the ship quickly and stretched my legs.

"How about the ship?" Layla uttered. Oh, right. That's the problem.

Nevertheless, we started walking towards where the beast is. I can still feel his presence though. When we get closer, that's when I notice a small entrance. I think it's a cave.

But, we stopped walking when suddenly, a huge round yellowish black glowing eyes opened in front of us. It was huge and it almost made me horrified. It shocked me to my core because I didn't expect it. And that entrance is not a cave, it's his big mouth.

Slowly, the ground started shaking and the beast was completely awakened. Uh oh, did I wake the beast?

We stepped backwards and I didn't know I was gripping Azrael's hand.

The beast was so huge when it stood up. It's another giant beast. But this time it has four feet. That's when I noticed that it was a huge black dragon with thorns in his back. I also noticed a smaller black dragon. I guess that's the one I saw earlier. Strange how the smaller black dragon was staring at my eyes. Suddenly, the smaller black dragon growled and released a small fire at the giant black dragon like he was saying something.

But I gasped when the smaller black dragon flew away when the giant black dragon shoved him out the way. I frowned while looking at the smaller black dragon who was now grunting in pain. I glared at the giant dragon. How dare he hurt her baby dragon??! I can feel my blood boils in anger.

The ground shook again when the giant dragon stomped her feet furiously and let out a loud growl causing us to cover our ears as it stung.

Okay, looks like this giant dragon wanted a fight. Thanks to the fruit because my lost energy came back. I looked at Sabrina and she sighed.

My eyes widened when I noticed the giant dragon was forming a fire in his throat.

"Run!" I yelled and held Layla and Azrael's hand. Sabrina ran ahead of us and we yelled when we almost got hit by the dragon's fire.

Suddenly, the smaller black dragon stopped in front of us and ushered us with his back. He was asking us to ride in his back? I smiled and jumped on his back. "Hurry!" I yelled to Sabrina, Azrael and Layla. I helped them up and before another fire would hit us, the smaller black dragon flew away quickly to avoid the coming fire.

Up above, I can see the whole island. It was huge. From up here, we can see the next river on the north side but due to the rain and the fog, I have a hard time seeing it clearly. The smaller black dragon was also having a hard time flying because of the rain. We were all soaked.

The loud sound of wings clattering caught my ears. I saw the giant black dragon flown higher towards us. But it's not just one but two giant black dragons. We didn't see that coming.

Now, what will we do?

'Let me in front, Alex.'
