Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 67

Third Person POV

As the sun sets into the horizon, the central city illuminates a lot of beautiful floating light colors. It was fascinating to see. But then it became chaotic as the time went by, because an angel suddenly got out of control on her own power—a light magic manipulator.

All the angels and magic users with weak magic in the southern magic realm tried their best to master their powers because only a few of them have mastered it. From the roof, Alice watched the struggles of some angels trying to control their powers. They were practicing all day and night, but there are still other angels who couldn’t control their powers. Alice remembers the day she got out of control of her power in promised land—that was 118 years ago.

**flashback**

Alice went out of her room, careful not to make any sounds as she walked through the dimmed hallway. “Cece, where are you going?” Willow mumbled while yawning. She was leaning in her room door without Alice noticing.

“Holy! Lulu??” Alice jumped while gasping in surprise.

Willow chuckled at her sister’s reaction, and then she glared at her. “Where are you sneaking in the middle of the night?” Willow asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Ah… ehehehe…" Alice scratched her neck as if she caught her in the act. Afraid they might wake their other sisters, Alice held Willow’s hand and before Willow could react, she teleported them in the mountain where there was an abundance of spiritual energy yet too strong to control the force even if you have powerful magic. Alice found the place when she roamed around to find some ingredients for her experiments. She called it Magic Mountain. It was the third time Alice went there, and she was still struggling to control the force.

“Cece, what are we doing here?” Willow asked and groaned because of the powerful force and wind that kept her off balance, but she tried not to fall down on the snowy ground.

“I found this place last month, and I discovered something,” Alice answered.

“What is it?” Willow asked, still keeping her balance.

Alice grinned and said energetically, “This is a perfect place to train my powers! I want to be stronger, Lulu!”

Willow went silent and stared at Alice, who had a big smile on her face while looking at her. “Why do you want to be stronger?” she asked. The smile on Alice’s face became bigger and said, “I want to find our father, Lulu,” Willow held her breath and stared at Alice’s smiling face.

“Okay! I will start my training now! Do you want to train your powers, Lulu?” Willow shook her head and said, “Nah, I’m not in the mood. Go ahead, I’ll just watch you from here.” Alice hummed and walked away from her slowly as she struggled to keep up with the powerful force. Since it’s her third time, she got a hang on the force. It took her an hour until she completely felt light and her body adapted to the temperature. She started controlling the air as her body absorbed the spiritual energy.

Willow just smiled while looking at her sister but gasped when Alice cast an air tornado, Alice got out of control of her power because her body absorbed too much spiritual energy. The air tornado went wild as Alice screamed at the top of her lungs because she was inside of her uncontrollable air tornado, swirling around. “Alice! Hang on!” Willow shouted and used her power to control the air tornado, but it just got worse when she also lost control over her power because, like Alice, her body absorbed too much spiritual energy. Willow groaned and closed her eyes while trying to control her overwhelming power.

Alice groaned and gritted her teeth while trying to control the air tornado. Her veins almost popped out as the force got stronger. She closed her eyes, trying to calm her nerves and senses. To control her overwhelming power, she has to be one with the wind and the strong spiritual energy. Her body danced along with the uncontrollable air tornado and kept up with the rhythm. It’s like she’s dancing with the wind.

Willow opened her eyes and saw Alice dancing with the wind. When she already controlled the force, her eyes widened as Alice’s body absorbed all the spiritual energy that surrounded the air tornado.

“Willow! I’m fine!” Alice said, smiling widely at her. Willow sighed and gave a thumb up to Alice. She almost gave her a heart attack, though. She just shook her head while smiling.

**flashback end**

Alice smiled at the memory and looked up at the illuminating sky and her eyes traveled to the two moon. As she lay down on the roof, alone and in deep thinking, she couldn’t help but feel the pressure of having a powerful power. Saving the magic realm again for the second time, put a lot of pressure on her and her sisters. They didn’t know if they could make it this time because she wouldn’t deny that their enemies got stronger for the past 100 years. They haven’t seen Yael or Samael yet, and the dark magna trio, so they should have to be more careful this time.

She heard a flutter of wings coming in her direction and instantly knew who was coming. She sat up and smiled as her gaze met with Azrael’s eyes.

“There you are! I was looking for you!” Azrael said and landed in front of her then sat beside her. Alice rested her head on Azrael’s shoulder while smiling, and Azrael wrapped her hand around her waist.

“It’s so beautiful up here,” Azrael uttered and leaned his head on Alice’s head.

“Yeah. Hmm, Azrael,”

“Yes?”

“Will you train with me?” Alice asked.

“Sure!” Azrael said with excitement and held Alice’s waist tightly, then made her sit in his lap. Alice’s eyes widened while her face flushed and looked at Azrael who was chuckling. Their gaze met while their hearts beat in synchronization. And before she could react, Azrael kissed her lips. She smiled between the kisses and responded.

Azrael deepened the kiss and after how many seconds, his lips traveled to Alice’s neck, then felt the urge to mark his mate. The feeling is so strong that’s why he broke off the kiss before he could go further and couldn’t stop himself. Their gaze met with so much intenseness. Azrael held his breath when Alice smiled and said, “Mark me, Azrael,”

Helix chuckled at the flustered Damona. “Mona—” Damona cut him off and said, “Go away from me, Helix.” Damona turned to look at him in the eyes. “We are enemies and it will stay that way.” she added coldly, but deep inside her hurts knowing her mate is her enemy.

Helix looked stunned and felt a pang of pain in his chest. He steps forward and in a flash, his face an inch away from Damona’s face. He caught her off guard causing Damona off balance and he swiftly caught her in his arms.

Their eyes met, and everything was in slow motion. Both lost in each other’s eyes, and could see through their soul. “Mona, I will never let you go. Never again. I was looking forward to seeing you again and now that you’re here, I will never let this chance go to tell you what I feel.” Helix said in a raspy voice that left Damona speechless.

Damona pushed Helix away and stood up straight but never breaking their eye contact. Helix words still linger in her mind and her heart race. Helix is too close to her and it made her heart go wild. What was happening to her? She gasped when Helix held her hand and brought it to his chest, then felt and heard his racing heart in synchronization with her. She looked at him incredulously and tried to find meaning in his actions.

“Mona, you can push me away all you want, but I’ll stick to you no matter what. You can hate me, curse me for being a cold-blooded devil, despise me as you like, but I’ll make you fall in love with me.” Helix said with all his heart poured out. For the first time, Damona saw a deep mixed emotion in Helix’s eyes.

Damona closed her eyes, trying to sink in Helix words. It made her heart beat faster and somehow those words bring warmth to her heart. She fluttered her eyes open and stared back at him, “Why?” she mustered.

Helix smiled and stared at her intensely, “I’m always in love with you, Damona.” he said.

“What?” Damona whispered in shock. She didn’t expect Helix would confess his feelings. She gasped when Helix put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. His breath fanning on her face and his intoxicating scent sent a shiver down her spine.

Helix looked at her lips and the next thing she knew, their lips pressed together. She closed her eyes and responded to the kiss while tears rolled down her face as she realized something. She hated him not because he is their enemy, but because he made her feel different after he stole her first kiss. It frustrates her because they are enemies and he is her biggest rival. Like Demonise said, she couldn’t accept that she fell in love with the cold-blooded devil, Helix. She broke off the kiss while panting. Helix gasped when he saw the tears on Damona’s face.

“Mona, I’m sorry—” Damona cut him off using her fingers and stared at his eyes, “I hate you, Helix.” she said and smiled while wiping her tears.

Helix froze and pouted. “We kissed, and you still hated me?” he said.

Damona smiled and pulled away from him, “Idiot. I hate you.” she said and turned her back from him, then looked up at the moon while smiling.

“Thank you, mother. You are the best mother in the world.” she whispered and then turned back to Helix, her other half. She took a step forward and surprised Helix with a kiss. It brought a smile to Helix’s lips and captured her full lips. Little did Helix know, Damona’s ‘I hate you’ means ‘I love you’.
