REJECTED MATE : CHAPTER 51 – 60
By Rosy Johnson
[REASON FOR HER PAINS]
“A fûçking snake!” Queen Lumira already wide eyes widened even more, insanely.
Like, WTF!
Jericho’s staggered without being pushed, they’d said he was the mate so what happened? Why didn’t his hand glow when he walked into the cycle? Why was it Viper?
He looked around and the satisfying smirk on Viper’s face said it all.
“So, you’re my mate,” Viper said to the queen, smiling sheepishly.
He turned around again and his gaze met with Jericho’s and he smirked, remembering what he did.
~~
FLASHBACK~
“We can’t let her get him! We can’t!!” Puppy said, pacing Around the room in the warriors chamber.
“I Know, but you can still have another….”
“I want him, he’s the one for me, he’s the one I Love and mind you, if we let her seal their mating bond she’s going to be unstoppable and gaze what? All our hard works will be in vain!!” Puppy sneered, trying to get the words Into Vipers head.
Viper held his jaw as if considering it.
“It’s too risky,” he said after much thoughts.
“What are you?” She stopped in front of him so he looked up at her
“A pûssy? Be a man and do what you’re supposed to do!” She snapped furiously.
He scratched the back of his head.
FAST FORWARD~
Viper had the demon blade on Jericho’s chest, pulling it out he drank from it, mumbling some chants.
When he was done he glanced at Jericho before walking away.
“Is it done?” Puppy asked desperately.
She’s waiting outside and keeping watch.
“Yeah, what now?”
~~~~~
FLASHBACKS ENDS
“I am the new king, bow to me,” Viper spread both arms.
Queen Lumira walked out of the cycle and his brother followed.

PALACE
“Where are you? Come out now!” Queen Lumira said pacing around.
She’s already in the dark room.
She paced to the door and back but nothing happened.
“Come out Goddess!!!” She snarled.
Another three minutes went by and nothing happened.
“You told me it was him, did you just want me to fûçk around? Was that it? A snake! A damn fûçking snake of all animals!” She nearly screamed out her lungs.
She stopped at the center and inhaled deeply then exhaled. She didn’t want to believe it but the ritual has proven it.
It was the only way to confirm who her mate was.
She wanted a low rank shape shifter but a snake?? Who the fûçk is that! Maxima was a Lion.

GIRLS DOM
Violet was about Opening the door when another hand grabbed her wrist. She froze, then looked up to see Declan.
“Declan,”
“Hey, was wondering if we could grab a drink,” he said awkwardly.
“It’s close to three in the morning,” she replied softly.
He glanced at his wristwatch, letting go of her.
“Oh, maybe tomorrow?” He asked, hoping and wishing she will just say ‘yes’
He’d had a crush on her for a long time now but she just can’t look at him.
“Alright, have a good night,” she walked in
“YES!!” He jumped in excitement, walking away and dancing to his own song.
Violet got in to see Quinn still reading, she didn’t want to pick a fight so she just went to her own bed and fall on it.
Surprisingly, Quinn dropped the book she was reading and came over to her own bed. Violet was laying on her stomach with her back facing up so she cross her legs over her and began massaging her back.
“What happened out there?” She asked softly.
“Viper is the queen’s mate,” she replied
“What!!!” Quinn screamed, eyes wide.
Violet shifted her body as if to sit up and Quinn got off her.
“A snake!” Quinn’s eyes widened insanely.
“That’s how we saw it,” Violet replied with a slow nod. But her gaze was on Quinn’s lips.
“How… Is that even possible? Maxima was a Lion so why a snake now….”
“Quinn, let’s forget about them and talk about us,” Violet Interrupted, shifting closer to her.
Quinn looked at her like a joke, she lifted her hand to her chest in a hand gesture then squeezed up her face.
“Us? What do you mean us?” She asked
“Us, I mean this,” Violet peak her lips, she made to pulled away but Quinn held her neck and they looked Into each other’s eyes.
“Violet, I really like Niko and I’m feeling like a bad person for not reciprocating your feelings, I mean… You’re so nice to me and all that but I don’t think I can stop Liking Niko,” Quinn explained softly.
Violet caressed her cheeks with tenderness, still staring Into her eyes.
“Then you can date him, I don’t mind,” She slammed her lips on hers. Quinn wrapped her arms around her neck and Violet pulled her closer by her waist.
“Have been craving for you for so long,” Violet said breathlessly, deepening the kiss as she yanked Quinn’s clothes off her.
“Wait…. Wait… Wait!” Quinn disengage from her kiss “we are not having sêx are we?” She asked.
“Oh, I em… Uhh…. If you don’t want want,”
“Was kidding,” she chuckled.
In the next scene they were both naked in bed, laying on both their side. Violet had her finger going in and out of Quinn who’s close to her release.
The door suddenly burst open and….
“Quinn?!” Niko’s voice came through the door.

NEXT MORNING
Xander drank from the bottle in front of him then lowered his head.
He has been drinking all night long and right now he’s head is in a mess.
“Why can’t it just be me?” He smacked his chest bitterly “I waited all these years, doing everything to please her, so why?” He drank from the liquor bottles again.
“I was there before Maxima, She used to say she like me but once Maxima came she stopped being nice to me and when he dîêd she started opening up to me even though it’s a little bit, then human came and she Changed again and now Viper, a damn fûçking snake!” He mumbled under his breath, tears slid down his eyes but he didn’t bother to wipe them.
“I think I need that too,” A voice said, walking in through the door.
Niko took the liquor from him then drank it all.
“Goddess is not being nice to us,” he lamented.
“I Know right, but what’s your deal?” Xander asked drunkenly, resting his right hand on Niko’s shoulder.
“I caught Quinn and Violet making out,” he replied.
Xander hissed, waving a dismissive hand over his hand.
“Old story, come up with something new,” he mumbled, taking another liquor bottle.
“Do you like Quinn then?”
“I dunno”
“Goddess is cruel to me,” Xander mumbled, drinking from his liquor bottle.

2 HOURS LATER~ THRONE ROOM
“Her Majesty, he deserves dêâth, he’s a traitor to this kingdom,” Prince Jaspers said, his voice menacing.
“Her Majesty I think we should call the shaman to confirm,” Hawk objected.
“What’s the need of a shaman when we all know what he did?” Viper spoke up.
He’s currently standing right beside the queen on her throne, shoulders held high.
“I think Viper is right, he might be working for Obiden and the more we wait the more danger it is to us,” Puppy suggested
“Shut up Puppy, you’re not allowed to speak cos you’re not one of us so k of your place!” Prince Jasper rasped.
Puppy swallowed hard.
“My apologies, my Prince….”
“Just shut it!!!” Prince Jasper shot her a hard glare.
She nodded and held her mouth.
“Her Majesty, I think I will agree on Hawk this time, though I saw him yesterday laying almost lifelessly, stabbed in his heart but I don’t think a human who just came into our kingdom knows a thing about the demon blade,” Imogen said from where she’s standing.
“I stabbed him,” Viper said almost immediately.
Every looked at him.
“Yesterday, we had a fight. After I caught him, he wanted to do away with me but I fought him that’s how I ended up stabbing him and running for my life,” he explained, sympathetically.
“Lemme get one thing straight,” Imogen came closer.
“There is nothing to get straight other than he’s a traitor and should be slaughtered,” viper interrupted almost immediately.
“I think we should find out how he got the knowledge of the blade and how he was able to defeat the guard and took it,” Hawk said.
They all looked at the queen who wasn’t saying a thing through out the entire argument.
“I agree with Hawk, Hawk get the Shaman and tell him to meet me in the dungeon,” Queen Lumira went down her throne and they all exchange glances.
Immediately Hawk shifted to a bird, flying out of the open window.
She went into her inner chamber and they began leaving.
Outside they met Lyla and Asher just coming towards the palace.
“Is the meeting over already?” Asher asked, staring from one person to another.
“Slût,” Lyla winked at Imogen.
“What did you just call me?” Imogen stepped forward.
“You kissed the other human last night, deny it,” Lyla dared, taking four steps closer.
Imogen shifted her gaze to the side only to behold Prince Jaspers hard gaze, she swallowed nothing and made to walk away but Lyla grabbed her arm.
Without full force, Imogen shoved her, so hard she staggered back but didn’t fall, With a sudden burst of speed, Lyla charged forward, her claws aimed for Imogen’s throat. Imogen dodged the attack, and the two collided in a blur of fur and fangs shifting to their wolves form.
The sound of their snarling filled the clearing, as they grappled for dominance.
Lyla’s teeth snapped at Imogen’s neck, but she managed to twist away at the last moment. Imogen’s claws raked across Lyla’s side, leaving bloody streaks in their wake.
Lyla let out a howl of pain and rage, and renewed her attack with even greater ferocity.
The two wolves rolled across the ground, their limbs tangling together in a blur of motion.They two struggled on, their bodies coated in dirt and sweat.
Lyla’s breath came in heavy gasps, and Imogen’s muscles were beginning to tire. But neither wolf was willing to give in.
If not anything, Imogen wanted to disfigure her.
With a mighty heave, Lyla threw Imogen off of her, sending her sprawling across the ground.
Imogen scrambled to her feet almost immediately, blood dripping from her muzzle. She looked at Lyla, her eyes burning with a steely resolve.
The two wolves circled each other once more and at this moment Lyla was done.
With a roar, Imogen pounced, her jaws clamping down on Lyla’s neck. Lyla let out a yelp of pain, but she was not done yet. She twisted and turned, trying to throw Imogen off but Imogen held on, her grip like a vice. Then, with a sudden jolt, she ripped away the flesh on Lyla’s shoulder.
Blood flowed freely like a stream with Lyla’s flesh stuck in her claws.
“Cut!!” Prince Jasper shouted.
Lyla and Imogen locked eyes, none making an attempt to back down.
“I said cut it out! It’s an order!!” He roared.
Imogen was the first to shift back Into her human form, now standing naked. Lyla shifted back too.
“This isn’t over,” Lyla snarled.
“Lyla!!” Prince Jasper called with a warning tone.
She ignores him.
“I challenge you to a drew, today, sundown,” Lyla barked, stepping towards Imogen.
Prince Jasper grabbed her hard but Imogen shook it off.
“Bring it on!!”
REJECTED MATE : CHAPTER 51 – 60
A LITTLE WHILE ~ DUNGEON
Jericho sat huddled in the corner of the dungeon, his body bruised and aching from the bêâting he had endured.
As he looked around the dungeon, he could see nothing but shadows, and the only sound was the drip of water from the ceiling.
He shivered in the cold, and tried to wrap his arms around himself for warmth, but it was no use.
All he could feel was the pain, and the weight of his despair. But still, that didn’t match up to the pain in his heart.
He felt a familiar presence and looked around in panic, had they come to finish him off?
At first he saw a silhouette and then a fireball in someone palm, the whole room lit up.
“Smiley,” he called surprised that she’d come to see him.
Queen Lumira was silent, just staring at him. Outside the dungeon was Puppy her handmaid waiting for her.
“Get up!” Her voice was cold, as though she felt nothing at all.
Jericho’s glanced up at her.
With the light coming from her palm he was able to see her face clearly in the dark.
“I can’t, I body hurts,” he replied, lowering his head.
Jericho had a crack on the iron door and he saw a guy walked in. The light coming from the queens palm doubled.
Who was this guy?
He knew it, he should have known she was of evil and was gonna kîll him anyway.
“Took you so long to discover how evil I can be,” she said, shifting back a little bit
He looked at her, fûçk! She could read his thoughts?
The guy came forward and held Jericho’s forehead, then close his eyes in concentration.
It’s actually the shaman and Jericho has never seen him. The other time they met, Jericho was blind.
“Is he clear?” Queen Lumira asked.
“I don’t feel any dark magic,” the shaman replied
“And….. I feel rage,” he opened his eyes.
“His animal spirit is furious, you need to call him into his animal,” he added.
“Will do that tomorrow,”
The shaman nodded and left.
She glanced at Jericho.
“They will come get you once I’m out,” She uttered and reached for him but he slip away, shifting to another side.
She raised her brows but said nothing, queen Lumira tried reaching for him again but Jericho moved away, her hand met the air.
“What are you doing?”
“I don’t wanna get healed, so don’t try,” he said emotionally
Why does she always have to heal his wounds, she keeps acting like she cares but she doesn’t actually care.
“Okay,”
just one word, was her reply and she the turned, heading towards the door. Was she fûçking kidding him?
“Smiley,” he called just when she was about to cross the door.
She paused then turn to look at him.
“Have you ever, even the smallest in the slightest way, just for a tiny second LIKE ME,” he asked, watching her closely as if to read her reactions.
She disappointed him by keeping a blank expression.
“No, there is no reason for that,” She replied
Jericho close his eyes, that hurts his feelings, does the lady not care?
“Back there… In your room the other day, I saw it! Loneliness. you want people around you but you’re just afraid…..”
“I fear nothing!!!” She interrupted.
He snorts
“I saw it, no one else might have seen it but I did. Is it because you kîllêd him? Prince Maxima?” He asked boldly.
He’s gonna get back at her by using her dead husband.
“I did not kîll Maxima!” Queen Lumira said, trying her possible best to keep calm, good heavens he was getting on her nerves and she doesn’t like it.
“Then who did? If you didn’t kîll Maxima who kîllêd him?…”
She titled her head.
“So you think this is what I want for myself?” She walked back inside “Do you know how many centuries I had to sleep alone, wake up alone, crave for companionship? you think I want to have the weight of this whole kingdom on my shoulders alone? You think I want to receive and review thousands Royal invitations alone? You think I wanted to put myself in this pain that is ripping my head off? you think I want to make all the decisions alone, shut myself out, become bitter, not go out by day, not being touched or touch anyone romantically. you think I want all this? Do you know how hard it was to watch him dîê?” She asked all in one word. Her lips trembling, her hands shaking but she fought to keep her stand.
“I tried, I warned him but he wouldn’t listen, okay? He fûçking made me do it and then what?” She sucks in breath.
“My demons, those jealous creatures tear him apart right before my own eyes and I couldn’t do a thing, for….. For six hundred….” She sucks in another breath, her whole body visibly shaking.
She stopped talking, she’d already spoken more than she should and right now she’s fighting for control.
Jericho was silent, many thoughts running through his mind…
Why did her Demons kîll Maxima? What does she mean by he asked her to? What did he ask her to do? What did she warn him against? What where they doing? What did he do? Why was her demons jealous? Why didn’t she do anything? Those questions ran through his mind but he had no answer to them.
“Smiley,” he reached for her but she vanish into thin air.
“Fûçk!!” He cursed, running his hand over his hair.
“Pretty boy, it’s me Viper,” Viper spoke from outside the iron bar.
