REJECTED MATE : CHAPTER 21 – 30
[THE ENEMY WITHIN]
“Take me to the Palace, I need to get my sight back,” he ordered, standing upright.
The shaman stepped forward and carefully placed a hand on his shoulder.
“I will go speak to her first, then you can come,” The Shaman said gently.
“I should go back to the palace before the queen notices my absence,” Puppy said spoke up, she was too tempted to kiss Jericho but she controlled herself.
She will still get him sooner or later.
Walking out of the door she met Viper and he smirked at her before walking away.
REJECTED MATE : CHAPTER 21 – 30
ALPHA PHARAOH’S PEAK
In the midst of the trees, Prince Jasper and his demon slayer appeared, moving through the forest like shadows.
They were dressed in black, their faces covered by hoods, and they moved with the speed and grace of predators. In their hands, they held weapons that glinted in the moonlight, their blades sharp and deadly.
They were slayers indeed, trained to fight the creatures of darkness that lurked in the shadows and tonight, they had a mission, to destroy Alpha Pharoah’s stronghold and end the terror he had brought to their people.
As they approached the stronghold, Hazel stepped through a tree branch but her body suddenly caught fire, burning intensely. Owen and Asher who were by her side stopped on their tracks, shocked at the sight in front of them.
There wasn’t any fire nearby so why was she burning?
“Hazel!!” Imogen called, rushing to her but the flame threw her far away, Sending her crashing into a tress and she landed with a thud.
“Argh!!” She groans, dragging herself up almost immediately.
“Argh!!!” Hazel let out a horrific scream, pain, and agony radiating through her.
She hadn’t gone for radiant when others went for it and she just paid with her life.
“Hazel!” Imogen panicked, running closer to her, but Prince Jasper swiftly grasped her hand, pulling her back.
She fought him, trying to go over to her sister.
By the time she freed herself from him, Hazel dropped to the ground, a large hole dugged on her chest by the flame, her body grey, lips dry, and hair burnt out.
Imogen clasped her hand over her mouth, nothing could have prepared her for this, nothing!
Her sister was dead! Right before her eyes, her little sister had dîêd, the only family she has left was gone.
As if opening an old wound, she shifted into a Syfy-wolf, bigger than her original form. She snarled, her claws unsheathing from its massive paws, eyes glowing in the night.
“I think it’s black magic,” Marran mumbled slowly.
Hazel turned into mist and before they could know it and Imogen charged forward, moving with incredible speed, lunging towards the Peak with a roar of fury.
“Imogen!!!” Others drew their swords, charging after her.
The first guard that saw them coming wasn’t lucky enough cos she tore his neck from his body.
Blood went up and down, spilling like water as she leaped on another guard, shoving her claw into his chest, she dug out his chest.
Soldiers from her left side opened fire, shooting arrows at her without delay, she began Dodging like a pro she was. Suddenly an arrow went Into her shoulder and she howls in pain.
As if that wasn’t enough another came into her belly, then another on her right arm
She howled, winching in pain as she tried to maintain her stand but an arrow was coming right at her forehead, she looked up, helplessly, her eyes dimmed and her animal spirit imagined the worst but Niko shoved her out of the way and the arrow went straight Into his back.
He tightened his teeth to suppress the pain.
MEANWHILE,
Declan flew from behind in his eagle form, chopped off their heads with his fans, before landing gracefully on top of a roof that wasn’t burning.
Xander dodged an attack and slashed Alpha Pharaoh’s men with his sword. The Wolf howled in pain, its blood dripping onto the ground. But it was not deterred, and it lunged at Xander again, this time with more ferocity.
Xander twisted himself and…. Slash… he chopped off his head instantly.
More were still coming for him so he took off.
“He’s getting away,” one of Alpha Pharaoh’s men should but an arrow went straight into his mouth, it came from Lyla.
Her eyes met with Xander and he nodded at her. Leaping in the air, he shifted Into a large fox, attacking the first prey he got his hands on.
Others began shoving their knives at him but he made sure to rib off the person’s neck before shoving others away with fury in his eyes
Niko kicked the door open and a family was sleeping under the chaos but immediately they saw him, they jerked up, fear and terror in their eyes.
“Who….” The woman wasn’t able to finish her statement before he chopped off her head, her mate glanced at Niko and with full force shifted into a wolf but he wasn’t Chanced cos Niko shoved his blade Into his belly at once
Outside fire goes up, screams, sorrows, and agony fill the air, swords swag and heads roll, lifeless bodies fill the peak and almost all the buildings are on fire
Men, women, and children did not escape. Sword clashed, it was a full blood bath.
One of Pharaoh’s warriors took off and Owen ran after him, he wasn’t so fast cos Asher, the centaur grabbed his collar from behind and chopped off his head.
Meanwhile, Alpha Pharaoh was in his camp resting when he heard noises, he twisted his eyes and sat up, wondering why his men would be disturbed at this hour of the night.
Suddenly, one of his men ran in.
“Alpha, we have been ambushed,” he delivered
Pharaoh quickly rushed past him, standing at the entrance of his tent only to meet a full flag battle. Swords clashed, heads rolling, his men falling, blood spilling.
Their peak flag has gone down and was replaced with Queen Lumira’s kingdom’s flag.
His eyes swung to the side and that was exactly when Xander ripped out his son’s heart, from his chest.
“No!!!” He drew his sword, running into the battlefield.
His eyes glowed with a cruel light.
Jasper suddenly blocked his way… Smirking
The air was filled with the scent of blood and sweat, The two Alphas glared at each other, their muscles tense, ready for the next move. Suddenly, Pharaoh roared, his voice thundering through the air, and he charged at Jasper, claws outstretched.
Jasper barely had time to react, but he rolled out of the way, just as Pharaoh’s claws missed their target, but he was undeterred. He spun around, his eyes blazing with rage, and lunged at Jasper again.
This time with his teeth bared. Jasper leaped to the side, but not fast enough to avoid Pharaoh’s jaws. Pharaoh’s fangs sank deep into his shoulder, tearing through his flesh.
Jasper let out a howl of pain, and his blood mingled with Pharaoh’s saliva, creating a trail of crimson on the ground.
The prince stumbled backward, but Pharaoh’s jaws were still firmly clamped around his shoulder. With great effort, Jasper twisted his body Until he was facing Pharaoh.
With a growl, he brought his claws down on the Pharaoh’s arm, tearing at the flesh, Blood oozed out instantly.
Pharaoh let out a roar of pain, his grip on Jasper loosening.
Jasper saw his chance, and with a powerful kick, he sent Pharaoh flying backward.
The Alpha landed heavily, and for a moment, he lay still. Jasper stood, his shoulder bleeding profusely, but he refused to let the pain slow him down. He should be healing by now but how strange he wasn’t.
He turned to face his enemy once more, his heart racing, adrenaline coursing through his veins.
Pharaoh was getting to his feet, his eyes filled with hatred.
“You dare with my son,” Alpha Pharaoh roared.
“In the name of the queen,” Jasper replied, maintaining eye contact.
“You serve a woman…”
“I serve the crown,” he corrected
“You’re supposed to alley with me, let’s fight and get your throne back,” Alpha Pharaoh roared, pointing fingers at Jasper.
“I’m only here for your head and I shall take it back to my queen,” Jasper lunged and Pharaoh charged towards him too, both men collided, throwing themselves off their feet.
As Jasper and Pharaoh grappled on the ground, they were unaware of another figure approaching.
Imogen, the strongest female warrior in the land, she has been watching the battle from afar and She has been waiting for her moment to strike, and now, she saw her chance.
With a lightning-fast move, she leaped onto Pharaoh’s back, sinking her claws into his flesh deeper and deeper, and then she pulled.
Pharaoh roared in pain, and Jasper took advantage of the distraction to roll away. Pharaoh flung Imogen far away and she crashed into one of the tents not far away.
He roared in pain, staggering around as if looking for something to hold until.
“In the name of the queen,” With a flash of steel, Jasper drew his sword, and in one swift motion, he decapitated Pharaoh. His head rolled to the ground, his eyes still wide with rage.
MEANWHILE,
Marran was surrounded by four wolves who had beaten the hêll out of her.
“Hold!!” Jasper suddenly roared, loud enough for everyone to hear.
They all paused, each still holding his or or her opponent. He raised Pharaoh’s head to the air before speaking.
“Pharaoh is Down!!” He delivered, holding the head firmly in his hand by its hair with blood dripping from it.
The remaining of Alpha Pharaoh’s men began to retreat but they weren’t given the chance. Violet was busy releasing arrows, taking down three at a time, and in no time all were gone.
“Marran!” Owen rushed to her.
She was weak with wolfs beats all over her body but immediately she saw him, her lips curved into a smile.
“You’re greatly injured,” he said worriedly.
Violet and others joined, looking back at the bodies filled on the ground.
“He brought this upon his peak,” Violet said, staring at Alpha Pharaoh’s head.
“I found the black magic and destroyed it!” Declan joined them.
“Why aren’t we healing?” Niko joined the cycle
They all looked at their injured places and truly they weren’t healing, it didn’t take time for their wounds to heal so why now?
As if coming back to his senses Prince Jasper looked around.
“Imogen!” He called when he didn’t see her.
“She went slaying,” Marran replied.
“And y’all let her, Obiden will use his draedens to feed on her,” he said restlessly and began looking around.
They were silent.
“Which way did she go?” He asked no one in particular, like a captain addressing his recruits.
“That way,” Marran pointed toward the east and he took off.
“Imogen!! Imogen!!!”
MEANWHILE,
Imogen had been knocked to the ground by Lyla and Asher, forcing her to shift back I to human but before she could react Asher has already bind her with ropes.
As though she was a wood to be sold.
“Bîtch!” Lyla smacked her hard across the face.
Imogen chuckled.
“Let me lose let’s fight it out….” She was still saying when Lyla shoved her blade into her belly.
“Argh!!” She let out a painful scream but Asher quickly covered her mouth with his palm, tearing off a piece of his clothes, he shoved it into her mouth.
“I fûçking hate you!” Lyla twisted the blade, blood pulling out and forming a puddle on the ground around her feet.
“Why does everyone think you’re the strongest female warrior? Huh?” She twisted it again.
Imogen winched in pain, whimpering with her eyes closed as she tried to take it in.
“I fûçking hate you!” Lyla pulled out her blade but then stabbed her again at the same place.
She’d expected Imogen to cry but to her shock, Imogen began laughing.
Lyla and Asher exchanged glances as she pulled out the blade and stabbed her again making her laugh harder.
“You wîtch!!!!” She began shoving the blade in and out of her at full speed. Her eyes filled with jealousy and hatred.
By the time she stopped, Imogen was barely breathing, her blood had formed a little river around her feet and the most shocking thing was that she wasn’t healing.
Her strength was leaving her, her vision blurry.
“I will end you here and no one will notice, I will do it clean and perfect just the way I kîllêd your parents,” Lyla said leaning closer to her ears.
Imogen’s sleeping eyes flew open instantly.
“You like that?” Lyla laughed sarcastically.
Imogen began laughed again, spitting out blood.
“Nothing you say can break me, I’m already dead inside so quit trying,” she laughed again.
A sinister smirk crossed Lyla’s face.
“Oh really? Well, it might interest you to know how I slayed them…” Imogen’s eyes snapped to her face and she smirked.
“Yes! It was fun watching your mother scream and beg as I fûçk her with a blade, hahaha, It was the best feeling ever. You know what she said to me… No! That will waste my time. your Dad? He was helpless, watching the love of his life… Oh, I’m so emotional,” Lyla faked sad tears and wiped her eyes.
“You lying slût, I hunted those that destroyed my family and I slayed them, I took me five years but I was sure to take them down, one by one,” Imogen gritted her teeth, pushing away the pain she felt in her heart.
Lyla laughed like a wîtch.
“You seem to forget one,” She chuckled evilly
Enraged, Imogen pulled herself, trying to break off the ropes binding her and but Asher’s stronghold didn’t let her and she was weak, she had been cut mercilessly.
“You’re a Mage,” she finally mumbled as though she didn’t want it to be true, she can’t be held by an enemy… No, not now!
Long ago therians and their traditional enemies ‘The Mage’ joined forces. each race mortgaging most of its power in a desperate bid for victory over the high demon satanian, imprisoning him and his demon armies once and for all in the enchanted demon blade. Known as the “Demon blade”
when the battle was over, only one therian from each of the ancient animal lines still retained the strength of his animal and the ability to shift.
today there were only 9 demon slayers, they were all that stood between Satanian and his feared and far most dangerous bid for freedom from his magical prison.
somehow the leader of the Mage has become infected with a bit of powerful dark spirit, what some believed to be a whisper of Satanian very consciousness. through that dark spirit, they fear Satanian now control the Mage leader and through him the whole Mage.
The soulless Mage sorts only one thing, the freedom of Satanian and his evil hordes. if the Mage succeeded, life as the world knew it would end…
Lyla laughed so hard her voice echoed around the lonely Field.
“Surprised? Well, Hazel. Your cute little warrior sister. I gave her the wrong info about the radiant time so she didn’t come for radiant and guess what happened after that? She gave her life for us, isn’t that wonderful?” Lyla asked, clapping both hands with a satisfying smirk on her lips.
“You!!” Imogen howled, trying to shift into her animal but she was weak and her animal spirit seemed to be far away.
What have they done to her? Lyla and Asher were Mage, does the queen know? Do they have dark magic? This isn’t good at all.
Where are the others? Why aren’t they searching for her? The Mage wants to destroy the warriors so they will gang up on the queen now that she doesn’t have a Mate.
“No! This can’t happen,” Imogen’s voice was weak as she tried to straighten herself and connect with others but nothing was happening.
“Haha, don’t try connecting with them cos you’re mine to slay,” Lyla laughed like a wîtch, clapping both hands.
“What even makes you the strongest female warrior? What?” Lyla drew her sword.
Imogen couldn’t move, she was too weak and her vision was blurred. She can only feel.
“Lyla, you don’t wanna do this…”
“Says who?” Lyla laughed like a maniac.
“You’re a Therian and am Mage, ENEMIES…”
“You’re not Mage, you under a spell,” Imogen said softly, she can’t let the Mage get her, no she can’t.
She’d always thought they never got along cos they hated each other’s guts but she never imagined her destroying her family and being a Mage.
If she ever came out of this alive then one thing is certain, Lyla’s head was hers!
Asher pulled her up by her hair and…
“Lyla…. ugh!!”
Lyla shoved her sword into her chest, blood spilled out of her mouth, dripping on her chest, her eyes reddish with tears lingering at the corner.
“Sleep now, sleep tight, and don’t worry cos I will take very good care of Jasper,” Lyla replied and Imogen fall on her, she ran her hand up and down her back shoving the sword deeper.
“You really gonna slay her? Let’s just erase her memories and leave her….”
“Shut up, Asher! we have been discovered so it’s best we do away with her….”
