REJECTED MATE : CHAPTER 71 – 80
By Rosy Johnson
[HER DOWN FALL]
“I don’t care, I want you,” she entrapped his lips in an uninvited kiss and that was exactly when the queen remember her food flasks and turn.
Her face flushed with rage but she tightened her teeth, taking steady steps towards them she grabbed the food flasks from where he kept it and began walking away.
Her heart pounding, rage cascaded through her and she wanted to burn something, strike someone or something to dêâth.
“He’s not yours,” her subconscious mind whispered.
Yeah, of course, and why the fûçk was she triggered?
“Damn it,” she increase her pace but the kiss kept coming back into her head again.
The ritual provide Jericho wasn’t hers so Puppy kissing him shouldn’t make her mad, after all he doesn’t belong to anyone and will soon go back to his world.
She better stop requesting for him cos there’s no way she’s Sharing a man with her handmaid. Never!
MEANWHILE
Jericho disengage from her kiss then wipe his lips, her didn’t like her taste, she tasted like lemon cake
“Hey, don’t do that again,” he said seriously, still wiping his mouth.
“I like you and I’m willing to do anything till you notice me,” Puppy said and he raised one eye brow.
She was high?
Right before his eyes she began stripping, Jericho watched, unable to move still her robe dropped down her feet, leaving her expose in his watchful eyes.
“Fûçk me,” she stepped forward, caressing his chest.
He grabbed her hands and push her back slightly.
“See, you’re a fine woman with good body but I’m a brêâst guy…”
“I have brêâst, just touch it,” she interrupted lifting his hand to her chest.
He withdraw his hand quickly.
“No you don’t have brêâst, what you have is a corner stône,” He replied with hand gestures.
“What? What does that even mean?” She frowned.
“I’m not body shaming you but you know all those shapeless stones builders used to hold a block from falling off? It’s mostly out of shape….”
“Are you calling my brêâst shapeless?” She cut him off in a sad tone.
Puppy bent over and picked her robe…
“No, I said it’s a corner stône,” he correct, putting both hands in his trousers pocket.
“That’s not nice Pretty boy,” she shouted hurtfully, walking away.
Jericho scoffed.
“Told you I’m a brêâst guy and you’re saying I’m not fair, I love brêâst so what about that? Yours is not impressing,” he hissed and rolled his eyes.
“Hey, Pretty boy,”Declan slapped his shoulder playfully.
They both began walking away.
REJECTED MATE : CHAPTER 71 – 80
THRONE ROOM
The throne room was silent, the only sound the soft rustle of fabric as queen Lumira strode into the room, stopping in front of the assembled council.
She was furious, her face flushed with anger, her eyes blazing with intensity. The members of the council sat still as statues, their faces betraying no emotion.
They knew better than to question the queen’s judgment.
“We have a grave matter to discuss,” she said, her voice cold and commanding, as she face the council.
“A warrior has disobeyed my orders, and as a result, others will want to follow her footsteps,” she added.
A hush fell over the room, the air tense and heavy with anticipation.
Even Prince Jasper was confused as why she returned to her cold self.
The queen’s gaze fell on Imogen who’s standing at the back of the room.
“What have you to say for yourself?” she demanded, her tone leaving no room for argument.
Imogen stood tall and proud, her expression stoic.
“I acted in the best interests of the kingdom,” she replied, her voice steady and unafraid.
“I regret that I went feral and lost my hearings, but I believe my actions were justified,” she explained.
“Her majesty, according to the Shaman, Lyla was Mage,” Prince Jasper spoke up in Imogen’s defense.
“And if we let her go Scot free someone else will followed her footsteps so what happens to them?” Xander asked, walking in.
Prince Jasper glanced at him then frowned.
“You’re not a member of the council…”
“You’re right but this has to do with our Queen,” Xander turned to the council.
“Rules are rules, we can’t let someone break the law and go Scot free! If she has the balls to go against the queen then what about those newly marked ferals? She should know how to drew her blade and when to back down!!” He said strongly.
Queen Lumira went back to her throne, settling down. While Jaspers went closer to Xander.
“Are you doing this cos you both don’t like each other?” Prince Jasper asked
“I’m doing it cos there are consequences for every action,” Xander replied in the same tone.
“That’s enough, take her back in the dungeon her trial continues tomorrow,” Queen Lumira ordered coldly.
Owen and Niko came forward, leading Imogen out of the room.

LATER THAT EVENING ~~POWERROOM
“Heard the new ferals will be called Into their animal tonight,” Quinn walked in.
Violet smile upon seeing her but she didn’t return the smile.
“What do you think I will be?” Quinn asked, staring at Niko.
“A rat maybe?” Declan came in.
“Hey!!” Quinn screamed and they laughed.
“It’s the Human…. Yes! Jericho, he’s a rat snifter,” she rolled her eyes.
Owen and Marran entered.
“Marran you’re no longer a warrior so you shouldn’t be here,” Xander glanced at them.
Owen stepped forward but Asher beat him to it.
“And why is that?” Asher asked, glaring at Xander.
Everyone exchange glances.
“Why’s going on?” Niko nudged Violet since he was beside her.
“I have no idea,” she mumbled, not taking her gaze off the show.
Xander scoffed
“She’s a mated Female Asher, I should be staring up at her Alpha not you so move away let him come up to me and speak if he has anything to say,” Xander said
Asher stood his ground so he smirked and walked out from his corner. He stopped in front of Marran then grinned.
“I don’t like the idea of female warriors so it’s good that you won’t be joining us in any up coming battles nut if you will then I’m taking you out myself,” Xander smirked dangerously.
He has completely gone crazy.
Almost immediately Owen grabbed his collar and Asher did the same, they both grabbed him at the same time.
“You wanna dîê!!”
“You want me to slay you now!”
Both men shouted at the same time.
Others exchange glances again then shifted their gaze to Marran, seeing the heated questioning gaze of everyone on her she ran forward.
“Owen, please let him go,” she said softly and held his arm.
And that…. That did it all. It broke everything Asher was keeping, bring out the beast in him.
Why the fûçk will she go for Owen and not him? Why? Huh?
“I bet you never called him when you were sucking my cøçk,” Asher said nonchalantly.
Everyone gasped out loud.
Owen glared at him.
“Oh, was it a secret? I thought we were gonna make it a threesome, she’s pretty good with cøçk you know…. Don’t tell me she never sucked your cøçk? Geez Marran what have you been doing? Anyways, that threesome still stands,” Asher said proudly.
“And I thought I was wrong when I said women is only good for sucking cøçk,” Xander mumbled grinning.
“That’s why your momma can’t identify your Papa,” Quinn said and he turned to her Sharply.
“What did you say?” Xander roared, moving towards her.
Violet quickly blocked his way, seeing that she’s out for a fight, Declan and Niko join her.
“You might be strong but there is no way you can defeat three feral warriors so I suggest you back down,” Niko said seriously.
Xander gritted his teeth while staring at them, especially Quinn, he was gonna teach her to keep her mouth shut!
“I will get you,” he stormed off.
Owen shifted his gaze to Marran and she looked away, without another word he began walking out of the room and she followed.
“Stop right there!” Asher grabbed her arm but she shook her hand off his home with a slap to his face then went after Owen.
“Owen! Owen please, Owen…” She grabbed his arm just when he was about climbing down the small steps.
“Did you fûçk him too?” He asked, heart filled with bitterness.
“No!! No, it was only the BJ I swear,” she quickly shouted.
He was silent for a little while.
“What is it? What does he have against you? What’s he blackmailing you with?” He asked in a calm gently voice.
Wishing she could just open up.
She hesitated.
“Marran…”
“I can’t, I’m sorry,” tears came rolling down her cheeks.
“You….” He slapped his chest “you said you loved me…”
“I do! I love you a lot…”
“Do you!” Owen snapped, voice raising. He was fûçking tired of her lies.
“You tell another man you love him and tl me you love me too, for goddess sake Marran we are mated! Okay? You want me to dîè so you could have all the fun you want?” He yelled, eyes reddish.
“I’m sorry,” she mumbled in tears.
“If you can’t tell me what you’re hiding then forget it,” he walked out in her.
Marran fell on her knees sobbing.
REJECTED MATE : CHAPTER 71 – 80
PAST MIDNIGHT~ RITUAL HOUR
“You’re not complete,” Queen Lumira said as she strode to the single stone that is shining brightly under the moon.
Everyone exchange glances.
Jag was present and two newly marked ferals was also present with Quinn who will officially became a feral warrior and start going to war like others.
“Jericho is not here,” Prince Jasper said, counting them.
“Niko, I thought you told him about the ritual?” Declan asked.
Niko nodded.
“I did but I dunno what’s keeping him, will go get him,” Niko replied, already leaving them.
MEANWHILE
Jericho walked into the Palace but didn’t see others, he turned to walk away when he saw Puppy.
“Pretty boy,” she called, rushing to him.
“Hey,” he Waved
“I apologize for my attitude toward you this afternoon, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have kissed you,” she said apologetically.
Jericho nodded, good thing she came back to her sense.
“I… Emm.. do you know where other went? They told me to come here for,” he said hoping she will help him and luckily for him she did.
“Of course I do, the queen will be pulling the energies, she will glow so brightly as though she swallowed the moon,” Puppy gushed happily.
“The moon? I thought it’s just shinning like the sun…”
“She was chosen by the sun and blessed by the soon so she can do both depending on the energy she’s pulling,” She Interrupted.
“Oh, I think I’m late just show me where,” Jericho said and checked his wrist even though he wasn’t wearing any watch.
“Come I will show you,” Puppy took his hand, leading him outside.
“You’re so handsome I got lost and stop thinking right,” she mumbled shyly
He smiled.
“It’s good thing you realize I don’t feel the same way on time, I hope you find someone who will love and cherish you,” he said kindly and she nodded.
“I hope,” she pointed towards the direction of the ritual ground.
“That way, they’re not far and try to get a good look at the queens body features and tell me what you think?” She added.
“How?” He raised his brows.
“She doesn’t wear clothes to avoid being burnt or getting hurt by the powers so you will see her completely nâkêd, tell me her shape when you return,” she replied
Jericho was about to speak when Niko and Declan walked up to them.
“There you are,” Niko mumbled
By the time they got back the queen was already making her incantation. Prince Jasper took his palm then slice through it with the blade then tire his shirt open, cutting through his chest.
“Ouch,” Jericho winched.
Immediately they all began cutting themselves and slamming their bloody hands against his chest on the exact spot that is cut open.
He looked around to see Jag, Quinn and two others, shifting his gaze to the queen he watch as Xander pulled the single rope holding her gown.
It was a complete see through and he didn’t like it… What! Why didn’t he like it? Right now she’s completely nâkêd
“Tonight I will be calling the radiant, a powerful ritual, I will be nâkêd, you and others will be there,” his mind ran back to what she’d said earlier.
“Oh my goodness,” Jericho was stunned as he watched her lit up like a fire ball.
Her voice kept getting louder and louder in the darkness and so does her glows, her palms producing sparks of lightening with her eyes firmly closed.
She was speaking a language it’s meaning has been lost in time, he didn’t understand anything till she switched to English.
“Spirits rise and join, empower the beasts beneath this moon, goddess review your warrior!!!!”
Jericho’s head spun, his eyes sparkling with different colors and…. He was gone, in his place stood a Giant African Lion.
Jag was gone, replace with a Jaguar and Quinn was a bird, two other Ferals, a tiger and the other a Syfy-wolf but in all these animals they were staring at Jericho.
Cheers and roars erupt the whole place and Prince Jasper was the first to step forward, it was hard but it’s tradition and he can’t fight it.
Stopping before Jericho he lowered himself then bowed to the giant African lion, Niko was next then Violet, Declan, Owen. One by one they all lowered themselves to their new chief.
600 years ago Their Alpha, chief of the Feral warriors (Demon slayers) had dîêd and till now no one has claimed his position. They gave it to Prince Jasper cos he’s a royal blood but now that he’s back, Jasper had to step down.
“I’m not Bowing to him until he proves that he’s truly the chief of the ferals,” Xander said grumpily.
“Xander kneel,” Prince Jasper ordered.
Xander scoffed.
“I can only be compelled to kneel before him but if he’s the true chief then I challenge him to a drew….”
“Xander!!” Prince Jasper roared, stepping forward.
Xander scoffe and rolled his eyes.
“I only want prove that I’m bowing to the rightfully Alpha and not some pathetic human,” Xander said out loud then lowered just one knee.
“That’s if he can shift back,” Xander added, still on one knee.
“Jericho shifted back,” Niko said
“How do I do that?” He said telepathically.
“Choose to be a man and you will,” he heard a voice in his head, he turned but no one spoke so he glanced at the queen but her eyes was still closed.
He simply did as he was told he bam, he was a man again, wait, he was naked! He glanced at others but Jag has his clothes on. Quinn was naked like him and the tiger was also naked and the Syfy-wolf was naked too.
Only Jag, the Jaguar retrained his clothes. How did he do that?
“I accept your challenge?” Jericho said before he could help himself.
A dark smile appeared on Xanders lips instantly.
“No you will not, you just got called into your animal, you need radiant and practice and connection with your animal,” Prince Jasper said.
“But he….”
“Silence!!!!” Queen yelled cutting them off.
The whole noise dêâd down as they focus on her again, As Queen Lumira began her chant the ground beneath their feet began to tremble
Power, strength, energy surging up to their bones.
Mother nature erupt from her depth, a thunder rumble in the clear sky, heavy wind blowing and threatening to carry them away.
A flash of light lit up in the heavens, shinning directly upon her, her eyes flashed open and power burst through her, striking directly to the heavens and back.
Touching each and everyone one of them, feeding them with strength no one could match up to.
For some reason Jericho lost focus on the energy surging through him and focus only on her. Watching as the tigers cycle her without harming her.
He was still thinking how it was possible when he remembered what Puppy said and he looked closely, almost immediately one of the tigers limped on him, tackling him to the ground then the other lunged forward..
Just when it’s claws was about to sneak Into his flesh, Queen Lumira Wave her right hand, knocking the tiger away with a lightening ball and it fell with a whimpere.
The light coming from the heavens retracted with full force it threw her far away, slamming her back against a rock 20 feet from there, knocking breath out of her lungs. She dropped to the ground unconscious.
It began to rain heavily.
“Her Majesty!!!”
“Lumira!!” Prince Jasper rushed towards her, getting close he scooped her Into to his arms and running back to the palace.

“Finally!!! Finally she has fallen,” Obiden laughed with satisfaction
“Prepare my warrior, we attack to night,” he laughed like a wîtch.
“The walls…”
“There is no wall if the one holding it has fallen,”
