REJECTED MATE : CHAPTER 91 – 100
By Rosy Johnson
[CAN’T LET GO!]
His eyes snapped with recognition as his animal spirit overcame the darkness. Jericho swung his gaze to the woman who’s hand was melting away, disappearing like a burnt paper.
“No!” He let out a roar of pain, his heart stinging, his animal spirit whimpering
“Smiley,” he ran to her, kneeling right beside her and quickly lifting her to his lap but her hand dissolved.
“No! How do I give it back? What do I do? Someone talk to me?!!” He screamed, swinging his gaze to others
“You kîllêd her,” Prince Jasper replied his voice faintly.
“No, she can’t dîe, she has to come back, how do I give it back?” He asked, his heart pounding in his chest.
“Give back what you took….”
“How do I give it back??!!” He roared, shutting hawk up, his eyes turning red with fury.
The pain of losing her was bigger than his heart could contain.
“Wish to give it back and it will,” Imogen was the one that replied this time.
Closing his eyes Jericho gathered his thoughts, he imagine all those powers inside him and somewhere in his heart he saw a long dark passage, it felt so real, like a bridge to another city or something.
His animal spirit urged him to give to focus before the darkness overtakes him again so he focused his attention back on the woman in his arms.
The energies began to glow back in a flash of smokes and colorful lights, rushing into her with lightening speed.
Unknown words slipped out of his tongue, he tried to understand what it meant but instead, another string of unknown words came out, words he suddenly knew would close the channel once and for all.
Words he have never heard let alone know the meaning, lifting Queen Lumira closer, tucking her head against his chest, he bent and kissed her lips.
“Come back to me please, come back to me,” he whispered. A tear dropped from his eyes, landing on her cheek.
her aura was gone now, amazingly so too was the dissolving hand, it’d stopped.
she stirred in his arms and his heart began to beat louder, gwad, goddess please help him, he didn’t want to lose her, No! No! No!!!!
slowly her lashes lifted, as she saw him, A small brown and amber eyes…
smile lifted her lovely mouth.
“Lion, you did it,” she mumbled weakly, raising her hand to touch his face. He lowered his head to her palm, letting her ran her fingers through his sweaty face.
“My Lion,” she swap on his tears, locking eyes with him as she does that.
A shutter went through him and he pulled her tight against him.
“We did it together,” he whispered against her hair, inside his wolf let out a howl of pure happiness.
lifting his head, Jericho saw the faces of his feras watching them.
Behind them stood several dozen demons of the human looking variety, each armed with a sword or knife though none appeared to be actively threatening, in fact, unless you were mistaken, the expressions on most of their faces were a mix of gratitude and disbelief, relief and wonder.
“Lion, lemme stand,” Queen Lumira whispered, taking note of the people staring at them.
Jericho made to lift her to her feet but she quickly stopped him.
“I can stand,”
He help her to her feet as if reluctantly, keeping an armed tight around her.
The hand that discovered had already grow back
The ferals surged forward, Gathering around him and slapping him on the back.
Prince Jasper grassed his forearm.
“A hêll of a job pretty boy, one hell of a job,” he slapped his back in feral greetings.
Imogen picked up the Demon Blade then hand it over to the Queen.
“Lion-man, the lion king,” Jag shouted like a kid as he approached ” you just saved the whole fûçking world,” he added, slapping him on his back in a warrior gesture.
“Perhaps,” Xander said quietly, drawing their attention back to the dozens of demons watching them, reminding them that although Satanian might be defeated much of his horde was still loose.
The tattoo demon stepped forward
“We are in your debt Shifter,” he paused then bowed to the queen before continuing.
Jericho faced him
“Her Majesty, we are demons, most of us? yes! but there were many races subjugated and inspired by Satanian and all those who survived were freed…”
“The world you left is no more,” Jericho’s voice resonated, clearly across the Gathering
“The humans now number in the billions and they’ve acquired great power, they don’t know the immortal races exist and they must never know if we wish to survive, find a way to live in this world without Discovery and without harming the other races including the humans or we will be hunting you down,” Queen Lumira spoke this time. Her expression stone-cold
the Tattooed male nodded
“Satanian’s way was never ours, we wish only to return to the mountains and live in peace,” he replied
Xander snorted
“Good luck with that,”
The Demons jaw hardened
“Many of those who are freed today have already escaped, many souls were long ago, destroyed by Satanian. they have neither heard your warning nor would likely pay it any hear,” Queen Lumira said.
” if they harm any race we will hunt them and destroy them,” the demon replied
Queen Lumira nodded.
“if you need assistance or anything until you learn the ways of this world we will help you, I am Lumira, daughter of….”
“An angel, last of her kind, one who has been touched by the goddess herself, blessed with strength beyond humans imagination, the only one with the power to defeat the high demon Satanian and the queen of the Therians.” The tattooed demon interrupted
Jericho swung his gaze from her to the man confused, what the fûçk does he mean an Angel, does angels give birth?
“It’s completely,” she replied telepathically and he looked at her.
She’d read his thoughts again.
“Is Jasper also an Angel?” He asked in his head, she looked at him then smiled.
“No,” she replied telepathically.
“Then how….”
“You ask too many questions, his parents were told to look after me when I was born, don’t ask of my parents cos I was born with magic and… that’s all,” she replied now focusing her attention to the demon again.
Jericho still didn’t get a single thing, he was as confused as hêll , the fûçk! She was an angel. For real?
“We know when you were born, the whole world heard of it, I am Strom, the last true king of the Demons,”
Queen Lumira looked around.
“You may remain here in this fortress for as long as you wish, the owner no longer needs it but the humans inside will be set free so leave the humans alone, all humans!!”
Strom turned to Jericho.
the distinctive soundtrack of the original Star Wars movie cut the stillness suddenly, all heads turned toward the door where one of the demon males held a laptop like he feared it would explode in his hands, as he approached all the Demons stared wide-eyed backing away
“What is this?” Strom demanded
“it’s harmless,” Jericho assured him “human technology, play acting,”
The demon moved to where he could watch the battle on the screen then shook his head, his eyes wide
“The world has indeed changed,”
Prince Jasper grunted
“We don’t live in the Star Wars universe but yes, it’s changed more than you can imagine,” prince Jasper said now standing beside them.
“It’s been five thousand years since you were locked up, generations have come and go so it’s development and many more will come,” Xander joined them.
Strom glare at them one after another before settling his gaze on Jericho’s.
“Thank you,” then he glanced at the queen “thank you, her Majesty,”

EARLY MORNING NEXT DAY
By the time they returned to the palace it was already another day, queen Lumira didn’t wait to rest nor eat as she firstly made her way towards the room where all the wounded Therians were kept.
“You’re back,” Sloane said, spreading her arms as if to hug her, she quickly get back to her sense and withdrew her hand.
A huge smile on her lips.
“I’m so happy you made it…”
“Move!” Queen Lumira interrupted.
She staggered away so the queen went into the room, settling her gaze on the injured Therians
She closed her eyes, it wasn’t long before her body lit up as if she’d swallowed the sun then she released healing energy, pouring it into them like raining water.

KITCHEN
“Jericho!!!” Luca screamed excitedly immediately he saw Jericho walk in but Micah slapped his head
“Ouch,” he frowned “what was that for?”
“My grandmother said I will be a warrior some day so I should be the one to welcome him and he’s no longer Jericho’s, his now Lion, the chief of the Feral warriors,” Micah said as if scolding him.
He rolled his eyes then turn to Jericho with a hug smile on his lips.
“Come sit, my grandmother….”
“Said you will be a warrior,” Jericho completed
“Yes,”
“That line is old, everyone is tired of it so please change it,” He added and yawned tiredly, stretching himself.
“How did it go in battle?” Luca asked bringing his chair close.
“Yes, how did it go, tell us everything in detail,” Zander added and joined ” gosh man, I was so scared,” he said afterwards.
Jericho giggled.
“Luca go get food for the warriors,” Micah ordered.
“Why me?” Luca looked around but Micah kicked his âss instantly
“My grandmother said I will be a warrior so get in there before I kîll you with my soon to be animal spirit!”
REJECTED MATE : CHAPTER 91 – 100
GIRLS ROOM
Queen returned to the room after taking Elvina to the queens chamber, she’d expected to see Violet but the room was empty.
A sad smile appeared on her face, it didn’t last long cos the bathroom door swung open and Violet stepped out
A white fluffy towel wrapped around her with another one wrapped on her head.
Violet narrowed her gaze.
“Is there a problem?” She asked, standing on her spot.
Quinn didn’t say a word, she just stood there staring at her. They might have gone to war but she didn’t fîght, she was stationed to keep Elvina out of harm and throughout the day she was worried Violet might not make it.
She still doesn’t want to let go of Niko but she loves her too.
“Awe, she’s sobbing,” Violet moved closer, cupping her face “Why the tears?”
“I.. I thought you’re gonna dîê,” Quinn broke into tears.
Violet pressed her face against her shoulder, hugging her, loving the feel of her body against hers.
She’d always love Quinn right from the first day she became a feral warrior, she’d tried to keep her cool but couldn’t, the girl might still be high over heels for Niko who didn’t seem like he cares about her but she didn’t mind.
“We had our chief with us and our Queen so dêâth was far from us,” she replied.
Quinn sniffed then raised her head to look at her.
“Cry baby,” Violet mumbled and Quinn pushed her away, frowning
“Stop it!”
Violet laughed,
“Seriously, you look cute while sobbing,” She laughed harder.
A knock came on the door and Quinn rolled her eyes before going for it.
She’d already cleaned her eyes to avoiding anyone seeing her tears.
She opened the door only to came face to face with Niko
“Are you girls coming for breakfast or what?” He asked, staring at her face, he glanced over her shoulder to Violet who’s still standing at the center of the room.
“Right after you, gimme space to change,” Violet replied from the closet.
He snorts
“And what are you hiding?” He asked teasingly.
“Something,” Declan replied, walking towards the door
Quinn’s eyes widene.
“Declan, you’re fine,”
“Yap, I got a whole lot of radiant,” he replied checking himself out, fûçk it was good to be back to his normal self.
“Queen Lumira shared radiant?” Both violet and Quinn asked in unison, eyes wide.
“Wait… You both don’t know?” Niko asked
They exchange glances
“Well, it was for the sick”
In the next minute they were all heading towards the general dining when they came across Imogen.
Quinn made to call her but stopped herself, the female will simply ignored her.
“Imogen, mind joining us for breakfast?” Violet asked.
Imogen completely ignored her, she didn’t even look at them
“Still same old Imogen,” Declan murmured.
“Guys!” Jag Wave from the other end with a hug smile on his face while rushing towards them.
“Imogen, Where are you going?” Jag asked simple.
In a blink of an eye she vanished from her current position, reappearing again besides Jag, her claws hands firmly wrapped around his neck, digging into his skin.
They all gasped.
Jag felt the claws dug dipper and deep as pain rippled through him, his blood dripping down his chest.
He drew his own claws but Niko shook his head negatively, one wrong move, just one fûçking move the crazy Syfy-wolf was gonna rip his neck from his body.
Just a fûçking mistake!
He retracted his claws and stood frozen in place, pain screamed through his body but he didn’t dare move, not even an inche.
“If I ever hear Imo… Let alone gen from your mouth ever again, I will kîll you and face the consequences,” She whispered in his ears, her voice coated with so much menace.
She retracted her claws and in the next minute she was in her previous position, going into the kitchen.
Jag staggered to wall, rubbing his neck.
His wound might have healed but she showed him another part of her… Fûçk! She was scary…
“Are you alright?” Declan asked, holding his shoulder.
“What did you do to her?” Niko asked
Jag coughed not able to tell them how he’d call her names in the dungeon.
“She’s Cold Hearted and a loner but she never pick a fîght without a reason,” Quinn mumbled
“Maybe she’s just being full of herself again,” Violet shrugged.
“Are you guys going to the dining?” Marran voice took their focus away from Jag.
They all stared at her indifferent but Declan squeeze his brows
“Where is Owen?” He asked, staring at her as though she’s hiding him.
“Badly injured with the Venom….”
“It’s already been cleared, the queen healed us all and feed us with enough radiant, I even saw him seated when I left the healing center,” Declan replied
Confused clouded her gaze.
If Owen was healed she was supposed to feel it, so how come she didn’t feel anything? Why didn’t he come to their bedchamber? Why didn’t he ask, look or sent for her? Was he still mad? Could Declan be wrong?
She took slow steps backwards
“Marran,” Violet called
“Will meet you guys there,” she scurried off, heading to the healing center
Declan just shrugged.
REJECTED MATE : CHAPTER 91 – 100
Imogen walked into the kitchen and Micah rushed to her, smiling sheepishly.
“Hello warrior….”
“Zander, where is he?” She asked instead.
“Oh, he went to feed the Humans in the dungeon,” Micah replied.
Imogen turned to leave but that was when Jericho came out from the inner room so she stopped and looked at him.
“Her Majesty request your presence,” she delivered the massage and left.
REJECTED MATE : CHAPTER 91 – 100
PALACE
Queen Lumira stood outside the door watching Puppy who’s still contorting, her bones had already twisted into unimaginable forms but they kept snapping and twisting.
She felt a presence but didn’t turn to look at who ever it was cos she already knew.
“Smiley,” Jericho wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his head on her neck before kissing that spot.
Her body shivered with needs but she tap it down. Jericho looked over her shoulder to see Puppy groaning in pain, she look like she’d been crying till her tears ran dry.
“Did you do that?” He asked
“She’s not important, anyway, some human intruders came over and they’re in the dungeon, will send them back this evening and close the portal permanently, just wanted to tell you so you and your friend will pack your things cos it’s time to go home,” she said, turning her face to him.
All she truly wanted was to crawl into bed with him and have him fûçk her brains out… No, make love to her like he said before and did. seems love making is better than fûçking, but she can’t do that, not anymore, he wasn’t hers and it’s time to let go.
He watched her, his pulse pounding, her scent brought his emotions forefront, threatening to overwhelm him.
The thought of going home, does he really wants to go home? A home without Smiley? Is that place home?
“What if I don’t want to go home?”
a light sparked in her eyes, hope and joy, and he knew in that moment that she wanted him to stay.
“But your siblings, your life in the human world,” her voice strangely became soft and sweet to his ears.
Jericho’s heart cut, how could he turn his back on his siblings? But then..
“I don’t want to leave you, smiley!” He said before he could stop himself.
Tears burned in her eyes, she’d actually been thinking of how to tell him to stay but couldn’t bring herself to tell him.
“I don’t want you to go My Lion,” She cupped his face, her gaze boring into his
“Tell me what I can do to make you stay,
“My siblings has to be part of my life,”
“Done!”
“How? You said you’re closing the portal permanently?”
“Hêll if I know, but I’ll fly to the moon and back if that’s what it takes to make you stay. will you stay?”
