Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 45

Sabrina's POV

One and a half hours had passed, and the enemies were getting nearer and nearer to the first mountain where we were currently at, and we were anxiously waiting for them. I was up in the tall trees while the others were hiding in the dark. I didn’t know I was subconsciously biting my lips in anticipation.

If our plan fails, we’ll be in great danger.

Lucia had her bow ready and on full alert. We nodded at each other and made some signals to Layla, Allia, and Clinton. Each passing time, I couldn’t help but feel nervous. I just hope that Azrael will cooperate or else our plans will go downhill.

Using Clinton’s magic, which is to block everyone from sensing our auras, is a really big help. I’ve been impatient when the enemies entered the forest, but it looks like all of them were alert because they were scanning the whole forest. Their voices echoed around the entire mountain in which was so unpleasant in the ears. All the warriors just walked straight to find the exit of the mountain. I smirked because all of them are so stupid.

Few of the warriors who walked first screamed in horror as they fell into our trap. An hour ago, Allia and I made the trap while Clinton had his trap too. Layla and Lucia also teamed up together to set a dangerous trap. Allia and I dug a hole in the ground which measures up to 20ft by 25ft wide with 15ft deep. The trapping pit we made was camouflaged with small branches and leaves to make it harder to see. A total of 20 warriors had fallen and bled to death by sharpened sticks pointed upwards from the bottom of the pit.

All of them ignored the dead by the King’s command and continued walking as nothing happened. But some of them are on high alert. They don’t know what awaits them ahead. A grin plastered on my lips deviously. Minutes passed and screams echoed again in the whole mountain, causing the flying animals to escape in horror. I’m jumping from tree to tree and stopped when I can already see the situation. Clinton is a genius.

Every net, there were 10 warriors trapped inside. There were 6 nets in total and when I looked up, a huge bag of animal blood poured down endlessly to the victims and they screamed. But it’s not stopped there yet because a group of bugs surrounded the warriors and they couldn’t do anything but scream at the top of their lungs. They use their power, but it seems like the bugs multiplied in numbers. Some witches and wizards tried to help the trapped warriors, but it just worsened because the other bugs attacked them. The screams died down and the warriors who trapped were no longer breathing and it’s so gross because the bugs ate their flesh. It’s so surprising because the bugs suddenly retreated to their homes up in the trees.

Now that they witnessed such a bloody encounter, everyone was on high alert.

I spotted Azrael, King Stephen, Michelle, and other werewolves who were on high alert while looking up into the trees. It’s like they know we’re here. Lucia hid in one of the huge trees near Azrael while Layla pushed something on the tree across Lucia. In just a snap, a lot of arrows were flying so fast towards the enemies.

“Get down!!!” someone shouted when they saw the coming arrows. But it’s too late because it already hit them. They groaned in pain and the whole forest was in chaos. The arrows had poison and the one who got hit had only 1 minute to live if not treated right away. A wizard spotted Layla and was about to attack her, but I quickly dodge its attack using my fast arrows.

“Up in the trees!” they shouted, and I quickly jumped to another tree, then jumped to the ground and hid in the dark.

Now the hunting starts. I cursed under my breath when an arrow almost hit me in the head. I quickly hide in the trees.

‘I already got Azrael, come to our meeting place!’ Lucia said using a mind link, and I quickly ran towards Layla when I saw some warriors chasing and attacking her.

“Layla! Hold my hand!” I said and reached my hand to her. She screamed when she stumbled on the ground and I gasped to see blood coming out from her arms. Sh*t!

Not wasting any time, I ran back towards Layla and held her then teleported away from our enemies. It’s the fastest way to get out from there. I released a deep breath when I successfully teleported us in the west woods where we plan to meet after we get Azrael.

“Sabrina! Layla! What happened?!” Allia and Lucia said in worry.

“I got shot with an arrow,” Layla mumbled while grunting in pain. The arrow is still buried in her arms. I sighed.

“Layla, it will be painful,” I said and held the arrows. She groaned and nodded painfully.

“Make it fast!” she said while gritting her teeth and she took a deep breath.

Without a signal, I pulled out the arrow from her arms. She cried out in pain and breathed heavily. But she suddenly felt weak. I stared at the arrow and my heart rate quickens when my gaze fixated on the green substance left in the arrow. What shocked me was, I know who is the owner of this arrow.

“Sh*t! The arrow had poison!” I mumbled nervously.

“What?!”

I quickly cast a spell to remove the poison from Layla’s body. I sighed in relief when I successfully remove the poison or else Layla will die.

Using my healing magic, I put my hands on her wounds and it slowly healed. Layla sighs in relief when she doesn’t feel pain anymore.

“Thank you, Sabrina. I owe you my life,” she said, and I just nodded.

I looked at Lucia and my gaze met with Azrael. His hands were both tied in his back while Lucia and Clinton held him.

“Sabrina, Layla…” Azrael mumbled. I just looked at him coldly.

Layla and I walked towards them and I noticed Azrael’s swollen lips. Oh, did he receive a good punch?

Layla was glaring daggers at Azrael. “What do you want from me?” Azrael asked.

“Because we need you to bring Alex back,” I replied.

“What do you mean?” he asked with furrowed eyebrows.

“Tsk. You don’t even have any idea? Because of you, Alex’s emotions were provoked and her beast controlled her body completely! This is all your fault if you hadn’t betrayed her, this wouldn’t have happened!” Layla said and blamed Azrael bluntly.

Guilt crossed Azrael’s face, and he bowed down his head. “I… I didn’t know.”

“Of course, you didn’t know! Idiot!” Layla snapped angrily.

I sighed, “Layla, stop! He’s at fault, yes, but we need him to bring Alex back. Come on, our time is only limited and we still need to save Luke.” I said, and she went silent. I looked at Lucia and nodded.

She cast a spell to open a portal and ushered us to get in first. Allia and Clinton went in, followed by Layla, who was still glaring daggers at Azrael. I nodded at Azrael and he went in, then Lucia and I followed.

“This is the second mountain.” I heard Layla uttered.

I looked around and we were indeed back on the second mountain. Why would Lucia bring us here?

“I know what you’re thinking.” we all looked at her quizzically.

“Why?” I asked.

“Because someone had followed us and entered the portal.” we all gasped and looked around until I spotted a bat not far away from us.

“Vampire!” I uttered and took out my bow and arrow, but the bat suddenly transformed into his vampire form.

I was stunned to see Vorges.

“Sabrina! Don’t shoot me!” he said.

“Why are you following us?” I asked calmly, and I put my arrow down.

“I have something to tell you,” he said reluctantly.

“What is it? Vorges, we don’t have time for some b*llsh*t.” I spat angrily.

“It’s important. It’s about Demonise,” he said, not tearing his gaze away from me.
