Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 64

Alice’s POV

As the wind howled in every direction, it whispered into my ears. I closed my eyes as the wind continued whispering, vivid images flashed into my head—a scene where angels bowed and whispered holy words at the Falls of Holy Light. “Why do the elders of the Angels call for my help? My sisters are already there. Haven’t they met yet?” I muttered as I fluttered my eyes open.

As I reached the last step of the stairs, I looked up and let out a deep sighed. “It must be so lonely up there. Please wait for my return, father.” I whispered into the wind.

Before leaving the Promise Land, I step into the sea of clouds. I got on my knees, put my hand on my chest; closed my eyes, and uttered with certainty, “Almighty, with the power of the orbs of life and death you gave on my father and transferred to me, I’ll ask your blessings for all the choices I will make in the future. May the orbs guide me through my journey. Please give me your strength, your grace, and the courage to defeat all evils. And give me the power to heal the broken lands caused by demons. I am Alice, the chosen Goddess of Change and now the bearer of the Orbs of Life and Death, with all my heart and mind, my body and my soul, please consider my sacrifices. Amen.”

I fluttered my eyes open and the thick wind in the sea of clouds swirling around me. Then a blinding light from above, piercing through me and covered my whole being. A warm smile tugged on my lips, “Thank you, Almighty God. Your holy light warmed my whole being, especially my heart.”

When the blinding light vanished, screams filled my ear. I creased my forehead because the voices are all familiar. As I looked to my right, it stunned me to see Sabrina and the others fighting some demons and goblins. They looked so tired and they had no choice but to fight.

I wasted no time and opened my left palm. A huge light force came out, and I released it to the goblins and demons. Screams echoed throughout the place and the light covered the entire place, but I saw everything. When the goblins and demons vanished into dust, the light also disappeared. Then the dark clouds vanished, and the sunlight peeked.

“What happened?” Sabrina and the others mumble in shock when they uncover their eyes. “The goblins and demons had vanished! And my wounds, it’s also healed,” Lucia said unbelievably while scanning her body.

“I didn’t feel tired too!” Michelle said. They haven’t noticed my presence yet.

Cybelle noticed me, and she gasped in shock. When Sabrina and the other turned in my direction, their gaze met mine. A loud gasp left their mouth and looked at me dumbfounded with eyes widened. I gave them a warm smile.

“Alex?” Sabrina blurted out. I nodded.

“Sabrina, it’s nice to see you all again. But what are you all doing here in Magic Realm?” I asked while walking towards them. But I stopped walking when Sabrina ran faster towards me with tears in her eyes.

My eyes widened as I almost fell down when Sabrina threw her body on me and embraced me like there’s no tomorrow while crying. “Alex, you’re alive! I’m glad… I’m glad you came back because I thought we’re going to die here. Thank you, Alex.” she said while sobbing. I smile and tap her back.

“I wouldn’t let something bad happen to all of you,” I said. “Sorry it took me long to come here.”

She released our hug while wiping her face that was stained with tears. “I thought I will never see you again, Alex. Please don’t leave us again, okay?” she said, and I hummed while nodding my head. I reached for her hand and squeezed it, “Sabrina, for once, I never left,” I put my hand on her chest and said, “Because I am always here.” she burst into tears again and hugged me tight.

I didn’t know Sabrina could be so emotional like this. This is the first time I saw this side of her. She really missed me. “Your hair, it looked amazing,” she mumbled, then released the hug and stared at my blue hair with glowing silver flecks in awe. I let out a giggle.

Someone tugging the hem of my dress, “Big Sis? Is it really you?” I turned to look at the familiar voice and smile sweetly while nodding my head. Angelo burst into tears and hugged me. “You are alive! You came back!” I tap his back as he sobbed while hugging me tightly. Stephen, Cybelle, Michelle, and Lucia looked like they saw a ghost while Cyn was smiling at me and nodded his head as our eyes met.

Angelo released the hug and clung onto my waist like a koala. I guess he missed me. “How many days have you been fighting those creatures?” I asked as we approached the other that was still in awe.

“It’s been 15 rough days and the goblins and demons won’t let us rest for a night. They stopped attacking us during the day, but they would come back at night. It’s an exhausting day for us. But today, demons also appeared and turned the bright sky to dark for the goblins to attack us,” Sabrina said in an exhausted voice. I couldn’t believe what they went through. Fifteen days of fighting nonstop is exhausting. Now that I’m here, I wouldn’t let any demons and goblins attack them.

I closed my eyes and felt the wind as they whispered into my ears. Demons and Goblins already conquered all the villages outside the walls. All the villages became their home and their numbers grew so fast. The only safe place in this part of the magic realm is the central city. It was ten kilometers away from our location. “So, where are you going now?” I asked.

“To the Central City of the Southern Magic Realm. I guess, we’re ten kilometers away,” Cyn replied while looking at the high walls that were already visible from our distance. I nodded.

“Alex, we couldn’t find Layla,” Michelle let out on the verge of crying. I frowned.

“Why? What happened to her?” I asked.

“I will show you what happened,” Sabrina said and held my hand. Our eyes glow as she lets me see the scene in Layla’s room. The blinding light appeared when Layla’s body convulsed. When an angel desperately sought answers, a blinding light appeared and took them. Is Layla trying to go back to Promise Land? Yet, the blinding light brought them here in the magic realm instead.

“When we opened our eyes, Layla was nowhere in sight and then goblins showed up,” Michelle said.

“Don’t worry, I can track her whereabouts,” I said and gave them a reassuring smile. They sighed in relief.

I closed my eyes again and talked to the wind. “Spirit of the wind, tell me where Archangel Elaine was,” I whispered, and the wind howled in every direction. After a few seconds, the wind whispered into my ears.

“I know where she is,” I said, and they all looked at me.

“Where? We’ve been looking for her everywhere but to no avail.” Michelle let out while sighing frustratedly.

“Layla is in Central City,” I said.

“What?” They all mumbled unbelievably.

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to her.” I said and opened a portal. A swirling motion appeared, and I ushered everyone to get in. Sabrina and I entered last.

“Woah!” they all mumbled while scanning the view in front of us. There's a huge fountain in the center which produces gold water. It was thick and slick.

“Who are you?!” an angel spoke behind us and pointed his weapon toward us. And in just a snap, all the angel warriors surrounded us while also pointing their long weapons.

I stepped forward and looked at all of them. “I apologize for coming unannounced, may I speak with Archangel Elaine?”

“Where’s your appointment letter?” an angel from earlier asked.

“I don’t have,” I uttered.
