Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 65

Alice's POV

We were currently at the conference room in the Northern Castle, where the ruler of the Northern Magic Realm lives. The King and Queen are magic users but they rule the giants and magic users.

My five sisters looked at me with a grin on their faces as I glared at them. They’re not even sorry for lying to Azrael earlier.

“Oh, come on! If we haven’t done that, you won’t come right away!” Val said while chuckling. My other sisters and Azrael nodded their heads in agreement. I pouted, which made them laugh, and I snorted while they kept on laughing.

Tsk. The King and Queen take too long to arrive. I wanted to rest already after this. Earlier, after Azrael and I reunited, the girls contacted me using telepathy. Of course, they knew I was with Azrael. I rolled my eyes and said, “Duh, the light portal brought me to the Southern Magic Realm,”

“And what are you doing there?” Damona asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Well, Sabrina and the others are here in the magic realm. They’re now in Central City,” I replied while playing with Azrael’s hand underneath the table.

“What? How come? They came here before us?” they uttered unbelievably.

“Yeah. The light portal brought them here because of Elaine.” I replied.

“Light portal?” Azrael blurted out, and we looked at him. “It’s the same thing that happened to me. The light portal brought me here too.” he added. Now I know how he got here.

“Oh, well, that’s because you’re an angel. Does that mean you are looking for something or someone?” Willow asked quizzically. Azrael nodded his head and replied, “Yeah, I am looking for my grandparents, but I already know where they are.”

“Have you met them already?” Xandra asked.

Azrael shook his head no and said, “Not yet. I am going to meet them. I’ve just got my appointment letter earlier—” he got cut off when Val interrupted. “Appointment letter? Does that mean your grandparents are in the Central City of the Southern Magic Realm?”

“Yeah,” Azrael answered.

“Oh, no wonder you are a half-angel. Now we know where you really came from. But how come you are in the mortal realm?” Damona said with a creased forehead. Azrael shrugged his shoulders and said, “I do not know. I grew up in the mortal realm, remember?”

We all nodded, but we are still skeptical about Azrael’s real identity. “Well, we will go to Central City together after our talk with the King and Queen.” I said and looked at my sisters, “The elders are looking for us.” I added.

“Oh, really? For what?” Demonise asked, and I just shrugged my shoulders as an answer.

As I looked to my right, I noticed nine people in the room with us carefully listening to our conversation. “Who are you?” I asked with furrowed eyebrows. I forgot to ask their name earlier because of my sisters.

Their eyes widened as they looked at me. “A-ah, I’m Crusette!” the cute girl introduced. She’s familiar, though. Have we met before?

“I’m Amara!” a fairy girl introduced while bowing her head.

“I’m Lindsay,” the girl with short black hair said. Her faint blue eyes seem cold, staring straight at me. I’m guessing she’s an ice manipulator.

“My name is Martha,” introduced the girl with long raven black hair in tight pigtails. She’s a giant who can transform into human form.

“I’m Liam!” the boy with gray eyes said with a wide smile.

“I’m Ethan!” the boy with blue eyes introduced.

“My name is Theodore,” the boy with green eyes said, slightly bowing his head.

“It’s Zasper, my ladies,” the boy with blue highlights in his hair said with a wink. I can tell he’s flirty the way he winks at Val. Val cringed and stuck her tongue out and rolled her eyes at Zasper, which made us all giggled.

“I’m Abraham,” the last boy introduced. He had brown cold eyes, and he looked familiar too. “Where’s Echo?” Abraham whispered to Zasper, but I heard it loud and clear. “He wasn’t with us when the attack happened earlier. I don’t know where he is.” Zasper whispered back.

“They are Master Leon’s students.” Azrael said beside me. My forehead creased as I averted my gaze to him, “Master Leon? You have a master?”

He chuckled, “Yes, 15 days ago, the light portal brought me to Master Leon’s farm. He took me in and became his students for the meantime while we are waiting for the appointment letter from Central City,” he said.

“Oh, that explains!” I said while nodding my head. I looked at the group and wore my serious expression, “So, are you all prepared to fight the demons and goblins?”

“Y-Yeah…” they stuttered and held their breath as they got intimidated by my stare. My five sisters and I laughed out loud at their reaction.

“Guys, you don’t have to get intimidated by us. We’re just like you. Alice is just messing with you all. Don’t take it seriously!” Val said while chuckling. She’s really talkative and hyper as always. The group smiled while nodding their heads.

The door busted open and Leon Kostas walked in with the King and Queen, and the four elders of Northern Magic Realm, namely Elder Jonathan, Elder Joshua, Elder Jeremiah and Elder Josiah. We all shot up from our chair and greeted them. The elders and Leon sat in the vacant chair while the King and Queen sat at their respective chair in front of us.

As we all settled in, King Gustav cleared his throat and said, “So, let’s discuss our plan on how to stop the demons and goblins. Sextuplet, welcome back to Northern Magic Realm. We will do as you command,”

My sisters and I looked at each other and nodded, “Well, all we need are strong warriors who will risk their lives for everyone. But of course, we will select warriors who will come with us. We want to select tomorrow as early as possible.” I said, and they nodded.

“Okay, that’s settled then.” King Gustav said.

Leon cleared his throat and unrolled the large map, then placed it on the center table. “As of now, the demons and goblins have already conquered outside these walls. They aren’t normal goblins out there like the one we saw earlier.” Leon said while pointing to some location where he thinks the goblins lived.

I nodded and pointed to the areas outside the walls on the map. “All the lands outside the Northern and Southern walls are all conquered by the demons and goblins now. It’s odd how their numbers grow so fast. And our top priority right now is to find out where their main hideouts are. To stop them, we need to attack their hideouts first.” I said. My sisters looked at the map and studied it.

“That’s so easy to find. Demonise and I will be the one to look for the hideouts while other warriors will stay standby and wait for our signal.” Damona said, and we all nodded in agreement.

“We need to cooperate with the angels, too. Their abilities are of great help.” Willow uttered and everyone agreed.

“Demon Lord Samael is getting stronger from the past years, Lady Alice. Be careful with him because the hybrid Demon-Beast, Yael, has his back,” Elder Josiah said.

“The Gods forbid Yael to enter the magic realm. How did he get in?” Xandra said.

“Yael is powerful. Knowing him, he must successfully enter the magic realm without sweat. But it only means one thing, he is the only one who can enter, not his ally.” Elder Jonathan explained.

“And Yael is a hybrid of three genes comprising beast, demon, and wizard, which means he has also the ability to protect himself from any curse,” Elder Jeremiah let out.

“As far as I know, he got the black diamond,” I said.
