Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 92

5 years later.

At the central castle, everyone was so busy preparing for the 5th birthday celebration of the half fox triplets, namely Alexia, Ariya, and Azel.

“Alexia, come on!” Ariya called from outside Alexia’s room for the fifth time already. Alexia groaned and wore her storage necklace, where she put her gifts for her brother and sister. She stepped out of her room with an annoyed expression. Without warning, Ariya grabbed her wrist and dragged her swiftly.

“What’s the rush about?!” Alexia uttered, annoyed by being dragged, but Ariya ignored her.

“Did you forget our father will come home today?” Ariya said with excitement.

“I know,” Alexia sighed. She was also excited seeing their father after a year of traveling around the magic realm, still looking for their missing mother. Her memories of Alice from 5 years ago were still fresh in her mind. She wished they could see her again. She just couldn’t forget the woman who gave her name and loved them like her own.

As they walked downstairs, Ariya kept babbling about how excited she was about their birthday party later. When they reached the living room, the five sisters of the Great Sextuplets with their family were chatting happily.

“Oh, Ariya, Alexia, come here. Happy birthday to you both!” Xandra greeted them first and followed by the others.

“Thanks, everyone!” the half fox sisters said in unison and everyone just smiled at them.

“Where’s Azel?” Demonise asked when she didn’t see the boy.

“Oh, Azel went to the central plaza. He said he forgot something.” Ariya replied while shrugging her shoulders. They sat down in the empty seats and played with Demonise 6 months’ old baby boy.

“Azrael is late.” Val uttered.

“Who said I was late?” Azrael said when he entered the living room. He smiled when he saw the sisters and their husbands with their kids.

Everyone turned to look at him and smiled.

“Father!” Ariya jolted up and ran to hug Azrael. Alexia smiled and also hugged their father.

“Father, we miss you!” the half fox sisters said in unison.

“I miss you too. Sorry for not always being here for you.” Azrael said guiltily.

“We understand, father. Hope fate brings us to mother again.” Alexia said, and everyone smiled after hearing her words. After all these years, they never lose of hope of seeing Alice again.

~~~

Even though 5 years had passed, everyone still remembered Alice. Her disappearance was still a mystery to everyone. Because of their admiration for the goddess, they built her a statue in every kingdom and churches. The most visited amongst places was the church. Every day, people would offer offerings for the goddess and ask for blessings. The greatness of the goddess or Lady Alice would always linger in their hearts and memory. Without the goddess’ help, there is no magic realm anymore. And it’s also a mystery when the threats from demons disappeared. They have never spotted a single soul from the demon kingdom since the goddess’ disappearance. Rumors spread that Lady Alice exterminated the demon clan and sacrificed herself. Although there are some demons in Moonlight Kingdom, they didn’t kill them when they prove they aren’t the same from those wicked demons.

In the southern part of the magic realm at the Moonlight Kingdom.

At the north street, where it was packed with busy people buying something from the vendor, two children—a boy and a girl, walked gracefully at the center of the crowd. They were easily noticeable because of their unique aura and clothing that differed from them. When they looked at the children’s faces, they were easily bewitched.

The children were gorgeous!

“Whose children are they?”

“Oh my! So handsome and pretty!”

“They look like the children of a goddess!”

“They look like a prince and a princess!”

“Are they twins?”

The little girl wore a white dress with golden linings. The design was so different, and it helped to show the little girl’s beauty and good imposing manner. The little girl’s skin complexion was like a milky-snow, so delicate. Her purple eyes with golden flecks mesmerize them, her rosy chubby cheeks look so smooth, and with curvy and curly brown hair that reaches her ankle. It’s a miracle that the little girl didn’t stumble on her long hair. She walked gracefully and magically. And the little boy also wore white clothing with golden linings. His golden brown eyes set people frozen on their feet. The little boy’s long silvery blue hair that reached his knees was glowing every time he moved. It fascinates the surrounding people. And somehow the twins looked familiar to them, but they don’t know where they see them. They felt like deja vu.

A wizard gasped when he noticed a look of familiarity between the two kids. “They look like the great sextuplets!” he blurted out, and it caught everyone’s attention. Then the crowd of people started blabbering.

The twins—Yzzabelle and Ezzekiel, heard the word great sextuplets. It piqued their interest.

“Kiel, I want to see those great sextuplets they were talking about.” Yzzabelle said with excitement. “Maybe those great sextuplets know our parents!”

“I’m not sure, Belle. But let’s ask.” Ezzekiel answered.

“Okay!”

They looked around and noticed the wizard who was staring at them. They approach the wizard with a cute smile.

“Excuse me, mister! May we ask you something?” Yzzabelle asked.

The wizard smiled at their cuteness. “Yes, dear. What is it?”

“Hm, may we ask where we can find the great sextuplets you talk about?” Ezzekiel asked.

The wizard stared at them, perplexed. All the kids knew who the great sextuplets were. It’s the first time he encountered a child that didn’t know the great sextuplets who were popular in the entire magic realm.

“Kids, where do you come from? Everyone knows who the great sextuplets are.” the wizard said with a creased forehead.

The twins looked at each other. “Ah, we live in a secluded mountain and it’s our first time in the town so we didn’t know who they were.” Ezzekiel said.

“Oh, I get it.”

“Please tell us about them!” Yzzabelle said with excitement and puppy look. The wizard smiled and led the children to his store. He made them sit at the dinner table and offered them food to eat while he talked.

“Thank you, mister!” the twins said in unison. The wizard smiled and started telling a story about the Great Sextuplets, especially Lady Alice, which caught the twins’ attention. They listened carefully, which made the wizard smile. After the storytelling, the twins asked for Lady Alice’s photo.

“I’m sorry, kids, but I don’t have their photo. However, you can find one in the church.” the wizard said.

“Really? We go then, mister! Thank you for the story and the food!”

The wizard watched them with a smile, still baffled why they didn’t know the great sextuplets when in fact they looked like them. He finds it odd. He just shook his head and shrugged his shoulders. It’s pointless for him to poke his nose in other business.

The twins immediately walked in the church's direction. It didn’t take long for them to find the church. When they saw the statue at the entrance of the church, they gasped in awe.

“Kiel, it’s mother!” Yzzabelle blurted out in joy, then ran to hug the statue. Ezzekiel just smiled at her twin sister. There’s no doubt that the statue was their birth mother. Because of the statue, they can now see their mother’s eyes. All these years, they don’t know the color of their mother’s eyes because they were always closed. The twins were both teary-eyed while staring at their mother’s statue.

“Should we go to the Central Kingdom now?” Yzzabelle asked her twin brother with excitement.

“Yes. I can’t wait to see the great sextuplets that also look like our mother.”

“Me too!”

“Are you ready?” Ezzekiel asked and Yzzabelle nodded. They both spread their golden wings wide open and flew upward.

When they spread their wings right at the entrance of the church, the priest saw them and gasped in awe. It was a rare sight to see golden wings. “Are they holy angels?” the priest mumbled to himself while looking up and his gaze followed the retreating figure of the angels.

The twins flew faster like a flash. While up in the air, they were chasing each other and bet to see who flew faster. Their childish fight continues until they reach the vast plaza. They noticed the crowd below and decided to take a look. When they entered the crowded plaza, everyone quickly noticed them with adoration.

“Ah! They’re so adorable!”

“Whose children are they?”

“Are they twins?”
