Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 93

After hugging the twins one by one, Azrael and the others looked at the twins while feeling anxious. Their heart rate quickens while waiting for the twins’ explanation. Nervousness, longing, sadness, excitement, and all other emotions were visible in Azrael and the sisters’ eyes.

After knowing Azrael is their father, the twins were feeling ecstatic and Yzzabelle quickly sat in Azrael’s lap while Ezzekiel kept his cool and sat between Azrael and Willow, although he wanted to sit on his father’s lap, too. Though he keeps staring at Azrael and Yzzabelle while smiling. Now he knows where Yzzabelle got her brown hair.

Azrael couldn’t explain his feelings. He was happy yet sad because the twins grew up without him by their side. He wasn’t even there when they were born and held them close. It was his dream to cradle his babies in his arms while singing them a lullaby to sleep. But now they can already walk when he meets them. His inner wolf, Khael, also shares the same feelings. Well, they were both devastated when Alice left, even though they know the reason why she has to leave them. But they didn’t even know that Alice was pregnant back then. Now they were remorseful, but there’s nothing they can do anymore.

“Can you recall where your mother was?” Damona asked, nervously.

The twins nodded reluctantly and let out a deep sigh as if they shoulder a big burden. “Mother was… inside a cocoon. She was sleeping all the time.” Yzzabelle said with a sad expression.

Everyone gasped and froze for a moment, and the silence was deafening. A baby’s giggles broke the silence, and that made everyone reacted unbelievably and loudly. “WHAT?!”

The baby was startled and cried because of their loud voice. Echo tried to shush the baby but didn’t stop. He stood up and brought the baby away from the others. The other kids present on the other side were also startled and stopped playing for a while. The half fox triplets, Yzzabelle, and Ezzekiel were also startled a little because of the adults’ sudden reaction.

“What happened to her??” Demonise asked anxiously. The thought of Alice inside a cocoon makes her heart clenched tightly.

The twins let out a deep sigh with a sad face. “We don’t know. We are waiting for her to wake up.” Ezzekiel replied, with his shoulders drooping down.

Everyone fell silent and lost in deep thoughts while trying to decipher what happened to Alice. Their anxiety grew, and they fidgeted. A lot of what ifs were running through their minds.

While the adults lost in their thoughts, Ariya smiled at the twins with her goofy smile and said, “Yzzabelle, Ezzekiel, you can call me big sister from now on!”

“Sure!” Yzzabelle agreed right away with a huge smile on her face.

Ezzekiel looked at Ariya and her appearance. He was amused when Ariya’s big fox ear slightly moved when she talked with giddiness.

Alexia and Azel were also thinking deeply while imagining their mother inside a cocoon, and they frowned deeply.

Damona cleared her throat and got everyone’s attention. “Kids, tell us everything about what happened and how you found us.” she uttered, then everyone’s attention was back on the twins again.

The twins looked at each other and nodded. “We remember we were inside a small, golden, transparent cocoon enough for us to move around. Beside our cocoon was also a big cocoon and someone was inside. We were looking at her every time and we tried to wake her up by knocking our feet into our cocoon, but she didn’t respond, no matter how much noise we made. Although I think the noise we made was so muffled because of our tiny feet.” Ezzekiel said, with a look of reminiscing.

Yzzabelle nodded and continued explaining. “One day, a fox spirit with blue fur appeared outside the cocoon and he said that the woman inside the cocoon is our mother, named Alice. He teaches us how to say our mother’s name and we quickly learn how to say it. It’s the first word we utter.”

“A fox spirit? Is it Blue? That’s why he also disappeared that day. It turns out he was with Alice all along.” Xandra said and sighed. She remembered looking for Blue when she couldn’t find him together with the triplets the next day after Alice’s disappearance.

“We don’t know if that’s really Blue. But we can ask Alice about it. So what happened next?” Val asked, eager to know the full details. Although her heart was racing in anticipation.

“After that, the fox spirit disappeared and never appeared again. We were sad, and we tried to get out of the cocoon, but to no avail. All we could do is to watch mother sleeping and call her name all the time until we grow bigger little by little.” Yzzabelle said. She looked at everyone and they were intently listening to her. Then she continued, “One day, someone appeared outside our cocoon. She helped us out of the cocoon successfully and we are so happy that we're out in the open, but when she tried to get mother out, she failed. Mother’s cocoon never breaks, no matter how many times she tries.”

“Yeah. And since we couldn’t walk on our own, she kept us company in the creepy forest and kept us protected from dangerous animals. She then taught us how to walk and speak little by little. And after many days, she tried to convince us to leave the forest and live with her in the village outside the forest, but we didn’t agree. We don’t want to leave our mother behind. In the end, Ashley stayed with us and taught us how to speak clearly and properly. She gave us clothing, shelter, and food inside the forest. She teaches us everything a child should know.” Ezzekiel said with a smile, remembering those times when they were learning.

“We learn faster, so she also taught us how to use our power properly. And then one day, she just vanished without a trace. We are waiting for her to return but it’s already 3 months passed by and still she never showed up.” Yzzabelle said sadly, with a longing expression.

Ezzekiel grip Yzzabelle hand and squeezes it. He continued, “And then we decided to look for her. And to protect mother’s cocoon, we successfully transfer her above our tree house. After securing mother’s safety, we get out of the forest and look for Aunty Ashley everywhere until we arrived in a big town with many people. We heard from an old man that we look like the great sextuplets, so we asked him who they were. The old man told us all about you and it piqued our interest when he mentioned the name Alice. Then, we saw our mother's statue at the church so we hurried to meet all of you.”

The five sisters couldn’t help but feel amazed and now their emotion is like a roller coaster. Their niece and nephew were geniuses. At a young age, they learned how to communicate well with others, even talk like adults. Whoever the woman was with them all these years, they were so thankful for taking care of the twins on their behalf.

Willow felt a tugged in her heart, so she hugged Ezzekiel tightly. “I’m sorry. Aunty wasn’t with you when you needed someone by your side.” she said while wiping her tears, but it keeps flowing down nonstop. She just couldn’t stop herself from being so emotional. She really felt sorry for the twins. They haven’t even hugged their mother yet.

The other sisters were also wiping their tears repeatedly, as well as Azrael, who were so emotional after hearing what they went through. He also hugged Yzzabelle tightly while kissing the top of Yzzabelle's head.

The twins smiled at the sisters. Then Yzzabelle lifts her tiny hand to wipe Azrael’s tears.

Azrael smiled at the little action of his sweet little girl. “Can you bring us to your mother?” Azrael said, and the twins’ eyes sparkled with excitement.

“Of course! How about now?” Yzzabelle and Ezzekiel said in unison, completely forgetting their mission of finding their Aunt Ashley. Since they met the sisters and their father, their focus was diverted and now they are so excited to see their mother again, even though Alice was still sleeping inside the cocoon.

“Then let’s go. I’m dying to see her.” Azrael said, and the sisters shared the same sentiment. They wanted to see Alice now, whether she was unconscious or much better awake.
