Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 94

Alice fluttered her eyes and blinked multiple times, somewhat feeling lost in an unknown space. She doesn't know where she is now. She looked around to look for Darius (Destiny), but she couldn’t feel his aura. As she recollected her thoughts, she remembered her true purpose.

“Is this the eternal unknown?” she mumbled and gasped when she saw a two-way path ahead of her. Both paths were moving like waves and she felt a little dizzy as she stared at it. Now, where would she go?

When she tried to move, she felt the strong gravity pulling her horizontally, vertically, and in a slanting direction. She felt sick to her stomach when she fell into a swirling motion. She tried to keep her balance and follow the pattern until she got a hang on it. Then she stood still while staring at the two paths intently. She tried using her powers, but nothing came out, which made her speechless. Her heart rate quickens in nervousness and she curses under her breath. Right now, she could only rely on her instinct.

“Is this the trial?” she uttered in between breaths. If choosing a path is her trial, she needs to choose wisely. Although she can’t predict the result of this trial, she was still determined to fight.

She closed her eyes and blew some air to calm her nerves. And then she slowly takes a step to the left path with a zigzag way because the other path is straight and looks easy, but looks could be deceiving because the more she stares at that direction the more she feels the danger so she chooses the other way even though it will be a long way or also dangerous. Even so, it’s like she has another choice, so she could only walk down the unknown path.

She keeps walking slowly and with heavy steps to the unknown path she chooses that seems endless and full of nerve-wracking gravity. The gravity was even stronger that kept pushing her away, but she fought the pressure even though her nose bled and the cursed chains of fate were now visible in her body as she kept walking deeper and deeper into the unknown, endless path. The deeper she goes, the more her body aches so painfully. She accepts the pain like it was part of her, though it’s killing her body and soul. The cursed chains grasp too tight and tried to hurt her baby inside her tummy, but she protected them with all her might. When she was in the magic realm, she sealed all the orbs and diamonds inside her to protect her baby, no matter what. She can accept all the pain as long as her baby is safe and unhurt.

Her mind was buzzing, and she coughed up more blood, but she still went on unrelentingly. The extreme pain she felt is too agonizing and quickly drains her energy, which makes her dizzy, but she forces herself awake even though it’s slowly killing her. But she can’t give up now.

She kept walking for too long with heavy steps and then she tried spreading out her wings. For a moment, she was thankful that her wings came out. Speckles of golden glitters from her wings were dancing along the gravity like waves of motion. Now the zigzag path ignites with the flames of her wings either horizontally, vertically, or in waves. Because of it, the unknown path slowly revealed the right way, but still so far to reach. She didn’t know how many hours or days she had been walking and with every agonizing step, her body was trembling and her legs were numb with pain. She could only grind her teeth while trying to accept the excruciating pain.

Alice let out a deep breath and slightly felt relief now that she can see the traps that were swirling with gravity like a whirlwind, although there are small traps that she can’t avoid. However, looking at the endless path almost made her cry. She still has a long way to go. She needs to pass through the path she has chosen, no matter how much it hurts. Luckily, she can see the path clearly now and which side she should step and should not. The extreme pain was still there, but she ignored it and continued walking the path without stopping, though it really was too painful for her body and now it affects her soul.

Her soul has the tiniest cursed chains, yet binds her like a ball of thread. She felt like her soul and body slowly separated because of different kinds of intense pain she can’t explain. It was as if gravity wanted to take away her soul, but she wouldn’t allow it. She knew she was almost at the end of the path and no one could stop her, not even the excruciating pain. Even if she had to crawl all the way, she would do it. If only her power would work, but after using the power of her wings, she can’t use it anymore and her wings vanished.

“Argh!” she grunted when something sharp sliced her skin and now it bleeds. Her lips quivered and let out a sharp breath. Her blood was swirling in waves because of the gravity. She felt dizzy and her eyelids began to droop, but she fought the temptation of drowsiness and just continuously blinked her eyes while walking heavily and slowly.

“How long… should I… keep walking?” she let out with heavy breathing. Her lungs felt like giving out because of her continuous sharp breathing and now her lips were pale and dry.

‘Is there an end to this path?’ she thought with grief. She doesn’t know how long she can go on.

As she blinked her eyes and looked straight, her eyes shone with new hope because she was so near the end of the path. She made it! She rubbed her stomach with a smile while tears streamed down her face.

Five meters away to step out of the end of the path, the gravity went into chaos like a raging storm and she almost flew away, but she managed to hop down and crawl on her way down trying to fight the gravity. She has to fight it eye to eye and force to force. With her remaining energy and strong willpower, she stood up and walked slowly while screaming excruciatingly, just to pass across the raging gravity that kept pushing her, but she kept charging forward with her full force. This time, she was losing more blood. She went through something like this before and still withstand the strong pressure even though this time the pain was more extreme and torturous. It will be a miracle if her body can withstand and bear more pain. No matter what, she had to pass through and get rid of the cursed chains. She can feel the chains slowly detaching from her soul and body.

With every forceful, agonizing scream, her eyes suddenly glowed brightly, but after a while, it got dimmer and dimmer. The light in her eyes was slowly fading.

“I… I’m almost there… Just… four more… steps to… go…” she uttered breathlessly and weakly. She's so weak she can barely stand or step anymore.

Suddenly, her tummy glowed brightly, and she felt a surge of energy. With tears in her eyes, she rubs her tummy gently with a sigh of relief. Because of it, she successfully passed through the end of the path, but her body and soul were burning with flames. The pain lingers excruciatingly like her body and soul would tear apart into tiny pieces when the cursed chains of fate were swirling and gripping her tight uncontrollably, almost weeping agonizingly like the chains have a life itself. The chain was roaring like thunder and with every motion it made, Alice almost lost her sanity and immortality.

Alice was screaming while tears of bloody red streamed down her face. Soon the tears turned black and thick, combining into the bloody red tears streaming down her face nonstop.

After a long time of bloody torture, the cursed chains of fate unbind from her soul and body and turned into a huge black ball with thorns while roaring a nerve-wracking cry that almost ruined Alice's hearing. The ball glowed brightly and after some time; it exploded into tiny and shiny particles and completely dissipated.

Before Alice could react from happiness because finally she was free from the cursed chains of fate, her body gave out. But a force pulled her down, and she fell into nothingness, but her body was too weak to move. She can’t even open her mouth to speak. She didn’t know how long she was falling into nothingness because her tummy was getting bigger and bigger until her babies were moving inside her like a roller coaster. They were so energetic. She tried to touch her huge tummy, but she couldn’t even lift up her hands or move her fingers. It was like her body was paralyzed.

Then time goes on until she can feel her baby’s restlessness. They were kicking painfully, but she just smiled mentally, with a feeling of longingness. She really wanted to caress her tummy and feel them kicking.

Then a voice suddenly rang out of nowhere.

“Three life forms in exchange for three lives.”

She waited for the voice to speak again, but she heard nothing.
