Rejected By My Mate novel Chapter 98

[Alice]

A month later.

The entire magic realm celebrates the Green Moon Festival, which only happens once a year. Everyone, especially me and my sisters, was so excited to witness the blue moon turn to green moon together while holding hands.

“Finally, we were watching the green moon together. I was really looking forward to this five years ago.” Willow said, feeling nostalgic.

“I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault.” I said with guilt.

“Hey. It doesn’t matter now. What’s important is today. We are watching it together now. And this matters the most.” Xandra said, and squeezed my hand with a smile.

“Yeah. Thank heavens you are here with us again.” Val said and smiled gratefully.

“This felt so great,” Damona uttered. We all had a smile plastered on our lips while still looking up at the moon.

“Hey! Do you remember our dirty little secret?” Demonise said.

We all looked at each other while grinning deviously. “Are we going to do it again?” Xandra asked with excitement.

“Without a doubt, sister!” Val grinned.

“This never gets old!” Willow and I chuckled.

“Is this worth the trouble, though?” Willow said, smirking.

“The gods wouldn’t find out, anyway!” Demonise said with confidence and we all burst out laughing.

“Are you sure they won’t?” I raised an eyebrow. My sisters giggled.

“Well… Uhm, maybe?” Demonise shrugged, and they burst into laughter. I shook my head in amusement.

“I think the gods will only think that it’s a catastrophe,” Willow said in between laughing.

“Just like what they thought back then!” Xandra chimed, giggling.

“Haha, until now they still do not know that it was us who did it!” Damona exclaimed.

I still remember what happened a hundred and eight years ago. We stole the divine pentagon stone that keeps all the high-ranking spirits of divine beasts in control. It brought a disaster to the promised land and the council members have no choice but to seal everyone in the western land. Until now, they still have no clue that we are the culprits because we leave no tracks. Well, we were young and troublesome, but wise back then… and I think nothing ever changes. Hehe.

“How about we will play some tricks on Jupiter using the divine pentagon stone?!” Val said with a wicked smile and my sisters agreed. And they began planning our moves while consulting me.

“Let’s do it tomorrow. I know a perfect place to execute the plan.” I suggest. They raised a thumbs up while grinning.

“Let’s keep them busy for a week!”

“We will return the stone this time. But let’s make it hard for them!”

“This is going to be so much fun!” we all blurted out and then burst out laughing.

After the talk with my sister, I checked the kids in their rooms who were fast asleep already. Then my feet subconsciously bring me in front of Azrael’s room. It’s quiet. Maybe he is already asleep. I let out a sigh and then teleported to the rooftop. Whenever I couldn’t sleep, I always found myself here.

It’s now 2:30 A.M., but I’m still wide awake. I stood up while still staring at the fascinating two moons with a smile on my face. The wind sways my long silvery blue hair that reaches the ground like waves. The moon's glow also makes my hair glow radiantly. A pair of arms circled around my waist, so I tilted my head only to meet Azrael's intense gaze.

"Why are you still awake?" he whispered and kissed my cheeks. My face flushed at the sudden contact. He tightened his hold on me while staring into my eyes, but he suddenly frowned. "Your eyes…" he muttered while blinking.

I turned to face him, then leaned my head on his chest and also wrapped my arm around him. "The light in my eyes has faded when I use it in the eternal unknown. I don't know if it will return to normal again…" I said and let out a sigh. I looked up to see his reaction. He had a stunned look on his face.

He raised his hand and caressed my hair gently. "My wife, we will put back the light in your eyes again. I am here and our children to be your light," he said with a smile.

"M-My wife?" my eyes widened slightly.

He smirked and rubbed my face gently. "Don't you remember the promise we made? Once you return, you will marry me. I can't wait to make you mine forever…" then he kissed the tip of my nose. I couldn't help but smile. My heart was pounding so loud in my chest like crazy and I think I blushed. For some reason, I couldn't stop myself from smiling.

"Hm. Of course, I still remember our promise. How could I forget it?" I said and then raised my left hand to show him the ring he put on my finger when he proposed five years ago. It's the ring that I valued so much because he put so much effort and sweats into making the ring.

He smiled so widely, and then his expression changed. I gasped when he suddenly crashed his lips onto mine. It was gentle at first, but his kiss became demanding and rough. My legs become wobbly, so I grab his nape for support while responding to his kisses with all I can. He was being dominant and his hands traveled on my back, pressing and feeling my burning skin. His heat radiates on my body and it makes my head fuzzy.

"Azrael…" I whispered as I gasped for air. As I opened my eyes, I saw him half-turning into his wolf form. His canines came out and his bright brown eyes now glimmered with golden flecks.

Damn, he is so hot. I felt my canines also came out.

"Alice… your eyes have a little golden glow," he uttered and smiled.

"Really?"

He nodded and licked his canines. "You look so gorgeous with your canines," he said and also licked my canines. I felt a shiver run down my spine. Ugh, I have to control this growing desire.

I smiled and said, "I want to run. It’s been a long time."

"Okay. Let's run together," he said, then transformed into his full wolf form. His rare silvery black fur looks so smooth and gorgeous. I couldn't help but caress his fur with a smile.

"I really love your fur," I said and then also transformed into my full wolf's form with golden-white fur. Sadly, my eyes didn’t glow like before.

Azrael was staring at me, mesmerizingly. “Your tail and some parts in your head turned into silvery blue. You look so gorgeous...” he said through our special mind connection.

“What?” I let out in surprise. My fur changes like the color of my hair? What’s happening?

“Your beauty dazzled me.”

“I am?” I couldn’t help but smile widely.

“Yes. You are the most gorgeous wolf I have ever seen in my life.”

His compliments flattered me and I like the feeling of being complimented by the man I love. I jumped down while running in the air, since I couldn’t use my wings anymore. I heard Azrael’s wings flutter while following me. As my feet reached the ground, he finally managed to ask me.

“Why didn’t you use your wings?” he asked. I couldn’t really keep secrets from him.

“My wings also vanished in the eternal unknown.”

“What?! Impossible!”

“It’s true. It’s not a big deal to me anymore.”

“But your wings are a part of you…”

“Yes, it’s a part of me that was lost forever, but what happened, happened. It’s my consequence, and I didn’t regret sacrificing my wings.”

“If so, let me be your wings forever.”

It made my heart melt. Oh, Azrael, you do not know how much your words mean to me. “I would love to, my husband,” I said and winked at him, then ran faster into the woods and he followed closely behind while making me call him husband again and again.
