Rejected

Chapter 25

ASHTON

"No," I whisper as I see the blade go through Méno. The dark angel throws him away, almost like a rag doll.

Tears cascade down my face as I see Theo and Gabriel cry over a dead Méno. Méno's dead.

The angel who taught me how to fight, taught me how to be strong. Méno taught me what sadness can really be.

Méno kept me company when I was lonely, he was stuck in that hell hole with me. He took my beatings. He gave me hope and courage.

Now he's gone.

Just like that.

My eyes rest on his body, hoping he'll wake up, or move. Just do anything to show he's alive.

But he doesn't.

Méno's gone.

"Who's next?" The dark angel speaks up. I glare at his black and white wings, that fucking bastard killed Méno! He turns to me and smirks.

He quickly pulls me up, making me groan. Hw drags me to the front and I collapse on the ground. He nudges me and I stand on my knees, my eyes raking over the army.

"This one valuable?" He smirks. I look around to see everyone staring blankly at me. No emotion, I turn to Gabriel.

His eyes are piercing through mine. I almost break into a smile as I see love flicker through his eyes.

A slap to the head snaps me out of my gaze with Gabriel. I look up at the dark angel, he's lost his smirk.

He throws me away and I breath out relieved.

As I make my way up, I feel something cold against my neck, I freeze. Like an ice sculpture, I'm frozen.

"I ask again, is he precious to anyone? He'll be killed if you guys won't talk. If you just say the word, we can make a deal," The dark angels voice says from behind.

My eyes flicker back to Gabriel. He looks so conflicted, I send him a look. Telling him not to do it.

The dark angel behind me sighs. "Alright."

The blade leaves my neck, I close my eyes as I wait for the blade to come back. It will either go through me, or in me. I shudder as I take my last breath.

I smile, smile because I could see my mate before I'd die. Smile because my mate loves me, because he's mine and I'm his.

I smile because I've had a great life. I smile because I'll meet Méno.

"STOP!" A voice calls out. I snap my eyes wide open to stare at Blaze. I frown, what is happening?

"He precious to you Blaze," The dark angel chuckles. Blaze who was in the air, lands on the ground magestically. His wings drag behind him as he walks beside Lucifer. I notice them sharing a knowing look along with Gabriel.

What is going on?

"Answer," The dark angel growls.

Blaze sniffles and I look at him in disbelief. What the fuck? "He's my lover," Blaze sighs. I almost gasp as I believe the act.

Lucifer growls and almost punches Blaze. Gabriel and Xander holds him back. I look up at the dark angel, his eyes are as wide as his mouth.

I'd probably be shocked too if I didn't know it was an act.

He believes I'm the lover of Lucifer's mate. What's more perfect than that? I'm hurting their mate bond and he thinks that's going to make Lucifer weaker.

As I finally get the plan I smirk.

"BLAZE!" Lucifer cries as Blaze walks to the front. Lucifer does nothing but 'struggle' in Xander and Gabriel's arms. I wonder why no one has questioned how the ruler of hell is only being held back by two people.

"DON'T DO THIS TO ME! I THOUGHT YOU FUCKING LOVED ME!" Lucfier cries. I swear I believed him. He's crying and trashing around, almost collapsing on the ground.

I look back at the dark angel. He's smiling, he thinks Lucifer is weak.

"May I have my lover back? He is precious to me," Blaze speaks up, looking hurt and concerned. My eyes connect with him and he winks at me.

The dark angel smiles. He won't care about Blaze now that he's 'not' Lucifer's loving mate.

This plan is genius.

Blaze picks me up and walks me back to the others. 'Don't worry fucker, I'm not going to make out with you. Gross as fuck,' He sends through mind link. I just grin at the powerful creature.

He passes me over to Gabriel and I smile at my mate. "I've missed you, so much," I cry. Not caring that I'm sobbing in front of the most powerful creatures in the world. I'm just happy to be back in the loving arms of my mate.

Gabriel smiles, tears flooding his eyes. "I missed you too my wolf. I was so worried about you."

He leans down and captures my lips in a passionate kiss. My arms instantly wrap around him.

"Break it off, we're going to war," Theo breaks us apart. I almost snap at him but remember that he's just lost Méno. I keep quiet.

"You lied!" The dark angel growls as he stares at us. I look at Blaze who's currently standing next to a strong Lucifer.

"Of course fucker, not like I would fuck that," He motions towards me. I smile but roll my eyes.

"You will regret this," The dark angel glares and disappears into the army of the dark creatures.

"Ashton, you shouldn't fight," Gabriel smiles sadly. I shake my head. "The wolvesbane is almost out of my body, I can do this."

He sighs and kisses me again.

"I love you, my wolf."

"I love you too, my angel."

"CHARGE!" A loud voice yells. We turn to see the dark army running towards us.

I send Gabriel a nod. He smiles. "Ready my wolf?"

I grin.

"Yes."
