Rejected By My Mate

Chapter 23

Layla's POV

After confessing my feelings to Alex, I sulked myself in my room for hours until morning. All I did was cry my heart out. The memory of Alex and I keeps flashing in my head. I have failed Alex. I'd rather be her best friend forever than to lose her. Why hadn't I realized this before? I'm so selfish. I remember her face filled with confusion and frustration which bothered me so much. I have hurt her.

If I have a mate, this confession wouldn't happened and if I am not a f*cking omega I wouldn't lose hope of finding my mate. If I could just shift, I wouldn't suffer like this.

I groaned and got up from my bed. My eyes were swollen because I didn't get a chance to sleep. I finally dragged my feet towards my bathroom and took a long shower.

I should make things right with Alex. I can't afford to lose her. She's my only best friend. Maybe I should learn to accept that she has a mate and I haven't.

I sighed and I felt a pang of pain in my heart. I hope Alex will talk to me. Even if it hurts so much seeing her with Azrael, I will try to accept it. I want her to be happy with her mate.

I got out of my room and went to Alex's room. I knock slightly but there's no response.

"A-Alex?" I called. I waited but there's still no response. I know she can hear me because she has a very clear hearing.

"Alex? Please talk to me?" I called again. Yet, I haven't heard from her. I sighed.

Is she still mad at me? "Alex, I'm sorry… please let's talk…"

I heaved a deep breath and decided to go in. I turned the doorknob and a quiet empty room greeted me. I look at her bed but she's not there. The bed sheets were clean and tidy. Looks like no one slept in there. I frowned. My heart rate increased. I hastily went to her bathroom and opened it, but, it's empty.

I hurriedly got out of Alex's room and went to Azrael's room. I knock repeatedly in a hurry. "Azrael? Are you there? Please open the door!"

I heard a grunt inside then the door busted open revealing a sleepy Azrael. He looked like a mess and there were dark circles around his eyes. Did he sleep or what?

"What do you want, Layla?" he asked annoyed. I sighed.

"Did you see, Alex?" I asked abruptly while pacing back and forth. I saw his forehead creased and frowned.

"Wait---I thought you two were together last night. What happened? Alex was in pain and I also felt it. I thought I'm going to die because I fell unconscious onto the cold floor. I slept on the floor all night." he uttered and my heart rate sped up in nervousness.

Where's Alex?

"S-She's not in her room. Last night we had some misunderstanding and I know it's my fault. She vanished in my sight and I thought she just went to her room but when I went to her room a while ago, she's not there and her bed and bathroom were clean like there's no one sleeping in there." I said anxiously.

I started pacing back and forth. Azrael has an unreadable expression.

"The pain last night was new. Something happened to Alex. We must find her!" he said and I nodded.

We parted ways and started finding Alex in the mansion. But, after how many minutes, Azrael and I met in the living room without Alex. We both pacing back and forth. We don't know what to do. Alex is not in the mansion. Where did she go? This is all my fault. I sat on the sofa and sobbed. I couldn't help it.

I saw Sabrina walk towards us. Maybe she can help find Alex.

"Layla, Azrael, where's Alex? I need to talk to her." she mumbled. But frowned when she saw me crying. "Why are you crying?" she asked.

"We can't find Alex. She's not in the mansion." Azrael mumbled while still pacing back and forth. He's probably more worried than I am because of the bond.

"It's my fault why Alex left without telling anyone where she went. If I just knew, I stopped her." I said, feeling mad at myself. I shouldn't have confessed my feelings to her. I am so selfish about my own feelings not knowing she will be more hurt than I am.

Sabrina frowned. "It will be hard finding her." she mumbled sadly and I felt my heart sunk.
