All Chapters of Rejected For Another's Mate: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Jordan arrived at his destination and due to the place being not easy to navigate with a car, he packed it at the foot of what seemed to be a forest.Putting the car keys in his pocket, he walked the short remaining distance while eyes were occasionally skimmed on the map on his phone screen.Something felt off though, the more he walked the different the area became. From green and life-like trees to leafless grey and lifeless. Was the GPS not working properly? He asked himself because he doubted anyone lived there.The red dot continued to blink until it came to a stop, signaling that he had reached his destinationWhen he looked up, he was in the middle of dry land with trees as desolate as his soul at the moment.Was this the place? He turned back to see where he left his car, which was meters away and he swallowed hard.Where was the green forest just behind him?What Jordan didn't know was that the moment he stepped foot into the dead-looking forest with leafless trees, his rea

The sound of whistling wind and nocturnal birds kept Jordan awake, well in a way.The truth was he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to. What if he slept and woke up to realize that it was all but a dream. There was simply no way he was closing his eyes, not when he, at last, had her in his arms. When there was finally peace in her face.Pushing her brown hair away from her face before tucking them behind her ears, he adjusted the animal hide. His eyes were magnetically drawn to her as if he was trying to capture her features and freeze them on time, never to forget that diamond face.With morning light casting its rays through the little spaces between the window and door, he could see his mate better. The physical closeness they shared made her body temperature send signals to places he didn't wish to name. With one leg draped on his and her hand loosely resting on his stomach, she seemed peaceful, content even.Those days he hadn't been able to see her, be with her, had been unbe

Jordan waited for Selly to say what she thought her name was because apparently him using the same name he mentioned during when he was rejecting her, left a bitter taste.“My name?”“Yes.” He waited. In his mind, she was playing games and he was willing to wait until she was ready for the conversation. “Well, I do have a name.” She lied.Technically she had one but she just couldn't remember it. Now there was a possibility that her name was actually Selly but she couldn't just trust a stranger.The gears in her mind shifted, finding a name she could come up with but even that ended up being hard, picking a name at random.“Selly,” He bit his lower lip, not knowing what to say.“Ponds.” She blurted the first thing that came to mind.Jordan's pupil widened ever so slightly, what kind of name was that?“My parents named me Ponds.” Another lie. Keepers of the supernatural realm were never born. They never had a history or something called a lineage. They were chosen by the Goddess her

So, her parents weren't from that desolate place, he deduced from her silence.She had asked him out whether he also couldn't remember who he was, did that mean that he was supposed to forget his past?And if that were true, what did it mean to both Selly and himself?An old realization hit him again for the umpteenth time, they were both tricked into whatever the trap was, Jordan thought, unaware of the fact that Selly was kidnapped and brought to the forest without her consent while he was simply lured into it out of desperation. She was close to teleporting back to Erichon when those people caused an accident and the van flipped.“So Ponds” Jordan called her by her new name, something he noticed made Selly more receptive and less guarded, "are you the only one who lives in these parts of the forest?” As much as he wanted not to ask, curiosity was eating him.“ Why do you ask?” He hated to admit it but he was jealous. Envious of the other man's access to his woman.“Just curious.”

Jordan didn't waste, quickly he laid her flat on the ground as the heel of his palm sat on top of the other and started compressing her chest in hope to revive her weak pulse.“One, two, three…” He counted a couple more and bent down. Tilting her head, he pinched her nose ready to give her a breath when all of a sudden, Selly coughed. Immediately, he closed his eyes as Selly threw up on him in one big splash. Jordan didn't move his face away as he got frozen in the mess while Selly continued to cough out the liquid in her lungs.Opening his eyes, he wiped his face as a sigh of relief escaped him. Thank Goddess! Immediately, he pulled her into a tight hug. That was a close call, he thought.His hand settled gently and rubbed her back. He was so scared that something major happened to her. For once he tasted the feeling of really losing her.A little late and he could not have found her in the river. A single mistake and he would remain mateless forever.Now he knew just how she m
