Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reclaiming His Rejected Hybrid Mate : Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

The room does not return to normal. Not really. Even after Malisha has made her decision, it is far from normal. Even after they all nod and pretend as though they are ready, there is something heavy in the air. It feels so unavoidable, and Malisha feels it the most. She is seated now with her head against the headboard, deep in thought. There is a glass of water in her hand that she has not touched. Her fingers are steady, but her mind is far from steady. Nothing inside of her is. She only tries to maintain steadiness outwardly simply because she can tell that everyone around her is worried, and the last thing she needs is all five of them fussing over her when she is this close to losing her shit. Because at the end of the day, she can feel it. That presence. It is faint and distant, but it is still there. Waiting, and she is trying to hold on to her sanity. "You need to drink that." Grayson's voice pulls her out of her thoughts.Malisha glances at the glass then at him. "You

"No." They all say. Grayson's voice is dangerously low and deadly. It is controlled in a way that feels even more dangerous than shouting. "She is not yours." Malisha's lips curves again. It is that same wrong smile that makes them feel as though they are looking at something so dangerous inside her. "You keep on saying that like it matters." Sage who has been quiet all this time steps forward immediately. His energy shifts, as he says, "Get out." Malisha turns to look at him. "You." Sage says nothing. "you are the one who touched the thread." Sage pauses for a second. Grayson is confused, but does not ask as the only one in mind now is Malisha. Sage says nothing. Malisha inhales slowly. Her shoulders rise then fall. "I was waiting," she continues. "But she just keeps on ignoring me.Every one looks, and they can all tell the thing is referring to Malisha not accepting the call. Grayson jaw hardens, and he steps forward. "You do not have to wait for anything." He glares. "By

It has been two days since that day, and Malisha is still yet to wake up. The room feels wrong. It feels empty as it is just Malisha lying on the bed, unmoving. She is too still and quiet. She still breathes, but that is all she does. Beatrix, Sage, Grayson, Iris, Kimora, Mirabel, David(Malisha's father), Leo and Ophelia have all tried to wake her up. All to no avail. Beatrix had told them that her mind is probably exhausted from all the work it has been put through, and while that is a reasonable reason, it still does nothing to reduce the way they all feel. Grayson is yet to leave Malisha's side. He holds her hand and speaks to her gently hoping that she can at least hear what he is saying. Kimora opens the door, and stands near the door. "Grayson," she calls out to him. "Yes?" "You need to get some rest." "No." She sighs because the finality in his voice is not lost. Mirabel sighs from the corner. "You have been here all day." "And I will be here all night." Iris glance

Grayson and Sage freeze. "Things like what?" Sage asks stepping closer. Malisha hesitates at first. "Malisha." She looks at Grayson. "It knows you." There is silence at first until Grayson asks, "WHat does that mean?" Malisha shrugs. "I do not know fully, but..." Her voice drops even more. "It did say you are the only reason I have not come willingly."Grayson does not breathe or move. Sage on the other hand immediately understands. "Meaning it is adjusting strategy." "Stop talking as if this is some kind of game," Grayson snaps."It is a game," Sage calmly replies. "And we are losing time." Malisha leans back slightly, and closes her eyes briefly. "It is getting smarter." And that is a real problem. It becoming smarter only means better manipulation and strategy. Malisha yawns, and Grayson immediately says, "You need to rest." Malisha nods. "But your parents, brother and friends need to know you are awake," Grayson says. Malisha nods and decides to mind link her family.

Morning wastes no time when coming. It is too fast, but yet it still comes. Malisha is already awake before the sun rises. Of course she is, but at least she slept. Her eyes are fixated on the ceiling. She is quiet and still, but inside, she nothing inside of her is quiet. The voice inside her is still insistent on her choice. Although it has mellowed down now. Malisha tightens are jaw. Her voice is barely above a whisper, but it feels loud in her own head. There is a knock on the door. Mirabel is still asleep so, she goes to open it. When she opens the door, she sees Iris and Kimora. The two of them pause when they see their friend. She looks fine, but still, they still can't help but be afriad of the fact that she is fine. "Did you even sleep?" Kimora asks her. "Of course I did." Mirabel is now awake, and she mutters groggily, "Barely." Malisha shrugs. "In my defense, I have been asleep for three days." Iris narrows her eyes at her. "That is not enough seeing as even when you
