Rejected Love {COMPLETED}

BONUS PART - 1

Maleficent's P.O.V:

"Mel! Hurry up, honey! Aunt Stella and Uncle Edi are here!" Mom shouted from downstairs. My heart thumped with excitement.  

I gave my dress one last look as I twirled in front of my full mirror. It was a simple half-white dress with small floral patterns on it. It reached my mid-thigh, hugging my figure. The fabric felt soft and smooth against my thighs as I twirled once in front of the mirror.

It was a gift from dad for today. I would finally turn 18th today and I could barely hold my excitement. Why excited you ask? I could finally find my mate now. It was something that I had always fantasized about while growing up as I listened to my parents' love story. Dad would always tell me how Mom is his love of the life, his mate, and how they made it together through hard times.

It always made me wonder how it would feel to have someone who exclusively made for you and only for you? Who is supposed to love you all heartedly? Having these thoughts all the time already made me love my mate. I bet they would be super cute! I wanted to meet my mate as soon as possible.

Aside from that, I was also excited for having Uncle Edi and Aunt Stella here on my birthday. It had been eight years since I had last met them. They had shifted to another state with their son......what was his name...? Damn this habit of mine. I often forgot the names of people with who I haven’t interacted much. But I do remember him. He was always by himself whenever they came here. Maybe that’s why even though I was so close to Aunt Stella and Uncle Edi, we still didn’t get to play much with each other. Would he have also come with them?

Recalling that they were already downstairs I pulled out of my thoughts and decided to go down before Mom could come up and drag me down by ear.

I dashed downstairs and reached the last step in the next second. However, as soon as I reached the last step, a sweet scent of strawberries mixed with that of wet soil invaded my senses, making me stop in my tracks. I was momentarily dazed but then came back to myself with a start. My eyes were fixed towards the living room from where the voices of laughter were coming.

"Mel! Come on, honey, we are in the living room." Mom called out sweetly, having heard me coming down. I composed myself and made my way into the living room where the couple, whose faces I remembered clearly, were sitting with bright smiles on their faces. Aunt Stella was wearing a purple top with casual jeans. She was wearing a pearl necklace and multiple rings on her fingers. She really looked like a witch. On the other hand, Uncle Edi was wearing a button-up dress, the upper two buttons were opened casually. They both looked the same and at the same time, different. They looked a bit old, especially Uncle Edi. It was expected though. He was human and Aunt Stella was a witch. They were going to grow old, unlike us vampires.

I smiled on seeing them and was about to walk to them when the scent that I had smelled before again invaded my nostrils and my eyes fell on a brunette boy sitting on the single couch across the room. He was wearing a flannel shirt, a black shirt underneath. He had a lean body with broad shoulders. His dark green eyes were staring at me which made my whole body tingle with an unknown excitement.

He had a high bridge nose that was slightly crooked, thin lips and a square jawline. He was sitting calmly on the couch until our eyes locked with each other. Everything faded around me as my whole being was focusing solely on that person. When I realized that I was staring at him, I quickly tucked my face down as a furious blush crept up my neck and onto my cheeks. I didn’t get to see his expression. So, I peeked at him only to notice that he was also checking me out and my blush deepened. I got a good feeling about this, but just to be sure, I trudged across the room towards him.

Everyone in the room watched carefully as the events unfolded, anticipating in wonder and curiosity about my next move. As I got near, he also stood up as if on instinct, and Mom's voice came into my hearing.

"Honey! Meet Niall, Edi, and Stella's son. He came often with them remember?" She introduced. I had my eyes fixed on the handsome boy. He stared back at me as if rivaling my stare.

"Niall." I test his name on my tongue. The name seemed to linger on m tongue, giving a jittery feeling to my heart. My eyes changed into a shade of glowing dark red instead of my hazel ones with me realizing. His eyes widen in surprise but what was a greater surprise for both of us was the word that came out of my mouth. I never would have thought that I could lose control so easily at the sight of my mate. That’s right. It was the exact confirmation that escaped my lips.

It could happen to pure-blooded vampires, who were born as vampires, especially to the young ones, in some cases. However, I wasn’t supposed to lose consciousness just like that.

"Mate!" I growled, almost in an animalistic tone, my eyes glowing brightly and my blood boiled with excitement. Gasps were heard from everyone present in the room. But I didn’t care. By now, I was feeling like a predator and my prey was just before me, ready to be captured. I was about to jump on him so that I could claim him as mine, but Dad interjected and held me back from the shoulders. The first instinct that came to me was that eliminate this obstacle and reach my mate. However, then dad’s voice brought back the little sanity that was about to snap in my mind.

"Easy there, little one. He's not going anywhere." He whispered in my ear as I let him hold me. my heart was beating so fast as if I had run a marathon, even though that would be nothing or a vampire. After 10 minutes of him calming me down my eyes turned back to their normal hazel color and my mind got clearer. I blushed hard with embarrassment as the thought of what I was about to do just now flashed through my mind.

Mom simply looked at me with teary eyes as she hugged my small frame and soon Dad also followed suit.

"Oh, my small girl has grown up." Mom said in a loving tone as Dad nodded in agreement. Now that I had calmed down, my natural personality came back and I felt giddy all over. Our family moment was short-lived though because Aunt Stella butted in.

"Hey! Let me hug my daughter-in-law now." She exclaimed, grinning widely. My cheeks glowed red when I heard her calling me… that. I couldn’t help but sneak a glance at my mate but he was just sitting there, looking down. He seemed deep in thoughts and I understood. He was probably shocked. After all, he wasn’t a vampire and couldn’t feel the mate bond as much as I do.

Mom let me go as Aunt Stella engulfed me into another hug. Uncle Edi from behind her and ruffled my hair meanwhile sending me a teasing wink.

"So, how's the kiddo doing?" He said wiggling his eyebrows mischievously. That’s Uncle Edi for you. I could help my eyes from darting back to the silent figure of my mate who hadn't spoken a single word since my emotional yet extremely embarrassing outburst. He was still looking elsewhere, absentminded. As if he felt my eyes on him, his head turned towards me and our eyes met. But as soon as they met, he looked away with a hard glare.

My heart sank a bit but I assured myself with the thought that I would work it out with my mate, just like my parents did. I would work it out with him. I would get my mate, My Niall.
