The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 15: Upset
Akiro’s Point of View“Akiro!”I stopped on my track when a familiar voice called me. I spun around to find the source of the voice only to see a petite figure running in my direction.“Zyra,” I smiled at her. “It’s nice to see you again. You’ve been too busy with your dance, huh?”Her cheeks flushed a rosy pink as she tucked a strand of hair that was covering her face. “Yup. The prize for the competition is way too high for us to just chill. Besides, there will be incentives in our other major subjects if we win.”“That’s good to hear. I hope you really win. I’ve seen all your posts when you have practice. You guys are working hard.”“Y-you saw it?” she asked, eyes widening in surprise.I rubbed my nape, feeling embarrassed. Do they really think I don’t use social media? I’m always late when it comes to news, gossip and trends because I don’t use my phone that much aside from checking for updates on our class group chat or when I can’t sleep, so I just scroll through my newsfeed to m

Heli’s Point of ViewWill I receive a punishment from our Royal Highness if I freeze this club along with the people inside? Of course, except my mate. I won’t kill them, I will just freeze them so they will stop pulling Akiro everywhere and hand him different kinds of drinks.He’s obviously tipsy right now, but he still seems to know what’s happening around him and what he’s actually doing. So he was trying to push past the people that were trying to dance with him— including that girl he danced with weeks ago. There was a collective groan and sighs of disappointment when Akiro left the dance floor, but he paid them no mind.He went straight to their table and took the shot that his friend gave him. He drank it at once before excusing himself away from his friends. Knowing where he was heading, I followed him.I could feel my anger flaring up when a girl pushed Akiro inside the men’s restroom. The sound of a click confirmed my thoughts that the girl had a plan on my mate. I snarled b
Last Updated : 2024-12-29The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 17: Phone
Akiro’s Point of ViewI groaned in frustration. I really should have made Heli buy a phone for himself, so I could text or call him whenever I wanted! He said I could call him anytime and he'd be right here immediately, but I’ve been calling him here inside my room for the past thirty minutes and not even a shadow of him can be seen.After a few more minutes of trying, I eventually gave up. Instead of waiting for him to arrive, I picked up my jacket and wallet and went out of the house. I have my own savings from the few side-jobs I did to support my studies. I’ll buy Heli a second-hand phone so I can communicate with him anytime.I locked the gate of our house because my grandparents weren’t home. Once I ensured it was fine, I spun on my heels to leave.Only to bump at the person standing so closely behind me. I didn’t bother looking at who it was; I just smacked his arms. He muttered a low ‘oh’ which made me glare at him.“I’ve been calling you for half an hour! Why didn’t you come?

Heli’s Point of ViewDamn fucking shit.Akiro: I’ll just eat lunch, then I’ll talk to you again, okay? Akiro: In the meantime, you should practice your typing skills. It takes you three business days to finish a single sentence hahaha.I frowned at what Akiro said. Three business days? What was that supposed to mean?I replied with a simple ‘okay’ even if I didn’t completely understand what he meant, then I proceeded to practice typing on the phone just like what Akiro said. I decided not to follow him to the cafeteria so I wouldn’t be distracted by looking at him and listening to their conversation.There were a lot of students around the bench where I’m currently seated. I was inside Akiro’s class earlier, secretly chatting with him. In all honesty, I’m grateful he thought of this idea. I enjoyed chatting with him and watching his reaction. Though I do feel bad that he’s not focusing his attention on the lecture, he didn’t seem to mind.It was half an hour later that I received a m

Akiro’s Point of ViewHandsome. He knows he’s freaking handsome, so he’s doing it on purpose to fluster the hell out of me because he knows I’m so gay about him— wait, he knows?! Does he know?I groaned in frustration, shutting the book I was supposed to read. I can’t think of anything else aside from that freaking vampire's smile! There’s a small part of me regretting that I teased him about smiling more often, because I keep on getting flustered when he directs it at me, though a larger part of me actually likes it. He wasn’t kidding when he said that he actually looks charming when he smiles. It makes me want to keep Heli’s smile all to myself. I don’t want others to see it.Not like he’s actually showing himself to other people. I know he’s just around the campus because he seems to know every single thing that happens to me even though I haven’t seen him around.And I’m kind of satisfied with that— I’m the only one who sees him, besides the time he was seen outside the campus wh
Last Updated : 2024-12-31The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 20: Plan
Heli’s Point of ViewThis is one of the few times that I hated my enhanced senses. All the mixed scents of the people mingling at once makes my head and nose hurt. These human beings are lucky they can’t smell what I’m smelling right now.Not to mention the loud music... They should be grateful I managed to control my senses, so I wouldn’t be too affected by all these smells and noises. Mother taught us how to control it in case we tried to visit the human world, and it did its purpose every time I was in a club to watch over my mate. At least, their school was quite tolerable because no one was playing such loud music; It was only the people’s constant talking. But this one’s getting on my nerves.There were people making out everywhere I looked. There were people dancing near the pool. There were people playing outside. Then there were people going upstairs to find a vacant room and fuck each other to oblivion. They don’t even have the decency to lower their voices. I could fucking

Akiro’s Point of View“I-I’ll just go to the restroom...” I muttered to Roger, my vision swirling around so I had to hold on to the table.I couldn’t clearly see his face, but I think I saw Roger looking at me and... smirked?“I’ll go with you there. It’s on the second floor.”Despite my confusion, I still nodded, which I immediately regretted because I just got dizzier. Someone held my left arm, while another one snaked an arm around my waist. Had I not been dizzy, I would’ve pushed their arms away from me. Heli’s just around! I don’t want him to see anyone touching me!But I let them be so I wouldn’t get lost looking for the restroom.I was dragging my feet as we reached the upper floor. Roger and his friends who came to accompany me to the restroom were murmuring to each other, something I couldn’t hear. Though I’m pretty sure I heard them snickering and someone even high-five behind me.We continued heading towards the room at the farthest corner where no one was heading to. Roger

Heli’s Point of View“Just one chance,” I plead, only to have Akiro give me a blank look. My shoulders hunched, head hanging low in dismay.“I have already told you not to engage with it. It’s better to ignore the rumors than to address them. No matter what we say, they’ll still come up with their own ideas about us. We’ll just waste our time and energy.”I scowled, clenching my fists that were stuffed inside my pocket. “I hate how they keep on talking about you as if you weren’t there. Aren’t you bothered by it?”Akiro shrugged. “I’ve been dealing with this kind of thing since I was a first-year student. Time just made me used to it, aside from how I just learned to ignore it.”His response didn’t soothe me at all. It just made me even more mad. He seemed to know what I was thinking as he shook his head, chuckling a bit before he gently nudged my arm. “Don’t worry about it, Heli. It doesn’t bother me at all. Besides, it wasn’t negative, you said. They just can’t seem to wrap it in t

The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 60: Special
Third Person’s Point of ViewAkiro smiled as he continued staring at his sleeping mate. They’re cuddled in their bed with Heli’s arms wrapped tightly around Akiro’s waist. He couldn’t pull away because the vampire’s hold was tight even while sleeping, so he was left with no choice but to remain lying down on Heli’s arms.And Akiro is absolutely not complaining. It’s been a while since he stared at Heli’s face, and it felt like he'd forgotten some of the vampire’s features. So right now, all he did was to commit every detail of Heli’s face to his memory all over again.Akiro was so preoccupied that he failed to notice that Heli cracked an eye open and immediately caught his mate staring intently at him. There was the look of— dare he say— fondness and admiration in Akiro’s eyes that made Heli’s heart flutter.He took advantage of his mate’s obliviousness. He shamelessly stared back, enjoying the sight of Akiro’s morning look that he had been secretly cataloguing inside his mind. Even w
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 59: Advice
Third Person’s Point of View“Work, huh?” Hendrix grinned at his youngest brother, who was sitting on the couch across from him, and was actually pouting as he glared at nowhere. But if anyone pointed it out, Heli would deny it and freeze their mouths until Heli decided to take pity on them.“Can you believe that? I can provide him with everything he needs and wants if he just tells me what it is, and then he can live comfortably. But no, he wants to work,” Heli said, disbelief clear in his voice. “He’s an independent man, Heli. He’s not used to just sitting idly in the corner while someone serves him everything on a silver platter. He wants to be able to stand on his own without relying on anyone,” Hadrien’s mate— Thaia— softly said.“Unlike the rest of us who had a similar lifestyle in our human lives and here, it’s quite easy to adjust. But for Akiro, who’s different from us in every possible way, it will be hard for him, and he might have more demands to make before he fully adju
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 58: Work
Third Person’s Point of View“You didn’t tell me the Emporium is for elite vampires! How am I supposed to pay for all of these?” Akiro whined upon seeing the prices of all the clothes and pants he picked, as well as the knitting materials and the newspapers he picked for his grandparents.Heli frowned at him. “You don’t need to pay for anything, Akiro, so you don’t have to worry about the price.”“But how about those knitting materials and newspapers I took for grandma and grandpa? This costs a lot!”“Like I said: you don’t have to worry about the price. We’re a royal family, Aki. Money is not a problem for us.”Akiro looked away, pouting. He doesn’t like that he’d owe Heli such a large amount of money, but it’s not like he has a choice. He has no money. He doesn’t have work where he can earn—An idea formed in his mind. He turned to face his mate, his expression giddy. “I’ll find a job!”Heli raised an eyebrow at him. “What?”“I’ll find a job so that I can save money, and then I can
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 57: Sho
Third Person’s Point of View“FUCK! AKIRO!”Heli extended his arms forward, reaching towards his mate who was getting pushed away by the crowd of vampires trying to get near the youngest prince. Akiro’s face dissolved into panic, his arms flailing around in an attempt to reach Heli’s hand. But with all the stronger vampires pushing him away, he wasn’t able to even touch the tip of Heli’s fingers.“Heli!” Akiro exclaimed, his heart beating frantically as their distance grew farther from each other.He could hear the prince yelling profanities and his name, but he couldn’t see him anymore from the crowd of taller vampires obscuring his view of the raging prince. It made him nervous not only because he was surrounded by vampires he didn’t know, but also because he was sure Heli might throw a fit if he got seriously injured by the stampede.Heli would surely blame himself if he saw Akiro get hurt, and Akiro would like to avoid that if possible. It wasn’t the vampire’s fault after all. He
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 56: Crowded
Third Person’s Point of View“Are you sure you don’t want to bring some knights with you?”Heli turned to his mate, who, in turn, shook his head in response to the Queen. “Heli’s with me, Your Majesty. We’ll be fine.”The Queen looked like she was about to protest and continue to insist, but a large hand rested on her shoulder, effectively stopping her from talking. She looked over her shoulders and met her husband’s ruby-red eyes that were telling her to let the children go. She sighed.“Fine,” the Queen finally relented, seeing that even the King agreed with the boys. She looked sharply at her youngest son. “Take care of your mate, Helios. Eyes on him. You know how the town is.”Helios scowled. “Of course, I will. You don’t have to remind me of that.”“I’m just making sure.”Helios just huffed, then he turned to his mate. “Come on.”Akiro bowed politely to the King and Queen, then he hugged his grandparents. “We won’t take long.”The Queen knows it would be Akiro’s first time to lea
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 55: Clingy
Heli’s Point of ViewI sighed deeply when I saw the room was still empty after being inside the bathroom for nearly half an hour already. I plopped myself on my bed, staring at the door as if it would magically make my mate appear if I just stared hard enough.It was half an hour past the two hours he said, and he still hadn’t come back. I can’t help but feel restless about it. I’m aware I am being clingy, but can anyone blame me? My mate and I haven’t been on good terms for months, and I really missed just talking to him and enjoying his presence. It was a luxury I took for granted.Even though we talked already, it didn’t mean all our previous issues had been resolved. No. It would take more than one talk for us to resolve our issues and put it completely in the past. But right now, we’re alright, and I just want him beside me. When ten more minutes had passed, and he still didn’t return, I decided to go and check on him. But just as I stood up to get myself new clothes, the door o
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 54: Burning
Akiro’s Point of View“Listen, Aki. Don’t think this is your fault, alright? None of this is on you. I’m the very reason of your suffering, so it’s only right I do something for you,” Heli quickly began before I could even say something. “I... am selfish; I admit that. I know that. I couldn’t let you go even if I saw how much you’ve suffered from living here and away from your grandparents. So I thought of the only thing I can do to keep you here at the same time make you happy, and I don’t regret anything. All the risks that come with this decision? I wholeheartedly accepted it, and I had prepared myself for the worse. I admit that it made me nervous and afraid, not for myself but for my people. But when I saw you smile genuinely for the first time since I’ve brought you here, every doubt and fear in my heart disappeared instantly. Aki... it was worth it.”The sincerity in his eyes and voice made my chest hurt in a good way. It feels like his very soul was touching my heart. How can
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 53: Coerced
Heli’s Point of ViewIt was worth it.It’s been a while since the last time I’ve seen Akiro’s genuine smile. His smile that holds so much joy to the point of being contagious...I wanted to slap myself for taking that away— for being the reason he slowly lost that beautiful smile of his that I loved. For being the reason why he withered to something I almost can’t recognise. It feels like a grave sin, taking the brightness out of Akiro’s life.So this plan that I collaborated with my parents, is worth it. Even if it means risking my life. That’s the least I could do. Besides, I trust our people here in the palace. They’ve been working here for longer than I’ve been living, maybe even longer than Hale’s life. I decided to go to the training room to blow off some steam. When I entered the room, I saw Hale practicing with the swords. He whirled around when I entered. And just as I was about to ask if I could join, he suddenly appeared in front of me, taking me by the collar of my vest a
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 52: Apology
Akiro’s Point of ViewI stared at the flowers spread out in the palace garden, admiring their beauty, then I zoned out once again.It’s been a frequent occurrence for the past weeks. I keep drifting in and out of life, as if someone’s pulling and pushing me to consciousness. I didn’t even know I was zoning out in the middle of a conversation. I just found out about it whenever any of my companions would shake me out of my thoughts.I feel bad whenever I unconsciously do it, but the others don't seem mad or offended. In fact, they even looked concerned, but I just kept brushing off their questions.Because really, what can I say that they don't know already? They know what I feel, but they can’t do anything about it, right? They can’t help me. Their false placation doesn’t help anymore in easing the pain in my chest. No reassurances that they will help me adjust to this life or that I have someone who still cares for me can make me feel better.Everyday, I feel like I’m withering away
