Akiro’s Point of View

I couldn’t help but to lunge myself at Heli and wrap my arms around him after he finished telling me what they talked about. He looked really surprised that it took him a few seconds to return the hug. I heard him sigh before resting his head on my shoulder.

“Thank you,” I mumbled against his chest.

“For what?”

“For talking to them,” I replied. “I know you don’t really care about their opinion, and that you’re only doing this for my sake. So thank you.”

He hummed, but didn’t bother deigning a reply. Instead, he just burrowed deep into my neck, inhaling my scent like what he usually does when he’s hugging me. I didn’t mind, though it tickles me and gives me goosebumps. I can also smell his natural scent, which is really, really addicting.

We stayed like that for a few minutes before I eventually pulled away. Heli didn’t want to let go at first, but at my insistence, he reluctantly loosened his hold on me.

“Now,” I said. “Let’s go out?”

He raised an eyebrow. “Where

    Heli’s Point of ViewAs if it’s not enough that all these old vendors keep on interrupting Akiro and I’s date, this fucker just appeared out of nowhere and was introduced as Akiro’s childhood friend that he had lost connection with for years.And now, he wants to catch up with Akiro while he’s with me. The audacity of this fucking idiot. He couldn't tell it in front of Akiro earlier but now he’s texting him about it? How rude of him.Thankfully, Akiro shares the same sentiment.“He’s really persistent. He must’ve missed me so much,” Akiro said after pressing the send button. “But that’s quite rude of him. He knows I’m with you, and he keeps insisting to meet me somewhere.” He added with a frown.I internally grinned. Serves you right, fucker.After replying to that fucker, Akiro shut his phone down and hid it in his front pocket. “I’m getting tired.”“Do you want to go home?” I asked.He shook his head. “Let’s go to the abandoned building. Let’s skate there.”“Skate?” I frowned in con

    Akiro’s Point of ViewI anxiously watched Heli as he kept on eating the dish I cooked for him. I was waiting for his feedback, but he didn’t stop taking a bite once he started, so I simply assumed he didn’t like talking while eating.It didn’t surprise me anymore when he finished eating in less than five minutes. He’s always been a fast eater anyway.“So? How was it?” I nervously asked.He looked at me with a serious expression after drinking water. “What do you think?”I glared at him. “I don’t know! That’s why I’m asking!”“Of course, it’s delicious. Didn’t you see how fast I ate?” he retorted in a matter-of-fact tone that made me roll my eyes at him. “How will I know if you won’t speak! Besides, you could’ve eaten so quickly so you wouldn’t savor the taste,” I replied, smacking his arms.Heli just gave me a deadpan look.My grandparents had already called it a night when we returned. There was no leftover food from grandma’s cooking, so I had to cook if I wanted to eat. After our

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 34: Bad Idea

    Heli’s Point of ViewI shut my eyes tightly once I landed on the landmark of traveling. I will never get used to the dizzying feeling after traveling a dimension. Once my eyesight had stopped spinning around, I stood straight and didn’t waste any time in running to the palace. There were a lot of people outside the humongous gate cramped in a tent that I assumed was built by some of our knights who were relatively unscathed. Most of them sport some bandages here and there, but there seemed to be no fatal injuries.The knights that were guarding the gate saw me approaching. I gestured for them to stay quiet and not announce my presence, which they thankfully did. They opened the gate just enough for me to enter, then I hurriedly sprinted inside and towards the family's private room.All eyes were on me as soon as I opened the door. My eyes roamed around the room, mentally counting if my family was complete.They’re all here, even Helena, though she was lying on a bed.“Helios!” Mothe

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 35: Longing

    Akiro’s Point of ViewIt was an excruciating week of waiting. I can’t remember when was the last time I’ve been so impatient over something. I’ve always been a patient person, so this feeling of restlessness and anxiousness is unsettling.When I told Heli to go back to his world so he could see his family again, I already knew he’d take a long time to return. He told me about our time differences. What I didn’t realise was how much I'd grown used to his presence and that two weeks without him felt so lonely. I can’t talk to him through our phone, probably because of our dimension differences or what. But the thing is, I have not communicated with him for weeks.It was honestly making me anxious. Thousands of thoughts and doubts are racing through my mind as days pass by without seeing or hearing from him. I don’t even know if his sibling is alright. I just wanted to know if they’re okay.My friends noticed how I kept on checking my phone, waiting for Heli’s call or message, but neith

    Heli’s Point of View“Why isn’t she waking up?” I asked. “The healers said that she’s already fine! That rest is all she needs! She’s been asleep for four days already! So why isn’t she waking up?”“The knife nearly hit her heart, Heli,” Mother calmly said, resting her hands on my shoulders in an attempt to calm me down. “She needs more than four days of resting.”“But... but I can’t stay here for another day,” I replied, looking down. “I’ve already been away in the human world for almost a month. Akiro’s birthday is next week. I... still haven’t convinced him to come with me here.”“Then why don’t you go back to the human world? Heather can tell you if Helena has woken up already. You don’t have to wait here and waste time in the human world.”I shook my head. “I wanted to see her wake up. I wasn’t there to help you when the rebels attacked our kingdom, so I have to be here now while one of my siblings is healing.”“T-then you can l-leave n-now.”Mother and I quickly whirled around t

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 37: Missed

    Akiro’s Point of ViewIt’s freezing... is it winter already? No, that’s next month. My room is not air-conditioned, and I’m pretty sure the windows are all closed. So why is it so cold? I opened my eyes to see if I had not closed the window yesterday. Just like what I expected, it was closed. The door was also closed. The fan in my room is not working anymore.I shivered once again when I felt another wave of cool air. Sighing deeply, I made a move to sit up, only to be stopped by something strong and sturdy on my stomach. Uh... what?Slowly, I turned around to peek at what was behind me. I didn’t want to assume, despite how much my heart was screaming for me to quickly face whatever— whoever’s— holding me down on my bed in the middle of the night. But I didn’t want to subject myself to another disappointment if I was ever wrong.However, every little doubt and disappointment I'd felt the past month had quickly disappeared when I was met with the face of the man who I hadn’t seen fo

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 38: Curious

    Heli’s Point of ViewFuck. Fuck. Fuck! Why the fuck did I have to say that? And I said it the first time we met again after a month! Fucking mouth. I just had to ruin things between us, didn't I? Just because I smelled his scent once again after four fucking days!Seeing Akiro looking at me with wide eyes, I abruptly sat up, begrudgingly letting him go, so I could talk to him properly without letting his scent cloud my mind. “Wait, don’t get me wrong, Aki. It’s not because I’m thirsty— I can control my own thirst for blood. You’re just... it’s just...”“Heli, you’re rambling again.”I startled a bit, surprised at how close Aki’s face was to mine. He probably sat up while I was busy making a fool out of myself. It makes me want to disappear right now.“I apologise,” I mumbled. “It’s just...”“It’s alright,” Akiro mumbled, smiling kindly at me. “I... I was just surprised.”I looked down, feeling embarrassed. “Please just forget about it.”“Are you sure?”The question caught me off-guar

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 39: Normal

    Akiro’s Point of ViewTo say I was disappointed is an understatement. I know Heli has a point why he’s reluctant to drink my blood. I’m really not prepared for those adult things yet no matter how much I get turned on sometimes by Heli’s innuendos or just by his natural charisma. But it didn’t mean I wasn’t disappointed. Deep inside my mind and heart, I am, even if my mind is reprimanding me about how it’s the only right thing to do.Waking up in his arms the next day soothed my disappointment though. Despite being slightly cold because of his ability, it didn’t bother me at all. I usually don’t like the cold, but I came to like it enough when I got closer to Heli. It was quite ironic for him to have a mate that doesn’t like cold when he has an ice ability, so I’ve taught myself to tolerate it which isn’t that hard, because I was really fascinated with his ability. Time just made me used to it until I started liking it.“Slept well?”I was startled out of my thoughts when I heard Hel

    Third Person’s Point of View“Take care of your mate, alright? Don’t let him go anywhere alone,” Queen Camilla reminded his youngest son, who huffed indignantly at being reminded of taking care of his mate.“Of course, Mother. You don’t need to remind me,” Heli replied.The Queen narrowed her eyes on her son. “There’s nothing wrong with being reminded, Heli.”“I know, Mother.”Queen Camilla huffed, then stepped closer to her son and kissed his head. “Take care, son. And enjoy it as well.”“I will. Thank you, Mother.”After bidding goodbye to his father, he left the room to find his mate, who told him he’d just bid goodbye to his friend in the kitchen. He met Akiro on the stairs, who seemed to be looking for him as well.“Heli!” Akiro exclaimed. “Are you done talking to your parents?”Heli nodded. “And you?”“Yeah. Though it’s a little bit disappointing that Shiro wouldn’t come,” Akiro pouted. “Maybe I can hang out with him next time instead. He doesn’t really want to hang out with the

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 126: Idea

    Third Person’s Point of ViewAfter the engagement party, there was rarely a time when anyone wouldn’t see Akiro and Heli together. Where Akiro goes, Heli follows. The rare time they weren’t together was when Akiro hung out with Shiro, and even that had been reduced to just a few days a week compared to their daily hangouts before.They became inseparable, still on the high of their engagement. And despite their family and friends’ teasing and protests, neither of them cared enough to change it. Two weeks after the party, Akiro was left alone because Heli had to attend a negotiation with an elite vampire clan in Heldrix’s stead because the older Lancaster had been tasked with something else at the last minute.In his boredom, he suddenly came up with an idea. He quickly went to Shiro to ask his opinion.“What do you think?” Akiro asked.“I think it’d be good for you,” Shiro answered. “You’ve been cooped up in the palace ever since you arrived here. You seldom go to the town. You haven

    Third Person’s Point of View“To our honored guests, I deeply apologised for the ruckus earlier, but I assure you all; everything’s been handled already. If you wish to continue the party, you may do so. Those who wish to leave, you may do so as well. My Queen and I will escort you out,” King Vladimir announced when he and the rest of his family returned to the hall. Just as he expected, Regia Astara’s allied kingdoms, Regia Terrania and Regia Valexia, had left soon after them. Only Regia Solaria’s allied kingdoms remain, as well as the only kingdom where merfolks live, Regia Zepharia. It’s also the only kingdom that is neutral. No enemies, no allies. Being the only merfolk in Eldritch makes them practically the odd ones out, so the others tend to ignore or leave them be.The party continued with only four kingdoms remaining, though Regia Zepharia left an hour later, leaving the allied kingdoms on their own.“That’s insane,” Aubrey commented after Akiro finished telling them the reas

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 124: Problem

    Third Person’s Point of View“Had I known those humans’ filthy offspring were the one engaged to the ice prince, I wouldn’t have bothered attending their party!” Queen Amari exclaimed as she stomped inside their bedroom. “What a waste of time and effort!”“We should pay more attention next time,” King Lorenzo said. The Queen scoffed. “I knew there was a reason I wasn’t paying attention during the introduction. My gut was telling me it was a piece of shit that was in front!”In truth, she didn’t pay attention because she was busy trying to identify the weird scent she could smell amidst the hundred mixed scents floating inside the hall. That particular scent stood out though, and it grated Amari’s nerves because it was so familiar, but she couldn’t pinpoint why.And then, coincidentally, she almost bumped into the owner of the weird scent. Upon seeing the owner’s face, a memory from nearly a lifetime ago flashed in her mind.Her first love. Her first mate. Her first heartbreak. The o

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 123: Murderers

    Third Person’s Point of View“What the fuck are you on?” Heli growled at the woman, pushing Akiro behind him. The miniscule respect he had for the woman quickly faded the moment she yelled insults towards his mate.“That man you’re hiding from me!” the woman continued yelling, uncaring of the crowd that gathered around them to watch. “Why the hell is he here!?”“This man that you’re pointing at is my mate and my soon-to-be-husband,” Heli snarled, glaring viciously at the woman. “And if you forgot, you’re a ‘guest’ here at ‘our’ engagement party. So if I were you, I’m going to watch my fucking tongue before I cut it off.”The woman’s eyes widened, both in surprise at how the ice prince had talked to him and at the fact that it was Akiro who Heli was engaged with.“What...”Akiro narrowed his eyes at the woman, thinking about what made her angry. He was sure it was the first time he had met her, but she seemed to know him. And then there’s her anger that he had no idea where it came fr

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 122: Reunited

    Third Person’s Point of ViewHeli knew his mate was itching to find his friends and greet them. He knew Akiro was slowly getting bored with meeting different people from different kingdoms. But he couldn’t find himself to help his mate get out of their situation. Akiro has already fulfilled his part of the tradition, and he can go to his friends now after the introduction. But Heli didn’t want him to go.This was supposed to be about them, but Akiro would eventually spend more time with his friends than with Heli, who knew he’d be stuck with socialising with the other kingdom’s rulers.Heli knows it was selfish of him to keep his mate by his side when Akiro clearly wanted to escape, but he didn’t want the man to go. He didn’t want to see him spending time with other people while he wasn’t there.But upon seeing the longing look in Akiro’s eyes, when he finally saw his friends gathered at a table, Heli relented. He would rather feel jealous than see his mate look like that.“Go on,” H

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 121: Betrothed

    Third Person’s Point of ViewAkiro stood on the balcony of their room, watching the guests trickle inside the palace gate. None of them were permitted to arrive directly in front of the palace. They all needed to pass the gates with the invitation card given to them with the kingdom’s sigil.He felt his excitement rise when he saw Terrence and Aubrey along with the rest of the royal family of Regia Obsivia. He was itching to leave his room and approach them when Regia Luximere followed just a few minutes after. His friends were here! He was dying to talk to them, but because of Regia Solaria’s tradition, he could only show up once they were called. He wanted to meet his friends first! He hasn’t had the chance to talk to them since the meeting. He misses them.His excitement dwindled when he saw another kingdom appear. Even though he never saw them, he immediately knew who they were.Regia Astara’s royal family. Even from afar, Akiro could see the way they carried themselves. Their po

    Third Person’s Point of View“Do I really need to do this?” Akiro asked, face pleading at his mate, who smirked at him.“Of course. We’ll dance in front of the guests and our family. We have to give them a show.”Akiro huffed. “But I can’t dance!”The vampire raised an eyebrow. “Oh? But I can still perfectly remember you dancing with a stranger in a bar,” Heli said. “Sexy dance, if I might add.”Akiro blushed at the reminder. “T-that’s different! I’m drunk then! I didn’t know what exactly I was doing!”“Uh-huh. And yet you still kept a cool head to stop the girl when she was about to throw herself at you,” Heli’s eyes turn dark at the memory of the girl’s pathetic attempt at flirting and seducing his mate, who wasn’t even into girls. “That’s because even in my drunken state, I know my preferences.”Heli raised an eyebrow, dark eyes staring intensely at his mate. “Oh?” he mumbled lowly. “So if it was a guy, you’d flirt back?”Akiro’s eyes widened, knowing full well he had made a trap

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 119: Engagement

    Third Person’s Point of View“Do you think he’d agree?” Queen Camilla asked her husband, brows furrowed in concern.The King glanced at his wife, smiling reassuringly. “He will.”The Queen bit her lips, still hesitating. Thousands of negative thoughts swirl inside her mind, and her heart aches at the thought it’d be his son who would suffer the consequences if it fails.Though it seemed the King had noticed her internal crisis, his hands reached out to his mate’s face. “It’ll be alright, Cami. He’ll agree; I’m sure of that.”“How? Even I hadn’t See it happening,” the woman replied.But the King just smiled. ###Akiro groaned. “Stop being annoying and just help me with this, will you?” he grumbled at his friend, who was cackling maniacally after teasing him about his burnt cookies.“How the hell can I help you with that? It’s not salvageable anymore!”“And whose fault is that? You distracted me when I was supposed to get it out of the oven!”“Oh, please. Stop using me as an excuse fo
