Heli’s Point of View

I 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.

  • 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

    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

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 40: Confrontation

    Heli’s Point of ViewAkiro’s birthday is in four days, and I’m nowhere near convincing him to come with me to Eldritch.I growled in frustration, the floor beneath my shoes turning ice and spreading out all over the floor of the abandoned house, much like how it looks when Akiro and I skate.When Akiro left to attend his classes yesterday, I was left on my own. My mind quickly drifted to his upcoming birthday and how much time was left for me to bring my mate back to our world and mark him up. It was devastating to think I’ve wasted a month here while I just stayed for four days in Eldritch. Fucking time differences. I can’t even go to meet my siblings or parents to ask for help because I’ll waste another day! Every second is precious right now, so I have to use it wisely.But fuck if I know what to do. I’ve been so restless about this since yesterday that I wasn’t able to enjoy much of our skate even though it’s the first thing we did after my return.Now that he’s in his classes ag

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 41: Almost

    Akiro’s Point of View“Aki... please say something.”I swallowed the lump in my throat, then I blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes. My heart feels so heavy at the revelation. I knew something was bothering him from when he first told me about his true identity, but I never thought it was like that. It was hard to comprehend that for the past months that we'd spent together, he was actually scheming something behind my back when I had already told him my only answer. I am firm in my decision to choose my grandparents no matter what, and I’m sure Heli knows it because we have talked about it several times already, and I said the same answer every single time.I try to find it in myself if I am mad at Heli, but I can’t find any anger in my system. Deep inside my mind, I understand why he’s desperate to bring me to his world. He and I had lived different lives and different cultures. I can’t say I agree with their ‘mate’ thing because it seemed like their l

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 42: Help

    Heli’s Point of ViewI let myself drop on the ground, my heart pounding so violently against my chest. My whole body was on fire, limbs trembling from how fast I ran away from Akiro before he could even finish what he was about to say.My chest tightened painfully at the reminder of what my mate was about to do. He looked angry as he said those words, so I wanted to attribute it to that. He didn’t like what he heard from me and, in a fit of anger and pettiness, he carelessly threw those words away. If I hadn’t run away, all my efforts this whole year would have gone to waste.But that didn’t make it less painful. I headed back to the palace as quickly as I could despite how much I just wanted to bury myself in alcohol. I can’t afford to waste more time. By now, nearly a day had already passed in the human world. I need to return within the hour.I wasted no time in heading towards the royal chamber. Without knocking, I entered my eldest brother’s room.“I need your help,” I said, ign

    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

    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

    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

    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
