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

  • 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

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 43: Back Up

    Third Person’s Point of ViewAkiro absentmindedly washed the dishes once he returned inside their house after walking his friends out. Despite not doing anything besides eating, drinking and talking with his closest friends, Akiro still enjoyed his birthday. Though inside, a large part of him felt empty because this wasn’t the celebration he had imagined several times for the past month.In his mind, there was a certain brown-haired man with intense ruby eyes that should have been with them, should have been seated beside him on their couch while his friends relentlessly questioned the said guy.And when his friends leave, he’ll finally make that brown-haired guy his boyfriend. He wanted the day to be special for the both of them.But things didn’t end up as how he hoped it would be. They fought, spouting words they both didn’t mean, and Heli left so abruptly without even saying goodbye to Akiro. A closure would have been nice at least.“W-WHO ARE YOU?! WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE, HELIOS?!”

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 44: Hate

    Third Person’s Point of ViewHeli would rather swallow the pain he felt when Akiro said his mind wouldn’t ever change than to let his brother see his true feelings after what he heard. He doesn’t want to give his eldest brother the satisfaction of seeing him crushed and hurt by his own fated mate. He knew the bastard Crown Prince would never let him hear the end of it, especially after decades of knowing him as an ultimate playboy of their kingdom.Aside from that, he also refused to show emotion in front of Akiro. He could see the guilt in Akiro’s eyes, and despite feeling his own guilt for whatever they were about to say and do, he didn’t let himself be swayed by his mate’s beautiful, expressive eyes.He’d rather bear Akiro’s anger than not have him at all. It didn’t mean that he wasn’t in pain for betraying his mate’s trust.“Mister Freniere. If it was only up to us, we'd let you bring your grandparents with you into our world. We know how important family is, so we understand why

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 89: Worried

    Third Person’s Point of ViewAkiro sometimes hates himself for being so... compassionate. It drives him insane whenever he’s putting someone else’s comfort before himself, but he keeps on doing it anyway because he can’t bear the guilt of putting his own comfort first over someone who’s clearly in trouble.Like right now.It’s been two hours since Heli left and he still hasn’t returned. Akiro’s bored out of his mind in the first hour he’s alone, but the next hour that follows suddenly made him nervous and anxious.He doesn’t know what is troubling Alliah and why it’s taking them quite a while, but it makes Akiro nervous. As to why he’s feeling that way... he’s not entirely sure. Is it because of Alliah’s tone when she was asking for Heli’s help? Or is it because Heli and Alliah have been together again for the past two hours? Akiro really didn’t know. Maybe it’s both.It was when another hour had passed that Akiro decided to leave the room in an attempt to search for his mate. But he

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 88: Doubt

    Third Person’s Point of View“So you mean to say that werewolves have their own way of getting their own mates? Like how vampires have the Crystal of Fate?” Akiro asked his werewolf acquaintances.“Yup! In our case, it is believed to be the Moon Goddess who gave us our fated mates,” Savannah responded. “And unlike vampires, where there’s a Crystal that would show them who their mates are, werewolves just have to hope they cross paths with theirs.”“One way to know who a werewolf’s mate is when a certain scent gets too strong. They’ll know immediately what it means when, among a crowd of mixed scents, there’s a certain one that you smell so clearly and profoundly,” Pierce added. “Their wolf’s instinct would move on its own when they sense their mate is around.”Akiro nodded in understanding. “That’s kind of... uh, how do I put it in words? Difficult? Because you’d have to be lucky to cross paths with your mate then. Is there any case where a werewolf never meets their mate?”“Lots,” Wa

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 87: The Fuck Buddy

    Third Person’s Point of ViewHeli was never the friendly type. He can count on one hand the number of people he considered friends. The rest were just acquaintances or just mere beings living in the same space as he is.One of his friends he considered was this woman clinging on to his arms. “— and it was so annoying, Helios! Alphas are just so infuriating, you know? All they want is a hole for their disgusting knots! I don’t want that! I’m not just an omega they can bed!”“Was it really disgusting?” Heli replied dryly. “I remembered you telling me before how you love being knotted.”Alliah glared at him, though her cheeks were tinted red. “Of course, it is! You know it’s only the heat talking.” She scoffed.Helios snorted at that, totally not believing it. Alliah pulled away from him, much to his relief, because he didn’t have the heart to push her away. “We haven’t seen each other for months and this is how you’ll treat me? You are so mean!”The vampire rolled his eyes, looking ex

    Third Person’s Point of View“So... why haven’t you marked that bull-headed vampire yet?” Akiro abruptly turned around, eyes wide at Savannah’s question. “Uh, what?”“Come on! Don’t act clueless, cutie. We can smell him on you, but we don’t smell you on him,” the blonde said. “Not that your scent is strong. Humans do have weaker scents than vampires and shapeshifters, like merfolks. Well, merfolks smell like saltwater, so I don’t think that’s the right comparison.”Akiro just got even more confused by the blonde’s rambling. “I’m not acting clueless. I’m just quite surprised at how forward you are considering this is the first time we met.”The blue-haired man laughed loudly, while the other two just chuckled at the pouting Savannah. “He got you there, Sav,” the blonde man said.“Not even an hour since you met, and you have already asked him a personal question,” the blue-haired man shook his head. “It’s not my fault! I’ve been dying in curiosity when I saw Helios’ neck was still un

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 85: Surprised

    Third Person’s Point of View“This is all good and fun, but can anyone introduce that handsome man right there to us? He looked extremely delectable just standing there by himself.”Almost immediately, all attention was on Akiro. He instantly blushed as several pairs of eyes watched him awkwardly stand there, avoiding everyone’s gaze.“Shut the fuck up.”Akiro felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard his mate’s cold voice. His tone was harsh and sharp as he glared at the man who spoke. The blonde-haired man merely raised an eyebrow at Heli, unfazed by his tone and glare.“What? I just wanted to know his name,” the blonde said.Heli growls viciously at the man and, in a blink of an eye, was already on Akiro’s side, arms wrapped possessively around the confused human. “Helios?” Alliah looked so confused as she looked at Heli and Akiro, a frown on her face.But for the first time since they arrived, Heli ignored her. He continued glaring at the blonde man as he spoke. “This is my

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 84: Disoriented

    Third Person’s Point of ViewAkiro was expecting days of traveling on a carriage or horse when they said they would travel to another kingdom. He was expecting days of seeing new places and scenery and meeting new vampires. He was expecting to rest in an inn or what after hours of traveling.It didn’t occur in his mind that they would arrive in the middle of the Kingdom of Regia Luximere’s courtroom in a matter of a few seconds once they all exited through the secret backdoor of their kingdom.He completely forgot that one of the Lancaster siblings has the ability to teleport to other places, which means an easy and quick travel without the hassle of carriages and coming to stop at some rest stops. Akiro wanted to facepalm as he forgot once again how different this world was, and how the vampires' abilities are so convenient to their way of living.He wondered if it was so easy to travel to different places, then why can’t he just go home after the meeting to check on his grandparent

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 83: Departing

    Third Person’s Point of View“Grandma? Grandpa?” Akiro knocked on his grandparents’ door before he slowly opened it. He saw the two were just sitting on their bed with their backs leaning on the headboard. They were both holding a book.“Akiro. Come in, son,” his grandfather greeted him warmly.He smiled at them before approaching their bed.“What brings you here, Aki?” his grandmother asked.“I’ll leave later for the monthly meeting with the allied kingdom, remember?” The old couple frowned for a moment, as if remembering, before recognition flashed in their old eyes. “Ah. So it’s later.”Akiro nodded. “I wanted to spend time with you before I left. The next three days, my friend Shiro— you know him, right?” The old couple nodded in response. “He’ll be the one to bring your meals here. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to tell him, alright? And if you want to walk around the palace garden, just tell him as well. He volunteered that he'd escort you along with a few knights if you

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 82: Important Detail

    Third Person’s Point of ViewAkiro woke up early the next day despite sleeping late, though Heli was already gone when he woke up. He assumed Heli was in the training room like what he usually does in the morning. After washing his face, Akiro went down to the dining hall for breakfast. Shiro was usually asleep this early in the morning so he decided to eat with the others today. There were already a lot of them inside, just chatting idly with each other. Heli wasn’t there, which means he’s not yet done in the training room.Akiro sat beside Carmela and Alter who were silently talking in the corner. “Good morning.” He greeted them.The two immediately turned to him. “Good morning, Aki. What a miracle that you joined us here,” Carmela teased him, which made him blush.“Well... Shiro’s still asleep so...”“It’s no problem, Aki. You don’t have to explain to us,” Alter gently said.Among all the Lancaster siblings’ mates, Akiro feels the most comfortable with Alter. He didn’t know if it

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 81: Meeting

    Third Person’s Point of ViewAkiro sat quietly on the chair beside Heli. The whole family was gathered in the private sitting room, which is their first gathering since the Lancaster men had returned from the fight. Despite knowing he didn’t do anything wrong, Akiro can’t help but feel nervous as the room slowly fills in with the family members. He glanced at each of them but no one looked as nervous as he was. It just made him even more nervous, which of course, Heli noticed.He slid an arm on his waist as he leaned closer. “Don’t be nervous. The King and Queen just have an announcement to make.”“What announcement?” “Our engagement.”“WHAT?” Akiro stood up in surprise, his blue eyes widened comically. Heli laughed at his reaction, followed by the others who seemed to hear their conversation.Akiro blushed so hard he felt like his face would explode any second by now from how hot it feels. Damn Heli!“I was just kidding. Sit back here,” Heli said, still grinning.Akiro glared at h
