Heli’s Point of View

I was expecting an immediate ‘no’, a firm rejection, a quick refusal, because it seemed like Akiro was adamant about forgetting that he had met me— that he knew about my ability and my kind.

But I didn’t expect this.

“O-okay...” Akiro mumbled as he closed his eyes. It took him a few minutes to answer my question, so I thought he wouldn’t agree. So when I heard him say that, my eyes went wide.

“What?”

He opened his eyes and looked straight into my eyes. “Okay, Heli. I’ll... give you a chance.”

It took every ounce of my strength to resist claiming his lips right there and then. My heart almost jumped out of my chest from the sheer happiness his simple response gave to me.

“But I have a condition.”

Almost immediately, I halted. I raised an eyebrow at him.

“What is it?” I asked.

He swallowed, and I couldn’t help but follow the way his prominent Adam's apple moved. “You’ll have to talk to my grandparents about whatever issue you have with them. I don’t want to lie to t

    Akiro’s Point of View“FREAKING head,” I mumbled as I massaged my head. It hurts so much! It feels like I was hit by a basketball a dozen times. I just wanted to remove this head to get rid of this misery I put myself into.What was I thinking, drinking myself to oblivion last night? I don’t have a high alcohol tolerance yet I think I drank almost five bottles. I can’t help it though; it was so fun last night at the club! And drinking with my friends is one of our ways of bonding and de-stressing, so I guess I have no regrets about it.But then a thought suddenly came into my mind when I finished washing my face.How did I go home? I’m pretty sure everyone was drunk as hell last night, and that they just called someone to fetch them. That’s what we agreed before we drank. But I don’t have anyone to call. So how did I get home?Scratching my head, I decided to set it aside. I’ll have to cure my hangover first. Thankfully, my grandparents always have a stock of medicine. According to he

    Heli’s Point of View“I HAVE no ulterior motive towards him.”Like what happened the first time I came here to the Freniere’s house, they were sitting at the dining table, and they were also talking about something serious.And like their first reaction, they all hurriedly stood up to face me.I walked closer with my hands inside my pockets. I was staring directly at Akiro, whose hair was sticking up in different places. Seeing his usually kept hair like this makes me chuckle. So this is how he looks in the morning. So fucking adorable.“We told you not to come back here, right?! You are not allowed here, you monster!”My smile instantly disappeared upon hearing that damn word.“Grandma!” Akiro exclaimed softly, looking at his grandmother. “Don’t yell. You know it’s bad for your health, right? And don’t call him that! He’s the one who brought me home last night.”I raised an eyebrow, momentarily forgetting my annoyance at what his grandmother called me. My lips curled up into a grin

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 11: Talk

    Akiro’s Point of ViewI let a few days pass before I decided to finally talk with my grandparents about Heli. Grandmother had an attack when she got so mad at Heli. I didn’t want to make it worse so I decided to talk to them when she’s in good condition already.It wasn’t that critical, but I didn’t want to take risks, so it took me almost three days before I approached them in their room. We haven’t been on good terms since that day, especially after the last words I told Heli, but they still made sure to take care of me even though it’s me who needed to make it up to them.I took a deep breath once I stopped in front of their room before knocking on the door. I didn’t wait for a response; I just slowly opened it and took a peek first before entering. Grandma was busy folding their clothes while grandpa was reading a newspaper. I know they noticed me but neither of them made a move to acknowledge my presence. So I cleared my throat to get their attention, but there was still no resp

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 12: Clear

    Heli’s Point of ViewWaiting for Akiro to come to me first was a bigger torture than my parents banning me from leaving my room for a month. At least, there was a limit to my punishment from my parents. But I have no idea when I will stop waiting for Akiro so we can finally talk things out. I’m restraining myself from entering their house because I am respecting my mate’s wish for him to settle things with his grandparents first. So no matter how much I wanted to barge inside their house and find out what was happening, I restrained myself from doing so.Even if it means waiting endlessly and losing so much time. It’s because I found hope in Akiro’s last words to me. He believed me. He wants to talk to me as well. He wants to know me. I have a hunch that he could feel a connection between us. He could also feel the pull! And that’s what motivates me even more. He couldn’t forget me— he couldn’t resist me. Which means our connection has finally shown and he could feel it!If we get

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 13: They knew

    Akiro’s Point of ViewHeli looks pretty... mad.His lips were pursed into a thin line, his thick eyebrows knitted together, his eyes turned dark and colder as he looked at me, confused. His jaw clenched.Why does he look so attractive when he’s mad? His sharp features make him look more dangerous, but it didn’t faze me at all. In fact, I’m extremely enraptured by it. So far, I only see him laughing, grinning, and with a blank expression. My mind was quite fuzzy when he cornered me in the club’s restroom, so his image back then was kind of blurry. He was mad then, but I couldn’t remember how he looked.So right now, I’m soaking all of it before he gets seriously mad.“What do you mean?” he asked.“I won’t come with you to your world, Heli,” I repeated. “I will stay here because my only family is here. I won’t leave my grandparents alone. They have no one else to take care of them. We need each other.”“How about me? My family? They live in another world, Akiro.”“You can always visit t

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 14: No choice

    Heli’s Point of View“They knew all along! Can you believe it? And they didn’t even bother telling me! I’ve tried so hard not to let them know because I was afraid they’d be mad or disappointed! It turns out they weren’t saying anything because they wanted me to tell them first! They didn’t want to pressure me! How does that make sense?”My lips curled into a lazy grin as I watched my mate rant about how his grandparents didn’t tell him they knew about him being ‘gay’. It’s amusing to see him like this, because he seemed comfortable in my presence.Every day, I follow him wherever he goes— except to his house. It’s the one place I’ve reminded myself to keep off-limits. Akiro is still not aware of how I managed to appear every time he called for me or asked himself where I was. I can’t tell him about the invisible stone lest I want him to get mad at me.At this crucial point in my life, I can’t let a fight happen between us anymore. As much as possible, I want things to go as smoothly

    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

  • The Last Chosen Mate   Chapter 16: Special

    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

  • 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

    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

    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
