Despite my emotions telling me to go tell Destiny everything and win her heart, I actually left her behind. Yes, Damien talked some sense into me and I made the logical decision. I am to be king and I can’t be making decisions based on emotions. Honestly, speaking Damien would make for a better king than I. He had all the traits of a king now that I think of it- kind, firm, logical, intelligent, understanding and so on. You name it and his got it. I mean I couldn’t deny the logic that Damien used to argue with me so, I had no choice but to leave Destiny behind.
It was currently two weeks since that fateful day that I met my precious mate. And what an encounter that was. But I had to be strong and finish the task at hand. I couldn’t let my emotions overtake my work ethic. I felt dead inside without her close to me. I hate this feeling so much that I wish I hadn’t even met her. Then I would be happy. Ignorance is bliss after all. What was with my family and getting terrible mates? First my dad and now me. To be frank, I just wasn't sure if I still wanted her as my mate or not. Surely, I deserved better.
Damien and I had written our postcards and sent them to my family later that night. The task did cheer me up for some time. I addressed my postcard to mum and surprisingly, Damien had addressed his to Ellie. I was suspicious of this at first, but then after some thought it made sense. I can literally picture Ellie throwing a tantrum when we got back because we didn't address any post card to her.
My sister had this fancy book of hers with all her memories. The book was decorated with all kinds of glitter and stickers. It was not at all a pretty sight to behold. I was the more creative child after all. This book was where Ellie keeps all her slips, cards, tags and basically anything else that she feels is of importance. It’s her book of memories. My sister is sentimental indeed. Thus before we left, She had kindly threatened us to write to her specifically. I just had forgotten about it.
Working as a postman had its perks. For one I got to learn every corner of the each village. I also made myself new friends. This was nice because I knew that they weren’t simply being nice to be because of my precious title. One of the friends I had made back in Kena was called, Samuel. Samuel also worked at the post office. So, when I left for this village, Shepal, I had asked my friend Samuel to keep an eye on my beloved mate and inform me if anything suspicious occurred. Of course, I told him that she was just a girl I liked very much. I mean if I had to tell him that she was my mate, then I was going to have to spill the beans on everything else. His poor human brain would melt at the mere thought of me being a Vampire.
I couldn't and didn’t want to see my mate yet. I hoped that some time apart would do us both some good. Hopefully, she would see her fault and apologise and I also needed to not give this woman so much power over me. So in the meantime, knowing how she was doing was going to keep me sane during our time off. That is until I finally get home and discuss things with my parents.
The plan I made was that at the end of every week my human friend or well… Samuel, would write me a report of what my mate had been up to. So far Destiny seemed fine according to Samuel’s report from last week. He said that she had asked about me and was trying to reach me. The fact that she came to the post office to see me gave me hope for how our relationship would play out.
But I still couldn't see her yet. Especially not in this state at least. She already doesn’t approve of the postman job. Which I can’t entirely blame her for. From the looks of it, she would have to take care of me. I, as a postman would be benefiting from marrying her. I guess that means I am the gold digger?
Anyways so, I told Samuel to tell Destiny that I had gone on a trip to different village out of the kingdom on a special delivery. That excuse should buy me another month with her at least. The next time I see my mate I want to be able to tell her the whole truth of who I actually am. But only once I finish my journey.
Today is Wednesday and I had just received a letter from Samuel about my precious mate. I was very anxious to say the least because this could only mean one thing--something was wrong. And I would be lying if I said I hadn't already felt in my bones. Since this morning, I have had this uneasy feeling and now I knew exactly why. I refused to open the letter immediately and decided to rather do it after work. To say I was anxious the whole afternoon as I worked would be a grave understatement.
XXXXXX
Somehow, I found myself sitting in a dimly lit bar that reeked of humans after work. I honestly don't know why I had come to this bar, considering I was a Vampire and couldn't really get drunk due to my rather fast metabolism. But I needed to read the letter alone. Damien would be at home so this was my next best choice. I know that the bar is still full of people, but I was still alone and unbothered. Just like I had wanted. Besides, I felt like I was going to need a drink after I read the contents of the letter.
James
I know I was to write to you only on Fridays but this is urgent. The Lady Destiny, your beloved is getting married to Sir John this Friday. Hence, I sent this message urgently because if you really love her like you said you do then you need to get here fast.
Regards

The Vampire's Chosen Mate Shock (07)
DimitriI honestly wasn't even a bit surprised. My mate had made it pretty clear that she was just after money. But I at least expected her to wait until after meeting me again. She was looking for me so why couldn't she wait until she found me before proceeding with her plan of marrying this guy? Did I really not mean anything to her? I mean even if she didn’t pick me which hurts, she still needed me to have children. So, why was she rushing to get married despite not having me agree to her horrific terms? Damn it, woman are frustrating! The one second you think you know them, the next you realise you were lying to yourself all along."Now, I know of everyone who lives in this shitty village and your face is one I haven't seen before. Who are you...Mr Postman?" a female's voice spoke out of nowhere breaking my train of thought. I was really annoyed right now and even more so pissed at the opposite sex for the sins of my mate and now some female dared speak
The Vampire's Chosen Mate Bad News (08)
DimitriWhen I finally got home, it was sometime close to midnight. I really did spend a lot of time in the human bar. Because of the time, I would normally sneak into the house such as to not wake up Damien. But being a vampire and all, he would hear me no matter how sleek I was. It was the thought that counts anyways. But today I had no energy to do so, besides in the past Damien has always been up waiting for me to return. So, I decided that I would just walk in the front door. Before opening the door, I mentally readied myself for his overload of questions on my whereabouts. Damien was sort of like my father. He would want to know where I where I was, with who, and why.Surprisingly, though when I got into the house, Damien was nowhere in sight. I could not even smell him. This fact put me on edge so, I quickly did a full sweep of the house as I was under the impression that something was horribly wrong. Damien was never out at such a late hour. Besides, he always
The Vampire's Chosen Mate Brain Freeze (09)
DimitriThey say that the brain functions 24/7. That even when you are sleeping your brain is still busy working. It is said that the brain consolidates memory when we sleep. Thus, to remember things better, one needs to sleep enough to give the brain time to consolidate. Sleeping enough, also has many other health benefits but that applies only to human bodies. For some reason after Damien's words registered in my mind, it seems that my brain decided to finally take a break from all that working. After all, it has been working for almost a hundred years now.I expected there to be so many thoughts running through my mind all at once in this moment. Like I said before, I have a degree in overthinking and all. But somehow just like a computer, my brain had frozen. I could tell that Damien was still speaking, but I could not comprehend the words that he said. My brain could not process the first words that had just come out of his mouth. I was stuck on that very statemen
The Vampire's Chosen Mate Hidding (10)
Dimitri"The Lunar pack is our safest spot to hide Dimitri," Damien argued. I looked at Damien and had to admit that he has looked better. He was pacing up and down the tiny lounge area as if on a mission. His hair was extremely disheveled which is due to the fact that he kept running his hands through his hair in frustration. But then again, I am certain that I looked way worse than Damien. I mean he still had time to shave while I had let my stubble grow. I cannot recall ever putting a brush to my hair and the dye I had was starting to wash out. I also cannot recall taking a shower in the past few days.I just could not believe that my best friend was actually being serious right now. He wanted us to live with werewolves. Now, I have nothing against werewolves. But to live in a pack is totally absurd. Yeah the werewolves are strong, so if we get attacked they could totally help us out, but for all I knew they could be working with this damn Seneca who killed my famil
The Vampire's Chosen Mate Bartender (11)
DimitriHumans were interesting creatures. They all seemed put together in the greater scheme of things. But if one just looked a second longer at them, one would see that they were far from the term put together. Whereas we vampires embraced our beasts and sometimes even indulged in them, humans try to hide theirs. Thus they are at constant war with themselves. No wonder most of them are depressed. One has to be a peace within oneself. To accept and love oneself exactly as one is. How have they not mastered this task still?Damien and I had been living at a Hotel for the past couple of days now. I was basically in every news article. Even in the human world, I was wanted. Luckily, the only photo there was of me when I was 20 years old. I was a kid back then so I look different. Hating publicity did finally pay off. But that still didn’t mean that I was off the hook. Seneca had offered quite a large sum of money to whoever could bring me back alive to her. This w
The Vampire's Chosen Mate New POV (12)
Becky (Rebecca)I knew that this guy was hiding something, but I just couldn't pin point what it was exactly. Since I am being honest, I think that secret is what drew me to him. Sure he was good looking, but I have seen much better. Besides, I preferred my men a whole lot darker and definitely with a beard. There is something about a beard on a man that just calls to my inner goddess. Let us just say that this guy had none of the qualities I wanted in a man. So, no there was no attraction here at all.Anyways, I had secrets of my own so, maybe that is why I could relate to him. I guess I was drawn to him because he was just like me- hiding. What he was hiding, I could not tell. But I could tell that whatever it was, it was heavy. I probably could pry the truth out of him if I wanted to. But something told me that I should rather have him tell me willingly. Humans always eventually spilled the truth if you just gave them an ear. Afte
The Vampire's Chosen Mate New Friend (13)
DimitriSurprisingly, Becky was quite good company. She wasn't like most humans or at least what I thought about most humans. She was very easy to talk to because she seemed to know a lot about well, everything. I learnt that her full name was actually Rebecca Marshall. She lived in this village but worked at the bar in Shepal because they paid her so well. She was very opinionated and that often lead to us disagreeing on many things. But she was also smart so, we would always eventually reach a logical agreement or conclusion. She was feisty and confident which was the opposite of most woman who I had met before. They were often shy, but Rebecca was not shy.Eventually we had left the coffee shop and went to a nearby market. We ended up eating at some African restaurant calledAfrican World.Rebecca apparently is originally from Africa. This was the first time I met someone from Africa. I have never been to Africa before, but I have heard s
The Vampire's Chosen Mate Home Visits (14)
RebeccaIt has been three weeks now since I first hanged out with James at the market and we had become close friends rather quickly. Like I said, he had a nice aura. We literally had met almost every day since that coffee shop, even if it was just for 30 minutes. I guess we just fit together well. I was a bit hesitant to make a human friend once again because I was not sure I still knew how to be a friend. But things came naturally for me with James. I knew I was not going to make a female friend because females are so shallow. All they talk

The Vampire's Chosen Mate Author's note
Hi, so that last chapter is how I want this book to end. I don’t want to drag the story on for too long. I also wanted to leave it up to your imagination as to how Dimitri and Rebecca finally end up together. I am thinking about writing a sequel to this book but it depends on how many requests I get from you, my readers. I am also working on another novel right now. No, it’s not a vampire book this time. I am trying to write a normal human book. Please do check it out and show me some support. Finally, I just want to say thank you for taking your time to read my first ever written full story. It was such a spontaneous decision I made and I am glad I did it, because I learnt so much through this writing. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did. If you have anything you want to discuss with me regarding this
The Vampire's Chosen Mate It was always going to be her (44)
DimitriIt has been three months now since my father's funeral. And life was slowly starting to feel normal again. A week after the funeral, my sister had begun training for the role of Queen as my mother held the position for her so long. This kept mom on her toes and as a result she spent less time visiting my dad’s grave. I was glad because I was scared mom was going to lose her mind.Ellie was currently constantly away on trips for months on end. She needed to learn various fighting techniques including Martial arts, Karate, Judo, and Jujutsu. This was my favourite part of all the royal training. I did have a knack for breaking things. She of course went with Damien always. And Damien finally started smiling again. It was so odd at first seeing Damien smile but with time it became bearable. I would never admit this to them, but the truth was that Ellie and Damien fit together rather well.All in all, we were all doing okay.I had left the
The Vampire's Chosen Mate The Queen (43)
DIMITRIWe had finally finished getting everyone who was sleeping over in the palace tonight settled into the building. Before I never really had to do this task. It was usually dad and mom who dealt with this. Mainly it was mom’s job. But I knew better than to give a woman who just lost her husband work. She needed to morn.Despite not being the one that killed dad, I still felt responsible. If I had not gotten myself nearly killed perhaps dad would still be here today.I then threw myself onto the first couch I saw and finally allowed my legs a break from all the hard work. I never knew how much work that was. Now I could have asked Ellie for help, but she was a crying mess as well. Damien on the other hand was just as clueless as me on this matter. So, I decided to have him look after the women while I figured things out on my own. The number of couples who requested separate sleeping arrangements from their partn

DimitriDuring the whole funeral, I had felt on edge and could not fathom why. I was sitting right in front, so I could not look back at all. Yet, the feeling would not go away. I did not think I was in danger at all. However, I could also not place what this odd feeling actually was. My mind had started going forth with hundreds of different reasons as to why I felt uncomfortable throughout the funeral. I was so engrossed in that task that I did not hear when the priest called for me to come say a few words. That was when I realized that non
The Vampire's Chosen Mate Grief (41)
Dimitri"Hey brother, are you ready?" Ellie asked me from outside my bedroom door.It had been a full week since the encounter with Seneca and well, my father's death. My dad and I had not really been the affectionate kind. Whereas my dad would hug Ellie and shower her with kisses, he and I would usually only nod or better yet stare at each other. We hardly ever used words or hugs. The last time I can ever recall being hugged by my dad was when I had just turned 10 years old. After that dad started training me and that meant he was only ever serious with me. But I knew he loved me. I just hope that he knew I loved him too.I was left conflicted on so many things. My father had passed which meant I was now the Vampire king. But I don't know if I wanted the title at all. I also wasn't sure how I felt about my father anymore. There was no doubt that he raised me well.As a child I always looked up to him and wanted to be him. I mean he even taught me h
The Vampire's Chosen Mate Damien was right (40)
DimitriWhen I woke up I found myself, Damien and my father all laying on a soft king sized mattress in the center of the cell. I then tried to get up off the bed but my body was way too weak and felt extremely heavy, so I ended up falling on top of Damien and thus woke him up from his nap. So, I turned to my father and stretched out my hand towards him in an attempt to wake him up as well so we could get out of this dungeon when I heard the strangest of sounds.I could not believe my ears. Now, I know that it was not coming from me or my father since he was still sleeping. So, I let go of dad and turned around to face Damien. I first stopped and watched him in pure disbelief. I then gently went on to touch his wet face and indeed I had seen and heard correctly. Low and behold, Damien was in front of me crying. There were actual tears running down Damien’s face. He was actually crying. This was so insane! I had only seen Damien cry once in his life and that was w
The Vampire's Chosen Mate Not alone anymore (39)
RebeccaThere was no way on earth that I was going to channel Damien. He still had so much to live for. I couldn’t take an innocent life. Besides, the king had destroyed enough in his lifetime already. If you asked me this was a nice way to go.He would be remembered as a hero. And literally speaking a piece of him would always live on in his son.Damien was shouting and arguing with me to not take the king but him instead. So, I had cast a spell to paralyse both him and the king. I didn't have time to discuss this issue right now. Dimitri was dying a little more each time we wasted. I needed to work fast and so I paralysed them both. This way everyone co-operates. I then went to the king and sat in front of him. I could feel my eyes glow as I stared at him. After saying the spell, his eyes closed and I laid him on the ground gently. I then protruded my wolf and my fingers turned into paws. I couldn't fully turn into a wolf since I was only hal
The Vampire's Chosen Mate Beast (38)
DamienSeneca looked a lot like Dimitri. They both had grey eyes, high hollow check bones and dark brown curly hair. Seneca took her time analyzing each person in the cell. She was currently looking at me which made me rather uncomfortable. So, I opted to look at the fascinating floor. She then moved on to look at Rebecca. So, I finally turned my gaze back on her as this was after all my first proper encounter with her. But then I realised that she kept staring at Rebecca. So, I then also turned and looked at Rebecca and saw it. Rebecca’s neck was fully bruised. Her skin around the collar was red and swollen as trails of blood seeped down her neck. I couldn’t understand where these
The Vampire's Chosen Mate Clarity (37)
DimitriI woke up with a killer headache. Which was odd because, I normally wake up from naps feeling well rested. I then proceeded to touch my forehead as if by touching it, I would somehow figure out why my head was pounding. There was no wound open on my head which was great. But there was dried blood on my left forehead. Which could only mean that I had fallen facedown first. But when did that happen? And just like that, it all came crashing back fast. My older sister had finally found me.
