All Chapters of Spells And Mates: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

I hear murmurings; a girl asks her friend "Oh I am so going to be wearing a beautiful lavender gown. How about you?"Her brunette friend replies "Well, I do not know yet. I guess I will have to trust what I'll see at home, You know my mother is one of the best cloth makers in the entire region?!" "Gracious goddess! I am so envious of you...""Oh Beatrix don't be." She rolls her eyes playfully, "I am pretty sure that we are turn up looking gorgeous. If not the most gorgeous!" The two girls giggle happily.I slowly make my way to the royal unit. I heave out a loud sigh "I really hope the princes and princess will love these bracelets. For I made them with love..."Two feet afore me, is the royal unit completely empty. My heart beat accelerates. Could it be that they had lunch and hurriedly left for they didn't want to be seen with me? Or they skipped lunch?"Hermione, just breathe..." Comes Ezli's voice."O goddess! How then would you explain this Ezli?" I ask, rubbing my throbbing hea

"Gracious goddess!" I pant, clasping my palm over my chest cautiously."Mate... Mate... Mate... Why did you leave him Hermione? You shouldn't have left!" Ezli whines unhappily on our return from the royal ball."What would you have had me do? Grandmother, Ketura, Glinda and practically everybody that I know are in the palace! What should I have done?!" "You should have just stayed a little longer with our mate... Besides nobody could have recognized you!" Ezli whines again"Now that's not a chance I am willing to take. Ketura, Glinda or even grandmother on a closer glance would have recognized me right away... But why do you keep saying mate Ezli? ...right there in the ballroom, it was you, you called that stranger our mate Ezli. But why? A person can't have two mates, or can they? Was my grandmother true when she said I was principal Eldor's second mate?" I ask intensely, my emotions all jumbling up."You need to breath Hermione, breath..." Ezli says soothingly. I take in a deep bre

"Hey Glinda, what's up?" I whisper, tapping her as Mrs. Haggai takes us on the past doings of great witches and warlocks."Can you not talk to me, Hermione. I am trying to concentrate here!" Glinda seethes"Sorry, I just wanted to know if you're okay." I tell her apologetically"Tsk. Do I not look okay to you?" Glinda rolls her eyes"Sorry. It's just me checking up on you." I tell her, making to keep quiet afterwards"Check up on me? I guess you have been doing a lot of check up on the Princess. So why check up on me, it's not like you care!" She snorts"Woah. I care because you're my friend. Can't I ask how my friend is doing? I didn't even see or get to talk to you in the first period. Are you avoiding me Glinda?" I ask"Why will I? Can I even, because you are all up in my business every time!" She snaps loudly, earning an impassive glare from Mrs. Haggai"Is all well, Miss Lokenzi, or would you rather teach the class then?" She asks Glinda, who shakes her head abruptly "I'd rather

Ketura just stands there, looking bored. As though she would give anything to be out of the house.“Hermione, why are you so mean on the poor Man. Don't you see how much he loves and care about you?" Grandmother says, suddenly looking all sincere and sad.Principal Eldor nods quickly in affirmation of what grandmother had just said.“But why me, grandmother? Why not Ketura?” I ask, my heart aching."Hey twit! Don't bring my name into this!" Ketura chips in loudly"Oh Hermione, how can you even say such a thing? Destiny varies, my dear. Besides he says you are the goddess second chance at mate for him, not Ketura.” Grandmother replies"Sure! and I keep telling you that he is not my mate, why can't you just let me be Grandmother?!" I holler firmly"Oh, young lady, do not raise your voice at me! What do you even know think you know? You are just a small child Hermione. Sixteen. You know nothing about mates, isn’t that why that boy you thought was mate with, rejected you?! Hermione, real

“Her-mio-neee.” "Hermio-neee.” Blurry figures hover around me. I close my eyes again, the lighting, my head hurts so much. My eyes flicker open, my sight becoming bolder and clearer Ares. Athena. “Hey, are you okay?” Athena's hand come to wrap mine lovingly. “I am, thanks... But what happened?” My voice comes out croaky “You fainted Hermione, my questions must have made you weary. I am so sorry. Athena told me that you weren't feeling good before... How are you now? I am really sorry.” Prince Ares says apologetically “It is okay my prince, nothing to worry about.” I say calmly, before looking around. “Where am I? Where is this place” The room looks larger... and royal. It can't be... Can it? “Oh, we are at the palace. This is one of the spare rooms Hermione, we had to bring you here. The matrons in the school clinic weren't on duty and we couldn't risk giving you to any uncertified witch in school, since we weren't sure of what happened to you. The royal doctor just left to.
