His Unknown Mate Chapter 17 – Full Moon
“Clyde! Sab!” Alice happened to be near and heard their exchange. She quickly went to intervene, sighing as she looked at her son.Sab glanced at her before quickly looking down. She let the tears fall on the ground, squeezing them out without being obvious.“Let’s think about this very carefully. Sab, don’t do anything yet. I’ll speak with Clyde.” She went and dragged Clyde away. He wasn’t happy with it, but he can’t exactly tell that to his mom.When they arrived home, they took seats in the dining room.“Are you sure this is your decision? This is what you want? You’ve been waiting for your mate this whole time, yet you asked her to reject you? I know Sab. She’s a simple child. I’ll say this again, I don’t believe she would lie about her bond with you. You think she’s trying to trap you? Has she ever done anything to make you think that? I know she likes you, but she never did try anything out of line, did she? There were times she couldn’t even speak to you properly because she’s
His Unknown Mate Chapter 18 – Letting Go
Sab felt different the next day. She doesn’t exactly feel lighter. It’s something she couldn’t properly describe. There’s a dull ache over her chest, but it’s nothing new. When she caught a glimpse of Clyde, she smiled at how her heart didn’t skip a beat this time. Is this indifference? She couldn’t be sure. When Ice showed up, he didn’t ask her anything. Though he knew she planned to reject him yesterday, he didn’t ask to confirm if she did. He simply focused on their training. After this week, the monthly evaluations would begin. He dared Sab to defeat all three opponents she would face. Her old self wouldn’t have dared, but this time, she made it her goal. She’s putting all her focus on training. Ice praised her determination and he noticed the change in her. This seriousness is surprising but it’s a good thing.“I’ll buy you a cake if you win all three.” He encouraged her with a reward and her eyes brightened at hearing it.“A big one?” Seems only fitting given how difficult it wo
His Unknown Mate Chapter 19 – Rejected
Sab almost won the bet. She defeated the first two opponents. But on the last day, she lost to the third one, even though it was a close fight. She almost won. Almost. She actually felt sad, instead of feeling accomplished. This is the best performance she ever had in all her monthly evaluations. “I’ll buy you a small cake.” Ice consoled her, chuckling at her expression. She perked up at his offer, “Really?” She’s currently craving something sweet and she’s fond of fluffy cakes covered in icing. “Yes. Meet me at the coffee shop later.” “Alright. Thanks. I’ll see you at six?” She feels much better this time. The evaluations are exhausting, though she got enough rest in between, watching other people’s battles. Ice nodded and left. In a way, she’s beginning to associate the change she’s experiencing with the amount of physical work she’d been doing every day in the last few weeks. It seems the more active she is, the better is her condition. She rested at home for a couple of hou
His Unknown Mate Chapter 20 – Interaction
The inevitable happened after a few more months. Sab had to face Clyde in a fight. She took it seriously and she did have the desire to win.It was awkward. They’re probably the only pair that didn’t bother taunting or talking. Not one word was said between them. It took a while to begin as they both waited for the other to take the initiative in attacking. Realizing that after a few minutes, they went ahead and attacked one another. His movements are firm and he’s quite strong. She had difficulty delivering any real damage. Still, she did her best. It’s good enough that she managed to hit him a few times and she also dodged well.Clyde couldn’t believe he’s unable to take her down within a short time. Then, he remembered who taught her. His annoying twin. He gritted his teeth. He would be damned if this woman wins against him.Finally, after almost half an hour of exchange, he tripped her backwards and stuck a knife against her neck. When he was announced as the winner, he got off he
His Unknown Mate Chapter 21 – Piqued Interest
Their birthday came, and Sab didn’t bother preparing a gift for Clyde. She just didn’t feel like giving him anything this time. She embroidered another handkerchief for Ice and that was it.She attended the celebration and chatted with her friends, Amaya and Rona. They’re not exactly close, but they have amicable interactions. They have good characters.The following month, she was assigned to mentor two newbies. She found it odd that she didn’t have a mentor when she joined training at sixteen. Apparently, average students normally don’t get them. It’s those who are on extreme ends of the spectrum that get them. The best-performing ones and the poor-performing ones.Her lip twitched at reading the files of her trainees, Cleo and Quinn. Clearly, they’re on the lower-end of that spectrum. But the challenge feels more achievable. They can improve a lot and she would guide them.They’re the same age. As a male, Quinn performed better than Cleo. That girl seems more timid than she was. Sa
His Unknown Mate Chapter 22 – Her Trainees
They get a couple of days to rest after evaluations.After the weekend, trainings resumed. She was staring at Quinn as they contemplated what to do. She did notice his slip during the evaluation and he admitted it was an accident, but it helped him win. Expectations for him went up, but he can’t always rely on luck.“You do want to maintain a triple-win every month, don’t you?” She wanted to confirm.“Of course.”“Well, you ought to train harder. I’ll choose a few harsher exercises for you.”“I know. I understand.” He looked a little sheepish as he replied.“Do the usual exercises for now. In the afternoon, we’ll begin with a new one.”“Got it.”Cleo also nodded, listening on the side.In the afternoon, as they were executing a new training program, Clyde approached them. He watched on the side, making Sab raise an eyebrow. She walked closer to him to inquire what he’s on about.“Is there any problem?”“Nothing. You’ve done really well training them.”“Uh, thanks.”“Are you interested
His Unknown Mate Chapter 23 – Bothered
After another evaluation, Sab received a surprising news. Quinn and Cleo have started dating. She’s not sure how to feel about that. Happy and worried. Happy that they feel the same way. Worried because they might not be each other’s fated mate. But who knows? Quinn would be of age in a few more months. “Well, congratulations. I just hope this won’t affect your training.” She can only remind them.“Yes, miss. It won’t.” Cleo assured her with a grin. The young man was also smiling but was more reserved, as he usually was. Sab turned towards Ren and Polly. The girl was happy for the two of them, whereas the boy isn’t impressed. It would seem he does not approve of people who don’t wait for the bond to materialize. But it’s good enough that he’s not argumentative about it. He said nothing to spoil the happy occasion. She didn’t dare tease the younger pair, that they won’t end up dating one another as well. She could already imagine how Ren would react and the words he would say. She di
His Unknown Mate Chapter 24 – Worried
Recently, there’s something else happening to him. Whenever he meets her for lunch, she would greet him with a smile and his heart would react by speeding up. It only lasts for a moment, but it was enough for him to notice. He tried not to be affected.Sab tilted her head while squinting at him, “You look tired.”“Do I?” He raised an eyebrow.“Too much work?”“Yeah. If you agree to teach a class, I would be able to rest more.” He took the opportunity to recruit her again, wiggling his eyebrows at her. They’ve gotten this much comfortable with each other.She can only roll her eyes at him, “I’m not yet ready for that.”“Come on, there’ll be a two-month training before you actually start teaching classes. You can ignore most of the requirements and do it your own way. Look at Ice, he never took it seriously. He just teaches whatever he wants regarding the subject.”She grunted as she took out her lunchbox. Though their house is near and she can technically go home to have a meal, she’s
