Spells And Mates Chapter Twenty-Two
“Hi Athena, Hi Ares.” I say nervously, plopping my buttocks to sit with them at the school cafeteria. Nothing Mr. Toleofretus said in class, made sense to me. Even Eros and Glinda seem not to be in school. “Hi Hermione.” Ares and Athena reply impassively, still eating and not looking at my face. Whoops. “Look... I really have no clue about that picture, who took it or why? I would not do anything to taint your reputation or be boastful about being friends with you. Athena, Ares, I want you to know that I am not friends with you because you are of royal bloods. I still will be friends with you both if you weren't...” My voice comes out shakily Athena and Ares suddenly burst out laughing. My eyebrows furrow accusingly at them. “Oh goddess! Did you see her face?!” Athena laughs “Yeah, like whatttt!” Ares laughs harder. “Okayyy, what's funny?” I ask, raising my eyebrows. Here I was feeling bad and apologizing for a picture I had no pre-knowledge about, only for these two fellas to

Grandmother clears her throat again “Now Hermione, it is one thing to say Married and another to say Mated to someone… Yes, mated might mean after consummation of love when both mates are ready. But it can also mean the enforcing and altering of a mate bond.” “What are you trying to say grandmother?” I ask confusingly “I am trying to say that with extra powers, we can make the princes think that you both are their mates. For instance, Prince Helios for Ketura and Prince Ares for you. I am sure you have eyes for Prince Ares, don't you?” Grandmother winks “Why am I not surprised?!" I holler standing up abruptly. “By extra powers, I presume dark magic right!? “Please lower your voice Hermione, things aren't always what they seem it is. Nobody has to know.” Grandmother says softly “How dare she even suggest making our mate somebody else's. Kill her!” Ezli roars. My vision tinge red. I inhale deeply to calm down the bloodthirst urge. “Please Ezli, be calm, we need to find out how sh

Ketura and I finally arrives at the palace, after so many bickering about what and what not to bring. Heavens know that I am only tolerating this being for the sake of not being caught unaware, just to be updated on whatever she and grandmother have on her sleeve. But why would anyone in the universe bring her entire clothes for a three-day activity outside her home?? “You are so despicable Hermione, and I am only tolerating you because of your friendship with Prince Ares and Princess Athena...” Ketura hollers abruptly, dragging her bags of clothes ahead. “Tsk. The feeling is mutual.” I mutter, walking comfortably behind her with a backpack. “What did you just say?” Ketura seethes, turning to look at me. “State your name and purpose.” Four palace personnels, asks Ketura and I. “My name is Ketura Crofus, and I am here for the three-day banquet with the king.” Ketura says confidently “Ketura Crofus...” A man mumbles, clicking on a long tablet device in his hands. A portrait of Ke

The palace buzz with activities as girls and boys’ parades themselves in every nook and cranny of the palace. I clench onto Ares and Athena’s hands more tightly, never had I witness such a crowd before. Bonfires were lit in secluded places, the youths and teenagers all try to get along.“Oh Hermione! I have been searching all over for you…” Ketura says “Greetings your highness” she curtseys to Prince Ares and Princess Athena.Lies Ketura. You who winked happily at me, when I was told to go away.“Yeah, sure.” I say instead“Do you have a spot Hermione? You can join my friends and I, there is an empty room in the apartment allocated to us.” Ketura says“No thanks, I will just…” I was saying“She will just stay with me, right Hermione?” Athena cuts in“Yeah, sure. Thank you.” I smile at Athena“Okay, alright then.” Ketura says, leaving dejectedly“Ezli, why are you still sad? We will be staying with Athena and will soon get to meet the prince. The mate you’ve been whining so long for, s

I slowly follow behind, taking in the half naked bodies swirling to the rhythm of the song. I am so sure Ketura will love the liberty in this place. The smell of body sweats fills my nostrils, as I hasten my pace to catch up with Blacktooth and Dris. “Hey baby, come to daddy!” someone abruptly slaps my buttocks. I freeze in shock. This is so... I feel my fingers sparkle with fire, when Blacktooth suddenly hollers at the man, snatching my arm roughly “You keep your hands to yourself man! She is taken!” “Fine, Fine. I didn't know that man!” The said-man lifts his hands in surrender and turn towards the crowd, puffing a smoke from a white rolled thing. Why do they say ‘man’ all of the time? Weirdos. I'll just stay here to clear my head and then return sometime. We got to a door, Dris knocks and a loud voice boom from the other side of the door “Yessss?!” “It's Dris sir!” Dris says “Alright, come in.” The voice booms again. Dris opens the door, whispering to us "Stay here, let me

“Hey sexy, open that beautiful eyes of yours.” a voice says. My eye sight is still very much foggy as I can only make out the dark outline of a shoe. My jaw is soon pulled to see the face of a hefty man, with variety of designed inks on his arms and face. “Yesss... that's it, pretty.” He smiles, caressing my cheeks. “Why am I here? Where is Blacktooth? Where is Mr. Wicker? Let me go this instant.” I panic, trying to remove my hands from whatever was holding it behind. I frantically look to my surroundings; I am being held bound in a big room filled with female clothings. “Hold it pretty, Blacktooth is wherever he is. He has been settled and as for Mr. Wicker... He is just outside the door, with the others waiting for you. Besides I was only told to tame and make you corporate with the terms of the business…After that you can have your life back. But nonetheless, I just might have to taste you before the big men does. It is after all, still part of the taming.” He smirks, licking hi

“What if the foods were poisoned?” His voice interrupts my eating spree for the first time, a pinch of smile creasing on his lips. I gulp, letting the chicken lap fall off my mouth.“It... is...not, is it?” I stutter, leaning on the chair.“No, certainly not.” He smiles, making me dig into the food anxiously. So yummy!“You really shouldn't be too trusting, Hermione.” He says intently.I didn't know whether to throw up or something. Panic settles into my belly.“How do you know my name?” I ask shakily, fear is very eminent in my eyes.Can Ezli make poisons become non-effective? Will I die now? Who is this man? How does he know my name?Ezli stays calm and quiet.“I come from the same tribe as you are, a wizard myself. So, I am able to get your name by simply saying somethings and having a strand of your hair.” He says it so casuallyDread filled my bones “You had my hair?... Like you pulled a strand out of my hair?” I holler frantically“Yeah, Hermione. It is just a strand after all.”
Spells And Mates Chapter Twenty-Nine
Five domestic staffs stand in waiting, few feet from where their master and I sit with him the dining hall. I put some steak into my mouth, chewing it gently. Dead quietness fills the air. Does he perhaps live alone in this big house, save for his helps? Where is his family? I reach for the cup of water on the table, gulping it down, when I heard my name… My eyes pop open from the cup. He gives me that impassive look again, dropping his cutleries. “We need to talk.” He says, leaving the dining hall abruptly. Am I to just follow him like that? I stare at his retreating figure confusingly. The helps still standing, gestures to me to follow him. Arrggh. I roll my eyes, catching up his pace. He stands before a door, secludedly hidden somewhere in the mansion. He takes in a deep breath, bringing out a bunch of keys from his pocket. Slowly he pushes the door open “would you mind going in first?” His demeanor reads hope, as he fists tightly -his shaky hands. “Okay...” I answer quietl
