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
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-28The 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
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-29The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 17: Phone
Akiro’s Point of ViewI groaned in frustration. I really should have made Heli buy a phone for himself, so I could text or call him whenever I wanted! He said I could call him anytime and he'd be right here immediately, but I’ve been calling him here inside my room for the past thirty minutes and not even a shadow of him can be seen.After a few more minutes of trying, I eventually gave up. Instead of waiting for him to arrive, I picked up my jacket and wallet and went out of the house. I have my own savings from the few side-jobs I did to support my studies. I’ll buy Heli a second-hand phone so I can communicate with him anytime.I locked the gate of our house because my grandparents weren’t home. Once I ensured it was fine, I spun on my heels to leave.Only to bump at the person standing so closely behind me. I didn’t bother looking at who it was; I just smacked his arms. He muttered a low ‘oh’ which made me glare at him.“I’ve been calling you for half an hour! Why didn’t you come?
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-29The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 18: Smile
Heli’s Point of ViewDamn fucking shit.Akiro: I’ll just eat lunch, then I’ll talk to you again, okay? Akiro: In the meantime, you should practice your typing skills. It takes you three business days to finish a single sentence hahaha.I frowned at what Akiro said. Three business days? What was that supposed to mean?I replied with a simple ‘okay’ even if I didn’t completely understand what he meant, then I proceeded to practice typing on the phone just like what Akiro said. I decided not to follow him to the cafeteria so I wouldn’t be distracted by looking at him and listening to their conversation.There were a lot of students around the bench where I’m currently seated. I was inside Akiro’s class earlier, secretly chatting with him. In all honesty, I’m grateful he thought of this idea. I enjoyed chatting with him and watching his reaction. Though I do feel bad that he’s not focusing his attention on the lecture, he didn’t seem to mind.It was half an hour later that I received a m
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-30The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 19: Persistent
Akiro’s Point of ViewHandsome. He knows he’s freaking handsome, so he’s doing it on purpose to fluster the hell out of me because he knows I’m so gay about him— wait, he knows?! Does he know?I groaned in frustration, shutting the book I was supposed to read. I can’t think of anything else aside from that freaking vampire's smile! There’s a small part of me regretting that I teased him about smiling more often, because I keep on getting flustered when he directs it at me, though a larger part of me actually likes it. He wasn’t kidding when he said that he actually looks charming when he smiles. It makes me want to keep Heli’s smile all to myself. I don’t want others to see it.Not like he’s actually showing himself to other people. I know he’s just around the campus because he seems to know every single thing that happens to me even though I haven’t seen him around.And I’m kind of satisfied with that— I’m the only one who sees him, besides the time he was seen outside the campus wh
Huling Na-update : 2024-12-31The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 20: Plan
Heli’s Point of ViewThis is one of the few times that I hated my enhanced senses. All the mixed scents of the people mingling at once makes my head and nose hurt. These human beings are lucky they can’t smell what I’m smelling right now.Not to mention the loud music... They should be grateful I managed to control my senses, so I wouldn’t be too affected by all these smells and noises. Mother taught us how to control it in case we tried to visit the human world, and it did its purpose every time I was in a club to watch over my mate. At least, their school was quite tolerable because no one was playing such loud music; It was only the people’s constant talking. But this one’s getting on my nerves.There were people making out everywhere I looked. There were people dancing near the pool. There were people playing outside. Then there were people going upstairs to find a vacant room and fuck each other to oblivion. They don’t even have the decency to lower their voices. I could fucking
Huling Na-update : 2025-01-05The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 21: Underestimate
Akiro’s Point of View“I-I’ll just go to the restroom...” I muttered to Roger, my vision swirling around so I had to hold on to the table.I couldn’t clearly see his face, but I think I saw Roger looking at me and... smirked?“I’ll go with you there. It’s on the second floor.”Despite my confusion, I still nodded, which I immediately regretted because I just got dizzier. Someone held my left arm, while another one snaked an arm around my waist. Had I not been dizzy, I would’ve pushed their arms away from me. Heli’s just around! I don’t want him to see anyone touching me!But I let them be so I wouldn’t get lost looking for the restroom.I was dragging my feet as we reached the upper floor. Roger and his friends who came to accompany me to the restroom were murmuring to each other, something I couldn’t hear. Though I’m pretty sure I heard them snickering and someone even high-five behind me.We continued heading towards the room at the farthest corner where no one was heading to. Roger

The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 127: Paranoid
Third Person’s Point of View“Take care of your mate, alright? Don’t let him go anywhere alone,” Queen Camilla reminded his youngest son, who huffed indignantly at being reminded of taking care of his mate.“Of course, Mother. You don’t need to remind me,” Heli replied.The Queen narrowed her eyes on her son. “There’s nothing wrong with being reminded, Heli.”“I know, Mother.”Queen Camilla huffed, then stepped closer to her son and kissed his head. “Take care, son. And enjoy it as well.”“I will. Thank you, Mother.”After bidding goodbye to his father, he left the room to find his mate, who told him he’d just bid goodbye to his friend in the kitchen. He met Akiro on the stairs, who seemed to be looking for him as well.“Heli!” Akiro exclaimed. “Are you done talking to your parents?”Heli nodded. “And you?”“Yeah. Though it’s a little bit disappointing that Shiro wouldn’t come,” Akiro pouted. “Maybe I can hang out with him next time instead. He doesn’t really want to hang out with the
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 126: Idea
Third Person’s Point of ViewAfter the engagement party, there was rarely a time when anyone wouldn’t see Akiro and Heli together. Where Akiro goes, Heli follows. The rare time they weren’t together was when Akiro hung out with Shiro, and even that had been reduced to just a few days a week compared to their daily hangouts before.They became inseparable, still on the high of their engagement. And despite their family and friends’ teasing and protests, neither of them cared enough to change it. Two weeks after the party, Akiro was left alone because Heli had to attend a negotiation with an elite vampire clan in Heldrix’s stead because the older Lancaster had been tasked with something else at the last minute.In his boredom, he suddenly came up with an idea. He quickly went to Shiro to ask his opinion.“What do you think?” Akiro asked.“I think it’d be good for you,” Shiro answered. “You’ve been cooped up in the palace ever since you arrived here. You seldom go to the town. You haven
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 125: Dance
Third Person’s Point of View“To our honored guests, I deeply apologised for the ruckus earlier, but I assure you all; everything’s been handled already. If you wish to continue the party, you may do so. Those who wish to leave, you may do so as well. My Queen and I will escort you out,” King Vladimir announced when he and the rest of his family returned to the hall. Just as he expected, Regia Astara’s allied kingdoms, Regia Terrania and Regia Valexia, had left soon after them. Only Regia Solaria’s allied kingdoms remain, as well as the only kingdom where merfolks live, Regia Zepharia. It’s also the only kingdom that is neutral. No enemies, no allies. Being the only merfolk in Eldritch makes them practically the odd ones out, so the others tend to ignore or leave them be.The party continued with only four kingdoms remaining, though Regia Zepharia left an hour later, leaving the allied kingdoms on their own.“That’s insane,” Aubrey commented after Akiro finished telling them the reas
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 124: Problem
Third Person’s Point of View“Had I known those humans’ filthy offspring were the one engaged to the ice prince, I wouldn’t have bothered attending their party!” Queen Amari exclaimed as she stomped inside their bedroom. “What a waste of time and effort!”“We should pay more attention next time,” King Lorenzo said. The Queen scoffed. “I knew there was a reason I wasn’t paying attention during the introduction. My gut was telling me it was a piece of shit that was in front!”In truth, she didn’t pay attention because she was busy trying to identify the weird scent she could smell amidst the hundred mixed scents floating inside the hall. That particular scent stood out though, and it grated Amari’s nerves because it was so familiar, but she couldn’t pinpoint why.And then, coincidentally, she almost bumped into the owner of the weird scent. Upon seeing the owner’s face, a memory from nearly a lifetime ago flashed in her mind.Her first love. Her first mate. Her first heartbreak. The o
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 123: Murderers
Third Person’s Point of View“What the fuck are you on?” Heli growled at the woman, pushing Akiro behind him. The miniscule respect he had for the woman quickly faded the moment she yelled insults towards his mate.“That man you’re hiding from me!” the woman continued yelling, uncaring of the crowd that gathered around them to watch. “Why the hell is he here!?”“This man that you’re pointing at is my mate and my soon-to-be-husband,” Heli snarled, glaring viciously at the woman. “And if you forgot, you’re a ‘guest’ here at ‘our’ engagement party. So if I were you, I’m going to watch my fucking tongue before I cut it off.”The woman’s eyes widened, both in surprise at how the ice prince had talked to him and at the fact that it was Akiro who Heli was engaged with.“What...”Akiro narrowed his eyes at the woman, thinking about what made her angry. He was sure it was the first time he had met her, but she seemed to know him. And then there’s her anger that he had no idea where it came fr
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 122: Reunited
Third Person’s Point of ViewHeli knew his mate was itching to find his friends and greet them. He knew Akiro was slowly getting bored with meeting different people from different kingdoms. But he couldn’t find himself to help his mate get out of their situation. Akiro has already fulfilled his part of the tradition, and he can go to his friends now after the introduction. But Heli didn’t want him to go.This was supposed to be about them, but Akiro would eventually spend more time with his friends than with Heli, who knew he’d be stuck with socialising with the other kingdom’s rulers.Heli knows it was selfish of him to keep his mate by his side when Akiro clearly wanted to escape, but he didn’t want the man to go. He didn’t want to see him spending time with other people while he wasn’t there.But upon seeing the longing look in Akiro’s eyes, when he finally saw his friends gathered at a table, Heli relented. He would rather feel jealous than see his mate look like that.“Go on,” H
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 121: Betrothed
Third Person’s Point of ViewAkiro stood on the balcony of their room, watching the guests trickle inside the palace gate. None of them were permitted to arrive directly in front of the palace. They all needed to pass the gates with the invitation card given to them with the kingdom’s sigil.He felt his excitement rise when he saw Terrence and Aubrey along with the rest of the royal family of Regia Obsivia. He was itching to leave his room and approach them when Regia Luximere followed just a few minutes after. His friends were here! He was dying to talk to them, but because of Regia Solaria’s tradition, he could only show up once they were called. He wanted to meet his friends first! He hasn’t had the chance to talk to them since the meeting. He misses them.His excitement dwindled when he saw another kingdom appear. Even though he never saw them, he immediately knew who they were.Regia Astara’s royal family. Even from afar, Akiro could see the way they carried themselves. Their po
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 120: Preparation
Third Person’s Point of View“Do I really need to do this?” Akiro asked, face pleading at his mate, who smirked at him.“Of course. We’ll dance in front of the guests and our family. We have to give them a show.”Akiro huffed. “But I can’t dance!”The vampire raised an eyebrow. “Oh? But I can still perfectly remember you dancing with a stranger in a bar,” Heli said. “Sexy dance, if I might add.”Akiro blushed at the reminder. “T-that’s different! I’m drunk then! I didn’t know what exactly I was doing!”“Uh-huh. And yet you still kept a cool head to stop the girl when she was about to throw herself at you,” Heli’s eyes turn dark at the memory of the girl’s pathetic attempt at flirting and seducing his mate, who wasn’t even into girls. “That’s because even in my drunken state, I know my preferences.”Heli raised an eyebrow, dark eyes staring intensely at his mate. “Oh?” he mumbled lowly. “So if it was a guy, you’d flirt back?”Akiro’s eyes widened, knowing full well he had made a trap
The Last Chosen Mate Chapter 119: Engagement
Third Person’s Point of View“Do you think he’d agree?” Queen Camilla asked her husband, brows furrowed in concern.The King glanced at his wife, smiling reassuringly. “He will.”The Queen bit her lips, still hesitating. Thousands of negative thoughts swirl inside her mind, and her heart aches at the thought it’d be his son who would suffer the consequences if it fails.Though it seemed the King had noticed her internal crisis, his hands reached out to his mate’s face. “It’ll be alright, Cami. He’ll agree; I’m sure of that.”“How? Even I hadn’t See it happening,” the woman replied.But the King just smiled. ###Akiro groaned. “Stop being annoying and just help me with this, will you?” he grumbled at his friend, who was cackling maniacally after teasing him about his burnt cookies.“How the hell can I help you with that? It’s not salvageable anymore!”“And whose fault is that? You distracted me when I was supposed to get it out of the oven!”“Oh, please. Stop using me as an excuse fo
