Chapter 12: Mate

Chapter 12: Mate

“Why did you tell them?” I immediately confronted him the moment

we're out in the garden.

His cold eyes just bore on me, his gazes were like a dagger to my soul.

Is it natural that I person could have this kind of aura?

"We'll get married soon; I presume that's what we have supposed to

do.” He said without a glint of regret.

I crossed my arms in front of him and looked at him with a chinky eyes.

“I was planning of telling them myself and you just popped the bubble.

Now they're shock. Tsk! I don't even think they would allow the

marriage now.” I said pouting.

He caressed his disheveled hair and licked his lower lip. He sighed too

while his eyes stay gazing on me.

“I don't think so.” He whispered hoarsely and moved forward.

He caught my waist and pulled me closer to him. Our body touched

and I closed my eyes when I felt him kiss my forehead.

“Trust me,” He whispered, and I don’t know but I can feel him smirk

from his voice.

I pouted even more and just hugged him back.

He told me before leaving that he will come back tomorrow to talk to

my parents, and I just said yes. When I came back inside, my parents

were looking at me. I can see anger on their faces, but somehow, I can

see worry in their eyes.

“Are you truly pregnant, Pyress.” My dad's voice echoed the whole

room.

It was just us now because the maids went to their chambers. My mom

is behind my dad, she’s worried. Well, I am expecting different, maybe

because I am imagining myself telling them in a good situation but

ugh, my boyfriend just ruined it.

"Yes, daddy.” I said, I can't almost hear my own voice.

Daddy went silent. I couldn't look at them earlier while answering, but I

couldn't help but look now because of the deafening silence.

“Let's talk about this more tomorrow.” Dad said and went out of the

room.

My mom didn't follow my dad and looked at me with weary eyes. She

then walked towards me and held both of my hands.

“Darling... am I to be a grandma so soon?” She whispered to me.

It felt like my heart was touched with a warm hand. It is such a bliss that

my mom is telling me this soft words.

I nodded as tears build up under my eyes.

“Yes.mommy.” I said.

She smiled and let go of my right hand to touch my belly.

“My baby is going to have a baby.” She joked, but it sounded so soft.

I nodded. “I'm sorry mommy if I disappointed you and dad.” I just said.

She shook her head and removed the tears on my eyes. “You dad is just

worried about you. And of course he couldn“t imagine that his daughter

is not a baby anymore.” Mom said.

I sobbed even more and hugged her. Damn, she’s the best mom ever!

I slept that night with ease on my heart. It's like my world is siding on

me, it's like everything is going to be fine

The next morning, I woke up feeling sick. It was horrible, because as the

days pass, the more it's becoming worse. Even one of the helpers were

worried, they said it wasn't normal at all.

But after a while, I was okay. Vigor arrived in the mansion at 8 am and

he was already in front of my parents in the living room when I went

down.

“You will marry my daughter.” I heard my dad that made me almost slip

on the floor.

"Yes, sir I will.” Vigor said immediately.

“Don't be so happy, Latex. I want to meet your parents.” Daddy said.

Vigor was silent for awhile before answering. “My parents died a long

time ago. But I will bring the closet relative that I have.” He said.

“0-oh. Sorry about that,” My mom then butts in.

I know that his parents were dead, but I didn't told my parents.

“How long are they dead? I'm sorry to ask.” Mom added.

“200 years ago.” He said.

I looked at him confusedly and my mom grew silent. My dad then

laughed.

“Are you kidding us?” Daddy said while laughing.

“D-dad he meant 20 years ago.” I said to save him. Is he really crazy to

joke around at time like this?

“Sorry.” He sighed and just placed his left hand on my waist.

“So, when will you bring you relatives here?” Mommy asked this time

again.

“I will bring them later afternoon.” He said after a pause.

Later afternoon? Isn't that a little bit fast?

“Oh, I guess you're really excited.” Mom said. “How many guests would

they be so we can prepare.” She added.

"Five."

I creased my forehead. I have met only two of his closest friends, Leo

and Lex. I never met the eldest of the Vistas, and if Vigor would bring

them, It would be my first time.

“Alright.” Mom then said and called the head of the helpers to give

instructions.

“I shall marry your daughter in 10 days.”

My dad almost chokes from drinking his coffee upon hearing that. He

turned to Vigor with shock.

“Do you think that's too early? My daughter deserves to be wedded

grandly.”

“I will marry her and turn her my queen.” He said seriously.

Now that I noticed, I think Vigor sounded so cold while answering my

parents’ questions. He doesn't even give a little bit of emotions while

talking to them!

“That should be it.” My dad said happily now.

“But I would like to make request.”

We all turned to the man beside me when he suddenly said that.

“I want to marry her in my own ways. In my own domain, in my own

tradition.”

My dad snapped confusedly. “Are you some kind of cult?”

Vigor smirked. “No, we just have our ways of marking our mates.” He

said and this time he’s looking at me darkly and sensually.

I don’t know but it gives me goosebumps.

“Mates? Oh well I guess my princess is going to marry an old-fashioned

man!” My dad dramatically mumbled.

I didn't even turn to my dad and was lost by the locking of our eyes. Hi

golden eyes sparkled with overwhelming emotions.

And I feel so too.
