His Beloved(A vampire's mate)

Chapter 42

*Writer's POV*

The whole hall was empty, only two living souls in it, the emperor and the clan's seer. She let out a sharp gasp, which echoed through the hall, her head lifted up and her eyes glowed a brighter purple.

"What's wrong?" The emperor said, dropping his goblet filled with blood down on the golden stool at his side. Adjusting his robe, he placed his legs down from the stool in front of him and sat up, knowing something surprising was coming.

"She is awaken..." The seer said as her eyes stopped glowing. Her breath was unsteady and her body a little shaken up.

"Who is awaken?...speak now? the emperor commanded, getting tried of the suspense. he needed to know and he wanted to right now.

"Riona...the blind witch, she is awaken." The seer said firmly as she bowed her head low.

"How is that possible...oh, no. Derek! what have you done?" The emperor aid as he stood absurdly, running his hands through his hair severally.

"Mate's mark was all that was needed. Derek marked her, the half vampire and half human and now, the last personality from her mother has been awaken. A witch gives life to a witch, no matter how non -dominant the blood of witch is, when marked by her mate, she is awaken. Riona, the blind witch is awaken."The seer said.

"Why does he have to be fated to die. Now the kingdom is in danger. With no next in line to the throne, no hope." The emperor said shaking his head in disappointment.

"No, you are wrong. With her witch dominant, she has a higher rate of winning this battle."The seer was saying but gets cut off by the emperor.

"More like, more power for Sebastian to suck. Don't you remember what happened few hours ago. we almost lost our only hope to defeat Balian." The emperor said.
"Worst, the witch may hate Derek and want to kill him, just like Lexis did, until she started having feelings for her mate. And believe me, if the gods made Derek that stoned hearted man, fall for Veronica, even with Lexis in her, the gods have another greater trick in their sleeves. Let's wait and see." the seer said as she breath in cold air and closed her eyes in meditation.

"Hope the gods have mercy and let the trick be a good one,not bad. I knew love was bad, ever strongest man weakness. Once again, I do not regret not marking my mate.

*Veronica's POV*

I opened my eyes, trying to accommodate the bright sun shing directly on my face. ' Too bright ' i said shutting my eyes. As soon as I opened them the curtains were closed.

I turned to the others idea to thank Derek for closing the curtain, just for me to meet his eyes closed. He was still sleeping beautifully. Emphasise on ' Beautiful. Damn, he looked so handsome, even when sleeping.

I know right.
~can we touch him~

"Wow! Don't tell me, getting marked by Derek made your voice much more smoother and more sweet, like I just want to listen to you." I said in a teasing tone, although I was serious.

I enjoyed our mind communication. It was just like listening to my thoughts although I don't plan what I want to hear. Lexis was now a part of me, a part I didn't want to lose. I guess that's why I did everything possible to protect her, even syncing our selves together.

Oh shut it.
~can we just keep staring at Derek in silence~

I was getting confused, why was lexis having two different voices, but eh...
