Chapter 429 Love Is A Beautiful Thing

Theophilus's point of view….

  The day was getting near and midnight was almost approaching, it's afternoon quite alright but I feel the midnight is already here. I have not been able to see Abigail, rather I saw Gracie. 

   I was in my room dressing up as instructed by dad because I was going to follow Tiana up for a ritual bond. It's necessary so that when I meet with my bride tonight, we will click.

 I thought it was not necessary and to think of it, the ancient necklace will be used for the ritual before I will hand it over to Abigail. I laughed in my mind knowing fully well that the original necklace is somewhere else, it's with the one I love, the one if I am given the chance, I will be with, the one I am thinking of breaking protocol tonight because of.

    I don't know how I am going to do it but I am definitely going to rebel against marrying Abigail. I have thought of how I will be unhappy all the rest of my life being with someone I don't love.

  Mom once told me of how she slept with Dad without knowing that he is her mate. She told me the whole story of how she didn't know that she was a witch until after the night she slept with dad and I found her story fascinating.

    I love the fact that she is in love with Dad not because they were destined to marry each other but because they love themselves. I haven't told her my fears of not loving Abigail or what I feel because I don't want her to be worried about me.

    I don't believe that when you marry your mate or meet with your mate even if you don't love yourselves, the mate Bond will make you love each other.

   I have really traveled around the world, my ability to withered away, to be invisible and to appear and disappear has made me be to many places during my 20 years on earth and I can tell you that I fancy love.

 Love is a beautiful thing and I want to spend the rest of my life with the one I love regardless of being here where there is no civilization. I was born here quite alright but I wished that the South is like Beverly. You get to go out with your love, have lunch and dinner, not the kind of Life mom and dad lived. Since I knew them, it's been from one throne duty to another, putting the people first.

  Such life is boring and that's what I am going to be subjected to and the least that can be done to me is to allow me to marry the one my heartbeat for.

     I sighed and adjusted my royal dress, I was dressed in this plain gaski royal attire. It's Southern wear for the royal family and as I am ending my 19th year in a few hours, it's a must that I dress in it. It marks the beginning of my reign.

  I never imagined that I would wear it because I hated the garment with passion. Dad might have changed a few things but I am going to change many and if possible bring civilization to the South.

     I felt a sharp pain on my chest and all that came to me was Gracie. I remembered what mom said about mates, that they feel each other both in pain and a lot more. If that's what I am feeling now, it shows Gracie is in trouble then. I might have made her my mate by drinking her blood.

  I have not heard that a witch can automatically choose his mate by drinking the other's blood.

  I never drank Gracie's blood by accident, she offered it to me or maybe I did.

Eleven years back, does it mean I marked her that year even though I was just trying to save her from the snake bite. I remembered that instead of spitting her blood out, I swallowed it and ever since then, I have always wanted her blood and I had it today which did feel like some parts of me emerged with me.

    If this is the case then I don't think this wedding tonight will hold when I had a mate that I marked myself. Destiny gave me a mate but I chose mine accidentally, the last time someone had two women entangled with him was years back and the story did not end well because the man chose the one he loved and the other committed suicide and that story linked to mom because grandma is the reincarnated lady that committed suicide.
