Chapter 165: Official Claim

Jules’s pov

"Do you want to be marked by me?" Blaze’s voice was so low that I could have almost sworn I didn’t hear him. I was currently leaning my head against his chest, while he had his arms around my body here in his bed.

"Huh?" I echoed after pulling away from his chest a little to peer into his face.

When he glanced down at me, his eyes held a bunch of emotions in it as he reached up and stroked his thumb across my cheek.

"So stunning." He breathed out and I felt my breath hitch in the next moment. He tilted my chin up and leaned down to graze his lips across mine, waking up the butterflies in my stomach who’ve all went to sleep.

"I want to claim you... officially." He announced after pulling away and I felt my eyes widened a fraction.

"Oh." I mumbled, mind still processing what he had just said and he hummed while nodding, hand reaching up to brush my hair out of my face.

"I’ve been thinking, with so many bastards having their eyes on you, I think the best thing for me to do is to claim you officially, and that involves me giving you a mating bite." He continued and my stomach clenched up, mind coming at alert even more.

I had literally never imagined that I’d ever have to get a mating bite before, because I’ve always assumed I’d get married to a fellow warlock or witch.

"A mating bite..." I called out, testing the words on my tongue.

"Would it hurt?" I blurted out in the next moment and the side of his mouth twitched as he kept regarding me.

"No, bunny. It won’t." He finally responded and I nodded slowly.

"Ohh." I moved closer to him, sliding my around his waist. "That sounds great then."

"Really? You really want to get mated to me?" He asked, brows arched this time and I slowly nodded.

"We’re fated mates, right?" I mumbled and he snorted.

"I still want you to want to do this of your own will, and not just because of what fate decided." He informed me and once again, I felt my eyes widen right before I slowly nodded in understanding.

"Ohh."

"Yup." He echoed out.

I sat up beside him in the next moment, pushing my hair out of my face as I made to speak.

"I do want us to get mated, in respective of the fates." I announced and this time, his eyes twinkled while a small smile appeared across his face.

"This isn’t a small feat though." He continued after a few moments.

"Being mated is a forever thing. You know how mating bonds works, right?" He asked and I slowly shook my head.

"I- I don’t know how it actually works, but I don’t mind it being forever, I wanna spend every day of my life with you anyway." I mumbled while shrugging and Blaze breathed out a laugh this time while he rolled on his back and slipped one arm underneath his head.

"That was so cheesy." He mused with a small chuckle and I felt my cheeks pink up a little.

"A mating bond is like a rope." He finally began to explain, face a mask of seriousness. "When two fated mates decides to mate, that rope becomes one. They’re no longer two but one, because their souls would become one. If something happens to one of them, it would destroy the other person. If one of them suffers, the other suffers in spirit, and if one dies, the other wouldn’t be able to live on without their mate."

Once he was done explaining, my eyes widened so much because that was do not what I expected because I never expected the bond to work to that extent.

"If you chose to be mated to me, it means you agree to all these things." He continued and I felt my heart hammer against my chest. My hands were on my knees and I squeezed them together as I regarded Blaze.

"Do you agree to all of that?" I asked after a few moments and Blaze hummed.

"Of course." He responded and I felt my heart flip around in my chest.

"Oh wow." I blurted out without thinking and he snorted in the next second, brow arched.

"Why? You don’t think I like you enough to do all of that?" He asked and I hastily shook my head, not wanting him to get the wrong idea.

"No, no. It’s not that." I explained.

"It’s just that, it sounds so sacred and almost scary, and it’s mind blowing and flattering to know that someone like you, who’s aware of all of this and still wants to go ahead and get mated to me." I explained, gesturing between the two of us with my hands for more emphasis.

The spot on his forehead pinched together as he slowly turned on his side.

"What do you mean by someone like you?" He asked and I huffed out a small breath.

"You’re... you know? You’re Blaze, all powerful and respected by literally everyone is afraid of and also wants to be with, and I’m just well, I’m just me, who needs rescuing every time..." I trailed off, my heart feeling compressed all of a sudden.

Blaze didn’t look happy when our eyes met again, he had a small scowl across his face this time.

"Do you know the amount of people who wants you on a daily basis?" He suddenly asked and I blinked at him in confusion.

"Do you understand the amount of people who wants to get their hands? My father doesn’t get himself in irrelevant things. The fact that he keeps trying to get you is proof enough that you’re actually important. Andrian who spent months building up a relationship with you, definitely wants you for a reason. If you weren’t relevant, you’d have been killed along with your family."

I bit on my bottom lip as he continued.

"Xander, Kai, Malachi... I can keep listing names of princes who wants to get their hands on you. Surely if you’re are as irrelevant as you think, you wouldn’t be in the eyes of everyone like you think. So stop looking down on yourself, okay?"

I chewed at the inside of my cheek as I slowly let out a squeak.

"Okay."
