Aqualino opened his eyes and saw that he was in an extra large luxurious room. Everything glittered gold! He rubbed his temples and tried to recall what happened and then gasped. Yeah! He had unexpectedly found his mate that he'd been looking for at Aquainia, his kingdom.
To think that his beloved mate was such a feeble human...ahem... she isn't exactly weak as she had rendered him weak in minutes but it was mostly due to their mate bond.
How he wished he could turn back time and never came to Earth in the first place. Sigh, there's no medicine for regret. He can only chew on this bitter meal he had been offered by life as it was better than the cakes offered by death.
He removed the blanket covering him and saw that he was n.a.k.e.d. Yeah, he'd forgotten that when he transforms, he'd be n.a.k.e.d. He must have transformed again last night. He looked at his little proud brother and patted it with a sigh. Just thinking of facing his new mate...he felt goosebumps. Before now, he'd imagined his mate to be tall, s.e.xy, extremely pretty and gentle. But that Meera, what part of her fits into these descriptions. Granted she was indeed pretty but can she be shown to his people? How many would laugh at him!
"I'm so unlucky"he muttered when he felt someone slap his head.
"Who dared to hurt this prince?" he muttered in a foreign language. His legs immediately changed into a tail.
But unexpectedly, there was another slap or maybe it was a hit? Let's say it's hit coz it wasn't done by bare hands but a stick.
That felt familiar! Could it be... Aqualino broke in cold sweat. It was his mate, Meera Sharma dressed in yellow pants, a black crop top and white sneakers. She held a baton and used it to pat her left palm, a devilish smile on her face.
"You want to beat me? Go ahead! Do it and bite me and swallow me"Meera barked before continuing the hit. She first hit his tail and he quickly transformed back revealing his glory before her with his legs spread open.
"You...again?"she quickly turned around.
"Hurry up and clothe yourself so i can continue hitting you."she said unhappily,tapping her left foot on the marble floor.
"Am I allowed to faint again please?" Aqualino asked in frustration. This is not how a mate should be. She ought to love him and show him deep respect as her future husband that is if they ever got married. Usually mates fall in love with each other but what kind of situation is this? Two enemies become mates and their hatred increases upon each meeting. Hah he just wanna go back to his Momma's w.o.m.b and end up as a stillborn.
"You can faint if you don't want your skin anymore. Besides who said you can be fairer than me?"Meera asked impatiently.
"Er...let's say it's natural" he scratched his head.
"Shut up! You think I'm a fool? Look at my feet"Meera thundered.
Aqualino brought his eyes to her feet and right there on both sides of her feet was a tattoo. A pink and green snake tattoo that looked really nice on her feet. For a moment, Aqualino wanted to drool but recalling the baton in her hand he dared not.
"What spell did you cast on me? Better take it back or you're dead meat" Meera was really pissed and Aqualino finally realized why she was pissed and shook his head not knowing what or how to feel.
Resigned, he closed his legs an transformed to part snake.
"You can look back now but don't hit me. Let's discuss like a.d.u.l.ts please" Aqualino felt this was the only way.
Meera dropped the baton and turned around to look at Aqualino. She wasn't shocked to see him in this form anymore. It felt weird though, why wasn't she scared of him killing her?Usually, when she sees snakes she'd yell out her lungs say less of a snake man in front of her. But instead she felt like beating him up when she looked at him. What was going on?
"Lady, what's on your feet isn't a curse but a treasure. Keep it in mind" after saying that , he quickly vanished. Now this stunned Meera to the extent that she fainted.
Outside the room, Aqualino materialized dressed in purple loose t-shirt, black pants, and green sneakers complementing his green hair. He looked extremely hot that those who saw him blushed whether male or female.
Aqualino cared not about them. He had a mission to accomplish now. He asked where Yuvraj Sharma was and they directed him to the hall where he met him earlier. He saw a pretty but aged lady sitting beside him dressed in black from head to toe. She had panda eyes from insomnia these days. Make-up couldn''t conceal the fact that she was depressed.
"Hello old man and lady!" he greeted with a forced smile.
The lady opened her eyes obviously pissed. "Brat what did you say? I'm old? It's your mama who's obese and ugly and very thin and dry like firewood and..." she was held down by Yuvraj.
"Baby, calm down. He has information on our son-in-law. Let's not piss him off" Yuvraj advised.
"Brat, you're lucky today. Sit there with your hands raised up as punishment" she thundered.
Honestly, Aqualino was surprised by her outburst. Sigh, it's indeed hereditary. No wonder his mate behaved like that. He nodded and sat on the chair opposite the couple but instead on raising his hands, he crossed his legs and took a small pillow to hug pissing off Mrs. Sharma even more but Yuvraj pinched her. He also warned Aqualino with his eyes. In effect he was wordlessly telling him " Don't piss my wife off. You don't wanna know the aftermath. Idiot!"
