CHAPTER 14 : THE MATING BALL (PART1)
CHAPTER 14 : THE MATING BALL (PART1)
“Can we dance?” Juliet questioned Ronin who nodded his head as he stood up gesturing his hand
while Juliet took it as they waved at others and went to the dance floor while they did the ballroom
dance like how the other couples were doing.
Ronin wrapped his arms around Juliet’s waist while she had wrapped her around his shoulder as they
were moving according to the beat ignoring everyone and just enjoying themselves.
“Um, Ron...uh no Prince Ronin” Juliet stuttered out as Ronin shook his head sighing. He leaned down
as he whispered in Juliet’s ear “Call me Ron or whatever you like but don’t add prince” which suddenly
sent a shiver down her spine.
“O-Okay” Juliet stuttered out embarrassed making Ronin chuckle.
“Good girl” He whispered as he pulled her closer than she was.
“Um, but why shouldn’t I call you a prince? Everyone over here is calling you that” Juliet questioned all
curious as Ronin smiled tugging her hair back her ear while he kissed her cheek.
“Well, my princess I am your mate so you can call me anything even idiot” Ronin joked as he ended up
laughing with Juliet who suddenly hugged him.
“Thank you for coming back for us and not leaving Luna even though so much happened with her”
Juliet spoke in a low voice as she averted her eyes and kept on staring at her heels.
“Hey princess, look at me...” Ronin whispered as he kept his index finger under Juliet’s chin and made
her face up while he continued speaking “...you are my precious mate. I will never leave you because
leaving you mean leaving my soul. We all Luna and she had always cared for me when I was in the
orphanage” as he kissed Juliet’s forehead in the end.
“Even though Luna looks tough and scary on the outside, she is a soft, caring, and very kind person on
the inside.” Ronin spoke making Juliet smile as she knew how much her sister was loved even though
she made so many mistakes.
“By the way, Ronin is this the mating, or is there anything after this?” Juliet questioned as she
remembered how she would be Ronin’s mate forever.
“You don’t need to stress over anything. I have prepared a surprise for you so forget about the mating
for now and concentrate only on me” Ronin smiled as he hugged Juliet who hummed hugging him
back. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Is that Isabella? She came to the orphanage often to meet you...that is her right?” Juliet questioned as
she let Ronin go all sad knowing she always saw them together and people starting making a rumor
that she was going out with him that saddened Juliet a lot.
“Well yeah that is her and she is married now. She has a mate and always came to the human world
and stayed with me because my parents asked her to protect me till I turn into a proper vampire since it
was dangerous for a human kid to be in a vampire world.” Ronin explained a bit as Juliet smiled
nodding her head.
“Her dad and mom are good friends with my parents since they were in high school. Her parents were
in my parents’ gang along with three more couples” Ronin spoke as he held Juliet’s hand while he
pulled her towards Isabella and her mate Noah.
Ronin smiled as he kissed Juliet’s cheek who kissed his back happily.
“You don’t have to be jealous of her. If you hug and kiss me all my fangirls would scare you and if you
get scared while you try to hide all the boys will find you cute so I would break their neck” Ronin
laughed out making Juliet giggle.
“Hey, Juliet long time no see” Isabella giggled out as she bowed down so Juliet did the same.
“Yes, how are you?” Juliet questioned as Isabella held her hand smiling.
“I am good and you?” Isabella questioned making Juliet smile who spoke “Great” while she glanced at
Ronin who smiled at her.
“I didn’t imagine that the boy I protected from vampires would grow up to have a mate who he used to
bully” Isabella laughed as her mate ended up laughing as well.
“Oh, Juliet this is my mate, Noah. Noah this is princess Juliet who used to cry a lot because of Ronin
who pulled her hair all the time and called her names” Isabella who was four years older than Ronin
shook her head while Ronin nervously laughed making Juliet giggle.
“Nice meeting you princess, are you enjoying the ball? Noah questioned Juliet who hummed excitedly.
“I honestly love it. I feel like a princess and as if I am in a movie” Juliet giggled out making Ronin, Noah,
and Isabella laugh.
“Well, you are one” Noah smiled as Juliet hummed happily.
“Oh, by the way, Juliet you have to be really careful and brave when it’s the actual mating time because
it will hu-” Isabella couldn’t complete her sentence as Noah had placed his hand over her mouth.
“Well, we will go now because my brother just called us” Noah chuckled as he pulled Isabella with him
because he knew Juliet was a human and would end up being scared if she knew more about the
mating.
“Does it seriously hurt? I am scared?” Juliet questioned as she held Ronin’s arm who gave her a small
smile.
“You don’t have to be scared because I won't ever do anything that would hurt you,” Ronin said as he
gently pulled Juliet took a corner.
“It’s okay, I will try to be brave because after that I will be yours forever and no one would ever be able
to separate us” Juliet giggled out as Ronin pushed her in a corner trapping her.
Ronin licked his bottom lip as he kept on staring her Juliet’s lip as she averted her eyes shyly.
Ronin sighed as he gently made Juliet face up and connected his lips with hers.
He kept on kissing her pink lips while he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her towards
himself while she wrapped her arms around her neck.
“H-hey” Ronin and Juliet heard someone say as they broke the kiss and looked around to see no one.
“D-Don’t push” someone stuttered yet again as Ronin held Juliet’s hand and walked carefully and
looked behind the wall towards the stairs when he saw Draco flirting with Luna.
Juliet smiled with red cheeks as she saw her sister trying to get away from Draco’s embrace who kept
on hugging her and kissing her.
‘Stop staring at us you both idiots’ Juliet and Ronin heard Draco’s voice in their head as their face
turned red in embarrassment while they walked away laughing.
Ronin walked towards the table where the food was served as he gave Juliet a pizza slice as she took
a bite from it making Ronin smile.
“I like it” Juliet smiled as she took the pizza from Ronin’s hand and slowly ate it when suddenly Ronin
stole a peck from her leaving her in shock.
Ronin started hearing whispers and comments being thrown at them as he completely ignored
everyone. He noticed few unmated vampires, wolves, and other creatures glaring at Juliet while some
were looking at her with lust-filled eyes.
“Pathetic human” a boy rolled his eyes at Juliet who sighed averting her eyes which made Ronin really
angry as he could tell his mate was sad.
“How stupid are they? There can only be one mate and only one. Our destiny chooses our mates for us
who is capable to be with us no matter what and we aren’t allowed to select unless we don’t have a
mate yet these people are saying all this shit” Ronin whispered to Juliet as he shook his head annoyed
at them.
“Just ignore them sweetheart” Ronin whispered as Juliet took a wet tissue and cleaned her hands.
Ronin gave Juliet a glass of sprite and he took one for himself as well.
They walked towards the sofa that Michael and Victoria assigned for them. Juliet now felt at ease
knowing no matter what she was Ronin’s mate and he never chose her it was destiny.
Juliet and Ronin sat on one of the black two-seater sofas as he wrapped one arm around her waist
while she rested her head on his shoulder.
“I am having a bad feeling about all this” Juliet suddenly sighed as she closed her eyes for few minutes.
“Why sweetheart? Everything ok?” Ronin questioned as Juliet shrugged her shoulder sighing when she
noticed Alyssa and Loukas walking their way while they sat on their assigned black two-seater sofa.
Ronin noticed Alyssa and Loukas were holding hands which made him smile. “Look” Ronin whispered
in Juliet's ear as he gestured towards Alyssa and Loukas with his eyes making Juliet giggle.
“Ronin where are Luna and Draco?” Loukas questioned while he stared at his brother.
“Maybe flirting somewhere” Ronin answered back as Juliet and Alyssa giggled while Loukas shook his
head chuckling.
“Oh, Jace and Alex are not around as well” Alyssa now spoke as Juliet hummed agreeing.
“Well, they would definitely be flirting somewhere in a corner” Loukas now answered making Alyssa,
Juliet and Ronin laugh while he laughed with them.
Juliet noticed Alex jogging their way as he bent down breathing heavily. “Hey, you okay Alexander?”
Loukas questioned as he stood up taking a sealed water bottle and giving it to Alex who hummed.
“Jace was busy with his sister so can I borrow Alyssa and Juliet for few minutes please” Alex smiled as
he pleaded while Ronin glanced at Loukas who shrugged.
“Yeah, sure besides we need to talk to our parents anyway so just take care of them for us” Alex
nodded his head as Loukas and Ronin walked away leaving Juliet and Alyssa with Alex.
“We need to find Luna as soon as possible” Alex spoke as he started to walk quickly while Alyssa and
Juliet followed him.
“Alex, what’s wrong?” Alyssa questioned as Juliet almost tripped making Alex giggle so he held her
hand smiling. “I saw some girls talking about trashing this mating ball and I can’t tell you because it will
ruin the surprise that the boys prepared for you” Alex explained as he saw Luna talking with Draco
while she was pulling his tie.
“Brother Draco” Alex yelled as Draco turned around looking at Alex, Alyssa, and Juliet who smiled at
him.
“Whatcha doing here?” Draco questioned as he pulled Alex and wrapped his arm around his shoulder.
“Brother Draco your brothers are with uncle and auntie discussing the thing we talked about” Alex
spoke as Draco hummed understandingly.
“Alie, I am leaving Luna in your care” Draco spoke as he kissed the crown of Luna’s head while he
waved at them all and walked away.
“Everything okay?” Luna questioned as Juliet shook her head while they all walked back to the sofa.
“Alex saw some girls talking about trashing this mating ball and Alex can’t tell us because it will ruin the
surprise that the boys prepared for us” Juliet spoke all sadly making Luna sigh.
“I knew something like this would happen” Luna groaned as she sat on the sofa with Alex next to her.
Juliet sat with Alyssa who was equally worried as her sisters and Alex.
“Okay, I kind of predicted this would happen like I was like 50 percent sure since something like this
happened in Jace’s sister mating time and even mine so I already prepared everything cause I knew
anything could happen” Alex spoke as he stood up and walked to the table where he picked three small
bags.
He walked back as he sat on the sofa and gave one bag to each. “Did I give you guys the right ones?”
Alex questioned as Juliet saw her name on the bag so she nodded her head.
“Great now open this when I give you the signal too so for now keep this with you and I am sure no one
will notice since it’s so small,” Alex spoke as Luna kept hers in her clutch shrugging.
“Oh yeah I can do that too” Alyssa giggled out as she kept her bag inside the clutch while Juliet did the
same as well.
The boys walked back as Alyssa stood up and went to sit with Loukas while Ronin sat with Juliet.
Alex stood up as he sat with Jace who smiled at Draco who sat with Luna while he pulled her towards
himself.
