Recap: Agastya and Yashvi share some intimate moment and he ask her to return with him to his kingdom.

**********************

Yashvi gulped down in fear as Agastya's words echoed in her ears. Her heart thudded against her rib cage, ready to leap out. Agastya gently held her hand, kissing her knuckles and then the tips of her fingers one by one.

"You aren't scared of me because you are my queen, Yashvi," he whispered softly, his gaze intense. "The king orders everyone, but the queen is the only one who orders the king. You have all rights over me, and I would oblige without hesitation."

Yashvi's tension eased instantly. She averted her eyes from him and, yanking her hand free, began filling a plate with food. "Does that mean I get to decide in royal matters, considering I'll be queen of your kingdom?" she asked, her voice steady.

Agastya smiled. "You will have control over certain things, and for other matters, we'll discuss with the court members before making decisions. I'll explain your powers in the royal palace when you're ready for it."

Yashvi's curiosity grew. "What if someone doesn't follow my orders?" she inquired.

Agastya's expression turned serious. "You can punish them. Just like I have Rakshan as my second in command, you'll have someone to execute your orders. I'll help you choose your courtiers, and you'll also have a lady-in-waiting. She will handle all your personal and official duties."

"Who will that be?" Yashvi asked, intrigued.

"I'll let you talk to Aashi. She'll introduce you to trustworthy women who could be your lady-in-waiting. Every royal woman has one,  even Aashi does too," Agastya explained.

Yashvi chuckled softly. "It sounds kind of funny and intriguing at the same time. All these powers and royal responsibilities won't chase away the fear in me, though."

Agastya's voice softened. "I'll be with you, replacing that fear with my love."

Yashvi shot him a playful look. "Not again, please. Let me fill my tummy first. Aashi said vampires are monster in bed, and I'm sure you've saved a lot of stamina to unleash on me, which I'm not ready for yet."

Without warning, Agastya pulled her onto his lap, taking the plate from her hands. He started feeding her. "I can wait until you're completely ready. But that doesn't mean we can't do things within limits, like we did a while ago. It won't be too long before you'll want to pounce on me, and we'll be making love often."

Yashvi's cheeks turned crimson. "So, the things about sex I read in that book... they're real?" she asked hesitantly.

Agastya chuckled. "What you read was just the beginning. I'll show you much more of what it means to make love."

Yashvi gulped and instinctively pressed her thighs together, feeling a rush of heat. She saw Agastya close his eyes, inhaling deeply. When he opened them again, his eyes twinkled with mischief, a smile playing on his lips.

"I can smell your arousal, baby. You smell the best," he teased.

Yashvi turned beet red, embarrassed, and tried to move away from him, but he wrapped his arms firmly around her waist. "Can he read my mind? she thought, horrified.

Agastya threw his head back and laughed, clearly hearing her internal monologue. Yashvi huffed, hitting him on the chest before climbing off his lap. "Agastya, I'm human. Why am I feeling this mate bond like you? I've never read about a human experiencing it in any story."

Agastya's face turned contemplative. "I don't know. I've tried to get answers, but all I was told is that we'll know more once we mate. There's a lot still unanswered, but everything will become clear after we mate."

Yashvi hesitated. "What if I don't come with you to your kingdom?" she asked, her voice quieter.

Agastya frowned slightly. "Let's not talk about that. Tell me, what should I do to convince you to join me?"

Yashvi shrugged, pulling her knees to her chest as she sat on the bed. Agastya moved closer, sitting opposite her, gently caressing her knees. "Do you trust me, love?" he asked softly.

Yashvi blinked at his question, her mind racing through all the years he had spent with her, showering her with love and patience. She couldn't deny the attraction or the vivid dreams she had about him. She couldn't deny that, deep down, she trusted him with her heart.

"I trust you, Agastya," she whispered. "I trust only you."

A satisfied smile crossed Agastya's face. "Then come with me. Be my woman and give me a chance to love you the way I've always wanted. I'll show the universe the lengths I'll go to protect and love my wife."

Yashvi's eyes widened. "Wife?"

Agastya nodded, his tone firm. "Yes. I want to marry you, just like humans do. We'll marry and have many children."

"Children?" Yashvi's voice trembled. "What will our children be?"

Agastya's eyes sparkled. "They could be human, but most likely, they'll be vampires and demons. Agas is not a different person, he is my demon residing in him and he will claim you too, and we both want children with you."

Yashvi shivered at the thought of his vampire and demon forms mating with her. Agastya sensed her fear and gently cupped her face, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead.

"You'll be scared until you see me as a vampire and Agas as a demon," he murmured. "But your fear will disappear once you feel only love for us."

Yashvi's lips trembled. "I... I love you, Agastya."

Agastya's gaze softened. "I know, baby. But that's not the 'I love you' I'm waiting to hear. There's love in your heart for me, and I want you to show it. Love me, baby. I've been waiting all these years just to love you and for you to love me back."

Yashvi hesitated before asking, "I don't have my mom and dad anymore... but what about yours? Will they accept me?"

Agastya's expression hardened slightly. "You'll meet them when we return to the kingdom. But as for their acceptance, don't expect anyone to agree with our union. You are mine, Yashvi. And I am yours."

Yashvi found herself lost in Agastya's eyes, eyes she had admired more and more lately. The red and yellow hues in them had become her favorite, and without realizing it, she threw her arms around his neck hugging him tightly and burying her face in the crook of his neck. Agastya felt her tears dampen his skin and began to caress her back gently.

"I'm scared," she whispered, her voice trembling, "but not with you. I don't know exactly what it is, but I'm scared."

Agastya held her closer. "Don't be, love. I'm with you, and together we'll be fine. I need you to be strong. Remember who you are , you are King Agastya's mate."

Yashvi nodded, pulling back from the hug. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and looked up at him. "I'll come with you, but I don't want to be left alone."

Agastya smiled reassuringly. "I will never leave you alone, baby. You know, with my demon powers, I can be in many places at once."

Yashvi hummed in acknowledgment, and Agastya hugged her again, a smile playing on his lips.

"When do we leave?" she asked, her voice steadying.

"I can teleport you to the palace instantly, whenever you're ready," Agastya replied.

"Okay I m ready but lets stay here for a week to enjoy this human life before we leave" Yashvi agreed, though a hint of nervousness crept into her voice. "But you'll let me leave the kingdom if I ever feel unsafe or if something happens that hurts me, right?"

Agastya nodded, leaning in to kiss her eyes gently. They spend a week in the cottage having a blissful life with all the kisses and cuddles.

A week later Yashvi let him know that she was ready and immediately started kissing her. yashvi closed her eyes losin herself into the kiss and when Yashvi opened her eyes again, they were in a grand, royal chamber. She gasped, looking around the magnificent room.

"Welcome to Blackgore, baby," Agastya said warmly. "This is our chamber. Take a look around, and we can change anything you wish."

Yashvi's mouth fell open in awe. "Agastya, this is... oh my, this is beautiful. I can't believe it! You really are a king," she said, laughing softly. "How big is this palace?"

Agastya chuckled. "I'll take you on a tour when you're ready to leave this chamber. Come, let me show you your closet."

He took her hand and led her inside the closet, where Yashvi stood, jaw dropped. Silks, satins, velvet cloaks, and intricate gowns filled the space, along with a separate wardrobe brimming with jewels and tiaras. Agastya walked over to the tiaras and picked up a diamond one, placing it carefully on Yashvi's head.

Turning her to face the mirror, he whispered, "I had this specially made for you. From the moment I met you, I've been arranging all of this, imagining you in these outfits... including the lingerie."

Agastya opened another door, revealing silky and lacy lingerie of various colors and designs. Yashvi turned a deep shade of red and quickly lowered her gaze. Agastya kissed the shell of her ear, amused by her cuteness.

Blushing, Yashvi pushed him away playfully and walked out of the closet with Agastya following her. She sat down on the couch, and Agastya laid his head in her lap. It felt strange but sweet, and butterflies fluttered in her stomach.

"I've imagined living with you in this chamber," Agastya said dreamily. "In my mind, I've seen our kids running around, looking for us."

Yashvi blinked, still processing everything. "How come no one noticed when I entered the palace?" she asked curiously.

"I've masked your scent," Agastya explained. "No one will know you're here until I let them. I need to meet my parents and inform them about you. Later, I'll announce your presence in the courtroom, and we'll have a ceremony to officially introduce you as queen."

Yashvi nodded, though worry flickered in her eyes. "Okay. I hope nothing goes wrong."

Agastya smiled. "Don't worry, love. I'll meet them now and get everything settled."

With a snap of his fingers, a clone of Agastya appeared before Yashvi. Startled, she shrieked and jumped from the couch.

"You better behave more human!" she scolded, still catching her breath. "I'm still not used to you being a vampire, and now you're acting like I'm born into this world, ready to accept everything."

Agastya vanished the clone instantly, pulling her into a hug. "I'm sorry, love. I won't do it again. But don't worry, I'll always be with you. You just need to think of me, call my name in your mind, and I'll be next to you instantly. Since this place is new to you, I'll stay until you're asleep before I leave. Now, go get changed into something comfortable."

Yashvi turned to leave but hesitated. She glanced back at him, her voice unsure. "You won't enter the closet in any form, visible or invisible, right?"

Agastya's face showed a brief flash of hurt, and Yashvi instantly regretted her words. She rushed back to him, hugging him tightly with her head resting on his chest. But unlike every other time, Agastya didn't return the embrace.

"I'm sorry," Yashvi whispered. "Please forgive me. I'm just overwhelmed by everything happening around me, and I'm not in the right state of mind. I know you'd never do that. Please, Your Highness, hug me back."

Agastya chuckled softly at her use of "Your Highness" and finally hugged her back, pulling her close. "I would never do anything against your will, love. Yes, I'm high on hormones the moment you kiss me, but I'll control myself, just like I've done all these years. You'll always have your privacy. But when the time comes, when you're ready, I can't promise restraint."

Yashvi blushed and kissed his cheek before rushing to the closet to change. When she returned, dressed in a silk shirt and pants, they cuddled on the bed. Agastya gently ran his fingers through her hair, lulling her into a peaceful sleep.

Once she was asleep, Agastya mind-linked Aashi, Rakshan, Rana, and his parents, requesting them to meet for dinner and an important discussion.
