Chapter six
Zeeland
"Does she know?" Michael voice across my neck forced me to look away from screen.
"Does she know about what?" I asked slightly irritated for the disturbance.
"That she's your mate?" He responded and moved away from where he stood behind me. "Wouldn't it be nice if you had marked her already."
"Michael!!"
He raised both his hands up. "Sorry."
I turned back and resumed watching her eat. Even if I want to tell her, I can't, at least not yet. She's going to flare up at the mention of the mate word, the worst thing is she might reject me. The best thing now is to fool her with a contract marriage then make her fall for me naturally.
"You didn't actually call me to ask me about that, did you?"
"Of course not. Men from the inside said Jayden isn't relenting at all. He's being all over the place bribing the council of six."
I smiled coldly. "Really? Of course he wouldn't stop since he's already riding the car of greed."
"What will you do about him? It won't do you any good if he's crowned the king." Michael reasoned.
"Not until he has a true mate right and even though he finds one I must be present and also give my consent before he can sit on the throne. But don't you worry your fragile heart, I found my mate first."
"My heart isn't fragile and yes, you found your mate first but Zee, she's a hybrid. The council of six will hear nothing of it. You know how the werewolves hates the vampires, vice versa. And worse still, her werewolf side supercede her vampire side, she can't know you both are mates."
"Then do you want me to abandon my mate and go marry some random slut?" I fired at him.
He clamped his mouth shut on noticing my change of mood. "We should never have this discussion again." I said and walked out of the control room even as I can't help but feel he's right.

I walked straight inside the kitchen cum dining room. Serena flashed me a weird look and returned her attention back on the apple pie she's eating.
"You've been eating for long, aren't you tired?"
She scoffed. "You sound like someone who's been watching me eat."
"I don't do stuffs like that."
She nodded before drinking from her cup of juice. "Of course you don't."
Thirty minutes later and I dragged her out because she kept stuffing her stomach with mote. Don't get me wrong, it's not as if I don't want her to eat as much as she wants I just can't help being away from her. It kills me already that I can't do things to her body, it hurts so much that I can't mark her as mine yet so the best I can do is to keep her close to me at least to inhale her soothing scent.
"That isn't the way to my prison." She whined when I pressed a button on the elevator.
"Glad to know you remember the way." I mumbled and she said nothing more until I took her inside my room.
She tried to go out but I was quick to drag her back inside. "I shouldn't be here."
"Yes you should because you're my wife and it's only natural if couples stay together in a room. Imagine if an outsider hears my wife spends the night three floor below me, what would first come to the person's mind."
"An arranged marriage." She answered.
"Such a smart girl. Now be a good girl and go have a nice bath inside the bathroom."
She rushed inside the bathroom slamming the door loud behind her.
The door opened after not less than two hours. I raised my head up from my laptop, she first peeked out looking around the dimly lit up room. When her eyes finally landed on me, she quickly took her head back and shut the door.
I closed the laptop and tossed it on the bed then tiptoe, to the door. I opened it and closed it back to make it look like I was no longer in the room.
Almost immediately, the bathroom door opened and a rather shy Serena walked out. Before she could turn her head towards my direction, I already had her pinned to the wall.
She parted her lips but no words came out. My eyes moved away from her startled eyes down to her parted lips, it looked so tempting and I felt like it was inviting me to claim it. But instead of doing what my body wants so badly, I found myself asking. "Why did you suddenly go back inside when you saw I was in the room?"
I pressed her back on the wall. "Are you in any way ashamed of me?"
She shook her head. "I'm not. It's just...just that, I've never been half naked around a man before. No man has ever touched me the way you do neither have I kissed anyone before." I immediately let go of her and took at least three steps away from her.
"So please don't do to me things that will make me fall in love with you. I have to protect myself at least, remember you said the day I fall in love with you is the day I would breath my last."
She wrapped her hand tight across her chest and moved past me, I turned round and gripped her wrist dragging her to my chest. At her revelation, I felt like I should just say the whole contract shit is just to keep her and she's my mate but I swallowed the thoughts down hugging her more tight.
I'm satisfied with the mere knowledge that's she's pure and innocent. There and then, I swore to love her for the rest of my life as long as I still breathe In air.
"Why do I keep getting the urge to sink my fangs deep inside your neck?" She mumbled against my neck.
"Because you're... you've not drank blood since the last nibble you had from Michael." I said. She mouthed an 'oh' before pulling away from the embrace.
"Do you have some kind of blood bank around here or something or maybe some blood stored in the refrigerator?"
"Why do you want to drink stored up blood? You sure are a great from-the-source drinker."
"What's that supposed to mean?" She asked confusion all over her face.
"When I saw you sucking from Michael, you didn't look like a rookie."
"If that's how you see it." She slumped on the bed.
"Since we are still on the topic, how did you learn how to feed?"
She exhaled sharply and shut her eyes. "It wasn't hard since I first discovered my werewolf side and that's it. The only thing is I first rub on the intended spot to reduce the pain a bit. Why are you asking though?"
"Because I want to help so I want to first know if I'm on the safe side or not. I wouldn't want to risk losing my life while I'm asleep."
"It's not like I'm going to do it. Just get me blood from where you normally keep them for yourself and your men. Or you want to tell me you guys don't drink blood?"
Ignoring her sarcasm I sat down beside her on the bed. "It's your choice to make sweetie. You won't have to drink blood from now till morning if only you are as old as I am but considering a baby vampire like you, you would suck me dry later on."
She snorted. "It's not like I'm a blood sucking animal."
"The irony is way too obvious to ignore."
She sat up on the bed. "So what now, I should really do it?"
I nodded then smiled. "That's only if you want to do it."
"I don't want to do it but I have to do it." She murmured. I pulled at the button of my shirt unbuttoning two to give her easy access to my neck. She tightened the rope holding her bathrobe around her body before advancing forward.
At first I wanted to allow her do things her way but suddenly changed my mind. I swiftly raised her up amidst her whine. "You should be very comfortable." I whispered into her ears.
Her cold hand on my bare skin made me jerk a little, she inched her head down to my neck giving it a light kiss. This little action made me loose whatever sense of reasoning I have left as my hand moved to her back down to the rope she firmly secured to hold still her robe.
In one swift move, I loosened the annoying thing. Right before she sank in her teeth, I palmed her right breast giving it a soft squeeze, she sank in her teeth a little bit deeper.
I gave her breast a hard squeeze to distract myself from sinking my teeth into her neck. The moment she raised up her head, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I held her by the robe and pulled her forward slamming my lips on her mouth.
As I'd imagined, her lips were soft and sweet. I licked off every single bit of my blood I her mouth with my tongue. She moaned softly In my mouth which only fueled me as I delved deeper inside her mouth.
Her hand went up to my neck right on the spot where she bit, she started moving her finger slowly around it in circles as I kissed the hell out of her.
I pulled away and lowered my head down taking in her breast into my mouth. Oh good heavens, lifting my other free hand, I dragged down the other side of her robe. I covered her breast with her hand and left it there as I continued to suck on her nipple biting it at intervals.
She moaned loudly when I dragged both her nipples. Before I could have the opportunity to resume sucking on them, she pushed me on the bed following me down immediately.
She kissed me on the chest through my shirt, slowly and gently without looking my face she kissed me down to my now visible erection. She chuckled a little before she starts to unbuckle my pants.
I stopped her from fully bringing out my length even though my whole body wants her to continue touching me. I sat up and start to re buckle my pants.
She flashed me a surprised look that I'm rejecting to get sucked, well even I myself, I'm a bit surprised by what I'm doing but it's the best I can do now. I don't want it to look like I took advantage of her, I want her to willingly give herself to me.
Pointing to the packaged clothes at the top side of the bed."Change your clothing." I said and tried to turn around to give her some privacy.
But she isn't hearing any of it. "I want you." She said innocently. I want you to claim me Zeeland, fuck me like you've never done to anyone before." She said and before I can pin all the words she said together, her lips was already fused with mine.
Having little or no choice, I opened up and allowed her kissed me. Unlike the first kiss, this one was full of hunger and urgency. I followed with her pace kissing her fast and fierce.
Her hand moved down to my length, she rubbed on it then gave it a little squeeze. I groaned against her lips.
She pulled away from the kiss and quickly unbuckle my pants. Without wasting anytime, she took me into her mouth. Oh good heavens, I gripped the bedspread as she started moving her mouth up and down my dick.
I fisted her hair and urged her down, she gagged a little bit but still continued moving her mouth up and down licking me like her own lollipop.
I was just at the verge of spilling my cum inside her mouth when a knock came on the door startling the both of us.
