Chereads / Mine / Chapter 2 - How It All Began

Chapter 2 - How It All Began

Two years ago...

Kris Mackwood

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, the sun rays were reflected by a large glass building which held the nameplate that read 'Wuhan International Airport'. Twenty-year-old Kris just stepped out of the building while carrying his luggage. He was waiting for his best friend Tyler and Tyler's boyfriend Liu Wei to pick him up. He left out a heavy sigh and took his phone out from his jacket pocket. It has already been twenty minutes from the moment he landed, but there was still no sign of his friend. He had already called Tyler, but he did not answer Kris's call. Cursing himself for believing that Tyler will leave a hot make-out session with his boyfriend just to pick him up, he turned around to call a taxi.

Just as he was about to turn, the sweet smell of mint chocolate swept through his nostrils. It was truly intoxicating that Kris thought he might be drugged on the spot by the sweet smell. As a pureblood vampire, his senses have always been high, but he had never come across any smell like this which could assault his brain and make him lose his self-control.

Out of instinct, he turned his head to the side where the intoxicating smell was coming, planning to find the source. He was beyond surprised when he was met with a pair of golden-brown eyes, which looked like they were piercing through his entire being. That pair of eyes belonged to a tall, lean man with an unruly, short black hair who was dressed in a pair of black ripped jeans that hung low on his slim waist, a white cotton shirt which hugged his well-built upper body, a pair of black leather boots and a black leather jacket that hung on his wide shoulders. He did not need to look twice to understand that the person in front of him was an alpha wolf.

To his own surprise, he noticed that the golden-eyed man was also checking him out from head to toe the same way he was checking him. Before he could form words out of his thoughts he was roughly tugged from his side.

"Oi, Kris, I guess my friend from old times changed. Huh, Now as soon as he sees a hot wolf, he forgets about his childhood friend."

Tyler's words brought him back to earth and he turned to the side where the voice came. His eyes were met with his best friend who he had been cursing a while ago and his friends' boyfriend. The look of curiosity and surprise on his face was replaced with a big smile when he hugged his best friend.

"Of course, not Ty. Anywhere anytime you are my priority."

Kris said while crushing his best friend in a bear hug. He released the hug and introduced himself to the timid looking boy with big grey eyes, who was standing next to Tyler.

"Hello, my name is Kris. Pleased to meet you. You must be Liu Wei that Ty has been blabbing about all the time until I decide to come and meet you."

He said. The boy looked rather uncomfortable with his introduction, but gathered up his courage and said,

"I truly am sorry Kris, if you had to fly all the way to China just to meet me."

Kris's eyes expanded from this unexpected answer. He just wanted to tease his best friend's lover, not make him feel guilty. So, to make the boy understand his true intention he started to explain,

"Wei, I am sorry if you became uncomfortable, what I intended to mean was-"

Before he could finish his sentence Tyler interrupted him.

"He was just teasing you; you dummy. Don't be serious all the time."

Tyler said lovingly to his boyfriend and turned Kris's side before he scolded him saying,

"Don't tease him, Kris, I told you he is a pure soul unlike a corrupted soul like you."

Even though Kris knew his friend was just teasing, he thought to take advantage of the situation and said,

"Oh, Ty I never thought that as soon as you found your mate you would discard me as an old coin."

Just as he expected Wei replied,

"Ty, it is not good to give less attention to friends who you have spent most of your life with, just because you found love."

Tyler angrily replied,

"You dummy, don't you understand that he is just teasing you?"

Kris laughed loudly at the scene playing in front of his eyes and picked up his luggage which he dropped to the floor before he hugged Tyler. He suddenly remembered the golden-eyed guy and scanned the area to look for him, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Come on Kris, we parked our car at the airport parking lot. Its this way."

Tyler said, and Kris followed behind him and Wei, watching how Tyler tried to protect Wei even from the blowing wind. He wished he could also find his mate at this young age and wished that his mate will also be possessive and protective of him as Tyler is with Wei.

But unknown to him a pair of violet-red eyes were staring intently at him from a faraway corner of the parking lot.

Wang Lan

The evening sun shined brightly in the sky. It has already been twenty minutes after the fight landed but still, there was no sign of his best friend Luo Ming, who was supposed to walk out of the arrivals' gate bloody twenty minutes ago. Lan had recently started to work under his father in their company 'Wang Enterprises', so he needed a trustworthy person to work for him as his secretary and the first person that came to his mind was his childhood best friend Ming who had moved to Canada for further studies.

After hours of persuasion through hour-long phone calls and video calls, he was finally able to persuade him to come back to China to work with him. After going through all that, after his flight landed he was nowhere to be found. Lan was beyond rage.

He shoved his hand into his jean pocket and fished out his mobile phone, as he was going to dial Ming again, suddenly a sweet smell of vanilla started to assault his nostrils. Suddenly he felt his inner vampire awakening. It had never happened before as his inner vampire was too weak because his mother was a turned vampire. Lan was a hybrid born from a high alpha wolf and a common vampire. As his vampire was too weak he had never had the urge to drink blood before. Until now. He felt his throat burning, salvia gathered inside his mouth. He wanted to taste this sweet vanilla inside his mouth.

Determined to find the source of the sweet smell he looked around until he was met with a pair of sharp jet-black eyes. The beholder of the eyes was a tall, lean man. His skin was milky white and the aura around him was enough to understand that he was a pureblood vampire. His bit long hair was tied into a small ponytail, he was dressed in navy blue ripped jeans which hung on his slim waist, a white plain t-shirt which was hugging his body perfectly showing all the curves, a blue denim jacket and a pair of white Allstar converse. He had long lashes, cherry lips, and a sharp nose. The first feeling Lan got as he saw the other was that those cherry lips would taste wonderful.

Ashamed of his own thoughts he was about to turn the other way when he noticed that the cherry lipped guy was also checking him out the same way he did a while before. A small smile spread across Lan's lips as he thought of being checked out by this hot guy, which meant that he was also attracted to him. He was about to open his mouth, but a grumpy looking guy dressed in black called out to 'his angel'. Yeah, he had already given a pet name for the hot guy,' his angel' a cute hot name for a cute hot guy he thought.

He watched intently as his angel and the black guy hugged each other. Something he had never expected stirred in his heart, 'jealousy'. As he watched the grumpy hugging his angel back, his heart screamed, 'let go, he is mine'. He was so deep in his thoughts he did not even notice until Ming walked to him. He broke out of his trance and greeted Ming with a bone-crushing hug.

"Ming, where were you? I looked for you for twenty minutes".

Lan said. Ming looked at him angrily and said,

"Oh really now, do I seem like a sexy pureblood vampire to you, huh???"

Lan awkwardly smiled at his best friend's outburst and decided to coax him before going to his car.

"Come now fat cat, I was checking him out because you were late. If you were here I would not spare a glance to anyone."

Lan said and smiled cheekily. He grabbed Ming's bags and started to walk towards the parking lot where he parked his car. Before leaving he spared another rather long glance at his angel. He was laughing now; the sound of his laugh was like honey to Lan's ears. 'Sweet' thinking to himself he made his way to the parking lot with Ming.

As he was about to open his car door he saw his angel getting on to a car with grumpy and a timid looking guy. He shook his head unable to comprehend his own feelings and got to the car to drive Ming to the house where they will be living together.
