Wang Lan
Just as his angel's fangs started to gaze at his neck he stiffened in surprise, but understanding that his angel was also having a hard time controlling his emotions just like him, and also was acting out of instinct instead of thinking straight, he relaxed. A normal person in his state would feel fear or anger, but what Lan felt at the moment was something utterly different from something a normal person would feel. As he understood his angel's intentions, a sense of relief started to fill his heart as he knew that purebloods would only lose control of their thirst for blood when it came to their mate's blood. As the fact that he could be the one destined to his angel digested in his mind, he turned his head to the side and gave better access of his neck to his 'could be mate'.
He shut his eyes tightly and waited for the pain to come as his angel sunk his fangs into his neck, as he had heard that a vampire bite would hurt the most to wolves. But the pain never came, instead, he heard the 'ping' of the elevator. He opened his eyes and looked straight at the elevator door, aligning his words to bark at anyone who dared to interrupt 'their' moment. But he was momentarily at the loss of words as he saw Ming walking out of the elevator holding a tray with three teacups.
Ming's eyes expanded seeing the scene in front of his eyes, he dropped the tray that he was holding and the tray landed on the floor with a loud crash, tea splattering on the white carpet on the floor making stains in weird patterns. The dealer who they were supposed to meet this evening and talk about the details of the property they were going to buy was on his best friend's lap, ready to sink his fangs into his best friend's neck. As if it was a totally normal situation his best friend had his arms snaked around the bloody vampire's waist and was turning his head to the side giving better access to his neck to the bloody vampire who was ready to drain him.
Without thinking twice Ming dashed towards Lan and grabbed the back collar of the blue jacket which their so-called property dealer was wearing. He was about to pull the damn vampire who dared to try to sink his bloody fangs into the next high alpha and throw him to the wall when he was suddenly pushed harshly to the floor by Lan as a low growl unintentionally escaped from his mouth. Lan wrapped his arms around his angel protectively and lowly growled again at Ming as if trying to tell Ming that 'you should keep your hands-off things that belong to me'. Then Lan loosened his hands around Kris as he felt that his angel was trying to get off from his lap.
Ming who was on the floor after being harshly pushed, felt his heart filling with sadness and anger. His best friend had pushed him away and protected someone that he had just met this evening. He felt sad to be treated this way. As he tried to take a better look at the man that his friend picked over him, he understood something, and that fact made a jolt of electricity to go down his spine. The man who was on Lan's lap was not a common vampire but a pureblood. Everyone knew that purebloods only lost control over their thirst for blood when it came to their mate's blood. As he thought back to the moment when he walked through the elevator, it did look like the fanger had indeed lost his self-control over his thirst over blood.
'Could it mean that Lan and this vampire are mates?' thinking about this Ming slowly got back on his feet. 'It could be true as he saw the way Lan tried to protect him' Ming thought again. Everybody was aware of how wolves were possessive of their mates. With all these questions running through his mind, he glanced towards Lan with a look that demanded answers to what just happened. But all he got as an answer was an apologetic smile from Lan.
Kris Mackwood
Kris watched the scene played in front of his eyes without any reaction as he was in a daze. When the elevator pinged, he had come back to his senses, before he could adjust to the situation he heard a loud crash as if glasswares were dropped to the floor. As he turned to the way where the loud crash was heard, he saw a young man around his age in a grey suit looking at him with expanded eyes. Before he knew it, that man's hand was grabbing the back collar of his jacket and as he was about to react to that harsh act, he felt two warm arms wrapping protectively around his body and a low growl escaped from the man beneath him. The man that grabbed his jacket was harshly pushed to the floor and another growl was heard from the same person which gave out the first growl.
He was feeling uncomfortable with the position he was currently in and tried to remove the arms wrapped around his body. As if the person beneath him sensed his movement the protective arms loosened a bit, but they did not let go of him. Taking the chance of being able to move he turned his head to take a close look at the person that had gone to extreme lengths just to protect him from a normal wolf. He was met with a pair of golden eyes, that had the ability to drive him out of his mind if he stared at them for more than a second.
He slowly got down from Lan's lap and straightened his suit. As he took account of the things that had happened since that day at the airport, he could only come up with one explanation that could explain all of them without any flaw. And that explanation was, 'the golden-eyed guy with the intoxicating mint chocolate smell was his mate'. It was the only explanation that was able to make sense of everything that happened. Getting an intoxicating smell from the alpha aura of the man in front of him, losing his self-control over his urge to feed on someone for the first time, feeling electric jolts down his spine as their hands touched each other, feeling secure when his arms are wrapped around him, all those could be explained. And Lan's behavior could also be explained with this answer, why Lan made him sit on his lap and buried his head in the crook of his neck, and also why he pushed and growled at the man that grabbed his jacket and tried to pull him away.
As the truth about them sunk into Kris, he looked at Lan and offered him a lovely smile. From the way, Lan returned his smile, Kris understood that Lan had also realized the truth about them. Kris was about to open his mouth, but as Lan was already one step ahead of him, Lan stretched his hand and grabbed Kris's hand and turned towards Kris. In this position, they were standing face to face and their hands were between them. Lan placed Kris's hand on top of his, pressing their palms together.
As soon as their palms pressed, a bright golden white light erupted from in between their palms and two sparks made their way to Lan and Kris. One of them went to the back Lan's left shoulder while the other made its way to the back Kris's left shoulder. As if they were in a deep trance, both instinctively bit their own forefingers and offered their blood to each other. They were already dreading to taste each other's blood so without hesitating for a second they took each other's hands and sucked them, as they were determined to make out most of the chance they got to taste each other before they mated in bed. Normally any vampire couple would feel the urge to drink their mate's blood only until they mated in bed, and after that happened, they would eventually start to feel each other's blood in their own bloodstream, and the urge to feed on it will subdue.
After they had finished drinking each other's blood the mark of triskelion appeared behind both of their left shoulders as they had done a blood ritual and made a blood packet with each other pronouncing the world that they belonged to each other. They smiled at one another and embraced each other. After they spent a few of very long minutes in each other's arms they started to remember the situation they were in, they had just met a few minutes ago and now they had already made a blood packet and announced the world that they were mates. As the reality started to kick into their system, they loosened their hug and looked at each other. Even though without any words spoken, both understood that they needed to have a long talk about the situation.
Luo Ming
Ming had the expression called 'astonishment' clearly written all over his face while watching the live show broadcasting in front of his eyes. As soon as he realized that the vampire on his friend's lap was a pureblood, he understood that these two were mates. But what he clearly did not understand was why they had to go as far as performing a blood ritual, it was not like someone will try to snatch away the next high alpha's mate or that this mate could not protect him himself, 'for the god's sake he is a pureblood fanger' he thought to himself. But there were still some unanswered questions as to why this pureblood is fated to be mates with a wolf, as no pureblood has ever had a fate like this before.
Having enough of the drama in front of him, he cleared his throat before he annoyingly said,
"Earth to the new mates."
As his words were heard, the couple who were busy looking into each other's eyes turned their heads and looked at him. His best friend had a proud smile stretched across his lips and the fanger was a blushing profoundly turning his whole being into a darker shade of pink.
"Sorry, if we made you uncomfortable."
The fanger said shuttering, trying to form words. The fanger then took a deep breath and collected himself before he said,
"Shall we talk Lan? I am sure there are a lot of things that we need to discuss the business and about us."
Lan nodded his head and replied,
"It's already late. How about we have that talk over dinner at our place, angel?"
Kris nodded his head, feeling happy about getting a chance to spend more time with the person he missed for the past week and for getting a chance to know his mint chocolate scented mate better. Ming who was listening to this conversation suddenly questioned,
"Our place??? Who is going to cook for the three of us???"
"Of course it is going to be you; fat cat. I and my angel are going to be busy having a long talk to know each other while you cook."
Yunlan answered annoyingly as if Ming had asked the most stupid question that could be asked in the current situation.
"You-"
Ming was about to curse Lan, but his friend had already started to walk towards the elevator dragging the fanger along with him.
