Chereads / The ONE That Matters / Chapter 7 - Chapter Seven

Chapter 7 - Chapter Seven

I could feel the sun rays on my face and honestly i didn't want to wake up. Let's face it, why would i, it was the day that i was going to get beat up infront of a bunch of werewolves and there was a high chance that Andra was going to accidentally slip up and kill me. I had been practicing my self defence skills and even had the silver knife that Tan bought me for my birthday, i can remember how i complained that it was a lame present and now it was going to protect me against the most feared female warrior in the whole Royal guard.

"Baby, remember what i taught you ok?", Tan told me while kissing me on top of my head. I took a deep breath and entered the arena. "I think it's wise for you to give up right now before you embarrass him even more than you already are", she said with wicked voice making me tremble a bit but i was not going to back down. "Why? are you scared am going to beat your ass?", i teased. It was announced that the King and Queen had entered the arena. A flair was shot to the sky indicating that we were to start fighting for Tan.

It has been thirty minutes and i can't feel my leg and i think my jaw is broken, i keep hearing people shout at me to submit but there was no way in hell that i was going to do it. I kept running in circles so that i can buy myself more time to study her movements but am getting tired, i can feel my right leg giving up. I could hear her approaching me so i took out the silver powder and waited for her to approach me. What? I had to have back up, she had superpowers and everything what was i supposed to do? of course i accepted Jasper's last minute gift. She held me by the throat and just when she started squeezing me, i blew the particles on her face. She screamed in pain. "You little shit", she said shifting into her brown wolf and pinned me down, her claw marks digging in my shoulder and i swear i have never screamed so loud in my life. The pain was too much that i was starting to black out, i turned to the stands and watched a Tan struggle to break the silver chains that were burning him trying to reach me unsuccessfully, he was calling me, i wanted to tell him its ok but my lips couldn't move.

"Cute face, you are not leaving me, get up!", i could have sworn i heard his voice in my head and something told me to let go and i did. My hands started moving on their own accord, pushing the wolf's claws out of my shoulder, people were gasping and i was too. What was happening to me. I broke her leg that was in my shoulder while i watched my wound heal itself, it was like nothing happened. The wolf tried attacking me again only this time i was so quick that i dodged her and my hand went around her neck squeezing her, she struggled but couldn't get out of my hold, i was shocked when she tapped her leg on the ground and Roman told me to let her go. I was terrified because his voice was full of command but when i tried to remove my hand i couldn't, "Lola, let her go it's over", he was right infront of me now, was he like the flash or something? I pulled my hands this time and they actually moved, i was feeling more like myself. My eyes went to Tan then back to Roman as if asking for permission, when he nod his head, i took of running towards my mate, i reached him and pulled him towards me. He didn't move at first, it was as if he was sleeping then he started moving and placed his face in the crook of my neck. He broke the chains like they were just plastics, "How did you? you couldn't before, i saw you struggling", "It was the stupid Alpha command i couldn't break it", he said annoyingly with his eyes on Roman who was talking to one of the council members.

"Are you sure you are ok?", i asked Tan when we got home and he only replied with a nod. I went straight to the fridge and got my chocolate chip cookie ice cream with two spoons, i sat next to him giving him one spoon, he accepted and we ate the ice cream in silence, until the door was opened in full force, whoever it was we were sure that they thought they owned the place. "I can't believe you are able to possess a human and you didn't bother telling me", Roman said the moment he stood infront of us. "I don't know what you are talking about your Highness", Tan answered through this teeth. Roman chuckled and took a spoon joining us. "Am sorry Lola", he said to me, "It's ok Roman, you were doing your job". I was feeling tired suddenly so i told Roman good night and went to bed. As i was leaving i heard him tell Roman "No one will ever take her away from me, i will even fight you if i have to and today you better thank that witch because i was not going to stay behind and watch her kill my mate". "I know Tan but you have to be careful we don't want your Vampire friends to know who you really are", "They wont".

I was enjoying the hot water in the shower trying my level best to pretend like nothing happened today. I failed miserably and started crying, my tears getting mixed in the water. I was so distracted that i didn't hear him getting in the shower with me and starting to wash my body whispering sweet words to me. It felt good and made me feel better. Tan knew exactly what to do and how to make me feel better.
