Chapter 6 - CLAIMING HIS MATE

She felt lightheaded and restless as she watched the werewolves put the final torches for the feast . Everything was happening so fast,so many scents she couldn't decipher and the fact that she heard whatever went on an whatever was said within 300km of her left her feeling confused.Then there was her anxiety; about whether she really had the curse or if it was just a coincidence.She had lied when Jake had asked about the blue strand in her hair.anvtat I itself was another thing; she was excited about getting married to him ,God knows how much she had fantasized about that but she felt there was something missing;she couldn't place it but it was there and the fact that she couldn't tell him about her fright was unsettling.And then she had fully remembered what happened last night and she had panicked because knowing her foster family they would track her down and probably murder her for what happened to Sylvia but Jake was too busy to listen to her so she sought the kind looking werewolf that passed her;"I'm sorry.....Talia is it?.....I couldn't help but wonder where this is .... because for what I remember..I ran into the woods but woke up here....so....?"" Ohhhhh.This is No man's land."" Like the city's creepy and isolated forest No man's land....?but the building?...."Sh asked sheepishly and in wonder which made Talia laugh ."Don't look so surprised, Luna.....it's called the No man's land because no human would dare enter "the creepy and isolated forest " as you put it so we supernaturals made it our home and turned it to this ....safe from prying eyes."" Ohhhh it's really beautiful."Well at least she was safe from Sylvia then she had a brainwave."Do you know of anything about a supremo?"Talia immediately got fidgety, shooting we quick eye glances around."I plead your pardon, Luna but I can't answer your question."" It's fine you can go."Talia quickly walked away and heard Jake shout to her that it was time to dress up. When the maids were through with making her up,she couldn't believe what she had turned into.The dress was a floor length blue feathery strapless gown that hugged her slender body.Her whole back was only covered by her hair and the shoes...they were all testament of Jake's affluence and she couldn't believe she'd soon be marrying into it not the sh was materialistic but this sort of wealth was a comfort for someone who had been abused her whole life.She kept gushing and thanking her maids until they blushed.She loved it when she was called to the stage by the MC and everyone gasped .She loved even more the look on Jake's face and in his eyes,he was equally looking good .He held her arms with a look of disbelief and awe as he drew her into his arms for the opening dance ."Blessed Moon goddess.....you're breath taking."He complimented in her ear and she whispered back;"I could say the same for you." She felt nervous an shy about been the center of attention ;never in her life had she been looked up to like this..and buried her head in his shoulder and clung for safety to the only person she knew in this new world of supernaturals. Two minutes into the dance and her heart began to race again and the blood rushed in her ears so much she began to gasp and cough.The music stopped as Jake bent to her in concern and she shook her head and beat at her chest as an answer as her eyes frantically surveyed the room desperately looking for something or someone and he smiled:"It's normal.....you're heart's racing for me...yoll be ok in a minute"" No it's not."She said as her eyes landed on the leader of the entourage that just entered the royal hall.He was hastily walking towards the stage .....towards her.Enzo climbed the stage and touched her shoulder;"Mate...."______________________________________________Sandrino paced the room like a cage animal unsure whether to gatecrash the feast or not when Fizzo appeared breathless:"Beloved supremo, Dimitri said I should inform you that she's Enzo's mate too and they are laying claims on her " " Rally the shadow guards.... we're going to claim my mate"._____________________________________________"According to the supernatural mate law:if a supernatural has more than one mate,she spends 40 days with the one who found her first and another forty days with the one who found her last and on the 100th day,she makes a choice."Jake snarled,his claws bared and his eyes were now gold.he hd entered the werewolf threatened mode.Aurealis never seen him like this , fighting over her but she felt warm about it.All sh managed to grasp was that in a layman's terms, she had two husbands and she was to make a choice after 100 days with both of them.Well ,the chances of he spending the rest of her life witha complete stranger was a snowball's chance in hell as far as she was concerned.Enzo on his own refused to back down.He clutched the heretic mystical staff and his beautiful tri color eyes turned totally white."Don't you think I know that, Alpha Jake?I just claimed her and besides the law also said that the supernatural in question also has the right to pick who she would spend the first 40 days with ..."He grated and they went toe to toe." And you think she'll pick you over me ?"" What? already getting insecure?"She knew the were just being territorial over her but she couldn't bear them fighting because of her .And before she could say anything, she caught the sweetest scent she had ever perceived in her life and her heart started beating so hard she fell on her knees gasping ."Oh God ,not another mate"She prayed and a sharp pain went through her right arm making her yelp.Her two mates came around her in seconds , fighting to outdo each other in their quest to know if she was alright but her eyes were trained at the doors .He walked in alone ;no guards,no entourage and everyone except the her mates knelt on one knee ."His Imperial Majesty!!!!!"Everyone in the room shouted but she scarcely heard them.She felt her heartbeat almost stop at the most handsome man that ever walked the earth in black loafers,black pants and a black long sleeved silk shirt left unbuttoned to showcase a solid gold chain.He looked at her and their eyes locked .She just couldn't take her eyes off him as he walked majestically towards her .She even forgot to breathe as she stared into those beautiful bottomless pltch black eyes.She hit reality when he walked up to her and yanked her viciously away from Enzo and Jake towards him."What are you doing, Supremo?"Enzo,the more audacious of the two asked and Sandrino turned on him ,his eyes red:"Taking back what's mine ."
