Eren.

I moved forward and stared defiantly into her visor; her icy cold eyes staring back at me. I moved closer to her and everyone around stretched out their swords; silver swords, and pointed them at me.

My lips curled up into a smirk when the lady standing before me raised up her hands to stop them from attacking me. Of course, she didn't want to risk sparking a war with the General.

"You can order them to kill me if you want to. You have way more things to lose than I do," I threatened even though I was the one in a vulnerable state now.

"I have nothing to do with you, so go!" the Luna of the Blue Lunar pack ordered, but I ignored her.

"But I do. You have something that belongs to the General; to the Feurkahur Coven." I said and gave her a blood shot stare.

"The Serum X belongs to the Blue Lunar pack and not to the general," the Luna retorted and I saw her wolf's eyes flash for a split second before disappearing.

"Luna Eva, I'll advice that you watch how you speak and talk with respect." I seethed and moved even closer to her.

Our faces were now only breaths away from each other.

The Luna remained adamant and blatantly refused, "No!"

I stared blankly at her. Is she fucking kidding me? She's lucky I'm in haste. I have to attend a Gala in 10 minutes. I and other top staffs were to represent Star Limited at the Gala.

"Leave!" Her voice thickened and I stepped backward, not out of fear, but I was impressed.

I didn't know a female leader could be so confrontational and bold.

"Alright, I said and turned around to go, "I will go as you wish, but I'll be back to claim what rightfully belongs to the Feurkahur Coven." I warned her of my next visit.

I won't be so gentle next time and I hoped she got the message.

My wings immediately sprouted as I got out, and I leaped into the air. My perfectly streamlined body and wings slashed through the air as I flew back to my house.

To avoid attention from curious humans, I flew faster as I neared my house, so that I appeared only as a blur and blend with the air.

I landed on the roof of my house and walked down the stairs into the building.

I took a quick shower and got dressed before driving to the venue of the Gala, a VIP hall in Manhattan.

I got there at exactly 6pm and I walked into the hall. I didn't really have much to do as I was there to supervise the Star team as managing director of Star Limited. The CEO was away on a business trip, so, I was here to represent him too.

I was directed to where I was to seat and the Gala soon commenced. Barely one minute had passed when the CEO of Mendez Corporation, a lady in her mid twenties walked towards my direction and sat next to me.

I immediately felt sick from within. I felt a great heat that threatened to burn me up from the inside and my head began to ache. I looked sideways at the lady and she also looked really uncomfortable.

As if we both planned it, we stood up together and headed separate directions. I panted heavily as I ran into the men's room.

I opened the tap and I let water run into my open palms before splashing it on my face. I immediately felt relieved and I let out a loud sigh.

After drying my face, I walked back into the hall and took my seat. The lady also arrived shortly after and took her seat. Just like before, I began to feel the pain all over again. This time, it was worse.

I held my stomach in pain while still trying not to get noticed. I suddenly began to grow suspicious of Luna Eva. Had she somehow poisoned me? Was she pretending all along?

I didn't want to stand up the second time to avoid unnecessary attention, so I tried to endure the feeling, but when it became unbearable, I decided to stand up.

She also attempted to stand up and our bodies came in contact with each other. That instant, I felt my blood curdle and electricity ran through my veins. I finally realized what was happening, and at the same time, we faced each other.

She was beloved. My Mate.

Then, the pain and feeling of sickness disappeared and I abandoned the idea of leaving. The Gala finally came to a successful end and it was time for the dance.

"Where's Mr Lewis?" She asked and I faced her. Her beauty was stunning and I couldn't help but stare. On the other hand, she didn't seem dazed by my vampire beauty, unlike other ladies. I often catch even men and old women gawking and drooling over me.

"Hello?" She snapped me out of my thought and I quickly replied, "He's away on an important business trip."

I smiled and stretched out my hands towards her.

"Do you mind a dance with me?" I asked.

"No, I don't." She received my hands and I smirked when I noticed her regret the way she sounded desperate. We walked to the dance floor and I wrapped my right arm around her waist, placing my other arm on her shoulder.

"Why can't I determine the race you belong to?" I asked as we waltzed slowly to the solemn music, "you're supposed to be a vampire, aren't you?" I knew the only way she could be my beloved was if she was a vampire, but I can't smell vampire blood in her. I can't smell any other blood too.

"Let's just say I'm special," she replied with a smile I noticed was fake. She was trying to avoid giving me a direct and honest answer.

I cursed within myself when she was called to attend to something and the dance had to end.

"See you later," She said and walked away. I felt the man in me itch as she teased me seductively by looking over her shoulder gracefully and wink at me.

Damn!

I also decided to leave already, but then I began to feel a burning pain on my right wrist.

I pulled off the sleeve of my suit and looked at the initiation tattoo on my hand glow in a bright red color.

Oh no! It can't be! She can't be the one!
