Chapter 17

A few hours later. Everybody was gathered in the conference room for the meeting, everybody but Gwen. Vince was certainly not going to allow them to near his mate anytime soon and if he had his way, he would teleport her back to his mansion, what made him think that she was safe wherever he is. She was attacked while he was in the house and he knew that he would never forgive himself for that for as long as he lives. He also knew that the reason why he mainly kept Gwen away from the meeting was because he wanted to protect her. There are people who were not happy with the fact that he had seen his mate. If the expression of the wolves were anything to go by, it meant that none of them was happy with the fact that he was mated and he refuse to make green stay in their presence and just for extra measure he shielded the door. If anybody tried to enter the room from outside, his mental defense will alert him and he will deal with the person.

" why isn't your mate here. " Cole asked with raised eyebrows brows when he sat down alone and it was clear that no other person was going to join them.

" because she needs to rest. " Vince said stiffly.

" and here, I thought that you will share your blood with her making her faster and stronger. " Carson said and when Vince glared at him. He knew that he was still on thin ice with the primordials for attacking one of theirs so Carson averted his gaze. There was no reason to unnecessarily rile up the primordials when he knew that he was the one at fault.

" believe me when I say that she is incredibly fast and strong for her age. " Vince bit out and the rest races took that as a warning that Vincent temper was going low concerning the questions they were asking about his mate.

Still Cole couldn't help himself, he had to know more about her. When he was small, a seer had told him that he was going to wait a long time before his sees his mate and when he do see her that metal birds will always be seen in the sky and the Vampire ruler mate will be just like his. His friends that were close to him, knew of this and that was why they were surprised. Apparently he will soon see his mate, he had gotten tired of waiting after all.

He thought that the real pointer to that prophesy will be the metal birds but that has been in existence for more than fifty years. The prophesy was told when he was in his twenties, he had just newly gained his wolf and and that has been more than three hundred years ago, not too much for a vampire but for a werewolf, it is a lot, seeing that werewolves rarely live pass two hundred since they always end up dying a violent death.

Then when he was young, there was hardly a chance of the existence of a plane but as the years went by, he knew that the seer was right. When the planes came into existence he thought that he was going to see his mate soon but instead he had to wait for years and now, the Vince had seen his mate. Of course he won't tell the story to anybody, not yet but he was mightily interested he knowing more about Vince mate. Although he already knew that Vince would not like that. He had to do it in secret though because the sorcerers had already attached Jed her and that had put Vincent on edge and he will certainly be there until he can go home.

" how old is she. " Cole asked as the primordials turned to glare at him. All of them.

" why do you want to know. " Jessica asked with narrow eyes

" because she is the first mate of any of the leader of the supernatural world. I want to know more about her because she might be the key for the rest of us to see our own mates. " Cole said choosing his words carefully, not a lie but also not the entire truth. He didn't tell them that his mate being seen was totally based on Vince mate.

Vince couldn't agree with that logic, he knew how staying without a mate can make some people to just exist. He had been like that before he saw Gwen, he also knew that the stress of ruling make it twice as worst than it normally is for a normal supernatural. He could also tell that Cole was very much interested in the topic, he suspected because Cole was already strung up as tight as he can be while trying to keep himself from going feral which must be hard for him. Although he understood, he nodded grudgingly. " fine, she is just a year old as a vampire. "

" what. "various voices rang out around the table in reply to the news that Vince told them.

" that is very young. " Carson said

" you are practically robbing the cradle. " Eloise jokes.

" your input was never required. " Jessica said as she leaned inwards in the table and bared her teeth at Eloise who had enough sense to back down. The vampires came here in good faith and that she discovered that it was long gone ever since they played a part at scaring Gwen.

" what of her strength, she is very powerful? " Carson asked ignoring Eloise and Jessica little scene.

Vince stiffens as his eyes flash black. " I am sorry but those things are personal and I need to keep it so in case she is danger and need to protect the herself and I don't trust a lot of supernatural sitting on this table with her"

" it is understandable after all you brought her here and I heard that it hasn't been safe for her. " Cole said with a smile even as he gritted his teeth, he didn't want Vince leave quickly and to take his mate along with him.

Carson glared at Cole who stares back unflinching and when Carson dropped his gaze, Cole smiled in triumph at Carson reaction.

" we should get down to business. " Jessica said as she looks at the werewloves and then the sorcerers in a way that was meant to keep orders.

" we should. " others agreed reclunctly as they settled down and focused in the main agenda of meeting.
