The King's Human mate

Chris P O V He didn't want to go but it was one of his human duties as he was not just a king but also the C.E.O of Barchad. He never really took the company serious as he has capable workers to run it. But today was different as he has to go to the company for a charity event his company was hosting for artists and his presence was needed. He already had a lot to deal with with his kind ( werewolf and lycans) and they weren't making it easy for him with the ongoing war with the moon pack and radar pack. But he had promised himself today was going to be just about the company as he had lycan diplomats settling the disputes. He picked up a Gucci blue suit and a black shoe to go with it. He was going to relax and enjoy today's event. He had just gotten to the event but was still in his limo when his eyes caught the most beautiful and enchanting smile in the whole world. His beast kept leaping with joy and bulging him to jump out and grab her.He growl lowly which he knew only beasts like him and werewolf could hear it with their heightened hearing but she turned hearing it looking unsure. But she was a human, he could smell that. "who is she" he said. Laura POV She had been preparing for this art charity exhibition for three months and she just knew this evening was going to be her moment. "look at you, feeling so hyped" Anna her flat mate and also her best friend said laughing at her as she tries all outfits in her closet. Anna was everything she had as a family, they had attended the same high school and they both were in the same college. If it wasn't for Anna she wouldn't have even been to college. Anna's parent had even paid for her her college fees as she(Laura) was an orphan. Well she never really knew her family or were she came from. But meeting Anna made her life really better. "You know how I have been preparing for this moment, I have to look my best" she answered feeling confused but happy. She had tried everything in her closet not feeling sure, she didn't want to look like a loser at the exhibition, this was a really big event and she wasn't going to look cheap on such. She wasn't really buoyant with cash as she had spent almost all her savings on her art instruments. Drawn into the memory of her getting this opportunity. Mr Brad, he was a strict man and a lecturer in her school. He had a good taste for real art and she was surprised when he asked her to exhibit her own art among influential artists. "Miss Laura can I have a minute of your time" Mr Brad asked with a straight face."Yes sir?" she answered unsure of what he wanted. He never ask to see anyone before so what had she done to deserve him talking to her. "A charity art exhibition is coming up in a few months at Barchad company and I want your arts to be displayed" he started. "you will have to present 10 of your works there as the entry slots is only 5" he added handing me a pamphlet and an envelope. Her eyes widened seeing the artists on the pamphlet, "oh my goodness" she whispered but she was certain Mr Brad heard her as he looked at her with a smile which vanished immediately. Her name was already on the pamphlet, "but sir, this is a very big event and am still a student" she tried protesting as she felt this was way bigger than her. "So"? was the only thing he said. He sighed,"Laura Hugh, you have great potentials and this is an opportunity to show the world what a great artist you are" he said softly to her. "you have three months to prepare your arts" he added with his usual voice and dismissed her with his hands. He was certainly an unusual man, she thought. He believed in her and that was enough boost for her to really work hard for this exhibition. She had gotten to her flat just meet Anna on the couch with a strange good looking boy making out. Anna was her best friend and family but she had a wild s****l part about her. And any time she complained about it,Anna always had an excuse of trying to find the right one. "Eww, do it in your room please" Laura said turning her eyes away from them. Anna giggled, "okay dude fun's over, mamas back" she said as she handed a shirt to the guy which Laura presumed was his. After he left, Anna gave her a puppy eyes making her laugh. "ohhh okay, besides it's not the first time" she said with a playful smile. "Am still looking for the right now" she replied with a lazy smile looking around for something. "Well I pray you find him before you taste all the guys in campus!" she answered taking a seat at the kitchen, "then they are all losers" Anna said putting on her blouse as she found it under the couch. "Well I have big news" she said lowly, Anna sharply turned to her like a lioness ready to pounce on whatsoever. That was one of the things she admired about Anna, she was popular but also ready to fight anyone who tried to hurt her in any way. From the beginning of there friendship Anna had always been there for her and was more like a big sister to her when it came to defending as she was two years older than her. "What is it Laura?" she asked scanning her body like she missed something. She handed her the pamphlet and envelope, Anna read through it and looked at questioning "I don't understand?". "I don't think am good enough for this, look at the people whose arts work will be there" pointing on the names on the pamphlet. "You are as good as they are" Anna replied bringing her to seat on an arm chair."How did you get it?" she asked, "Mr Brad gave it to me" she answered. "Can't you see that this is the kind of breakthrough you have been looking for? you have so much talent and potentials like this artist or even more than them and am not saying it because you are my friend but because you are. And I think Mr Brad also thinks the same way, that's why he gave you" handing her back the pamphlet envelope. "And don't worry, I will be here with you every step" she added with a smile trying to hug. "I think you should take a shower first before any hugging" Laura said jumping out of the arm chair laughing. "Yeah and probably clean that couch to" running to catch her in a hug. "Don't you!!!! no no no no" Laura happily raced away. Working on her art had been a joyful thing. But she kept having this dreams and imaginations. "What's that?" Anna asked with shock written all over her face as she saw the painting. "I have been having this dreams and I decided to put it in painting" not minding her best friend's look. "You sure that's a dream because it sure looks like you've seen one" eyeing the art work. Corking a brow at Anna's statement but decided not to push the conversation. Anna watched her work on the painting like it was the first time she was seeing her paint. "Laura, snap out of it" Anna said pulling her away from the closet. "I knew how busy you were so I took it to myself to get you a dress for the occasion and you know I got taste" winking at her. "You the best" hugging Anna. "Don't go all mushy now, you still have your make up to do" stretching the dress to her. It was a beautiful short blue dress with cute pearls at the side. She wore it and it fitted her perfectly even if it was a little bit short for her liking but she wasn't going complain. Anna helped her apply a light make up making her look a little different. "Are you going to wear that?" Anna said pointing at her shoe like it was some piece of s**t. " yes, it's cute" staring at her shoe like she was missing something. " I gat you covered" Anna said handing her a silver high heels. She had to give it to Anna, the girl was a fashionista. "Ain't you coming along? " she asked Anna while looking at her reflection at the mirror. She looked beautiful, "of course I am, I won't miss it in the whole world" Anna replied getting her car keys. Everything was already set and placed at the venue.She had sent her work a week earlier and she was about to see her work being shown to public eyes. Of course she was nervous but also excited about it. Anna was driving her there so she didn't have to hop out from a cap looking unprepared. Barchad was large, she whispered staring at the building as she came down from the car, "Am going to park, I'll meet you inside" Anna announced pulling her away from the building. Nodding I'm reply, she drove the car away. "Ahh miss Laura" Mr Brad called her from behind. He had the same expression on his face like always but was looking good. She smiled at him, "you look great" he complemented her. "Thank you sir" she quickly answered feeling shy. Just then she heard a growl. She turned around looking everywhere trying to pick where that sound came from. Was it her imagination but she could swear she heard a growl. "Are you okay miss Laura?" Mr Brad asked concerned as he saw discomfort in her face. "Are you alright miss Laura?" he asked. Brushing the it "yes sir" she replied. He brings his arm out for her to take, she hesitates but takes it seeing that she couldn't enter the venue without a support. Inside the hall where the exhibition takes place was breath taking, this place was beautiful and it was on the second floor. She wondered how the rest of the building looked like. Mr Brad had to mingle with other guest and he had told her to do the same but they were a lot of people here and she didn't know were to start. "There you are" Anna said looking stunned as she stood beside her. "Wow, they ain't kidding here, so many people" she stated. "Well I am going to get myself some of those fancy drinks and maybe boos to" Anna said adjusting herself. "Wait, you not going to leave me here all by myself" she said with pleading eyes. "Oh Laura, you got this, it's your time so shine" she replied pecking her and leaving. This girl was something else Laura thought. She made her way to some group of ladies, maybe they might be easy to talk to. "Hi, hope you are enjoying the art?" she asked feeling unsure if it was the right thing to say. "of course" the lady with the blond her reply. her British accent was thick making her sound elegant. "Am raven Charles, and you must be Laura right" she asked. She could only nod in reply. How did she know her name, but before she could ask her, raven continued "am an art critic, and Brad told me about you, he said you were really talented and I had to come see it myself" smiling at her. "he did?" was the only thing Laura could say. "Don't worry, when Brad says you talented, trust me dear you are" and raven continued her discussion with the other ladies. After talking to a few more people, everywhere was silent. A man with several bodyguards entered the hall. He was tall and handsome. He would have been mistaken for a god because the Aura he brought was intimidating but that wasn't her case. She was analysing his features, he had a pitch shining dark hair, his blue eyes was mesmerizing and his face was perfect. What was wrong with her? she had never thought about a guy like this before. But something was wrong. He was staring at her while walking inside, and she couldn't look away from his eyes too. He walked to her and signaled his bodyguards. they stopped following him and stationed themselves around. He looked at her intensively, "Good day sir" she said breaking the awful silence around them."Laura Hugh" he finally said, his voice was hard but also soft at the same time. He turned around to see people staring at them and immediately everybody looked away and continued chatting with one another but she was certain they still had there eyes on them.
