Beloved & Mate ✔️[Fang and Canine Series Book 1]

Chapter 5

Roman's POV

The first thing that Roman had done was go to a flower shop in the early morning. His mother had raised him as a gentleman and if he recalled correctly, the first go to romantic items were flowers and chocolate. Yes when he thought about it it seemed cheesy but Hollywood had done many many romantic movies and they involved flowers and chocolate one way or another. So he thought, why not give it a try?

The only thing was Roman didn't know was whether vampires ate anything or not. He hadn't exactly spent anytime with one of them. Before he came to study at the university, Roman was living among a small pack that consisted of his town. And they only had learned about a vampire from their families. So Lana was the first one he had seen in flesh.

Would she eat chocolate if he bought some for her? He would soon learn.

Yes he also bought one single rose because she smelled like roses and it just seemed fitting. He was bad at romance at least he was admitting it. With a deep sigh he left the flower shop before he could give in to his doubts and lose his mind. If Lana happened to not turn him down immediately for some miracle, he would have to watch more romance movies or read more books on it. Because flowers and chocolate was seriously laughable.

He made his way to the university, Lana's class was the first on his schedule today and he was thrilled about it. Not about the lesson but about seeing her. Yes he loved learning latin but he wouldn't have picked the class if it weren't for Trevor. 'The chicks dig bilinguals' he had said. 'Idiot' he had replied at the time but now, he was grateful to his horny friend because signing up to the class had brought him to Lana.

Roman reached class and made his way to take his seat next to Trevor. He was already seated and doodling on his notebook. Trevor looked at Roman when he sat next to him. And then looked at the half concealed single rose and box of chocolate and chuckled.

"Nice Romeo. Good going. Chocolate and roses but you still have much to learn grasshopper." He said while rubbing an imaginary beard at his chin.

"What do you mean Trevor?" Roman asked.

"Didn't you say she told you she was 'old'? We don't know how old she may be so she may have already received a thousand roses and thousand chocolates from other admirers. Going with generic stuff is not going to help you with this girl Roman."

At the mention of a thousand admirers, Roman's blood started to boil and red anger from jealousy started to cloud his vision. But also he started to feel self-conscious. What if Trevor was right? What if Lana had received many gifts like this and this seemed boring and dull to her. He had never been this unsure of himself, he was so nervous.

"Do not fret my boy, I being the good friend I am will be the cupid on your shoulder and guide your actions from now on so you will not make a fool of yourself on my watch." Trevor announced with conviction and pride.

Before Roman had time to reply, a silence fell on the students because he noticed, his mate had entered the class. She was as beautiful as ever. Today Lana was wearing a white blouse and a black skirt that hugged her hips so perfectly. Roman wanted to take her into his arms and whisk her away to a secluded place to admire her only himself, he did not want any body else to gaze upon her even if what she was wearing was very normal and no this train of thought was not ridiculous. 'No it is not. It is perfectly reasonable.' His wolf agreed with him with a huff.

The lesson started with Lana's melodic voice. She was teaching about the basics of the language now. Since the class had newcomers such as Roman himself, before continuing on to more complex topics, Lana had wanted to go over the basics. She made something so simple easily elegant and like a sonnet. Roman was enchanted.
