Chapter 10: LURKING DANGER
Even though the way to the headquarters of Atlantica seems to be noisy and congested, the environment inside the black BMW which is traveling on that road is completely different. Both the persons sitting inside the car are peaceful. They are none other than Devlin and Lucy. Lucy is the one who is driving the car and Devlin is stealing glances from her. After a morning talk, they both seem to be peaceful and their feelings are also controlled well.
Both of their wolves, Den and Lia are also at the peace. Even though Devlin's wolf was surprised and shocked to know about the other side of Lucy, it is happy to know to his mate can take care of her and it also likes that badass side of her. Lucy's wolf on the other hand is happy to know that her mate is the good one who won't kill any innocent.
This only is not the reason for the peacefulness inside the car. Devlin knew that she is hiding something big but he knew that she'll surely help him to save her. On the other side, Lucy also decided to help him while trying to save him. At first, she thought, keeping herself at a distance from him will save him, but now she knew that she need be with him to save him. Both are saving each other. Lucy knew that Devlin is trying to save her, but did Devlin know that she is trying to save him?
They both got out of the car with a smile on their face and seeing that smiles on their face and seeing them both coming together, Connor and Cara got a heart attack. They thought it will take a long time to see them like this. But, within 24 hours they both understood each other. This is not only because they both are mates, but it's their heart that wants to trust and care for each other.
Not every time the air around you will be the breeze right? It can become a storm. They both worked peacefully in the office until the afternoon, but then Devlin got a call from one of the mafia men saying that they found out a person's identity of the person who was killed by them yesterday night by shooting at his forehead. He immediately went to Lucy's cabin to ask her to come with him to the underground place Mafia. But, what he saw there made him a little bit sad. He saw that his mate is talking with both of his friends Connor and Cara with so much happiness.
He knew that there is no problem between him and his mate but he is longing for a time when he can sit and talk with his mate while hugging her from behind. He wants to be the reason for the smile on her face. He smiled at his thoughts and cleared his throat grabbing the attention of three.
"I don't think that CEO and his Assistant have some work here in the cabin of the Assistant manager of the financial department," He said almost jealousy dripping in his voice.
"I don't think that the real CEO and Mafia don of America have some work in the same cabin of the assistant manager of the financial department," Connor said against Devlin using his same words.
Yes, his friends also know about him being a Mafia don, and to say it clearly, they both also help him sometimes. Now, while Devlin and some of the Mafia members are trying to find the truth about Lucy, Connor and Cara are taking care of other work.
"Devlin, don't tell me that you're jealous of us," Cara said and started to laugh guessing the truth.
Devlin ignored her question with a stern look which confirmed that he is jealous. Both Connor and Cara knew about attitude and behavior of Devlin well, so it was not that hard for them to find out. They both started to laugh at him and Devlin huffed that he can't even hide this simple matter from his friends. Lucy is just sitting and watching everything in confusion but her wolf found out that he is jealous. She smiled when her wolf told her that.
"Enough guys, Ms. Lucy, we need to go somewhere important," Devlin said making all the three understand.
Lucy nodded her head and also both Connor and Cara did as well. Lucy stood up and took her bag and went near Devlin. When they both are going to get near the door of the cabin, they heard Connor.
"Thank god love, now they both will leave the office and we can enjoy our time," Connor said to Cara while smirking at her.
Devlin turned to them and said something to which they are shocked and they pouted knowing that they can't enjoy their time.
"My dear Beta and Omega, you don't have any leisure time to spend. There are some new werewolves inside our place. I smelled them last night around my mansion. Try to find them sweethearts" Devlin said causing Lucy to start shaking in fear thinking that they are already around him.
"Fine, we will, Dear Alpha," Connor said with a smile, and also there is a hint in his eyes that he will take care of that matter.
Then both Devlin and Lucy left while something is running inside Lucy's brain. She knew that they are around her but never once did they come this near to her while she was living with her family. She is confused not knowing why they surrounded Devlin's house. She looked at the man walking beside her and vowed to protect him no matter what. She didn't want to risk his life for her. And she will save him no matter what.
Seeing her reaction and her silence itself, Devlin knew that she knew something about that werewolf. He also knew that she won't tell him that, but he also knew how to make her tell him about that. When they both got inside the car, Devlin opened her mouth and asks her whatever he wants to know.
"Ms. Lucy, did you find anything about the werewolves who are behind that girl?" He asked to which she looked at him with a small smile and replied to his question.
"You don't need to play around. You can ask me anything straightly, I'm ready to answer you. And about those werewolves, I don't know much about them. But, I know that they are only behind me. I don't know what they want from me but I know there is something they want from me. But the thing is I don't have anything with me. I don't have any secrets not I'm the one who is someone in the higher post rather than the fact that my parents worked all their life to save some people" Lucy spoke through the confusion not getting any points to connect.
Devlin looked at her with the same confusion as he also didn't have any idea about why they are behind her but one thing is sure he won't let anything happen to her.
