Chapter 5: HIS GAME STARTS
Devlin entered Lucy's cabin and saw that his mate is now sleeping peacefully on the desk while he lost his sleep. He slowly went near her and sat in front of her. He guessed that his mate don't want to sleep turning on the light because the dark red color curtains are fully closed making it hard for the evening sunrays to enter her cabin. Yes, it was already evening when he came to the company again after finishing some work. He wants to touch her face and tug the hair strands behind her ear but he knew that it'll be the wrong move. So, he simply took one pen from the pen stand and used that pen to tug her hair behind her ear. And, he started to caress her hair using the pen, not touching her with his hands. It's not that easy for him when his wolf tries his everything to come out.
He is impressed seeing how she changed the room within hours. He always hated this cabin's interior because of its pink color but now he loves the room with the changes. She almost covered the whole room with the decors and paintings hiding most of the pink color. Her desk is also neatly arranged and he smirked smelling the room spray that she used to hide her wolf smell from the others who visit her cabin. He already started his play this morning to find the truth about why she is not letting him in her life but now needs to start the game to break the wall around her heart that she made by herself. Even though he knew that this was not easy, he will try until he dies. At first, he thought that she is hiding some small things but when he started his investigation he found out that she is hiding something big.
Feeling something on her face, Lucy woke up with a jerk as she didn't know when she fell asleep. Her eyes widened when she noticed Devlin looking at her with some unknown expression. She didn't fail to notice the pen in his hand. And when she guessed why he is holding that pen, her heart pinged knowing that he used that pen to wake her up. Even when her wolf is angry with her, her wolf knew why she is like that and her wolf will support her as she is her blood soul and also the only one who knows the truth and has also gone through tough times with her.
"You're sleeping during work time, Ms. Lucy, and I think you need to get punishment for sleeping during office time" Devlin smirked saying this and looking at the clock in her room.
"What...what is the...punish...punishment, sir?" Lucy stammered on her words not knowing what punishment her mate is going to give her.
"Hmm. It's not that big Ms. Lucy, as you slept during working hours, you can't go home tonight. You have to work with me all night, Ms. Lucy". Devlin said and his wolf almost started to pound inside him.
"You idiot, she should get enough sleep. Let her go home and sleep peacefully" His wolf ordered him but he just ignored it as he doing this for a reason and he will explain everything to his wolf later on.
"What? No sir, please. It's dangerous. I need to go". Lucy almost started to plead and her eyes started to tear up.
Even though she is pleading with him to let her go, she is relieved that she doesn't need to go to that hell tonight. But, then if she didn't go, it'll create a big problem only for the innocent. Devlin smirked inwardly seeing her reaction as he already found something. He understood why she wants to go but then he did everything that she doesn't need to go there anymore. He took his mobile phone and played some video and showed it to her. She looked at that video with wide eyes and with happy and satisfied tears brimming down her eyes. When the video got finished, Devlin kept his mobile phone inside his packet and stood up, and started to walk outside her cabin with satisfaction.
Seeing him walking outside, Lucy stood up and went behind him to hug him. But before she did that, he turned to her and said something with a smirk and left her all alone with her wolf and his thoughts.
"Control yourself, Baby girl. There is still a lot you need to see. That was just my intro before the game starts. You just sit and enjoy the game" This is what he said before leaving.
Lucy sat with the thud on her chair and remembered whatever she saw in that video. Then she guessed it. He is more powerful than he is looking or saying. Even when she is happy that he is here to help her, she is afraid, afraid of losing her loved ones again. Her wolf is also in the same shock. He cleared one of the problems but then there is a lot. What is he going to do? Moreover, what she is going to do?
She came out of her thoughts when she heard her office phone ringing which was given by Cara to her. She saw the caller ID and it was her boss or you can say her mate. She attended the call but didn't hear anything from the other side.
"Come to the parking lot immediately, Ms. Lucy" He ordered after silence and cut the call immediately.
Lucy confusedly got up from the chair and packed her things. When she came outside her cabin she saw no one. She guessed that everyone went to their homes as it was already late. She guessed that he is calling her to drop her in the new place where he shifted everyone. She went to the parking lot and saw him already sitting inside his car in the driver's seat and doing something on his mobile phone.
She smiled seeing his car as she loves it. She started to learn race driving thinking that it will be helpful in the future but she can't drive on her own as the car does not belong to her. Now, if her boss let her she'll drive this car as she loves. When she is in her thoughts, Devlin looked at her and saw the way she is looking at his car. He already got to know that she is a racer and also trying to buy her car. Devlin also took this car here today only for his mate. He got down from the car and waited until she came near him.
"Ms. Lucy, I'm not in the mood to drive now. I know you're not my assistant but you know everything about me. So, my order for you now is to drive to this address carefully. I think you know driving because you are already enough age to drive. But, drive carefully Ms. Lucy. I'll be having something precious inside the car" He said giving setting an address in the car's GPS not even looking at her.
Even though Lucy became happy that he is asking her to drive her favorite car she became confused not knowing what his precious thing will be. She knew that no one other than them can sit inside the car because it only has two seats. She looked around to find something but then she diverted her mind to that car. Her brain didn't get what the precious thing Devlin is talking about but her wolf got that thing, but she didn't tell her anything letting her enjoy her drive.
She happily got inside the car in the driving seat and Devlin also got in the passenger seat. Being stupid, she threw her bag at Devlin not caring about his reaction. The bag hit his face but thankfully that was not hard. And before he saw anything to her, she started the car and kept the engine on, she signaled him to wear the seatbelt and she secured the seatbelt around herself. But, she didn't notice a pair of eyes that was on her and Devlin. But, Devlin noticed that through the rearview mirror on his side. And he smirked when the bullet hit that person's forehead. Devlin put his seat belt on with the satisfaction that his men did a good job and before he even looked at his mate, his car was out of the office gate.
He smiled seeing her happy face and he vowed to protect her.
