Chapter 6: 24/7 WITH HIM
When Lucy reached the address on the GPS, she turned and looked at her mate thinking that he will tell her anything about her driving skills but she became sad when she saw him getting out of the car without even looking at her. She also got out of the car and looked around to find something or someone, but all she is seeing is only the huge mansion painted in a forest green color. She eagerly went inside to see the people he shifted here from that hell, but she saw no one. She looked at the interior designs, the huge staircase in the center to go to the first floor and her eyes caught a beautiful portrait of her mate sitting on the couch looking like a real king. She is immersed in that portrait where the real person is waiting behind for her to look at him.
After a few minutes when she realized where she is standing, she immediately turned and looked at her mate who is looking at her with something in his eyes that she identified as Love. Fighting against her wolf and her heart, her brain started to ask questions to him to which he only kept mum.
"Why do you take me to your place, sir?" She only got silence as the answer to her question.
"Where are the people you rescued from there? I want to see them" Again she only got silence as the answer.
"Sir, can you reply to my question?" She asked and again she didn't get any answer.
In frustration, she turned to the entrance of the mansion and tried to go outside but within a blink of an eye, he came and stood in front of her. It didn't take much energy from him to stop her from going outside. Just a few words are enough to stop her.
"Do you want to risk all of their life by your presence around them? In case you don't know, let me tell you one thing, you're enemies are following you everywhere. And try to trust your mate, the people I rescued are in safe hands and they are 100% safe. I'll take you to them when everything is solved". He said and started to ascend the stairs in the center of the mansion leaving her all confused.
She looked in the direction he went as she didn't know what to do. She started to walk in the direction he went with a lot of things running inside her mind. She is thankful to him and at the same time, she is afraid. She already knew that they are behind her but she didn't think that it will also affect those people. She decided to stay somewhere else until everything is solved and for that now she has to talk to Devlin.
She didn't realize where she was heading until she saw the man removing his necktie. She hid behind the wall knowing that he is going to change his dress. She tried to go downstairs again but her stupid wolf is not letting her. She guessed that this is his room which is the first room on the left side of the first floor. Her wolf wants to come outside but she knew that now she can't as she has no dress to wear after the change. When she is battling here with her wolf, Devlin changed his dark blue Armani to a black t-shirt, and joggers and he guessed that his mate is standing outside the room and he can smell her.
He came outside and saw her standing close to the wall like a lizard. He wants to laugh at her seeing how hard she is trying to control her emotions but then he guesses he is trying more hard than her to be sane. She didn't see him as she is closing her eyes but then she opened her eyes smelling her mate near her.
"You love that wall that much Ms. Lucy?" Devlin mocked her and started to descend the stairs again.
"No, sir can you arrange for me any other house to live in until everything gets solved?" She asked hesitantly and started to follow him downstairs. She knew that she shouldn't ask this her boss and then she also knew that no one is for her other than him.
He stooped in the middle and looked at her. He smirked at her but didn't say anything. He went inside the modern kitchen in his mansion followed by a confused Lucy. She is impressed to see the kitchen which is on the right side of the ground floor. She loves every interior in the mansion and the kitchen.
"You can stay here Ms. Lucy. Just cook me for days as the rent" He said and sat on the kitchen cabinet looking at her reaction.
"What? I won't stay with you. I will ask Cara mam, to help me in finding a new house" She said and took her mobile phone to call Cara as Cara already saved her number on Lucy's mobile phone.
"Who is her boss and Alpha? It's me and not you Ms. Lucy. She will only listen to my words" He said even when he knew that she won't listen to his words if it was Lucy who is in opposite him. That girl loves her sister a lot.
Lucy pouted thinking that what he said is true. She wants to slap herself for being this weak in front of him. She doesn't know why she is losing all her woman characteristics and becomes a child whenever she is near him. How can she be able to control herself with him around her 24 per day in both the office and house? She shook her thoughts and become determined to go search for a house by herself but he said something which again stopped her.
"Are you not afraid of losing me, Baby girl? Now, they saw me with you and they'll surely try to kill me. Oh! You don't have any problem with that right? You don't want me and you don't care whether I live or not" He said and waited for her reaction.
The mere thought that his mate doesn't want him is painful enough to bring tears to his eyes, but then he is determined to make her his by every nook and corner. On the other side, it almost gave her immense pain thinking of her mate's death. How could she be able to live without her mate for the rest of her life? She can't. She wants to slap him hard for telling her that. But, she needs to be in her control, she wiped her tears away which started to brim down when she heard him saying that. She put her bag on the kitchen cabinet and set up everything to cook not even looking at him.
Devlin smiled thinking that he'll able to eat good food after a long time. His tongue is dead due to the restaurant foods, but only if he knew that his mate sucks at cooking.
