Chapter 17 - Julia's bakery

We jumped in his car and he started driving.

"Are you feeling good, does it hurt Love?" Lucian peeked at me while driving.

"No, it doesn't" I replied while my cheeks burned thinking about what we had just done. It did hurt a little but I can manage that.

"That's good, do you want anything to eat?"

On cue, my stomach rumbled.

Stupid stomach!

Lucian chuckled "mc Donalds sounds good?" He asked.

I've been to the human world barely 2-3 times and I ate in a lot of places but it was not enough to remember names. But I can't tell him that.

"Sounds good" I smiled.

"Mc Donalds it is then." He chuckled again and pulled into a drive-through. I might not know the names but I do know what a drive-through is.

Lucian held my hand and kissed it as we parked. After a few minutes, it was our turn and I ordered everything which Lucian did, except the ice cream which he asked me for.

Lucian pulled up in a park and asked me to follow him with my ice cream. "Come I need to show you something" he pulled me as I struggled to hold my ice cream. He was behaving like a child, excited and happy and it made me happier.

"Just stand here" he made me stand right next to the swing where children were playing and ran away somewhere.

Now walk forward- a voice in my head spoke, it was Lucian's voice. He was using the mind link. Now that we were mated, we have the mind link between us and we can talk to each other any time anywhere. We can also block it if we want and the other person won't hear from you.

Now turn to the right- he said after I reached the end of the park. To the right were a few shops and next to it was a dark alley.

Now enter the shop that says Julia's bakery- I nodded in my head and thought about how stupid it was. He can hear me when I mindlink him, he cannot see me.

In the far corner, I can see a shop called Julia's bakery so I walked towards it and within 3 minutes I was entering it.

The place smelt of cinnamon and freshly baked bread. It was cozy and warm.

In front of me was the counter where a lady was standing. Now that I've entered it, I don't know what to do. I need to ask Lucian where he is.

"Hey Love" Lucian appeared from behind me interrupting my thoughts and startling me.

"You almost killed me" I fake shrieked and he laughed. "This place is cute" I commented.

"You like it?" Lucian asked with a wide smile.

"Yes I do, this is a nice place"

"Wait till you try the stuff," Lucian said and took me to the lady on the counter

"Hey, Lucian" the old lady greeted us. "The regular?"

"Yea Mrs. Smith. Thank you" Lucian took us to the table.

"So, you wanted to talk to me about something," Lucian said as we sat.

My mind suddenly started flooding with concern as I thought about what to tell him.

"Actually yes, there's something I need to talk to you about. It's bothering me"

"Is it someone? Is someone bothering you?" Lucian asked with raised brows and I shook my head.

"Well not a person, a situation," I replied but before I could talk, our food arrived, and just as I'd forgotten about Jake earlier, I did it again.

We finished the heavenly food and Lucian went to talk to Mrs. Smith as I finished my cocoa.

"You new around here?" A tall, pale guy, presumably human stood in front of me.

Without any further response, he sat down on Lucian's empty seat "I hope you don't mind me sitting here"

I thought about it "actually I do" I told him as he made himself comfortable.

"Do you know what they say about feisty girls?" He smirked disgustingly "they know how to run their mouth, the day and the whole night" he whispered, pulling in closer to me.

"Listen, just leave Ok. I am not interested so leave" I replied. I may have been rude but he made my skin crawl with his previous comment.

"Feisty. I love myself some feisty-" but he couldn't complete his sentence. And I don't think he'll be ever able to complete any sentence in his life as Lucian's fist collided with his cheek.

"She said leave!" Lucian said, almost growling and I can feel it in his voice that what he was suggesting was that dude might be the best for him. Because if he stays, he won't stay on earth for long.

The guy grabbed a napkin and covered his mouth. The napkin started spotting red and he practically ran out of the shop.

"Are you ok love?" Lucian held my shoulders as I continuously chewed on the donut.

"Yes," I answered and gulped. He took his seat again in front of me.

"I swear I would've killed him if he was like us." His voice dropped "he is alive because he's a human" his head turned to watch the guy get in his car and leave. The glass wall was giving him enough of the view.

"It's okay Lucian" I touched his arm and his head turned to me "don't worry, I'm sure he'll be traumatized till his death" I chuckled.

"I certainly hope so. No one touches what's mine" he said with so much passion, that my breath stopped for a minute.

Is it wrong that I find this hot? The last time I checked, laws were preventing global warming but this guy is increasing it.

Dumbfounded, I just nodded. "Does the shop owners not have a problem? With what just happened" I said. Yes, I was suggesting that if we were in a regular shop and Lucian just punched a guy out of the blue, we might have been kicked out. But here, nobody's saying anything. I turned to see Mrs. Smith taking orders from the teenagers who just entered.

"No, I don't have a problem," Lucian said and a smirk found its way to his face. The words settled in a few seconds in my mind.

"You own this place?" My eyes widened.

Lucian nodded with that smirk.

I mean I knew Lucian was rich and owning property or business in the human or werewolf world was no big thing for him. But the fact that he owned such a sweet and cozy place warmed my heart.

"Yes I do" he replied and chuckled, probably due to my expression which was shocked and awed at the same time.

"This is so sweet" I smiled. I got up and kissed his cheek. His cheeks turned a crimson color which made me kiss him again.

We talked for so long, that I forgot that it was probably midnight now. We were talking and giggling.

Just as we left the shop, something crossed my mind. Lucian would've killed that guy if he was a wolf just for trying to hit on me. If he does find out about Jake, I'm not sure what will happen to him. The thought made a lump form in my throat as Lucian pulled out the car in the parking below the hotel we were staying in.

The hotel was big but the parking lot was half empty and dark.

"Thank you Love" Lucian grabbed my hand as we parked. "Thank you for accepting me. I know I can be hard sometimes" he heartedly spoke and my heart melted.

"Lucian". I held his right cheek and bent forward to kiss his left cheek.

He held my waist and pulled me in. Now I was straddling him in his waist and he kissed me and kept on kissing me.

At that moment, my heartfelt content was as if this is truly where I belong.

"You are mine Love" he breathed and held me tight when we stopped our kiss.

"And I will burn alive anybody who tries to come between us"
