Before 6 pm in Silverdale Pack City, different expensive cars were already arriving at the Dale hotel where the gala meeting would be held.
The airport welcomed big investors as they headed towards the venue. Lucian just stood on the balcony of the penthouse, looking down with his sharp sight. The meeting would be starting in a few minutes and he refused to even step out of his penthouse.
"Why are you so interested in their arrival sir?" Gabriel asked as he poured him another glass of blood to refill the one he has been sipping since.
"Of all the places they could be holding this gala, it is right under my penthouse? Isn't that nice?" Lucian said sarcastically.
"Dale hotel is still the fanciest hotel in the whole pack sir. Alpha Ralph is a proud man and would want to show off his fancy hotel to other alphas." Gabriel pointed out but Lucian was indifferent.
Lucian watched for a few minutes with a straight look before turning to leave the balcony. "Tell her to bring the files to me. I'll be preparing for the meeting."
"In your room sir?" Gabriel asked, taken aback.
"Wherever she finds me." Lucian replied as he stepped into the penthouse. Gabriel stood there in shock and didn't know exactly what had gotten over his boss.
Since Seraphina arrived, he has been acting strangely. The surprising part to him was he spent millions on shopping for her.
Gabriel walked over to Seraphina who was busy on her laptop and handed her a file. "Sir asked you to bring it to him. He should either be in his office or his room."
Seraphina looked up at him, and hearing the two options, her heart skipped a bit. The drive back to the penthouse that afternoon was awkward after they touched each other and she had been avoiding him since then.
"Can't you take it to him for me? Please?" Seraphina asked and Gabriel shook his head negatively before she collected the file from him anyways and headed towards Lucian's room.
She knocked a couple of times before pushing the door open to drop the file there since he wasn't in his office when she walked by.
Seraphina walked over to the coffee table and placed the file there. Her eyes caught the picture of Lucian and a young girl who looked just like him. She guessed it was his sister or a family.
"What are you doing here?" His chilly voice made her freeze. "Are you deaf?"
"I… I…" Seraphina stuttered as she hurriedly turned to look at him and she almost got a nosebleed immediately her gaze settled on him.
He was wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. Water dripped from his hair and skin, trailing down to define the contours of his abs.
Her eyes widened in surprise, and a hue of pink rose to her cheeks and her mouth opened with words stuck in it.
Seeing this, Lucian walked over to the file and scanned through it. She still remained there, staring at him which made him smirk as he slowly leaned in.
"Do you want a taste of me, Angel?" He said with his breath fanning her neck. He slowly kissed her neck down to her shoulder and she felt weak in the knees. "Answer me, Angel."
"I… I…" Seraphina tried to say but a gentle moan escaped her lips and just that moan drove Lucian to the edge.
"Goodness, what are you doing to me Seraphina?" He groaned as he grabbed her waist, pulling her closer to himself as he sucked on the area between her neck and shoulder.
"Sir…" Seraphina gasped but he slowly let her go and walked into his dressing room.
Seraphina rushed out of the room with her face flushed. She couldn't believe he actually made a move on her. "Angel…" The word resounded in her head and it made her stomach flip.
Few minutes later, Lucain was standing at the main door, waiting for Seraphina to be done with her dressing. His cold look remained in his face as he leaned against the elevator door.
"I am so sorry for keeping you waiting, sir." She apologized, avoiding meeting his eyes as she stepped into the elevator. Lucian stepped in next to her and the elevator closed.
"About what happened the other time." He said and Seraphina looked down at the ipad in her hands. "It never happened between us."
Her heart sank as he said that. She didn't know why she felt that way but she couldn't shake it off either.
Seraphina stepped into the meeting hall with Lucian, making everyone's gaze turned towards them. Most of the ladies looked at her from head to toe, while others just focused on Lucian.
"Prince Lucian." A masculine voice called and Lucain remained indifferent as he bowed to him. "I didn't expect you to come here on your own. I thought Gabriel would be attending this year's gala. And what a beautiful young lady you have here with you."
His eyes scanned Seraphina from head to toe before licking his lips and Lucian stepped in front of her with his cold expression. "Get your eyes off my employee, Drake."
"So protective of her, I see. Could it be that she satisfies Prince Lucian more than those women in Cloud 9?" As he completed his sentence, Lucian grabbed him by the neck with his eye color slowly dimming into red, as he bared his fangs.
Everyone gasped but no one dared to step close to him, to stop him. "Sir, please stop. He will die." Seraphina whispered as she trembled due to his cold aura flaring.
"I don't care if he dies. No one disrespects what's mine."
