FATED TO THE LYCAN TRIPLETS

CHAPTER TWO

LOGAN POV

So once again I manage to sneak in past all of dad’s security and personal guards, yeah, they have exemplary training and yet here I am managing to sneak in completely undetected.

Normally I manage to sneak in when they are all on their day off, which by my calculations should have been today, that makes my curiosity pique, leaving me wondering what Dignitary or Big Shot Mogul dad is expecting, because that is the only time things are like this and there is extra security too.

Having kept my belongings and myself flooded in scent blocker, even though as a Lycan I can block my scent anyway, but if any of my belongings or clothes have any lingering hint of scent, I know my father will pick it up.

As I make my way to the Guesthouse at the rear of the Estate, I actually have to take a breath and hope that I haven’t overlooked any of the security. I can't afford to get complacent, that will lead to me getting caught, all I want to do is sneak into the Guesthouse, shower and maybe a couple hours sleep before I decide on my movements for the rest of the day.

Before I got into the shower, I spread scent blocker all around the Guesthouse, and for good measure I then decided to grab it again and spread it all around again, when it comes to father I am almost safer to bathe in the stuff.

Still having my vested interest in who dad has coming, I smother myself again and make my way to the window beneath his office, it has a vent directly above it and I can hear everything, and as this window is in a storeroom, no-one comes in here, proven by the dust and mess.

It only took about an hour before dad started talking to his lady friend about the impending visitor. It’s her daughter, why would he want to bring her daughter here? I know he said he was serious about this woman, but he hasn’t said anything to me, or the others, about her, we talk every night, and no one has said anything.

Well, this is a slight twist of events, but it’s not going to make any difference to me, I am going to continue to relax and make the most of the next few days of quiet and solitude, before dad makes me his lacky, there will be so many things he will want me to do, find, attend, blah, blah, blah.

I manage to sneak home every holidays and I spend time just preparing for the tornado that is my father. He is hard work, and takes up a-lot, and I mean a-lot of my time. He constantly demands all kinds of things from me.

I have about a week before my brothers are home and man am I looking forward to that, in the meantime I will just lie low and just do my usual, just hanging and chilling!!

I am woken from my afternoon siesta to some hellish yelling from inside the main house I can hear Dad and his lady, another man and what sounds like a young girl, then a few doors slam, then it all goes quiet, dad and his lady have also left the office.

Groaning and cursing my Lycan hearing, I glance at my watch, I’ve been asleep for the last three hours, it’s now almost four in the afternoon.

Deciding to remain here a bit longer and just listen, just to see what happens. I must have dozed off again, this time I wake up and it’s almost one in the morning. That thought causing me to push up off the pillow sitting up, deciding it might be time to grab some food from the kitchen.

Quietly making my way to the kitchen, knowing that dad’s personal chef’s would have huge amounts of food prepared, considering father was expecting guests, he will always offer at least two full main dishes for each attending person, always giving a ridiculous amount of food.

By the time I get to the kitchen, I can hear voices that seem to be coming from outside father’s room, so I go about my task, just as I open the refrigerator door, my stomach growls loudly! Freezing in my place, I hold my breath to pause for a moment to see if the guards heard anything.

Grabbing an arm full of food and some fruit for good measure, placing it all in a box. With a last moment thought I put the box down on the bench to sneak a peek, see who is there and what is going on.

I am so engrossed in my own secret mission I missed the body making its way up behind me, before I realise I am grabbed from behind and pulled back into the kitchen with a hand over my mouth, this close I can smell past the scent blocker, I can’t help but smile, then I lick the hand!!

The squeak, yep actual squeak at my action making me chuckle, but getting the desired result, making the hand pull back quickly.

“You are the grossest person I know!” Lexi states in a hard whisper. I spin around and smile at the same time I pick her up giving her a huge bear hug, until she taps out on my shoulder, partly to do with me having the upper hand and partly due to her desire to regain the ability to breathe.

Both trying not to laugh, not wanting to make noise, as we retreat back into the kitchen. Once she catches her breath, she proceeds “Why didn’t you let me know you were going to be home early?” her face showing her question is genuine.

I lean back against the bench with my ankles crossed, moving my arms across my chest, smiling at her with an eyebrow c****d up, “Lex, how long have we known each other?” Her mouth drops open, her face amused but before she has a chance to respond I continue, “Do I not come home early every holiday’s at least a week before the end of the term, and before the other boys get home?” now I am really finding it hard not to laugh, her face now looking almost in shock.

Her mouth gaping open and her attempting not to laugh or smile, I can’t hold it in any longer, trying to chuckle quietly, is that really a thing? we try, none the less.

Then there are footsteps coming toward the kitchen, I grab my box of loot and headed for the door, a wink and quick smile to Lexi. I left her to deal with the incoming person.

Just as the door closes, I am stopped in my tracks, it’s then I hear her! The girl from earlier. She sounds so shy and quiet, compared to the yelling from earlier she is a mouse now.

Standing in the shadows, with a hope to catch even a small glimpse, I can’t see her, but then there is her scent.

Its heavenly, perfect, honey suckle and citrus it’s not a scent I would normally even give a second thought, my Lycan/Wolf is alert and keenly interested, he wants to know more, wants to get closer to her.

Making my way back to the guest house to eat, my mind wandering back to the sweet voice and even sweeter scent.

Lost deeply in thought, the door flies open slamming into the wall. I look up startled by the noise. NO-ONE knows I’m here.
