1197 Words
Lilian found it hard and difficult to catch her breath and watch as this tall figure cover her mouth in a swift and place his index finger on his lips indicating that she should keep quiet. Only then did Lilian understand that this is not one of Perry's men and he seems to have come for her rescue. But what could he be doing at this very late hour of the night? Well Lilian didn't have time to ponder on this questions and decided to grab any help that could come her way at this very moment. So she obediently follow this strong hefty and handsome guy who quietly grab her hand and take her duffel bag on his other hand and start pulling her away and as they are walking, they sighted a headlight of a car, and he quickly pull her into a corner and let the car passed. Sure Lilian saw the car and knows whose person's car it is, it none other than Perry Jerome's. So she follow this stranger up to a place of about eight hundred meters away from her home. They got to a Bugatti Divo parked, and he helped her open the co-pilot's door and closed it when she gets in and sit, then he open the passenger's seat behind and drop her bag. Then turn to the driver's seat and drive away, only then did Lilian sigh in relief and look at the cold looking handsome man beside her and said, thank you Sir for saving me, I owe you this favor today and if there's a way I can repay you, please state your condition. Derek sneer and look at her as he ask her back instead, and how did you intend to repay me? Lilian bit her lower lip and look down at her fidgety fingers, and take a deep breath as she said, even though she's not sure, because seeing the car that this person is driving it's not everybody that can drive it. But she said, I can pay you money and you name your price. Derek sniff a laugh and focus in is driving but didn't said anything, as Lilian doubt what to do now. Derek look at her from the corner of his eyes and wonder what is going on? Him and his brother are turning twenty-seven years next month and are yet to find their moon goddess' gifted mate, but this evening made it the fifth times that either him or his twin brother Cayden will have a whiff of her, in the same area he saved Lilian, but her scent will disappear in a flash. They even consulted the old witch Meredith and Simon the elder and Skylar the healer, they all said that there's a particular task that the moon goddess assigned and is expecting them to accomplish only then shall they meet their mate. And the most frustrating thing about it, no one knows exactly what this so-called task is all about. They said that it tricky, that the moon goddess will give them this task unexpected and unprepared, and if they win and achieve the task, only then will they be able to find their mate. So today, Derek came to Avaldos city to see the progress of their building, yes they are expanding their company's branch here in Avaldos city. But the moment he arrived, his wolf Riggs was so restless and want to try his luck if he can just have a whiff of their mate to calm him down. So Derek finished his work and drive to the place, as usual, he will pack his car far away, not to attract attention and quietly walk to the place. Because elder Simon and healer Skylar said that, their mate should be in the place where they perceives her scent. And that's the specific place, close to Lilian's house. So as soon as he got to the place, the same sweet, vanilla, milk and honey scent wafted into his nostrils and vanished in a flash, but he tressed the direction of the scent, which led him to a very sexy and beautiful girl who is jumping out of the window and being chased by others. But what disappoints him more is the scent of a man that emanates from her body, and when he was taking her away, knowing that she's been pursued by someone not to be trifled with, he hide and watch a Rolls-Royce Sweptail drive past them, with the same smell that is on her body. Only then did he realized that, this girl is so brave to have defiled such a tyrant. Derek take a deep breath and ask, where do you want to... He pause recalling what he heard earlier from the so-called sister, and change his words and said, let me take you to a hotel to lounge. Lilian bit her lips hard with a dull face as she look at him pleading almost with tears which made Derek's heart shudder and melt. Lilian said, Sir can you please take me outside this country? Please I'm begging you. I won't be able to escape now, he owns the country. Derek look surprised and ask, and who is this person, how did you provoke such a powerful person? Lilian sob bitterly as she shake her head and said, his father is Morgan Jerome. Derek look at her in surprised, who doesn't know Perry Jerome, a very ruthless and merciless mafia, not only that he is the notorious playboy. As he scrutinizes Lilian again and thought, you're capable to must have be able to attract this playboy that makes him to even look at you twice. Then he look at her again and wonder, Perry is very handsome and rich, and any woman that will turn a blind eyes to Perry's advances must be incredibly have dignity to herself. This made Derek have a different perspective about Lilian. Then he calmly ask, where do you want me to take you to? Lilian was lost for some moments, thinking that she heard wrongly. Derek raise his brow and look at her and quickly focus on the highway and ask, or have you changed your mind? Lilian snap out of her daze and quickly shake her head and said, please just take me outside Avaldos. Derek said, outside Avaldos city is California and you will not be allow entry to the State. Lilian nods and said, I know you can help pass the boundary. Derek said, you will still be deported. Lilian shake her head and said, I'm an indigenous of the State. Derek take a deep breath, but he cannot tell why he is doing this and surprisingly even his wolf Riggs wasn't against it, when he couldn't find his mate and felt disappointed. Riggs chuckle and said, what are you saying? At least I was lucky enough to have a whiff of her scent, I'm calm. But for you helping this lady here, can I dissuade you not to? Well as long as you aren't doing anything to betray our mate, I won't say anything. Derek chuckle and said, alright I won't.
