Luciana sat on the ground while Darcian held the back of her collar.
She was on the verge of vomiting the way Darcian drove the car.
“Can’t you even drive a car in a proper manner?”, questioned Luciana with heavy breathing.
“I thought you could take it, but it seems are wrong about you.”, Darcian clicked his tongue.
“Don’t blame me, blame your riding skill.”
“I thought you were a weak werewolf, but I was wrong. You seemed to be the weakest werewolf to ever exist.”
Luciana put her butt on the ground before glaring at Darcian.
“One day, taming me will be so hard, you will end up begging.”, Luciana declared.
Darcian laughed at her statement and held her elbow to support her to stand.
“Do you have water?”, asked Luciana.
“I have but I am afraid there is no toilet nearby.”, Darcian said with a serious expression but soon burst out in laughter.
“That’s a human nature, right?”
At his statement, Luciana's ears turned red due to embarrassment.
“Can you please shut your annoying mouth?
“You were supposed to take me to the market!!”
The pale blue sky had a hint of dusk over it, announcing the soon-to-be evening.
Luciana and Darcian reached the market after thirty minutes.
“Be careful.”, warned Darcian.
“Remember I told you about the strange behaviour of vampires after the Lord’s slumber. You are going to witness it here.”
“Don’t tell me you bought me here thinking I would pity over the vampire. Don’t forget I am a wolf, I don’t pity you guys.” Declared Luciana as if she really didn’t care.
“Sorry to disappoint you but, I bought you here to tailor some clothes for you.”, replied Darcian.
“What!? Darcian, tell me the truth. This is the first time you are k********g someone, right?”, asked Luciana.
“Didn’t I say, I tried the sacrificial process with other human girls too? To conclude, you are wrong.”, Darcian said hesitantly.
“You lied, in your lifetime, k********g was never your thing. Even now, although I am abducted, I am living as if I came to enjoy a vacation.”, Luciana said.
“Just do something which angers me so that I can at least give a reason to attack you.”
“You can attack me for no reason. k********g is itself a crime.”
“But even though you kidn*pped me, I am not angry at you.”
“You are the first Alpha werewolf with a moderate temper.”
“I am not moderate, I just don’t want to harm...”, she tip-toed her legs from her seat to reach Darcian’s ears but failed therefore signalling him to bend towards her. After successfully having his ear reach her mouth she further whispered,” Innocent buds flower.”
“I am not kind as you are thinking of me, Luciana. I am an evil creature. Be careful from me too.”, Darcian said looking out of the window, his face showed a hint of disappointment.
Luciana didn’t continue the conversation further and got out of the car.
Darcian too reached behind her and they both entered the market.
There was an uncountable number of shops, but Darcian took her to the one written on the signboard as ‘Happily Ever Gilbert’s Fancy Customizer.’
‘Weird name!’, thought Luciana.
Darcian opened the door and Luciana paced inside.
The room inside was painted with bright colors, red, green yellow. It was hurtful to watch those colours. Luciana tried her best to ignore those but wanted attention and successfully got it from her.
Darcian acted normal as if he was used to this.
“Gilbert!”, called Darcian.
There was no response, Darcian sighed heavily before saying, ”Don’t pull out a stupid prank. I got a customer for you. I want you to come from the door, ethically rather than trying to jumpscare me.
As soon as Darcian completed his question, he heard a thud from behind.
“AAHH, Oh My Gosh.”, Luciana cried out as a foreign creature jumped on top of her.
“OH, s**t!”, exclaimed Gilbert still sitting on top of her. “I am sorry miss.”
“Stand up you fool, apolizing won’t help if you're just on top of her.”, Darcian blurted, and Gilbert showed an instant reaction by jumping out.
Whereas Luciana felt herself to be a rolled dough, ready to be shaped into a cinnamon roll.
“Are you okay?”, she heard Darcian's voice, instead of concern, he was on the verge of bursting out in laughter. Luciana didn’t speak but rather lifted her thumb in an okay sign. But she felt her hand to be caught up by another hand, which pulled her.
Luciana's sudden change in motion from rest caused her to lose balance and she fell straight on Gilbert’s chest.
“Oh darling, I don’t take such action for granted but as it’s you, I am surely pleased.”, replied Gilbert shamelessly. But Darcian immediately pulled her out of him and stood her beside him.
“We are here for business, don’t waste my time. Bring your measuring tape, I want you to design a dress that is suited for the night of the full moon.”, said Darcian.
Gilbert tenaciously raised his bro on the mention of full moon night, but soon subtle his reaction.
A smile broke on his face as he spoke to Luciana, “What kind of dress do you want?”
Luciana looked at Darcian with no answer to his question.
‘Why would you want a dress for me?’
Darcian didn’t reply to her but instead bypassed her question.
“She is quite uneducated in that field. I want any dress with Red. Anything is fine as long as it’s beautiful.”
Nodding his head, Gilbert went inside to bring his measuring tape.

After measurement, and some useless talk with Gilbert, both of them came out of his shop and proceeded to the next stall.
“Happily ever Gilbert’s Customizer, why this name?”, Luciana asked Darcian as curiosity took over, a second time looking at the sign board.
“Gilbert is always happy. Rather than be any occasion. Party, funeral, in pain, etc.”, Darcian replied and further continued, “Just the opposite of Azel.”
“And the dress, why?”
“I have an abundant amount of money, I just wanted to waste it on someone.”, Darcian replied casually.
But Luciana was not a fool to believe it.
The duo secondly reached a restaurant after several steps.
“You hungry?”, asked Darcian.
“Very much.”, replied Luciana.
Then you should not miss the exquisite food of this restaurant.
Luciana read the sign board and read out, “Dancing Dine”
The first thing that happened in the restaurant was getting greeted by a dancing manager.
Luciana was both shocked and amused by the manager's behaviour.
"Welcome~"
The booty of the manager moved along with his rhythm.
Luciana awkwardly bowed and took a seat.
A dancing waiter came by to take their orders.
"This place is weird.", Commented Luciana. "Don't tell me every worker in the restaurant are dancing freak?"
"Yes, they are. Even the chef. But that doesn't affect the quality of the food. I promise you, you will be delighted.", replied Darcian.
"If we eat here, what will Stella eat?"
"We will pack for her. As simple as that."
After a few minutes, another dancing waitress came playing with the water glass, and finally and perfectly placed them on the place.
"Mr. Darcian, it's been a long time since you came here.", said the waitress swinging her hips.
It was kind of awkward for Luciana, as the waitress seemed to be, Ahem!, kind of flirty with him.
"Yeah, I was busy with some business.", replied Darcian, "Meet her, that's Luciana."
The waitress turned her head to look at Luciana.
Luciana expected the waitress to ignore her, (Typical in romance movies), but unexpectedly, the waitress smiled and instead flirted with Luciana.
"Hi~
"Lucy~", said the waitress approaching her.
"Are you new here?",
"Yes.", Luciana replied nodding her head.
"Oh! great!!", exclaimed the waitress. "The newcomers are given a free meal at our restaurant. And pretty ladies too get some other exclusive benefits.", said the waitress winking at her and leaving the place while swaying her hips with some inaudible beat.
Luciana was stunned for a moment.
'Pretty Lady.'
No one ever called her that.
"Is she your mate?", questioned Darcian.
Luciana glared at him before replying, "Yes, and I am jealous she flirted with you."
After a pause, she exclaimed, "Stay. Away. From. My. Mate!"
The statement was enough to make Darcian laugh
