Lycan's Rogue Mate

Chapter 11

Lucy's POV

Guess what day it is.

It's my wedding. Yes, its my freaking contract wedding day. I can't believe I'm getting married to no other than my suppose mate whom we lose contact of each other some months ago, too to one of hottest guys ever, and the one who is trying to get rid of his formal mate's memories through me.

In less than an hour, I'd say 'I do' to Benson. It feels like a dream, really. He hasn't told where we'd be going for honeymoon yet though.

Honeymoon? Yes I was also surprised when he mentioned it but he had explained to me that as the ideal loving couple that we pose as, it's only normal for us to go for a honeymoon.

But yes, he did mention we won't be doing anything 'silly' as he called it. He mentioned that he'd be managing his business from there and I could go shopping and sightseeing.

"Hey, Lucy. Are you ok?" Charissa (Blake sisiter) sked looking concerned. Oh God! I made them worry with my silly thoughts.

I'm looking forward to going wherever he wants to, so I don't mind enjoying my vacation on my own. I mean, who doesn't like exploring.

"Just shut up, Milka." Charissa replied clearly irritated by Milka's teasing.

"Yea, yea. I'm fine." I answered giving her a small smile.

"Thinking about the wedding night, huh?" Milka another of my distant cousin teased and I rolled my eyes. Like hell, there would be one.

"Charissa, oh Charissa! I'm gonna miss you, baby. Won't you miss me?" I cooed pulling her into a hug and she relaxed

"Milka please call Blake for me. I'd love to talk him before I leave." I said facing her. She was looking slightly upset but nodded anyways and left the room.

Despite being cousins and Charissa as Benson's sisters, Charissa and Milka are always arguing with each other. Maybe it's because they are both polars apart. While Milka is the type to talk so much, be playful and party all night long, Charissa is the total opposite. She is mature, conservative and talks only when really necessary.

In order to reduce the tension and argument that might start next , I did what I could.

"I'd miss you too." She pulled out of the hug and put her hands on my cheeks.

"I'd really do. It's not too late, Lucy. We could alter all these. Don't ruin your life like this, Lucy."

I sighed and went back to wearing my heels. "You just had to ruin the mood, didn't you?" I feigned annoyance and before she could reply, Blake interrupted us.

"Hey honey." He said , behind me. I turned around and he looked at me in awe.

"Oh gosh, baby, you look lovely." He remarked kissing me gently on my forehead. I smiled at him and he smiled back.

"I can't believe it. My little baby's grown so much and you'd be leaving me today."

"I'm not leaving you, Blake. I'd never leave you. I'd stay and live with you. Only you, Blake. " I replied as I began to sob.

He laughed a little.

"Yes, you'd be staying with me. Afterall, I'm the one who's fallen in love. The one who's getting married." He replied sarcastically.

If only you knew, Blake. I continued sobbing continuously in his chest. He pulled away and wiped my tears. What's funny is that I don't know why in crying.

"No, baby. No. Dont cry. I'm sorry. I was only joking." He replied getting emotional now.

"Don't cry, baby. I'm here. You aren't going far from me and I'd always be here everytime you need me baby and as for Benson, he won't even dare touch you. If he tries anything funny, kick him in the balls and come home to me." This statement caused me to laugh.

"Yea, that's it, my baby's millionaire dollar smile. I love you, baby." He cooed whilst pulling me into a hug and I hugged him just as tight.

Walking down the aisle, I still felt nervous but with my father by my side, I felt kinda relieved. Looking ahead, I saw Benson looking so hot in his black tuxedo. He's so hot and all mine

'For six months though' My silly subconscious reminded.

'Oh shut up. You just had to ruin my ogling moment'

Benson held his hand out and my father placed my hands in his. He gave me a peck on my cheek and whispered few words to Benson and he nodded with a small smile amd then made his way towards the congregation.

The officiating priest made us say our vows. Our vows wasn't said honestly though because we'd be dissolving these in six months. Please forgive me lord!

Immediately the priest said that, I felt getting internally excited. I wonder if he will even want to kiss me on the lips or the cheeks.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride now."

Just when i was still having an internal battle with myself, his mouth claimed mine and pulled me in for a long and passionate kiss. It was soft and slow as if taking his time. I moaned into the kiss and kissed him back with equal fervor.I felt my heart do somersault and suprisingly…. butterflies in my stomach.

Claps and voices asking us to stop brought me out of my thoughts and immediately, we both pulled away. I blushed profusely. I even had to use my hands to fan my cheeks a little. I was so embarrassed, not about the kiss though but of people's stares and tease. I couldn't even look at him.

The kiss was the best I've ever had. Not that it's my first kiss or anything. now I kind of wonder if Benson ever loved Maria, or was it just a show all of this time Just that, the ones I've had were quick 'dont let the teacher catch us' types. You know those silly urges that come with being with high school if you know what I mean.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I now present to you for the first time ever, mr and mrs Benson Taylor of our time." The priest announced and everyone cheered and applauded.

The reception was done in a very big hall. You could get lost easily. All the paths look the same. You'd think you're making your way to the hall whereas you are only going towards the exit.

I love my wedding. It's always been a wedding of my dreams. Somehow, without even knowing, the wedding arrangement and decorations were just the way I love them and had always wanted it to be.

The celebration went pretty good too. Except, having to smile too much ofcourse. Heck! I haven't smiled for that long in my entire life.

But there was someone who made me laugh as well, Benson best friend and his Beta Luke. I love him already. He's such a darling. He was behaving like I was his younger sister the entire time, he even started talking like Blake, telling Benson to take care of me and all that fatherly talks.

Despite knowing about the deal, he acted so natural with me. It was like he's known for a long time and good thing, he's a chatterbox like me, we'd get along well, that's for sure.

Though , the entire time Benson kept rolling his eyes and paid little or no attention to us at all. Luke's behaviour towards me only reminds of Ciara and I wish I could see her again, I went to the formal which she, Rebecca and I were working, but I found out that Ciara and Rebecca were no longer there. Infact Rebecca has moved to another city, while Rebecca was now married and has moved to the States.

Our first dance was so lovely. I loved it. I was really surprised by Benson's reaction when I told him that I couldn't dance.

" Dont worry, just follow my lead. Be with me." He gave me an encouraging smile and held my hand as he pulled me to the dance floor. I was in a daze. I just couldn't seem to take my eyes off him.

Before I know it, he had placed arms around my waists and I just did it naturally. It felt so natural dancing with him. He smiled at me and I smiled back. We both couldn't seem to wipe the smile off her faces.

I began to feel some unknown tingling and sensation run through my spine.

Cheering and applause brought us out of our daze and we immediately let go of each other.

"Never knew you could dance so well, wifey." Benson teased as we took our seats. I rolled my eyes but internally smiled. Hearing him call me his wifey himself made me smile.

'Haha'.

Mood's ruined.

It's finally time to leave, I just threw my bouquet and you can't imagine who took it. Luke.

"Exactly, wifey. You danced so well." Luke affirmed smiling at me. I smiled back.

Apparently, he was trying to hit on a girl and luckily or unfortunately for him, I threw the bouquet at the time. The reactions of the single ladies was something to laugh about over and over.

She hugged me too and whispered. "Tell him to go gentle on you." She then winked at me. For a moment, I didn't get her drift but then…. Oh my God, she's such a cheeky burger. I playfully glared at her and she just laughed.

"Take care of yourself, Lucy. I'll miss you, baby." Blake hugged me tight, and I could see the reaction from Benson. Next was Milka.

I hugged Charissa, Luke, and other members of Benson's and Blake's family, who acted yo be my family.

Benson took his turn in saying bye to everyone as well. Everyone kept waving and smiling as our car was driven out of the premises.

As we fastened our seatbelts, I couldn't help but think about what Luke had said while Lucy was hugging Blake and all her friends goodbye.

"You like her, don't you?" He whispered beside me. That statement brought me out of my daze. Even I didn't understand why but for some odd reason, I felt myself staring at Lucy almost the entire time, at the same time I was still thinking about Maria..will she come back or will Lucy help me forget about her for good this time around.

Earlier today, when the pastor had asked me to kiss my bride, I already decided against it but after gazing at her plum and inviting lips, I couldn't resist. Sue me!

Benson's POV

When Luke had made that statement, I couldn't respond. I just rolled my eyes in my response. He's right though. I'm acting like I'm smitten by her.

'Clearly, you are, Benson.' My subconscious had to notify.

Apparently, she isn't one of those girls who get smitten by my charms. I wonder if she even thinks I'm handsome.

I'm not the kind of man to resist a beautiful woman anyway but with this girl, Lucy whom I had met less than two months ago, I'm acting like a gentleman. Normally, by now I'd have bedded her and gotten her out of my system but I just wanted to leave her.

I looked over to her seat only to find her fast asleep. I smiled and unfastened my seatbelts. I unfastened hers before gently picking her up and taking her to my private cabin.

I dropped her gently and she snuggled into the pillows right away. These past few weeks that she's been with me, I find myself thinking less of Maria, but still hoping that she will come back one day.

Normally, the plan was supposed to be for her to just be my fake fiancee for few months so I could get the contract and also so that she could help me take care of my kids even though I have my Mom do that for me after which, we'd end this drama but somehow, I feel that she's my ticket torwards getting my mind off Maria, my supposed mate who was Lost or something like that.

Hopefully, now that I'm married, she'd be able to stay clear off me completely and then, I could probably finding move on completely. Her betrayal shook me up alot. It's the reason I became the i***t i am.

'Though it did help you get your way with ladies.' I smirked to myself at that. So true.

'Besides, I dont even go after them, they are the ones rushing me. All seeking for my attention.'

My kids like Lucy alot, and some I feel June is more attached to her than she was with Maria, or Maybe Lucy is God's gift for me after loosing my Mate. The last time we went over to Mom's place ,she was so ecstatic to meet 'the girl who tamed me, since she knows I only have eys for Maria, Even though a lot of girl flocks over me because of my good looks.

I really am hot and I know that.

By the time we landed, she was still sleeping like a baby, so like the baby that she is , I had to carry her to the car and to the hotel room.

After laying her on the bed, I went in to take a shower and coming out in my sweatpants,I realised that she was still sleeping. Is she a girl or a log?

I mean who sleeps that much anyway. It's like she is lifeless. I mean I've lifted her up thrice now and yet, she didn't even move. She must be so tired then.

Wait. What am I doing? Why am I even staring at her? They are all the same. What if she got married for the sake of my kids and also the money I wanted to pay? She's still the one.

I laid beside her and she immediately snuggled into me which caused me to smile. I wrapped my arm around her and closed my eyes and before I knew it, darkness enveloped me.

Lucy's POV

The sunrays was disrupting my sweet sleep and I had turn my face to the other side. Opening my eyes, I'm met with unfamiliar walls. Where the hell am I?

I couldn't seem to understand anything until I looked down and I saw my wedding dress and then I remembered everything. My wedding. Honeymoon plans. Boarding the flight and….. that's all.

I almost let out a scream when I felt a hand wrap around me but then I recognized the familiar scent. Benson.

He was still sleeping, yet, pulling me closer at the same time. I chuckled quietly and then removed my hand gently but he turned and held it tighter and by then, I was able to see his chest. Jesus!

He's got biceps and a well built body.

"I…. I… uhm." I couldn't seem to get a word out. Great. Way to go!

I wanted to touch his hair but somehow, I felt scared that it might wake him up but it seems that my hands had plans of their own. I began to fiddle and caress his hair gently. He smiled and I quickly removed my hand.

"Why did you remove your hand?" He asked with amusement in his eyes.

Where are we?

"You… uhm… what?" He teased. I rolled my eyes and got up.

I'm really silly but hold up, did he say on vacation in Paris, freaking Paris?

"Paris"

Did I say that out loud?

"Yes, you did."

"Yea." He shrugged.

"Paris?"

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. My dream destination. I almost can't believe this . It's Paris

"Thank you." I replied grinning from ear to ear.

He was about to say something but his phone rung and he excused himself. I rushed to the windows and the view from here alone was breathtaking. Get ready, Paris. Lucy is here.

How do you react when your supposed mate whom you lost some months ago, is in front of you? Or how do you feel when you have to be on a contract marriage with the one whom your heart yearns for? Well all these questions will definitely have an answer when I am finally sure that Benson loves Maria, and he never wanted to hurt her in any way. Especially when they have been invading your dreams.

I suddenly lost my confidence. I'm short of words. I hope I succeed in this interview. I can't lose this chance. I need the money and I also have to hide my identity… from him.

I quickly composed myself and walked towards him, and in turn he gestured for me to have a seat across from him.

"Introduce yourself," he said without looking up from his paper.

"I'm Lucy Brianston . I'm a graduate from The University of British Columbia, in Vancouver BC. I studied Computer Science, and I also have a Master degree in Cyber security and I-"

"I've already seen all of that. Which position have you come to apply for?" He said, interrupting me as if saying 'you talk too much'.

"Well….if you don't mind, I can could in your company as a Cyber security personnel, i thought." I said, trying to sound confident, and not show that I was talking a lie about my qualifications

"I've worked as a one of the security personnel in the control room at a firm and I also worked as an undercover agent for a popular organization in Minnesota for about two years. "

"An uncover agent."

"What are your past qualifications - where have you worked?"

"And do you think I'll be giving the job to you, I mean this isn't just some Spy company and I have to know if you are not also an insider from another company to come spy on my works."

Being honest with myself, I feel offended. What does he mean by calling me a spy? He's probably trying to get a reaction from me.

"Well, you've got the job."

Really, that was so easy but then again, I got the job!

I breathed deeply and said "Sir, I have the business sense, charisma, and intelligence to do this job. That's why I applied, Sir."

I walked out of the building with a big smile on my face

"Yes, Sir. Thank you again!"

As with before, he gave a stern nod.

He gave me a stern nod and continued "You start tomorrow, Ms. Brianston. Be aware, I won't stand for tardiness. Be here at eight." He said, with serious tone.

"Thank you so much, Sir! God bless you. I really appreciate it and I promise that you won't regret this decision." I said, almost jumping with joy.
