Ruthless Mate - Chapter 27: Chapter 27

He was in the packhouse in his study when he opened the live cameras to check on her. He saw her going into his study. He narrowed his eyes at the screen. How did she get the keys?
He opened the other screen where she was rummaging through the drawer and she found her phone. So, she was looking for her phone.
Anger surged in, when he saw her going through his important files. He knew very well what was in those files. He always kept his mafia-related files in the study back at the mansion and right now she was going through his stuff.
Was she gaining Intel on him so she could pass the information to her father? He was pissed. This explains why all of a sudden she wanted to give them a chance because she needed time to collect info to help her father.
He felt enraged as he hurried back home. He was angry at her. But she looked so timid and scared as if he would yell at her and she would faint. His eyes snared her luscious trembling lips and he was unable to stop himself. His wolf was losing control.
And when she kissed him back, he lost it. His wolf surged forward urging him to mark her but he controlled himself.
He stared at her and their gaze collided. She inhaled sharply as her small hands rested on his chest and she tried to get out of his grasp, at that moment he realized she was crushing her small frame to his chest. He softly loosened his hold enough for her to stand on her feet again but he didn't let her go.
His eyes on their own fell on her cherry lips which tasted like strawberries. They were swollen and looked a lot more tempting, urging him to claim them again.
"What were you doing in my study?" He asked calmly, trying to focus himself back on the situation.
"I..." She gulped, wetting her dry throat.
"I w...was looking for my p...phone. I.. I. Just wanted to talk to my sister-in-law, she's going to deliver a b...baby soon, I want to talk to my sister and tell her to decorate the baby's room. I j...just..." She sealed her mouth shut and dropped her gaze when she found his narrowed eyes at her.
Her hands were on his biceps as she struggled to get out of his hold but he wouldn't budge.
"Why did you go through my files?" His voice was cold this time, recalling those files a shiver ran down her spine.
"A...are you i...involved in m...mafia?" She asked innocently with glassy eyes as she peeked at him through the thick curtain of her lashes.
"W...what if I am?" He asked with a cocked brow.
"I'll r...request you to leave it," She whispered and he was simply stunned by her naivety.
He moved his hand and placed it on the side of her neck before sliding it to the nape of her neck as he jerked her closer, her eyes widened at the dominating gesture.
"And you think I'll listen to you?" He rasped coolly, there was mirth lacing his deep voice.
"You can try to listen to me, it's not that hard." She mumbled and a deep throaty chuckle escaped his lips as he leaned down placing his forehead against hers, his eyes closed as he breathed in deeply.
He can chuckle. She gulped.
"I'm the King of the mafia in this continent. Not only werewolves, even humans fear me." He said. She had her eyes closed as well as she listened to him.
"Then I'll presume you're a good King, if not, you can still become good." She whispered as he moved back, not retreating his hand. His eyelids opened hazily as he peered at his little mate.
"Why do you think I'm good?" He queried as she stared at his chest.
"Because you want everyone to know that you're bad. The bad people always show how good people they are but you do the opposite," She mumbled and he looked at her vehemently.
What an intelligent little mate he has.
"I don't know what you're trying to do but if I find you being a snitch. You don't even want to know how I treat my prisoners," He said calmly but his hold on her nape tightened enough to deliver his threat to every cell in her body.
Letting go of her he stepped away. Once he left the room she breathed in deeply and collapsed on the bed as she held her head in her hands.
What just happened?
She touched her lips with her fingertips. They were swollen, she could still feel his lips on hers.
Her first kiss.
Red crept through her cheeks and then she abruptly stood up straight when the door opened. Draken stood at the door as he tossed the charger on the bed before closing the door and leaving.
She stared at the charger and a wide smile graced her lips as she instantly plugged it into her phone and let it charge. It seemed as if he was giving her a chance.
She felt giddy. She couldn't wait to talk to everyone back home. She hoped her mom was fine.
Aurora made dinner and like yesterday Draken didn't come on time so she ate her food and set the table for him.
She retired back to her room as she called Rasmus again. She had talked to them nonstop and she was glad to hear that everyone was fine. Cath was also doing great.
Aurora fell asleep late at night.
Draken was back home late as he had his dinner alone and retired back to his room.
He woke up with a wildly beating heart as sweat glistened on his forehead.
He breathed in deeply several times and rubbed his forehead. Pushing the sheets away he got out of bed. He stood in front of her door for a minute before he opened it and walked inside.
He saw her delicate frame on the huge bed. The black strands of her hair caressed her face. So f*cking beautiful.
He breathed in sharply as he stepped to her side. Moving the blanket away he snaked his veiny arms under her and picked her up effortlessly in his arms, careful enough not to wake her up.
He left her room and walked to his room.
Laying her down gently on his bed, he lay beside her facing her. Resting his head on his palm he gazed at his mate.
