Chapter 29: INTO THE FREKI MANSION

CONRI’S POV

I regretted picking up the call when Lil Pup called me and stirred up my emotions. I tossed and turned in bed hours later as Dolf huffed in frustration.

"Why do you keep pushing him away?" Dolf complained. I did not have an answer except for fear. I was afraid that he would get too close to me and he would see how hurt and vulnerable I was. I willed my body to sleep, but an hour later, I gave up and went for a run. The chilly mountain air hit Dolf’s nostrils as the snow on the ground picked up. After running for hours, we made our way back by the river bank and Tizheruk must have sensed our presence as it got out of the water.

"It seems you lack sleep and plan to disturb everyone on the mountain," it spoke. Dolf snarled at it, and I shifted back into my human form.

"Who is everyone on the mountain? I have news for you. I will leave the mountain soon, "I stated in a huff.

"About time." The Tizheruk snickered.

"I expected you to object" I stared at it in surprise.

"The gods did not set your destiny on these mountains. It awaits you elsewhere. "

"Should I decipher your words or just listen?" I muttered.

"You will be a great Alpha ’’ It spoke and got into the water.

"Hey wait. What about you?" I yelled, but the damn serpent never came out of the water. Walking back to the cabin, the fog had already picked up, and the place was covered with it. By the time I got under the covers, my body was tired and sleep took over in minutes.

The sounds of birds chirping and the rays of the sun hitting my bed woke me up. I had overslept. I turned to the clock on the wall and the time read ten am. I knew that the lil’ pup was affecting my life, considering all the changes that were happening around me. I had gotten used to living by myself self. How the fuck was I going to share a living space with him?"

I got out of bed and distracted myself by cleaning the house and the yard. An hour later, I took a shower, dressed up, and left the cabin after taking a small meal. Trekking down the mountain, the sun picked up, and the snow was melting. The wet ground slowed my pace, but the fresh mountain air was a welcoming feat.

I took the path by the Freki lands and discovered that I was enjoying the scenery. The place was beautiful, and the land was vast. My mind visualized how ideal the resort would turn out and the view of the mountains would be exhilarating. I stood by the edge of the forest as the view of the Freki mansion came into sight. Memories of the first time I met Odwolf Freki before I was exiled made me smile. He was as rebellious as Lucian and the feeling of his dislike of Lobo Aria was evident.

From the view from where I stood, I noted that the Mansion had large windows with asymmetric designs. The architectural design aimed for natural lighting in the mansion complimented by unique large sliding doors. I loved how the design was built on modern architecture.

I slowly approached the mansion and realized that, based on the foundation, there was something else underneath the house. I looked around and realized that they must have built a bunker or safe house beneath the mansion. The mixture of wood and stone in the architecture of the house made me realize that Odwolf Freki chose functionality for comfort.

I walked towards the patio area that had been modernized and set up to give the person seated on it a view of the mountains and the forest. The patio furniture had thrown pillows that made it look so cozy and realized Lucian spent lots of time maintaining the look.

I was sure the furniture wood came from Benjamin Timbers and was so engrossed in checking out the designs when I heard the sliding doors slide open and Lucian walked out of the house.

The furniture build made me realize that As I admired the furniture, I noted the wood came from the Benjamin timbers. I was so engrossed in admiration when I heard the back door sliding open and Lucian walked out. He was dressed casually, but I nodded that his feet were bare.

" Conri" He grinned and my name coming from his mouth sounded like a sinful declaration.

"I was admiring the mansion," I explained awkwardly and walked up the patio.

"Come in," Lucian stated and walked back into the house. I hesitated and stood at the door, but Lucian walked back to the door and pulled me in. He closed the sliding doors and then grinned ’ Welcome to my home"

We walked to the living room, and the entrance of the mansion came into view. They built it with a sweeping staircase, high ceilings, and intricate details that gave a sense of modernized housing. The interior decor was simple and posh. I smiled as I walked to the fireplace, which was made of brick and metal, offering a relaxing ambiance. It extended underneath, heating the whole living room.

"Take your time. I will be in the kitchen. "Lucian nodded and disappeared.

I took my shoes off and placed them by the exit of the back door. I walked back into the living room and ran my hand off the wooden dining table that had Benjamin’s signature on it. I guessed that the house had a pool, a relaxing bar, an outdoor area, walking paths, and a garage. I stood by the large windows and looked out into the foyer and entrance of the mansion. Lucian walked back in, carrying plates, and set the table.

"Can I help with anything?" I asked him.

"Have a seat," He said and then disappeared again in the kitchen. I walked to the dining table and stood in waiting. He came back carrying two dishes and placed them on the table.

"I made lunch," He informed me.

I nodded and pulled the chair to sit down. " Don’t you have a cook?"

"I gave her an off. I guessed you would not be comfortable with a stranger around" Lucian chuckled and went back to the kitchen. Two minutes later, he had set up the food, drinks, and fruits on the table.

"Relax Conri," He teased as he served the food on my plate.

"Over the last twenty years, you are the only one who has cooked for me," I murmured as I picked up the fork and began to eat.

"You dont say?" Lucian laughed. "I am humbled and honored"

We had the meal in silence, and I helped Lucian clear the table as we took the plates to the kitchen. I was wowed by the open-concept places with tall ceilings, long countertops, and cleverly designed storage solutions that mitigate any signs of clutter.

"You seem intrigued," Lucian said as he placed the plates in the sink.

"Your mansion is beautiful, Lucian," I confessed. " A work of art"

"Pa put a lot of effort into it. "Lucian nodded.

"May I ask, please?" I pressed on.

"Sure. Go ahead, "Lucian stated as he took the glasses from my hands.

"There is a bunker or a safe house underneath, right?"

He turned to look at me in shock. " How the fuck did you know? I only discovered it recently"

"The backyard foundation tells me there is a bunker underneath. Just one look at it and I guessed right," I smiled.

Lucian’s eyes widened as he put the glasses in the sink and then walked over to look up at me. "Conri, do you know that your smile is a weapon? How am I supposed to resist when you are this handsome?"

"How is this my fault?" I chuckled and looked away in embarrassment. Lucian laced my hands with his and pulled me back into the living room. We sat down and he faced me. " Conri, I know that I come off as shameless and a playboy to you."

"Why the fuck are you explaining yourself to me? Do you think that I need to hear it? I am here already and accepted the marriage contract right," I snapped at him.

He remained calm as he looked deep into my eyes. " I like you," He stated firmly.

Those three words hit my body like a raging fire.

"You like me?" I whispered in shock.

Lucian moved closer and pressed his lips to mine. Slow at first and then the kiss ignited a fire in my core and I responded. Slowly at first and then need took over, and we kissed like starved wolves. Lucian moaned, and his fingers racked through my hair. I pulled him closer, and he pressed his body closer.

The loud ring of a bell made us pull apart.

"Fuck," Lucian cursed while I stood up from the couch.

"You expecting someone" I rasped and ran my fingers through my locks.

"Stallone men’s suits store was sending someone with the suits for our engagement. Did Godmother not tell you?

I shook my head in disbelief. "No, she did not. It seems she’d rather talk to you"

"Don’t be jealous. I am so glad I have a new family." I placed an arm on his shoulder.

"Go and open the door," I snapped dismissively at him while walking to the back of the house. I needed to breathe and will my cock to behave.

Ten minutes later, Lucian’s voice reached my ears. " Come in. Your suit awaits you"

I walked over and demanded, "Do I have to?"

"Yes. I want to shame the whole of Alaska and make you look good incredibly good," declared with a wink.

"You are too much Lucian Freki" I shook my head while he moved closer, lacing his hands in mine for the third time and stated ’ I am just enough for you Conri Dolf"
