Enigma of Darkness ✨

What am I doing here?

Seeing Lucian bubbling in anger, Araki refrains from teasing him further and steps back. He had not expected to meet Lucian as soon as he reached the office, yet having him act all awkward while standing in front of the elevator was refreshing.

He folds his arms over his chest and observes as Lucian sighs in relief. Araki could see Lucian mustering up all his strength and frustration to get back to him.

He patiently waits for it and as soon as Lucian opens his mouth to say a word, Araki gestures him to stop.

Lucian frowns, his breath getting stuck in his throat being asked to wait like that. Araki leisurely types something on his phone. Lucian waits patiently, counting numbers in his brain, letting this true blood complete his task.

The elevator bell rings, followed by the opening of the door. Lucian was pleased. If not taken out his anger, he could at least get rid of this person. He was ready to leave. He sees Keon rush in front of the elevator.

Keon did not seem to be happy. He forced a smile and greeted his brother, handing Lucian some documents. He hurriedly says. "Take this to brother's office. I am very busy."

There was a pause in his sentence and a plea in his eyes directed towards Araki, but the true blood was not fazed by it.

Lucian's frown deepens, glancing at the documents and then at Keon, he shouts, "Why should I do this?"

The elevator closes, making his words crush and fall on the floor. Araki smiles and goes back to looking at his phone.

Lucian turns to him, still not satisfied. "Why didn't he just hand it over to you?" He asks Araki who was still busy on the phone.

He waits for an answer. Araki does not spare him a glance. He was focused on his phone. Getting no response and growing impatient, Lucian becomes curious.

He wanted to know what is so important that he could not get a simple reply and an urge to peek on the phone becomes intense.

Lucian unknowingly leans towards Araki, eyes traveling towards the screen slowly, eyebrows rising, wanting to get a view of the screen.

A smile crosses true blood alpha's lips.

There was a very relaxing and homely presence in his mate's scent. Even the shampoo he used seemed to have a pleasant fragrance. Araki's view was slowly getting cut by the black, lustrous hair.

He does not say a word, instead opens the messaging app and clicks on Lucian's profile. His fingers work faster as he clicks on an audio message.

Lucian's drunk voice echoes in the elevator. The poor alpha gapes, his face pales, and his body almost loses balance, hearing his drunk rambling.

He looks up bitterly at Araki, wanting to claw that smug face of true blood. Araki increases the volume making Lucian hiss in embarrassment.

He stutters, "You..You give me your phone." and tries to snatch the phone from Araki.

Araki effortlessly succeeds to aggravate Lucian, again in a short span. Lucian in this moment, was like a bee buzzing around him, asking him to delete the audio, threatening and attacking him. It was immensely amusing for Araki.

The elevator reaches its final destination. Its door opens, making the receptionist alert. She stands up to greet Araki like her daily routine. Her greeting slows down as she sees the scene in front.
