She Doesn't Care

Chapter 24: Content

Delphi's POV

I stood there stupefied. The sparkling white sheet in my hand barring it's teeth at me, taunting me.

"Where did you get this?" I asked, the question holding the answers to the expression Sylvester harboured.

"These were found in Merlyn's room while investigation a few days back. When you defined what the stamp looked like, my mind immediately went to this but I didn't want to jump to conclusions." He muttered, still standing as I sat in utter disbelief.

When I had dialed his number I hadn't expected him to come knocking at my door immediately but that's what he did. But for entirely different reasons.

He had shoved a sheet of paper which held the stamp of the hoodlums in the corner. I hadn't said anything for quite a while because I couldn't understand how Sylvester had got his hand on such information.

It was a half ownership contract and it did hold the signature of the infamous Merlyn Chain.

"Where is she?" I demanded, I could see red. She was the head of an organisation that took away my brother, my twin.

I didn't know how she had come to know about my connection with The Hoodlums but I was sure she had something to do with them locating me so soon. It hadn't even been a year. Ethan had spent his last days pulling all kinds of strings just to give me more time. And to see it all come down to a she wolf and her jealousy made me angry beyond words.

"Look, Delphi. We need to plan things out." I would have seen sense in what he was saying under different circumstances but right then my mind was clouded with thoughts of murder. I wanted her dead. I wanted her to pay for what she had cost me, of what she had robbed me of.

"Stop defending her." I spat at him, jealousy playing a major role in my reaction.

"You know I'm not defending her, I want her to pay as much as you do but we have to be careful. It is not safe." He reasoned holding my hand to his chest. I took deep breaths and looked up at him again.

"I'm sorry. I'm just, I'm just overwhelmed." I concluded, shifting away from his warmth.

"That's okay, we'll figure this out, don't worry. I'm here now." His reassurance had magically brought a blanket of safety with itself and I wasn't tense any more.

"You don't have to bring yourself into this." I murmured reluctantly, I wanted nothing more than for him to just stay with me much to my dissent before.

"I want to be no where else but with you." He had replied with compassion. Compassion his voice held from day one but had only mattered to me now.

"I'm sorry for the way I had reacted before. You had the right to know and I didn't tell you, I shouldn't have responded to your curiosity in that way." I apologised in a low voice, knowing my wrong.

"Anyone would have reacted the way you did, Delphi. You shouldn't be the one apologising. I was the one who went around sneaking into your personal life." The morning had turned out to be quiet and I could only hear his sweet words that held so much of passion.

I stayed speechless at his modest behaviour and looked into his grey eyes.
His normally icy eyes had a new kind of a warmth in them and unknowingly I had leaned forward to get a better look at the man I think I could get used to loving.

The world stilled around us. He looked hesitant to start anything and for a moment I thought I was being too straight forward. But a mates pull can be resisted only to a certain extent. If I was being honest with myself, I would've realised it wasn't the mate bond that was attracting me, it was the new one I had created.
We were close, so close that I could feel his breath on my cheek.

His eyes dropped to my lips as he brought his thumb to trace them.
Feeling conscious under the attention my tongue swipped itself across the surface of my lips, softly brushing against his thumb. I felt him shiver and come closer.

His lips hovered over mine as we breathed the same air. He looked up into my eyes and gave me time to pull back, to slow things down. And when I didn't move away he made our lips touch, what a feeling it was.

Sweet passion filled my senses as he narrated a tale with no words. He didn't make any attempt to fasten the pace but just moved his lips against mine in sync. I had kissed him before but this was a different feeling all together. It wasn't only because of my wolf urging me to shove him to a bed but me wanting to be with him.

The perfection of a single kiss cannot be understood by an outsider who hasn't met the one.

We broke apart only to bring our foreheads together as he pressed a soft kiss on my nose. After a few more stolen kisses, we separated.

He was smiling like no tomorrow and I couldn't help but let a smile break through my lips as well.
The worries of the world vanished into oblivion.

But after a while I could sense hesitation in his actions.
"What is it?" I questioned.

"Don't interrupt me, okay?" He muttered, still kneeling before me as I sat on the sofa.

I frowned but nodded anyway.
"I've made countless mistakes, I know I have. Some ones rather unforgettable but I see you all over my future. And I understand if you don't see me. I never meant for all of this to turn out in such a huge mess. I can't promise to make no mistakes in the future but I can give you my word that I'll work all my life to make you happy."

"I had given up on the idea of ever having a mate but you have shown me countless reasons to curse my impatience. I love you with my entire being, and I hope you accept me so I can try to give you the love you deserve." Tears were rolling down my cheeks forming a stream of saltines.

His words held the emotions that could melt Hitler and the truth that would make Pinocchio's nose become a twig from a branch.
Over time I had come to forgive him and close to falling in love with him too.

"I, Delphi Lillian Westworld, accept you, Sylvester Samuel Kingsley, as my mate and my Alpha." I spoke the words sealing our life together.

"I thought I'd never see this day." Both our heads turned to the direction of my mum sniffing into my dad's shoulder and him having a knowning smile.

"Alpha." They both said in respect as Sylvester stood from his kneeling position and pulled me along with him.

I looked up to see him and almost missed the red tinge on his cheek and I fought my laughter to save him further embarrassment.

"I'll be in my room." I informed tugging a stiff Sylvester after me.
"Don't do anything with our daughter, Alpha." My dad added making Sylvester's cheek become even more red.

I didn't even wait to enter my room as I started rolling on the floor laughing.
"The mi-mighty A-Alpha blushes." I exclaimed between laughs.

"Oh, you." He tickled my sides making me surrender almost immediately.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I squeaked trying to squeeze out of his hold as he mercilessly tickled my sides.

"Are you now?"
"Yes, yes!" I squeaked pushing him off me.
We both lay on the bed side by side and looked up at the ceiling, both contemplating the future.

And even through the all the laughter, I couldn't help but notice the feeling of content. I felt complete.

"I have a question, Sylvester." I stated.
"What is it?" He twisted to face me brushing few strands of my hair out of my face.

"Why did you continue to date Merlyn?" This question had bugged me since I had dialed his number.

"I had given up on ever finding you, a horrible decision and I didn't date her. I just used to hang around her as she didn't mind, I stopped my feelings for her when I came to know that she wasn't my mate and even though I didn't find you, she would find her mate. And I didn't want to come in between that. I didn't do anything with her which she didn't agree to though."

My understanding of him kept stepping up with every word he said.
