Even though she tricked me and I hated it,
I had somehow ended up seeing her every day.
The way she moved.
The way she sang.
Even when she looked at me,
She hooked me into wanting her.
Sleeping did nothing but provide me with images of her.
Her...
I walked with Shin by my side, thinking about the deal I just made with the Sakamaki's. Of course, I was reluctant but at the same time, ended up doing it for Mao. Maybe Lucy would be happy if I told her. I wasn't sure. The way she looked when I left had been full of despondency.
As soon as I walked inside the mansion, Lucy's scent seemed faint. Mao's scent as well. I looked at Shin who seemed to notice as well. "Machi!" Machi ran down the stairs and bowed to me.
"Yes master"
"Where are Lucy and Mao?"
"She left a note saying that the two will be back." Shin arched a brow.
"Did something seem off about her?"
"Some of the things in the baby room are missing but I expect it to be normal." Something wasn't right.
"What about Lucy, are some of her things gone?" Machi's eyes widened.
"Yeah, a lot of things were" I felt my blood boil. Did she really think she could leave without me catching her?
"I will be back, Shin I need you to come with me." He nodded before he changed into his other form while I called out my wolves.

Lucy's P.O.V
I looked at the pack of bubbles and began to think. Mao really loved them but it took a while to find them. I sighed before I grabbed it and brought it to the register. "That will be $2.50." I grabbed the money and paid him. A sudden emotion filled me causing me to gasp. Fear and anger, mostly anger. He knew he must have known. Carla found out that I left. The cashier handed me the bag and I thanked him before I snuck out of the store, deciding to take the alleyway to the train station.
As soon as I did I heard wolves I knew that I had no choice but to run. When I did I heard the wolves come closer and my fear rise. Mao started to wine and I knew I had no choice to stop soon but the train station had been so close. This was the only chance that we had of a better and happier life. If only she could wait. She didn't stop and I felt my eyes began to water. "Please Mao, please wait for a little longer." I had to stop, if I didn't it would only frustrate Mao more. I stopped and looked at her to see her with a frightened expression making my heartache. I was selfish, I hurt her, I didn't mean to but I did. I couldn't help but sob while I held her close to me. "Mao, I'm sorry, mama is so sorry for scaring you."
"You had enough running huh?" I wasn't surprised. Why should I be?
"Carla" I turned around to see Shin and Carla, alongside them, wolves.
"Do you plan on running anymore?" I shook my head.
"No, for Mao's sake I cannot. So please if you plan on doing anything, please do not do it to the point where she would cry in fear nor will she not be happy. " The two's eyes widened and Carla put away his wolves.
"Shin inform the maids that we will be returning soon. Lucy, hand me, Mao." I looked at her before I looked at Carla.
"Carla-kun"
"What are my orders?" I slowly nodded and looked at Mao.
"Papa wants to see you." I smiled at her before I handed her to him. Hearing her start to cry made my heart tear but I knew Carla holding her was his way of trying to get her used to him, which she wasn't. She soon calmed down before we started to leave.
