What About Last Night?

Stephanie POV

The man looked at me for a while before he looked ahead of me. I also looked at them and wondered why they can't just let me be.

Just as I wanted to tell him that I don't know them, I saw him bow. I was shocked at first and I wondered how he knew the dragons.

"I'm done with the meals," he said. The aroma of his food filled the whole place and my stomach reminded me that it was empty and I needed to fill it.

That was when realization was done on me that I had walked into my strange mate camp. While I was trying to avoid them, I still walked with my legs to their camp. I bit my lower lip in regret but I didn't want to leave. The aroma of the food was just too much to resist for me to leave.

"Feed the woman first," Davies said as if he knew I was hungry and walked away.

I wondered if he could read minds or I was too obvious that I was already salivating at the aroma of the food I didn't even know. The guy standing was looking at me strangely.

He must have been wondering where his boss got a woman. Well, I wasn't ready to get entangled with them and I've got my pride too. I wouldn't want them to see me as a freeloader.

Moreover, I don't even know what Lycans feed on. They might have cooked humans for dinner, but I wasn't interested.

"I'm not interested," I said bluntly and turned to leave.

" You can't leave, " the guy said to me firmly.

I frowned at him for using that time with me. " Why? " I retorted.

"Because my...... My boss asked me to feed you. You can only leave if he says so," he said with a serious look.

I didn't know what was wrong with him. He was acting like I was some hostage. I was really angry and I so much wanted to give him a piece of my mind.

"Look here Mr-whatever your name is. Davies didn't capture me. In fact, I am his savior and I can leave at any will. I'm not interested in your food and I am not your captive!" I shouted at him not minding that my voice rang out in the wee hours of the morning.

The guy gave me a mocking look when I said I saved him. He didn't believe me and that got me more angry.

"You saved him?" He asked in disdain.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself, " I said between gritted teeth.

What a prideful servant! I was almost exploding with anger. How could he think I was lying? Is Davies some kind of an almighty deity that can't be saved?

"Jason, don't get the poor lady worked up. She's my benefactor and she should be treated well," I heard Davies's thick voice.

It was then I noticed that he was already standing before me in a new pair of clothes. How swift was that?

Looking at him in his pair of shorts and a round neck, he looked like a normal young man. Who could ever guess that he's a Lycan. He was looking so clean and handsome, he could have been mistaken for a rich billionaire in his house clothes.

"I'm sorry Sir, I was only persuading her to stay," the guy called Jason said.

Liar! I didn't know when he was persuading me and I rolled my eyes.

"Even if you want to starve yourself, can you just pity the little one inside you?" Davies said bluntly.

He seemed to be tired of my rebuffing. Why did he get tired so easily? The one who had promised to take care of me. I should have known that he couldn't be trusted.

What he said gave me a guilty conscience. I knew that I shouldn't be suffering the innocent pup. He didn't know anything about what was going on around me and I still blame myself for bringing him into the world.

If I hadn't gone to look for those pups, I might not have encountered the heartless Gregory, making me leave my pack. I even got myself in the same situation twice!

I still find it hard to believe that I slept with Davies too and now I got myself pregnant. I unconsciously looked at my stomach and rubbed my hands gently on it. It still baffles me how Davies got to know about the pregnancy when I didn't know.

"Fine, I would eat and stay for the night but I'll leave at first light of the day," I said plainly.

Davies didn't say anything, he just went to the table that Jason was already setting. Seeing all the meals that were placed before him, I wondered where it came from.

The food wasn't really what I expected. They were normal dishes that we even ate. I was actually expecting human hands or heads but it wasn't.

I wasn't surprised by the meat but the remaining recipes of the food. The table was like it was for a King. Looking at the dishware, I know expensive dishes when I see them. It was never something to be expected to be seen in the hands of people who camped in the bush. It was too luxurious.

Looking at him running from Seekers, he and his men must have stolen it from them. I was very sure that they can't afford such dishware.

We all were in silence when Jason decided to speak.

"Sir, did you chase the Seekers away?" He asked.

Davies took a sip of water before he replied with a complicated look. It was as if he was trying to hide something and at the same time, he was trying to contain his anger.

I think the former worked because I saw a faint smile on his face as he spoke, nonchalantly.

"Those Seekers were tough and I almost got into trouble but was saved by this little woman. ," he replied, giving me a brief look.

I gritted my teeth at him for calling me little but he gave me an indifferent look. What an ungrateful man he was. Did he forget what I went through all through the night?

This man ravaged me as if he had been sex starved since he became a man and he dared call me little? I glared at him, clutching my fork tightly.

"If you had allowed me to kill them......" Kilan, who hasn't said anything since we got into the camp, started to say but Davies interrupted him.

"You are not killing anyone Kilan," he warned.

" But Sir, if they find us, they will-" Kilan complained.

One look from Davies made him shut up while wearing a grumbling look. There was this displeased look on Kilian’s face that made me think that he must like killing just like his name. I could feel that Davies was trying to hide something from me.

Well, it's not my business because I would be leaving them soon.

" I know what they want. I will sort them out at the right time. Let's just avoid them for now, their death time is not now," Davies said as he put a slice of meat in his mouth.

Thinking back to the words of the Seekers of last night, could it be that they want Davies to mate with one of their females?

But why?

The Seekers always hunt Lycans to own them. Knowing how powerful they are, and the magic they can weld, they can be very useful. But then the Seekers had been looking for the Lycan King who was said to be a monstrous hybrid. If the King can be tamed, then every other Lycan would be under subjection.

According to history, the Lycan King was a brute and before they could move close to him, hundreds of them were already gone. I even heard that many Seekers stayed away from him because of his brutality.

There was only one sect that was a pain in his ass, though. But I have no idea who that sect was.

"I've diverted their attention away from us for the main time and we can move our camp by tomorrow," Davies said.

I was wondering why he wouldn't just go home. Was he an outcast? He must have offended his people to have casted him out.

The remaining meals were eaten in silence and when we were done, Kilan and Jason cleaned the dishes. I wondered why they were treating him like some King. They are all Lycan rogues and he shouldn't act like a leader of a gang.

"You should sleep in my tent," Davies broke into the silence. That was all he said and my heart skipped.

" No, " I snapped.

Davies looked at me for a while before he spoke. "Look, I know we are mates..."

"We are not mates!" I interrupted him rudely.

I don't want to remember that and he was constantly reminding me. That alone boosted my anger. I don't want to be mated to anyone again, I just wanted to be left alone.

“ What about last night?" He asked, grinning.

I could feel my cheeks heating up at his words. What the hell was he trying to tell me?
