Chapter 275: -Chapter 275-

Davian must have been able to tell that he was in a sour mood, because the Alpha didn’t...

Lake nearly bit his tongue as he jinxed himself because he was barely inside the bathroom when he caught the hulking figure of Davian trailing after him.

"Oh for fuck’s sake," He muttered, resigning himself to having the Alpha cling to him.

"It’ll be faster to shower together anyway," He grudgingly accepted, "Come here..."

It was good that the Alpha listened at certain times, because it meant that they were able to shower without incident.

If Davian had more red palm prints on his skin because he got too touchy, that could be ignored.

They walked out of the bathroom wearing matching bathrobes, and smelling like sunflowers because Lake had chosen the shower gel they used.

He made Davian stand to the side while he made the bed, not trusting the Alpha not to get in the way by ’helping’.

Lake ignored how domestic the scene was, allowing Davian to latch onto him when he was done.

When the Alpha wasn’t trying to break him in half, he was glued to his mating mark.

Lake wanted to take that as a positive sign but he knew well that Mafia King Davian in rut was very much different from the Mafia King he was accustomed to.

Lake could have dropped dead asleep right then although it was still early in the evening but his rumbling stomach had other ideas.

It reminded him that he had barely eaten that day, and by that, he meant that he hadn’t eaten even a single bite.

And after everything he had been through today, he deserved a big feast.

Lake couldn’t exactly leave the room, and he was just as wary of Davian leaving him, but he was hungry.

He couldn’t even bring himself to tell Davian he was hungry so he was better off trying to fall asleep.

There was a delicate knock on the door at that point, startling Lake.

There was a haughty clearing of someone’s throat on the other side of the door, "Dinner is served, Master Davian."

Hearing Arthur’s voice was surprising, but not as unexpected as Davian responding.

"Leave it behind the door and go."

"R-Right away, Master Davian." The butler said in a rush, the sound of pattering feet receding.

Lake had frozen up when Davian spoke, it was very much like he usually was, cold and forbidding.

"Don’t leave," Davian murmured to him as he rose to his feet.

And right then, Lake wanted to ask the Alpha what he saw him as.

Davian was headed to the door, there was no way he could leave without going past him.

But he couldn’t complain, not when Davian treated him so much better than everyone else.

And also, there would be food...

Lake wouldn’t call himself a glutton, if anything, he was more likely to eat solely for sustenance.

But right then, he felt like he could eat an entire worth of Clint’s idea of a picnic and then some.

He was already at the edge of the bed by the time Davian rolled the mobile tray in, too hungry to panic at the sight of the Master playing servant.

Lake was already reaching out for the food with grabby hands, impatiently gesturing as Davian uncovered the dishes, his tummy grumbling angrily.

There were savory dishes but Lake immediately reached out for the dessert, a chocolate fondant.

He had been drowning in Davian’s scent ever since he got to the Alpha’s bedroom but he couldn’t help but be drawn to it, immediately digging in, far too hungry to remember his manners.

Arthur walked down the hallway with a scowl on his face, he had hoped that he would be able to get some information by bringing dinner.

It was why he had even brought it earlier than intended.

Then again, he hadn’t served the Master lunch because he had been too shaken to do so.

Master Davian hadn’t demanded one either so he arranged for more food to be prepared for dinner.

And this was for several reasons. He wasn’t being considerate of Lake by having the kitchen prepare more than food for two, but he needed to make sure that the Omega ate out of the meal provided.

Arthur made his way to the dining room where Matilda currently was with her daughter.

The first phase of their plan was in motion, now all they needed to do was wait.

"Well?" Matilda asked impatiently when he got to the dining room.

The table was set and dinner was served but no one was eating, the food neglected on the table as both ladies stared at him expectantly.

"I couldn’t get inside Master Davian’s bedroom," Arthur said gravely.

They would have known if Lake had left the Master’s bedroom but getting a look inside was crucial to their plans.

Matilda clicked her tongue angrily, "We’ll just have to go ahead regardless."

"You’ll have to return to retrieve the dishes, use that chance to scout the bedroom." Matilda curtly gave him an order.

Arthur’s muddy brown eyes were flat as he tipped his head politely to show that he had heard her.

They might be able to perfectly accomplish this mission, he wasn’t going to let his personal sentiments get in the way.

He didn’t appreciate Matilda acting like he was working for her after proposing an alliance but he didn’t bring it up.

Instead, he lowered himself to a chair to wait. The drug was fast acting, so within an hour, Master Davian and Lake should both be knocked out.

He would rather not spend that hour sitting here with Matilda and her jittery daughter but he needed to keep an eye on her.

"The reason I despise that whore Omega is clear to see," Matilda broke the tense silence, the sides of her red lips lifting up in a smile.

"But I still can’t make out what grudge you have against him." She lifted the glass of wine she had been nursing to her lips as she spoke.
