ALPHA OF DARKSTONE

CHAPTER SIX

RANCH DEL ROMANCE

Lucy’s POV

It took few more seconds before the plumber man finally stopped cackling.

"You are annoying," with a distorted face, I grumbled. His laugh irked me and with that, my right foot moved on its own. I kicked his shin hard before I swiftly ran across the counter where he couldn't reach me.

"f**k!" He grunted in surprise and instantly bent down. Wincing, he grabbed his lower leg, caressed it, and then confronted me. "What the heck is that for, woman?"

I lifted my chin up and with both hands resting on my hips, I answered, "You deserve it for being an asshole. It's rude to laugh at a beautiful lady like me, Mister!"

I was aware that I made a fool out of myself in front of him for saying the leader of DarkStone is my mate. However, I am sure the other she-wolves in the lower rank are also like me. Yes, an Omega like us can't have someone like him and we all know that but there's nothing wrong with dreaming, right?

And as for me, I am not interested in other male wolves for only Alpha Zacria Reid intrigued me. I am curious about what's behind his mask. Is he handsome or is it true that he has scars on his face?

But whatever his face looks like, it's not a big deal for he's still perfect in my eyes. He is my prince charming and that'll stay as it is even if the day comes that he finally finds his mate. His Luna.

"I was just teasing you," the plumber man sniggered and stood up straight that shifted my attention back at him. "I am deeply sorry if I offended you with that." His face softened as he gave me a sincere apologetic look which made me rose an eyebrow.

"Yeah, whatever." It is better to end up the topic and finish talking to him before I get more cranky. "Just go back to work. If you're finished with the sink then go to the second floor and fix the other broken pipes there."

I was about to turn around and exit the kitchen when he spoke up again.

"Just one more question, Miss Lucy."

I groaned and snapped my head back to him. "What?"

He flashed me a wide toothy grin and voice out his question. "Does the Alpha know that you are his girlfriend?"

I huffed.

I should have known that he's the jerkiest man living in the wolf realm!

"You know that I just made that up, right?" I replied to him with a deadpan look. "Stop being nosy, Mr. Plumber man cause even if I am not mated, it's only the Alpha that I like and no one else. And even if you're the last man walking in this city, I will never be interested in a pervert like you."

After shooting him a dagger-like look, I finally moved and walked towards the door.

"Too bad, I am also working in the Reids mansion. I thought I could at least tell you some things about your unrequited mate, but yeah, you're right. I must go back to work."

The moment I heard his words, I automatically halted and slowly spun around. For a moment I contemplated if he's just messing up with me or he's telling the truth but then, my admiration towards the Alpha won. The irritation on my face vanished as a sweet smile formed on my lips. "Oh! I forgot that the rooms are lock upstairs, Mister Plumber man. Come on, I'm going to assist you."

I didn't wait for him to get his toolbox as I immediately ran to it. I put all his tools inside and effortlessly scooped the box in my arms.

"Let's go?" I muttered with excitement all over my face as I stood in front of him.

With amusement, the plumber man chuckled. He raffled my red hair and bent down so he could stare directly into my eyes. "You are something, Miss del Romance."

I grinned at him and winked. "I know, right!"

-TIME SKIP-

“So you want to know more about the Alpha..." The Plumber man's voice echoed inside the bathroom of Aunt Selene's room as he was working with the shower.

"Y-yes," I answered in a shaky low voice as I blinked and scanned his glistening ripped body. Sweat and sprinkling water from the showerhead made him soaked and I could not help but watch how the droplets of water ran down to his toned chest, to his perfect abs, and under the waistline of his damp pants.

I bit my lower lip wondering where the liquids will lead to.

The plumber man began to feed me things about the Alpha yet my ears refused to listen. My hands clutched the side of my dress tightly as I swallowed hard.

Oh, holly pineapple!

Where does Aunty Selene get this male Omega?

Where does he come from?

Why is he sinfully hot?

He's making it hard for me to concentrate on getting pieces of information about the Alpha of DarkStone. He's distracting me making me more focused on him than my dream mate. Even Sky seemed enticed as my wolf kept on purring like a feline under the heat at the back of my head.

I could not blame her though for the man in front of us look so inviting. So alluring.

My throat dried up as my body temperature rose that I could bet my whole body was all red. My gut churned and for the first time, I understand the saying about the butterflies fluttering inside the stomach. It made me more anxious and sensitive.

My heart beat faster too and thumped aloud that I could hear it in my ears.

'This is no good!'

I breathed hard and tried to calm myself yet the atmosphere inside the bathroom became thicker. Making my chest constricted as I felt like being suffocated. I knew that it's because of the plumber man's presence.

"Who are you?" before I could stop myself, those words escaped from my mouth which made the plumber man froze.

With the wrench in his hand, he deliberately turned to me. He gazed at me for few seconds before he moved and stalked forward with an alarming pace making me stepped back only to gulp hard as the door behind blocked me.

"Who do you think I am?" he muttered as he stopped leaving only an inch between us and making me had a gust of his intoxicating scent.

I looked up at him and gave him a confused gaze. "I am sure that you are not an ordinary Omega so why are you here? Who are you?"

He tilted his head to the side and hummed with an undecipherable expression on his face. He then raised his hand only to have a fistful of strands of my red hair. He had a small whiff on it before he gave me his reply. "I am Cria; the plumber man. Are you interested in me now, Miss del Romance?"
