Lucys pov:
I groan as Natsu comes into the room with two plates loaded with those promised goods. I more or less greedily snatch one of the plates out of his hands and start to devour it within seconds. I moan as the sweet flavours hit my taste buds. I notice Natsu watching me from the other side of the sofa, his dark eyes hungrily watching over me. I try to supress another moan from the food but to no avail, this only makes Natsus eyes go darker, showing that he's losing a battle of control with his wolf.
I swallow the current food in my mouth, "Natsu. What did the guards say?"
He continues to watch me like I hadn't just asked him something. I roll my eyes and kick my foot against his leg, this getting his attention, "I'm sorry what?" He asks, clueless.
"What did the guards say?" I inquire, looking at him expectantly.
"Oh, that they only let her in because she had some homework to give to me. Which is bullshit, everyone knows that if I had homework a teacher would bring it" Natsu mumbles before throwing a piece of bacon into his mouth.
I sigh reluctantly, the guards are suppose to notify that someones here through the mind link. What if someones working with her to get back at us? I search Natsus face, realising that he's more stressed and annoyed about this than me. "Hey, once we have eaten, let's go to bed. You look like you need to rest up".
Natsu shakes his head, "No I have to deal with the guard that let her in".
"Wait it wasn't a group of guards outside then? Only one?" I frown at this, so it could be someone working with her.
"Yeah but don't worry, I'll have it all sorted out very soon".
I lean over, placing my hand on top of his, "I'll sort it out, don't worry about a thing okay? You get some rest. Besides, I want to actually have some meaning here other than just being your mate. I need to get in on the action" I wink at him before standing up.
"What will you do?" He asks, puzzled.
"Well I'll start by making sure that he never gets a chance to guards anyone or anything. I'll have his job revoked and maybe make him go work in a bakery or whatever. We can't have someone who's so clueless and reckless like that ever being in charge of peoples safety".
Natsu stands up, picking up both plates, "God do I love you" He kisses me on the cheek, his free hand guided on my waist.
"And I to you" I giggle at my nonsense, shaking my head. "I'm going to go now okay? You go to bed".
Natsu salutes me, "Yes mam!".
I hold my mouth to stop the hideous laugh from erupting. This man is mental and I love it.
I quickly make my way to the pack house, on the way, houses are being renovated to the white marble that my pack once lived in. Children and adults all smiling like everything was perfect and to be honest it was. Nothing has looked more perfect. I stumble on the steps to the pack house, my cheeks dusted pink. I take in a deep breath and release, letting all of my worries and doubts leave me, confidence taking over.
I find my way to Igneel office. A knock on the door and it's instantly opened. My eyes widen at the immediate response, they were obviously expecting me.
"Please sit Miss Heartfilia" Igneel advised.
I nod, taking a seat in front of him, to my left a man with purple hair sat looking guilty, "I would like to resolve this matter as quickly as possibly".
"Yes, that's expected Miss Heartfilia. He was out of line but he is new to the job. He has apologised profusely which I find to be truthful. Would you consider taking him back to work for you?"
I stare at him like he just started a world war. Is he stupid? "No. I have other plans actually".
"As long as these plans are within reason".
"They most certainly are seeing as I'm the future of this pack. Natsu agrees with me on this too but he's very stressed and tired out from the situation, other wise you would be hearing these exact words from him" I hold my ground, my eyes locking onto his.
"Alright, you may proceed" He looks concerned and god damn he should be.
"I have reason to believe that this man is working with Lisanna. Call it whatever you will but I want this man to no longer be working as a guard from this point onwards. I and my mate don't feel safe knowing that someone so careless is on the job, this is exactly how sting got through before remember? The chaos it caused. He is much better working in a store that is easy and simple".
Igneel strokes his chin nodding slowly. He releases a sigh and looks at me defeated, "Fine. I'll find you another job young man. That is all you may leave".
I wait until he has left before looking at Igneel, we have put the ceremony of Natsu turning into the Alpha on hold for a while whilst the land is under construction. We both agreed that it would be better if the surrounding areas were complete.
"Lucy, this ceremony can not be proposed much more than it already has. Our pacts with the other packs are getting annoyed and suspicious that we are up to something or that the Alpha has passed away" He roughly rubbed his face, agitated.
"I understand that and give it five more days. We will be ready by then".
He nods at me, swishing his hand to show that I'm dismissed. I hesitantly leave, this man is trying his hardest to keep everything together, he looks like him his self is going to fall apart at any given moment.
I decide to transform into my wolf to go for a run on the way back home. I brush myself lightly up against the trees to cover the woods with my scent, a instinct to show whose boss. I stroll into the garden, letting myself transform back into my human form, the cold breeze dancing around my naked form. I blush and make my way inside, the heat counteracting with cold instantly. Me and Natsu found that since we lose our clothes when we transform, it would be safe to have some robes hung up inside. Since then, we haven't had any problems. I wrap the silky pink robe around my body, letting it smother me with it's grace.
"Luce?" Natsu calls from a few rooms along.
"Natsu?" He should be asleep.
"You've been gone for like three hours. What were you doing?" He comes into the room, rubbing his tired eyes.
"I sorted everything out, don't worry. Did you get enough sleep?" I ask, wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Not nearly as much as I would of gotten if you were there" He grins.
He picks me up bridal style, running up to our room. I giggle as he throws me gently on the bed. He stays standing there, staring at my face, admiration coaxing it.
"What's wrong?" I ask, blushing madly.
"Nothing I'm just thinking about how fucking beautiful you are. When you're laying down like that, you look like angel" He practically drawls out.
I reach for his shirt pulling him down with me, "Just go to sleep you big dummy".
He hums, his head resting in between my breasts. I hold his head, letting my eyes close with his.
