(Lucius's POV)

  "How is your Father?" Grandma asked, "I haven't seen him in such a long time. Is he still mad at me?"

  I shrugged, "I don't know if he is." I said, "I don't see him much either."

  "Oh my, he's so cruel." She said with a chuckle, "That boy of mine, he has always been like this."

  "Yea...." I said, looking at the paper in my hand, "What have you been up to, Grandma?"

  "Well, since your Father has decided to set me aside from business, I have been quite lonely." She said with a smile, "I would appreciate it if my grandchildren visit me from time to time. You are the only grandchildren I have, you and your sister."

  I nodded, "I'm sorry, Grandma." I said, "But I have been quite busy."

  "I suppose that's true." She said with a smile, "You're young and have such a good future ahead of you. But if you decide to walk down the same path as your Father, I don't know if it will be that good. Do you understand what I am saying, my boy?"

  She reached for my hand, giving me a worried smile.

  "Yes." I said, "I understand, Grandma. But I'll be alright."

  "So, how do you feel?" Grandma squeezed my hand slightly, "You were in an accident, was it not as bad as it was made out to be?"

  "Ah, it was just a small hit." I said, "Someone hit my care, that's all."

  "Oh, goodness!" She said, covering her mouth, "That's horrible! But you're okay, right?"

  "I am, there's nothing to worry about." I said with a slight smile, "Thank you for worrying."

  She patted my cheek, "You're my precious boy, Lucius." She said with a smile, "I wouldn't dare think of losing you."

  I felt her soft hand on my cheek, it was quite the nice feeling. I couldn't help but lean into her touch slightly, closing my eyes as she caressed it slowly.

  "Right...." I said, snapping out of it almost immediately, "But I'm fine, Grandma. I don't think you should worry too much about me."

  She leaned closer to me, "Yes, I think you're right." She said, sniffing the air around me, "It seems you are Awakened too."

  I nodded slowly, "I am...." I said, "But I haven't explored into it too much. Not yet, at least."

  "Well..." She said, pulling away, giving me a warm smile, "Just be careful, okay? Stay out of trouble and most importantly, don't fight for other's territories.....if you know what I mean.....our kind can get quite vicious when it comes to that..."

  I nodded again, "Yes, Grandma." I said, "I understand."

  "Listen, my darling." She said, "This whole week, I will be free at my pce. I won't get many visits, okay? I would greatly appreciate it if you make time to go and visit me. I will cook for you, alright? I know how much you love my home-cooked meals."

  That did sound tempting. I mean, I love her cooking. She makes the most amazing alfredo pasta that I have ever tasted.

  "Sounds good, Grandma," I said with a slight smile

  "I don't want to hold you down, okay?" She patted my cheek again, "If you're busy, go ahead and do what you're going to do. Can you text me when you're free?"

  I nodded, "Yes."

  She scooted out of the way so I could get out of the booth, "Okay, my dear." She said, "I know you're in a hurry. Oh, if you see your sister or Father, tell them to message me okay? I don't want to feel neglected by them."

  I had gotten out of the booth, "Yes." I said, "I'll let them know."

  She sat down and waved me goodbye, "Take care, my darling~" She said with a warm smile, "Be good~"

  I nodded, "See ya ter." I said, "If you need help with anything, don't be afraid to call me."

  "Will do~" She said

  I turned around and began to walk away, making my way out of the cafe.

  As I walked outside, I saw Nadia was waiting right next to the parking lot.

  "Oh, hey." Nadia said walking up to me, "I saw that you were with someone, so I didn't want to interrupt. Who was that woman?"

  "Oh, that was someone I know." I said, "Don't worry about it."

  She offered her phone, "Want to exchange numbers then?" she said, blushing slightly, "I have a thing to do right now, so maybe we can do something ter tonight?"

  I pulled out my own phone and handed it to her as I took hers, "Sure." I said, "Something came up, so I'll get busy right now as well. This works out perfectly."

  We were entering each other's contact information as we stood there.

  She was blushing slightly as she returned my phone, "There." She said, "I look forward to seeing you."

  I nodded, "Likewise."

  She turned around and walked back inside the cafe, which wasn't surprising since she wasn't done with her shift. At least, I think she wasn't done with it.

  I smiled, "Heh." I said, "This is good. I go and fuck Teddy's mother, and then I go and fuck his girlfriend. This is simply great."

  *****************

  Around half an hour ter, I had reached the Luxury Night Hotel and walked up to the room that the woman had told me to go. Knowing that she was Teddy Crux's mother, I just know that there's a possibility that she was a werewolf or at the very least, affiliated with the Crux Gang.

  If this was a trap, I ought to be careful. It took me around 10 minutes to sweep the entire floor, checking for something out of the ordinary. There didn't seem to be anything, which was assuring. This just meant that Teddy's mother was a cheating cougar who liked to fuck young men.

  That worked out great for me.

  But even if she was just that, this could lead to a trap. I had to be careful, very careful. If the Crux Pack were behind the hit, they would try to get me alone to finish the job.

  But it's okay, I got a little surprise for them.

  I knocked on the door, taking a step back.

  After a few seconds, I heard a voice call out, "Who is it?"

  "The young man from the Cafe." I said

  "Ohhh??" I heard the voice say, "So you came...."

  The door opened and I saw the woman from the cafe wearing a bck nighgown which was open, exposing her bck-ce lingerie. Her beautiful body was exposed, only covered by her bra and panties. The mere sight of her was simply alluring and arousing, enough to make any man erect in mere seconds.

  "Hm...." I said, smiling slightly, "You mean business, don't you?"

  "Fufu~" She said, licking her lips, "I do."

  "I didn't catch your name." I said

  "Cra." She said, "The name's Cra."

  "Nice to meet you." I said, "I'm Luke."

  "Well, Luke." She said, giving me a slight smirk,

  "Shall we start?"
