Nikolai POV.
My stupid cousin, my crazy cousin, the one who’s getting his ass kicked, I kicked him out, but in return he decided to take it off on my girls, he decided to go after them, the idiot, thinking I’ll allow him to get even close to them. I knew he was coming, even with people being loyal to him, they are more loyal to me, they wouldn’t want to try and get on my bad side, I won’t be so nice.
I messaged Elle telling her to come home, she was trying to be sneaky and go have some ice cream with Paul, but I said no, I told her to get home, with the threat of my cousin, I’d prefer if she’s home right now but still she ignored me. That got my blood boiling, this can’t be happening, he can’t have gotten to her, I wouldn’t lose her, not like this, I’d kill him if he gets close to her. When Elle got home, I was furious, Devil wasn’t any better, she wanted to go out after him, she’s angry and wanting to hit him, but I wouldn’t allow that either.
“Let me have him! Nikolai I’m not Elle, I eat people like him for dinner” she tries to say, trying to get out of my hold.
“I said no Devil, this isn’t how I deal with things, you’re mine, I’ll be the one who’d take care of him” I tell her but she doesn’t want to listen, she kept acting out until Elle was back and I had to force my dominance on both of them.
“Can we get up now? My knees hurt” Devil sass at me.
“I think you could spend some time in the corner until you lose the attitude” I threaten her, while Elle keeps it down, she’s my angel. I finally allowed both of them to get up. Elle was in my arms in no time while Devil was still acting up, until she joined the cuddles too, after a while Elle decided to give me her demands for the day.
“I decided what pet I want” Elle tells me, I raise a brow at her, she had her time to think about it.
“Yeah, tell me” I say getting ready to hear her wanting a rabbit or maybe a bird.
“I want a dog!” she says all excited, a dog, not my first choice.
“And what dog would you like?” I ask her, I don’t want to raise a Pomeranian, or a some tiny dog breed, please tell me you want a golden retriever, I think to myself crossing my fingers.
“A Pitbull!” she says all excited about it.
“What!” I say not believing what breed she wants.
“Bella, a pibull would eat you alive” Devil says and I agree with her.
“No, he won’t my dog would love me, and maybe bite you two” Elle threatens us with her non-existent dog.
“No, chose a more…gentle breed” I say trying to be nice to her.
“No! I want a pitbull!” Elle says crossing her hands over her chest, I share a look with Devil she doesn’t agree on her choice either.
“Do you have any experience with dogs?” I ask her, she shakes her head no, I know she didn’t have any experience with dogs, and it’s not an easy choice to go with.
“Elle, if you get scared the dog would know” I sat explaining why it’s not the best choice ever.
“I want a Pitbull or I want nothing” she says holding her breath, this is a new side of Elle, one I haven’t seen before, this is bratty Elle.
“Elle sweetheart” I say but to no use, the little one was too deep in her headspace and mad at me now, the pout was on her face was more prominent. She even left my side, moving toward the other chair sitting alone away from me, I wanted to coo, laugh, and kiss her all at the same time, she’s too adorable right now.
“I’ll deal with her” Devil says going toward the little one, dragging her out of my office with promise of candy, that’s one way to deal with her, now with both my girls safe, I had some other work to do, mostly keep on checking that my cousin doesn’t try to touch any of what’s mine.
“Nikolai, to be honest half the family is happy that Angelo is gone for now” Marco says, making me sigh, yeah he’s not the most loved person around here.
“You got a good taste cousin, I love the girls” Helena says, she and Marco along with Paul are now in my office talking about Angelo.
“Wait till you get to know Elle, she’d make a story all up and put you in it” Paul says with a laugh.
“She wants a dog too” I say making Paul laugh out loud, he knew about this.
“I did suggest a stuffy dog” he says in his defense.
“She wants one that could bite us if we get on her bad side” I say, she’s not taking a stuffy one.
“Well that’s not that bad on security side, getting her a dog would help” Helena adds on.
“It can’t be that bad, what does she wants? A Doberman?” Marco asks.
“No she wants a pitbull” I say with a smile, now do tell me it’s not that bad.
“It’s a scary breed for everyone else, we can train him to protect her, I wouldn’t want to mess with her or the dog” Marco adds, they all just ganging up against me now.
“I’ll think this through” I inform them.
The rest of the day passed quietly, we were just trying to do some damage control with Angelo leaving, Helena being the girls bodyguard, Devil becoming a part of the family, things just went crazy right now with everything going on, and the plan of getting a dog to the family too. I’m thinking a puppy, a really small puppy, not to scare Elle with an adult dog yet.
A full month have passed since the girls have become mine, Devil still fight her bodyguard, she and Helena aren’t bestie’s but since Elena aka Helena was added to Elle’s story I’d say those too are on good page. But today isn’t just about my girls or me, it’s the day we’re getting Elle the new puppy she’s been begging for, she did end up giving me a head, got to give it Devil it’s a great bribe, but I don’t take that kind of payment.
I drove both Elle and Devil to the pet shop, maybe there’s still a chance to get her to get a rabbit instead of the said puppy, but that was plan B, not one I’d be sharing with her yet, pouty Elle isn’t a nice Elle.
“Here you go princess” I say parking my car, I wouldn’t call Devil a princess, she’s my baby demon. We walked inside the shop, Devil went to see the snakes, I wouldn’t expect anything else from her, we walked inside.
Elle was looking at rabbits first, maybe I’ll talk her into getting one, birds didn’t hold her interest, kittens were the cutest thing ever, and finally dogs. Elle didn’t dare get close to any of the adult dogs, her hold on my hand got stronger, she’s afraid of them.
I call the employee telling her we’re here for the puppy, she acknowledge me, going to get the puppy, she came back with a small grey puppy, it’s too small, not something that would scare her. Elle thankfully wasn’t scared of the puppy, she hugged it, kissed it, and even named it, telling me it’s hers now.
“We’ll take him” I say, getting ready to get everything the puppy would need, thankfully some of the family have experience with dogs and would help Elle out with it.
“Nikolai, can I get this?” Devil asks with pouty eyes, showing me a small red snake.
“How big would it get?” I ask the worker.
“Not much sir, it’s a small snake” he says.
“Fine little demon, you can have a pet too” I agree with them, what do they have against a rabbit!
