Chapter 8
Being in front of the boss and already in trouble, I am not sure if he isn't going to fire me. He said he wasn't, but he could change his mind. Thankfully, he let me go back to work, and he seems like a nice guy, so I am going to do everything in my power to make sure I don’t piss him off.
I know I am going to have a little more patience with the customers. I cannot let them see I am weak like that.
“There is something different about your boss.” My wolf mused. “I don’t know if I should love him or be scared of him.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, he seems like someone you don’t want to mess with.” I sighed. “I don’t know if he is going to fire me still, so I have to keep myself calm. I know me reacting to that customer wasn't a good thing.”
I didn’t say anything, I pushed her into the back of my mind. I didn’t want her talking because I knew it knew something and I would hate for someone to question me. I went back to the drinking station. I am a little upset at Rebecca for telling on me, but it its not over my head and she cannot use it against me if something else goes wrong.
“So how did it go?” Rebecca asked coming towards me. “Sorry I had to tell him, he would have found out and then you would have been fired.”
“It went fine,” I said trying to ignore her for the most part. “He just told me not to let it happen again, I just have to watch what I say.”
“Well, when you work here for a while you will figure out who is an ass and who isnt.” she sighed. “I know you are new and all and this isnt your scene, but you are doing a good job here, you are working tomorrow night right?”
“Well yeah if that's where you want me to be.” I smiled. “I don’t mind working as long as I am working.”
“Good so maybe I will put you on mostly nights, I hate working them and I am dating someone so he wants to see me more.” she mused. I could tell she is lying, but I am not going to let it ruin this, I am going to think she wants to do things and let her have it her way as I don’t want to piss her off more and get her to make up things about me.
I didn’t say anything, I knew she was going to keep talking. It's getting dark outside and I know we’re going to be closing, I know I am going to have to be better tomorrow, even though I did what I thought was right I know it's not going to work out and I will lose my job if I keep making the customers get up and leave.
“So finish up here, and I will see you tomorrow.” Rebecca said closing the register, the Boss has some things he has to do so I am not sure he will be here tomorrow, but you and me can have some fun and I can get to know you more.”
“Alright, I guess we’ll have more time to talk.” I smiled.
She didn’t say anything, which is fine. I didn’t like the way she looked at me. Is she going to do something else to get me into more trouble? I mean I haven't done anything to cause her to think I am better than her.
“Alright, girls clock out,” Leon said coming out of the office. “I have a couple of things I need to get done, but I want you two to get going.”
“Alright.” I smiled. “Good night and thank you for not firing me.”
He didn’t say anything, he kind of looked like Alpha Tate when he was linking to someone. Is he a wolf? I don’t know, I cannot smell anything on him, but that doesn’t mean anything. I waved one last time before I went outside.
Having the cold air hit my face, it felt good. I know winter is coming and it is something I love very much, I couldn’t wait to go and play in the snow. I know I cannot just shift when I want, but I will make sure to be careful.
“Finally.” my wolf mused. “I thought you were going to keep me locked in your head. I still think your boss is something powerful.”
“Yeah?” I sighed. “Well let's not piss him off because I don’t want him to think I am going act stronger than him.”
“I think he is interested in you.” she laughed. “I mean the way he looked at you when you were talking to him about earlier, maybe you might have a shot.”
“What about our mate?” I snapped. Did she already forget I wanted to wait for him? I don’t want another man to have me, not unless it's our mate. “I am not going to w***e myself out to the Boss to make sure I have a job.”
“No one said about doing that,” she said rolling her eyes. “I am just saying I think he thinks of you better than your coworker, maybe it is because you stood up to that customer, or maybe he knows you as a wolf because I think he is one.”
“If he is a wolf I am sure he's going to tell Tate about us, you know Alphas don’t like pack members running around, maybe we should move on already.” I sighed. I didn’t want to move on, but I didn’t want to take a chance and have another Alpha tell Tate where I was.
“I don’t trust him.” I sighed.
It's not something I like now, if she is right and he is a wolf it's only a matter of time before Tate knows we’re here. I don’t know what I am going to do now that we know this. I don’t have enough money to move again, and even if I did I didn’t know where we could go.
“I don’t think he would let Tate have us, he is more powerful I think.” she mused. “Besides I think you like him too.”
I didn’t do anything else, I don’t want to keep talking about him. If he knows that I am a wolf I am not sure what he is going to do about it. I know he won't kill me I don’t think but then again he might so I have to worry about that but right now I just want to get back to the hotel and get some sleep. I know tomorrow is going to be rough, Rebecca wants me to work nights and that is fine, but I want to be able to run around the forest.
“When can I come out?” my wolf whined.
“I don’t know.” I sighed. “I don’t know how safe it is for you to come out now. If you think my Boss is a wolf then I am sure he has others around and I don’t want to deal with it.”
“But I want to come out!” she growled. I could tell she wants to let people know we’re here, and that's not going to happen. I have control over her, but I know if she wanted to get out she could.
“Maybe when the snow comes.” I sighed. “Please don’t fight me on this, I don’t need you mad at me.”
“Fine,” she whined. “But when the snow comes, you better keep your word.”
I don’t want to deal with her right now, I am a little worried about my Boss. Maybe she is wrong about him and we aren't going to have to worry about it. But what if she isnt wrong? What if I am in danger of him telling Tate where we are?
“I promised you that you would get your freedom, but you have to trust me.” I sighed. “I know you want to run things easier but we have to be careful.”
“Don't worry I am not going to let him or anyone else try and hurt you. Tate learned the lesson early on and I will do the same for the others if I have to,” she said,
I know she will protect me, she has since I’ve had her. I am glad the Moon Goddess gave her to me when she did, I don’t know what I would have done with all the bullying in school.
“Good, I’m starving,” she whined. “What are we going to eat?”
I didn’t think about getting something to eat, I was hungry but our money was already low because of the hotel, I knew if I didn’t play things right it would get us in some trouble. I mean I need to eat otherwise there isnt going to be enough energy to shift if I have to s**t.
“I didn’t get anything, and we cannot afford it.” I sighed.
“So what are you going to do about food, you will die without it.”
“I promise you will be able to hunt for something, but tonight I don’t want to go anywhere.”
