The last werewolf standing

Chapter 7

I let Sky take over totally because I am very tired, especially mentally. I don’t really like changes and now my whole life will change again. I just hope for the better. It’s not like my life was bad, but I hope I will find my mate and we will live happily ever after with some pups in a few years.

‘We are here.’ Sky says after one hour of running. Now it is half seven in the morning. I shift back and dress up before walking out of the woods and into the motel. I don’t use a fake name since I don’t have a fake ID and I don’t think anyone will look for me. Maybe Lara will call later but that’s all. I talk to the lady by the reception and tell her I will stay for the weekend and I will see after that if I should move further, but I will pay per day, in case something happens. She doesn't mind and ask me to wait till she types my informations into the computer.

While I am waiting I spot an advertisement board on the wall next to the reception desk so I walk in the front of it to check if I find some job advertisements. I need to find a job what pays good enough for me to live on my own.

Waitress, maid, bus driver… I read them and write some telephone numbers into my phone. Then I see something interesting. It’s a poster about an event but it’s just a simple poster and doesn’t say much so I turn to the woman behind the desk.

“Sorry, do you know more about this?” I ask her while I am pointing at the poster.

“It depends, why do you ask?” She asks while she narrows her eyes at me.

“I am looking for a job what pays good and actually I am a good fighter so I thought this is an advertisement of a fighting club if I am not wrong.” I tell her and she starts laughing.

“So you are saying that you are a fighter?” She asks with an amused expression, but when she sees my glare she stops laughing. “Yes, it’s an advertisement, but that club is not totally legal so they didn’t put too much information on the posters. My son’s friend is the owner and a fighter too so they asked me to hang it up and answer if someone ask about it, if that’s not the police, of course.” She says and I nod my head.

“Well, I am interested and I am definitely not from the police.” I tell her with a chuckle.

“Let me call my son first before I tell you the address. So you want to fight, right?” She asks and I nod my head.

“Yes, I need the money.” I tell her and she lifts her phone to her ear. I can hear the whole conversation easily, perks of being a werewolf.

“Hi ma, what’s up? I hope it's important for you to call me so early.” A male , sleepy voice says into the phone.

“Hi darling, sorry to wake you up, but here is a girl, asking about the poster. She says she is a fighter and she wants to fight since she needs money, should I give her the address?” She asks.

“A girl? How old is she?” He asks and the woman looks at me and opens her mouth to ask me but I beat her to it.

“I just turned eighteen.” I tell her and she closes her mouth with a confused look, then she looks at the phone and shrugs her shoulder before answering to him.

“She is eighteen.” She says.

“Don’t tell her anything yet, just tell her I will meet her there at 10 AM.” He says and hangs up.

“He will meet you here at 10.” She says and I nod my head with a smile.

“Thanks ma’am, then I will come down at ten.” I tell her.

“Just call me Rose.” She says and I smile at her.

“Alright Rose, you can call me Angel.” I tell her and turn to the stairs to head to my room. She seems nice, after she lets her guard down a bit. I walk up the stairs and look for my room what is the 7B and I find it on the second floor. It’s just a simple room so I don’t bother to look around. I head to the bathroom to take a shower but when I see the bathtub my eyes lit up and my lips are stretching into a wide smile. In the cottage I could only shower since a bathtub couldn’t even fit in that tiny bathroom so now I will definitely take a long and hot bath.

An hour later I lay down on the bed and decide to sleep one or two hours till I need to meet that guy at ten o’clock. I set my alarm to make sure I will wake up in time and fall in sleep as soon as my head hits the soft pillow.

The ringing of my phone wakes me up from my sleep and I reach out to grab it from the nightstand. I look at my phone in confusion when it doesn’t actually rings, but I can still hear something is ringing. I look towards the door to see a phone on the wall next to it. I get up and answer it on a sleepy voice.

“Hallo?”

“Angel, my son arrived and it’s already 10:15.” Rose says into the phone.

“Sh*t, I am sorry, I overslept. Can you send him up?” I ask her.

“Of course dear.” She says and hangs up. I head to the bathroom to make myself presentable, but I don’t bother to change my clothes. I just wash my teeth and brush my hair. I make the bed fast when there is a knock on the door.

“Angel?” A handsome guy asks , he is around 21-22 I guess, with dark hair and brown eyes. He looks at me from head to toe with a smirk on his face.

“Yes, come in.” I tell him while I roll my eyes and stand aside to let him in. He comes in like he is at home and sits down on the bed.

“I am Daniel. I heard you fight.” He says and I nod my head.

“Actually I am looking for a job, I need a fix income.” I tell him and he nods his head.

“Are you any good?” He asks and looks at my body again. I raise my eyebrow and smirk at him.

“I am.” I tell him confidently and he claps his hands together and stands up.

“Alright, I will arrange a fight for you for tonight, let’s see what you got and we can talk about the rest after that.” He says and hands me a card with a single address on it. “See you at nine.” He adds with a wink and walks out of the door before I can say anything.

‘It went fast.’ Sky says.

‘Yeah, we need to be careful while we are fighting. We can’t hurt anyone too much. We won’t use your power just if it's really necessary, alright? I am a good fighter so I think I can handle it.’ I tell her, we can’t risk them finding out what I am.

‘Got it.’ Sky says and I go back to bed to sleep. I have nothing to do till the evening so I decide to catch up on sleeping. I pull the covers on the top of me when my phone starts ringing. I look at the screen to see Lara’s name. ‘Here goes nothing.’

“Hallo?” I answer.

“Happy birthday, bestie.” Lara yells into the phone cheerfully and I smile. I will miss her a lot.

“Good morning, thanks, how was yesterday?” I ask her, I guess she didn’t talk to Chris yet.

“Yesterday was the best day of my life.” She says happily.

“That’s great, I saw you two were cozy.” I tell her teasingly. “Did you guys had s*x?” I ask.

“Almost. I told him I am not that kind of girl and he said he is glad to hear that. We made out a lot though and ‘helped’ each other out if you know what I mean. We will have a date today.” She says excitedly.

“I am so happy for you Lara.” I tell her , trying to be cheerful.

“You don’t sound like you are, did you like him by any chance?” She asks worriedly.

“What? No Lara, I just have a lot on my mind. Actually I need to tell you something.” I tell her timidly.

“What’s wrong? You are scaring me.” She says.

“Nothing is wrong, I just… I left.” I tell her.

“What do you mean?” She asks.

“I left the city.” I tell her.

“You did what? Why? When are you coming back?” She asks.

“I don’t know Lara, I don’t think I will ever go back.” I tell her and she starts crying.

“What do you mean? Why?” She asks.

“I can’t tell you now, but you need to trust me. I will call you, but you can’t tell anyone that you are still in contact with me, I mean it, Lara. Not to Nana, not to Chris, no one. Alright?” I tell her while she is sobbing into the phone.

“Okay.” She says while she is sniffing. “I don’t know what you got yourself into, but be careful.” She says.

“Don’t worry about me, you know that I can defend myself.” I tell her and she lets out a sad chuckle.

“I know that, cat woman.” She says. She used to call me that when she saw me while I was training, she doesn’t know how close she is from the truth.

“Alright, I will stay in touch, I will call you once a week or when I have time, alright?” I ask.

“Okay and I will wait for your explanation too.” She says.

“Love you, bye.”

“Me too, bye and take care.” She says and we hang up. I wipe the few tear drops away what managed to escape. I will miss Lara like hell, she is my best friend and I want to tell her about me being a werewolf once, but it’s too early for that and I can’t risk her life either if something goes wrong.

I decide to stop thinking about it for now and fall in sleep once again.
