His Human Mate

Chapter 2

Lola

The day passed by rather quickly it seemed busier than normal I didn't mind it kept me busy.

I was able to take a small break so I went to the employee's room walking to my cabinet and grabbed my phone.

Don't know what I was hoping for maybe a short one-word text anything, but nothing feeling a little ping of hurt I pushed my phone back into my purse shutting the door.

Walking to the vending machine I get a bag of chips and a bottle of water going over and sitting down at the table. I just sat there lost in my thoughts.

"Hey, girl mind if I join ya?"

Looking up I saw she was holding a drink and a small snack as well.

"Hey Ava, of course not have a seat,"

"God it's so busy in here today, I swear everyone is in here," She says as she sits down opening her drink.

"Yeah, I have to agree with you on that,"

I didn't smile I just stayed looking at my water bottle fidgeting with the plastic label.

"Hey, you alright?" She asked touching my hand.

Quickly masking myself I looked at her giving her a tight lip smile.

"Yeah yeah sorry just feeling a little tired,"

"Lola I know that's not it, please you can talk to me,"

My shoulders slumped letting out a sigh.

"I was just thinking of Dean,"

"You still haven't heard from him?"

Shaking my head. " No not since this morning,"

"Lola Im not trying to poke into your business but if he's not making time for you,"

I hold my hand up to her.

"He's busy Hes always been driven by his work and I know he has a lot of cases im just being dramatic I'll see him tonight,"

"I'm sorry Lola I didn't mean to pry I just don't like seeing you down like this,"

"Thanks, Ava I shouldn't let it be bothering me at work,"

"You can't help how you feel Lola I would feel the same if my husband did that,"

I just nodded at her and started munching on my chips we sat there talking about the day and the different patients.

We hear the door open but don't look at who came in.

Someone sits next to us making us look at them.

"Emma," Ava says a little dryly.

She just rolls her eyes at Ava and then turns her head to me.

"So Lola I hear that the Anderson Firm is putting on their yearly benefit fundraiser,"

"Yeah, what's your point everyone in town knows when it is," Ava snapped at her.

"I wasn't talking to you, Ava,"

"Ok look here Emma it's clear you have a thing for her husband but I will not sit here and listen to you talk nonsense just to hurt her or make her feel bad, you should look elsewhere for a man and not at someone's husband!"

Ava gritted through her teeth at her I know Ava doesn't like Emma and she never hid the fact normally I just blow off what she says but lately, it does bother me I mean seriously how can you have no dignity?

"Look, Emma would you please stop asking about my husband,"

"I'm not asking anything about him! I'm asking about the fundraiser,"

I went to say something when Ava speaks up.

"Lola it looks as if our break is up," Ava says as she stands up grabbing her things.

"I'm coming," I stand grab my drink walk over throw my empty bag away.

We walk out of the employee's room letting the door close.

"She is so infuriating!" Ava says as we walk toward the nurse's desk.

I don't say anything I've always known she has a thing for Dean ever since she started here and learned who he was to me it's every day we work together always making comments or asking things.

I pushed her to the back of my mind and continue with my day whenever I had to go up to the desk I just ignored her.

Soon my day was done getting my things walking to my car I go in heading home hoping he would be there.

Cash

"Cash!" I hear my sister yelling.

Suddenly my door swings open and Ava comes storming in. She was pissed and I didn't know what about.

She smelled of humans and medicine which means she just coming from the hospital.

I had argued with her about her choice to work at the human hospital instead of here at the pack's clinic but she felt she needed to learn about humans' healing ability and medication so she could better treat our kind. Don't see how it would help our kind we healed way faster and our immune systems were completely different from theirs.

"Cash im gonna kill him!" She yells while flopping down in the chair in front of my desk. I just raise an eyebrow at her.

"And who are you killing? And why?"

"Dean that's who he's is a complete jerk,"

"Who is Dean?"

She sighs at my question.

"He's Lola's husband," Throwing her hands in the air like I should know this already.

"Lola?"

She huffs at me again.

"She a co-worker, Cash, and Dean is her husband,"

"Alright, So why are you all bent out of shape about him? Did he do something to you?"

"No!" She yelled at me again.

"Okay Ava I understand you are upset about something but I have no idea what you're talking about unless you explain it to me,"

I see her take a breath and close her eyes sitting back in the chair I see her body start to relax a bit.

She opens her eyes and I see the fire is died down a bit.

"Lola is a nurse at the hospital she is such a nice person, I really like her so I befriend her but there are days she is so down I can see it all over her face, I learned that she is married to Dean Carter,"

"Wait Dean Carter as in the big hot shot lawyer at Anderson Firm?"

"Yeah, you know him?"

"Ava I run a security company I know everyone,"

"Right, Well as I was saying I think something is going on,"

"Going on? What do you mean?"

"I think he's cheating on her,"

I sit back against my chair letting out a groan.

"Cheating Ava really, I thought there was something majorly wrong,"

"Wrong, Cash cheating is wrong Lola is a sweet person how can he do that to her!"

"Ava you don't even know he is so how can you accuse him of cheating have you even met the guy maybe he's busy with work, you know he's a popular lawyer and Anderson Firm is a big-time firm,"

She slaps her hands on her legs sitting straight up.

"Cash how can you say that, you know she told me this morning that he stayed last night at his office and then never talked to her all day!"

"Look, Ava, the man is a lawyer he probably just working, don't you go poking your nose into places you shouldn't,"

I point my finger at her giving her a hard look.

"Cash I can't just sit by and do nothing I can see the hurt on her face, please can't we do something ?"

"No Ava, I'm not getting in the middle of this it's a human affair im not meddling in their business, and neither are you,"

"But Cash,"

"I said No Ava!" I let my wolf come forward to show I meant it,

She hung her head. "Yes, Cash,"

She stood walking out of the office I sat back rubbing my temples.

Ava will make a great luna someday she is always caring for anyone wanting to help them but this is something I can't let her do it's to risky, especially with a lawyer. But Ava only sees her friend needing help and I love her for that and that is why she makes a great doctor as well.
