Kennedy
I wanted to eat a hamburger, fries, and a chocolate shake so very badly.
I made my way to the huge kitchen and saw a plate on the table. It was full of salad, fruit, and some type of quinoa salad with cranberry maybe?
I needed meat.
I opened the fridge and found some lean turkey. Who lives like this?
I decided to order in.
I took out my phone to look for some real food. I was shocked when a local news report flashed on my phone.
There had been a murder last night. Right near my castle.
They dubbed it the moonlight serial killer strikes once again.
I was feeling sick at the details of the murder. Her heart was cut out, her head removed.
I put my coat back on and went out to the garage. There was a small old fiat car in there.
I opened the dusty door. The key was in there.
Well, here goes. I turned the key, it started right up.
Gus came running in, hearing the noise.
" Ah, Miss Starling, you scared me to death. I thought...well nevermind what I thought.
Where are you going? I left you some dinner."
" Gus, no offense but does this body look like it eats salad and lean turkey. I'm going for a burger. Want to join me?" I smiled.
He grinned now.
" Aye, I would but I have duties here. Looks like I need to send Douglas out for some real food, as you put it."
I nodded, feeling my hair bob forward, I brushed it back.
" Go to the left and then right on Trune street, there is a gastro pub there. They serve burgers.
Miss Starling, please avoid the place called the Cave.
I believe it is full of seedy characters looking for a quick hook up. They should have shut it down long ago. Be careful Miss."
I told him to call me Kennedy.
He nodded.
I drove the old classic car to the gastro pub, The wolf head bar and grill the sign read.
It smelled devine.
I took a seat in the back away from the bar.
I ordered the biggest juiciest steak I ever had in my life.
The server smiled at me.
We do have a special, if you finish the whole steak, your baked potato and a beer, you get it free, and if you eat the pecan pie dessert, you get a fee shirt. Want to try it?"
She underestimated me. I could pack it all away. I nodded as I took another bite of the huge steak.
Every eye in the bar seemed to be on this red head trying to complete the challenge.
I licked my fingers as I ate that steak till it was gone.
A specific man at the bar wanted to be those fingers, he was drinking deeply tonight.
He was trying to fill that empty hole Serena's death had left in him.
Oh the possibilities of having a wolf mate to be with. All gone now. He felt like a fool to even dream about it.
So he came here to drink and eat a nearly raw steak. He got caught up in the drinking part.

Orcas Howle ☆
I couldn't believe it when I saw her. The man next to me bumped my arm drawing my attention to Kennedy Starling eating the damn steak challenge.
No way, she was too tiny to do it. But here she was licking her fingers and digging into the potato now. I smiled seeing it actually happening.
The man bet me that she would fail. I upped the bet. "A thousand dollars she finishes it, then asks for more."
He threw his head back and laughed.
I smiled, knowing this girl was full of surprises.
She finished all of her food, then hit her empty beer mug on the table, "Another round, and one for your patrons too!" She yelled, then burped.
Every person in that pub stood up and clapped for the red head.
Except me, of course.
I wasn't a bit surprised.
The man next to me slumped down.
" Can I pay you next week?" He said, defeated.
I clapped him on the back.
"Nope, just pick up her beer tab when she leaves, then we are square."
The man agreed.
I wiped my mouth with my napkin and started to go over to her.
She was gone.
I swiveled my drunken head around. Nope, she vanished.
I took out my wallet, then felt a hand on my shoulder.
" Would you like to go for a walk sir?" Kennedy asked me, seeing my drunkeness.
I stammered a bit. She was wearing that new t- shirt.
The two wolves on her shirt from the pubs logo fit right over each large orb of hers, I was staring at them.
She took my hand with her lovely fingers and lifted my chin up. I drooled on her finger. She licked it away.
My pants suddenly got very tight in this area, right here... my crotch here.
She didn't smile or even hesitate she took my hand and I clumsily went with her right out the door.
The wind was doing it's thing. I walked behind her like a well trained pooch.
Maybe a poodle or a taco bell chihuahua? It wasn't a dignified look for a vicious Rottweiler like me.
" Tell me, do you believe in fate?" She asked as she almost bounced in front of me.
Her body did something to me, I was mesmerized by her butt walking in front of me.
It wasn't that it was big. It looked nice.
Tight, but juicy maybe? Hell, I'm too drunk to be thinking anything right now.
Kennedy turned to me in the dim light of the waxing crescent moon.
" Will you kiss me now?"
" I will kiss you now and... then. I will taste your flesh and make you want me. But I won't make love to you, you are saving yourself."
That was stupid, I don't know what I'm saying.
She just looked at me with those knowing green eyes. She must know that I want her in my bed, only my bed. No others for little red.
She put her arm around me then and thrust me very quickly into the ....dreaded...friends zone. s**t! my plan to be sexy and savve back fired big time.
" Orcas, let me get you a taxi my friend."
She was worried about getting me home.
Kennedy was so very pretty. That's all my mind would say.
She hailed me a cab. I cumbsily got in, she shut the door.
Before she left she leaned in and payed for my ride.
I vaguely heard her asking for directions to the local cemetery.
It did not register in my foggy brain until I was well on my way home.
She was going to the cemetery, why?
I felt myself getting sober. Then the driver turned the corner sharply and I puked in his car.
Nope I'm still drunk.
The driver cussed at me and kicked me out. It's OK, I was going to transform into wolfy and run home quickly.
Instead I turned back and staggered towards the cemetery all four paws were on the ground, I tried to walk and fell over. s**t, I was way too drunk.
Not tonight red, not tonight.
I shuffled off home instead.
I fell fast asleep.
******
In the morning I decided to pay an official call on my little red.
Necklace, then goodbye friend. She friend zoned me. I can't believe it.
I will get that key necklace once and for all. I don't need a human friend.
I held my head. Oh the pain. I was hung over.
