The Night Wolf novel Chapter 6

"Be reasonable." Venice said again.

Willow started working at Smol Bean for the summer. Her mother didn't want her to when her school was going on, but now that it was her vacation she was allowed to. Willow didn't mind working at Smol Bean. The other workers might not be bright as sunshine but they didn't bother her and not many from school came to Smol Bean anyway, so it was all good.

Summer can be boring when your best friend is away, so coming to Smol Bean helped her with not wasting her time, at least she's making money.

Melody Watts was her only best friend at Onyxscar High. They were pretty close but every summer she was sent to some boot camp by her parents. The same camp where more than half of the school's population went to. The same camp where Hunter went to. She shuddered at the thought of him.

"You'll do it won't you?" Said her mother.

The door to the staff room opened as her manager stepped in and pointed at his watch and then pointed outside.

"Fine I'll do it." Said Willow giving in not willing to but she knew there was no way out, her mother was quite stubborn.

"I love you Willow, take care and have fun." Said her mother.

Sighing she pocketed her phone.

"Willow," Said her manager, who was already out. "Be quick."

"Coming!"

Willow headed to the kitchen in the back, the atmosphere seemed to have changed, she could actually feel the atmosphere going all bright sunshine. Ignoring whatever was in the air she held the tray she was given in her right hand, pasting a smile on her face she headed outside the kitchen.

She walked over to table number 9 where she was supposed to serve.

"Here is your Choco Latte sir I hop-JR?" Said Willow. "What are you doing here?"

"Willow?" JR's eyes went wide. "What are you doing here?"

Willow pointed at her pastel green blouse and her pastel pink skirt, which was supposed to be her uniform. "Isn't it obvious?"

"Then what are you doing here?" Said Willow. "You should be at the boot camp, with Melody."

"I had to come back," Said JR. "Because of some family issues."

"Then why are you shocked?" Said Willow. "You look scared."

"I-" He was now looking behind her, his eyes widening. But before she turned she knew who the person was, she felt him. No. Not him. Anyone but him.

When it comes to him she was always left speechless. Even when she wanted to retaliate she couldn't, he demanded respect and looking into his onyx eyes was impossible. He was none other than Hunter Reed, who was popularly known as Alpha. He was feared throughout the school, even the teachers feared him. And he hated Willow, she didn't know why but he did. She had done nothing to him, yet he hated her.

Willow couldn't bring herself to hate him, she wanted to hate him but she couldn't. Instead, her heart beat faster every time she saw him and her cheeks went red, and Willow knew it wasn't mostly fear. She was helpless when it came to him, both internally and externally.

"You should start doing you job properly." Was the first thing she had heard from him after all those days of not seeing him. Her heart was beating twice the times than it always does, she could feel the blood rushing to her face. "Oh goddess, my day was going so well. Now that you are here, I fear that it's gonna go bad."
