The Night Wolf novel Chapter 7

"I'm sorry." She said, not really sorry but she couldn't help it. "Enjoy your drink." She said.

"Enjoy?" He said. "How do you expect us to? Call your manager."

She looked up at him in astonishment.

"Hunter, don't." Said JR, but he was ignored.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Said Hunter. "Call your manager." Everyone was now turning around to look at them, the manager too noticed.

"Alpha?" Mason, her manager said. She couldn't believe this. Even the manager? "Can I help you?"

"Fire her." Said Hunter.

"Fire?" Said her manager. "Did she do something wrong?"

"Are you objecting me?" Hunter's tone might have made anyone piss.

"No Alpha." Mason said, he turned to Willow. "You heard him." She could see that he didn't want to, but it didn't matter. Everyone bowed to Hunter, and he knew that.

She was going to quit the job anyway. She had started working only for the summer and there were only two weeks left for her school to start.

She walked away to the staff room, the whole cafe was quiet. She was sure something like this had never happened here. Her face was burning but she was not going to cry. No she wouldn't give Hunter the satisfaction of seeing her cry. She had her pride.

Changing out of her uniform and picking her bag up, she left. Not taking the back door, knowing that the other workers might be gossiping in there about the scandal. Not much happens in here.

Telling herself repeatedly that no one was watching her, especially Hunter, but that was hard since she could feel his stare on her back, she walked out and bumped into Rowan at the door.

"Hey," He said. "Why do you look sad?" That was the last resort, she couldn't stop the tears from flowing down.

Her pride misted out and so she broke down in his arms.

"Why didn't the Koala bear get the job?" Asked Felix.

"Felix no." Said Rowan. "Not now."

Willow wiped her face with the handkerchief. The same handkerchief from the first time she had met Rowan. She had washed it up and given it back to Rowan the very morning, now it was back in her hands with her tears on it.

"Well then," sighed Rowan, who has been doing an awful lot of sighing. He grinned. "Lead the way."

"Now that we are here," began Willow. "This is the park."

"Wow!" Exclaimed Felix, who even looked shocked. "How come I never noticed that?"

"I thought we were at the mall." Said Rowan with a very serious face. "Is that Armani?"

"Well, you thought wrong." Said Willow. "And no it's just an ice cream truck."

"Great," Said Felix. "I'm craving ice cream."

"Last to get there pays." Yelled Willow before sprinting for the truck.

She was the first to get there, surprisingly. She wasn't bad at running because of the practice she had whenever she had to run from Triple and her friends or Hunter and his sick ways. She knew that Rowan was fast, seeing him whoosh in and out the other day. Looking at Felix she could tell that he too was fast, he looked like the type of person to get up early in the morning to go for a morning jog, but she could never be too sure after all she did see him up before she was and she doesn't really sleep in.

After getting their ice creams they left for the town. She showed them around, the places they'd probably have to go to. The mall, the best cafe in town, art store even though both of them didn't paint, she couldn't help it. This is where she mostly goes to when she came to this part of the town, next was the bookstore where Rowan wanted to go. He bought some books, most of them were titles she had never heard of. Felix wanted to know where the gym so that is where they headed after the bookstore. She was right when she had predicted him to be the sporty type.
