Chapter 6

The cheerful group looked at each other, not knowing what to do next. They transformed back into wolves and went to their main house to tell Alpha what had happened.

Stellar and Aziel ran side by side at one pace. They both lost their desire to play. They trotted to where they left their clothes, got dressed and got into the car without a word. 

"Your wolf looked like she didn't like them. You know them?" He asked, pointing with one hand and supporting his head with the other. 

"Yeah, unfortunately" I muttered, looking out the window.

"Would you mind elaborating?" 

"Do I have to?" 

"Yes" 

"Mmh" I ran my hands over my face. "To the girls, I'm a pushover at university, for a certain Liam" I said, grimacing. "A useless human whom he rejected. He was my mate… Enough elaboration?"

The last thing I wanted to do now was tell my boss about my wonderfully colorful life and how I deal with it. Telling someone about it made me feel like I was too weak to deal with it. At least that's how I saw it.

I leaned my head against the side window. I only heard his fists tighten on the steering wheel until it creaked.

Shit, I stood up to my boss..again.. and my job hangs in the thread. Why am I so stupid? I thought.

However, I didn't know that the reason for his anger was different. I looked at the clock in the car. The time for my shift today was approaching inexorably. 

"Alpha?" I asked shyly, not knowing how to address him so as not to upset him.

"Speak" He said shortly.

 "About my job... Can I continue working?" I finally dared to ask. He slowly glared at me.

"My shift will start soon and I was wondering if..."

"You can. At least for now. I'm here on business and I'll be leaving soon. You will be guarded by one of my warriors for some time" He replied, returning his gaze to the road.

I breathed a sigh of relief at both news. Yes, both of them. Back to work and his eyes back on the road. We were going about 180 per hour, passing every car in his way without any problems.

I am a wolf and I have quick regeneration, but if I become a wet spot, it will be difficult to recover.

Fortunately, we arrived safely at the club a few minutes before my shift. I jumped out of the car as if I had been burned and ran to change my clothes.

Ethan looked at my disappearing figure in disbelief. He shook his head in dissatisfaction.

"When will she learn" 

I like her.

"For pity's sake! Just stop it!" He growled at Aziel.

Why? Who else can raise your blood pressure like her. He laughed at the strongest Alpha on earth. Besides, you're not so 'murderous and scary' when she's around.

"Shut up!" He got out, slamming the door a little too hard because the glass broke.

"See what you did?!" He blamed the wolf, who just snorted and fell silent. 

"They were supposed to be titanium, indestructible, but slam them harder and everything falls apart. People..." He muttered under his breath as he entered the club. He entered room nr 8 and sat down on the sofa.

Alfa noticed some inconvenience in communicating with the girl. He found her with his eyes in the crowd of people, took out his phone and wrote a short message. He saw Nova take out her phone and slowly turn towards him. He picked up his empty glass, waving it in the air. The girl went to the bar, took two bottles of whiskey and some ice and disappeared up the stairs. 

I knocked on the door and went inside. I put everything on the table, hoping I wouldn't spend the rest of my shift here again. 

"Come here" He ordered in a low voice. Clutching the tray in my hands, I approached him.

"Give me your hand" He extended his hand to me.

Did I do something wrong? Does he want to break it? I wondered, hesitantly giving my hand.

Grabbing it, he pulled me towards him, brought it to his lips and bit it. I hissed from the momentary pain. He wiped the blood from the slowly healing bite with his thumb.

Now that I'm nearby, I can call you whenever I need it. He said to me in his mind, looking into my eyes.

Surprised, I grabbed my hand back. I nodded and left the room. I'm fucke…

Easy little one. I can hear you. I heard his voice in my head. You have to learn to hide your thoughts.

A vein appeared on my forehead. I took a deep breath and put on my professionally neutral expression as I returned from his room.

Stellar, can you help?

I blocked him.

What a fucking ASS! I shouted to myself without changing my facial expression. Thanks love. 

I like him.

I saw her lying in my subconscious, wagging her tail. My eyebrow started jumping nervously.

Just great.

I got to work, trying not to think about it.

The rest of the shift passed uneventfully. I wasn't called by the boss more times and no one started fights today, so my anger slowly disappeared. I changed and, tired from another wonderful day, I couldn't wait to get back to bed.

Seeing the black car parked in front of the exit, I wanted to scream. The window slid down and my beloved boss came into view.

"I'm leaving on business. Behave yourself and remember that my guard is keeping an eye on you. If anything disturbing happens" He took out his phone. "This is my number, so you better let me know" The window rolled back and the car drove away. 

"Yes, boss" I saluted behind the car and happy, that I finally can go back, went with a tired smile towards the house. As always, I threw myself on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

The next day at the university passed peacefully when, while walking from one building to another, I noticed Barbie and her boyfriend near parked cars. I didn't want to get in their way, so I took the most roundabout route possible.

When I arrived at training, Stan came up to me and grabbed my arms.

"Are you OK? They didn't do anything to you?" He shook me worriedly.

"Everything's fine, calm down. What would happen to me?" I grabbed his hands to stop him from shaking me.

"How so? Haven't you met King Ethan?" He asked, surprised.

"The king? No, but Boss Ethan, yes" I replied, surprised.

"Your boss is our king! Or rather, everyone. He is the most powerful Alpha to walk the earth" He explained.

"Huh? You're kidding me" I muttered.

"Tell me you didn't upset him with your behavior" He pleaded. 

"Nooooo?" I bit my lower lip, raising one eyebrow. Stan covered his face with his hand.

"Nova…. Do you know you could have lost your life? Alpha Ethan is unpredictable. He has no scruples and kills anyone who even looks at him in a bad way without blinking an eye" He explained.

"I didn't sense any murderous intent from him" I wanted to defend myself.

"You wouldn't have time... The moment he decided to kill you, your head would be on the ground, away from your body" He warned.

I swallowed hard. "I'm alive and there's nothing wrong with me" I waved my hand at him. "At least we can train now and don't have to stress so much. He left yesterday on business. He won't come back for a while" I reassured him, pulling him to the mat. "Now wait here. I'll be there soon and we'll start training" I gestured for him to wait and went to change.

Fortunately or not, Stan came back to his old self when we started training and, as usual, he kicked my ass.

But this time I managed to knock him down once, which was a big success for me. Even Stan was pleasantly surprised.

After a successful sparring session, I went to the club. I changed as usual and started working.

A few hours later I got an order to one of the VIP rooms. I collected the alcohol but stopped right in front of the entrance. I grimaced terribly as I tried to punch a hole in the wall.

At least one damn day of peace. I sighed heavily. I didn't know if I would be able to resist seeing these idiots again. I knocked twice and, clenching my jaw, went inside. I spread the alcohol on the table and picked up the trash as usual. 

"You pick up garbage and who will pick you?" Laughed a certain squeaky pink Barbie.

Definitely not a waste like you. I thought, pretending not to hear her. Suddenly I was splashed in the face with one of the alcohols.

She did not…
