When the shift ended and the sun was already setting, I changed clothes, grabbed my backpack and went back. Maxwell paid me and I said goodbye to him and Scarlet.When I left the cafeteria, I breathed that fresh air into my lungs and felt the drops fall on my skin. I looked up at the sky and kept walking. The rain was starting to pick up when I remembered James's proposal. It was an invitation to meet in that same place. I was starting to worry about the frequency of our runs. Soon we would have to change our route because of the tracks.I started walking towards the outlying shed. My wolf was already restless and at the edge of the surface when I arrived, I caught the familiar scent of that woody scent. He was weak from the smell of camellias and the rain, but James was there. I could still identify it even with the pouring rain.I walked some more and looked around for him. He was leaning against one of the pillars of the shed with his arms crossed. His head was up to the rain, and
"Please understand. " He raised his hands when he saw me."What are you""I heard the guy at the counter tell you yesterday that they needed one more person to work. He stared at me. That's why I asked yesterday about that girl who quit.""Never mind! That was a terrible idea! " I whispered through clenched teeth."Relax Sarah. I just want to help. I found a great opportunity."I shook my head negatively and walked past him down the hallway to the locker room. I couldn't believe it."Ah Sarah, please... "I heard her footsteps behind me."We're going to get caught if we keep this up. You know that, right?" I whispered."I told you we won't be caught." He whispered back.I went into the changing room and left my backpack in the closet. I went to the fitting room to change and put on my uniform before I turned around and flew into his neck. What could I do? He had already been hired by Jake."You would be more likely to be caught alone. Even more so working as a waitress here." He w
Ah! I'm dead! Psychologically at least. After knowing that they are indeed looking for me and that they think there is an assassin in their territory, my she-wolf did not relax at all. Indeed, James was right. Maybe Bruce was after me because he cared, but that son of a bitch cares in a way too extreme. What if the Alpha here decided to settle things his way before turning me over to Bruce? I would be lost!I need Bruce to accept my freedom. No matter what.I don't know what I will do tomorrow. I don't know if I'll go to work. I didn't say anything to Maxwell, but I can't let the cafeteria down. Maybe James can handle it on his own like I did, but I can't stay away for too long.After taking a shower and getting ready for bed, I went to the window and opened it, letting a cool wind into the room. The weather was nice and more days of rain were likely to come. I leaned my elbows on the window and stared outside. Smelling the smells of the city coming to me.I stood there for a few more
Sarah, isn't it? Can I talk to you for a moment? " My body froze. I was unresponsive. I didn't know what to do. James was a few feet behind me, but he couldn't see me and I didn't want anything to get out of hand. After all, Noah apparently had contact with those wolves sitting at the other table. And they are crazy hunting me. Surely Noah knew about me. Just as I know about him now."Yes, of course. " I confirmed with my head.Thankfully, the music was loud enough to camouflage our movement. I followed Noah to a door in the back, away from the tables. He opened it and we both came out. He stopped and took a deep breath as he stared at me. I wanted to stay calm, but the situation didn't help, and it filled my nerves."How did you know? " I was direct and he raised his eyebrow. He probably thought he had an advantage over me."When Maxwell mentioned that there was an escaped she-wolf in our pack, I started camouflaging my scent to stand a better chance. I work in a restaurant that is
We walked back to the hotel and I thanked him for dinner. James soon went up the stairs to his room and I to mine without another word. I went in, put my backpack on the side of the bed, and took off my clothes, throwing myself on the bed and staying there until I fell asleep.I woke up to a light noise coming from the window. I looked up and was surprised to see rain first thing in the morning. For the first time, I stood there in bed just watching. The weather was dark and at least I wasn't going to work. I turned to the side and stretched. On the one hand I would miss getting up, getting ready and going to the cafeteria, because at least I would be busy with something. But on the other hand, I was also grateful. I wouldn't be in so much danger being stuck here.Nothing better than sleeping listening to the rain at the window. James must be awake at this hour and cursing himself for having to go to work.I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep. I woke up two hours later with
" Are you sure Jake? " I asked confused." I do. We're closing early today. " I said to myself, to Maxwell, and to Scarlet.We were all looking at each other confused and not knowing what was going on. Jake had arrived at the cafeteria and told us that it was closing early. I decided not to question it and to go and change. Jake paid us half price for the service and dismissed us as soon as the last customer had left.I went out a little after lunchtime and the sky was still falling. The torrential rain was washing the streets and creating some small puddles on the sidewalk.Maybe Sarah and I could go jogging today. We could go somewhere further away from here. A safe place for her.I packed my coat and as soon as I left the cafeteria, I felt a man walk past me to enter." We are closed, sir. " I warned." I know. " I felt a shiver run down my spine and saw the man enter without even seeing his face.I shrugged and walked back to the hotel. I stopped by a convenience store
When I arrived at the hotel, I saw Oliver looking at me from the front desk with a curious face. I took off my glasses and cap in a long sigh before closing the umbrella. " James had come out after you to look for you. " He soon spoke up. " He asked about you before he left." Of course you asked. " He found me. " I tried to give my best smile and kept walking. " Thank you. " He gave another smile. I'm glad he didn't ask about him. I climbed the stairs, made my way to my room, and went inside, closing it immediately afterwards. I put the umbrella by the window and dropped my backpack on the floor next to the bed. I put my hat and glasses on top of the nightstand and sighed again as I threw myself on the bed. "I feel like I've known you for a long time Sarah. I know you can feel it too." His words came back in my head and I didn't understand what it all meant. Suddenly I heard three knocks on the door. I looked toward it and sniffed the air to try to smell it. The faint f
I woke up as fast as I slept. I felt something poking my nose and opened my eyes. The faint smell of lilies mixed with her soft perfume numbed me. The coppery strands of her hair were on my face so I pulled away a little. Only then did I realize that I was almost on top of her. I carefully removed my arm from her body and my leg from hers.How come she hasn't woken up yet with my weight crushing her?Who has seen you and who sees you James... The last time I had such a female in my bed, things were different.I stretched and got up slowly. I looked at Sarah and realized that maybe it would be a while before she woke up, because it was still early. The weather was still gray and it was still drizzling. I went to the bathroom to pee, brushed my teeth and splashed some water on my face. When I finished, I went to find a shirt among the others that were messy on the shelf. I put on a long sleeve shirt and felt my stomach rumble. I was starving. I didn't know if I should wait for Sarah to
