"Yes, how may I help you both?" a plus-size woman on huge glasses behind the counter asked peering at them from under her glasses.
"We came to enquire if this bar still hires workers," Craig said and the woman gave them a long stare before clearing her throat.
"Who among you is looking for the job?," she asked and Craig pointed at the less concerned Aurora who was busy scrutinizing the bar and looking for a target.
"Aurora focus" Craig tugged at her sleeve bringing her back to her senses. She blinked and stared at Craig who glare at her.
"Can you focus and tell her you're the one looking for the job and stop being silly" he whispered under his breath and Aurora nodded before turning to the woman and giving out one of her fake smiles.
Ever since her father died, she had seized from smiling and only smiled whenever she was with her family or her best friend Craig.
"I'm the one looking for the job ma'am" she muttered and the woman stared at her for a long time before telling them to wait for a moment and then walked into the inner door at the back of the counter.
~~~BLOOD MOON PACK~~~
"Alpha we got them" a very tall muscular man with a deep scar running from the side of his right eye down his cheek bone said, coming into a very dark room.
The only light in the room was that of the computer of which the alpha was operating. Other than that, the room was so dark.
That was the way Alpha Jax likes his room. Dark and chilling.
"Did they confess?" Alpha Jax asked not caring to see who it was or turning on the lights.
From the voice, he could tell it was Gamma Lucas, the head warrior of the pack.
"They haven't but we would make them" Gamma Lucas said with a deep voice.
Good, make sure you get every information and tell Beta Rufus to see me now" Alpha Jax dismissed and turned back to his computer screen.
**
"You sent for me Alpha" Beta Rufus muttered, dragging a seat closer to him and sitting down.
He needn't not to look around much to identify where the stools were. They had been with Alpha Jax for a long time and everyone already knows and can see clearly even in the darkness of his room.
"How was the trip?" Alpha Jax asked and Beta Rufus smiled, touching his chin.
"Very well Boss, We got the deal and we would be finalizing it next week.
"He requested the deal be finalized in a local bar at a hidden place to avoid any unnecessary leakage" Rufus said.
"I see, remind me the date later" Alpha Jax said and stood up heading to the door.
Alpha Jax was not only the most powerful and richest alpha among the packs in California, he was also recognized across the states and countries.
Apart from being the alpha of blood moon pack, he runs a mafia organization which was known as "The Underworld".
This organization was known as the most powerful and ruthless mafia group and only the Beta and Gamma knew it was owned by Alpha Jax.
Everyone knows about The Underworld" but no one knows who the leader was.
Alpha Jax made sure his businesses was controlled by Beta Rufus who in turn send out representatives. And even though he had to step out, he wouldn't go without a mask and a voice changer attached to his mouth.
"Some bunch of fools were caught snooping around the borders and when asked who sent them, they had refused to talk, Go find out who sent them" Alpha Jax said when he got to the door.
"Okay Boss" Rufus muttered in smiles. It has been long he flexed his muscles and he couldn't be less happy to teach the fools some lesson.

NEW YORK...
"Craig I told you, that lady had forgotten about us obviously, she has been inside that room for a very long time now and my legs are beginning to arch me" Aurora complained, a deep frown plastered on her face.
She might be just talking to the boss, you never can tell, she might be begging on your behalf" Craig said.
"Begging? Tsk! Does that lady looks like one who would plead with whoever the boss was just for me to be offered a Job?" Aurora cracked hitting Craig's head.
"Ouch!, What would you have me say then? Let's just wait a few more minutes then we'll leave if she doesn't come out" Craig groaned rubbing his head.
"You keep bullying me forgetting I'm the man here" he whinned and Aurora bursted out laughing.
All eyes turned to them, staring at them like they've grown more heads.
Aurora quickly clamp her hands over her mouth to control her laughter. She wouldn't want to be thrown out for disturbing the customers.
"Let's sit over there and wait, I promise we'll only wait for five minutes and then we'll leave" Craig pointed and Aurora nodded and walked to the vacant table which wasn't so far from the counter.
Three minutes later, the woman walked out with a smile on her face but stopped on her track looking around the bar looking for them obviously.
Aurora rolled her eyes, she was right there on her front but she kept looking past her. She shook her head and stood up dragging Craig who wouldn't stop gawking at a hot guy sipping on a wine two tables away.
"What Rora? can't you see I'm busy? Let's just wait some more" Craig whined thinking his friend was dragging him up so they could start going home.
"Busy? Tsk! You mean busy gawking over that guy?" Aurora said raising her voice a little.
"Damn Rora stop" Craig quickly clamp his hands over her mouth in embarrassment.
Aurora chewed on her inner cheek trying to control herself from the uncontrollable laughter that was threatening to consume her.
Craig's face was so red out of embarrassment. Every one's attention seemed to be focused on him especially the guy he was gawking at.
The guy he was gawking at had raised his heads and stared at them when she said those words.Craig felt like running out of the bar in embarrassment. "Rora!! I'll revenge" he whispered in her face.The lady at the counter saw them and frowned. "Hey there, are you here for the job or to play with your lover?" The woman called out to Aurora who looked at Craig to see him pouting."Haaaa!!!! What kind of thing is this? First I'm trying to act cute for that guy and you interrupted me and then this lady thinks we are lovers. Damn me and you, lovers? Wtf!!!" Craig cried out in frustration."Why would she think of such a thing? A sissy like me lover to Aurora the bully? No, she must be joking" Craig whinned."Do I blame her? You look cute whinning so I think she must have thought you're my boy" Aurora laughed and turned around heading to the counter."Yeah I think s
"Uhhh?" Craig looked dumfounded. "You know how much I hate doing dishes Rora especially washing pots""I see you aren't ready yet, I'm going then" Aurora said and began walking away."No no... I will do the dishes, I will make sure the pots are sparkling Don't do this to me Rora" Craig ran after her.Aurora gave a lposided smile and winked. "Good, that's why you're my boy" she replied and Craig frowned but quickly shrugged it off.As long as she does what she promised then he could be her boy for now and do anything she wants him to do.He can't afford to lose that cute dude."I still can't believe I got a job and I'll be resuming tomorrow" Aurora muttered with a small smile."I told you, You just have to keep pushing till you get what you want" Craig said and Aurora chuckled."You just have to push till you get what
Next Day...Waking up to remember she was meant to start work today, Aurora sprang up and took her toiletries, and ran down from her room to the bathroom they use which was outside the house.She quickly took a bucket and ran to the little water wall at the back of their house and fetched water before rushing back to take her bath.She rummage through her bag which contained a few clothes that are worn out, looking for a suitable one to wear on her first day of work.After searching for a while and about to give up, she finally stumbled upon jeans that were faded a bit and a black polo that was quite bigger than her size.She dried her body and applied her body butter. It was cheap but she doesn't mind, her skin was great and she doesn't need so much to care for it.Putting on the cloth, she folded the hem of the polo and tied it,
They got into the cafeteria and Aurora ordered a burger and juice while Jenny ordered hers."Let's go sit over there" Jenny pointed to a free table and Aurora nodded following her over to the table.She settled down on the plastic chair and uncorked her mineral, taking a bite from the burger, she closed her eyes to relish the heavenly taste."Are you going to be okay with just that or would you mind joining in my pasta?" Jenny asked pointing at her plate of pasta which aroma was wafting through Aurora's nose.Pasta has been her favorite meal ever since she was a kid but she needed to save so she had long stopped buying food other than snacks and juices from outside and she's not a person who would share food with someone especially when she isn't yet familiar with the person.She looked down to the pasta which was calling on her to devour, swallo
They got to the school and Aurora sighted her sister standing with a boy who looks younger than her and smaller."Maya" she called the attention of her little sister who turned alongside the boy she was sitting with."Oh, that's your sister? She's so beautiful and the boy is my kid brother" Jenny said getting more happier.Rora's sister knows her brother and they seemed to be friends too."Ooh..." Aurora drawled waiting for the kids to get to them."Big sister" Maya squealed hugging her sister tightly as she got to her, Aurora carried her up and spun her around further increasing the girl's happy giggles.Jenny stares on, her eyes widening as she stares at her colleague. She never knew Aurora could be a playful type and she even smiled. Her smiles are so beautiful and she wonders why she acts
Aurora got to her room and banged the door before Craig could enter."Really Rora?" Craig muttered from outside the door rubbing his head where the door had hit him."Yes, go away since you are not ready to stop talking about useless things, you might as well go home and sleep or get yourself a wolf if you so badly want one" Aurora yelled going towards her bed to lay down.She was exhausted and doesn't need any more disturbances. Big Mandy had already caused her a lot of stress and right now she only needed a long deep sleep.Hours later, Aurora climbed down the stairs after sleeping for hours to see Craig still around.She shoot up her brows and walked towards him as he lay on the only couch in their sitting room operating his phone."You are still around Craig? Aren't you going to work today?" She asked sitting down on the
"Sit here and wait for me, Do not wander off cos I won't look for you, I will be quick" Aurora suddenly muttered hastily moving forward without waiting for him to reply.Craig sighed and nodded then sat on a pavement praying for her not to get caught.He doesn't still understand why she still had to do this when she had gotten a job."I hope you achieve your desires so you could drop this bad attitude of yours, Rora, if only you would listen to me and accept who you really are, I'm sure everything will turn out good for you" He muttered to himself, his eyes searching around for where she could be.Finally sighting her walking behind a man on a leather jacket, he sighed knowing she was about to take out his wallet. He didn't see her do it but he knew she had taken it out because she had moved away from him as swiftly as she came.He waited for her
"So you really skipped work just because of that man Craig? What was that his name again?" Aurora asked her best friend as they both walked home.She couldn't believe Craig would refuse to go to his workplace when his shift started just because the dude from the other day finally gave him a chance."What would you have me do then? I waited for him throughout the morning hours and when it was time for me to go, he appeared and actually sat before me, and you think I'll throw away every effort just for that coffee shop? Duh!" Craig rolled his eyes."You just amaze me Craig. Like how many more people would you roll with as you call it?" Aurora asked raising her brows as she stopped walking."Darling you have no idea what you're missing, if only you could have a taste of a man, you will not stand here to ask me such questions" Craig smiled."There's nothing to taste Craig... I do not
