1. The monsters from her nightmare
Sapphire Blue Pack,
Texas,
"Aria, this is for table five." Aria nodded at her coworker as she placed the empty tray back on the counter.
She just returned after delivering the orders for table fifteen and others were already waiting for her.
"Yes, Mandie." There were three trays occupied with a mountain of French fries, two buckets of crispy chicken wings and five big glasses of coke floating with bubbles on the top.
Painful expressions crossed her features as she looked at it. Out of all the other waitresses that worked here, she did the most work. She sighed and reached for the trays of coke and French fries and swung back to deliver them to the hungry customers.
Dine and Date was among the busiest fast food centers in the pack that never went without sales in a day. There were customers flooding in all the time. The food here was tasty and mouth watering and attracted an end number of customers daily.
Her pace was rushed and prompt, she balanced each tray in her hands. She walked steadily in her converse shoes with a smile on her face. Although the waitresses here were supposed to wear high heels along with black and white uniforms as per the norms, Aria smoothly walked in her shoes. Carrying orders in hands while balancing on six inches high heels was not something she thought she could do
She swept a gaze over the room at other waitresses. Then peered at herself. She was not only an exception who wore shoes against high heels but also an odd one out who preferred trousers against short skirts.
There were two kinds of uniforms available for the females for selection. One was black trousers paired up with a white shirt for a uniform. Second was a skirt with a shirt and a black tie. She chose the former alternative.
Unlike the other waitresses who preferred as long heels as they could carry along with tight barely-there skirts— which earned them a good amount of tip that was double or triple of what Aria earned as her salary— she was comfortable wearing trousers.
There was just one pathetic, self made policy that every waitress followed. It was that— The more seductively you dress the more handsome tip you take home from the customers'
Since the majority of them were males who only came here to enjoy the hot sight of beautiful waitresses leaning against their tables, and showing off their bare cleavages or round curvy asses from under their short skirts, the waitresses here earned tips which were more satisfying than their salaries.
But Aria was different. An exception. She reveled in the comfort of trousers and a shirt buttoned to the neck. To make it look less boring, she threw a waistcoat on it that she purchased from a thrift store. Correction... It was not a thrift stone in her perspective. It was a mall for Aria.
Not that she desired to make money using her body as bait. She was happy with her earnings. Even if it was as low as seven hundred dollars per month.
Aria shook her head and focused. It was not the time to think about her status or appearance. Fear snarled in her chest as she was to approach the monsters from her nightmare.
Regarding the five guys sitting on table five, Aria's body tensed. She attempted to present herself regularly. Unfortunately, adrenaline kicked in like overflowing streams in her veins. They were horrible. They were... Her Bullies.
Dilane Scotswood, Kai Sinclair, Neil Weaver, Oliver Paterson and Zack Archer were best friends— and cut from the same cloth. They got a thrill out of bullying the weak ones.
'Don't be frightened, Aria. Just smile and face them, and quickly run off once you put the trays on the table. There's no need to be scared. This is your job, alright.'
She tried to motivate herself. But fear ate her insides for the guys were dangerous. She closed her eyes defeatedly and took deep breaths. Even self-motivation could be of no help at this moment!
"Sir, your order," With a shaky voice, I spoke while placing the two trays on the circular large table.
The five pairs of eyes upturned to settle on her face. Smirks burst on their lips while she struggled to keep her shoulders straight.
"Look, guys, it's Aria. I always forget that she works here. How are you, babe." Dilane wickedly smiled as he took her hand to kiss the back of it.
She flinched back so as to make a safe distance from the table. Aria's heart thrummed in her chest as the others winked and devilishly gawked at her as if she was what they craved to taste at this moment than the order they placed.
"I... I w-will go and get the remaining of your orders, Sir." She hurriedly spoke and whirled around to bail out.
They were her classmates. Aria didn't shrink in fear because she was scared of them. Although that was one of the many reasons, what really shook her insides was because they came from wealthy upper-class werewolf families whereas she was an Omega.
Although there wasn't no discrimination in the Sapphire Blue Pack, the young wolves treated the ones belonging to the omega class like shit as though they were plague personified. And these guys from her school that she was battling to get away from were known to have a thing for the Omegas. Not a good thing!
"Wait darling," Aria's body ceased all motions including breathing as Neil grabbed her wrist.
He sat on the edge of his seat, holding her wrist as he smirked. "Neil, I work here. Please let go. My boss will screw me if he sees this." She uttered in a trembling voice.
Neil smirked wider and got up from his chair. Taking a look around the room, he pulled Aria closer.
"Oh sweetheart, your manager is not around. You need not freak out." He trailed a finger on her jaw.
Her cheeks heated up as her heart climbed up in her chest. Aria struggled to get out of his hold looking to her right side over the counter where her co-worker, Jennifer, was witnessing everything with reproachful glare that screamed— You shouldn't be doing this.
Jennifer's appraisal skipped her breaths. She disliked Aria. In her eyes, Aria was a greedy selfish bitch. She made her skin scorching hot as her hair stood in amazement. She prayed to god to get her out of this mess.
"Neil please," She turned back to him and pleaded.
Since Jennifer loathed her, she wouldn't mind going as far as submitting a complaint against Aria to their boss— saying that she was flirting with the customers during her shift. She had made her intention known to Aria that she was eagerly looking forward to seeing her kicked out of this place. This seemed like a valid chance for her.
"Neil, let go!"
Something flickered in his eyes—his bad intentions and lust.
He drew her closer to him, "Okay fine, I will let you go, Aria. But on one condition!"
She gulped the knot that was clogging her throat, "Wh-what is it?"
"Give me a kiss on the lips." He articulated with a wink and the creepy fingers of silence wrapped around the room.
Shock held her immobile as Aria couldn't breathe.
'Nope, I will not give my first kiss to him.'

2. Got away by an inch Silence befell, and the crowded hall turned eerily still. Every existing soul was rendered motionless as they stared in the direction of table number five. All the gazes burned holes in Aria’s back. To say she was used to all the ignorance and cold treatment everyone gave her. As every eyeball appraised her at this moment, she prayed for the windows to burst open. She wished for a tornado to sweep her out of the room and take her away. Aria lacked the courage to face or fight them, so she did what she could to avoid their gaze! She shut her eyes tight, cutting out the sight of this nightmare. But her life was a nightmare in itself, and there was nothing that could stop this from happening. This was inevitable. Her body turned white, and she shut her eyelids tighter. Blood drained from her cheeks as Aria waited for the touch of his lips to fall on her own. Great! She was going to lose her first kiss to a bully. An undeserving, filthy bully who all but respect
3. What are his intentions? Aria occupied herself back with her work. She neared the tables with the orders, "Enjoy your order, ma'am." with a bright smile on her face. She had long forgotten that she had encountered a scenario where she had almost lost her first kiss as well as the job. Now the way she greeted her customers it did not look like she was even bothered a minute ago.She worked zealously, accepted whatever tip she received for her kindness and strode back to the counter in order to deliver the orders that were waiting to be dispatched."You are too lucky, bitch! I heard the alpha's son barely helps anyone or takes any action against anyone, but he did for you. What exactly did you do in the morning before starting your day? Do tell me as I need the same luck. It has been a long time since I last got laid with an upper class hot wolf." Her twenty two years old, kinky and curvy coworker, Jennifer uttered as she leaned on the counter, her eyes looking in the direction of
4. The magazine.Enjoying the view as the sun sat half above the horizon spreading orangish hue on the land and building, Aria merrily walked by the side of the street with a happy smile.She got a tip of a hundred dollars and that was like the biggest she ever got in a day. The money was going to be used for new magazines as she loved them and the pictures they held. Precisely the pictures of... Shhh, it is a secret.Aria maintained her smile, her long pony tail swung left and right like a pendulum in force as she hopped happily. A lot of things happened today. Her co-workers who never spared her a glance spoke nicely with her today. They offered her to have lunch with them and the manager allowed her to leave before the end of her shift. All of these happened because of Jake. Coming from a low class also brought about a lot of drawbacks and barriers that she faced since her childhood. And she was overwhelmed to know that a small encounter with Jake would make her popular in the re
5. Our paths clashed again, Aria.Shit, the magazine!Aria looked at it then at the shelf. She was bloody standing near the shelves holding Star and Sunshine. Goosebumps erupted across her skin as he was approaching the same shelves for the magazine she couldn't afford to get caught.'What do I do? I don't want him to see me with this magazine.'She nipped at her lips in utter distress. Her palms sweated and cheeks started turning crimson. Aria froze in her spot rather than bailing out for she was lost in the maze of his eyes.He was standing by the counter, the shop owner merely affected by his presence. Jake had a frown on his face and his lips twisted from time to time while he complained to Kai about how the magazine and its articles were affecting him; nonetheless his charm never declined."You should see my whatsapp!" Jake hissed."It is flooded with messages from random girls. I feel like my number has been leaked. Just look at the mass messages I have received ever since the l
6. Good boy with bad boys Fear engulfed her. Aria stepped away from Kai while holding her chest. She stared at him as frightful trembles ran through her. She was on the verge of bursting into tears.She hated them all. They were monsters. She frequently wondered why a kind guy like Jake hung out with them. He was in a bad company of monsters."What are your intentions, Aria?" One of Kai's brows shot up. Aria's teeth clattered as he stepped towards her. "Are you purposely following us? Trying to catch the eyes of one of us and be our girlfriend?"It was pure bull shit. She cringed but couldn't utter a word out. She felt like a kitty in a dog's kennel— exposed to sharp teeth and a painful death. "Kai," She looked over her shoulder with a gasp as once again Jake appeared beside her.Although relieved, she looked at him displeasingly. As much as she liked him helping her, she loathed it that he was friends with her bullies. They were notorious freaks. According to her, they deserved to
7. Curse Zavier's eyes were set ablaze with malice. He scrunched his nose as he looked longer at Aria's colorless face. His mouth was sealed in a line and he pressed his hands on his knees, trying to suppress his building irritation. "Some other time." Disgust spilled from his tone. Aria was a daughter he never wished to have. He was ashamed to call her as his in public. For a strong and respectful hunter, all she brought to him was shame and laughter from others. Being weak was one thing... And a thing that he tolerated. But being born with no wolf was truly unacceptable. He put up with her all these years of her life. But when he learned that she was no better than a human with zero powers a few months back on her eighteenth birthday, he couldn't hide his chagrin whenever she came in front of him. "You've been saying that for three months now, dad. Please eat with me. I don't like to eat alone." Aria's voice was a whisper.It's not like she loved to present her weak side to her
8. For you Her breathing fractured as Aria observed him rise on his feet. He was already broad and huge, and with that strong gait, he made Aria look like a little girl in his scrutiny. She reluctantly licked her lips as she attempted not to freak out. But he was in her house? The house that was legally owned by her father, who deeply detested the alpha and his entire line and family. "Hi," Jake waved at her, stopping a hand's distance away from her. His mouth was upturned and a radiant light emitted from his enigmatic black orbs. Aria forgot to breathe as her gaze descended to his chest. The emblem of the school's football team on the left side of the varsity jacket he was wearing glimmered in the light. His hair was in chaos and the beads of sweat appearing on his temples made her blink her eyes. "Already leaving for school? But we still have three hours before the first lecture starts." He spoke, his voice scattering tingles all over her skin. Aria was unable to breathe adequ
9. Decent... Or deceitful? "So, you didn't tell me the reason why your father wanted to see my father?" Aria curiously lifted her eyes to his face. They were in his Audi, a sexy beast as black as his eyes. Aria was hesitant when he offered to drive her to school- that too in front of her father. Her soul almost departed her body as those words drummed in her ears. Her father was not fond of her as a daughter within the four walls of their house. But to the world outside, he was a possessive father. Guys were afraid of him and they preferred to leave her be. No good guy approached her for a date or a coffee. Except the bullies in the school, no one dared to take an interest in her. But watching Jake fearlessly hold her wrist and stop her as she tried to leave, and then offer to drive her to school in his car in front of her warrior father who was feared by everyone, Aria couldn't help but do a summersault psychologically. He was not just brawny from the outside but also brave from
