"Hurry up!' He shouted. "Get those bags into the truck quickly, lazy workers,'' the manager yelled, coming toward us with his big belly and his white beards, wearing his blue loose trousers and white sleeve. "Don't you have anything more important to do than gossip, get your asses up and work." He ordered.
We all workers immediately stopped discussing and giggled in silence.
I went forward, carried the bag to the truck as I loaded it. It was quite heavy but I managed to get it up, using most of my strength.
After all, it is my work, my job and no one else's work.
If I refuse to get a hold of this, I will be fired instantly and I don't want that shit, it's ridiculous and it's so damn tough getting another job, quite hard and thinking of my bills even worsen the case.
"Hey, wolf.'
I knew who that was, the instant I heard his voice. "Hey, Mike,'
He always uses that nickname, especially when I'm outside.
He tapped on my shoulder with a smile. "I can see you are working so hard, sweetie.'
Mike is my best friend, who helped me through my rough moments, put me through life and taught me on how to protect myself when I was kicked out of the clan.
He is an Alpha, almost six feet tall, muscular and well built, long blonde hair, blue eyes, pink boundaries, pointed nose, has this oval shape of face, a bit lean, got bright features and he was as dazzling as the sun. Everywhere he went, girls flooded around him like bees, he was quite attractive, a bit feminine, he was still entirely handsome and also quite wealthy. Dressed in some casual clothes and orange snickers, his hair was tired into a ponytail and definitely admired by some of the workers here. I could recall when I almost got beaten by one of his fans because they thought I was his girlfriend.
"Oh, my! He is so hot.' One of them whispered happily.
"I want him for myself,' the blonde girl added.
What a bunch of losers.
I smiled. "What the fuck are you doing here, I thought you don't like seeing me doing such works.' I snickered, playfully nudging him in the shoulder.
"Came to see you and how you are doing this work and being under the hot sun, how your skin doesn't burn."
"As you can see, I'm busy as fuck, no work, no money, no food. I gotta do what I'm gonna do." I replied, chuckling, twisting my lips sideways. "A girl gotta do what she gotta do, man.'
"Yeah," he rolled his eyes at me, exhausted from hearing those words from me anyway. "I get you, come on, you are bigger than this, you need a good air conditioner and a nice food, even a spa to relax the bones. Life is short.'
"Not for us, wolves.'
"This is why you need a mate beside you, you are older now. Why don't you look for the one who will love and take care of you. You are suffering and you don't want me to help you, which is quite unfortunate.'
Can't believe the years have gone by so much, now that I think about it.
"I don't need a mate,' I said. "I can take care of myself.'
My life was already a living hell as it is, I'm tired, I don't need a mate. I am a woman and I can work, feed myself and make ends meet.
Don't need a fucking Alpha.
"When was the last time you had blood, your skin is so pale, that's why you find it hard lifting a damn box.' I looked around hoping no one would hear him.
"I don't need blood, I can handle this myself,' I put the last box inside and shut down the truck.
"Is that so,' he laughed. "So much for a hybrid, acting tough all the time." He mumbled.
"I'm famished,' I said out loud. "Come on, let's go eat before the manager sees us here.'
"Alright.' He agreed as we all got to my favourite place to order some burgers before he got a call and promptly left me there saying it was urgent.
I had to do this alone, well, it was fun.
"Have a nice day, Mrs Rieka." The worker cheerfully waved at me.
"Thank you so much, Nicki." I waved, holding my bag, heading to the door.
I was their favourite and regular customer anyway.
I closed the glass door, humming happily, walking out of the KCC BURGERS.
Damn, they had the best hamburger in the whole wide world, the aroma was enticing, hungering in my little world, I bumped into someone, painfully, winced, rubbing my forehead.
Who was this stupid person ready to ruin my day for me?
I glanced up, only to see a couple of men who were dressed in all black and eyeglasses and appeared like bodyguards standing in front of me.
Man, they look like batman in the movie, the expression was not a laughing moment at all and by their scents, I could tell they were Alphas and betas, wolves from a powerful clan.
Who were they? I looked behind me, were they escorting someone wealthy or something?
I gazed at them again, their stares were tearing deep into my soul, then, I remembered what transpired earlier and before I could apologize for doing nothing wrong, he grabbed me and put a cloth on my nose, I struggled with the man and blanked out, falling in the man's arms.
I woke up, finding about six men sitting in their seats. I was in the middle of them and they seemed wealthy and were Alphas, I could smell them right away, the air and how stuffy the atmosphere was, terrified me.
Was I kidnapped by these Alphas?
Why? I wasn't someone important, just an ordinary waitress and a bag carrier to earn a living, what do they want from me?
I glanced up, and seeing the Alphas properly in front of me, shocked me so much that I almost fell off my chair, if not that I was tied to it with chains.
"Hi, sweetie,' One of them beamed, got up from his chair and walked close to me, with a twinkle of his fingers. The chairs appeared behind him and he sat down on them and folded his legs across each other, fixing his black suit.
