Chapter 1
Aurora's POV
“Here's your order.” I placed the bottles of beer on one of the group tables.
The noise in the bar intensified, I scrunched my nose as the strong smell of sweat and too much cologne waftedfrom the men. As usual,the men gathered together to talk about the pack politics, the hottest she wolf in town and some of their side chick. It was their usual routine and I just had to cower and endure everything because life wasn't favourable for me.
“She's hot.” I heard one whisper as I leaned to open the covers of the bottle.
I didn't react to their words and how they tried to flirt with me. I turned around to leave and one of the men grabbed my butt cheek. My grip on the tray tightened, I turned around to see which one of them it was.
“Aurora, get your ass here, the customers won't serve themselves!!” My boss's voice echoed from the counter.
I sighed, looked away from the one who just assaulted me and went back to serving. Clara, my boss blocked my path as I was about to serve another table.
“They are complaining about you Aurora, you should try to make them happy!” Her hands rested on her waist as she spoke. “All those goodies you have.” She pointed to my breast and to my private part. “If I were you I would start using them to get what I want. Your life isn't going to get easy here if you don't have anyone to protect you.” She added them with a roll of her eyes, she ordered.. “Now go back to serving and make my customers happy!”
I bowed slightly to her and went back to serving but there was no way I would let them sleep with me and touch me. I may be an outcast and an omega but I have my ego.
I whispered fiercely as I moved.
"Just one. All I need is one bastard to mess with me. I don't care if I have to go rogue just to teach them a lesson."
I didn't finish working until later in the night, my whole body ached as I walked back home. I got home but suddenly stopped short. Right on my porch, a dark figure was standing as waiting for me.
"Who's there?" My voice came out in a shaky whisper. I took a step closer to check.
"Hey Aurora!" The dark figure called out cheerfully.
"Talia?" She was my best friend.
I sighed when I saw her emerging from the shadows, a groom her face as she ran to meet me.
“Took you forever." She helped with my bag as we entered.
I groaned when I sat on the wooden chair and rested my head on the table. Talia placed a pot of soup and some dishes in front of me, I raised my head up and she nudged me to eat.
“Why did you bring this?” I frowned.
I was very sure that there wasn't a grain of food in the house when I left home. Talia must have bought it or taken it from her house and I didn't like whenever she did that.
Talia was from a high rank family, in the pack there's hierarchy and the position you belong to determines the quality of life you live.
The Alpha, for example is the head of the pack and the one in control of the pack system, followed by the Beta the second in command then the Gamma, the third in command, then the Delta and the Omega the lowest in the food chain.
The high rank wolves get whatever they want while the low rank have to slave to their rule and I was part of the lower rank while Talia comes from the high rank family.
“Don't do this anymore." I told her and she shook her shoulder.
“I don't want to be a burden to you Talia." I stressed out when she didn't want to comply.
“You aren't a burden to me, you said you've accepted me as your friend can't I at least do these for you?” She folded her arms angrily and looked away from me.
Knowing how stubborn she can be, I let her be.
"Thanks for the food anyway."
Honestly, if she hadn't brought something along, I would have slept on an empty stomach. The said stomach growled as if in agreement.
“It's late already, I'm sleeping over." She said and I choked on my food.
Talia rushed to the kitchen, brought water and gave it to me. I took it and gulped it in. After calming down, I looked up to talk to her.
“Your parents don't like you coming here, you are going to get into trouble."
“Spare my wolf Aurora." She joked. “I didn't tell them I was coming to your place,I told them I went for night class." She said and I breathed a sigh of relief.
“But I don't have a bed, I sleep on the floor." I pouted sadly.
“Then we'll sleep on the floor together!” She said excitedly.
Talia and I chatted all night. Deep down I was grateful for her company and with her around I knew I wasn't alone.
The next day, just as I was about to head home after work, Clara suddenly called me to her office.
I entered Clara's mini office, she was counting some money. When she saw that I entered she quickly packed them in the drawer, she cleared her throat awkwardly, I pretended not to notice.
“I have a job for you but I'm not sure if you could do it.”
“Where?”
“Club red, it's a waitress job, just to serve liquor as you always do here.” She waited for my reply.
Club red was the most expensive and restricted club in the town, it was called club red because of the sinful and audacious activities that were held there. And the worst case was that it wasn't for low rank, only high rank were allowed in.
“How much?” I asked, the payment would determine if it's worth risking my life.
“Three hundred bucks.” She said,
“Five hundred bucks.” I bargained.
“No.” She shook her head and I nodded.
"Bye then."
I turned around to leave, but she called me back. I smirked and turned to look at her.
“When do you need me?”
“Tonight.”
