CHAPTER TEN
AURORA'S P.O.V
"Okay! Finally arrived!" Talia sang out once we were inside her parents house.
I looked around nervously for any sighting of her parents. She must have noticed it because she chuckled and nudged my shoulders.
"You got to relax, my parents aren't here and won't be for the whole month."
"Why?" I asked, very skeptical.
"Because they both went on a business trip, you know how they like to travel for those. So relax, you can stay until they come, then we'll think of what to do."
"Great. Thanks, I can do that."
"You're welcome, as far as I'm concerned, my house is your house so feel free. We can have sleepovers and movie nights. Oh I'm so excited." She squealed like a school girl, I couldn't help but join in her excitement.
At least I have somewhere to sleep and with my best friend for that matter.
I just got back from school and I was rushing because I had to go to work but I wanted change first. Talia was still in school because she had some extracurricular club activities, something I'm not interested in.
"Hi!"
"What the heck!" I screamed, almost jumping out my skin at the voice.
"Alpha Kieran? What are you doing here?"
He raised himself from the wall he was resting against and walked towards me, his hands in his pocket.
"Kieran will do just fine."
I shook my head.
"No, Alpha Kieran, what are you doing here?"
He shrugged and looked around.
"Just came to see how you were doing and keep your company."
I blinked, my eyes wary as I watched him.
"Thank you, as you can see, I'm fine. You didn't have to do this."
"I don't mind." He simply replied, couldn't he just take a hint?
I sighed and headed inside where I changed quickly and rushed out to still see him waiting for me.
"You're still here?"
"I said I was here to keep you company."
"There is really no need, I'm heading to work. Maybe I'll see you later. Bye."
I ran off without waiting for him. It was after walking for a while that I noticed he was still following me. I stopped and spun to face him, a frown on my face.
"Why are you still following me? I thought I told you I was heading to work."
His eyes darted then came to settle on mine.
"I just realized that I wanted a drink so I'm heading right there. I wasn't following you."
I tilted my head, clearly not believing him.
"Are you sure you're not following me?"
He nodded, his lips flat.
"Yes, I am."
"Hmmph! Whatever." I snorted and kept on walking until I reached the bar just in time to see Clara looking for me.
She glanced at her watch and sighed.
"Two minutes late, new record."
I smiled sheepishly, "I got here as fast as I could."
"Whatever, just get to work."
"Yes ma'am."
I immediately put on the bar' shirt uniform and got to work, serving tables and taking tabs.
"Ahem! You seem to have forgotten something."
Alpha Kieran's voice growled in front of me after I happened to stop by his table.
"What did I forget?"
"I've been here for the past hour and I have not been served."
I gasped and stared at him. I knew he was here but I never knew he hadn't been served.
"But why? There are other servers, I'm sure one could have at least attended to you."
He nodded, his eyes closing with the action.
"Yes they did approach me."
"Then why weren't you served?" I almost yelled but held it back in.
"Because you are the one I want to serve me." He deadpanned.
"Really? Are you serious right now?"
"Dead serious."
I sighed, I wasn't ready to bicker with him.
"Alright, tell me what you need, I'll go get it for you."
"Are you really going to give it to me? Anything I need?"
"Yes, its my job so tell me."
He stared at me for a while, his fingers on his lips then he smiled.
"You know...I do like you...you're smart and hardworking."
"Thank...you?" I said it in a question because I was confused, where was it coming from? "Are you going to order now?"
Clara was already glaring at me, that's when it came to me. I lowered my head and whispered.
"Do people know you are an alpha from another pack?"
A smirk crossed his face.
"No, and I intend to keep it that way. A beer will do."
"Huh, okay."
I left him to go get his beer.
"Look at her, the Alpha's son and now that young man. What do you think she's doing with them?"
I paused as I heard the conversation, I turned to see that it was coming from my coworkers.
"She's sleeping with them of course. I'm sure she just wants to use them to elevate her status as an Omega."
"She's shameless. She should know that her place is at the bottom of the pack and nothing can be done about it."
"Tell that to her. She always pretends like she doesn't want to have anything to do with anyone but her real goal is men of high status and looks."
"Such a slut."
My hands were trembling at the brunt of their words, I was about to head over to them and confront them when k felt a heavy hand on my shoulders. I turned back, Alpha Kieran shook his head at me then pulled me away.
I held back my tears until we were outside, that's when I met it flow. He allowed me to cry and said nothing until I was done.
"As for what I wanted..." He began, I looked at him through wet eyelashes, "...how about coming back with me to my pack...."
I was shocked at his words.
"What do you mean?"
"Its obvious you are not treated well in here, so why not come stay with me at my pack?"
"As what?" I couldn't help asking, my breath in my throat.
His silver gaze roamed my face, then he opened his mouth.
"How about...as my mate."
