Her Forbidden Alpha

Chapter60　A Confession

It was later that evening and Scarlett was at the restaurant where she worked part-time, although lately, it felt like she had rarely covered many shifts with everything that was going on. It was on pack grounds and being the only restaurant in the area it was always busy. The owners were an old werewolf couple although they didn’t do as much around here anymore, they were always there making sure no one messed around and keeping order.

Today was another busy evening, although it was a weekday and Scarlett was busy waitressing, there was no uniform as it was a casual place. She was dressed in black jeans and a white blouse that she left a few buttons open from the top, paired with some studded heels. She had on a tiny apron that held a notepad and pen, only because her mind link was gone, and she couldn’t link with the cooks in the back.

“Are those ours, sugar?!” David the owner called, from where he sat near the window, talking to some other elder werewolves. she walked over to put their mugs of hot drinks in front of them

“Yes, they are, and Claire wants you at the counter when you’re done,” Scarlett said turning around

“Best hurry,” one of the other men said, “Now that our Alpha Scarlett’s stated,”

Scarlett gave him a small smirk, “Exactly,”

It was common knowledge now that she was an Alpha, and although many of the younger men had ego issues, most of the elderly male wolves took it well and joked about it.

“Excuse me, Scarlett! Can we get some more water?” Keira screeched making Scarlett flinch, her voice was nasally yet at the same time screechy, it reminded her of someone scraping their nails down a chalkboard.

“Right…” Scarlett said walking off to grab a bottle of water. Placing it on their table she was about to walk off when Keira suddenly grabbed her wrist

“We’re not done yet!” Keira said smugly. “Clear this table up!” Scarlett pulled free glaring at the woman,

“Watch it… I don’t like being told what to do and next time make sure you don’t touch me.” She growled her eyes flashing a steely silver. Keira paled feeling her power rolling off her and moved back in her seat nervously, her two friends looked as scared as she did. Scarlett turned to leave, grabbing a few plates from their table, and headed to the kitchen sighing inwardly. She didn’t actually miss working here, she preferred the salon but thanks to the dangers of venturing out she had to stick to pack grounds as much as possible.

Lost in thought she didn’t look where she was walking, missing the slight bump in a floorboard that was yet to be replaced from a fight that took place here a few weeks back, she stumbled almost hitting the ground face first when someone caught her.

“Fuck!” she gasped grabbing onto her saviour’s shirt, popping one of the buttons off his red button-down.

“Wow, you want to fight even when someone’s saving you huh?” Liam said his warm eyes sparkling with mischief.

“Sorry,” Scarlett said quickly letting go and smoothening her own shirt. “I was distracted,”
