Chapter four

“Are you ready?” Harley says while I am still in my room, trying to apply my lip gloss. 

“I’d be there in a jiffy”

“Okay, I want to feed Dolly” She says, but I give no response.

This is two days after I left my former life. After I was attacked on my way to leadCity, I got a new friend. She nearly ran over me with her car and from there I followed her home after she insisted since I had nowhere else to go. That’s after another rude man had splashe rain water on my

dress and on top of it didn’t even apologize to me even after he looked at me.

Harley is a sweet soul and cheerful apart from her liking to sing always and with high tone. when I say sing, I don’t mean correctly, I call her Queen of the Off keys.

I had left my car where I was attacked because I didn’t want to bring anything about Liam to my new life. And one thing again, I couldn’t stop thinking about that Silver wolf and for one reason, I kept his fur with me. I don’t know why though,but I did. 

It’s a Monday night and I have a job interview. I haven’t gotten a job since I came but Harley has promised me a job in her work place. She works in a Club though. I have no choice but to take it as much as I hate alcohol. I need something to get my mind off thinking about Sarah and Liam’s betrayal.

“Jane!!! You want to go late to your interview right?” Harley bawls from the lounge. Phew, she’s such a pain in the neck. 

“I’m done” I say and quickly pick up my purse. I’m wearing a shining black dress that stops on my knees. Little makeup to make me radiate in the night, after all I am going to a nightclub. 

I walk out of the room hastily and enter the living room. “Oh goodness” I groan and cover my ears. She is singing her off keys as usual. 

“I’m just starting” she chuckles and comes close to me. She positions her mouth close to my ear and sings even louder. I giggle and try pushing her aside but she follows me or rather glued to me like a leech.

“Harley!!“ I call out and push her. She has such a beautiful smile. And plus I didn’t tell her I am a werewolf, and I am never going to. 

“Please let’s go”I add and tilt my head. She looks at me and makes funny faces. “Bye Dolly” she says and waves. Dolly is her parrot actually . The one thing Harley never plays with. Funny as it sounds, they sing together. Such a weirdo.

The door bell chimes. “Are you expecting anyone?” She turns to me. “ I don’t even know anyone in here” I shrug.I haven’t had any conversation with anyone in LeanCity since I came, apart from Harley. 

“Let me check it out” she walks to the door and opens it. “Kyle..” she coos. I see a young man with brown hair. The name is familiar. That’s Her boyfriend that she doesn’t stop ranting about.

“You didn’t tell me you are coming, baby” she hugs him. “You never told me you hate surprises ”He says and she shakes her head smiling. “Of course I don’t”.

They walk into the house alongside each other. My eyes meet with Kyle and I must say that he’s worth the hype from Harley. He is handsome and muscular with nice dark eyes.

“Hi” I greet but he doesn’t respond.

“Who is she?“He halts and points his right hand at me. “Oh, this is Jane, my new friend and roommate” I had taken the name Jane, Jane Silver when i entered the city. Harley had asked me and so I called my wolf's name and not knowing a surname to use,the only word that came to mind was silver. I was thinking about the silver wolf I guess.

“What do you mean? I have warned you from having stupid friends and now you tell me she’s your friend and also your room mate. Is this a joke or something” he growls at her and his face is red. I’m confused at this point. My jaw drops slightly and my eyes narrow.

“Kyle, please calm down, she's….” Harley is still trying to explain. Kyle gives her a face reshuffling slap. She bobbles and pressed her hand on her cheeks.

“Shut the hell up, bitch!” He grabs her arm, veins popped on his forehead. 

I am in awe and my mouth is wide open. My blood is seething in rage. I never knew having a friend now warrants a slap from a boyfriend. “By the time I’m back, I don’t….” He stops “ you know what to do” he bolts out of the room after he pushes Harley.

“Harley” I rush to her. She is crying, heavily. “I’m really sorry about that” she says to me before I could even speak. She wipes off the tears on her face. 

“Why are you sorry? Why did that asshole lay his hands on you?”

She turns to me and shakes her head. “Please don’t call him that. I love him. Please let’s not just talk about this, we have an interview to catch up with. I am fine” she tries faking a smile. She spreads her cheeks, but unfortunately it also spreads Kyle’s five fingers imprint on her cheeks. 

She walks out to her car and I follow her in silence. The whole ambiance changed. While in the car as she drives, no one says a word.

After minutes of driving in silence, she parks her car beside a large building. Though one thing I still haven’t understood is how someone who works in a club own a car.

“Let’s go” she says with a frail voice and opens the door. She has been avoiding eye contact with me since we left the house. “Okay” I step out of the car. 

“And one thing Jane, My boss is a tight rope. He is very rude and strict. Watch your actions and swallow his” she says and finally looks at me. “ Okay” I nod.

We walk into the building and even just before we entered, the music and indistinct chatter hugs my ears. I look around and see a couple of people chit chatting and drinking. Just a few notice our entrance.

“Please wait here” she says and walks away. I’m a little tensed, but it’s normal I guess. Jane is growling inside as she has been doing. I close my eyes and breath out. It’s been three days without me shape shifting or even talking to her or using my wolf abilities. 

“Let’s go, he is in the office.” Harley startles me a little. “Okay” I smile.

She leads me towards a staircase. She climbs and I am right behind her, silently observing the palatial club. It’s extremely classy and well structured. 

“Here we are. Please remember what I said earlier. Keep your temper in check if you truly want this job.” I sigh after She speaks. “ I will try” I scoff. She smiles, knowing that I easily get irate. We know each other for just a week, and it’s more like a month.

She knocks on the door. “Come in” a husky voice utters. we both sigh and Harley grabs the door knob but before she pushed the door open, she turned to me. “Are you ready?” She says 

“ Yes,” I replied. She nods and push the door open. 

She walks in first while I am behind her. “You!?” I snarl in shock at who I see sitting on the black swivel chair. My eyes widens. Harley turns to me in shock.

“Who are you?” He says and stands on his feet.

It is my first enemy in leadCity. The man that splashed dirty rain water on me…
