Outside Mj was doing her best to level her anger and nausea while she cleaned bird nests and egg leftovers out of the sign letters above the butcher shop, she so very much just wanted this day to end but unfortunately she still had her shift at the bar. “Luckily Lou was sending her home after this so she could take a much needed shower and she would even have a few extra hours to herself before she dove once again into the pit of other people and their bullshit” she thought.
Mj crouched low as the two men on the ground looked up toward her and the one they called Tanner waved at her like an excited child in a parade. “Come on down doll, we don't bite much” he paused before the last word. Ace punched Tanner in the arm “Look we don't blame you for being standoffish but we really wont hurt you and I think Lou was looking for you anyway, if you would like we can help you down but if not we understand and won't get in your way”
“It's nice to meet you Sam,” Mj said partially ignoring the others, she looked directly at Ace and spoke through gritted teeth“As long as you dont ever fucking put your hands on me again we can call it good”. Mj darted her eyes to the man they called Ed “Ed….nice to meet you” then she looked at Tanner.
Dante was furious,”how could this happen? He needed to get his mind clear and get his wolf under control. He would head to the slaughterhouse and talk to Mara about what had been happening.” He thought “and maybe he might even be able to get some information about his little kitten since Mara lived in Lowder. NO! What the fuck was wrong with him why couldnt he stop thinking about that woman for more than a few minutes.” Dante was borderline irate with his wolf and himself. “It was like he needed to see her again to be able to settle his mind. He didn't even want to talk, he just wanted to see her to see what it was his wolf thought was so amaz
Dante couldn't remember exactly when he first heard his wolf but he was sure it was after he had come to live with Azreal and Tanner. He remembered the old Alpha being concerned when Dante first shifted. His wolf was full grown even though Dante was only about 15 and the pack elders had called a meeting to explain to Dante that he was special, Or rather his wolf was special.
Mara came in through the back door and hollard out “Mj my love, I got a surprise for you” Mj smiled, “Oh yea” she hollered behind her as she set to placing out drink menus and coasters, “not that anyone used them really” Mj thought, but the owner insisted they be there so she did it every shift. “I'm glad you're here, we so need a closing night. Some funky shit happened to me today and you're never gonna believe it” Mj called out to Mara as she got closer.
“What the fuck are you doing “ Mj laughed as she grabbed Mara’s wrists to move her hands from her face. “No not yet, it's a surprise” Mara almost squealed with excitement .“What’s a surprise” Mj asked,“Mara was a strange girl but this was a little outside the box, even for her” Mj thought.
After a few hours everyone had kind of come to the conclusion they had enough to drink and it was getting late, Mj broke the silence of grumbled talks of not wanting to go home yet. “Well, I had lots of fun Mara, thanks for introducing me to your friends but it’s probably time to call it a night.'' Mj picked up the remaining empty bottles and tossed them in the trash before opening the back door and waiting for everyone to start shuffling out. “Hay” Tanner said in a whining voice “we are your friends now too” Mj laughed and shook her head “great! I'm not so sure that's a good thing”. Sam shoved Tanner out the door and put h
Dante looked around the familiar apartment and could still smell his scent there. He looked out at the balcony while she went to the small kitchen and started the coffee. Dante walked up to her window and put his hand against it. “You should have curtains on this window,” he said. “Why?” Mj said from behind him. Dante huffed “Well what if a perv looks in your window” the words bit him like a whip, “he was talking about himself” he thought.
