Chapter four (Something is off)

I dragged Andra to a private corner and gave her a tight slap.

I've been wanting to do that for so long.

"Are you mad?! Why are you behaving so foolishly?!" Do you know that you are putting the secrecy of werewolf existence at risk?!" I yelled.

"It's nice to see you can make use of your position as luna. I precisely thought you were a weakling." She said.

I gave her another slap and pulled her closer to myself by the hair.

"You'd better set yourself straight. Got it?!" I warned.

"Yes, great luna." She answered.

"What do i do about Mr Stark?" She asked.

"You will do nothing." I replied.

"Nothing? But, he insulted you. He ought to be punished. No one insults a luna and goes scott free, especially not a human." Alyssa said in a growling voice.

"I know that very well Alyssa, but we can't hurt him just yet." I said.

"And why is that? You know i can just do it for you at your command." Alyssa asked.

"There is something he is hiding that we do not know about. I want you to find out where he lives tonight. I'm curious to know the reason why he didn't fire you after finding out the truth of what had really occurred between you and Henry." I ordered.

"It will be done as you have said." Alyssa responded.

We went back into the typist section and almost everybody had vacated. 

I and Alyssa packed up what belonged to us and we left the company.

Alyssa stayed outside the company and waited in hiding, to accomplish what i had ordered her to do.

I reached home in twenty minutes, since i was in a cab.

Mother and father aren't home yet. I unlocked the door with my spare key and entered, making sure to lock the door behind me.

The werewolves are expected to assemble again tonight. I don't want to be late, so i had to leave without mother and father.

As the luna i can do as i please. By the time i fully become a luna, even my parents will have no other choice than to bow their heads before me.

Even they know that.

I kept my things in their place and took of my work cloths. I changed into something loose and unlocked the door.

Locking the door behind me, i watched and listened carefully just to be sure i wasn't being watched.

I locked the door behind me and headed straight into our back garden. There i shifted into a werewolf.

I went down on all fours and I ran with super speed to the alpha's fortress.  

The secret hide out where all werewolves have the chance to come together.

I reached there in a few minutes and all the werewolves bowed their heads to welcome me in.

I stood on my two hind legs and proceeded towards the throne, where the alpha was seated.

I bowed before him and he stood from his throne.

Taking my hand, or rather, paw, he led me to a throne beside him.

"Take a look at this throne." He said.

I looked at the throne as he told me to.

"This will be yours in less than two weeks. You will be seated on this throne as my luna." He said.

"I can not wait for that day to come, great alpha." I said.

"All hail the luna!" A werewolf standing next to the throne of the alpha said.

"All hail the luna!" All the werewolves chorused.

They howled at the moon to proclaim my position as luna.

The night got over soon enough. All the werewolves retreated to where they came from and so did i.

I went into my room and fell asleep.

The next morning, i was getting prepared to leave for work. I was about to put on my red dress but then i recollected what Julia had told me yesterday.

The stuff she said about me wearing a red sexy dress everyday to work just to impress the boss.

I put down the red dress and took a dress that was royal blue in colour.

I didn't like the length of the dress, so i put it down as well.

I'm more into short dresses and shorts. I can manage a trouser but never a long gown.

I pretty much don't care about what humans think about me but I just want to proof that i'm no dressing that way because of Mr Stark.

My eyes fell on the perfect dress.

It's b short but not too short, tight but not too tight, and it's the perfect colour too.  

My second choice at colours. A mixture of gold and black.

I put it on and was amazed at how perfectly it fit.

I took put on a gold coloured pair of heels and a purse to match.

Perfection. My mother's blood runs in my veins.

Speaking of mother, where were they last night?

I walked down the stairs and into the dinning room for breakfast.

Mother and father were already seated there as usual.

"Welcome to the table." Father said.

I sat at their midst and observed them for some time.

"Where have you two been since last night?" I asked.

"What?" Mother said.

"You heard me." I replied.

"Well, uh. Let's just say it's business stuff." Mother said.

"At that time? That's when all work places are closed for the day father." I said.

"It was something important that i and your mother had to handle." Father replied.

"What was so important that you and mother had to miss the gathering last night?" I raised a question.

"We are allowed to have our private life at least, aren't we?" Mother asked.

"Of course." I answered.

I decided to let it be and have my breakfast.

After breakfast, i took a cab to work.

Not like i don't have a car but, i just want to live a normal life like the humans, at least at day time.

I arrived at the company and made my way inside.

I could feel all eyes were on me as i stepped foot into the company.

Ugh not again. But at least this time i would know for myself what they really think of me.

All the male workers were making signals to me and trying to get my attention.

On the other hand, most of the females were frowning and some of them were staring at me in jealousy.

I knew that this was my chance to know what they think of me now.

I paid attention to what they had to say about out my new look.

"What a hottie. I wish she was mine." A male worker said.

"Woo what a beautiful damsel." Another said.

"Yeah, i wonder what she would taste like in bed.

Ew, Okay, i think i've had enough from the males for now.

I listened in on the female voices and i thought their perception about me would change.

"Yuck. Doesn't she have any shame? I'm sure the boss must have told her to dress in this manner for him today." A female worker said.

"I, like totes agree with you. Does she really think that outfit will like, increase her salary?" Another agreed with the first.

"I wish i was as beautiful as she is." One said.

"Just imagine the life i could be living by now if i could pull that off." Another female said.

Just what do these people want? That i should dismantle my face or what?

You know what? Their opinion doesn't matter. No matter how hard i try, they will still remain the same. That's humans for you.

I entered the typist section and sat in my part of the office.

Alyssa was already seated at her place as well.

I noticed she was texting in her phone instead of typing.

My phone buzzed and i unlocked it. A message from Alyssa which read.

"You were right about the boss. There is something suspicious about him and we need to find out immediately."

"I knew there was something off about him." I thought to myself.

I texted Alyssa back,

"What did you find out about him?"

She then replied to my text,

"Nothing."

"Huh?" I texted.

"Exactly. Nothing. Isn't that a bit strange for a human? I followed him as you had said but then he vanished into the shadows. He looked very couscous of what he was doing. It was as if he knew i was following him." Alyssa texted back.

"We will have to dig deeper into this. Let's follow him together tonight." I texted.

There is something about Mr Stark that we don't know and we need to find out immediately.

Such hide and seek games isn't what i would expect from a human, unless there is something of great importance.

"Good idea. Watch out, here he comes." Alyssa texted.

I heard his footsteps as he approached my desk.

I pretended nothing had happened and started typing some important documents. Alyssa did the same.

"Andra." Mr Stark said.

"Yes sir?" I answered.

"I need you to make a copy of this as soon as possible and deliver it to my office." He said.

"Sure thing sir." I answered.

Mr Stark glimpsed at Alyssa and then walked away.

"Did you see that?" Alyssa asked.

"Yes, i did." I replied.

I looked at the paper given to me by Mr Stark and it appeared to be a torn out part of a newspaper.

"Human body found torn apart in the middle of the streets. Identified to be the body of one Mr Henry Ford." I read out.

"Henry is dead?!" I yelled.
