Fated Human Mate novel Chapter 5

"That sucks." I shrugged. There was nothing else that I could do. "Well, at least you can stay here." She said trying to make light of the situation.

"How come you're not going to school today?" I asked.

"It's the last day and you only had to go if you had an exam and I finished my yesterday." She explained.

"Cool, so what are your plans for summer break." I pulled the blinds open and flipped the close sign, open."

"Boring as usually. I swear I can't wait to go to college." Melissa was a high school sophomore at one out of the two high schools. I went to the other one, it was a private school that wasn't even half as big as hers. "This town is just so boring." Forest Park was a really small town, the population being less than 10,000 but to me it was home and there's no place I would rather live.

"Well, you got a couple of years." I laughed.

"I know." She begins replacing and cleaning off syrup and ketchup bottles on the tables. The door rattle letting us know that a customer had come in.

"Morning Mr. and Mrs. White." I greeted an elderly couple that came in almost every other morning since they had retired 0 plus years ago.

"Morning!" She handed me a basket of cookies. "Sorry about your dad." She smiled at me with pity in her eyes before taking their seat at their booth.

"Thanks, Mrs. White." I croaked.

I took the basket and placed it on the counter. "W-What will it be this morning, the regular?" I could feel the tears start to build up and my throat to started to close.

I was seriously hoping no one would bring him up. I had finally reached a point where I could stop crying. "Yes, darling." I wrote it on my pad and waved to Melissa to pour them some coffee as I ripped the order off my pad and placed it on to Jack's order stand, and hit the bell. "Order up."

I went into my office and shut the door. An hour later when I was finally able to stop crying I headed back to the front.

ALPHA RYAN

"What do you mean she said no?" I asked Willie.

"She didn't even let me finish my sentence before she slammed the door in my face." He said angrily. I could tell it bothered him the way the human girl treated him, I, on the other hand, found it hilarious.

"Next time you go, bring my check book." I open my drawer and threw my checkbook in his direction.

"Okay." He nodded before exiting my office.

"Fine. But you need to get a job." I pulled my wallet from my pocket.

"Fine." I handed her my credit card. "Are you really going to go see a witch?" She teased.

"Who told you that?"

Witches were one of the many creatures besides werewolf's that quietly existed.

"Mom did, she said you were going there to ask if you would be meeting your mate anytime soon." I groaned.

"Why did I tell dad?" I asked myself out loud.

"You should know by now that he tells her everything." She laughed, "Well I gotta go." She kissed my cheek before leaving my office.

After finishing off the rest of my work. I headed to the pack house to see how training was going. Half of the wolves were either running laps or doing hand and hand combat, there were a few younger pups watching in the distance. "How's training going Daniel?" I asked my Gamma.

Daniel was a sixteen-year-old wolf that had taken over his role at the age of 14 because of an attack on the pack that left his father dead. "Great Alpha. A lot of the young wolves are improving."
