After Gavin left with his beta following behind him, she felt safe to look at their retreating forms. He watched Lucas move. He was a powerful werewolf with a soul. Many in higher ranks had sold their souls to power but not Lucas. He was a real man. He was a real man with morals. She liked the way he walked. But he was abit intimidating and he had a power aura that kept people away. But he was fair. He was the perfect wolf. He was a ray of hope in this population. She had been meaning to go talk to him at times but she never got the courage. He was always hanging out with the alpha crowd. She kept her distance from the powerful. She didnt want to get hurt but she wasn’t going to watch while others got hurt either. She didnt have to fight to protect herself and others. There were diplomatic ways.

Kelly Anne watched as Lucas got into his chevrolet that he was going to use for picking up Gillian, the alpha’s sister, the most conceited and least considerate girl of her class with alot of genetic alpha power than Kelly Anne could never dream of but didnt envy. With power came responsibility. Kelly Anne wanted to use her gifts for helping others and not terrorising or abusing others unlike how her father did. Now she had a safe home and she wanted to make everyone feel safe.

As the car engine of Lucas’s car made a sound, Kelly Anne walked quickly outside to watch him leave. When he left he left a void. She never felt the courage to tell him that he was the only man she fully trusted and admired in this city. He truly was an angel. He had saved her from a severe beating at school and ever since then no one bothered her. All because of Lucas. He was noble like that. He didn’t exercise his power when he could. He only did it when he needed to. He was a beta with heart. Right now she really hoped Gillian didnt hurt him. Gillian was no ordinary wolf. She was an alpha. A dangerous alpha you couldnt say no to like any alpha. Gillian and Gavin took and never gave.

Kelly Anne sighed as she called a taxi to get herself to work. She had to work at the centra bar. As she reached there she didnt find it to be busy since higher ranking wolves who afforded drinks there were out at the drinks safari around town going from one diner to another to then end up there. After not so long the gang of the powerful and brutal arrived at the mansion like central bar and Kelly Anne got on with serving and being careful not to run anyone the wrong way. She had learnt fast. After Lucas had saved her she had learnt her lesson to be very careful. Lucas couldnt save her again if he didnt get there fast enough.

As Kelly Anne was serving drinks time went so slow. She didnt like serving the guys mostly who wanted her attention. She wasnt ready to allow any man in her space. She didnt trust any of them. She only trusted lucas. He only made her feel safe. Even watching him from far brought her peace. She felt at peace watching him sitting next to Gillian laughing and joking.

KellY Anne had good long range hearing. Living in the country side had taught her to focus. She could despite the noise hear the murmer of the guys sitting at the bar “Should we ask Kelly Anne to dance? She is ordered to show us a good time by alpha. She cant refuse..”

“No. Lucas is watching. He said she is off limits because she is a protector. Obviously he has a use for her at work. Apparently she is smart....”

“Yeah, Lucas told me she is new. We should cut her a break”

“Yeah man. Lucas said to me, he wants to promote her to diplomatic relations because of her scores. he said he doesnt want to be one talent short when the time comes.”

“I agree man. He may send us to detention centre if she gets hurt. He said no one is smart like her in her class. This year’s graduates are mostly fighters.”

Kelly Anne was surprised to hear compliments. Lucas never complimented her. He never talked to her. Since he was a beta and had authority he was one expected to address her. She didnt go looking for trouble approaching him. But he had said nice things about her. It was the first time she heard it. Lucas really was trying to watch over her. It was the job of alpha and beta to help others in the pack as well as rulling them. Lucas cared for her. Just like how she cared for him.

Luckily the guys didnt act. They didnt bother her and didnt try to chat her up. Lucas had put fear and caution in them. He was a beta for a reason.

As Kelly Anne was serving drinks, she froze at his voice “Excuse me please Ma’am, May I have some tonic water please. I need two glasses and a big bottle of tonic water if possible.”

Kelly Anne looked up. He was smiling at her. She couldnt move.

Lucas continued “Sorry. If there is no tonic water we just take any fizzy drink. We have had alot of drinks on the way here.”

Kelly Anne quickly started putting ice in the glasses and started pouring drinks in them. She put the glasses on the table “Enjoy your drinks.”

Lucas said “Thank you Maa’m. I think you should have a drink too. Its getting too hot here. Arent these gentleman allowing you to have a drink and have a break?” His stare at the guys at the bar made them look away and some even stood up from their seats showing their necks and looking down.

One guy muttered “We were about to outisde.”

The other one said ” We go so maam can have a break.”

Suddenly the guys around the bar where she was serving left and she was by herself now with lucas there. There were still many bars in with servers that people would go to.

Lucas turned to him “These guys have no manners. They should give a lady a break.” He then winked and walked away.

She smiled. She watched him walk to Gillian. he put the glasses of drinks on the table. She got jealous at times and beat girls up. But Kelly Anne was no threat to her. To her, Kelly Anne was just a protector that Lucas felt sorry for and Gillian had offered to even get Kelly Anne therapy. Gillian was heartless and conceited but it seemed like since Lucas had put a word around that he looked out for Kelly Anne because of her difficult past and being adopted in that city and being new, Gillian just looked at her as no threat. Well, she was no threat. Why would Lucas be with her when he could have the alpha’s sister and the power that came with her. Gavin and Gillian were big threats. Their district was becoming more powerful and even the neighboring district wanted to surrunder and join their pack because their alpha had no heirs. That district was invincible with its army who worked like aclock work. Lucas could have anything he wanted being with Gillian. Lucas could have abused his powers but he didnt. He didnt have to call her ma’am but he did so he made an example in front of other guys to be polite to a girl serving them.

Gillian was holidng Lucas’s hand as Kelly anne was watching. She whispered in his ear “Do you want to come watch a movie tonight at my place?”

Lucas smiled politely “That would be fun.” He recalled his promise to make her have fun. His alpha was going to kick his backside if his sister was upset. He could feel Gavin watching them.

Gillian smiled “Perfect. I choose the movie.” She then looked at the distance. her eyes caught Kelly Ann’s who was watching them. She frowned “You were talking to Kelly Anne back there. What did you say to her?”

Lucas spoke quickly “She looked tired so I wanted to help out and asked the guys to give her a break. She has a long night. She has to work till 5am tonight. Your brother made her take the long shift. She should be in bed. She is not a night kind of werewolf. I feel sorry for her. Do you want me not to talk to her. I wont if you feel I shouldn’t. I need to look out for every werewolf in the pack but I can assign her to someone else.”

Gillian rolled his eyes “Lucas. She is not worth my time to think about. I dont care. As long as she doesnt fancy you, I dont mind. Now, tell me about the prom arrangements. Thats more interpreting.”

Lucas sighed in relief. He just knew what to say to Gillian. He just did. He knew what to say to get her attention off Kelly Anne. Lucas siad with meaning behind his words “Kelly Anne doesnt like any men, Gillian you do know that.” That did it to remind Gillian why she didnt see Kelly Anne as a threat. So for now Kelly Anne was safe from suspicions from the Alpha’s sister who could destroy gillian witha flick of her wrist litrerally.

Gillian squeezed Lucas’s hand tightly making him wince in pain “I know that Lucas. Thats why she is alive right now for talking to you too long. tell me about the prom arrangements. What time are you coming. If you are late, like tonight I will be very angry Lucas.”

Lucas assured her “I wont dissapoint you. I am sorry for tonight.”

Gillian just wanted to hear his sorry words. thats all she wanted. That showed he cared for her feelings. She leaned close and kissed his cheek as she released the pressure on his hand “You are so sweet.”
