05. Connor

"Hey, Julian?"

Kiran knocked on her boss's office door. He was a man in his early thirties with shaggy blonde hair. He'd actually bought the place of of the original owner Hulio over two years ago. He wanted to change it to Julian's diner, however the original boss said no and told him to keep the name or move along.

Julian was a busy minded business owner, and had big plans to change the image of Hulio which was a friendly family diner in town to a much exclusive one that invited the high rollers.

"What is it, Stacey?"

After knowing her stalker was somehow eavesdropping on her, she was suspicious of him.

For, when she got her waitressing job, he made her wear the uniform and checked her out giving her immediate approval.

Julian cared about image and bringing in a lot of customers thanks to his pretty waitresses. But he was soon going to train them in other areas than just waitressing.

"Can I go home?"

"Stacey..."

"It's Kiran actually."

"What's wrong you look fine to me?"

Of course, she was fine. What she wasn't fine about was the fact she received a very, disturbing, highly private video about herself, from her infamous stalker.

"Yeah, but I've got a really bad stomach ache and I coughs I think I'm coming down with something." She sat down by his chair clutching her head and faking coughing a best as she could.

Julian sighed and cringed at the same time. He was a clean freak and liked his staff being healthy.

"Eww. Ok, have a couple of days off to recover, but I'm not paying you for sick leave Stacey." He dettol sprayed by his desk, to keep her disguting germs from attacking him. Infact he quickly pulled out his surgical mask and wore it.

"Thanks, boss, It's Kiran actually..."

"I don't care, now get out." He snapped reading some paper work.

Relieved that he let her go, Kiran quickly headed back to her locker room and excited the Diner through a back exit door in the kitchen.

"Kiran where you going?" asked one of the guys.

There were four guys as chefs and one girl as the main head chef, whom Julian had a big fat crush on.

Her name was Stacey.

He referred to all his waitresses as Stacey just to tease her.

The real Stacey ignored.

"Home Connor," she said quickly puzzling the rest of the cooking team.

Connor then caught up to her making Stacey shout at him for leaving his station. He was in charge for frying the fries.

"I'll be right back!"

He then caught up to Kiran and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Kiran yelped out of fright as she turned around, slapping the person's hand away.

"Relax, it's just me?"

"Connor?"

"Are you ok?"

"No!" She stressed as her eyes brimmed with tears.

Thanks to that very R-rated video she received on her phone, she was on edge. All the men she knew, apart from her boyfriend Nathan (who was out of town) were all suspicious to her.

"What's going on? Hey, you can talk to me you know, I'm not just a sous chef in there?"

"I'm sorry Connor, but I can't. Thanks for your concern but I have to go."

Connor sighed as he saw her running off to her car, in a haste. He watched Kiran then start her ride and exit the car parking lot.

There goes his secret crush.

The young chef in training then went to turn around then, but he stumbled back with a surprise.

"Holy!" He gasped out, as he saw two men in suits staring back at him.

"Hello, Connor." The one with the grey eyes asked, in his calm yet dark tone if voice.

"How do you know my name?" He could have sworn the parking lot was empty when he chased after his friend.

"I heard it."

Connor used to be a jock on the swim team. He was going to get a scholarship and try out for the men's International swim team, however, due to a bad road accident caused by his drunken friends after a frat party, he injured his shoulder. Shattering his swimming dreams.

"Ok, well I need to get back to work." He said walking past both of them, giving them a weird look.

However, a hard shove came on his chest, pushing him back. Connor shot his angry eyes at the green-eyed man.

"What's your problem dude!"

Angered by his snickering, Connor fisted fist fast and went to sucker punch the guy in the dark blue suit.

The beta wolf easily dodged out of his way then tripped him up.

"Oh, this kid's got fire, Henry." Green eyes said making Henry look back at him with a dark stoic expression.

"You got the hots for Kiran, Connor?" Henry asked as Connor cautiously stood up.

"Who the f^ck are you guys?" Connor asked facing now frightened of them.

They looked intimidating, well built, and much taller than his 6ft0 height.

More over they were stronger than him.

"How do you know Kiran?" Grey eyes asked, then suddenly in a flash move, Henry sucker punched Connor on his jaw.

Connor spit out blood from the corner of his mouth and he grew angry looking back at Henry.

Who hadn't used his real strength since he was a human.

Henry on the other hand saw how he chased Kiran. There was something in the kid's eyes for her which pissed him off.

Lust and desire?

Connor was just about to attack Henry aggressively, but Hana came out of nowhere and pulled him crazily behind her.

[H] Don't hurt him, he's just an innocent lamb!

"Connor, chef Stacey is looking for you. Come along now!"

[M] Keep him away from Kiran, Hana.

[H] Yes, Beta Mark.

Hana said dragging Connor firmly back to the kitchen.

"You know he'll make a fine recruit to our pack?"

"We'll see about that," Henry said walking over to his car.

He now held a smirk on his face after causing his little mate to do something naughty and erotic much to his delight.

He soon went home and was just about to jump in the shower when he got a call from his beloved mate.

Setting his phone on a robotic voice-over, to mask his own, he smirked answering the call.

"Hello, candy."
