CHAPTER ONE (1)
"Aunt, I'm done doing the dishes, can I go to work now?" I asked my aunt
"Have you finish doing the laundry?" she said
"yes ma'am. So can I go please?" I asked her
"Yes you can, and come back early so you can get a good night rest, you know you have a lot of work to do tomorrow morning." she said acting like she cares
"I've heard you aunt" I said and picked up my bag
Want a little introduction about me?
My name is Issabella Andrew, I'm twenty two.
Live with my aunt and her daughter who are really mean to me. They make me do all the work in the house and it annoys me because I barely have time for myself.
I actually behave like a boy because of the nature of my work, in order not to be harassed by men.
I actually work in a strip club but as a bartender, so I see all kind of men there.
The rich, the poor, the womanizers, the gullible ones and so on.
My aunt doesn't seem to care or take care of me and sometimes I wonder if I'm really her sister's daughter.
Although my parents are late, it still doesn't give her the right to treat me badly.
I'm not working because I want to but because she forced me to.
"We are her ma'am" the cab driver told me and I got out of the cab.
God please help me in here today.
Everyone here is crazy, I'm tired of this job but I can't quit.
I walked into the club and it was noisy as hell. That's how a club is supposed to be right?
"Isa!" I heard my name and I turned back to see who was calling me and it was my friend, you can actually call her my best friend. Her name is Anabella but I call her Anabel
"Hey Anabel, what's up?" I asked stretching out my hands for a handshake
"Isa, will you stop behaving like a boy for crying out loud? And if I may ask, why are you just coming to work? I had to lie to our boss so that he won't scold you when you arrive" she said to me
"I'm sorry about that but you know how my aunt is, she made me do all the work before letting me out of the house and the worst part of it is that, her daughter wasn't even busy, she was just watching TV and painting her nails" I said almost crying
I'm actually sick and tired of this life. How long will I continue to suffer?
"It's alright Isa, let's just go to work" she said
I was walking with Anabel when someone dragged me by my arms
"Isa" he said biting his lower lip
I so much despise this guy
His name is Matthew and he is a regular customer here, he's always getting on my nerves
"Matthew what is it this time around?" I asked him with an eye roll
"C'mon baby girl, stop acting like a child, you know what I want" he said, this time licking his lips and I got irritated by him quickly
"I don't know what you want okay? Stop bothering me" I said and wanted to walk away when he pulled me back
"I'm not done talking. If you dare walk out on me again I'll make you loose your job" he said to me
"(scoffs) like I care" I said
"Please just say what you want to say and let me be, I have a lot of work to do" I said to him
"Okay I want you" he whispered softly into my ears
"You want me? Do I look like a toy or something?" I asked with an eye roll
"C'mon don't play dumb with me.. I need a lap dance from you, just this once please" he said without any shame
"Do I look like a stripper to you? Please let me be, there are lots of strippers her and you can actually get any you want" I said to him
"What if I told you I've had all of them?" he asked me
"Too bad for you. Excuse me" I said and walked away
This guy is really crazy
"Isa where have you been?" Anabel asked me
"Sorry but Matthew was delaying me" I said to her
Authoress Pov
Finn Duke the leader of the wolf pack was seen walking around the whole kingdom.
He needed to clear his mind, his mom kept bothering him about marriage, but to him, marriage seemed like a b*****e.
He isn't going to get married anytime soon obviously. She had made his life a living hell, telling him that he was a prince and soon to be king of the wolf pack and he needed a wife to stand by him always but that wasn't how he wanted to live his life. No, he wanted a free live just like humans who get to do whatever they want to and they don't put the needs of the pack first before theirs..
Now he stood by the close gate which separated his kingdom from that of human kingdom. Definitely he is going to go there some day. Getting married wasn't the problem, the problem was getting a wife who has a strong connection with him. Of course every lady wolf in the kingdom would want to be with him because he is the prince but he wanted someone who would understand him, someone who will make him know what love feels like. He had not fall in love before and he doesn't know how it felt, so he wanted someone who could show him the true meaning of love.
But his mother doesn't seem to understand this, all she cares was him getting married to any wolf at all. She is ready to accept any one as her daughter in-law. She doesn't care how she looks, if she's rich or poor, she just wants a bride for her son.
Most times he wish he was human.. He was actually like one, the whole pack were like humans and they loved transforming into humans rather than being a wolf.
Finn POV
"Prince Finn" I heard my name. I did not need someone to tell me who was calling me. I know that voice so well and besides my mom and the lady calling me right now are the only ones who call me by my name.
"Dawn, what do you want?" I asked her without even turning back to look at her.
Dawn is actually the girl my mom wants me to get married to. She lives with us in the palace but I don't really like her. She's arrogant, rude and wicked and she definitely has no respect. Her father was my late father's best friend so my mom wants the friendship to grow stronger even if the two men who were best friends were already dead.
"Oh someone knows me so well that he doesn't have to turn back to know I'm the talking" she said and chuckled
She came close to me and placed her hand around my shoulder
"You still haven't answered my question, what do you want? And how do you keep on finding me?" I asked her
I've told my personal guard Matthew to never let her know where I'm going to but someone she seems to find me wherever I go.
"You know what I want Finn. I want to spend time with my husband" she said and this time I was forced to look at her and she was smiling, revealing all her teeth.
"(scoffs) husband? Sorry did I just hear you say husband? Who's your husband? When did we get married?" I asked her.
She is too desperate. I haven't even told her I like her yet and she is already claiming to be my wife. What nonsense.
"Oh, sorry, my bad. I meant my husband to be" she said happily
"You wish" I said with an eye roll
"Uhm Dawn can yo leave please?"
"Why? Is it bad for me to spend quality time with you?" she asked
"You see, that's the problem. I didn't come here to spend time with anyone. I came her to receive some air and relax and you are kinda ruining it for me. So go" I said to her
"And what if I don't?" she asked me folding her hands
"Then I will. Guards let's go" I said to the guards and they trailed behind me
"Really?" she yelled
"I love you Finn, hope you know that" she yelled
"Whatever. Is love a must?" I said and walked away
