The Sad Hybrid {{Melon x Reader}}

Chapter 3

After my performance I was exhausted. I went backstage and changed into my clothes and watched as Cosmo went up stage, I wiped off my make up and put my coat on and headed out.

The moment I opened the door I saw a pack of lions surround the door and look me up and down.

"I'm sorry, I'm heading somewhere, but there are still a plenty of girls still on shift." I inform.

One of the lions hovered over to and said, "We're waiting for our boss." In a rather annoyed tone. His eyes were sharp, very feline-like, a scar over his left eye.

I nodded and walked past the lion and made my way through the pack when I heard a voice, "We're done for now. Let's head back." I stopped and slowly turned my head. The voice was so familiar and so was the face.

"L-" I stopped myself and started speed running my way out but one all of a sudden a large pair of hands grabbed onto the back of my coat and pulled me back.

"What do you want!" I yelled trying to break free. I starting sinking my claws deep into the lion's hand and successfully got free.

"Y/n!" Louis called out. I turned back and saw him question why I was here. I looked at him and gave him the same look.

"What are you doing here!" I shouted out before he could say anything. Louis took a deep breath and gestured the lions go leave us alone. They did.

We were left alone in the black market, right next to my strippers club bar. Louis cleared his throat and calmly said, "I have some things to do around here. And what about you?" I let out a laugh and continued laughing for a while until I got a hold of myself and straightened my back.

"I also had some businesses to take care of here." I calmly said, wiping away my tears. He looked at me, then he turned back and took a look at the strippers' club behind him.

"Look Louis, this is a secret okay?" I said. "And what are you doing with the Shishigumi?! In the black market?!" I exclaim.

"That's not important..." he said. We stayed awkward for a while before I said, "Look, I have to go somewhere. Just, forget this ever happened. I'll forget that you're the boss of a pack of lions, and you forget that you ever met me... here." I awkwardly say as I point at the building behind him.

He didn't say anything. I looked down and let out a sigh of annoyance. "Look Louis... I know what you're thinking, and I'm sure you know what I'm thinking. But please forget about this." I say calmly as I start walking closer to him. I place a hand on his suit and say, "But you shouldn't be here. It's dangerous."

He nods and says, "Out of all people, I expected this the least from you." I let a smirk crawl onto my face and I said, "You got something to say?" in a playful tone. We started laughing for a little while and I said, "I really should get going."

I waved him a goodbye and he did the same and we went out separate ways. Now I had something else to worry about.

My mind kept thinking about how and why Louis could possibly end up being the leader of a pack of untamable lions. I kept walking and checked my phone to see what time it was. It was already 8:15 pm.

I started speed walking, I had an appointment at 8:45 pm at the well known party for high classes... elites. I worked there as one of the "entertainers" for anyone.

When I got out of the black market I jumped into a taki that was parked on the side of the main street.

*time skip*

I payed the taxi driver and headed towards the Champion Cafe.

I entered the door and was greeted by a big Rhino. "One red pumpkin latte." I say. The Rhino nodded and let me enhance downstairs. Then I'm greeted by a Grizzly Bear. He checks my alcohol levels and sniffs me to confirm me as a member. I left my bag an coat behind and kept going.

Then after all that, I open the doors to the real deal, The Night Mask Party. I headed staright to the changing room and put on one of the dressed, which today happened to be a black leather tight dress. Tight clothes... were uncomfortable, but I didn't mind them.

I put on a deer mask and headed out the fitting room and into the dance floor. Carnivores who wore herbivore masks had to get drunk to restrain their predatory instincts.

My "client" wasn't here yet so I decided to sit down for a bit. I got a seat next to a big male and started drinking up.

"We have matching masks" I say to the make sitting next to me. He turns his attention to me and says, "We do, what a coincidence." I slowly start moving closer to him and place a hand on his thigh.

"What you up to tonight? You seem new." I say in a flirtatious and husky tone. "I ugh... no, I'm not new here." He says rubbing the back of his neck.

I backed up a little and chuckle a bit. "Don't worry. Just relax." I started moving closer to him again and took a small sniff of him and immediately stop.
