"We need help running the bar tonight." Nick sighed over the phone. "Again really?! It's the hottest club in the city and you can't find any new hires?!" I tried to keep my voice low. Korra was cuddled in the passenger seat with a new stuffed loin from the mall. She drifted off during the ride home. "I did but it's gonna be busy they can't handle the rush." "Your fucking kidding me. I'm supposed to be at home with my pet, you know that right?!" "I know I'm sorry." I don't want her to think I'm avoiding spending time with her, so I can't be out two nights in a row. Shit. Calling Rachel is also out of the question then. If I bring her to the club that might be overwhelming, seeing as she's not a people person. But I don't have another option. "I'm gonna drop off some things at home then I'm coming over there. This is coming out of your pay." I hung up the phone angry and sped home. I brought the bags inside but left some nuts in the car for when my girl wakes up. Hopping back in the car I started to head for the club. "Mommy are we home yet?" Korra yawned out. "No honey I'm sorry we aren't going home just yet. Something at my work just popped up that I need to take care of. You have to come with me." "Oh okay." As I glanced at her she looked disappointed. "I know I said we could cuddle and relax after shopping. We still can, just after this." My voice was soft. I pulled into the clubs parking lot. "I'm sorry about all this. I gonna make it up to you okay?" She gave me a breath taking smile and nodded. "Such a big girl for me aren't you?" She stole a well earned kiss. "Yes mommy." I felt myself get excited with her behavior. No focus. "This is a grown up club. So the music will be loud and people will be drunk. If you feel your self getting overwhelmed tell me immediately. Don't let anyone touch you. Understood?" She nodded. "Good." I held her had firmly as we walked in. I felt her squeezed me back. I brought the both of us behind the bar and sat her on a stool. -Stay.- I signaled down Nick who seemed to be graying by the second. "Thank god you are here." "What do we need?" "Everything is covered but the bar." "Got it." We hustled back and started working at lightning pace. I put the newbies in the kitchen and cleaning tables so they won't get in the way. "You are sooooooo pretty! All that curly hair!!! But aren't you a little young too be behind the bar?!" A clearly drunk dog yelled over the music to my pet. She looked down and didn't say a word. "I'm not trying to scare you!!! Want a hug pretty girl?!" He stumbled over himself and his words trying to climb over the bar and to her. I stopped him in a split second. "Don't you dare say or make another move toward her, or I swear to your goddess it will be your last. She mine back off." "Fucking fagot bitch!!!" He moved to hit me and I snapped his arm and dragged him by his hair out of my club through the back door. I threw him to the ground and he growled in pain. "Don't come back." I slammed the door and went to check on Korra. She was looking down playing with her hands. I picked her up out of her seat and took her to my office. Setting her down in my lap I said, "Did he scare you?" "A little." "He's gone now okay? I'm here." She nodded and pressed herself into me. I hugged her tight trying to make her feel as safe as possible. "I can go back out." She said after a minute. Not wanting to push her on the subject I nodded. "You can sit at the bar and eat, does that sound good?" She smiled wide and nodded. We walked back out and I got her settled with a nice steak. The crowd was finally slowing down so I pulled out my phone. I have to get my puppy a collar...

*Clearly not Korra but the right collar.* That's perfect. She can wear it anywhere without causing to much attention. I got my initials engraved on the side and placed the order. I felt a tap on my side. I turned to see Korra's plate cleaned as she stood up. She must have been really hungry. "Can I go outside?" "Why?" "I need to pee." I stood up and held her hand. "Sure let's go." "No! You can't come!!!" "Why not?" She blushed at my question. "I don't want you to see me pee!" "It's not that big of a deal. I've seen plenty of wolfs mark trees. Plus I'm just going with you for protection, not to see you pee." She sat back down. I quickly peeked into her mind not knowing what was wrong. I don't want her to see me pee, that's so embarrassing... I like her to much ugh. I smiled to myself. "Go ahead puppy but be back in five minutes or I will come looking for you. Don't wonder off." She kissed my cheek and ran out of the club like lightning. She likes me... ---------
