The Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 12

I walk out the rotating door beaming. I just put down a down payment on an apartment. I had some money stashed away, which was barely enough for a down payment. 

I got a job at a high-end restaurant, making good money and tips. 

I honestly am happy, except for one thing, Alpha. Basically anything will make me think of him and get me depressed. Since I do work at a more fancy restaurant I see a lot of couples. That is really what gets me. But, I need to stay away from the jerk. 

It has been ten months since I have seen or spoken to Alpha. Ten months since he forcefully marked and mated me. 

It has been nearly impossible to resist the bond and to constantly have my walls up, but I have managed and it gets easier by the day. 

I heard crying from the other room. 

"Mommy's coming baby, don't worry." 

I had my son a few weeks ago and it was a shock. I didn't know I was pregnant until about a month before. I had hoped for a girl, but I am still really happy with a boy. 

I was hoping to get to work early, but I don't know if that will happen. 

I still work at the restaurant but now as a manager. I am able to take my son with me and it is really nice especially since he is so young. They offered me mat leave and I took it at first but then I got bored. Our owner didn't like that and made me promise to not work a lot, like one or two days a week for only a few hours. 

I rushed in to Liam's room and I was shocked at what I found. 

Liam had spit up a lot. I wiped him off and changed him and by that time it was time to eat and go. 

I was barely on time to work, but I made it. As I walked in the hostesses fawned over him, making me smile. Everyone loves him. Even though I made some makeshift friendships here I do wish I had found a werewolf. It gets hard especially when I am in heat or need to let out my wolf. 

"Hey Noah, how is everything today?" I asked as I walked through the kitchen.

"Hello darling, everything is fine." 

Noah was our chef. He is in his 40's and treats me like my dad never did. 

He always lets me try his food and any new recipe he makes. 

"You out on the floor tonight?" 

I sometimes will still go out and waitress, because I miss it and I loved doing it. So, I will sometimes ask the hosts to watch over Liam until my shift is over.

"No, not tonight. I am with this munchkin all night." 

"What a shame you are just hogging him." He chuckled. 

I laughed with him. "Well, you know me Noah."

He walked off and I started working on our finances and all of the boring paperwork until it was time to go and check on people. I go out on the floor and check with all the tables about every hour. I was proud to say that there was rarely ever a problem, I had a great staff.

I return to my office to finish the paperwork after receiving no complaints. I finally finished it about a half an hour later, making me sigh in relief. 

One hostess was at the end of her shift and offered to watch Liam the rarest of the night for me and I gratefully accepted. She often watched him for me, so she already knew everything and knew where my home was and where the spare was hidden.
