The Alpha's Nanny

CHAPTER 5: A Debt To Pay

AURORA

I was glad to know that I had today off and that Willow and her dad were spending time together.

I have already put the other day behind me and just treat him like I did with my last client's kid and just be polite and not lose it with him so that I can stay with Willow.

Several minutes after Willow and Zane left, I took a bus into town to pawn a few things to get some money I had to pay to certain people.

When I finished getting the money, I then met up with an asshole gang leader, Denton who found me a couple of years ago after I heard my brother owed them a bunch of money for a few debts he owed to them so I was put responsible for paying it to make sure he stayed alive. Then once I paid him off, my brother could be set free.

My brother is a few years older than me and is like my best friend, other than Jezebel of course.

Our parents were both killed in a car accident when I was ten and my brother was thirteen at the time. We then went to stay with our grandparents until they both passed from old age and all we had was each other. We all make mistakes but unfortunately, because my brother helped to take care of me, he wasn't able to go to college, so he got whatever job he could and eventually ran into this asshole.

Supposedly my brother owed the guy who used to be in charge of the gang but then Denton killed him and became the new leader.

So I start making my way towards this rundown looking strip bar and find him and a few of his men waiting for me at a booth while several girls are giving them lap dances.

I walk over and let out a breath before anything else.

"Denton?!" I say.

"There you are." He grins at me. "Come sit down."

"I really can't stay, I...." I began to protest but he stopped me and insisted I sit.

"I said sit." He says in a more demanding tone.

So I go and sit down next to him while I start to take out the envelope of the money.

"Thanks. But you should really stay and have a drink this time." He says as he starts pushing my hair to the side of my face, making me move my head away from him.

"I really need to go. There's your money. I'll meet you again next week with more." I tell him feeling disgusted and couldn't wait to go back to the house and give myself a scolding hot shower in the spot he touched me.

I quickly get up and make my way out the door until I finally get outside and take in a deep breath and try to stop myself from crying.

I quickly try and pull myself together before calling for an Uber to come get me and take me back to the house.

When I got back home, I noticed Zane's car was in the driveway and saw most of the lights were off so I was really quiet as I tiptoed inside the kitchen to grab a water before heading upstairs to bed.

While on my way up to my room, I get stopped by hearing Zane's voice coming from behind.

I turn and notice he's leaning against the wall that's next to the stairs.

"Coming back a little late, don't you think?" I hear him

"Excuse me?" I asked. "That's none of your business." I tell him.

"This is my house that you are staying in, mind you. I know nothing about you and feel I deserve to know if this is something you do all the time or not. I especially need to know how you know Denton." He asks with his arms crossed.

"That is none of your business. And as far as I'm concerned and I'm just going by with what you told me the other night in how I should stay out of your business. Well, I expect the same. I will however tell you that you don't have to worry about him. I promise that he doesn't know where I'm at and never will. Willow is still safe and always will be." I assure him.

He continues standing there with arms crossed across his chest and scowls at me.

"That better be the case. Denton is nothing like you think he is and if he ever came here because of you I swear you'll regret it." He threatens me before walking past me.

"Don't worry." I tell him again.

I understand where he's coming from and he's just looking out for Willow and the fact that he's right, he doesn't really know me neither. But still though, I really would never let Willow get hurt or anyone I care about and love.

Though one thought comes to mind before I close my eyes and fall asleep, how does HE know Denton?
