Congratulations Leila, you have the job. That was the statement that got her out of her reverie. She had struggled to concentrate since she got inside. The boss Ryan had looked so handsome that she had had a rough time concentrating on what the interviewees had asked. How she had managed to even talk to them she did not know. But from the moment she had entered that office, she had been awfully aware of Ryan. The way her nipples had tightened at his mere sight, a bolt of desire rushing through her leaving her breathless.
What the hell was wrong with her, it was just a man, or maybe not. He was not human; she could feel him through his body scent. He was like her; she had seen when his eyes had thinned onto tiny golden slits when she got in the office. Looking at her so thoroughly that she had felt empty and naked. She had to get out of that place and quick. She could not possibly come and work there now. The man had a dangerous aura about him, yet she had been so attracted to him that even now she could still feel desire building within her. This was way too strange, and his scent, goodness! He had to have been the best smelling man in her entire life. There was no artificial scents masking him, rather it was a fresh musky all male scent that made her knees go weak. Standing up clumsily, she thanked the interviewers and rose to move, stumbling on her way out. That had to have been the most embarrassing moment of her life.
Moving out the office, she hailed a cab, even though she knew that walking to her place wouldn't really tire her out. She was confused, she had searched throughout her teen life for anyone like her but there had been none. That was what had made her move through job opportunities so fast someone would be scared. Everything just happened to move fast such that she found herself doing something she should not have done. The first time, she had gotten into a fight, and ended up knocking a man's teeth out.
The second job she got was in a café, her work was to serve the people as a waitress. She lost this one because of her extremely sensitive nose. It happened that there had been somethings that had gone bad in the hotel and smelt really bad. One sniff and she had come back after a snorting, ending up with a messy nose afterwards. Now she just took care to use her wolf abilities as little as best. She knew what people often said about her behind her back and honestly, it was better she did not know.
The traffic home was pretty light and as they moved along the streets of New York, she could not help but shiver. Would she really be able to survive here and what did the presence of another wolf signify for her? Should she even go for that job or just let it. What if that man had answers that could help sate her curiosity? Because she really did feel lost for a pretty long period of time.
At least she knew she was not the only abnormal person on earth, even though it had taken her nearly four years to know that. She got to her place, not so well off and not so badly off, the peeling paint from the rooms looking as awful as the whole exterior. The inside was a different story. Those had to have been one of the cleanest houses she had ever seen. They were in good condition.
Climbing up the stairs, she got to her room, opened the door and leaned on it while taking deep breaths. She should hook up with Ryan if anything else and maybe he could shade a light on her origins. Looking at her loving parents and knowing that as great as they were they were not her own parents had hurt too much. At first, she had been weird with her newly acquired skills and her mom had noticed a few discrepancies. And then one day, while she had been unaware, she had seen her change. At that moment, her mom screamed and fainted right on the floor.
