Chapter 1: Under New Management
My landlord's health is declining and he's getting older and can't take care of the bar downstairs anymore and I'm caught between getting out before the new owner takes over or waiting it out and begging to stay here, I've been in this apartment for 6 years and I don't want to lose it, Edgar reassured me he would do everything he can to make sure i don't have to go anywhere but I don't know if i trust that, i have a child to think about, à child who is a lycan and it's been hard for me to deal with her emotional outbursts and running away in the middle of the night and shifting during every moon cycle, it's getting to me so bad because I don't know what to do. I work four blocks away at a titty bar called " Deadly Nightshade " it's run by a werewolf named Wulfric, I'm not a dancer but the Dj and i help clean up and sometimes have fun with the girls up on stage when we close down, working here gives me an excuse to wear slutty little outfits while jamming out and receiving a little show, i like woman too and sometimes some men pay us to makeout and I'll do anything for some extra cash I have a child at home with an insatiable hunger. Her grandmother my deceased husband's mom takes care of her at night but sometimes she escapes her clutches too it's so hard not knowing what to do, she can usually handle her as she's one of them but the discipline needs to come from an alpha, and we are both women and we are not alpha's, without Caden this is killing us, I just want to help my daughter. I want to help and I don't know how I'm not one of them and Miranda doesn't know what she's doing because she always had an alpha take care of the kids, it's insane she does more than me but fuck it's hard to have a lycan daughter and not know how to help her.
I was sipping my coffee looking out of the window waiting for my landlord to arrive today was the day we get to meet the new owner Ronan " Axel " Direbane, the most powerful wolf in the entire city, he's like royalty to everyone around here, he runs the wolf rings, every business, the man has got money, I never even seen his face but know exactly who he is, i had taken my daughter to school and hoped to the gods she doesn't start anything, she's been known to lash out at teachers, get in fights and just do the absolute most she's the sweetest thing and doesn't do anything to anyone unless provoked and I know it's the lycans rage and i feel like I'm dealing with another mini Calden, spitting image of her father it's ridiculous. I came downstairs, to wait on edgar and when he came in, he said good morning and gave me a hug.
Edgar: How are you this morning ?
Serena: I'm good. Didn't sleep much ? You ?
Edgar: Same, honestly. Arthritis is killing me.
Serena: What did the doctor say ?
Edgar: I gotta excerise , take some anti inflammatory drugs, lose weight. It's a forever disease but there are ways to get rid of the pain. I'll be alright.
Serena: I hope you get some relief soon, i know how much it hurts, you do need some sleep though.
Edgar: I'll get some after today I'm a little stressed. I don't want to have to ask you to leave and it breaks my heart having to sell this place. Didn't make me much money but I'm grateful for it.
Serena: It's an incredible spot, i like it. I spent slot of money with you and for the rent I'm not complaining though. So, why Ronan ?
Edgar: You've been a great customer and tenant I'm grateful for you. Ronan, was the first to reach out he wants to turn this into a wolf bar. I'm hoping he says yes and let's you stay if not i have a place for you.
Serena: Wait you do ?
Edgar: Yes. My son owns it and he will give you a good price just like me. He's been looking for someone new to come stay there so if all else fails don't worry i got you. It's right where i live 6 blocks over. A little far from work but it's better than nothing.
Serena: Thank you so much. I appreciate everything you've done for me. You've gone above and beyond. It doesn't matter if it's far I'll take a taxi or the train and get to my destination it's fine. As long as there's a roof over me and my daughter's head that's all that matters.
Edgar: Amen to that. I'm glad to help.
A big black truck with tinted windows pulled up and parked in front of the bar, edgar decided to leave the door open and he came outside and this 6'5, man came out with black jeans on, a wallet chain on his belt, a leather jacket and a black low cut satin dress shirt showing off his hairy chest hair, had a wolf emblem as a necklace, Rolex watch, and this gorgeous wavy brown long hair, a roman shaped nose and big juicy lips, i was mesmerized by him, like I couldn't believe what i was looking at, his eyes were hazel with a gray tint, he works out for sure, worked out a lot he was beefy, quite stacked and you could see the well built curves underneath his clothing, kind of made my pussy throb, something about a wolf man sure gets me wet....
Edgar: I have a favor to ask you.
Ronan: Everything ready to go ?
Edgar: Yes, of course.
Ronan: What's your favor ?
Edgar: As you know the building has an apartment upstairs and I've been renting it to a mother and her 6 year old daughter, i just wanted to ask if you aren't going to use it if you can help them out by still renting it out to them.
Ronan: And the bar has its own storage unit correct ?
Edgar: Yes.
Ronan: Okay. I don't see why not. How much did you charge her ?
Edgar: $400 a month.
Ronan: I don't need $400, i can do $250 for the month. Let her have some pocket change.
Edgar: That's honestly great. Thank you. She's an amazing tenant and will come down to help you anytime she works at the deadly nightshade.
Ronan: She's a stripper ?
Edgar: Oh, god no. She's the dj.
Ronan: Oh!
Edgar: Yeah. * both chuckle *
Ronan: No judgment i was just wondering.
Edgar: She's inside if you want to meet her.
Ronan: Perfect. Let's go in than.
I pretended like i wasn't staring at him the entire time he was talking to edgar and Miranda came downstairs and poured herself a glass of whiskey and handed me one.
Miranda: What's Ronan doing here ?
Serena: You know him ?
Miranda: Yes, he's my pack leader.
Serena: He's the new owner.
Miranda: Oh! Of course he is. He's very attractive.
Serena: Yeah, he is.
Miranda: I saw you!
Serena: Okay. Don't say nothing.
Miranda: I won't but I'll know.
Serena: * chuckles * I'm definitely not his type.
Miranda: You never know.
Serena: À man like that ?
Miranda: My son was a man like that and he loved you.
Serena: Yeah, but not everyone is calden Miranda.
Miranda: I don't know I've heard things.
Serena: What kind of things ?
Miranda: He doesn't have a type. He goes for personality. He likes pretty girls and you're pretty.
Serena: I doubt he would even notice me. He's been single for what almost 40 years ?
Miranda: Oh yeah i forgot about that but hey life is strange you never know. He's one of a kind that's for sure.
Serena: Certainly, seems like it.
Edgar: Well, hello Miranda!
Miranda: Edgar, hello. Good morning.
Edgar: Morning. Helping yourself I see.
Miranda: Always i need it.
Ronan: What are you doing here ?!
Miranda: I was here all night.
Edgar: You know each other ?
Ronan: I'm her pack leader.
Edgar: Oh, wow. Ronan, this is Serena. My tenant.
Serena: Hi, it's nice to meet you.
Ronan: Nice to meet you. I'm Ronan.
He looked at me so strangely and the phone started ringing upstairs and Miranda said she was gonna check on it ronan was so confused as to why she was doing all of this.
Ronan: How do you know Miranda ?
Serena: She's my late husband's mom. My child's grandmother.
Ronan: Oh, you're the Serena.
Serena: You know about me ?
Ronan: Yeah, i know who you are.
Edgar: Small world isn't it?
Ronan: Yeah, apparently. So, Edgar asked me to let you continue living upstairs and I'm not gonna say no so I don't need you to pay me $400 a month I make enough but I'll lower it to $250, how does that sound ?
Serena: That sounds really awesome actually. Thank you. I don't even know what to say.
Ronan: Well, you already thanked me and that's just fine with me. * winks at her *
Edgar: I'm so glad that we could work something out.
Ronan: It's my pleasure you could've told me sooner.
Miranda: * hangs up the phone * God damn it!
Serena: Miranda ?! What happened ?
Miranda: Violet's school called....
Serena: Oh,god...what happened now ?
Miranda: She bite someone!
Serena: What?!?!
Miranda: We gotta pull her out of there...this is getting to be every other week.
Ronan: What's going on ?
Miranda: Violet, my granddaughter. She's been acting out. We don't know how to deal with it.
Ronan: She showing symptoms ?
Serena: Yeah, she's very hormonal, lots of mood swings and rage and just disappearing and running away she control her shift we don't have an alpha to help us with her.
Ronan: You're looking at one. You should pull her out of public school and that kid she bit make sure he sees one of our doctors, she could've turned him into one of us and that's not gonna go well with most human they can't handle such information. I'll help you with violet. She needs to go to school with the children from our packs.
Serena: Okay, i can definitely do that.
Ronan: I'll take you to the school just give me a little bit.
Miranda: I'll meet you guys there!
Serena: Okay, thank you so much.
Ronan: It's no problem. Little trouble maker huh ?
Serena: Just like her father.
Ronan: Yeah, so I've heard. Still à good man though.
Serena: He was.
Edgar: Well, i gotta go here is all the papers, permits and the keys to everything, I have a doctors appointment to get to and I can't miss it this time. Thank you so much for helping Serena and taking this off my hands.
Ronan: It's no problem at all,thank you. I got them don't worry, she's in good hands.
Edgar: Have à great day.
Serena: Get there safe, you here ?!
Edgar: Yes, ma'am!
Serena: Alright. Bye.
Edgar waved and she smiled . I caught him looking at my ass through the mirror in the back and he turned around and smirked and i looked back kind of offended he would even do something like that but let's be real here i liked he was looking and as he looked over at me after looking at the papers he looked at my tits that were popping out of my shirt and right back at my face and i sort tried to hide my smile and he walked off to check the rest of the bar and i sat down on the stool and finished off my drink and some of his pack mates started to come inside and he yelled for them and they asked where he was and i pointed to the back, they all look at me up and down and even complimented me, his father came to check the place out as well, he smiled over at me and i smiled back.
Boris: Who are you if i may ask ?
Serena: I'm Serena. I live upstairs. Ronan, let me stay. It's nice to meet you.
Boris: Oh, okay. Miranda's daughter in law.
Serena: Yeah, that's me.
Boris: I'm Boris, Ronan's father. The pleasures all mine. You are very beautiful you know that ?
Serena: * blushes * Thank you, most days I don't see it.
Boris: You should, you got my old ass over here hyperventilating. * both chuckle * Trust me you are truly stunning.
Serena: I appreciate you so much. Thank you.
Boris: You're very welcome.
Ronan: Dad, what are you doing ?
Boris: Saying hello to this beauty .
Ronan: You too old to be flirting.
Boris: Nonsense, never too old for a mate.
Ronan: I beg to differ, you ready to go.
Serena: Yes.
Boris: Where you going ?
Ronan: Taking her to get her daughter.
Boris: Oh, okay. Call me if you need anything.
Ronan: I will.
I grabbed my purse and waved goodbye at him and he raised both his eyebrows at me and waved back, what a horny old man but i liked the attention. Ronan, opened the passenger door for me and waited for me to climb inside to close it and when he got in he basically sped a little, he had industrial music playing which i didn't expect that of him, but I recognized it for our Edm nights the band was called alien vampires, which is funny à werewolf would like that, because you know the whole hate and love relationships with vampires. I was jamming the shop wau and he couldn't stop staring at me and looking at my tits, so my slutty self fixed my tits in my bra and he almost missed a red light looking at me, he started giggling to himself and i was so confused that i tried not to look at him and crack up myself, there was a lot of traffic this morning, he told me to let him know when they started moving he reached into his back seat and grabbed a beer can from his cooler and cracked one open, he took a drink and offered me one and i kindly declined one drink of whiskey was enough for me. Honestly, this whole thing was awkward and we both didn't know how to act, there wasn't much said either it was beginning to bother me because why am i in this strangers car ? We got to the school and he turned down the radio, and we both stepped out and watched my tits jiggle as i jumped down from the truck and grabbed my purse from the seat he closed the door before i could notice he was looking for the 100th time.
Miranda: Finally, they need to speak to you.
Serena: I'll be right there.
Ronan: I'm sorry, if I'm late. Traffic was bad
Miranda: You're fine. They're just holding violet in the office.
I walked into the office and they told me they were waiting on me, they even called the police this was a fucking mess. Miranda and Ronan waited outside patiently. Ronan, was asking her questions about why there was cops involved and she broke it all down for her.
Violet: Mommy! * runs to serena*
Serena: Hi, baby. What's all this ?!
Principle: I'm sorry but the parents of the child called the police. I had nothing to do with it. I've kept her here in the office apart from them.
Officer: The parents want to press charges on the kid. Since she's a lycan, this looks really bad, the child was bitten. You should know why this is concerning and why we are involved.
Serena: You're treating her like a criminal ? She is 6 years old! She's 6! Jesus fucking Christ!
Officer: Ma'am it doesn't matter she's had a history of violent outbursts and we need to figure out a way to stop her from acting like an animal.
Serena: What the fuck did you just say ? Acting like an animal ? How about you shut the fuck up and leave this room before i forget that you're even a cop ? Leave!
Principle: Okay! Okay! We don't need to speak to each other this way. She's not going anywhere please officers wait outside.
Officer: You better keep that tone down I'll take you and her to jail. I don't care, do not speak to me that way.
Serena: You're not call my daughter an animal, pig!
Principle: Just get out please. Let me handle this.
Serena: Who the fuck do they think they are?! Animal! I'll show you assholes an animal, Real fucking quick!
Miranda and Ronan couldn't believe their ears snd when the cops came to join them outside they looked at them up and down and Miranda stood up and started arguing with them. Ronan, had to ask her to stop!
Miranda: So, we are animals huh ?! Say that to my face.
Ronan: Miranda!
Miranda: How dare you speak that way to a child ?
Officer 2: I didn't say anything. It was this guy.
Miranda: ACAB! ACAB! All of you are the same!
Ronan: MIRANDA! Calm down now!
Miranda: I'm sorry but they've pissed me off.
Ronan: Trust me i will handle this. Leave it to me.
Officer 1: Who are you ?
Ronan: Ronan Direbane.
Officer: The Axel ? The one who rules over all the lycans in this city ? It's you ?
Ronan: Yeah, that's me. What's the problem with violet ? Tell me everything and I'll take care of it.
They spoke outside and he had Miranda sit down and calm down she was still looking at them with hatred in her eyes.
Principle: I'm sorry about the cops Serena. I tried to convince them not to do it but the boy was bitten.
Serena: I know I understand they're upset, i get that but she's not an animal, she's a child she cannot help the way she is. I just wish they waited and spoken to me. How's the kid doing ?
Principle: He's doing good, it was a nasty bite but it isn't the first time they've had problems and I let them know that he's the instigator, there are cameras and the cops did watch it and agreed with me that this was his fault for provoking her but the parents still wanted to sue due to the severity of the situation. He pulled her hair in class and she pounced on him i never seen anything like it she scared everybody.
Serena: I think what's best for violet is too pull her out of public school most lycan children flourish in the public school system but violet is different she doesn't have a male role model to help her through this and i found someone who's gonna help her and get her to an all lycan school i feel like that's what's best right now as I'm sure she's suspended.
Principle: She is not suspended but the boy is, that was his last strike and they seen it as unfair as she drew first blood whatever the fuck that means, let me show you the video.
I sat there with my daughter clinging to my arm and watched the entire video it was absolutely disgusting the boy was straight up bullying her and i seen her eyes change colors and knew she was trying her best to stay calm in this situation and he had to switch seats with his friend and pull her hair so hard her neck almost gave in, i was so angry watching the entire thing and the principle paused it after she attacked the boy and bit him and three him against the wall the teacher had to pull her aside while she screamed in terror and the next door teacher came running inside and just pulled her out of the room while they checked on the bully. He knew better, he knew.
Principle: It's hard to watch i know. I'm so sorry this happened. She's been okay for two weeks, I know she's tried her hardest but i don't know what more we can do for her.
Serena: It's fine we tried that's all that matters but I have someone who will help her with this. I'd like to speak to the boys parents, have they watched this ?
Principle: Not yet but I plan to show it to them. Let me go get them.
Serena: Only the parents I don't want any more problems with the kids.
Principle: Good idea. I'll be back.
She brought the parents over to me and left her son sitting out back. They looked so pissed and stuck up. I spoke to them, let them know i was sorry and explained to them the situation, hoping to god they would not go through with the charges, i mean she's 6 it's not like I'm raising a monster here, they were very hesitant and told me how they felt and they were still convinced i was a bad mother but i reassured them i was taking her out of school so she could be with her kind and keep herself under control which is out of our hands, the schools and th police, the dad was ready to just drop it and move on but the mom spoke to him in private to figure things out and let me know as long as they apologize and i don't press chargers either they wouldn't go through with it, the police spoke to them privately as well and introduced them to Ronan, who had paid the police to back off but they didn't tell them that and the parents said that's fine that they weren't going through with it and they all left, they found it weird they would willingly tell them they can't do anything anymore when they were so determined, we brought the kids out and my violet is the sweetest person ever and the boy was very scared of her and she apologized first and gave him a big hug and she took her saliva and put it on his wound and it started closing up, lycan saliva is a healing ointment for minor cuts and scrapes and i guess bites. They were confused and I'm surprised that she has that ability makes me wonder what's she's not telling me.
Violet: I asked them to let me see them to heal him and they wouldn't let me...
Serena: It's okay baby, they didn't know.
Violet: He should be okay now. I'm sorry.
Serena: Hey, it's okay. It's okay baby.
The parents thanked me and Serena and Ronan made sure there was no signs of lycanthropy but he gave them his business card if anything begins to happen as sometimes the symptoms can be dormant and pop up at random moments without warning at all, violet ran to Miranda's arms and i finished getting her papers and getting her out of that school once and for all. Ronan, looked at me the entire time and i put everything away in her folder so i didn't lose anything, violet was sucking on her thumb looking up at him and he pinched her cheeks and she got shy around him and hid her face, Miranda started laughing.
Miranda: She's a little shy.
Ronan: That's okay. I'm sure we will be good friends.
Violet was snickering and trying her best not to smile and look at him and she's just like her momma cute boys make her blush Miranda grabbed her stuff and took her to the car and i thanked Ronan for everything bringing me here and helping me out, i am so appreciative.
Ronan: No worries at all, I'll make sure she's taken cared of. Let me finish whatever i gotta finish with the bar and i'll take you to my community and get her started, I'm all over the place with different things i gotta do.
Serena: Take all the time you need, we can wait however long. You know where to find me when you're ready.
Ronan: Oh, absolutely.
Miranda: You almost ready ?
Serena: Yeah.
Miranda: I gotta stop at the store.
Serena: Alright, I'm coming. If there's anything i can do to thank you let me know....
Ronan: Yeah ? I'll definitely let you know.
Serena: Cool, bye.
Ronan: Bye.
I was honestly hoping he'd want to fuck me but that wouldn't be likely, he stared at my ass as i walked to the car and lifted his eyebrows and licking his lips before getting in his truck and watching us drive away. I've been worried sick for months not knowing if we would have a place to stay or even how to deal with violet's lycanthropy and I'm just glad everything is finally falling into place so i don't gotta worry know more now i just have to get Ronan, out of my head.
