Mary sighed as she placed the order on the table and hurried back into the kitchen, not wanting to spend any more time with people than she absolutely had to.
Despite the fact that the trials were over a majority of the wolves hadn't left town just yet, either wanting to see if they wanted to join the towns pack or for some other reason. Some were even possibly courting some of the wolves from town and that just made her want to throw up.
She also denied and pushed away any feelings of jealousy that she might've felt. She was a grown omega and by certain beliefs she should've been courted and mated by now, maybe even with child or already have had a child.
And maybe a part of her wanted that, maybe a part of her wanted to be courted and cherished by an alpha that would push her down, mate her, and….
Mary shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts before they went anywhere else with that.
The only thing she had going for her was her bloodline, she came from a pack leaders blood and that made her a desirable mate but her being in the trials, forcing them to accept her as a participant and even getting so far as to become the runner up well…
She had ruined her chances that any alpha would want to have her. No alpha wanted a dominating omega like her and her throwing her lot with trying to become pack leader.
She always knew that she wasn't desirable to an alpha, she just didn't want to believe in it so much and then have it become one hundred percent certain thing.
Times like this she hated being an omega, hated the hormones and everything else that was running through her.
Without even needing to look up, when the door opened and a pair of footsteps came in she immediately knew who had come in without the scent that followed him.
John took his regular seat at the counter, already telling someone else his order of what he wanted. He hadn't been in for a while, busy with learning the ins and outs of their pack and slowly moving into their town permanently.
Apparently he was keeping the old counsel for the time being until he was comfortable enough to start to bring his own in, that was a bit of relief to the older members of the pack whose families were still going to be close to the pack leader.
Mary bit on the inside of her cheek and turned to go back into the kitchen, tucking her notepad into her apron pocket. She went to the sink to start washing the dishes, trying to ignore everything else when the other waitress came up to her.
"Mary, bring this to tall and handsome at the counter." the other waitress said pressing a plate that had a slice of pie on it and a cup of coffee into her hands.
Mary tried to push it back. "I really don't want to." she said firmly.
"Well tough because he asked specifically for you." she shot back, pressing back and walking away, making Mary stumble to make sure that she didn't drop it.
Breathing out sharply she took a moment to compose herself before she turned and walked back out, going to the counter.
"Here's your order, enjoy." Mary said, placing the plates down in front of him and turning to leave.
She fought the urge to break his wrist when he reached out and gently grabbed her arm. "Can I talk to you?"
For a moment Mary prayed to the Moon for patience and slowly turned around to face him. "What?" she asked.
John just smiled at her, his thumb moving over her arm for a moment before he pulled away. "I want to take you out to dinner." he said.
Mary curled her fingers into her palm, trying to keep her composure. There were more than a few wolves in the diner and she had no doubt that they were all watching them, eager for more gossip and drama. "Why?"
"Because I want to get to know you, outside of us fighting for our lives." John said, adding the last part. "And I'm going to be honest, you are the most interesting person I have ever met in my life and I want to know more about you."
Mary stared down at him, meeting his eyes with her own narrowed. She tried to weigh her options, she already knew that there wasn't going to be any other alpha coming to ask her so it didn't matter what gossip was spread around about her, whatever her reputation might become, there was no point to it.
"Fine." she said, watching the surprise and then the delight spread over John's face. "I get off at six."
"I'll be here." John promised, smiling at her.
Mary fought the urge to return the smile and just turned away, going back into the kitchen, and once the door was closed behind her let herself crumble a bit and let out a deep breath, mind whirled as she tried to figure out what was going to happen.
