Chasing His Kickass Luna Back by Jane Above Story

What an arrogant a ss. He’s just as egotistical as he always was.

I rub my temples as the back door slams shut behind Karl. I stalk back across the room, giving John a

look as I pass. He lifts his hands in supplication. “Sorry, boss. But to be fair, he started it.”

“This is a kitchen, not a boxing ring,” I hiss, shooting John a glare that makes him practically shrink. “If

you have a problem with someone, then take it outside. Better yet, don’t get into a fight at work. There

are literal stoves on, and knives everywhere. This isn’t the place or time.”

The message is directed at John, but I know everyone’s listening.

“Yes, boss,” he mumbles.

I walk back to my station and get back to work. We’re in the middle of a dinner rush, and the last thing I

need is for my employees to start fighting. I get why Karl was pis sed. John is being even more abrasive

and vulgar than usual tonight, but that doesn’t mean he should start a fight in the middle of my

restaurant. Imagine if my customers heard them.

Great, now everyone in the kitchen is going to be afraid of him. It’s only a matter of time before they

find out who and what he really is. I can’t afford to have an Alpha here, not if everyone finds out. They’ll

probably start to see him as the person in charge and not me.

I watch Karl return to his station and smile to myself. I’ve already had a couple of complaints about him,

and I’ll have to talk to him about it later. But even if he’s been irritating the hell out of my employees, it’s

a little amusing to watch him try to figure this whole restaurant thing out.

Tonight, just a little while before closing time, I call Karl to my office. When he arrives, he closes the

office door behind him and leans back into it. His face is slightly red from the heat of the
