#Chapter 79: Mean Spirited
Abby
The lunchtime rush is finally easing up. Much unlike yesterday, it’s been a smooth day so far, and I feel
relieved; but that’s exactly when it happens.
I’m scanning the restaurant floor, making sure everything is running smoothly, when I hear the crash.
It’s a shocking mix of the sound of ceramic shattering, gasps, and the thud of a body hitting the floor,
followed by a loud “Ow!”
My heart lurches into my throat as I rush over to see one of my waitresses, Sarah, sprawled on the
ground amid a mess of broken dishes and spilled food.
“What happened?” I ask, my eyes darting around the room, locking onto a group of snickering
teenagers at a nearby table.
“I saw it,” Karl says, striding past me. “Those little s hits tripped her. Deliberately.”
In seconds, he’s at their table, his face dark with anger. “You think that was funny? Get up.”
“It was an accident!” one of the kids says, feigning innocence. But it’s clear that he’s full of sh it. They all
are.
I kneel beside Sarah, who’s clutching her wrist, her face pale. “Are you okay?” I ask.
“I think so,” she mumbles, grimacing as she attempts to move. I call over two other employees to clean
the mess and guide Sarah to a chair.
Karl reappears, dragging the shame-faced teenagers behind him. “Apologize,” he commands, his voice
icy. They mumble sca ttered apologies, looking anywhere but at Sarah or me.
“Sorry isn’t enough,” Karl continues. “You’re washing dishes for the rest of the night. And if I see any of
you around here again causing trouble, you’re going to wish you never set foot in this place.”
“Karl, you can’t—” I begin, but my voice trails off with a look from Karl. A look I know all too well, one
that embodies his spirit of an Alpha.
I watch the teenagers slink off to the kitchen, led by Karl. The room is quiet now; even the low hum of
conversations has died down. But my focus is on Sarah, who is sitting by the bar and wiping tears from
