I legitimately didn’t have a single clothing option for that, so there was no point in dwelling on it.
“No biting,” I reminded the wolf, one last time.
His grumbly growl made me sigh.
It was probably a bad time to make a joke about keeping his teeth in his mouth, akin to keeping his dick in his pants, so I stayed quiet.
I tugged the heavy door open and stepped into the bar-slash-nightclub. It wasn’t fancy, but it was huge, and was the most popular place for night life in Mist Valley.
“What the hell is that?” The bartender demanded from across the room. He was a demon not much more powerful than me, but because he worked for tips, the bastard had a much higher quality of life than I did.
Axel gave a low growl in his direction.
I supposed that if I was attracted to extreme douchebags with red hair and a preference for penises, he would’ve been a threat to the buff, bronze god the wolf could transform into.
“A werewolf. We’re fated mates.” I patted Axel’s head in demonstration.
The bartender made a gagging noise.
I felt Axel’s body tense, and dropped to my knees, hugging the wolf tightly enough to trap him in place. “We’re adorable,” I called to the guy. “Shut up and focus on your booze if you don’t want your throat ripped out. Werewolves might not be popular, but they’ve definitely got sharp teeth.”
He turned away, luckily, ignoring the hell out of me.
I remained on my knees, hugging the wolf, until I was pretty sure that he wouldn’t murder the redheaded dude.
When I thought it was safe, I slowly released Axel.
He didn’t immediately attack anyone or anything, so I let out a relieved breath and stood up.
Crisis averted.
This was going to be a really damn long night, though.
We didn’t seeanyone else as we made our way through the building. Another breath of relief escaped me when I opened the door to my custodial closet and we stepped inside, away from the possibility of drama.
While I loaded the cart for the first tasks of my shift, I talked to the wolf.
“Look, I know you’re possessive, but you really don’t need to worry about anyone here,” I told him. “None of them are interested in me. I might as well be dirt. Demons are one of the least-popular types of mysts, and I’m literally the least-popular demon. No one spares me a second glance. When the bartender looked at me, he wasn’t seeingme. He was seeingyou.”
The wolf grumbled at me in response, and I heaved a sigh.
This was getting us nowhere.
“If you attack anyone while I’m here, I’ll be homeless,” I told him bluntly.
His ears perked up at that.
I didnotlike the way they did, either. That perkiness didn’t bode well for me.
“I can’t move to your house in Moon Ridge,” I added. “It’s not fireproof, and I can’t control my magic. I’d burn it down.”
He chuffed at me, like he didn’t believe that.
I huffed back at him. “Seriously, Axel. This is my life, okay? I’ve worked extremely hard just to keep food on my damn table. If you attack anyone, this thing between us isn’t going to work out.”
In which case I’d probably need to give back his money.
Yikes.
