Chapter 2 Tricked Her

A waitress greeted them. Cammile looked at the woman's appearance from head to toe and snorted. The waitress looked just as she had in mind when she decided to walk into that bar. She was wearing a very short skirt and a blouse with the ends tied up deliberately to expose her navel, which was pierced, and her hair tied up in a red bandanna. Overall, the waitress looked like a cheap bitch.

“Table for two.”

"Of course. Follow me. You guys are lucky you came before the dinner wave started.”

“We just enjoyed the Mardi Gras Festival and are starving.”

“That will make our bar even busier tonight. There will be a special band performance in an hour."

“Great. I'll make sure I'll join in on the hubbub,” Stevi exclaimed excitedly as she opened the menu placed in front of her by the waitress.

"Are you two a couple?"

Stevi and Cammile looked at each other. A second later the waitress apologized and corrected her words.

"Forgive me. I thought you two were a couple who came together to the bar."

"No. She's my friend. We want medium-rare steaks. We like fresh beef with the blood still dripping off it. Yeah, but not raw steak," said Stevi with a blush.

“Euwwh... That's a strange taste, girls. But I make sure our chef cooks steak according to your order. How about a drink?"

“Give us two jumbo beers.”

"Okay. I'll be right back with your orders."

The waitress took the menu book from their table and disappeared behind the kitchen door.

Stevi couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw Cammile's face turning red with annoyance.

"Couple? Seriously. The world has been a bit chaotic lately.”

"Just relax. That's normal. How old are you now, Cammile?”

"Does it matter?"

“Hmm… I guess you're fifty-two now. Am I right?"

“Are you trying to mock me? I am indeed older than you, who have just turned eighteen. But we are werewolves. I'm still quite young if I'm a human.”

Stevi burst out laughing. She loved to tease Cammile.

“I mean, it's been a long time since you hung out with your friends. You may not follow the trend anymore. Now people are more open to showing their love to anyone. You have to get used to it," Stevi patted Cammile's hand, which was lying on the table.

“In my era, people dated according to gender. I mean men and women. So... well, now things have changed. I have to get used to it since I became your babysitter.”

"I'm not a baby anymore, Cammile. And you are my friend."

"I even changed your diapers when you were the size of an eggplant," Cammile burst out laughing. Now, she can take revenge on Stevi with her sarcasm.

"By the way, you're not really going to stay to watch that band, are you?"

We're here, I don't want to miss any of the opportunities I have. It will be hard to come back here once we return to the castle.”

"Hi, sweety."

"Hi."

A man with a messy face suddenly greeted Stevi. Stevi waved back at the guy and got even dirtier looks from the other guys at the bar. Cammile threw them a sharp glare.

"You go to hell. Don't tease my friend."

“Your friend looks scary. Join us at the bar counter for drinks,” The man winked at Stevi.

“Okay. After I finish my steak.”

Cammile glared at Stevi. “Oh my gosh! Stop it, Stevi. You make me want to tie you to a chair, so you can't go anywhere."

“Relax, Cammile. They only asked me to drink beer. Not something to worry about.”

“They want to grope you! I can read it from their rotten faces.”

“Ssshh... keep your voice down. They can hear you badmouthing them.”

“Screw them. If something bad happens to you, your parents will cut off my head and make it a decoration in your castle.”

“Tsk, Mom and Dad wouldn't be that cruel. They love you, Cammile. You are the best in the pack. You are my friend," Stevi squeezed Cammile's palm gently.

That touched Cammile. She squeezed Stevi's palm and smiled gently. It didn't take long for their food to be served. The waitress kept her promise by bringing them a medium-rare steak with blood still dripping between the fibers of the beef. Stevi's saliva almost dripped when she saw her steak. She didn't wait long to finish her food.

-00-

Now Cammile regretted her decision. She was so stupid to believe Stevi's sweet words. She was tricked when Stevi said that she was her friend. Look what Stevi did after she let her guard down. Stevi went over to the men's table and challenged them to drink a jumbo beer in less than twenty seconds. Insane!

Cammile walked over to Stevi, who was gulping her third glass. The men’s cheers made Stevi even more excited about finishing her beer.

"I win! You all owe me five hundred dollars.”

“Amazing, no woman has ever managed to down three jumbo beers in one go. Are you sure your stomach is okay?"

"I can even drink two more glasses," said Stevi arrogantly.

She didn't think that being free from her parents' strict rules would be so great. She had never been so free in her eighteen years of life. She wasn't free to make friends with anyone. She was closely watched by werewolves who disguised themselves as her teachers at school. It was the first time Stevi could have fun and laugh so hard with the guys at the bar.

"Stevi, let's go home. You promised not to come home later than midnight. We have to drive six hours before we get home,” Cammile whispered furiously.

"Calm down, Cammy. We'll be home on time. The band I've been waiting for will perform. I can't miss it.”

You should miss the band's performance and go home,” Cammile grabbed Stevi's arm and forced her to get up from her chair.

"Who is she? Your babysitter?"

"She's my friend."

"She's very fierce and keeps forbidding you to do what you like."

"Shut up. You don't know anything about us,” Cammile barked fiercely.

She glared at the men one by one, hoping they would be intimidated by her Omega’s side. But damn, none of them took her anger seriously. They all laughed loudly and imitated her angry style.

“You really are funny. You look like my mom’s chihuahua when she's having a tantrum."

"What are you saying?"

“Cammile, ignore the taunts. Please, give me a chance to dance on the dance floor and enjoy the music. I won't be long, ok?”

Stevi held Cammile's shoulder and spoke more seriously. She tried to reassure Cammile that she would be fine and they would be home soon.

"Okay. You may dance one more song. Then we go home."

"Aye aye, captain. I won't be long," Stevi exclaimed happily, and walked onto the dance floor with several men following her.

"Bye, fierce lady."

"Fuck you. I'll tear you all to pieces if you grope Stevi."

Cammile bit her lip nervously. She would get in trouble if something bad happened to Stevi. She kept a close eye on Stevi while Stevi rocked on the dance floor with the men around her. Cammile's jaw tightened as she saw Stevi's body being groped several times by those damn men. But Stevi was so calm when he removed their hands from her. Cammile was very stressed by everything Stevi did today.

“Your nanny looks really upset.”’

"Cammile will be fine. She was drinking soda at the bar counter.”

Stevi moved her hips to the beat of the pounding music. Her young soul seethed with gusto. It was the best birthday present she ever got. She had never felt so free and able to do things she had only wished for.

"Where did those guys go?" Stevi stopped dancing. She was confused when she saw the men who had been teasing her moving away from her in a hurry.

Suddenly Stevi felt something blow on her nape. She reflexively turned around to meet the most beautiful and dangerous gaze she had ever seen. The man grinned at her and blew hot breath on her face.

"I've been watching you ever since."

"Who are you?"
