The Girl He Marked by Laila Callaway

Chapter 2 

He fills me in and I just stare at him. 

He must be joking. 

‘Look, before you say no, he‘s serious about potentially giving you the job. No shifters have applied and they can‘t employ humans who don‘t know about us, so, you‘re perfect! And it pays well,‘ he says. 

I sigh, leaning back against the counter. I realize my cereal is just sat there, getting soggy, so I pick up the bowl and start eating again. 

Just think about it. I wrote his phone number down, let him know if you‘re coming or not. The interview is at 1 pm. 

Nate pushes the piece of paper towards me and I eye it suspiciously. 

Why would I want to work at a packhouse? I‘m going to look like such an outsider. 

Thanks for trying Nate, I tell him gratefully and he nods. 

‘Right, I‘ve got to go to sleep for my shift. I probably won‘t see you unless we cross over tomorrow. Good luck and don‘t be loud and wake me up, he jokes and I roll my eyes at him. 

He leaves the kitchen and I glance down at the paper again. Any job is a job, I guess. I take a long shower and then call Alpha Damien. 

He seems nice enough and I agree to meet him at 1 PM. 

I take my time getting ready. I straighten my long, brown hair and make sure my make–up is attractive, but professional. I choose a pencil skirt with a silk blouse, finishing my look with a blazer. At half 12, I get into my car and put the postcode in my SatNav, It only takes me ten minutes to arrive at the large, metal gates protecting the forest of the Eastern Mountain Pack. I pull up to them and press the button on the control pad. 

‘Identification?‘ A gruff voice sounds out and I clear my throat. 

‘Um, I have an interview with Alpha Damien at 1 PM:
