Chapter 18

Zara POV

It seems like the following week flew by in a blur. All four of the asshole Alpha-gang kept dumpingridiculous tasks on my shoulders, but the one I’m stuck on now is definitely topping on the goddamncake.

Apparently, there is another package coming in tonight that is very darn important for Thane, and I’mthe one who has to deliver it to their packhouse before the clock hits 7 PM. Those morons neverpromised to pay me for overtime hours yet gladly used every chance to make my work experience asmiserable as possible.

“Here is the key you can use to lock up when you leave. The delivery will be at the loading docksbehind the building,” Rhen says with a chuckle as he passes me the key. This is so unfair! I must staybehind for an hour after the workday ends.

I watch him leave with the others before I make my way down to the said loading docks. The placelooks like what one would actually assume to replace-down there, it’s a dimly lit area, but I still manage toreplace a few staff areas, a cleaning supplies closet and some storage area packed with packs of printerpaper of various sizes and broken computer parts.

This week, the four men have done everything and sought for any, even the stupidest reason, to fireme. Too bad for them because they actually taught me a valuable lesson about myself- I’m damnamazing working under pressure, and each timel. complete one of their ridiculous tasks successfully, Iswear, Thane looks like he is about to blow up or murder me. Ah, the sweet, silent taste of littlevictories.

As I wait around the docks, I glance at the key in my hand and the security password. At this point, I’mback to sleeping in the plaza stairwell, and the last few nights, 1 barely had any sleep. I have alsoreached a dangerously low level of my suppressants, which only makes matters worse.

I dread running out of them because Thane and Raidon have me running ragged all day long; I’m tootired to even walk to the strip club and beg Tal for some work.

Oddly enough, Leon was awol today and yesterday. The rest of them are tense and acting more out oftheir character, making me wonder what is going on with the fourth asshole.

Nevertheless, this is not the time for me to dwell on something that is not even remotely related to whatI am doing right now or any of my business. So instead, I watch the hours tick by and grow annoyinglyimpatient. Where the hell is this delivery person Thane mentioned earlier?

My eyes are once again drawn down to my phone as I glance at it. I have fifteen minutes until thedelivery arrives. Honestly, I still don’t understand why Thane didn’t let me leave work and return aroundthe time I was supposed to pick up his delivery. What confused me was why he couldn’t get it deliveredto his packhouse if he needed it there, not at the office.

A chuckle leaves my lips as I shake my head at the silly thoughts. Of course, I know why Thane isdoing this. He wants to break me and have a reason to fire me or push me out of the company byhaving me quit. I guess that’s the reason why he and the rest of the assholes have been doing nothingbut killing me with impossible tasks for the past week. God, do I hate them, do I hate them withpassion.

My eyes dart in the direction of the storage locker behind me. It has a master key. For a brief moment, Icontemplate skipping across the street to the smoke store, where I know they have a key cutter. I havepassed by the building so many times that it’s impossible to miss the sign. Besides, the store is open

for only a few more minutes, so technically, I have enough time to run there and back before thedelivery person arrives.

In spite of my better judgment, I succumb to the temptation as I chew on my bottom lip. At least itsounds a little better than spending my nights on the stairwell at the plaza.

Going for the risk before I hesitate or overthink, I run across the road, and my stomach instantly dropswhen the man behind the counter announces that cutting a copy of the key would cost me fifteendollars.

Thand him the money and the key, cursing to myself as now I’m left with twenty-five dollars to coverfood and necessary items.

I tell the man I will return to pick up the key once it’s done and rush back to work to wait by the loadingdock. I tap my foot against the concrete impatiently when I notice a smoke store worker pull the rollershutters down; I shriek and rush back across the road. I wave my hands at the man from the smokestore, only to see the delivery van pull into the loading docks. Fuck, damn it, shit!

“The key!” I extend my palm towards him as I ask the vampire who works there to return what I paid for,along with the original.

Leaving such important keys in the hands of someone as shady as this guy is absolutely not an optionfor me. My career, and probably my life, would be at stake if I made a mistake like that.

As the man groans, he pushes up the roller shutter and darts inside, cursing and groaning. A fewminutes later, he comes out again and hands me an envelope with both keys inside. When I see thedelivery driver get out of the vehicle, I gush a quick, “Thank you!” and I sprint back to the loading docksas a woman steps out of the delivery van.
