The crowd was slowly increasing. The girls who were practicing at a corner were no longer there, the waiters had changed their outfits and were now in uniform, everywhere seemed more organised than it was when they first came in. They were then led into a huge room that had similar uniforms on different clothes lines.
There were two vanities opposite each other on either side of the room. The place looked like a dormitory. They both giggled excitedly at how much of an upgrade they had from their old place. They looked at the notes on their desks and it was a roaster, they were performing last that night.
They decided to peek at the others that went on stage before them. An hour had passed and the two girls were now seated at a corner with their mouths agape. The performers were professionals, they danced like they had attended "stripper school," unlike them. "Cam, why were we hired here?" Mia asked her friend with confusion.
Cam could not deny the obvious fact… they did not belong there. Yet, they were. A wave of uneasiness flushed over Cam as she thought about all the possible reasons why they would be hired when they clearly did not blend in with the other dancers. "Maybe they were on a budget and only added us because they would pay us less than them," Cam said, trying to ease her friend. She even began to believe it at some point.
"Or could this be Angelo's doing?" She asked herself. "No, it could not be. Mia was the one who was hired first, so it could not be about me" she also thought to herself. She excused herself from where she and Mia were seated, and went out looking for the restroom. She wandered aimlessly about the huge hallways. She finally saw a restroom sign and walked in without knocking. When Cam walked in, she could hear a voice.
It was a man speaking to someone else whom she assumed was either on a call or was just extremely silent. "I promise, I just need to help him with his mate and I will return. Things are… not as easy as we thought they would be. Now we have to display a whole drama just to get her." The deep voice spoke. Cam was still stuck in the spot that she was… in front of the mirror.
Cam was confused, she was sure of what she had just heard, "were there more wolves in town?" She wondered. She began to scratch her suddenly itchy skin. "I do not want any of that, and I already made that very clear. What good would a mate do for me?" He asked. "I knew I heard right!" Cam said to herself. She tried to listen to hear more but there was not much said after that. "Okay, goodbye now. I love you and give the kids a kiss for me" the deep voice said and the sound of a door knob was heard.
Cam immediately turned the tap on and feigned being busy. She splashed the water on her arms that were still itchy, daring not to look in the mirror and cone face to face with the person whose conversation she had been eavesdropping on. "What are you doing here?" a deep voice asked behind her. She looked in the mirror frightened. Her eyes came in contact with Angelo. It was him… he was the one on the call, he did not want her as a mate and he seemed to be telling anyone who was willing to listen.
"You do not have any sense of cautiousness, I see" she said. "I asked you a question," he said rudely. "I am in here because this is a restroom. I needed a restroom, so I came in here" Cam said in a rude tone as well. "And who told you that you could use this restroom?" He asked her. Cam huffed and turned the tap off. She turned around to come face to chest with him. She had not realised that he moved closer to her.
He bent down and moved his head toward her neck. Cam took in a sharp breath, "you are just casually talking about mates as though you do not care if anyone found out about who you really were" Cam said. Her voice was now much lower and Angelo smirked with pride at the effect he had on her. "First of all princess, what would anyone do if they found out? What do you think would happen if it was someone else who was eavesdropping on my conversation?" He asked.
"I was not eaves-" Angelo cut her short. "Whst exactly would have them thinking that I was a wolf? Hearing the word mate? Or do you think that club filled with half drunk people would remember anything that they saw or heard? In that room are people filled with secrets, just like you. Welcome to the world of the rich and powerful, no one cares about your secrets when they are busy hiding theirs" he said. He stopped hovering over her ear and stood back in his normal posture.
"And I need you to leave so I can leave. This restroom is just for me or my brother to use. And you would know that if you had read the sign on the door. There are other restrooms that you could use" he finished. Cam felt herself getting red with shame, she was so sure that she had only seen a bathroom sign on the wall. She did not see the "restricted access" that was written on the door.
She walked back in and looked at the restroom properly. It was just two stalls and there were no gender specifics anywhere. She bent her head in shame as she walked out of the restroom. "One more thing. If I see any of those men as much as lay a finger on your body, I will have you taken up to my room where I will bend you over and spank you until you remember who your mate is" he said. Cam frowned at him, even though her pussy betrayed her by getting moist. "You do not want a mate, remember?" She said referencing what he said on the call and walked away.
