Alpha’s Virgin Stripper

"You would..." She leaned out of the door and held her chest tight. Emerald corked her left brow at the young girl, before tearing her eyes away from her and returning her gaze to the pan.

"You would never believe who I just saw." The girl took some time off her speech to cough. Emerald sighed and cast her a short glance.

"Not if you tell me my dead husband is here to say hello." She held her spatula in her right hand and turned off the fire with the left.

"Mrs Smith, believe me. You would never guess what just happened, all the way from freaking Rush pack!"

Okay, now she was starting to get scared. She moved closer to Mel, still narrowing her eyes on the younger girl.

"Mel, is something wrong? Did something happen? Is Jojo okay? Does she need help? Did something happen to her?" Emerald turn to the clock in the kitchen. It was already almost three pm, the girl was supposed to be back in the restaurant by now.

"Jojo is supposed to be back by now. If something has happened to her..."

Lost, Mel blinked twice with her lips slightly parted. She shook her head vehemently and moved closer to Mrs Smith. Emerald felt herself calm down as the girl debunked her fears.

"No, no, this is not about Jojo. She is fine, she is taking a walk back from school." Mel replied. Mrs Smith drew in a deep breath and exhaled.

"I have told Jojo times without number not to walk back from school. She's going to lose strength really fast. She has my number, she can always call me. Why do you girls always insist on being so stubborn?" Emerald whined in faint annoyance. The girls always liked to do almost everything on their own, and it really bothered her sometimes. They were young, and even if they had endured a good part of the hardship of the world, they were still strangers to the mechanisms.

"It's fine, Mrs Smith. Really. Jojo took all the necessary vitamins. You went to see the doctor with her the other day, didn't you? Come on, she will be fine." Mel replied, squeezing her shoulders gently and flashing her a reassuring smile. "Alright, if you say so. But, what is the issue?"

Mel cleared her throat, ready to drop the bomb. She sucked in deep breaths and exhaled almost immediately. Emerald continued to watch the young girl's face, she found that her toes had curled in anticipation. "The alpha is here!" Mel cried out.

Emerald stole her gaze from the girl and looked above her shoulder, as though she would find something before the closed door. The alpha of Ten was here? But why? There were so many other restaurants he could try in Ten, why hers? "The alpha of Ten? Why is he here?" She asked.

Mel squinted her brows shortly, before she frowned slightly.

"Ten? No. No. It's not the alpha of Ten. It's alpha Lake Rush! Alpha of Rush pack, he's here! Right now! With his beta!" Mel did not know why she was screaming at the top of her voice, but it was something she could not help. She did not know how they had managed to find them, but they were here now. She had to deliver the news to Jojo as soon as possible, but Mrs Smith needed to know first.

Rush pack. The alpha. Lake Rush. Is here. The words continued to echo in her ears. At that moment, Emerald's whole world seemed to freeze over. Her whole body felt like it would melt into the ground, so much so that the spatula fell from her hands.

"Mel, please tell me this is not a prank." She did not know why, but she could not bring herself to believe that her son was here, in Ten! The odds were a hundred million to one. She did not want to get her hopes up, only to lose him again. Mel frowned slightly.

"Of course! He is seated and waiting for his meal as we..!"

Before Mel could complete her statement, the woman pushed past her and flung the kitchen door open. Emerald dashed out of the kitchen and found her way out of the counter as fast as her legs could carry her. She stood in front of the counter, panting heavily, beads of cold sweat dropped from her forehead and trickled down to the sides of her nose.

All eyes in the main room turned to her, she searched for the onyx black eyes of the only man she loved in this cruel world, but she could not find him. She did not care that she stood in front of her crowd of customers with her grease stained apron and her hair tied in a tight bun above her head. They could all look at her like she as crazy, because she was.

She as a crazy mother who yearned for the presence of her son, who had yearned for him for more than twenty-five years.

She sought for him, yet she did not find him. Disappointed, she turned her back to find Mel. If the girl had only been playing tricks on her, the goddess knew that she would not be able to forgive her.

Mel emerged from the kitchen door, only to find a furious Mrs Smith staring back at her. She as first taken aback, before the confusion followed. Once again, news of the alpha had sent the woman over an edge. Today, Mel was determined to know the nature of the relationship her boss had with with alpha of Rush pack.

"I thought you said Lake was here." Emerald spoke, through ragged breaths. Mel nodded her head and pointed towards the VIP lounge.

"He is. I ushered them into the VIP lounge and..."

Emerald picked up her pace in a heartbeat. She rushed over to the VIP session and stood in front of the small cubic space.

Her legs stood frozen to the ground immediately her electric blue eyes met with eyes as dark as the precious onyx stone.

She felt her heart jump in her chest, a stray drop of tear rushed down her left eye.
