I spend the rest of the day attending to my werewolf clients and try to maintain a calm human facade. It's crazy how I have been in this place for over a month and I couldn't tell they were supernatural's` rather than humans. Honestly, I feel upset about this. While I was focusing on stupid feathery tiny ass creatures' wolves were sniffing me up.
My petty side rears its ugly head up, and my last client is my target of frustration. Piper happens to be a seventeen-year-old girl with boy problems. It didn't take much for me to figure out that she liked a boy who wasn't her destined mate and felt that life was unfair to her and shit.
She hated her housemates aka her packmates and just wanted them to disappear.
"So, what exactly do you need my help with? I fix people's minds, not house situations" I offer slowly acting confused. I still need to play dumb until the foreseeable future.
"I don't know. Oh, you know what you're just useless. Why did I think you could help me when clearly, you're just a human" Piper proceeds to roll her blue eyes at me and it takes a little effort for me to hold in my chuckle. I smile instead and throw the assessment pad down and give the teenager my full attention. I absolutely abhorred children of any kind. Kids were the meatiest creatures, but they also just so happen to have the most chaotic of emotions.
Impulsive and wild. Perfect for snacking on during the day I have discovered.
Her emotions are very intense and powering. I take in a long breath and just relax. Enjoying the moment of temporal power. I have Piper lay down into a comfortable seat and adjust it for relaxation. I need her mind focused on her very negative emotions so I can do what needs to be done.
"Say I could give you what you wanted, what exactly would you want specifically?" I ask but receive a glare like she wants to stomp on me or something and this time my chuckle escapes and her glare intensifies.
"Are you laughing at me? This is serious" she throws her arms out and her blue eyes turn into a fiery yellow. Again, I pretend not to notice the anomaly and stealthily look out my office window to where Tracy sits on her reception desk.
I observe my teenage client from the corner of my eyes as she attempts to calm herself down. Piper to her credit looks up into my ceiling and fits her hands tight as she breathes in and out.
"There's no need for you to get upset Miss Piper, just tell me exactly how I can help and I will." I offer and keep her gaze when she looks back down at me. Piper offers me a fake smile as all teens do and I give her back a genuine one. It's true I actually want to help this girl. But most importantly I want to use her.
"Well, it's not like I cannot tell you what I want, you're bound by doctor client confidentiality so why not." Piper takes a long breathe and fully calms down and leans back in her seat. With her eyes closed again she begins.
"Her name is Jessica. Yes, she's pretty but she is a total bitch. I mean am also pretty so why her? Why did the goddess have to give him her! We used to be friends Jessica and me. Our mothers were best friends and even got pregnant together, so we were expected to be friends too you know. And we did, become friends that it until Aron came into the picture. He's got the most beautiful baby blues and that smile, urgh " Piper before I could interrupt her love consumed mind starts to tear up. I offer the tissue box and watch her lightly tap away her tears.
I frown slightly at this; thing is I don't want to listen to her soapy emotional constipation. Am more interested in her revenge than anything else really.
"...right. So, you feel wronged and betrayed by circumstances. Not only did you not get the boy you wanted but your friend who should've been with you throughout this time did" I try to encourage the continuation of the conversation, and luckily, she clears her throat and is back to business.
"I mean Jessica didn't really even like Aron like that you know, I mean sure she would acknowledge that he was good looking, but she wasn't into him you get. I don't understand why when she didn't even want him you know" She croaks and for a moment I actually realize that she genuinely liked the boy.
Actually, now I get much more than she thinks I do. The supposed werewolf goddess gave her friend the mate she wanted to test the friendship, and she has failed terribly because from how I understand werewolf rules is that a mate was destined, and you actually couldn't just decide you didn't want them anymore.
You were glued soul deep with them spiritually. To tear a bond was equivalent to death or something. I had a werewolf friend at some point in my life.
"So, it's not really her fault that she ended up with the boy you liked... " I state the obvious rolling my own eyes inwards as I clench my jaws. Did I just waste my fucking time on this stupid child for something minor like this? This is not food worthy.
"What? Of course it's her fault!" Piper objects with a small glare and I can tell she's not convinced its really Jessica's fault either.
"How?" At this point am too tired and annoyed and just want her gone. She has practically just become useless to me now.
"Well, she let him like her. She manipulated him into liking her" I stay quiet just to let her digest her own words and realize just how stupid she sounds. Damnit how did this end up like this.
"Look Piper, your friend didn't do anything wrong. Seems to me like you are struggling with accepting their relationship. I mean if you actually loved and wanted the best for your friend you would at least try and be happy for her. It's true we don't always get what we want but seeing our friends happy should at least make up for it. And besides, if you like this boy so much then it's better seeing him with your friend than someone else right... " I don't even care about what am saying, I just want her placated and out of my fucking office now.
Piper to her credit takes a moment to actually digest the little I have said. I can smell her emotions as they go from annoyed to confused and then back to annoyance and then finally settle on just sadness. luckily, she doesn't dwell too much on that either and a small smile makes its way to the corners of her mouth and finally she blinks a couple of times and then smiles. I can see and smell the moment she accepts her fate and she reaches to her ear where she tucks her blond hair behind her ear and nods in my direction. She proceeds to sit up and stand then make her way to the couch on the other side where she picks up her handbag and leaves my office without a word.
I let out a long sigh and just breath out all my frustration for the day.
"Am starving" I murmur to myself as I realize am still hungry and back where I was before this shitty day started. I make mental plans for a late-night snack after I get home.
I don't understand why werewolves would even need therapy. I mean don't they get off on killing each other and stuff. I huff in annoyance as I realize just how unlucky today has been.
