Damn it, we didn't ask for a woman.

After the Alpha left, Seth spent a while on the hood of her car. She took her time to process what had happened.

First of all - she just enjoyed probably the best dick game in her lifetime.

Second - she went against all her beliefs and principles when it came to high-rank partners.

And third - she slept with a complete stranger, entirely giving in and letting him take control over her as well as her body.

*"And I didn't bother to ask for his goddamn name, at that."* She thought to herself, letting out a deep, frustrated breath.

Seth regained her senses, picked up her torn panties, and threw them into the back of the car. The torn piece of fabric was all he left behind, and as she glanced at it, she hoped that their paths wouldn't cross ever again. One time was more than enough - she didn't need more adventures.

The thought of explaining her little adventure to Anton froze her entirely. How would she ever admit that she gave in, that she didn't think of consequences?

*"But that uniform, though."* Once again, the thoughts attacked her mind; none of those filthy ideas had any connection to whatever sanity Seth was left with. She tried her best to forget what happened, even if for a while and jumped into the driver's seat.

Seth started the car, focusing on her goal instead of letting her mind overflow with the memories of recent sensations. She drove to the nearest city and stopped by a cheap-looking motel, booking a one-bedroom suite to spend the night in.

She quickly walked to the door with her number on it, unlocked the door, and rushed inside. Seth locked the door behind her, a little scared of the other people that decided to spend their days around the place. The only positive thing about the site was how clean and neat it seemed - the nice lady working at the reception made sure to give Seth a room with a separate bathroom.

It wasn't much, but for one night, it would be more than enough.

She took a quick shower, wrapped herself in the soft towel, and headed to the bed, falling on the mattress face first. Now, she could finally think about everything that happened in silence. Sitting in her car, staring at nothing like a zombie and thinking didn't seem a good idea.

Doing the same thing, yet in a room with a locked door and closed curtains - that was more reasonable than the option Seth avoided.

She took a deep breath and turned around, laying on her back. The memories, each small detail about his facial features, finally attacked her mind. Seth couldn't believe that someone that handsome walked the face of the Earth, and for some reason, he wanted her.

Of course, she had had many partners in the past, and many men had spent their fair share in her bed, but none of them stood even close to that mysterious Alpha. Seth wasn't the typical shifter - being a cat had its pros and cons.

For example, the little excess weight she carried was one of the cons. Shifter women were known for being tall and slim, the complete opposite of Seth. She had what her mother called - 'pushing hips'. Her mother was sure that the wider hips a woman had, the easier it would be for her to give birth.

Complete bullshit, if anyone asked Seth's opinion. She groaned again, hating her ways of overthinking.

Her hand unknowingly stroked the skin under the rubber band of her panties, slowly making its way down. As her hand cupped her pussy, she let out a shaking breath. The wild thoughts invaded her mind, and Seth found herself missing the rough touch of the Alpha. She wasn't a fan of dirty talk, but when he did it - that was an instant turn-on.

Her fingers slid over her slit, finding the clit way too early. Seth wanted to imitate even one, little thing she got to experience with the Alpha, but her impatient nature took over - as usual, Seth rushed whatever she did.

"Fuck," she moaned out, playing with herself, her thoughts overtaken by the persistent Alpha. As she thought a while ago, she tried to imagine his face as she played with herself, yet this time, his face wasn't in front of her, grinning - it was between her legs, licking and sucking on her like a wild animal.

She imagined the loud moan that had left his lips, and as if she was under a spell - she reached the climax, even though she was nowhere close before.

"Damn you, fucking sex, God! The sooner I forget about your existence, the fucking better!" Seth snarled, lazily sliding out of bed and heading to the bathroom. She quickly rinsed her hand, grabbed a small towel, and forced it under the flow of water. She cleaned herself up and took the time to face the reflection in the mirror.

"What have you done? Why? Are you fucking proud of yourself, slut?!" She screamed, sending her fist to the reflection in the mirror. She watched how it shattered in pieces in front of her eyes and grinned.

Seth didn't bother to clean up the mess or work on her wounds - those would be gone within a couple of hours. She jumped into the bed, pulled the blanket over her head, and closed her eyes. If anyone, Seth deserved some rest. New morning would come with new possibilities; perhaps, then she would gain enough courage to confess to Anton. Right now, it didn't matter - she needed some rest before she got back in her car.

***

The morning came faster than she expected. Seth slept only for a couple of hours, forced to leave the comfort of the bed way too early. She took a shower, gathered her stuff, and headed to the receptionist.

"Good morning," Seth greeted the lady, a wide smile on her lips.

"Morning, dear. Did you get enough rest? I hope there weren't any problems, and no one dared to disturb you," the woman replied, placing a paper cup on the corner of the reception table. "I made you a cup of coffee before you leave. It's rare to see women passing by here." The woman smiled, eyeing Seth. Her eyes were captivating; Seth was sure that she was a fox. Not just by her nature, but in reality - a true fox shifter.

Instead of sinking into deeper conversations, Seth thanked the woman, left the key, and rushed towards her car.

Seth spent hours driving until finally, the bright city lights appeared around the horizon, illuminating the dark highway. Once again, she noticed how only she was driving the lonely roads. *"A particular Alpha wouldn't be too bad to meet again,"* she thought to herself to hiss in anger again. *"No, stop, forget that asshole. We do not do Alphas, remember?"*

Seth reached for the piece of paper given by Anton. He wrote down the address she was supposed to go to. First, she had to drive through the whole city, and as if it wasn't trouble enough, the unknown roads toward the goal were terrifying her.

She did her best to hide the distress she felt - as soon as she arrived, she had to leave the best impression. Who knew; perhaps, she would gain some powerful friends along the way. Not only would many Alphas surround her for weeks, but also the highest Council members.

She found the hidden road pretty quickly. The vast building was the first thing that came into her view, but further, she could see many more that seemed even bigger.

Everyone knew that wolves knew no boundaries when it came to a luxurious lifestyle, but even this seemed to be too much for them. Who on Earth would love to spend their days in an area that looked like a damn village on its own?

Seth threw a glance at the tiny piece of paper again. She parked her car near the first building, got out and approached one of the guards.

"Good evening, Miss. How may we help you?" The polite guard bowed his head, showing the utmost respect for the guest. Even if she was just a human - the guards would do the same thing. They were taught that everyone deserved respect unless proven otherwise.

"Good evening, gentlemen. Will any of you be a darling and tell me where I can find building 133A? Entrance B?" Seth smiled at the shocked-looking men. She didn't understand why the guards seemed so taken aback because of her questions.

"Yes, of course, Miss." The same guard spoke up, a wide smile spreading over his lips. "It's the third house after this, bright red roof, couldn't miss it even if you wanted to. The main entrance is A, but the one you're looking for is just next to it. Have a great evening, Miss." The guard nodded his head and returned to his position.

Seth thanked both men and parked her car closer to the needed entrance, avoiding taking up any parking spots that might not have been meant for her to use. She didn't want to get herself into any trouble before getting a chance to prove how hardworking she was.

Grabbing the bag, Seth locked her car and headed for the said door. She rang the bell, yet no one answered the door, so she knocked on it, putting a bit of strength in her action.

The door was opened by a young, blonde woman in a maid's uniform. "Sorry, the doorbell is broken. My name is Marianna. How may I help you, Miss?" The woman smiled politely, throwing a glance over her shoulder here and there.

"Hello, my name is Seth; I arrived for the server job for the Alpha games. The elders' Council should be expecting my arrival." She introduced herself, extending her arm for a formal handshake.

The woman's eyes widened; she took a nearly painful overall look at Seth, mumbled something under her breath, and invited her to follow her. Of course, everyone had to be damn weirdos around there.

Seth wasn't there for more than ten minutes and most shifters already judged her. As they reached a library, the woman opened the door, announced Seth's arrival, and left the new server in the Council's hands.

She took a deep breath and stepped into the library. "Good evening, gentlemen. My name is Seth; I arrived for the server's job offer," she tried to sound confident, a permanent smile glued on her lips.

"Seth? The Seth Anton suggested we take in? The same Seth? But... You are a woman. A woman," one of the men tried to talk, yet his voice was strained. The man struggled to form as much as a decent sentence.

"In the flesh. Sorry, is there a problem?" She raised an eyebrow, wondering why the men kept staring at each other in pure shock. What was wrong with them?

She accepted the offer, traveled for hours, and now, they had a problem with her being a woman.

Her world and dreams nearly came crashing down as one of the Council members approached her, eyeing her suspiciously.

"You're a woman. Damn it; we didn't ask for a woman!"
