A content sigh escaped Peter Hale’s lips as his gorgeous blue eyes scanned the empty and now clean kitchen. He nodded his head in approval. “Looks good,” he muttered before he untied his apron and hung it up on the rung. He headed out of the kitchen and towards where his boss was doing some last minute paperwork. “Hey Saul, do you think I can grab by paycheck and head home?” Peter asked curiously as he approached the portly fellow. The owner of Bella Italia regarded Peter a moment. “That kitchen clean?” He asked. Peter nodded. “Spotless,” he confirmed before the man nodded and handed Peter his paycheck. “There you are, Peter. You’ve earned this, especially with you having stepped up this past week. Don’t think I didn’t notice,” he said with a small smile before he patted Peter on the back and went back to work.
The werewolf left the restaurant, feeling very much better than he had been previously. He had stepped up lately, but he wanted to make sure that everyone at the restaurant, including his boss knew that he was serious about his job and about cooking. It was nice for someone to finally notice, but it wasn’t necessary. Peter knew he was a hard worker and an excellent chef. Plus, with Derek around, the man would try to claim that he was the sole owner of the vault so Peter needed to start making his own money. That being said, he was doing excellent at his new job and he was really enjoying himself, having fun and making money, but he wasn’t sure if that was going to be good enough for now, especially since he was sure that past mistakes were going to stop by and bite him and the last thing he really wanted was for them to happen now and ruin what happiness he had. He was sure though, it would happen sooner rather than later.
Walking home, Peter Hale was enjoying the silence and the cool air of fall. Occasionally a car would drive by, but Peter enjoyed the silence that expanded around him, especially once he made it to the preserve, which was his short cut to his home, especially without a car since the man didn’t really need to use the main road, especially since he could easily wolf out and run home, if he so desired. Tonight, of course, he wanted to relax and enjoy his walk home, that is, until he heard a twig snap while he was inside the preserve. Eyes flashing bright blue was the first sign he was on edge, the deep growl that escaped his lips was the second sign. He looked around. ”Who’s there?” He snarled lowly, waiting for a reply.
