Chapter 5 - Scent-1
1006 Words
Times like these make me rethink whether I like Layla's rebellious nature or not. Ethan's hands transformed into claws, and he raised his hand to strike Layla. I wanted to stop him, but I didn't know how. I am scared, but Layla and Matt are still standing without even flinching... {why do these stupids have to show courage in the most problematic situation?} ... He was about to hit her when he stopped suddenly. He raised his head and sniffed the air. Suddenly his whole demeanor changed, his elongated canines went back to normal, and the same happened with his claws. His all focus turned to something else, which I couldn't point out. His breaths became rapid, and I looked at Matt and Layla, who was looking at me with wild looks.
"What?" I asked them, and Matt took a step toward me, but Ethan growled as soon as he did that.
"Holy f**k, we can smell your scent, addy," Layla said, and at first, I got confused... {I just took a bath, dude}... but then my brain registered her statement. They can smell my scent when I have not even used the scent that mom gave me.
"You should go out, Ethan," I told him calmly. I knew that he rejected me and did not face any problem at that time because he was not attracted to my scent as I have none, but if they can smell me now or in other words, I have a scent, then it means that he will face problems in resisting me now.
He growled harder this time, "I am your mate."
I don't know what caused me to do it, but this statement made my blood boil. I gritted my teeth and took a few steps toward him. "I WAS YOUR MATE," I told him in a challenging voice. "STAY AWAY FROM ME," I shouted, and he stumbled backward. "I am going outside," I told Layla and matt and came out of the pack house and started taking deep breaths to calm the anger that was seeping into my veins.
{What the hell is happening in my life. Till tomorrow everything is alright. I was happy in my life, and then suddenly I killed a vampire and a werewolf, found my mate, got rejected, and now when I thought I would handle everything, suddenly out of the blue, my scent felt that it was the perfect time to appear.}
"Why can't my life be normal?" I asked no one in particular.
"There is no fun in being normal, b***h" Layla came towards me and threw her arm around my shoulders "now tell me, how come you have not told me that you have a scent," she asked me while sniffing a few creases appeared on her forehead, she came closer and again sniffed.
"That's strange. I bet I sniffed a particular scent of jasmine and pine" she is now sniffing me all over like a creep. Matt came near us, and for once, I thought he would help me, but he also started doing the same as Layla.
"Urgh," I pushed both of them far from me "stop acting like dogs," I told them, but they ignored me and continued sniffing me.
"We are not dogs," Layla said while sniffing me.
"We are wolves" matt completed her sentence, and now both are sniffing me again.
"Guys, stop, it's creepy" I tried to stop them.
"But how can you smell for a minute and then nothing, like it never happened," Layla asked me, finally stopping her sniffing game.
"That's not normal," Matt also agreed with her, and I rolled my eyes.
"Well, did you two find anything normal about me till today" Layla opened her mouth to say something, but I cut her off. "Don't talk anything about today. My whole day is spoiled, but I don't want the same with the night. We are going to human town, and today I am going to get wasted," I told them in finality, and both huffed in defeat... {I have every right to enjoy my birthday}
We went to human town in Matt's car, and he parked his car in a club's parking lot. When we went inside, I found the exact environment that I was expecting. Everything was so loud that I bet my brain would be unable to think about any shit... {exactly what I wanted} ... I was about to walk toward the bar when I remembered something and turned toward Layla and matt. Their faces were scrunched in disgust, and I felt so selfish... {They are werewolves, which means the sound that is loud to me would be deafening for them, and I am sure that they would be able to smell everything going on inside the club.}
"I should have bought a separate oxygen tank for myself," Layla mumbled in irritation.
"And some soundproof headphones also," Matt also mumbled.
I went towards the bar where a boy was preparing the drinks. "Hey, is there a place here that will be a little less loud?" I asked him politely.
"You can try our VIP section," he told me and got busy with his work. I nodded and went towards Layla and Matt, who were looking beyond irritated. I did not say anything to them. I took their hands in mine and dragged them with me to the VIP section. As soon as we entered, both of them took a deep breath.
"Better," I asked them.
"Yeah," both of them said in unison and went towards a black leather sofa placed there and practically slumped down on it.
"Well, that's very enthusiastic," I told them in sarcasm, and just like them, I also slumped down between them.
"Don't you think you have already had many adventures today?" Layla asked me, and I smacked her head... {I still can't believe she is my best friend}
"You are a b***h" I told her grumpily, and she kissed my cheek, which I wiped with the back of my hand.
