Taming the Stubborn Luna

CLUB TIME

DANIELLA

"Ahw baby, you're here?" Patton exclaims upon setting his eyes on me. "Come here baby, you look so stunning!" He adds as he opens his arms ready to hug me.

As I walk into them, I blush involuntarily. My knees always become weak whenever he refers to me as 'baby'. He makes me feel young, just like a real baby!

Patton and I hug and kiss and when he seems to have been satisfied, he let's go of me and then leads me to the the couch where he was initially seated and then leaves to go and bring me something to drink.

As usual, I scan my eyes through his house and I'm surprised to notice that he has changed the interior decor and the couches we are seated on are different from the ones I saw here last Friday. This human guy is really swimming in money.

A few other details have been changed and the place looks quite different from how I left it when last I was here.

"Amused, yeah?" Patton's voice makes me to snap out of my thoughts and back to reality. He has definitely caught me scrutinising his place.

I swallow hard as I lean back on the seat. Touching my head carelessly, I speak for the first time since I got here. "Yeah." I nod in agreement. "I wonder how much money you have at your disposal to waste it on this expensive furniture and decor." I air my views.

Patton who's already smiling takes a seat next to me after placing the bottle of wine and two glasses in front of us.

"What are you waiting for? I've been asking for your hand in marriage but you've been adamant. You'd be enjoying all these baby girl!" He concludes, crossing his hand round my waist and tickling me, making me to blush involuntarily.

"But I am still in high school!" I say to him, my eyes almost drooping in want. His hands has a way of making me lose focus.

"I know right." He muses. "However, you're only a few days away from graduation. Maybe you'd consider moving in immediately you graduate." His eyes are on me, looking as sexy as ever. He has a way of convincing me to do whatever he demands of me.

"Hell no!" I almost jump up in resistance. "There are procedures, you know? Don't rush me please."

"Take me to your parents and I will do whatever they ask of me. If it's money, I'll spoil them with it until they submit to me and address me as their 'king'." Patton says proudly, making me to shake my head for lack of a better thing to do.

Does this man know my parents? Oh.... I've never told him about them and the fact that my father is an influential Alpha while mom is his most famous Luna. How would he know anyway, yet he doesn't believe in the existence of the werewolves?

"You don't even allow me to escort you home." He sighs after a long silence. "You always like being dropped at the mall and being picked up at the same place. Am I not up to your standards?" He asks, eyeing me pleadingly and I momentarily feel a tinge of pity on him. Either way, I'm not blowing my cover because he will definitely not believe me or I might end up scaring him away or calling me names like 'superstitious'.

"I'll take you to my home soon dear, don't worry." I assure him and he just nods in understanding.

"Okay then baby, here is your favourite wine." Patton says as he pours some into our glasses which I have noticed are different from those I'm used to. I stare in amazement.

"Surprised, huh?"

"Y-y-yeah." I reply in a murmur. "You never cease to amaze me, Patt." I say, addressing him in his name's short form, something I love doing most of the time.

"That's Patton for you, Ella. Full of surprises!" He brags proudly. "Let's toast to long life and happiness." He says as he hands one of the glasses to me and I take it from his hand gladly.

"To happiness and long life." I say as I raise my glass to meet his in a toast. I wish he knows who I am and that I am waiting for my fated mate to get married to him and disappear into thin air!

I take a sip into my drink and smile in satisfaction. This is what I love most about Patton. He has just the perfect taste for good things. He really knows how to keep me coming to his place for more since my parents do not allow me to drink. They said that can only happen when I hit eighteen. They don't even know that I started drinking long before I hit seventeen!

As we sip into our wine and chat, some sweet aroma from Patton's kitchen hits my nostrils, making me to pause sipping temporarily so as to take it in. "Don't tell me Austin is around!" I muse excitedly, just like the under eighteen that I am.

"Yes he is here. Making your favourite food, as usual." He replies with a broad smile.

"Wow!" I grin sheepishly. "You really know the way to my heart babe." I say as my stomach let's out an embarrassing growl.

"I know right." He smiles as he rubs his palms over my belly. "The best way to your heart is through your stomach, baby."

"Isn't it supposed to be the other way round?" I ask while grinning sheepishly.

"Do you even know how to cut onions?" Patton asks while laughing out loudly, almost splitting my eardrums. He has surely gotten me there!

"I'm still learning, you know?" I defend myself. "Soon enough, I'll be preparing the most delicious meals for you my love." I say to him and he smiles in satisfaction.

"Come here." Patton says as he opens his arms for me and I willing get into them. He gives me a kiss here and there and then looks down at me, his eyes shining in lust and pure want. "How about going to the bedroom and I'll give you better food than what you're anticipating!" He adss, making me to smile sheepishly.

"Mmh." I nod in agreement. After all, that's what I am here for and if I don't submit, I won't be getting the promised ten thousand dollars from him.

Patton stands up from the couch and as he extends his hand to help me up, my eyes travel to his pants and my grin widens upon seeing his huge bulge. He must have really missed me. I pray he never gets to know about my other affairs because he will do away with me without a second thought and I'll end up losing all the benefits I usually get from him!

I remember there's a time he gifted me a car but I turned him down since I didn't know what to tell my parents the moment they see me with a brand new and expensive car. He tried to reason with me and get to know the reason why I turned his gift down but I gave him a hell of flimsy excuses about my strict parents and overprotective siblings. I glad he never pushed it any further!

As for his other gifts, I accept whole heartedly and I always share some to Jessica my friend and my brother. My parents always think that the gifts are bought with the money they occasionally give to me.

Patton and I have fun in his bedroom for over an hour and there afterwards, having being exhausted and worn out, we head to the bathroom to freshen up and after were through, we dress up and head to the living room and and then to the dinning table where Austin the chef is waiting for us, ready with our food.

We settle on our seats in the dining table and after serving ourselves with the portions we need, we eat to our fill and thereafter sip some fruit wine.

"I think we should head to the club." Patton suggests. Darkness is slowly creeping in and I haven't been able to communicate with my driver and maids therefore I drop them a message asking them to keep themselves busy until I contact them to take me home later.

I think they're used to all these because none of them replies. I turn to Patton and nod in agreement, giving him a go ahead to take me wherever he wishes to.

We walk outside and after boarding his car, he exits out of the parking lot and then takes the highway off towards town.

"So, where are we heading to?" I ask him while smiling at him.

"There's this new club in town and I'd like to try it tonight." Patton explains, his attention still focused on the road ahead. "I've heard people saying that it's CEO is a weird person and he always carries himself around with a lot of authority and he reeks of power." He adds.

"Wow!" I exclaim. "Tell me more." I say, too much eager to know more about the so called club. I hope he isn't talking about a certain club in town which is owned by Irongate Pack's Alpha. I hear the owner is an retired alpha's son and he's the Pack's current Alpha. It's rumoured that he's still searching for his mate....well, good luck to him!

"Rumours spread by superstitious people say that he is a werewolf but I always dismiss those rumour as just mere superstitions and lies. I believe that he's just a normal human being just as myself, the only difference is that he's arrogant and a bully."

Patton goes on and on with his assumptions and narratives about werewolves but all I do is to nod and pretend that we are together but in real sense, I'm itching to burst the bubble and tell him that he has been screwing a werewolf for the past eight months!

"Here we are!" Patton exclaims as he drive right into the club's vast parking lot. There are bouncers and security guards all-over and when they spot us driving in, one of them approaches us and starts directing Patton, showing him where to park.

His strong werewolf scent hits my nostrils and I gulp inwardly, hoping he won't recognise me walking around with a human guy.

Patton thanks him and as we climb down from the car, the werewolf guard bows in front of me and I just ignore him, making Patton to c***k some laughter.

"He's being dramatic, isn't he?" He observes as he intertwines his elbow with mine and then leads me into the club.

"I think he is just being respectful." I reply, hoping he won't realise that I am the one that security guy was bowing in respect of.

I ignore the rest of his comments and we both get into the club, and the further we walk towards the VIP lounge, the more I perceive the scents of fellow werewolves and it gets stronger each passing moment!

We settle on an empty couch in the VIP lounge and since there's a waiter on standby, we make our orders and he leaves. Damn! He's also a werewolf!

Our drinks are brought without any further drama and within one hour, I've already gulped down a whole bottle of rosé wine.

Patton on the other side is sipping onto his whisky on the rocks as we chat and have fun in general.

Tonight, I'm getting a weird feeling which is settling at the pit of my stomach whenever I see any werewolf in the club.

What if someone recognises me and blows my cover? What if they scare Patton away? What if....

The what ifs are more than anyone can imagine and that alone gives me a mixture of emotions. In fact, my bowel loosens and I keep on heading to the washrooms to ease myself.

For the first three trips, Patton ensures to accompany me to the washrooms but since he's already drunk, I decide to make the fourth trip all alone but not before excusing myself from him.

One thing about humans is that they become highly intoxicated after taking a few sips from their alcoholic drinks, unlike us werewolves who can drink and drink for hours on end before losing our guards!

In the ladies' washrooms, I find other ladies who are busy relieving themselves while others are redoing their make up but I just walk ahead and enter into one of the cubicles to ease myself. I'm glad all of them are humans and none of them recognises or bothers to look my way! That's a good sign, you know?

After I'm done doing my business, I walk to the sink while straightening my mini dress and upon washing my hands, I smile at one of the ladies who's smiling at me through the mirror and without wasting time, I walk out of the washroom and immediately I take the corridor leading me inside the club, I bump into a hard body, something which makes me to reel backwards and I'm in the verge of falling down but before I hit the concrete floor, I'm caught and I immediately regain my balance.

"Watch where you are going to, lady!" The deep baritone voice which sound like music in my ears warns me.

I look up slowly to get to know the owner of that deep voice and immediately our eyes meet, my wolf Adrianne stirs at the back of my head excitedly and the word 'mate' continuously escapes from my subconscious.

"Mate?" I find myself uttering loudly, but the guy standing in front of me who I know quite well just grins and then walks away without any other word!
