**Amyra**
We were in the club already. Slow music was running behind, which was crushing the mood.
My friends were already here.
We were having drinks and I started to feel bore.
I couldn't believe it, Jeremy was here.
He met on my birthday, had wished me, and then I didn't see him later.
How did he find me?
He hugged me.
"Hey Jer, you are here?" my statement came out as a question.
His arms were tight around me, I struggled to release from his embrace.
He took a few minutes before leaving me.
I felt awkward.
He never did like this before.
"I missed you. Why are you not coming back to Orleans?" he asks scowling at me.
I eyed him confused.
"How did you find me?" I asked, he gave an expression that said it's obvious and he turned and pointed at my friends.
I gave him a small smile.
Suddenly the DJ announces "This song is dedicated to a beautiful lady in black dress Amyra Lloyd by a handsome Aaron Blake."
I didn't give attention to the announcement until I heard Aaron's name.
My name...full name sounded weird but I ignored it.
My eyes scanned the whole club for his glimpse until it landed on a man followed by the spotlight, walking in straight towards me.
My heart jumped with excitement. Just his presence makes my heart flutter.
I gulp.
He jumped from the stage and our eyes locked.
"Hello beautiful," he says, taking my hand and kissing my knuckles.
He takes me to the dance floor and music starts to play and other couples join us on the dance floor.
His touch makes my body shiver.
His eyes fixed on me makes my stomach fill with butterflies.
Music is sensual and our steps slowly start to sync.

**Aaron**
When I entered the club and the announcement was made, I could see her eyes lit up.
Her eyes widened when she saw me.
She was looking hot and sexy in that small dress.
When I took her to the dance floor.
DJ played the music I chose.
I love this song.
I held one hand on her waist and another in her hand.
I pulled her closer to me and crooked my face in her neck and inhaled her scent.
Her scent wakes all my senses alive and kicking.
My body was craving to feel hers.
My hand was moving all over her back.
At one time I lifted her swiftly holding her thighs, she was so lite.
Getting her down every nerve of my body was begging for her body.
Her eyes were intense blue.
I know what exactly they mean, they want.
I held her hands and left the dance floor.
I took her in the woods, pushing her back towards a tree.
Leaning in I tasted her lips, she withdrew immediately taking me by surprise.
"Who was that girl...your girlfriend?" she asked lifting her eyebrows and crossing her arms below her chest.
"Girlfriend?" I ask frowning, holding her waist
"Mm, Hm...and don't act as if you don't know what a girlfriend means."
"Of course not. I don't know who you are referring to" I say questioning her back. I don't know who she was referring to, but by her question, it seemed she was annoyed.
"Well the one you took in your car the other day when you came with Alex" she admonished.
"Who?...Nina?" I ask laughing.
I didn't want to waste this time by talking about Nina but she was getting irritated and jealous and I was loving this feeling. I don't want to end it early.
"She is beautiful isn't it?" I ask her gazing at her.
Her breaths very fast, I could sense it.
"She is a very good warrior of our pack," I say still looking at her.
I was enjoying her every expression.
"Just tell me...is she your girlfriend?" she asks again with her eyebrows knitted.
Someone clears the throat behind us and I turn to see Nina, Josh, and the other guy who I recognize as Jeremy. Alex comes behind them.
Nina's eyes are widened in surprise.
Shit! Were they eavesdropping on us?
"We have a situation...Rogues" Josh says.
"Again?" I ask him with a puzzled look.
"What are you doing here?" Alex asks Jeremy.
"I came here looking for Amyra" he answers back.
I look at Amyra, her eyes fixed on the other four.
I hate them at this point.
What timing?
Can't they wait for some more time?
Why won't I get time with Amyra?
Fuck them!
I walk towards Amyra "I need to leave now, but I will be back" I say squeezing her hands reassuring and I move my hands to cup her cheeks but I hear Josh clearing his throat once again, I remove my hands immediately.
Nina walks to me.
"Alpha, we need to leave now," she says looking at me and smiling.
Did she hear our talks?
She never smiled at me while at work.
I roll my eyes and bite my inner cheek.
I can't see her in her eyes.
"You didn't answer me?" Amyra asks glancing at me and Nina holding her hands on her hips.
"Amy..." Jeremy interrupts stepping towards her.
Her hands drop from her hips looking astonished.
I don't know why but I hate this boy.
"I want to talk to you," he says seeming nervous.
"What is it, Jer?"
"In private," he says.
"Talk here, everyone here is our own" Alex speaks on behalf of Amyra.
Amyra nods and agrees with Alex.
"Is it ok with you, if I confess in front of everyone?" he reconfirms with Amyra.
"What you want to confess?" she asks looking puzzled but nods again.
What does he want to confess now?
I stand there rubbing my hand on my forehead.
He takes two steps back from her.
He kneels on one leg taking her hand.
No...this...this is bad.
I have a very bad feeling about this.
"Jer, what are you doing?" asks Amyra looking completely shocked.
I gulp.
Standing there, I was a feeling like a fool.
I looked away.
"Amyra...I love you" says Jeremy.
