Lake house was as always blissful. This was mine and Cece's favourite place in the whole world while growing up. House in the middle of nowhere might be giving chills to the humans but for us it was the best place to be ourselves. With woods surrounding this place we could change into our woolfs and just ran for hours.
We unloaded our things on a terasse deck. Me and the guys began working on our bonfire while the girls prepared food for barbecue. After eating we swam for a little bit and by the time we finished it was time to prepare for the club.
Stephy was right as usual, she really knows what looks good on guys. She prepared for me dark jeans, with white V neck shirt and my leather jacket. It was a casual and comfortable look but with a bit edgy finish. I loved it that I could always depend on her.
Tony and Aaron matched my outfit, with tony going all black Aaron in lign jeans. But our girls wow, they looked gorgeous. Tina went with an emerald short dress hugging her baby bump closely. Nat wore white summer dress with a red flower pattern which made Aaron literally drool. Stephy wore black mini with sequins.
After about a thirty minutes drive we parked in front of a club, and entered the place. Stephy booked a VIP booth for us with comfortable couches and a little secluded from the rest of the partying crowd.
We started with a few shots and a bunch of toast. We laughed and talked for a bit and then Stephy dragged me to the dance floor. Place was filled with sweaty drunken humans. Few girls gave me seductive looks but I was less than interested. Stephy on the other hand took all the advantage of the effect she has on guys in the club. Let's face it werewolves tend to look better than normal humans, so she could have any guy in there she wanted.
I left her with her current flirt and headed to the bar. I ordered myself two more shots and downed them right away.
"You look like someone who's drowning his sorrows not having a birthday party." - Tony said joining me by the bar. I gave him a half smile.
"Is that so obvious?"
"Yeah, but it's your birthday after all, let's blow some candles, maybe your wish comes true."
"Don't tell me you brought a cake to the club, that's so cheesy." he gave me a smirk and whispered something to the bartender I couldn't quite catch because of the noise in this place. Bartender returned with a shot of burning liquor. And when I say burning I don't mean the taste. No, the glass was literally on fire. Tony handed it to me with a playful expression.
"Make a wish and bottoms up!" I thought about the thing I want the most, finding my mate, I blew the flame and drank the whole thing. It tasted awful like battery acid.
When the sensation of my face burning was gone I took a deep breath and then I sensed it. The most incredible smell in the whole world. Smell of home with freshly baked cookies. I looked around searching for the source of that smell and there she was. The most beautiful woman I've ever seen. My Mate.

According to the tests Dido's mother ran on us we will be the most fertile in the next five days. We spend that time with aunty Clara teaching us where we should look for a proper candidate and how to seduce him.
When the day of our mission arrived Mother gave us dresses who looked like they were made to make women uncomfortable. They showed too much of our skin and were too short, but according to Top Leaders such clothing should work in our favour.
We left our tribe in the early afternoon. We ran in our wolf forms through the woods for about sixty miles to the south from our village. When we finally came across town big enough we shifted back and put our dresses on.
Human town was… Amazing! I never thought that community can be so big. There were people everywhere. They were rushing in all the directions. And the cars… Wow, I would love to ride in one.
Aunty Clara told us that the best places to look for a man are bars and clubs where they mostly come in the late evening. We asked for those one of the women around our age and she gave us a few directions.
As the club was still closed we headed for the bar first. There were a group of werewolves there and they looked like strong candidates but I knew I could win in a fight with all of them. From the conversation they were having with Dido and Ell we learned that they are all warriors from the Pack in this area. Dido found one with brown hair and broad shoulders quite appealing and she went with him, to the place called the motel.
Me and Elara stayed in the bar for a while longer but didn't come across anyone interesting, so we decided to try our luck in the club.
Club was really, really crowded, I honestly didn't understand why people come to places like this where there is no personal space and the music's so loud that you have to scream if you want to be heard.
Elara found herself a healthy looking human with black hair. This wasn't ideal but he was more muscular than even some of the warriors we came across before and he was really tall. They disappeared together and I was left alone.
I looked through the crowd and something strange got my attention. A smell. Scent of sandalwood and forest after the rain, it felt like home. I looked for the source of it and I couldn't find it in the dancing crowd. I turned around to the bar and there stood two werewolves one with light brown hair and one blond. Both of them were suitable for my mission.
I started walking their way when dark haired said something to the blond one and disappeared in the crowd, leaving his friend alone, waiting for me.
When I approached him I could tell that this amazing smell was his scent, but at that time I didn't know what this meant.
