[Present Day]

[Year 2110. 14 Years later]

I was still fresh out of my heat, which had been another surprise episode.

To add to that, it had been unenjoyable, especially since I had not rented a heat partner in time.

I had been cooped up for so long and was feeling restless and hence the decision to go out.This was the last weekend before school officially started and being in my last and first year of university meant this was going to be my toughest year yet ,with little to no time to socialize. I wasn't a social butterfly. On the contrary, I just went out once in a blue moon to blow off steam.

It was going to be my first time physically attending a school, having been homeschooled all through primary and high school. I had taken online classes for the first three years of university but now felt ready enough to interact with everyone else my age. My parents were on board,more than excited about the new milestone in my life. My doctor had given the green light as well. The night would also serve as a celebration of how far I had come.

I had already dyed my hair black for the night, my blonde remaining hidden. Nights like these always required absolute discretion. I did not need anyone following me or figuring out who I was outside whichever club I went to. Tonight I was going to Eastside, a new nightclub that serviced some of the most elite celebrities, and tonight being the end of the month, it was one of the rare times during the year they gave everyone entry, unlike the normal exclusive attendes they had. It was the perfect place for me to spend the night.

Looking at my makeup, I was proud. I had not just done the tinted moisturizer and concealer look I normally did but my full makeup, foundation, contouring, winged eyeliner and my favourite, my red lipstick. I had added some blue contacts to hide my brown eyes as well. I styled my hair, which I had earlier dyed, curling it away from my face where it dropped behind my back in waves. I still had a bit of residue heat hormones and I wanted to look good tonight. I was not opposed to a bit of ogling from Alphas,betas,omegas or humans.

Checking through my closet, I pulled out a black satin dress that was backless and I was sure hugged every curve on my body,some red panties and bra, and a garter that I paired with some black fishnet stockings which would end just above the garter. I clipped the stockings into the garter and paired them with my thigh boots and looked in the mirror, loving how the complete look had turned out. I looked different but I loved it, just what I needed to finally feel comfortable in my skin. I picked out a black trench coat, especially since the nights in the city got colder at night.

My purse in hand, I passed through my bathroom, took the two pills that were my suppressants and also served to mask my scent.Leaving, I passed through my living room and saw the small notebook where I updated my daily activities. I was getting late but it was a necessity I wrote it.

Entry, K. 9.00 Pm

Went out clubbing.

That should do, I thought. I would fill in the rest of the details when I came back home.

Outside, I hailed a taxi, preferring not to take my car.

" Where to Miss?'' the elderly driver asked.

" Eastside,'' I replied, to which he nodded and drove off. The atmosphere was quiet till we reached the busy street outside the club where a long line had already formed.

I paid before bidding him goodnight and walked right to the entrance, by-passing everyone else on the line who were currently just staring at me. I could feel the hungry stares on my skin, a few growls here and there which I paid no mind to.

I had already read one of the bouncer's nametags by the time I made it close to him.

" Hello Ben, '' I said in my sultryest voice, which was enough for him to stop checking the other patrons' identifications.

" Hello, miss. Please go back to the back of the line,'' he replied politely, but his voice betrayed the hesistance in his voice. His scent was slowly getting thick and his pupils widening. Was that drool I was seeing? As expected, no one could refuse a pretty damsel.

Fake shivering while lowering my voice even more I edged him on, I had right him where I wanted.

"It's cold,'' I said while peaking beneath my eyelashes.

" Okay, ID?'' he asked this time, licking at his lips. I handed over my identification card and once he verified I was legal, he let me through.

I was twenty-four, way above legal.

Opening the door, he let me through and his gaze did not leave my eyes. I blew him a thankyou kiss before disappearing into the throng of bodies.

The club was in full swing. The beat of the music thrumming as hundreds of bodies danced on the floor, lost and intoxicated in the buzzing atmosphere. The energy was just right and I removed my coat and immersed myself in the crowd following the rhythm of the bodies.

Shortly after, I was thirsty, my throat dry from all the screaming I had taken part in. I pushed my way through the crowd to get some water from the counter as I never drank any alcoholic drinks as they would interfere with my medication.The bar was not as packed, most people on the dance floor gyranting to the music with their partners in tow.

I tapped my foot on the ground waiting for the bartender to notice me among the other patrons who were equally vying for his attention. I was surprised when someone slotted themselves right beside me, their scent being the first thing I noticed.

"Can I buy you a drink beautiful?'' a deep voice that washed over me causing a shiver to run down my spine asked, close enough for me to feel the hot breath of the person right on my skin.

'' Who said I was here for a drink?'' I asked, not bothering to give the person the satisfaction of seeing my face.

" What else would you be here for?" he replied, this time even closer, his wet tongue slightly grazing my ear lobe.

" The bartender,'' I replied this time, finally turning my face to meet a pair of golden eyes.

The man was hot, I could not deny it, and under the strobe lights of the club he looked downright sinful. I had seen my fair share of men, but couldn't deny this one was among the most handsome I had seen.

" I offer a better bargain,'' the man countered, his eyes glowing even brightly. Not one to let a good banter pass me, I indulged him. The bartender was still occupied by a group of young female omegas who he was entertaining.

" What could be better than free drinks and that face?'' I asked him, pausing to make sure I looked at the bartender longingly before looking back at him. He was cute, though not my type.

That did the trick as the man just huffed before laughing.

" Free drinks, this face, this body, a great dance partner and a good time after this if you are still interested. Something that pretty boy over there can't offer, '' he countered, still holding my gaze. I suddenly felt hot, not used to being under the full attention of an Alpha male outside a heat setting. I had picked up on his strong scent that was slowly overwhelming me. I could already imagine my suppressants fighting for their dear lives in my system against my over-excited hormones.

The moment was thankfully interrupted by the bar tender who asked what I would be having, smiling a bit too wide, while ignoring my company.

" A cold water, please,'' I requested, never one to forget my manners.

Picking a bottle from behind him, he handed it to me with a glass, but before he could speak,beside me, the man who had been quiet the whole time, slid his card to the bartender,

" It's on me. Plus everything else she wants.''

" It's on the house,'' the bartender replied while sliding the card back. I could not help but smile. Alpha males and their egos. The bill was barely five dollars, but one to enjoy a show I did not offer to settle it. Let them hash it out, I thought to myself while unscrewing the cap and pouring my drink, my thirst couldn't wait.

" I hope that is not all you are drinking?'' the man asked, and I realised the bartender had already left.

" Want to have me drunk not to realise that you have two left feet on you?" I asked, still entertained by our earlier banter. I was never one to dance with anyone, let alone leave with them for the night, but here I was entertaining the thought.

The Alpha's scent was getting thicker and I was beginning to feel fuzzy. A bit of dancing would clear my mind, I hoped. Going out still fresh out of my heat had been a bad decision and my suppressants were not helping as much, I was beginning to realise. I was affected, even feeling a bit of wetness between my legs.

" Let's get that dance,'' I shouted as I took his hand and dragged him to the dance floor in between the crowd of bodies. That was definitely the wrong thing to do as my skin sparked in awareness with the little contact we had made.

" Ready?'' the Alpha asked while smirking down at me.

I couldn't find my voice, just giving a shaky nod as he began moving our bodies to the hypnotizing beat of the song that was playing.Something was definitely wrong but I couldn't place it. He just smelled so good. All I wanted was to get closer, to rub up against him until that delicious scent sunk into my skin. It was like raw pine mixed with something spicy and everything about him, from his dark tousled hair to his soft soft lips and glowing eyes, had my inner wolf whining like I was still in heat.

We moved together like water, hips swaying and rolling to the music. With one hand, he cupped the nape of my neck and used the other to hold on to my lower back. The Alpha had not lied, he was good at dancing, more than good by my judgement. Especially in the way he would roll his body, entrancing and captivating like he was pulling you under his spell.His body felt so warm against mine, hot to the touch. I wanted nothing more than to close the remaining distance between us to be engulfed in his heat.

When his golden piercing eyes found mine, they trapped me completely and there was nothing more I wanted at that moment than to feel his lips on mine.

" I want to take you home,'' he whispered, his lips close to mine, not giving in to the urge to kiss me.

" Kiss me. I need to taste the goods first,'' I replied in a voice that was not mine. I never got this far with anyone. Never one for random hookups, sticking to rented heat partners during my heats. Something that was beyond my control was fueling me.

He closed the gap between us, pressing his lips to mine, gently at first, then more aggressively, digging a hand into my hair.

There was nothing polite or sweet about it. It was downright filthy, and I moaned right into his mouth as he took my bottom lip between his teeth momentarily. My chest was pressed into his, feeling all the hard ripped muscles that promised more.

We kissed until I was gasping for air, but still, I wanted to use my last breath to ask for another kiss. Dancing forgotten, we made out on the dance floor like no one else existed.

How we left the dance floor and made it to his room was a blur.

The last coherent thought that had passed through my mind as the Alpha licked and suckled at the throbbing source of my slick like it was the most delicious thing he had tasted after starving for days, was that he was really good at this. A far cry from my normal heat partners.

I shot up from my sleep feeling oddly cold. Had my air conditioning stopped working in the middle of the night? I wondered

It took a minute for me to realize that I wasn't somewhere I recognized. This certainly wasn't my house or my bed. I did not own silky sheets or the excessively fluffy pillow behind me.

It took another moment for me to realize there was an arm tossed over me that was not my own. Carefully, I moved the arm and moved over.I had slept with that stranger from last night.We had not even exchanged names.

A quick check determined that I was in fact naked. I felt sick.

I recalled certain portions of the night, but it was, for the most part, blurry and inconsistent.

As quietly and unobtrusively as I could manage, I slid out of his bed. I located my dress easily enough and after some searching I found my ripped stockings and coat. Carrying my boots, my purse clutched in my arms, I tiptoed out of the room. Taking a last look at the tanned limbs and messy hair sprawled out over the sheets one last time, I left.

I located the front door and, as quietly as possible, unlocked it and left the flat. Outside, I quickly wore my boots and dashed out.

I exhaled, heavily, beyond relieved that he hadn't woken up. That was not a conversation I ever wanted to have with him but one I needed to have with myself.

Tightening my coat around me, I braced myself for the cold night as I took my walk of shame on the deserted street. Once, at a safe distance, I hailed a cab.

Something had gone wrong last night and I needed to find out what had happened.
