My Mate

Chapter 2

I park my jeep almost close to the house. It's so crowded up front and I can't risk my car being thrashed by those lousy teenagers.

I close the car and start heading over to the house. 

Gosh! I feel so ready for this party.

I'm wearing a jeans that have two huge holes by the knees. One will think that they have been torn out because of constant kneeling down but it's just the fashion. 

I'm also wearing a sand coloured polo shirt which has a small hand and now I'm starting to think it's a bad choice. 

I'm wearing my Nike Air zoom Pegasus, you know, those shoes are like the ticket to a first class heaven, if you don't have one, then you are done for.

I walk into the porch, fist bumping each and every dude that comes in my way. 

Some bow their head slightly in respect. 

Yes, there are many werewolves in this town, about eight to ten packs if I can remember but we are leaving to leave in harmony, but we are still very territorial as well. 

This is a human zone, so it doesn't belong to any pack. 

I can smell many wolves here, more that the humans actually, some from my pack and some from other packs as well.

"Hey" we keep on greeting each other over the loud music.

It's pretty much loud out here that you can't even hear to yourself think.

I walk inside the house. It's filled with many people as expected. 

I see that even the freshmen are also here. Of course they would be.

This party is supposed to cool off the tension building up in school, the test, the stress and all those s**t.

I am now I'm my second year and so far, we are almost through with the first semester. I can't wait to get through with my exams already, it's really taking a toll on me and my wolf.

"Hey buddy, come over here" someone calls out to me.

He is not from the same class as me, he is actually in his third year now. 

I think the whole school is here. Even the sorority chicks have come, just like Ralph said and talking of Ralph, I can see him settled in between two hot girls, both his hands on their shoulders while they both try to sit comfortably on his lap.

The party has started about an hour ago and as usual like the whole semester, I was late again because I had to finish some paper works that my father assigned to me. 

Sometimes I just wish I could say no to my dad but I am pretty scared of him. Even though I hate to admit it, but I still do.

I walk over to the couch that they are sitting on. 

Most of the guys that are sitting there are final years or, in their third years and they are all werewolves as well. 

Mostly Alphas and their Betas and some of their girls as well.

"Hey Ridge, glad to see you joining the party, have a sit" the guy who just called out to me says.

"Hey Roman, hey, Stacy" I say as I sit besides them.

I wave at the others as well. It seem pretty tedious for me to start calling them all by their names.

Roman is also an Alpha, he is from our neighboring pack, we even share a border. His father's and I are also good friends, so we know each other pretty well since childhood actually. 

But he is a year older than me. 

I know I am not a senior yet but they always make me hang out with them. 

Given that I am an Alpha and my father is a very influential werewolf around, having the most biggest pack around, it isn't a surprise that I was treated like royalty.

Oh I forgot. Stacy is Roman's mate, he found her about two years ago. She is in her last year of highschool. 

I'm not surprised that she is in this party though. She is his mate and he brings her wherever he goes. 

Werewolves are very protective of there mates and Alphas are the worst. 

I see that each and every single person sitting here is accompanied by a girl or two. 

The ones with a single lady are mostly their mates. 

I really do envy them but sure hope that I find mine soon. I've looked for her everywhere. I keep my eyes open in every pack gathering to see if she is present but it all came back null. 

I even tried to check at the neighboring packs during out annual meetings but still no result. 

I just hope that she is still alive. 

My biggest bet is that she is not of age to sense me. Werewolves usually sense their mates at the age of eighteen.

"Here's some shot" he hands me a cup.

I just stare at the cup, hesitant to collect it. 

It's not all types of alcohol that care my type.

"Come on man, it's your thing, you know, V" he says and winks at me.

That's how we used to call it in our gang. 

I collect the cup and take a sip. 

I choke the bitter taste down my throat, waiting for it to savour my system. 

Taking another sip, I place it on the table. 

I don't want to get drunk, at least not when I am having a paper tomorrow afternoon. 

It's suicidal to play with my grades, or I'll have my father to skin me to death for being a failure and as he says, 'An Alpha is the one who is the best at whatever he does'.

"Hello handsome guy" a girl greets and before I could even answer, she sits on my lap.

I am about to push her off when.

"This party is getting hella boring, why don't we all play truth or dare?" some dude asks.

"I'm in" the half naked sitting on my lap chimes in.

"I'm in" they all answer.

"Ahm, I think I'll pass" I say.

I don't think it's a good I idea for me to play this game. 

If it gets out of control, my wolf will burst out and I don't want to hurt this cleuless human girl sitting on my lap. 

I'm having a hard time controlling my libido these days and it's also taking a toll on me as well.

"Come on man, it's just a game, it's not like we are going to ask you to cut your d**k off" a guy says.

"Well, unless you wanna chicken out on all the fun" Roman says, smirking at me.

He's got his mate glued to his lap and he is teasing the life out of me. 

Ok, that's it.

"I'm in" I say.

"Yay" the girl says and wraps her arms around me.

I hate people clinging unto me like that.

"Ok, the rules are simple, someone ask you the truth you tell and if you are dared, you do what you are told and if you fail to oblige, ahhhn...let's see, what will be the consequences" the boy raises his head, as if thinking of the consequences.

"Drink the others pee"

"Ew, that's gross" Stacy says.

"But I'd gladly drink yours and all that comes with it" she coos to Roman, slightly grinding on his lap and I am suspecting he might have a hard on already right now.

"Ok then, how about take a cup of this drink" he says.

He brings forward a bottle whiskey but I suspect that it is mixed with something else.

"Fair enough" the girl in my lap says.

"Ok then, let's start from the...uhmm... left" he says, pointing to the other end of the chair.

Phew, thank goodness that I wasn't the one to start.

"Ok now, Logan, truth or dare?" he asks.

Logan raises his head, thinking of what to say.

"I'll go with Truth" he says.

"Ok, so have you ever had a crush on a teacher in your life?" he asks.

"What kind of silly question is this man?" Logan asks.

"Just answer" he argues.

He takes a deep breath and rubs the back of the girl sitting on his lap. 

I'm guessing she is his mate too by they way she is looking at him so passionately. 

He is the beta of some pack that I couldn't remember it's name right now because my head is so crowded.

"Uhmm, I once had a crush on our English teacher when we were in the tenth grade" he mutters.

"Oh my, holy crap, did you really hit on miss Stanley" almost everyone scream.

"Shhh, it was all in the past, now stop raising your voice before anyone hears" he whispers.

"But seriously, I still can't believe how you can even like that four eyed woman" Roman says.

"And she was disgusting as well, so classless, I would prefer to date a goat than to date her" another boy says, disgusted.

"Now it's enough, let's go on with the game already" Logan whines.

I have a feeling he is so embarrassed about admitting all of this in front of anyone.

"OK, Justin, you are next" the boy continues.

I still don't know his name and it seem like he is new here and he is human as well.

"Truth or dare?" he asks.

"Uhmm, I would choose dare of course, always a fan of those" he says.

"OK, let's see, Logan, you ask him this time" he says.

Logan adjusts himself before speaking.

"You should roam around the house with a pair of your babes underwear on your head" he says with a smirk on his face.

"No, no f*****g way, are you trying to get back at me for what just happened to you, bro, I ain't the one who asked you the question and you should have just chugged down a drink if you didn't want to do it" he protested.

Logan didn't answer him this time. 

It seems to me like he is still embarrassed and angry about his earlier confession.

I mean, everybody would if he knew who miss Stanley was but this was a story to be told another time.

"Just hand me over the damn drink 'cause there is no way I am going to put a girl's underwear on my head" he says.

He is handed over two cups of whiskey, for him and his babe but we don't usually let the girls drink, we always do it for them. 

So gentle manly huh?. 

He chugs down the two content and makes a disgusted face.

"Now, Nicholas, you're next" Justin says, still not over his hyped drinking.

"Yeah, I guess so" he says.

He is the shy one in the group.

"So, truth or dare?" Justin asks.

It's his turn to ask now.

"Truth" he says immediately.

"Why not dare?" his mate pouts.

"No, what if we are asked to do sometimes more hilarious than Justin's?" he asks.

"Oh, you're right" she says, finally agreeing with him.

"OK, since you have decided, let's get going then" he says, nuzzling his nose in her neck and taking in her scent.

"How many people have you ever kissed?" he asks.

Nicholas starts shifting on his seat uncomfortably.

"Babe, answer him" his mate says.

Whoa! This one is a bummer. 

Justin did that to put him in a very tight spot. 

He knows his history with women.

Even though he acts shy in front of people, he is the opposite of that when it comes to girls. He's your typical example of manwhore.

"Ahmm, I can't really count, they are many" he answers, nervously.

"But how did you..."

He closes her mouth with his, getting her words stick up in her mouth.

"So, that's not new, who's next?" the new boy asks.

Unfortunately, it is his turn.

"Ouch, I didn't think it was my turn already" he pouts.

"I'll be the one to ask" Logan chimes in.

"No, it's Nicholas turn to ask" he says.

"But as you can see, Nicky here is busy, so, I'll do the honours" he smirks at him.

"We are OK with it" I say.

"OK, truth or dare?" he asks, rubbing his hands together devilishly.

"Uhh Dare" he says.

Logan almost leaps from his seat.

"You should go to the toilet and dip your finger in it..."

"That's pretty easy, let's go then" he says, getting up immediately.

"Wait, I'm not finished" he says.

"What now?" he asks.

"And if you dip it in there, then you should kiss it" he adds.

"No, that's not possible, I could get some infection" he argues.

"You can't, you are just a scary little boy I see" he says.

He stands there, thinking about what to do. 

I can sense that he doesn't want to do that but at the same time, he doesn't want to lose to Logan.

"OK, let's go" he says.

The two of them head over to the frat house bathroom. 

I'm sensing someone is going to be in the hospital for a while but I can't wait to see how it all ends.

About ten minutes later, they both come back. 

The boy looks so green, I'm sure he is going to be sick.

"OK, let's continue, Billy here has done his work" Logan says, smirking at him.

The poor soul picks up the bottle of whiskey and chugs some down his throat.

"Roman, looks like you are next" I say.

"You know I'm ready for anything, so hit me" he says.

"OK, truth or dare?" Nicholas asks.

He is back from his make out session now.

"I'll go with truth" he says.

"When was your first kiss?" he asks.

OK, that's lame, I thought he was going to ask something more intimidating.

"Uhmm, that was in the third grade" he answers.

"That's so sick man, you just went and stole an innocent girl's first kiss" Justin says.

"But we both enjoyed it" he says, gaining a smack from his mate.

"Sorry dear, you know you are the best" he says and she blushes.

"OK, it's your turn Ridge, I know you are not going to disappoint me, right?" he asks.

I nod, feeling confident that he is the one who's going to ask me. He wouldn't ask me something that I couldn't do.

"OK, truth or dare?" he asks.

"Dare" I answer.

"OK, I dare you to kiss her, on the neck" he says.

Oh, he just betrayed me I see.

"No man, you know I can't" I say.

"Why not?, You gotta loosen up and enjoy yourself" he says.

OK, here goes.

The girl moves her hair to the other side, exposing her neck to me.

I slowly open my lips. 

I place my lips on her neck and just like that, my fangs start growing. 

I slowly start nibbling her neck and I immediately pull over, sweating profusely.

"Impressive man" he says, patting my shoulder.

Yeah, because he has no idea how how much he has put me through. 

But I'm glad that it is finally through.

"Now it's the girls turn" Justin says.

The girls continue their turn and then we repeat the same till we are all bored and then we move to other things.
