The Witch’s Regrets

A well deserved night out.

Natasha’s pov

It took Liliana two days to convince her mates to let them go out to a club for her birthday. But with her convincing them both she would cut them off. Ewww. They both eventually gave in. Killian agreed on the condition that three of his warriors had to be with them at all times. Lili huffed but agreed.

It was finally the night they were going out to the local club and they were getting ready in Lili’s room when there was a knock at the door.

“Come in,” Lili called out. Nat figured it would be one of the kids as she felt the familiar signatures, but she was surprised to find Penelope opening the door. The three girls squealed and all embraced each other happily.

“b***h! I’m upset with you, but I’m so happy to see you!” Penelope said as they finally pulled away from the hug.

Nat wanted to cry, she realized she had made herself a new family right here in this wolf pack. They loved and cared for her like she had never felt anywhere else. Penelope pulled back and looked at the outfit she was wearing.

“Girl you are looking good, but why are you wearing long sleeves? It’s like eighty degrees outside. It will be even hotter in the club,” Penelope asked her. Nat saw Liliana nudge her sister but Nat started to itch her forearm.

“I Um… it’s all I packed. It’s still cold in the UK at this time of year,” Natasha mumbled.

“Of course it is, there’s nothing wrong with what you are wearing. Penne you also forget that she’s a witch, she runs cold while we run hot,” Lili lied to her sister. Lili was a saint, Nat didn’t deserve her for a friend. Lili was the one person who knew what she hid under her clothes. Natasha never meant for her friend to find out, but one day Lili came over when Nat was getting out of the shower. Nat came out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel on, Lili was used to seeing people being n***d being a werewolf and immediately saw something wasn’t right.

“Oh I didn’t know that, I bet I learn that when I graduate med school,” Penelope said bringing Nat out of her dark memories.

“What are you talking about?“ Lili asked and then the two sisters went into detail about Penelope’s last bit of medical requirements. Nat finished up the girls makeup, as she was the best at it. Nat had to be, she spent hours on YouTube learning how to cover up the bruises.

The girls were finally ready and they came out of the room. Lili’s mates looked at her and growled.

“Penelope where’s your mate?” Lili asked.

“He couldn’t make it, he made me promise to send lots of pictures,” Penelope said with a wicked smirk.

“Eww virgin ears,” Nat said covering her ears. That wasn’t true, she actually had a relationship with a vampire while she was in college. She still talked to Vlad from time to time when she was feeling lonely. Nat hadn’t talked to him in awhile, not since he graduated and moved back to Moscow. Vlad texted her every now and then, but Nat was pretty sure there was something about people living in Russia gave her a phobia.

“All right girls let’s go, we still have an hour drive ahead of us,” Lili said. The girls started to head out of the pack house.

“An hour?” Nat said. Penelope laughed,

“Girl you forgot what it was like living in Illinois,” Penelope said.

The drive wasn’t so bad, they climbed into the giant tank Lili’s mates insisted they drive. Then Penelope pulled out something incredibly strong, it looked like everclear. The girls had fun swigging from the bottle, giggling like school girls, and catching up. They avoided anything heavy, and generally talked about life before life too messy.

The SUV pulled up to the club that Killian owned which allowed the girls to get out of the car, and walk past the line of people waiting to get in.

“Let’s dance!” Penelope yelled over the loud music.

“Let’s get some drinks first!” Liliana yelled back. The girls walked over to the bar and quickly got service. They all ordered some girly drinks then headed out to the dance floor.

The girls were dancing the night away ignoring the men that were coming to dance with them. Well Lili and Penelope were, no one had come up to Natasha. Natasha thinks it has something to do with being mated. There is this glows that radiates from both of the sisters. Not to mention the two girls are drop dead gorgeous. They took turns to get everyone drinks. Nat stopped drinking awhile ago. As a witch she was a lite weight. Nat was starting to feel the effects of the alcohol, and feeling the music she swayed her hips in time to the club music. Nat was finally starting to feel free for the first time in her life.

Suddenly she had a strong urge to pee.

“I have to go to the ladies!” Nat screamed to the girls.

“Want us to come with?” Lili asked and Nat shook her head. Nat pointed to one of the wolves who had been watching them all night. The girls nodded and continued dancing. Nat walked up to the table and one of the men stood up knowing he was needed. Nat was feeling the effects of the alcohol so he grabbed her, she took his hand and they walked to the bathroom.

Nat went into the stall in did her business, Nat didn’t notice when the girls cleared out as she was too busy dealing with her underwear. Nat heard the door open but didn’t think of it, she stood up and opened the door. The sight that greeted her had her terrified. Alexei.

“Natasha, please I don’t want to scare you. I just wanted to talk to you,” Alex tried for a calming voice. Nat was still scared,

“Why? You hate me.”

“Your my wick I could never hate you,” Alex said. Nat felt something wrapping around her. Soothing her.

“Are you performing magic on me?” Nat asked mad and scared. Alex look upset,

“No of course not. That’s the wick bond.” Nat wasn’t sure what she was supposed to believe. All she knew was that Alexei Patrovi terrified her. However, that was starting to fade.

“What are you doing here?”

“I was sent on another mission, and I came her to get drunk. I haven’t been able to think straight since I found my wick. I need her.” Nat’s brain was getting foggy,

“Come with me.” Alex held his hand out to her and she was about to take it when suddenly a pounding came out at the door.

“Ms. Volkov!” The door pounded again. “The Luna is looking for you.” Nat smiled,

“I’ll be out in a minute.” Nat tried moving past him, but he stopped her. For a terrified minute Nat thought he would teleport off with her.

“At least give me your number,” Alex said with a charming smile. Nat quickly rambled off her number then went back into the club.

Alexei pov

Son of a bitch

Son of a b***h! I just about had her. Dumb cow. Of course I was using a spell on her. Lex couldn’t believe Natasha was still so naive. Lex had watched her the whole night as she and those wolves danced seductively on the dance floor. Lex had been fighting an erection the whole night. He had been waiting for an opportunity to talk to her the whole night.

She actually believed the wick bond would fog her brain like that. Lex teleported back to his home where his buddies were waiting for him to see if his mission was successful.

Once he told his friends about being wicked to Natasha Volkov they first laughed at him. Then after beating them up and telling them His goals they were on board. Which was no big surprise, they were all greedy bastards like he was.

Alexei entered his penthouse and saw everyone sitting on his couch drinking his vodka. He quickly brought the vodka to him using his telekinesis.

“Some one is in a bad mood,” Anastasia said quietly looking at him like a steak.

“How about you freeloaders buy your own damn vodka for once?” Alexia asked.

“I see you returned alone,” Ivan commented. Ivan was the only one of his friends that had the balls to go against him. While he didn’t have the social connections like Alexei did, Ivan had the power. Alexei hated him for, just like he hated the Volkov’s. Ivan was the one that was able to track her magically and find out where she was tonight. Ivan didn’t do it for free of course. No this was Russia, nothing is free.

“Don’t worry Lex we will think of something else,” Igor said. Igor was actually one person he could call friend.

Alexei thought the same about Natasha once upon a time, but that was before the academy. Before Alexei learned what ambitions his parents had for him. Before he turned into this monster.

“Come on baby, let’s go to the bedroom and I’ll make you feel better,” Anastasia said. Alexei was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t even realize she walked up to him. Ana was nothing special to him, she slept with whomever she wanted and she did. Ana slept with every man in this room, but she always wanted him as Lex was the one with the most power. That’s what it was about. Power.

“Ivan I’m going to send you her number I want you to track it 24/7 understand?” Lex told him. Ivan nodded, and Alexei went into his room with Anastasia.

Authors note: Remember this is 5 years after Nat left the coven. Penelope should be just finishing up med school. Their time lines don’t match up. I briefly mentioned her mate without giving spoilers away. I didn’t want to leave Penelope out of the story as she is important character
