Alpha's Lycan Mate

Chapter 3 - The werewolf party

Maia's POV

There are lights everywhere. This party is so lit it's literally on fire. Like there's an actual fire at the center of the space in front of where I'm standing.

It's a bonfire, and it's super huge. Raging and rattling up into the air. Sparks keep flying high into the dark sky above. It's quite riveting actually. I guess this is how werewolves like to do it.

Music is blasting loud. The DJ is on an elevated wooden platform at the far right side, close to the woods. I can see his headgear reflecting in the revolving lights everywhere.

They've tied disco lights up on poles, and others on trees at the edge of the forest. The space is flooded with the fluorescence, and everyone is grooving to the sound of the beats.

I must say, this is quite exhilarating. I'm glad I didn't miss it.

I came with Alexa but she's gone off somewhere. Some of her other friends stole her from me. She said she'd be right back, but that was like half an hour ago. Either way, I'm kinda enjoying the solitude anyway.

Just watching the rave from the sidelines. You'd probably think I'm being weird, but really, I'm having the time of my life here. None of the parties I've attended were ever quite this wild. So for today, I'll mostly just watch everybody's fun.

I took Alexa home with me to show her off to my parents. By show her off I mean introduce her to them. Mom had been pestering me about making friends here in Locksbridge, and she was overjoyed to meet Alexa.

No wonder she and Dad had no problem allowing me to attend this night party. Although they still gave me a curfew.

But I think my parents have always trusted me. I don't think they ever worry about my safety, not really. They know that I'm extremely powerful, and with all the training Dad has offered me and my Lycan, he is confident that I'm quite capable of taking care of myself.

I like that. I like that they have confidence in me and my abilities.

I suddenly see Alexa walking up towards me and I quickly shake myself out of my thoughts.

"Where'd you run off to?" I smile at her, moving my body to the sound of the soothing music.

She smiles back. I can see the light from the bonfire reflecting off her glasses as she approaches me.

"Just some bad company," she says, "Are you having fun?"

"Having a blast."

"Oh great. I thought you might get bored since you said it's your first time partying with party animals like us," she says, scoffing slightly.

"Whose party is this anyway," I wonder.

"It's a birthday party for some wolf from Drownring pack," Alexa says.

"Wait... I thought these wolves here were all from your pack, the.. Riverden pack," I add.

"No, these kinds of parties don't really discriminate," Alexa says, "Every wolf in Locksbridge is allowed to attend, so we can mingle."

As Alexa and I continue chatting about werewolf party dynamics, the music playing in the stereo is so smooth, we can't help but groove to it.

People keep shouting at the top of their lungs in joy, and some very loudly letting the DJ know that they love him. It's insane out here, and the dance floor is full to the brim.

Ron's POV

I'm a little buzzed. I might have had a beer, or two, or three, I can't remember how many. I'm slow dancing with this girl I just met. She's so pretty, and her eyes... Good lord.

She told me her name was... Oh s**t, I forgot. It doesn't matter. I'll just call her beautiful.

"Hey, beautiful..." I start, but she suddenly lifts her index finger and uses it to cover my mouth.

"Shhhhh..." she hisses, lifting her other hand behind my back and pulling me closer to her. She's so smooth, I like her already.

"You wanna go over to that tree and make out?" She says, while her finger is still grazing my lips.

"Only if you insist," I answer, smiling broadly on the inside.

You're probably wondering how I get laid so easily, and with so little effort on my part. Well, I've kinda gotten used to it. I'm prominent around here, and every she-wolf kinda wants a piece of me, so to speak.

Everywhere I go, girls throw themselves at me left and right. I usually don't even need to seduce them, they end up seducing me. It's insane.

But, what I'm I to do, except love it?

Like the way I'm loving beautiful's passion here. We're calling her beautiful because I totally forgot her name. She's so hot, and her lips are so damn soft. f**k!

I have her pinned up against the tree, and her legs are all wrapped around my waist. Then suddenly, as we kiss, she starts unbuttoning my shirt, and dips her hand down to gracefully skim over my toned abs. I'm starting to feel like she wants a quickie, right here in the open.

Like, what the f**k?

Just then, as the heat is rising between us, and I'm actually starting to feel her, I suddenly catch a scent. It's faint, but I recognize it immediately.

It's the same exact one that I felt at campus earlier today.

It's here? At the party?

It's so weird. Just as I noticed it, it kind of thickens. I can smell it all over now. And it's calling me, pulling me again. What exactly is that?

Its fragrance is so distracting, I completely get off the wave of excitement I was just riding with beautiful here. And she notices it.

"What... What is it?" She says, staring into my face.

I sniff once, then twice.

Suddenly, I hear the music from the stereo stop playing. Everyone at the dance floor jeers loudly at the DJ for stopping it. Then a voice comes through the speakers.

"Breaking news... Breaking news everybody... We have a special guest with us here tonight..." The voice starts and pauses, getting the attention of the entire crowd of werewolves.

"And, of course, I speak of none other than the soon to be Alpha of Riverden pack... My best bud Ron Stanley..." he shouts that last part, and the entire crowd cheers loudly.

Just then, a bright spotlight suddenly descends down on me from above, illuminating me where I stand, with beautiful by my side. The light is so f*****g bright I can't see s**t.

"Give it up for Ron everybodyyyy...." the voice shouts, and so do all the werewolves cheer and applaud me.

I realize I have no option and so I lift my right hand and wave at them, just to make them all happy. Then I lose it.

"Get that f*****g light off me!... f**k!" I yell, trying to keep it cool, but obviously not.

The light instantly goes dark and the DJ resumes playing music. That motherfucker just blinded my eyes. I can't see anything for like five minutes straight.

When my vision resumes, the werewolves have all taken their attention off me and resumed their partying. I look around and beautiful is nowhere to be seen. She must have run off after the light hit us.

Then, I pick up that scent again. It's so fresh. So pleasing, that my wolf feels like it wants to come out of me.

Okay, this time I'm determined to find out what it is. So I pick it up, stay on it, and start walking forward. The huge bonfire is burning brightly on my left side, and the wolves everywhere are dancing and having their fun.

I keep following the scent, and the closer I get, the stronger the aura around it gets. I can now sense it so intimately it feels like I know it. Like I've always known it. And yet I've never felt it before today.

Is that crazy? That sounds crazy.

As I walk, I look up ahead and suddenly catch a glimpse of a goddess. She is the most stunning being I have ever laid eyes on.

And I know that because I'm not just seeing her with my eyes, I can feel her presence with every sense in my body. And so can my wolf, Odin.

I feel him raging in my head. Restless and super excited.

It's her. She is the one making Odin go nuts.

I keep staring as I walk up towards her and it's like she also senses me there, because she stops dancing and turns around to face me.

She's wearing a black jacket, and I can see her long beautiful hair falling all around her shoulders.

Who is she?

Even as I ask myself that stupid question, the answer keeps lingering back and forth in my head. I know it, I just can't bring myself to admit it. I can't believe this is happening.

Mate.
