Noah's Point of View
When Kristof and I arrived at the nightclub, we immediately found Lucas, the unmated Alpha of the Midnight Pack. His pack were situated in the city and ran the nightclub, among other businesses. I had heard that he was pretty hands-on with the nightclub.
"Welcome, Alpha Kristof, Beta Noah," said Lucas bowing.
"Are you here for personal, pack or kingdom business?"
"Personal, Alpha Lucas," Kristof replied.
"I was directed to your city to find my mate."
"May you find our next Queen soon and easily," he replied.
"Enjoy your time in my club."
With that, he went off to attend to business.
As usual, we were surrounded by many unmated female wolves hoping to attract an Alpha or Beta. There were even some human females staring at us with desire.
Neither Kristof nor myself were interested unless they were destined to be our true mates. I had already found mine, but she was human, and I wasn't entirely sure whether it would be an issue or not. It was one thing for my sister to mate with a human, but I was a Beta.
I also had the problem that my Alpha was also looking for his mate, and I didn't want to distract him or make him feel bad if I announced that I had met mine.
Kristof and I were heading to the VIP table when I felt this powerful pull from across the room. Zara had just walked into the nightclub, and I could feel her across the smoky, crowded dance floor.
It didn't matter that I couldn't see her in the darkened club, but I knew she was there, having just entered and by the front door. I could even smell her apple pie and cinnamon scent that was unique just for her. Even though it was a subtle aroma, it dominated all other smells.
After a while, I was able to spot Zara over on the left side of the dance floor. Watching her, I felt like a voyeur. Her self-confidence and assertiveness were a major turn-on.
She was with her flatmate, whose name was Aláine if I remember correctly. I had met her briefly when dropping Zara off one night. She was quiet and reserved, unlike Zara, but they complemented each other.
They both walked over to a table where my sister, Cassandra, was sitting with her mate Tyra. I hadn't even noticed they were here tonight, and I certainly hadn't known that Zara or her flatmate knew them.
Suddenly, I felt Kristof tense up, and I turned around to face him.
"What's up?" I asked.
"My mate!" he growled softly, "and human."
I looked at where Kristof was looking. It was towards Zara, Aláine, Cassandra and Tyra were. He could mean anyone in between, but I wasn't sure. I knew he didn't mean Zara because she was mine.
"Surely not the dark-skinned one in the red dress?" I said.
"I hope not because we have hooked up a couple of times."
More than a couple, but I wasn't going to tell Kristof, well, at least not yet. If I said that, he would know something was up for sure.
"Not her," he replied.
"Her friend?" I asked. "Well, that is fortuitous."
Kristof started moving towards them, and I knew there were quite a few humans in the club tonight. He was totally consumed with getting to his mate. Therefore, it was my job to ensure he didn't do anything that would identify us as anything other than human.
"Alpha. Wait," I said, as he was walking away.
"Alpha! Wait," I repeated a little louder. "The woman in the red dress; her name is Zara."
I went on to explain that she could be merely a way of introducing himself, "Her friend's name is Alàine if I remember correctly. She is quiet, not like her friend, Zara, and a lot more reserved."
He stopped. This was good.
"Caution, Kristof; there are many humans here. This is not our club, remember." I continued preferring to use his name instead of Alpha as we were now that much closer to the humans.
However, the pull from the mate bond was too much for Kristof, and all I could do was closely follow him.
"Shit!" I exclaimed under my breath.
Aláine's Point of View Fuck! Right this moment, my world was on shaky ground. It was all too much and I wanted to get out of the nightclub, and not necessarily with anyone else. I was determined not to be weak. I was not a crier. Not now or ever, and I would stick to that come hell or high water. "Damn! I am losing it," I sternly told myself. "Come on, damn it! Focus and get control!" Apart from being upset by Tyra's comments and confused by this man, I didn't like the feeling of not being in control. I also didn't like the oversexed, gorgeous hunk of a male who smelt like grass after the rain, whose light touch on my waist was sending a frisson down my body. Oh, who was I kidding? I needed to amend that thought. I just hated the feeling of not being in control. That oversexed, gorgeous hunk of a male who smelt like grass after the rain is exactly what I liked and really, really wanted. "I'm not going anywhere with you until you explain yourself," I threatened, trying to sound br
Aláine's Point of View I wished he wasn't so close to me; it was truly hard to focus. When he brought his face close to mine, I could feel his breath lightly on my face. I must have been blushing by now. I certainly felt like my face was as red as a beetroot. Shaking my head, I said, "That's no indication. Every woman in the club is probably attracted to you. You are a walking candy store of attraction." It was Kristof's turn to chuckle now, which was unnerving because he was so damn sexy. I ought to make a mental note that he certainly was a walking candy store, and I had a sugar craving. Again, I tried to shake my head to try and dispel the effect he was having on me. It wasn't working very well. Taking a deep breath and with a slightly audible quiver in my voice, I said to Kristof, "I am not going with you tonight. I have a life. Well... I have a part-time job and a pet, and that's my life. If you want me, take me on a date. We need to get to know each other first." Kristof
Cassandra's Point of View Tyra and I went clubbing as usual. This was our little nightclub where we met for the first time. We were sitting at a table close to the dance floor, hanging out with some friends. The nightclub had the added bonus of being owned by the Midnight Werewolf Pack. Not the same as my brother's pack, but one of the packs swearing allegiance to the Kingdom of the Grey Moon. "Speak of the Devil," I said under my breath. I could just make out my brother Noah and Alpha Kristof. I was proud that Noah was Alpha Kristof's Beta. They had just finished talking to Alpha Lucas, who owned the club and ran the city-based pack. "What was that?" responded Tyra. "I was just thinking of Noah, and who should I see?" I answered. Tyra smiled at me. "Oh shit! What is she doing here?" she exclaimed. "What's up, my love?" I asked. "I've just seen my cousin Aláine," answered Tyra. "She's here with Zara." "Is that the Zara who has been hooking up with Noah?" I asked, smiling.
Aláine's Point of View It was morning time all too soon, as I slowly opened my eyes and stretched. I was drained, bordering on exhausted, when I sat in the kitchen holding my first cup of coffee for the day. Every last detail I could remember from last night has been running through my mind, not to mention some highly erotic moments involving Kristof. They hadn't actually happened, but I wished they had. Damn, he was sexy, and there was no doubt that I was attracted to him. Who wouldn't be? So what did happen last night? Everything seemed surreal. This incredibly sexy, attractive specimen of manhood had walked into my life and said we were destined to be mated forever. To top it off, this was all determined by some obscure Moon Goddess. I was not a religious person whatsoever. Typically, my warning bells would be going off majorly, but for some strange reason, they weren't. Still sitting at the kitchen table, now nursing a lukewarm cup of coffee, I found my mind focusing back on
Zara's Point of View Aláine and I sat in her bedroom while she went through her wardrobe. Yay! My BFF was going on a date tonight, and I was absolutely thrilled for her. Aláine didn't go out much and didn't date anyone after the issues with her ex-boyfriend, Marc. She often turned guys down that I wouldn't have. Well, at least until I met Noah. Marc was an arsehole because she wouldn't sleep with him. Now she was going out with this gorgeous-looking guy, who was a werewolf. "I'm dating a werewolf," Aláine said incredulously. "I'm going on a date. Seriously, what the fuck am I doing?" "You will be fine," I replied. "Werewolf or not, Kristof seems like a nice guy. I know Noah is, so I am sure he is too." "But I don't date!" she exclaimed. "Hold on, are you nervous because he is a werewolf or because you are going on a date?" I asked. "Yes!" she said nervously. At this point, I was trying not to laugh at her. She really needed to get out more and realise that not every guy was li
Aláine's Point of View The next night, I looked at myself in the mirror from the front and side views. "Here I go again," I said to Zara, "dressing in clothes that are really out of my comfort zone and showing too much leg and chest." I turned and looked at Zara, "Maybe I should wear my usual jeans and see if that turns him off." "Don't you dare!" scolded Zara. "Every girl should have a little black dress. You look better in my clothes than I do. Good thing I'm your best friend, or I'd be very jealous of you." "I love you too, girlfriend," I replied. This little black dress is too short as far as I am concerned and shows far too much leg. "I'd never buy fabulous clothes like these," I answered. "Thank you for letting me use your wardrobe... again." There was a knock on the door, and Axel went wild, barking and jumping. Zara went downstairs and opened the door. "Your walking candy store is here, Aláine!" she called, laughing. I could hear Kristof's voice, although I couldn't he
Kristof's Point of View I noticed her body react after I hinted at sex. Not only did her eyes widen, but so did her pupils. My wolven aspects could smell her body's delicious reaction. As I sat back, I smiled, knowing I had succeeded in turning her on. Of course, my body also reacted, and I was glad the table cloth hid my hardening, and I will admit my somewhat prominent, bulge. Both my wolf and Lycan wanted to fuck her right here and now. My human side was battling them for dominance because it would be totally inappropriate to give in to that impulse in a crowded restaurant. My human side would have most likely given in if we were in private. "Excuse me, sir, if I may serve your dinner now?" The interruption by the waiter brought me back to reality. I needed to take a deep breath to control my anger at being disturbed by another male and turned to look up at the man. I simply nodded, not trusting myself to say anything. During the main course, conversation about the three werew
Aláine's Point of View The following morning arrived too soon. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I left to take Axel for a run. I had already fed Axel, but I would have my breakfast afterwards. Who wanted to run on a full stomach? I was tired for two reasons. The main one was because I sat up late talking with Zara about everything I had discovered about werewolves. Zara was also pleased that werewolves weren't the horrible scary monsters of the movies, although she was not sure of the Lycan aspect. She still wanted to continue seeing Noah, werewolf or not. "I wonder if Noah will find his mate like Kristof?" she said sadly, "then I guess we won't be hooking up." I shrugged and gave her a big hug. Since Zara hadn't seen anyone else since she had first had sex with him, I suspected that she had feelings for Noah and that their relationship was more than a hookup. Not that Zara would admit it to herself or to anyone else. That was so essentially Zara. At dinner last night, Kristof al
