CHAPTER 3

Katarina Pov

A pair of dark brown eyes were staring at me. I couldn't take my eyes off him. He was at the opposite side of the VIP section and it was dark. I tried to use my werewolf senses to observe him. I could see he is a werewolf too but not an ordinary one. I could feel the power radiating from him. It was choking. I bet he's an Alpha. I couldn't make out his face though. 

I took my eyes off him and concentrated on having fun. I joined Maddie to dance and sing when we got tired of dancing. I am already tipsy and was giggling at everything. My wolf had calmed down so I could enjoy myself. This was what I needed after stressing the whole week. I became dizzy and sat down. After drinking a bottle of water I became pressed and stood up to go to the toilet. 

"Maddie," I call her. She turns to look at me.

"I'm going to the toilet. Are you coming?" I ask.

"No I'm good," she answers. I give her an okay sign and go to the toilet. Luckily it's not crowded. I easily did my business and came out. On my way to my table, I saw someone standing by the corner. It was Mr beautiful brown eyes. I giggled to myself once I called him by that name. I tried to check him out while passing by but I guess I was too obvious because he held my wrist and stopped me. He sniffed the air and licked his lips.

"Can you let go of me mister," I ask rudely. I tried to remove my wrists from his hands but he wasn't bulging.

"You're a werewolf yes?" He asks. I could understand his confusion. I'm a latent wolf and can't fully transform so most times people get confused when they feel the power radiating from me. It's not my fault though. It's my wolf trying to assert dominance over lesser wolves. But as of this moment, she's very calm. 

"Yes I am and why are you asking?" I replied rolling my eyes. He draws me closer to him and takes a sniff of my scent and groans. As of this moment, I don't know if it was in ecstasy or pain but what I do know is my wolf loved the sound. She stood up and started panting in my head.

"You're single, right? There's no mark of a male on you," he said scanning her neck. 

"Yes," I replied again.

"Good. Go to your table I'll be there in a minute," he said and pushed me in the direction of my table. I reach my table and sit down.

"What happened," Maddie asks. She looked at my face and immediately knew something was wrong somewhere. 

"Nothing happened I guess I'm just getting drunk."

"You're not just getting drunk, you're drunk already," she says laughing. Technically she's correct but my weird interaction with Mr beautiful brown eyes got me feeling a little bit high-headed. I shake my head and tried not to think about him anymore.

Zach comes to our table and frowns when he sees how drunk Maddie is.

"Maddie," he calls her.

"Yes, my love" she sings to him. It was a very funny scene but there is no way I'd laugh when he's not pleased and looking at me for an explanation.

"Don't look at me Zach. I tried stopping her but she refused". Zach looked at our table and saw the number of shots we had taken with a disapproving face. He takes a bottle of water and gives her to drink.

"I feel like throwing up Zach," Maddie says after drinking the water. He picks her up bridal style and takes her to the toilet. I watch how attentive he is toward her and I feel a pang in my chest. Mr beautiful brown eyes immediately come to my mind. 

As if he could hear my thoughts he showed up immediately after I thought about him. 

"Where's your friend?" He asked as soon as he got to my table. 

"She left with her mate. Why? Are you interested in her?" I ask him. 

"No I'm not but I am interested in miss's rude mouth here," he says.

"Sorry but she's not available," I replied. I guess my reply was not the best thing to say to him because he growled immediately after I said I wasn't available. He bends down and brings his face very close to me.

"Do you have another? But you're not marked yet," he says to himself.

"No I'm not marked but I'm not interested either," I said. I could hear my wolf whining in my head. What the hell is wrong with her? This is the first time she's wanting a male.

"Okay I can work with that," he said quietly. He uses his thumb to wipe away little beads of moisture on my lips and then stands up. Isn't he going to ask me for a dance?

"Dance with me," I said standing up immediately. My head felt heavy and I could see myself falling but he caught me right in time. 

"You're drunk," he said. Wrapping his arms around my waist he drags me closer to him.

"Thank you for noticing," I said and started grinding my hips on him. He was stiff for a second before allowing me to continue. I don't know what was pushing me to create more physical contact with him but I found myself wrapping my arms around his neck. He's a mountain of a man I observed. He's 6'4 in height and is in great shape. I could feel his strong torso and pack as I moved slowly with him. Good thing the song playing is no longer hip-pop. 

I became thirsty again and took the last shot of the mind eraser. Damn it was really strong. I don't have a high tolerance for alcohol and I knew I would be having a very strong hangover the next morning. 

"That's enough drinking from you," he said and took me a little bit away from the table. I felt something poking me and from the dent in his trousers, I could tell what it was. As the song ended I unwrapped my arms from his neck and tried to move away but he didn't bulge. He looked straight into my eyes like he was trying to find something. I am getting turned on by his stare. What is he doing to me? I tried to move away again but couldn't. It felt right being in his arms. 

He brings his face closer to me, licks his lips, and whispers "Mine" while still staring at me. The minute I opened my mouth to reply to him, I felt his lips take advantage of me. He kissed me softly. I try to protest by not responding but my body has a mind of its own and before I knew it I was kissing him back. His lips were soft and I couldn't help but suck on them. At that moment I forgot about Maddie and Zach and just wanted to keep kissing this hot stranger. He groaned into my mouth before letting go of my lips. I couldn't see my face but I knew my lips were looking rosy and full from the kiss. I was turned on. I heard him take a deep breath and his eyes started changing color. 

"Come with me," he whispers to my ears.
