Chapter 6

Nathan

We were now in one of the most popular clubs in Cabo San Lucas, we had been backpacking for most of the trip till Mexico City, then it was all luxury hotels and high society clubs and still, no matter which club or bar we entered, and the number of women threw themselves at me; I could only think about that girl with whom I shared a room with at the lodge we stayed at. The sparkle in her big brown eyes, her cute fair face, and pink lips. Her attitude and style were so different compared to what I was used to; she did not care about how I looked at her, in fact she made me feel shy for having a large dick! No girl had ever made me feel this way. The more different women tried their luck with me the more annoyed I became.

We were chilling at in the V.I.P lounge when a bar tender came up and thought it would be alright to sit on my lap, before her ass cheek could even touch my lap, I pushed her aside and growled at her

“Do not even fucking dare to try that with me”

 The little wretch scampered away, and I guess she passed the message on because none of her other skanky friends even looked me in the eye when they came to refill our drink.

“Still thinking about that cutey from the lodge?” Aaron asked and I shot him a glare; I did not care if he was my best friend and the soon-to-be-alpha of Blood Moon, that woman was mine, I shot back my tequila and held Aaron on his shoulder firmly.

“Bruh, you will talk about that “cutey” from the lodge with respect”

“Ease up man, I was just teasing you; besides, it isn’t like she is your mate or some shit like that”

“Sorry bro, it’s just… something about her. My wolf has been uneasy since the day she left, and he is adamant that she is our mate, all these women are insignificant compared to her”

“Look man, we came here to celebrate your birthday! You wanted backpacking and then partying it up in Mexico and hell we have done it; but bro after Nate after that night in Mexico City, you have been uninterested”

“Well, what the fuck would you like me to do about it Ron?!”

I roared and Aaron threw his hands up in the air and backed up; the club was still for a minute and then the vibe started up again, just then Dylan made his way up to us and slapped Aaron on his head.

“Nate” Dylan spoke calmly “I suggest we go looking for her, I am certain that she is not far from Mexico City, probably in the outskirts”

I was about to agree with Dylan when Ron spoke

“or probably right here”

And D and I looked in Ron’s direction, my jaw dropped to the ground; there at the entrance of the V.I.P lounge stood my mystery lady. She was even more beautiful than I remember, she wore a midnight blue suede dress that hugged her body so perfectly, those silver glitter heels just picked her sexy body up so perfectly, her long hair was straight and centred. She was the embodiment of perfection. My wolf was howling with glee “Mate!”

I was about to make my way up to her when another man stood behind her and she turned and smiled at him and they walked in his hand was on the middle of her back and she looked at me stunned but walked right by me as if I were not there; this did not settle well with me or my wolf, someone was about to die tonight, by the looks of it; the guy that had his hand on my mate. They sat in the booth behind us, I played around with my tequila shot and did not notice that D had gone missing until Ron asked me where he was and that my little mystery woman was sitting at her booth all alone. I took two shots of tequila and went around to her booth, to my surprise her date was missing.

“Well, which guy in their right mind would leave such a beautiful woman here all by herself?”

She looked at me unphased and then away again.

“Don’t recall where you know me from”

“I do, I just don’t understand why you are here; wasting your time here with me, when every other woman in here is lusting after you”

“darling, they are not you”

Her eyes widen at my words and she pulled away from the slight grip I had on her chin, she was exquisitely beautiful.

Zephyra

Charles had insisted we go out for my birthday since I would be leaving for South Africa in a few days, and I still had to get all the information about my parents from Olivia. I knew what she wanted me to do and that was seek revenge, but I found loopholes in her story… like why would they let her go, but execute her mate? And how did she manage to escape with me, not a single scar. Yes, werewolves can heal fast, but some battles do leave scars behind. On my right-hand wrist, I have three claw marks they do not bother me, and I generally use a watch or something to cover it up if I am going out. Whatever the case was regarding my birth and Olivia brining me here to Mexico, I would find out and take my revenge, and if the Alpha’s of Blood Moon did kill my parents; they will literally wish that I had never been born.

After about an hour of begging and bitching; I gave in to Charles; I did not even have a choice as to how I looked or what I would wear he had my look all picked out. While he did my hair; I could not help but think about Toni and his family, Olivia had exiled them and told them to leave the country and never to return, I was out handling some business down at the docks and when I tried to call them to say goodbye; Charles told me that their phones were taken, and they were dropped at the airport with money and passports. I wanted to rip Olivia apart, but I had to remain cool until I found out the truth… it would just be a matter of a few days.

Without a fuss, I put on my midnight blue suede dress that clung to my body and emphasised on my curves; I slipped into my glitter heels and had basic eyeliner, mascara, and red lipstick on, and Charles looked rather dashing with his dark brown hair all neat in a quiff, he wore ripped jeans with formal shoes and a black shirt.

“Charles, if you weren’t gay, I would not mind letting you get all up in here”

I teased.

“Girl, if I were straight… ain’t no way in hell I would not be all up in that!”

He joked back and we left for the club; we entered, and I got carried away by the most intoxicating smell; a mix of lemon and aromatic wood and slight ginger for that amazing spicy, I was right outside the V.I.P lounge when I saw him; our eyes locked and I knew who I was staring at, I could feel my wolf trying to breakdown the barrier between us and make us as one and she was more determined now that she believed this man was our mate. He was the same man from the lodge, and still as breath-takingly handsome as I remember; those perfect pink lips and high cheek bones and silky soft midnight black hair. I craved to have my fingers in his hair and slightly pull it as he kisses me and put me on the bar countertop, kissing me with those god damn soft pink lips. I snapped out of my thought when I felt Charles put his hand on my back and as my head turned to walk into the lounge, I heard a slight growl, and I knew he was looking and wanted Charles hands off me. I watched his dark brown eyes follow my every step towards him and then I walked past him as if he were non-existent; the look of rage and lust that filled his eyes turned me on and there was no return!

As Charles and I sat down in our booth; Charles suddenly excused himself from the table and was gone. We did not even order our first round of drinks; and he was on the prowl already. Then, I felt his presence and his intoxicating scent hit my nose before he even spoke and when I heard his deep husky voice, I felt my lower regions jump with excitement, but I had already made up my mind that I would be a stubborn hard ass bitch! I cannot deny, he was looking extremely sexy with his skinny black jeans, army black boots and a black V-neck t-shirt. His hair was slicked back, and it was doing all the right things for me, I just had to keep my cool.

“Well, which guy in their right mind would leave such a beautiful woman here all by herself?”

He spoke and I looked at him unphased and then away again.

“Don’t recall where you know me from”

He was trying his charm, how could someone who is supposedly my mate, not know what type of woman he was mated to. The moon goddess if there even is one must have made some huge mistake.

“I do, I just don’t understand why you are here; wasting your time with me, when every other woman in here is lusting after you”

“darling, they are not you”

Was his immediate reply and he had gently placed his hand on my chin, I could feel myself wanting to give in to his every touch; but that was just the hormones and the crave for having sex, I pulled away from the slight grip he had on my chin. I noticed his friend standing a little in the background and called him over. I looked at them both and smiled gently. I needed to get a little acquainted with them and since I was ditched by my bestie, I felt like tonight would be a good night to have company, although I would give my “mate” a run for his damn money.

“why don’t you guys join me till my friend decides to re-join me and your lost wolf finds you again, we can get to know each other a little bit, I mean we did spend twenty-four hours among each other, and I don’t know your names.”

I spoke directly to the friend.

“My name is Zephyra, your name is?”

And the friend I had called to the fore nodded and greeted back introducing himself as Aaron and I looked over at my “mate” and raised an eyebrow at him; he smirked and extended his hand forward and I extended mine to his, he turned it over and kissed the back of my hand.

“Nathan”

He replied and I felt the jolts of electricity tickle my senses and my soul felt as if it was set on fire, I pulled my hand away quickly and grabbed the attention of a handsome waiter and asked him for a round of tequila, the special kind and he flashed me a dashing smile, earning a growl from my “mate” and this made me smirk and I knew just how to get under his skin. This night was going to be rather interesting, Aaron then spoke up,

“I have an older sister and weirdly enough my parents also named her Zephyra, she should be around your age.”

“Wow, the odds; so, where is she?”

“We don’t know; she was taken from my parents when she was an infant, we still cling to the hope that she is still alive, and we will find her”

“Oh… I am sorry; I am sure she will find her way back to you guys” I assured him and smiled.

A few rounds of margaritas for me and bourbon for the guys and a couple more shots of tequila had us buzzing.

“sooooo, Z; where is your boyfriend?”

Nate asked and I was stunned

“What boyfriend bruh?”

“The one you came here with Z!”

“I came here with my friend, youuuuu assumed he was my boyfriend”

I giggled and held his bicep firmly as I looked into his eyes and got lost in those dreamy chocolate eyes and he held my hand and we leaned in for a kiss, just as his lips were inches from mine; I could feel his breath on my lips and Ron squealed

“OMG! D is GAY!”

I immediately pulled away from Nate and inhaled sharply and moved away slowly; I heard Nate growl lowly and then look in the same direction as Ron. I was sweating like a sinner in church; what the fuck was going on with me, I was not like this; I had to keep it together, getting into a relationship, mate of not would not go well with my plans, I had other things to focus on; a mission and a weakness during this kind of mission would prove dangerous for me and if I allow myself to fall in love with Nate. I put my head back in the game.
