Don’t go near that building anymore, he spoke up, his roaming hands coming to a stop on my waist and his face morphed into worry. I put my hand over his jaw and furrowed my eyebrows, confused by his demand.
Why ? Calix is gone, I questioned. He pulled me against him and kissed my forehead, releasing a small sigh through his nose.
Please, just stay away from it, he replied, making me lean back to stare up at him. His face was full of seriousness and I nodded in response, wrapping my arms around his body and laying my head over his collar.
He hugged me back, the two of us standing under the water and holding each other in silence.
?
I don’t know if she should, Axel won’t like that, Blaine blocked his mate from approaching me with his arm and she rolled her eyes.
I can’t leave her out, she looked at him, waving the bottles in her hands, do I have to remind you that we throw parties on full moons ? It’s just a little drink, he will live.
She pushed past his arm and handed me the smaller bottle, drink up, girl ! Axel will be here after he finishes up in his office, she said, stepping aside as Gabbie came strolling up in a beautiful white sequined dress.
Ah ! I’m literally so excited. This is your first full moon here ! She squealed, engulfing me in a hug and I felt the dress ride up my legs a bit. As soon as she let me go, I adjusted it and felt my face redden at the attention she drew onto us.
I can’t believe Axel let her wear that, he knows better than anyone about how many unmated males there are roaming around at these parties. It’s worse they’re intoxicated, Danny commented.
The girls shared a look, well, he actually doesn’t know what we chose for her… Whitney mumbled and Gabbie rubbed her neck, smiling nervously at the floor.
But it’s okay, he can fight ! Gabbie raised her head and grinned wider.
Yeah, and she smells like him, so they’d know better, Whitney added, shrugging it off and taking a drink of the bottle in her hands. I looked down at mine and opened it with slight struggle.
And you’re trying to get her plastered ! These are made for werewolves, not humans ! What’s the excuse for that ? Blaine scowled. She took the bottle away from her lips and shook her head at him, handing the bottle to Gabbie who began chugging it.
Let loose, babe, you’re causing scene, she giggled. I scanned the room only to see many people staring at the five of us and discomfort filled me.
Attempting to look natural, I lifted the bottle and drank it, but after a few gulps, I held it out and scrunched my face in disgust with a shudder. Everyone around me was wide eyed and I just stood there, handing the nasty drink back to Whitney.
Thanks, but that’s gross, I frowned and she took it back slowly.
Uh… how are you feeling ? Blaine asked hesitantly. I almost didn’t hear his question because I was so focused on trying to clear my hastily blurring vision.
Dude, she’s already gone, Danny laughed. I looked up at him, squinting.
What is this feeling ? What’s happening to me ? What did I do ?
Did they poison me ?
I’m not covering for you this time ! Blaine snatched the bottle from his mate and she appeared horrified. His gaze then shifted behind her and his face paled, actually, I’ll cover for you ! Why don’t we go and- he shut himself up as a familiar woman joined into our group, skipping around to Blaine and throwing her arms around his neck, grinning at everyone.
Hey, little bro ! What are you guys talking about ? And who are they ? She narrowed her eyes at me and Whitney.
I’ve told you countless times, Gracie, he growled, shoving her off of him and she smashed into Danny who let out a tiny shriek and brushed himself off as though she was an insect crawling over him.
Wait ! Isn’t she the girl you were touching up ? Our Luna, I think ? She pointed at me and created a few onlookers from some of the people next to us. They analyzed me after hearing her words and I felt lightheaded.
Woah, his eyes snapped to Whitney’s, I did not touch her up ! He squeaked in defense.
Is that true ? Gabbie looked at me.
I blinked.
That sounded like a whole lot of gibberish in just mere seconds.
What is happening ?
Are they speaking English ?
I don’t feel too good.
It’s getting worse.
She asked you a question, don’t be so rude, Gracie scoffed.
I groaned, rubbing my face and scanning the room again. Everything was spinning worse than before and I turned, taking a few wobbly steps away and leaning against the wall with my back to the crowd.
She’s not okay, someone said behind me, then I felt a hand touch my shoulder and I lifted my gaze to see Danny frowning at me, you might want to throw it up, Angel. It’s only going to get worse.
Woo ! Yeah ! Throw it up, baby ! A random man threw himself into our conversation, nudging an unamused Danny in the side, she ain’t got a lot, but she got enough, am I right ? She’s sexy enough it don’t matter.
Watch what you say to her, man. I made a similar mistake and nearly got my throat ripped out, he replied in warning, but the man laughed like he just heard a joke.
Is she your girl ? My bad, he grinned, his eyes scanning me over and I groaned again, closing my eyes thinking it’d help. It only made me dizzier.
No, she’s-
I reopened my eyes with a gasp when my body was pulled into a warm, hard chest. At first, I panicked and fought the man, until I felt tingles and recognized his scent.
Wow, these feel… really good.
She’s with me. Now, what were you saying ?
