Chapter 2

Lena’s POV

Leah and I was in her car as she drive our way to the town mall. We just got the invitation to attend Richard’s birthday party and we have to shop for that. Our discussion on what happened in the school cafeteria today was smooth and never ending. It was a relieving sight.

“I mean she got what she wants, now she won’t think of messing with us Queens again.” Leah flipped her hair backward posing the powerful influential female type.

I laughed at her demeanor with an eye roll attached. “So there was this guy I met today before we go for lunch, I mean when I ran away from Trevor.” I decided to tell her about the ruby eyed mysterious looking hottie.

“Yeah what about him?” She asked in a tone urging me to continue.

“Well I don’t know much, I think he’s new and gosh he’s so hot.” I told her, remembering his face when we bumped into each other. How he cornered me into the wall and dominated me in an instant. A whole me Lena Hales getting dominated within seconds.

“Do you know his name?” She asked, taking few glances at me.

“He’s New, until he has make an appearance or introduce himself I don’t.” I replied, putting obvious emphasis on the New word.

Her car came to an halt at the designated spot for parking in straight wide lanes in front of the biggest and only mall in Willow Town. Stepping down simultaneously like the twin they call us we marched inside the mall and straight into the clothing section.

We began by picking several smart dresses and going to the dressing room to try them on. Leah picked a golden floral dress designed with crystals at the hem of the cloth in his right hand, and another Lacey black shining dress in her other hand, both pointed at me for me to make a chose for her to go try on.

“The floral looks way too girly so I’m picking the feminine power one,” I said referring my pick to be the black dress in her left hand.

She dashed into the dressing room while I continue battling with a perfect wear for me. I just couldn’t pick something since I came here and it’s getting late already.

Leah came back some minutes later looking so sexy and beautiful in the body fitted gown she wore, the lace in it brought out the glamor and all. She cat walked around for me to see her well in the dress, while I hailed relentlessly whistling at her beauty for pulling the dress off.

“I gotta go pee Babes,” she wheezed in distress, rushing back to the dressing room then she came out seconds later rushing out of the section to the toilet I can tell.

I continue searching for the perfect wear till my eyes sighted the gown wore by a mannequin. I called to one of the parading workers to help me get the dress off and packaged with the stuffs we’re buying. I have found the perfect dress for tonight’s party. The moment we leave this mall, we’re heading straight to the party not home.

I started to imagine how I’d look in the outfit, it was a Jean shiny trouser with a pink designed top and a crystal jammed jacket to roll with it, the top was crop top making the dress more beautiful and outstanding. I can’t wait to see the envy in Leah’s eyes when she sees what I later got for myself.

“Something weird just happened,” came a plain still voice that had me startled for a bit as I turn to see Leah’s face.

She had on an expression that doesn’t quite tell much about her feelings, but one could tell how shock and confused she’s by the way she’s staring plainly at me like someone who saw a twerking ghost.

“You can start by telling me what happened and not staring at me like a lost goat.” I move past her heading to where our things were and away from the set of mannequins.

“Will you believe me if I tell you I found my true mate or however it’s meant to be?” The crazy girl spoke from behind me, telling me one of her crazy theories for life.

Because it’s not possible to find a mate when you already have a mate; a true mate to be specific. You don’t get a mate twice.

“Yeah you wish, but you’re stuck with Luke forever baby girl, accept it.” I quickly told her, concluding her of whatever she’s about to say that backs up her crazy theory.

“I swear to God Lena I just met a ruby eyed guy at the hallway while coming from the toilet back here and he’s my mate.”

It was my turn to be shocked and confused. How could that same mysterious guy come to this mall where I happen to be shopping at, is he stalking me?

That aside, how the fuck is he mated to Leah when Leah already has a mate. Or is it possible Leah has two fated mates.

“Lena say something because I’m going crazy here.”

“Did you stop him? Did you talk to him? Are you sure he’s your mate?” I can’t help but asked, because at this point everything is becoming confusing. Never in the history of werewolves is a wolf said to have more than one fated mates, or I at least have never heard of it, and I don’t think it’s possible.

“Yes I stopped him, I said can he feel what I’m feeling. It’s a weird question because I don’t know if he’s a werewolf or human but he said yeah. And then before I call him mate he walked out. Lena I swear to God this boy is drop-dead gorgeous, he’s so freaking hot. I’m happy I have a second mate.” Talkative Leah was the one talking to me and soon I will regret why the moon goddess as to pair with her another mate that has my best friend in happy mode because he’s super hot.

“This talk is adjourned to later, we’re late for Richard’s party.”

******

This party was totally insane!

Club 99 was closed and reserved for Richard Price’s strictly-by-invitation birthday party. A big cheesy disco ball was spewing out dancing dots of lights, splashing glitter all over the floors and walls. Nevertheless, only strategic places were illuminated by the flashing pink and blue lights, a greater perimeter was left in dimly-lit murkiness which was probably full of people doing things that were reserved for dark and dingy areas.

In one corner, it seemed like Zara Beige was getting manhandled. I think that’s the only way to describe the clumsy movement of his hand under her shirt as he does something to her breasts that reminded me of a terrible summer I spent at my Aunt’s Dairy Farm in Texas milking cows. Oh well, Zara seemed to have been enjoying it.

At another corner, I saw Zachary and his friends at the bar laughing loudly and chatting over their glasses of whisky and vodka. I saw Collins pouring shots into Brian’s mouth. Brian, a lightweight who never learns his lesson each and every time he wakes up in a pool of his own puke. Someone is definitely going to be clinging to the rim of a toilet bowl soon; someone ironically named Brian.

My eyes dragged over to the final corner. I saw her. She’s with her boyfriend or her mate, Luke and her both were with their iPhones out, and of course. They’re squishing their faces together as they pose romantically in front of their screens. They’re probably taking their hundredth selfie tonight, Snapped, Instagrammed, Tik-Toked and had the hell hashtagged out of it. Or whatever they do with their pictures. The perks of being the cutest couple at school that everyone admired but secretly envied because they were the ultimate match and the perfect package. But then wasn’t she happy she just got mated to another guy I happened to have bumped into.

Roaming my eyes it landed on the door opened and I was left awestruck at the entrance of the same magnificent specimen.

He looked like he had just walked out of a “Sexiest Man Alive Magazine.” Cringe as hell but– fuck, he was so god-damned good-looking. And I’d be evil if I kept all the candid details to myself.

His lush jet-black hair was neat and flowing, groomed so carefully such that they deeply complimented his ruby eyes that were beautiful, orb-round and shone like two eternity crimson red jewels, yet they held a cold, hostile gleam etched in their glassy gaze, and it was almost bewitching.

His chiseled jawline was a bit downplayed by his neatly, bearded face and his lips sat gracefully on his face, which seemed like it was always, permanently scowled but in a tremendously attractive way. He was tall, rigidly fit and dazzled with flare in a dapper navy-blue button up shirt, a pair of Calvin Klein jeans and sneakers.

I wanted to go talk to him and have him tell me why he has been stalking me since we met, and I did. Oh no someone should stop me because I’m getting closer.

And his eyes just landed on me, a smirk immediately curling up his heart shaped lips. Just before I got to him my phone vibrated against my palm. I gave him a look before turning away and heading to the restroom direction instead.

I got there bringing the phone out and seeing the caller was my dad. “Hey dad, this isn’t the best time to call honestly, I’m in the middle of living my best life at a party.” I said the moment I picked the call, every where is so noisy and the phone’s speaker is glued to my ear so I would hear him a bit clearly when he responded.

“Come home Lena, something just happened, we just lost your mother.”
