***Pawz, one of the newest additions to the country’s club scene was buzzing. The club, which was hard to get into, could hold up to five hundred people but still managed to feel intimate. It boasted of a restaurant, a café, and three dance floors which had enough space where everyone could dance away all their troubles. Pawz had a stellar reputation for top-notch local and international DJs who dished out scintillating sounds. Packed full with people, amazing music, and pure fun, Pawz was not only the hottest party spot every night of the week, but it was also the perfect environment for a dose of dancing way into the night.In the club’s sophisticated wonderland of VIP space, about eleven sexy hunks and a foxy lady whose outfit was hands-down the hottest and slinkiest in the club sat drinking and enjoying the good music that the DJ was dishing out. If they noticed the lustful glances being thrown their way by both females and males, they gave no indication. It was obvious that they

***“Fair enough.” Philip nodded. “As you said, Sylver is just a baby. So we have years ahead of us. When he’s old enough to pick a mate, he will definitely come and find you. We toe the line of humans so that will probably be in the next twenty-one years…”“Don’t you mean eighteen?” Gaia muttered.“In some cultures, it’s thirty,” Jeremy growled, making Philip, Stan, and Paige burst into laughter.“I believe it’s up to Enzo and Sylver,” Aurora said, trying to suppress her smile.“Well, for now, you can forget about him,” Jeremy stated.“I’m sorry but I can’t do that,” Enzo growled, a scowl marring his handsome face. “In as much as you’re the child’s father, I am the one he’s to spend the rest of his life with so...”“The fuck did you just say to me?” Jeremy bellowed, startling everyone.“Shush, son,” Aurora whispered. She clearly didn’t want her son to make Jeremy angry. They’d heard enough to know that it wasn’t a good idea.“No mother, I need to say my piece.” Enzo got to his feet a

***“So where’s Jeremy?” Gloria asked quietly.“Ryan had to whisk him away,” Philip responded.“Alright, can I have a chat with you, Enzo?” Gloria smiled and then gestured at a door in the conference room.“Sure.” Enzo stood with Sylver in his arms and followed Gloria into an inner room even as the people who remained in the conference room finally began to converse.“So you actually told my son you wanted to take his son,” Gloria said with a chuckle as she took a seat on a plush couch.“Well, I meant I was going to take him for a day or two.” Enzo sighed. “Your son didn’t even allow me to complete my sentence. Of course, I know that no parent will be comfortable with their kid going away for a few days but…”“Try with a complete stranger,” Gloria muttered.“I wouldn’t harm him,” Enzo said. “I just…” He let out a deep breath.“I understand you. But put yourself in the shoes of the parents.” Gloria said softly. “Of course they know you wouldn’t harm Sylver. I mean Ryan did whisk my son

***“I owe your mate big.” Philip breathed. “But for him, I definitely wouldn’t be planning my mating ceremony right now. We’d have been in the middle of a war.”“Yeah, he did save the day didn’t he?” Jeremy chuckled.“And it’s clear that he actually likes Enzo,” Philip said. “I think you should make an effort to get to know him. Our ceremony is a fine opportunity to do that, Jer.” Philip said quietly. “He’s part of the family now, anyway. It’s about time we started treating him like one.”“Aright, alright invite him.” Jeremy groaned. “It’s your party.”“It sure is.”“Ryan will be happy.” Jeremy couldn’t hide his smile.“I know he will.” Philip beamed.***Troy threw his head back and drummed his fingers on the dining table. He was tired. He’d spent the day helping some of his mates complete their assessment courses which were due for submission. He therefore had a lot to cover before his paper the next day. He was sure the anxiety he felt was due to the fact that it was his first pap

***The energy in the brightly lit indoor arena of the Stanwood Pack was like never before. There were at least four thousand people in the arena which could easily accommodate ten thousand people. It was indeed a special day for the pack. Their alpha was finally having his mating ceremony. The pack had been looking forward to the ceremony for months. Every member of the pack, except for babies and toddlers who wouldn’t be comfortable with all the excited noise, was present. Before the revision of the ceremony, only wolves from age twenty-one going up were allowed to attend a mating ceremony.But since the x-rated parts had been taken out, every pack member could be part. Not only was every alpha present, there were invited guests from other packs and also, other supernatural beings. The dancing, drinking, and merry-making had begun in the morning when the group who had attended the Bachelor Soiree at Quain Islands got to the pack-house. Everyone was therefore already in the festive m
