My Mate

Hope

The further away we got from our territory the more I dreaded coming out without Zayn. I had to talk myself down… what’s in the past is in the past. I am strong, I was born to take whatever comes my way.

We’re going to be fine Jenna said enjoy the night

The city was alive! The bright lights intriguing and the crowd inviting. I finally started to feel excited to be here among all the enthusiastic night life dwellers. As soon as the warrior driving parked our vehicle, the one next to him jumped out and scanned the surroundings before opening the door for me.

“Luna” He said bowing

One of the warriors walked beside me as we bypassed the long line waiting to get in the high – end club, the bouncer let us in as soon as he saw us. On the inside the club is exclusive state of the art and the mood was electrifying and I was happy to see that it wasn’t too tightly packed. As we made our way in we definitely turned a few heads, Amy had a table reserved for us at the VIP section. We make our way through and get comfortable. Our server comes over looking at us with interest

“Tequila shots for everyone except her” April points to Mandy who rubs her baby belly

“I’ll have a soda” Mandy says

“Sure thing” He nods with a smile

Almost as soon as he walked away I notice a table of guys sitting across the dance floor looking our way. One of them raises his glass when he sees me looking over. I ignore him and look away. Our server brings over our shots and places them on the table.

“Keep them coming” Emily says to him before Amy called out “Cheers” and we all clinked our glasses together and down our drinks. Poor Mandy looks upset

“Don’t worry Mandy after you’ve had your pup we’ll do this again” I said trying to cheer her up.

“Oh I’m fine this night is about you bride to be”

Just then two guys that were at the table come over one of them is the guy who raised his glass to me

“Ladies we noticed you were alone and would like to keep you company” The tall dark haired one says confidently. He reminds me of Zayn he’s tall and good looking but nowhere near as hot as Zayn.

“We don’t need company thank you” I said warning laced in my voice. He looks shocked at my response.

“Okay well if you change your mind we’re at that table over there” He points towards the table they were seated at before they came over.

Thirty minutes later we are all laughing and having a good time. They tried to get me to drink some more but one shot was enough for tonight. We talked about our mates about the honey moon about everything and anything.

“Have you guys noticed that none of the guys have tried calling?” I ask looking at Emily she shrugs her shoulders. Am I the only one that misses my mate? I ask myself

“It’s okay they know this is a special night” Amy answers me and gets up excitedly when she hears her favorite song

“Let’s go dance” She yells out and pulls me up, soon we’re all on the dance floor having the time of our lives.

I had one shot while the rest the girls had several. So, it’s pretty safe to say that Mandy and I are the only ones not intoxicated. But I don’t need alcohol to have fun. I felt carefree and relaxed the only thing missing was My Mate. I hope he’s having a good time. Today was a day for friends so I had promised myself that I wouldn’t try and reach out to him unless absolutely necessary.

We were all dancing and keeping to ourselves when I feel someone dancing behind me. I stop instantly and try to move away but he pulls me back making Jenna growl out

“A beautiful girl like you shouldn’t be dancing alone” His voice made my skin crawl “Come on dance with me” He grabs my arm

“No and get your hand off me” I move his hand away, images of Alex flash before me. I will never let another man violate me again I thought to myself. I turn away and walk over to Emily

“Let’s go please I don’t want to be out too late” The guy doesn’t give up and Emily notices my distress.

“Come on just a dance” I’m about to yank my hand away when I suddenly feel a chill run down my body. I smile knowingly

“That’s a girl” The poor guy thought I was smiling at him

“I knew you were playing hard to get” What a moron!

“Get your f*****g hands off her” Zayn’s deep voice seemed to bounce off the walls. He grabbed the guy by the collar and shoved him back. The guy got up angry and ready to advance but when he took a good look at Zayn’s build he mumbled a few words and left the club. Good riddance.

I wrapped my arms around Zayn’s shoulder so happy he’s here. “You left your bachelor party?” I asked him feeling all fuzzy

“Baby I was outside the whole time” He says tensed up

Zayn

I could never let her come to a place like this alone but I wanted her to have her bachelorette party with her friends. So Axel and I waited outside and I kept a close eye on her.

“I’m so happy you’re here” She says smiling at me making my mouth dry. I look at her eyes and Hunter relaxes

“So am I, come on I need a drink” I take my baby’s hand and walk over to the bar. I take a seat pull her in between my legs she stands between my legs facing me I let my eyes trail over her body and back to her face. I cannot wait to see her in her wedding dress….absolutely beautiful.

I see more pack members walk in, to see their mates I guess. Then Matt and Kyle come in. I guess I’m not the only one who crashed their night.

“Can we sleep in the penthouse tonight?”

“Baby sure we can stay where ever you want but I’m selling the penthouse”

“Why” She asked wide eyed her voice tearing through my heart. I didn’t want to tell her why

“And I sold the building next to the penthouse” She caught on pretty quick.

“You didn’t have to, I know how much you love that house” She wraps her arms around my waist.

“I don’t want you having to live that night ever again” I k**s her forehead happy that even though we’re in a night club we are in our little bubble just her and I.

I have my arms around her waist possessively so every other mother fucker here knows who she belongs to. She’s sipping her drink that I ordered her and watching her friends dance while I’m watching her. Suddenly I heard the most annoying voice call my name. I felt myself tense when Hope looked at her then back at me. I gripped her waist tighter.

“Zayn!”

“Hi” I said plainly because I had honestly forgotten her name. And because I didn’t want Hope chopping my balls off tonight. The only thing I remember about her is that she’s human, her father is a shareholder at one of my companies and she was an okay f**k. Now when I think about her or any other woman I feel myself get sick. Hope stays quiet I can see the anger in her eyes

Baby relax her father is a shareholder at one of my companies I mind linked her .

She puts her hand on my shoulder in an attempt to touch me but I quickly push her hand away

“Please don’t touch me I’m sure you’re not blind you can see I’m with someone you just disrespected her by touching me so just leave.” She looks shocked then walks away quickly mumbling something to herself.

“You can see I’m with someone?” Hope repeats what I said angrily. I have no idea what I did wrong but she’s angry and jealous. I try hard not to smile at her reaction because if I do she’ ll kick my a*s.

“Why didn’t you tell the human that we are engaged and that our wedding is tomorrow? and who is she anyway?”

Ah f**k. Can’t I ever get a break?

“Baby please she’s no one and I didn’t tell her well because… I don’t know it doesn’t matter”

“It matters to me” My little temptress growls out at me. So cute.

I wrap my arms around her she tries to push my hand away but I hold her tight and bring her closer to me she relaxes a little

“I hate the thought of you touching anyone but me” She surprises me by saying. I can’t blame her because I can’t stand another man merely looking her way let alone touch her.

“I hate the thought of anyone touching you too” I smile at her
