CHAPTER 16
We got ready. Cassy let me do her makeup and she borrowed a dress from me. One I told her to keep when I saw that it looked better on her. I couldn’t wear it now when it clearly had her name written on it.
Me, I put on a black mini dress with spaghetti straps and black heels.
We got in the car and Cassy drove of. I started drawing circles with my hand on my stomach.
“Are you okay?” She asked and glanced down on my hand.
“I’m just a little queasy, maybe this isn’t a good idea,” I said and shrunk in the seat.
For some reason I had this weird feeling about leaving the pack. Something was up but I couldn’t put my finger on what it was.
“Here we are,” she said and parked the car. She looked at me warily and smiled softly.
“We don’t have to, we can go home if you want.” I shook my head and opened the door.
“No, let’s do this,” I had never been clubbing and i wanted to go at least once before i gained my wolf.
The club was lit up with a blue neon sign and an arrow pointing down to the entrance. There was a guard outside checking id’s and we took ours out.
I showed my ID and he handed it back to me while shaking his head.
“Sorry, this a twenty and over club,” I looked at Cassy who placed her hand on the mans arm.
“She’s fine,” she said and I saw her eyes glowing as her wolf stepped forward. My eyes widened, we weren’t allowed to show what we were and defenitely not allowed to show our wolves. The man nodded his head and pulled the rope away, letting us in.
She grinned and spoke in my ear as we walked inside the nightclub.
“He’s one of us,” she said. That made sense but why was he a guard outside a nightclub?
The entire club was foggy, the lights lit up in different colors in sync with the music.
People were dancing, rubbing their bodies together on the dance floor and drinking at the bar.
You couldn’t even hear yourself think over the music. This was perfect.
Cassy dragged me over to the bar and ordered us two shots and one drink each.
We cheered and chugged it all down in a minute.

CHAPTER 16
We ordered more drinks and more shots. It took a lot for a werewolf to feel anything, even when your didn’t have your wolf yet.
We chugged three more shots and two drinks before taking a beat.
“So, truthfully, now that you have a little liquor in your system, how do you really feel about being married?” She asked as we sat by the bar.
“What do you want me to answer in order for you to stop asking me?” I said and tilted my head to the side with a raised brow.
“The truth,”
“One more round please!” I screamed to the bartender who refilled our shot glasses.
“I’m married,” I said and drank a shot….
“It’s a done deal,” I said and drank another. I lifted the third shot and smiled.
“Nothing I feel or say will change that.” I said and drowned the last shot. Cassy shook her head. She pouted her lips and lifted her shot glass, she shot me over her second one and I lifted it.
“Cheers, let’s make it better than it is,” she said and I stopped for a second to think about what she
had said.
“Cheers to that,” I said and we chugged the shots!
We went out on the dance floor and it was safe to say that we danced our hearts out. We danced as though no one was watching and everything in the world was exactly as it should, we were in the moment and it felt amazing. This was the first time, from what I could remember, that I had genuine fun with a real friend. Someone who wasn’t just using me. Cassy genuinely wanted to show me a good time.
“Woho!” She shouted and tossed her arms up in the air. I laughed and I could feel my eyes sparkling as I looked at her closing her eyes and tossing her head back..
Cassy’s eyes opened quickly and her lips made on O’shape as she bumped into someone.
“I’m sorry-” she said but then stoped, gazing into the eyes of the handsome stranger who had caught.
her attention.
“No problem at all,” he said with a glint in his eye and a smile on his lips.
“Can I dance with you?” He asked her softly. Cas* looked over her shoulder and glanced at me.
I nodded my head with a wide smile.
“Sure,” She wrapped here hands around his neck and started moving her hips. His hands were on her waist and lowered an inch as she began moving toward him. I looked away, feeling like things were about to happen that I shouldn’t stare at.

CHAPTER 16
~Aiden’s POV,
We were in the car, heading back home. Sam was in my lap, writhing and kissing my neck. All the while I had this weird feeling in my gut. It started at the party, we were having a blast but something felt off.
We reached the house and I was dropped off. The others went back to their places and Sam headed
home as well.
I walked into the pack house and in search for my parents.
“Honey, you’re back. How was the party?” my mom asked an
smiled as she put down the book she
was reading.
“It was good, how has everything been here?” I asked and looked around. That wasn’t the question I wanted to ask but it was the one I went with. What I really wanted to know was where the f8ck Gabriella was because all I could smell was the faintest hint of her, which meant that wasn’t here.
“It’s been good,” she said and raised her head. My mother knew what answers I wanted. I rose and brow and pushed my chest out.
“Where is she?” I asked in a monotone voice.
“Gabriella went to a club in the neighboring town with her friend.” She said and awaited my reaction. My jaw clicked and I ground my teeth together.
“You let her leave the pack?”
“She’s your wife, not your prisoner.” She said and narrowed her eyes.
“*uck.” I turned around and stormed out of the house.
I got in the car and the engine roared to life. I pressed down on the gass and the car flew down the driveway and toward the borders.
The music was blasting and everyone was pressing their bodies together as they danced. How the f*ck wa I supposed to find her here?
I leaned my hands on the rail and looked down over the dance floor. I closed my eyes and tried to smell her.
When I opened them up again, there she was, dancing on the floor, with a guy standing behind her. I saw as she swayed her hips, her eyes were closed and her hands reached up toward the roof.
My wolf stepped forth and my claws extended as made my way downstairs.
He was pressing his body against her back. His hands caressed and graced her and she was smiling, laughing with her eyes closed as she danced closer to him.
My chest rumbled as I growled and I walked faster. I had tunnel vision, the only thing I could see

CHAPTER 16
amongst all the bodies and flashing lights was him, touching her.
I grabbed his shoulder and pulled back. He was human so it didn’t take much to have him fi and landing on the floor. I heard Gabby’s gasp and people were turning around and watching with eyes. She stood with widened eyes and stared between me and the guy who was on the floor.
“She’s mine.” I growled and the guy flew up on his feet and walked toward me.
“Wanna bet?” He said and raised his fist..
it still. I s
I raised my hand, curling my fingers around his and holding the shock that covered his face and the twinkle of fear in his eyes.
“Already made one of those, don’t need another one.” I said and twisted his arm til I heard a crack and
he screamed.
“Aiden!” Her hand came down on my arm. Her small, delicate hand, her touch somehow making my whole body tense and then relax as though all the burdens had been lifted.
What the f*ck was this?
“We’re leaving.” I said and grabbed her hand, pulling her after me through the club.
“Wait-Cassy!” She screamed and turned around.
“Leave her.”
“No, let go of my hand!”
“Let go of me, Aiden!” I could barely hear her, the only thing on my mind was how badly I wanted to turn around and kill that f*cker. I had let him of easy with a broken arm. He touched her.
“I SAID NO!” Her voice boomed loudly over the music. I stopped and turned around. She pulled her hand free and glared at me, a fierce fire in those eyes, lighting them up even more. Her cheeks were flustered and she was heaving.
“I’m not leaving without her.” She seethed and just as I and say
as about to open my i something that would’ve surely made me sound like a d*ck, Cassy came running up to us.
“Hi,” She said and looked at me. How much had they had to drink? They were both tipsy, werewolves didn’t get affected by alcohol easily.
“Let’s go.” I said.
