INDIGO'S POV
~I hate that I had to go to this stupid party. If Evan wasn't the one who asked me, I wouldn't be here. But here I am, all because he thought he could finally find his mate. I don't know how he expects to do that spending all of our time outside. Though at least out here the music doesn't make me feel as if my eardrums will burst.~
"Indy come on! Can you stop sulking?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up at Evan.
"Have you found your mate yet?"
"No, but it's weird. It's like I can sense her somewhere close, but I can't smell anything over all the beer, sex, and puke."
"Then why are we still here?"
"Because I wanted to meet some chicks and go out and do something! You barely leave your apartment unless it is for school."
"Did it ever occur to you that I like it that way?"
"Whatever," Evan drank from his beer, prowling the local scene. "Oooo...look, some girls are coming over our way!"
I glanced over, and Evan was right. They were beautiful no doubt. One of them was pale in complexion, and had dark purple hair. She adorned herself with piercings on her ears, nose, and lip. She wore a tight, strapless, black cocktail dress. You could see every curve of her body, from her big chest and hips, to her slightly smaller waist. Her friend next to her was almost the exact opposite. She was dark skinned with a curly brown afro. Wearing a flowy blush pink gown.
"Hello ladies," Evan stepped forward and held out his hand, giving them both a small kiss on their knuckles. "My name is Evan, who might you two beauties be?"
They both chuckled to each other. The dark skinned woman leaned into her friend's ear and whispered 'Hot and sweet. I always wondered what it would be like to sleep with a white, redheaded man.' Evan licked his lips, clearly liking the attention way too much.
"I'm Kristen," The purple haired woman spoke, she twisted her hair staring directly at me."And my friend here is Myra. It's nice to meet both of you."
Kristen then stepped forward until we were only inches apart. I could see the lust emanating from her eyes.
"What about you handsome? What's your name?"
"Indigo."
"Really? I like it...your name matches the color of your eyes." Kristen began to stroke my hand which shot up unpleasant chills up my spine.
~Ok, that's it. I need to get out of here.~
I stepped back away from Kristen and tapped Evan's shoulder.
"Hey, Evan. I got to go."
"Really?" I could tell he sounded disappointed. "Well I can't force you to stay, I'll talk to you later buddy."
Evan turned back to Kristen and Myra, giving them his full charm. I started to head to the front when I ran into a group of my pack, standing close to an empty patio table.
"Hey Indigo!" One of the pack member's shouted, "It's been a while since we've seen you!" The men cheered as they greeted me with hugs and pats on the back.
"It's good to see you to, guys."
"Hey when are you going to visit the pack? You know the Luna misses her son."
"Soon, I promise." I stayed a bit longer than I was planning, but it was nice catching up with the pack. My head jerked as something in the air catched my attention. It was a scent, almost hard to make out against anything else. It then started to get closer, I took a deep breath in. The smell was captivating and sweet.
~Lilies...I smell lilies and honey.~
I turned my head towards the scent, and to my disbelief standing there was a woman. She was gorgeous, and my wolf began to stir.
-Mate...that's her. That's our mate.-
I felt as my wolf danced around my head, excited that we finally found her. I couldn't help but stare, her porcelain white skin almost appeared to be glowing underneath the patio lights. Her long, jet black hair was flowing down her shoulders, waist, and hips. She turned toward me, our eyes locking. She had the most beautiful set of silver eyes I had ever seen. I couldn't help but stare her up and down, my heart racing in excitement as I saw what she was wearing.
Seeing her thighs peek out that slender black dress, and her breasts exposed like that made me want to tear it off. I saw her body purr and I could smell her lust, which caused me to let out a low growl. I wanted to take her right then and there, run my lips over her neck and then trail it down to her breasts. I wanted to swirl my tongue around her nipples and then taste every inch of her body. But then she shook her head and looked away, I could no longer smell her desire in the air.
~Does she not want me?~
-She's our mate! Of course she wants us!-
I tried to walk towards her, but I couldn't move. I felt my heart beat against my chest.
~What if she rejects us?~
-She won't! Come on! We've waited for her for five years! Go to her!-
I took in her scent once more, just her smell wanted me to be near her. But the captivatingly sweet smell could not mask what she was.
~She smells human.~
-So what if she is human? She is our mate!-
~I don't care that she is human. I'm just concerned because it also means she might not feel the mating pull as strong as we do.~
-She'll feel it, I know she will!-
I looked away, and went back to talking to the rest of my pack. Though it was very difficult not to look at her from time to time. My heart sank as I noticed that her friend left and she was sitting all alone.
~I should go talk to her. I waited since I was eighteen years old to find my mate, I'm not going to let her go now. Please help me moon goddess.~
I took a deep breath in and glanced back at my mate, this time she wasn't alone. Another man was sitting next to her, but I could tell she was not enjoying his company. Before I could react I saw him put something in her drink as she looked away, and she unknowingly took a sip.
~That's it, that fucker is dead.~
I ran up to the patio table, my blood boiling as I saw his slimy hands try to touch her now unconscious body. I grabbed the fucker by the throat, and held him up high in the air. I enjoyed watching the sheer terror in his eyes as he was gasping for air.
"Who that fuck do you think you are drugging her drink!?"
"I...I don't know what you're talking about man."
"Don't fucking lie to me! I saw it with my own two damn eyes!" He tried to desperately claw at my hands, but there was no way I was going to let him go.
~He drugged my mate, he's going to pay for it!~
"Holy shit, Lily!" I looked over to find my mate's friend holding her hand and checking her pulse. "Fuck, this isn't good." I threw the man down to the ground and rushed to my mate's side, careful not to touch her.
"What's wrong, is there anything I can do to help?" Her friend looked up in shock, she was trying to speak but she couldn't find the words.
"I...don't know. But her pulse is weak and she feels cold."
"You're one of the nursing students aren't you?"
"Yeah, I am." She chuckled, tears swelling up in her eyes.
"I called 911," Another girl rushed forward, "They will be here shortly."
I placed my hand slowly under the nape of my mate's neck, and the other under her legs. I carefully lifted her up into my arms and held her close to my chest.
"This should help keep her warm." I said to her friend, it seemed she understood my intent and nodded.
"Hang in there Lilyanna, you're bestie is right here." Her friend said in a worrying tone.
~Lilyanna. My mate who smells of honey and lilies is named Lilyanna. She's perfect.~
"Let me go man, I didn't do anything!" I growled as I turned towards Lily's attacker. He was being held down by some of the men from my pack. The police arrived soon after, putting my mate in an ambulance and arresting the man who drugged her.
~This is not how I wanted it to go, not with her ending up in a hospital.~
