Booki Chapter1 Avas P.O.V. Looking at myself in a mirror while wearing a tight , black dress is not what I wanted to do with my night . This is all Alices fault . Even if she is my best friend , she is pushing the limit of my indulgence with this party . It was all her idea and I am being forced along with it . My wolf had been antsy all day and harder to control , giving me another reason not to go to this stupid party . Unfortunately , Alice doesnt seem to have an understanding of the word no The worst part is that the party she is dragging me to is one thrown in the honor of the two visiting Alphas , Alpha Ryder and Alpha Asher . They were twins and ruled the Blood Moon pack together . They had just signed a treaty to help protect my pack in exchange for some of our land . Given the fact that many of our wolves were dying due to rogue attacks , this was a smart thing . However , Alpha Ryder and Alpha Asher are notorious for making treaties with packs and then taking them over . I dont like them . Also , I hate parties and have had a problem with most authoritative figures , something about me being insolent or something . I dont see it . This party was a combination of the two , but I have no choice . I wasnt going to have fun even if Alice disagreed . She always ditched me at the entrance to go dance . Damn girl , you look smokin hot , comments Alice who is looking me up and down . I grunt in answer , still not happy about this situation . She shrugs in the face of my wrath , Cmon lets go , we will be late . I mumble , Would that only be a bad thing though . By her lack of answer , Alice didnt hear me . Despite being only sixteen , she is a party animal . I am sixteen too , but not interested in any of that stuff . Alice always says that I should live my late fully before I find my mate . I mean technically I am old enough to find my mate , but that wont probably happen this soon . Like the twin Alphas , they are 20 and still dont have a mate . Twins share one mate of course and it is always harder to find a mate for their situation . I follow Alice out of the house and down the street . I live pretty close to the pack house where the party is happening . Alice knew I was upset , so she didnt even attempt conversation . I am well known for my temper . As my best friend , Alice isnt at the receiving end of it and usually encouraging my fights . But now she might in the unfortunate position of me losing my cool , there is only so much I can take . Once we arrived at the party , I lost Alice in like two seconds . I already saw that coming and I found myself on the dance floor . I love dancing , so I honestly dont mind . Throughout the night , my Book1 Chapter1 1/3 actions became mechanic : take the shot of vodka and dance . I am really drunk , but I didnt care . It was the most fun I had in ages , maybe Alice I was right . I do need to get out more and if every party is like this , count me in ! I am dancing alone or with a partner , it didnt matter to me . At one point , Alice came back around to me , dragging a man behind her . Seeing her , I stopped and slipped out of the embrace of the woman I had been dancing with to meet my best friend . Her smile went from ear to ear and I assumed the best She told me , Blake , meet my best friend Ava . Ava , meet my mate ! I guessed right , Im so happy for her ! Finding your mate at 16 doesnt tend to happen that often and she is lucky to have that . I just with her . hope Blake can keep up I shake his hand , Nice to meet you . He takes Alices hand in his own , Nice to meet you too . I am Blake , Beta of the Blood Moon pack . I already figured that out by his dominance and Alice sort of introduced him . I kept my smile on my face as I was too drunk to care . Without further ado , both of them took off , leaving me alone . I thought about stopping drinking . I dismiss the thought . I am alone and what better way to numb that pain then drinks ? Not my smartest moment , but as a werewolf , I can usually hold my alcohol . So , I kept drinking . My sober self would be yelling that I am putting myself in a potentially unsafe situation . My drunk brain didnt give two shits about that . I am upset at the fact that my best friend is leaving me . Dont get me wrong , I am happy for her . I just felt so alone right now . Im not the most social person and Alice had always been there for me . Wobbly , I returned to the dance floor . Soon enough , I felt two intense stares burning holes into my body . My curiosity practically made me turn around and stare back at the strangers . And damn , those were a pair of fine strangers . I We stared at each other as I continued dancing , but my mouvements changed . They became less random , more seductive . Apparently , my drunken brain thinks its a good idea to get laid . Gone was the idea of waiting for my mates .
