My Mate, My Hate

autiful young ladies. You are still single, unlike us who have mates to commit to. Enjoy it while you can, ” he adds with a twinkle of excitement. Kay being older than me makes it seem okay to him to suggest such an idea at the time.

”Not really. I have somethings on my schedule that I have to take care of at sooner than later, ” I tell him.

”You are always too busy, Logan. I think you should take this time to let off some steam and have fun once in a while. ” He looks pretty serious, I mentally roll my eyes at him.

Carl takes a drink absentmindedly. I try to think of an easy way of asking about his sister but I can come up with anything that won make me sound awkward.

”Is Arya here for the party? ” the words slip out of my mouth before I stop myself. Carl looks taken aback and Kay pretends not to mind us. I decide not to repeat the question or try to clarify it because I might end up making a fool out of myself. I pocket my hands and look at him like I seriously need the answer.

”Yes. ” My wolf jumps. ”Shes around somewhere. I lost her after a few minutes when we arrived. She ran away with some girls, ” Carl replies.

”I hope she doesn get herself into trouble this time, ” I say casually, making sure Carl gets my point.

”What could possibly go wrong around here. This place is safe, and even if someone got beat up dunk, I doubt if any harm can be caused, ” Kay assures us.

”I am sure she wouldn dare get herself into another kind of trouble after what happened, ” Carl says. Kays eyebrows cross in confusion, but I am not interested in taking the responsibility of saving him the curiosity. I nod and look around the place hoping to catch a glimpse of her. All my intentions of leaving now are rendered useless. I have to see her.

I head out of the hall like a man with a mission. I would trust my wolfs senses to search for her in no time but there are too many people around hear, each with their own scent, perfume, alcohol, so many smells! It wouldn work. I need to look around each and every corner. I head towards the living room where shrieks of happy females us coming from. On entering, I find a bunch of teenage girls dancing the most obscene moves, in scanty clothes very drunk and absent from the rest of the world. Arya is definitely not here.

All their eyes land on me like I am an intruder in their presence. Well, I had no idea the room was out of bounds for males! I feel like an idiot who just entered the ladies restroom.

”Sorry, ” I murmur quickly and walk away without looking back. Their is burst of wild giggles out of the room when I leave. Shit! I shouldn do this. How much more hideous encounters am I supposed to get before I find her? What if I don even find her? I surely am not going to look into each and every room of this house.

I conclude that it is going to be a futile effort could she wouldn want to see me anyway.

I head out of the house in search for my driver so I can get the hell out of here. Its cool outside. The compound is full of life, people are scattered either in couples or in groups, talking laughing and making out. There is this dude who has cornered a brunette and the atmosphere around them is undoubtedly intimate. I look away and then back and them. The girl is leaning against a tree and the boy is standing in front of her blocking the view of her. The boy leans closer together and I know they are going to kiss but the girl shifts her head to the side to dodge him. One look at her face and my body is on attention. Mine! My wolf growls and I try so hard not to shift right here at the moment.

I have been looking for her all this god-damned time yet she has been outside here getting herself hooked! Fury builds to the fullest and I ball my fists, for a second I think I might burst. I try to walk casually towards them. I need to keep under control cause I might cause a slaughter on this joyful occasion.

Aryas eyes find mine as I approach them. She smiles at something he says and then turns her attention back to him like nothing has happened. That makes madder tenfold! Her smile gets bigger and she rises her hand to his chest. My wires break lose.Is she doing this of purpose? How dare she?

She eyes mine, as if to show me that she has seen me and so what? She chuckles and then puts her head on his chest. After that, I can control myself anymore.
