Tristan's POV
Standing in my parent's kitchen with all the guys, Troy included. I was going over last minute precautions. We just got back from jet skiing and I decided a little meeting was needed. The girls went over to Lise's house to start getting ready for the club. You know girls they take forever to get ready, so we figured we'd give them a head start.
We allowed them to believe we're gathering over at my place to play some video games, but in actuality we're discussing the plan for tonight. I need to assure we're all on the same page for the safety of everyone that's with us and especially for the safety of my mate. "Being that Club 207 is located on the border of Port Clyde and Camden..." I announced to the group, while clearing my throat. "We all need to be extra aware of our surroundings."
They all nodded in agreement, since the opening of the club none of us have been there yet. So, we weren't sure what type of crowd it drew in. We need to be prepared in case any situations arise, being a wolf we can never be too cautious. One little incident of losing our temper is all it takes to lose control and shift. "All I'm saying is we all need to stay cool and remember we're there to have a good time." I reiterated to the group, knowing my guys can get a little rowdy and wild at times.
"If there's an episode of any kind, don't try and take matters into your own hands." Troy added in. I guess being a future Alpha he felt the need to give some guidance also. "Make sure you come and get either myself or Tristan."
I nodded my head in agreement, showing my guys that what he was saying made a lot of sense. Troy told us that Andre along with a few of his other friends were meeting us at the club to celebrate. He already mind linked them what we're talking about so they're aware of what to do. I just hope tonight turns out to be a good night for all of us.
Still needing to shower, I dismissed everyone to go home and get ready. Luckily I'm a guy and it only takes me fifteen minutes tops to get showered and dressed. We agreed to meet outside my house in an hour.
Having been side tracked by Dad calling me into his study to discuss some new schedules for running patrols, I looked up at the clock to realize I had five minutes to get ready, crap! I raced back over to mine's and quickly took a shower. I dried myself off, slapped on some after-shave and smoothed some gel in my hair running my fingers through it.
Figuring that since it's my place and that no one is here but me, I decided to throw on my black briefs and walk from my bathroom into my room to get dressed. As soon as I stepped foot out of my bathroom to walk towards my room, I heard a loud gasp and then a clanging sound of something hitting my hardwood floor. My first instinct was to charge at whoever it is that's in my house, but looking up I could only laugh.
Standing next to my TV with her hands shielding over her eyes, was none other than Lise. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry." She uttered nervously while taking steps backwards towards my door. "I..." She began rambling still retreating for the exit. "I had no idea you weren't ready yet. My Mom made dinner and wanted me to bring some for you and your parents. Your Mom said it was ok for me to come in here!"
‘Damn it, she looks good enough to eat’ I thought. Finally taking notice of the tight little black tube dress she's wearing and the black heels that made her legs look extra long. Not caring that I was only in my underwear, I rushed over to her grabbing a hold of her hands and pulled them away. I needed to see her beautiful face.
Her cheeks were flushed a deep pinkish hue, as she quickly looked at me and then reflexively snapped her eyes shut in embarrassment. "Wh-what're you doing?" She asked in shock.
This is my mate, she shouldn't be ashamed to look at me. I wanted her to feel comfortable around me, not to feel awkward. Guiding her hands to my bare chest, I grabbed a hold of her face in my palms and murmured in a hushed whisper, "Open your eyes beautiful."
She followed my command, slowly meeting my intense gaze. I realized as my thumbs stroked at her cheeks, that her amazing hazel eyes had a burst of amber right in the middle. "Don't be shy, all this..." I smirked, leaning down so that I could get closer to her plump pink lips. "Belongs to you." I finished giving her a quick peck.
She seemed surprised that it only lasted a quick second, the look on her face was priceless as I pulled away. Her lips were still in an adorable pout like she wasn't through with the kiss, but then she seemed to realize I was somewhat teasing her. Lise glared at me with narrowed eyes as she bent down and picked up the container of food that dropped. Walking by me towards my kitchen area to place the container on the table, she shocked the hell out of me by slapping me on the ass.
"What?" She asked innocently shrugging her shoulders. "I recall you saying not to be shy, that it all belongs to me." I let out a hearty chuckle not being able to hold it back. She surprises me more and more with each minute I spend with her. "Hurry up and get dressed, everyone's already outside waiting on you." She ordered with a smug grin obviously satisfied with herself.
I rushed into my room and threw on a pair of jeans, my black dress boots and a black short sleeved military button up shirt with a black singlet underneath. Pulling up to the valet outside of the club, the line to get in stretched all the way around the corner. Max drove Sam, Gabe, and Jordan in his truck and I drove Lise, Anya, Luke, and Troy in mine.
We got out and I could instantly tell there were more wolves here than humans. Wrapping my arm around Lise's waist we began making our way towards the back of the line. Cut off age to get into the club is sixteen, I'm grateful Lise is sixteen. To be honest with you I wouldn't set foot in here if she wasn't allowed in. The only reason why I'm here is because she still wanted to celebrate Troy's birthday. I sure as hell wasn't going to let her come without me, unprotected.
"Yo Troy over here." We heard a male voice shout out, turning around I recognized it to be Andre and a few other guys in their pack standing next to the bouncer at the front door. Andre waved his hand in the air signaling for us all to join him up front. "This is my cousin Drew." He introduced with a grin.
Hopefully his cousin Drew was going to look out and let us in the club without having to wait in this ridiculously long line. Lucky for us Drew unhooked the gate and allowed us all in, patting Troy on the back and giving him well wishes of a Happy Birthday. The amount of grumbles and complaints that emitted from the crowd had me growling lowly under my breath. This seemed to shut the wolves in the crowd up quickly, but the humans continued on with their rants and hissy fits.
It was crowded as hell inside, I can see why they're limiting admission considering they're probably already at maximum capacity. The dance floor was full of people grinding on one another to the beat of the music bumping from the bass. Being a twenty and under club, of course no alcohol is served. They had a beverage and snack bar in the center of the dance floor.
Anya shrieked loudly as a song came on, what song it was I haven't the faintest clue. Some song with Pitbull about running the night. Anya grabbed Lise and Troy by each arm and screamed excitedly over the music, "Come on, let's go dance!"
"Go ahead." I gave her a nod of approval while kissing her on the side of her head. "We'll be over there getting a table." I pointed to an area off to the back of the club where there were lounge chairs. Technically I wasn't lying to Lise. We were going to get a table but first we needed to walk around the club and make sure there wasn't anything out of the ordinary here, such as rogues.
Sitting with Luke in a booth, while all the guys were making their way around the club scouting for girls, I zoned in on Lise. Watching her move her body sensually to the music made the hairs on my arm stand at attention. She looked so damn sexy, who knew she could move like that? I wanted so badly to get up out of the booth and join her. To hold her close to me and feel her body up against mine but, Luke and I already decided we'd watch from afar and allow our girls to have their fun with Troy. It was meant to be his birthday weekend before we crashed it.
It's just that we couldn't stand being away from our mates, it literally tore our wolves apart not knowing if they were safe. They we
re dancing for a good while before two girls approached Troy and Andre. They managed to divert their attention away from Lise and Anya who continued on dancing. I was scanning the club when my eyes landed on two guys standing off to the side of the dance floor, most definitely wolves.
It wasn't the fact that they were wolves that had Luke and I standing up on our feet in an instant. It was the predatory look in their eyes and the way they whispered to one another that had me worried. They nodded their heads and began making their way through the crowded dance floor towards our mates. Looks like tonight might not turn out to be such a good night after all, at least not for these two pups who think that they can overstep their boundaries.
