Undefeated Luna

The Smell of Chocolate

2. Seth POV:

I knew Kilian did not need much persuasion to get him out. One mention of his mate and his mood changes. He has been looking for her since he has turned eighteen and has given up hope multiple times. He is just like his father and so were his brothers, he is loyal and dedicated. I know when he meets her, he is going to give her the world. Being an Alpha comes at a price, all the she-wolves will chase him, which I don’t see it as a bad thing, but he hates it. By being the Alpha, your mate bond will more than likely to be with someone from a higher rank and always a wolf, never a vampire, witch, or a human, what can I say I felt sorry for the guy. I have known Killian since we were pups, he was a month older than me and definitely smarter. Complete opposite to me, black hair, brown eyes and at least two inches taller than me. His hair was always pushed to the side and he would never smile when he met someone new. I had muddy blonde hair and blue eyes.

As we get out of Christopher’s car, I notice that we are standing outside of a club named “Oddity”. Fitting name for club filled with so many species, you could smell them in the air. We walked up to the doors and the security guards let us through straight away.

“Good Luck Alpha” I say winking to Kilian, he just raised his brow and dismisses what I said.

“One drink and I’m going” he was such a grump he really needed to get laid.

In the club I could smell everything, the alcohol, drugs, sweat, arousal, cheap perfume, and men who put too much aftershave on. Immediately unmated she-wolves glanced our way. Here we were four unmated wolves on a Friday night in New York City.  We got to a booth that was upstairs overlooking the dance floor and there was a piece of paper which Christopher picked up and just grinned. The music was pounding, and the floor was shaking with the vibration of music, I looked around and there were two bars on either side of the club. Both rammed with people trying to order drinks. Through the strobe lights I could see the smirk on Christopher’s face.

“Gentlemen my father has brought us refillable glasses and unlimited spirits” he shouted over the music.

“And what is the occasion? Is he trying to help you find the future Luna of the Golden Forest?” Kilian said sarcastically.

As the night rolled, I walked down to the danced floor multiple times with multiple women, all of them beautiful but none of them were my mate. As I was heading back upstairs towards the booth, I noticed the booth next to ours has been recently occupied by a group of gorgeous women. I swerved off and headed in that direction.

“Hello ladies, I seem to have lost my way, any of you ladies care to help me find the right way” I had multiple lines, but I was too wasted to make a coherent one.

“Get lost mutt” one of them barked, after which I heard the men break out in laughter.  I walked back to the booth with my hands above my head defensibly and my head hanging low.

“Mate you knew that was not going to work” Sebastian, the Beta replied.

“Well it usually does” I said taking a sip of my whiskey. Then I started to think “They called me mutt… how did they know?”

“What do you mean?” Kilian said, how does this guy not get drunk he was not even slurring his words.

“Wellllll….” I gave him a darting look trying to focus on his face.  “You said it yourself, or was it me? Anyway, one of us said that this city will be filled with she-wolves, however they do not smell of anything, they smell like humans? So how did they know I’m a wolf?” I said confused.

Christopher didn’t react to my observation, instead it look at though he was searching for someone in the club, playing with the note from his father.

Kilian POV:

Seth was a light weight I could not take him anywhere, or he could not go anywhere actually. The only reason why I agreed to come to this skanky place was to get to know Christopher a little bit better, he was going to be the next future Alpha of Golden Forest and a close ally. You cannot get to know a person any better and what kind of character they are unless they are drunk.

“So how do they know I’m a wolf I ask you again” Seth repeated his question which I thought was rhetorical.

“Maybe you’re acting like a horny lap dog and they think your just up for a shag?”

“Me? NEVER!” Seth replied.

Although it was strange, tonight this city was riddled with she-wolves and this club is high end how did humans get a booth? They do not smell like anything, human usually have a smell of some sorts. Bane was getting restless and was running circles in my brain. I ignored him thinking he was just annoyed with me for not giving any girl in this club a chance.

Then it hit me.

The delicious smell of chocolate, brownie or cupcake, a rich cocoa.

It was her.

It was my mate.

She was here, I needed to find her, I needed to find my mate!

As I stood up and walked to the barrier overlooking the dance floor, I saw her. The most beautiful creature I have ever laid my eyes on. She stood out from the crowd, she had a skin-tight red dress with bare back and long black hair. Obsidian black, down to her hips and she was swaying them from side to side to the rhythm of the music. I was mesmerised, she had the most precious lips. I wanted to kiss them right away, the curves on that girl were to die for. Her face was the sweetest face, women usually pout in skanky pictures to have her features. As she was dancing, she turned around and  I saw her backside. I wanted to jump down and s***k her right there on the dance floor, I did not give a f**k who was looking. On her bare back I noticed a tattoo going down her spine. I couldn’t make out what it was as my vision started to get blurry just focusing on her.  She looked up and her eyes darted past me as if she didn’t even see me, what was she looking at?

She raised her hand, it looked like she was waving me over, only then I noticed the women from the booth getting up and leaving one by one. Something was wrong and Bane knew it. If she saw me why was she not looking at me? Surely she felt the mate bond.

I heard Bane say the one word I never thought he would say…. “MINE”.

Seth POV

Kilian completely ignored the fact that I was onto something, he just got up and left the booth, approached the barrier, and did not say a word. Me and Christopher just looked at each other and followed him. Sebastian was too busy playing with his straw to notice anything.

“Kilian, you alright?” no response.

His body was tense, and I saw him looking at a girl in the crowd, then he said it … “Mine”.

The bastard thought he could jump, and Christopher just grabbed him and I followed, not understanding why. He was an Alpha he jumped several flights of stairs before. Why stop him?

“Mine she’s mine, let me go I have to claim her!” he roared at us.

“Calm down she cannot be your mate, she looked at you, if she was your mate, she would have been up these stairs by now” Christopher roared back. The music was loud enough to mask their Alpha voices.

Kilian sat up from the floor with black eyes. f**k Bane was coming out! I grabbed his body and slammed him back to the floor, it was  only a matter of seconds before he shifts, and he cannot do that here.

“Look at her she is still down there, she did not feel the mate bond, she is a human you’re an Alpha she is not your mate!!!”

Just then Christopher looked down on the dance floor and saw her, still holding Kilian down, and I saw what he was looking at. The girl had runes on her back, only Elders have these runes or their servants. Who was this girl? Then I saw all the other girls had these runes tattooed on their spines, but this girl had the biggest, she was special in some way but how?

“MINE!” Kilian roared again and I saw the glasses shake on the table.

“You need to calm the f**k down, that girl is definitely not your mate, she is a Daughter, she belongs to the Elders, trust me on this, if you approach her you will regret it. She is not a wolf; she is a human who lives to serve the Mother”.

Kilian’s eyes were gone and he was not listening. Wolf eyes turn black when they are either lusting for someone or they are angry, and unfortunately for us, Kilian was both.

“Let me go!” he roared in his Alpha voice and we could not do anything but obey. This was only going to get worse.

“Please anyone but not her” Christopher pleaded as he was shoved aside. Christopher was not an official Alpha yet so he couldn’t do anything.

Kilian POV:

“LET ME GO” Bane knew when to come out and after all three let me go, I stood up and jumped over the barrier landing on all fours.

I regained control and I saw her walking away with the females from the booth, why was she walking away? Couldn’t she feel the mate bond? The sweet smell of chocolate was getting stronger and driving me insane. I pushed people out of the way and finally got to her, she had her back towards me and was walking away.

Don’t let our mate get away, Bane barked, he was going insane in my head. We have been looking for her for 3 years.

 I reached for her wrist and I felt electricity jolt around my whole body.

It was her.

It was the love of my life.

As she turned around, I saw her eyes, deep pools of blue. I felt as though the whole world stopped. I noticed her beautiful face fall, love replaced with hatred, smile replaced with frustration, disgust almost. She yanked her left wrist away, stepped with her right foot forwards and leaned away. She brought her right hand up and looked at it. I was so confused but Bane knew what was coming. She turned around to her friends and they all nodded after which she scrunched her hand into a fist and delivered the most painful punch in my life, knocking me to the ground.

“Do not touch me mutt” was the last thing I remembered.

Seth POV:

“Alpha!!!!!” I reacted immediately, it was not the punch that kept him down, it was the force which he was punched with and the hit to the back of the head on the dance floor. What just happened? Killian was the most powerful Alpha I have ever met. Every morning during training he fought multiple people and none of them have managed to keep him down and this chick could do it with one hit.

“I told him so” Christopher said whilst running down the stairs.

I tried to look for the girl but no luck. They have disappeared without a trace. Who were they? Well one of the was supposed to be my future Luna, but she was vicious. I looked over to Christopher “We need to get him back into the Palace before he wakes up, he is going to rip the whole city apart just to find her”.

“Let’s go now” Christopher agreed.
