The dark moon

Chapter 13••Fireworks

Alisa POV

After Cam had been weird with me at training, I stomped all the way home. I was furious that he demanded I change. I had every intention of keeping my bad mood going, that was, until I walked in and found my Aunt June and Uncle David dancing around the kitchen to a song playing on Alexa. They were so sweet towards each other that it actually hurt my heart to witness the love between them both. I didn’t want to intrude on their private moment, so I slowly backed out.

“You don’t have to leave sweetie,” Aunt June said.

They both stopped and looked at me.

“Sorry, I’ll come back later.”

“Don’t be silly pumpkin. Come here and dance with this old man.”

Uncle David grabbed me and spun me around whilst I giggled. After the little dance session, I went and got a shower and some fresh clothes on. Cam said I hardly had any clothes on before, so I was gonna show him. I grabbed my phone and texted Jordyn to see if she wanted to hit the town. She was more than happy to go out with me so we decided to make a day and night of it, a real girl's day out. I grabbed the most revealing top I could find, it was a very low cut gold halter neck top, the top was fastened behind my neck with a few buttons and a strap that went around my back where my bra strap should be then dipped down in the center all the way to down to my belly button, the fabric hung perfectly to cover my breasts but I wouldn’t be able to wear a bra, next I found my black skinny jeans and put them on. Looking at myself in the mirror, I had second thoughts.

I looked like a stripper.

As I was about to chicken out and get changed, I heard Blake and Finn laughing about me being sent back by Cam. That just added fuel to the fire. I put my high heel shoes on and grabbed my bag and headed for the door.

“Where do you think you're going like that young lady?” Busted by Uncle David.

“I’m going out with some friends.”

“Not like that, you're not!”

“I don’t have time to change. She's waiting for me.”

And right on cue, Jordyn knocked on the door.

“Bye Uncle David,” I shouted as I opened the door and walked out fast before he could say anything else.

“Damn girl, you look smoking.” Jordyn whistled, making me smile at her.

She looked amazing and thankfully we both had gone for the barely any clothing look. She had a very short black skirt on, a pink boob tube that just covered her boobs, and some black very high knee-length boots. Her short brown hair was down but very sleek looking and she had her makeup done perfectly to make her brown eyes really pop. She looked hot.

“So, we doing this?” I said, happily bouncing towards her, excited for the fun I knew we would have.

“You know it girl, I got my brother to give us a lift. He's waiting in the car. Let's go.”

As I was climbing in the car, I felt like I was being watched again. As I closed the door and looked out the window, I saw Alex with eyes as black as night staring back. Whoops.

We were currently walking to the third bar of the day. The town was a quaint and charming town. Everyone was friendly and said hello when passing by. A woman was standing outside a*****e handing out flyers. She passed me and Jordyn one each.

“Have you seen any of these girls ?” She asked, her eyes red and puffy.

I looked at the picture on the flyer and shook my head.

“No, I'm sorry.”

She walked over to a man walking out of the store and gave him a flyer and asked the same thing. I felt sorry for her, so I folded the flyer up and put it in my bag.

At the first two bars, I stuck to coke so I could enjoy the day and night. As a wolf normal alcohol didn’t affect us the same, because our bodies burned at a higher temperature, alcohol just burned right off but I didn’t have my Wolf yet, she was close to surfacing but not just yet so I had to pace myself.

Loaded with my fake ID, which I had to get before coming here, the one I used back in the UK still wouldn’t make me old enough because the legal drinking age there is 18, we walked into a bar called the tap club. Apparently, Jordyn knows the owner, and he’s a pack member, so we will get the VIP treatment.

Outside, it looked like a new and trendy bar just what we needed. Inside was spectacular. The bar was a full circle in the middle of the room. It was surrounded by people trying to get drinks, industrial looking lights hung over the bar area. The walls looked like it was the bare bricks but they didn’t make it feel cold. It added to the cozy yet industrial look. Tables were scattered around a dance floor, and both walls had booths along them. Jordyn walked over to the bar and started talking to a guy who looked to be in his 40s. He had long black hair slicked back, dark brown eyes, and the most beautiful caramel-colored skin. I could see tattoos sticking out under the sleeves of his shirt and he had a unique one on his hand. When he spoke, his accent was swoon-worthy.

“Alisa, this is Miguel, he owns the place.”

“Hi it’s nice to meet you,”

I smiled at Miguel, getting a big smile back in return.

“The pleasure is mine miss, what can I get you, ladies?”

“Can we get 2 margaritas, please?” Jordyn gave Miguel her puppy dog eyes. Miguel looked at her, then shrugged his shoulders.

“Only if you promise to take it easy. You young lady don’t have your other half yet. I can sense it’s close.” He whispered, pointing his head at me.

“Go sit down. I'll bring them over.”

“Thank you.” We both replied.

We chose a booth to sit in so we could chat without some guys trying to grope us every time they walked past. Not that we couldn’t handle ourselves, it’s just not nice having people fawning all over you.

We didn’t stop laughing. I was having so much fun. I was laughing at something Jordyn had said about a guy she used to date when she stopped laughing and looked at the entrance to the bar.

Standing there were Alex, the beta Mason, and Cam. Cam looked sexy as hell with dark denim jeans on that seemed too tight but I wasn’t complaining. His butt looked so exquisite, a black button-down shirt with the top few buttons undone revealing some of his tasty skin underneath. He had the sleeves rolled up so that his muscular forearms could be seen. He had his signature messy but sexy as hell hairstyle and his beautiful ocean blue eyes flashed with black before turning back to the beautiful shade of blue.

My heart was beating so fast I’m sure everyone could hear it. They walked over to the booth we were sitting in and I couldn’t look at Cam.

“Do you mind if we join you ladies?”

Alex asked as he slid in next to Jordyn not giving us any choice in the matter, he picked her drink up and sniffed it, pulled a face of disgust, and put it back down. Mason sat at the end of the booth on a chair he got from a nearby table and that left Cam.

“Do you mind if I sit here?” He asked me, pointing to the space next to me.

“No, not at all”

I finally looked up at him and felt my cheeks heating up under his stare. I slid over to give him some more room as he sat beside me.

“So, what were we laughing about?” Mason asked.

Jordyn chuckled and proceeded to tell everyone about her ex. After a few hours Mason had taken Jordyn over to the bar to talk to her about something and Alex was sitting at a table full of women drooling over him, it was just me and Cam, I don’t know if it was the margaritas but I felt a confidence I hadn’t felt before, I scooted closer to him and rested my hand on his. He froze when my hand touched his.

Shít. I shouldn’t have done that.

I removed my hand and was about to scoot back when he stopped me.

“Don't,” he said.

“I’m sorry Cam. I didn't mean to cross the line.”

He put his finger against my lips to stop me from talking. He smelled amazing and the touch of his fingers on my lips was driving me crazy.

“You can never cross any lines with me. Do you understand?”

No! “Yes” he chuckled at me

“You have no idea, do you?”

He was mesmerizing. Being this close to him was making it hard to think.

“I think I need some air,”

“I’ll go with you.”

“No, you don’t ha-”

He placed his finger against my lip again.

“I know I don’t have to, but I want to,”

He took my hand and led me to the door. We walked across the street to a bench and sat down. The street was lit up with the street lights and the moon and stars and sitting here with Cam was making my brain non-existent.

“Do you know what you're doing to me right now, Alisa?”

He gently grabbed my chin and turned my face to his so I was looking into his eyes. So many emotions played in his eyes as he stared into mine.

“I’m sorry Alpha Cam.”

“I told you, it's just Cam to you!”

He leaned in closer to me. I couldn’t think of anything else apart from how close to me he was.

“You look beautiful tonight,” his face was getting closer and closer.

My brain had completely abandoned me by this point, and I couldn’t form any words to respond to him.

“Do you feel this between us?”

All I could do was nod my head. I did feel something between us. I just didn’t know what it was. I just thought I was in a one-sided crush, something I could never act on because I was afraid of getting my heart broken when he found his mate. To hear him say he felt it too made my stomach flip and my heart beat faster than ever before.

Before I could process what he had said fully, his lips crashed into mine. Fighting for dominance, he gently bit down on my bottom lip, making me gasp and he took the opportunity to push his tongue into my mouth. Fireworks were going off in my head. He tasted so sweet. He was my new favorite taste in the world and I need more. I reached out and grabbed a handful of his hair and pulled him deeper into me. A small growl came from his throat which fuelled me to continue. He wrapped his strong and powerful arms around my waist and lifted me up and put me over his lap, so I was straddling him now. I could feel his erection straining against his pants and it made me hot.

I wanted this man more than my next breath. He moved his hand up to my neck and brushed over my shoulder, making me shiver with delight. We both parted, needing some air, but he rested his forehead against mine.

“I don’t think I can ever let you go now.” He panted.

“Then don’t.”

I leaned into him more and kissed him again, matching his passion with my own.
