Fated or Mated

Flippers Billiards

After much deliberation in closet court, the jurors came to a decision. It was tempting to wear the black mini skirt with the silver off the shoulder silk top. There was a good chance we’d run into Sean tonight. I kinda wanted payback for the hand licking incident; because I’m a tantrum throwing toddler.

Sean can’t handle seeing me in a mini skirt. Don't ask me why but there’s a certain satisfaction in turning a smooth talker like him into a stuttering mess. We were good friends and nothing more but punishing him like that pleased me.

Choosing wisdom and caution over revenge, I opted for a baby pink cold shoulder maxi dress instead. It was floor length with a high slit on one side. At five foot six I'm short for a wolf so I loved wearing impossibly high heels. My strappy silver peep toe shoes were perfect for this dress. I tied back the front half of my long dark brown curly locks to keep my hair out of my face and let it cascade down to the small of my back. A bit of lip gloss, eyeliner and mascara finished off my look nicely. Werewolves are naturally tan but the Florida sun added just the right glow to forgo blush or highlighter. Looking over myself in the mirror I absolutely love how my tan sets off my gold eyes. "Wow, conceited much?" My wolf Kira jokes with me in my head. I smile and wink at her in my reflection.

Bianca dressed in her bedroom and we met up in our dorm apartment common room. We held two of the four bedrooms in our dorm apartment. Each room held one occupant and shared a bathroom with one other room. Bianca and I shared one bathroom and our two other roommates, Rebecca and Kelly, shared the other.

Bianca looked stunning in a short silver spring dress that fell mid thigh. Her pink strap wedge sandals set off her pink nails, lips, purse and necklace. Bianca's hair was a smooth, straight, shiny jet black and fell just above her shoulders. Her honey colored eyes stood out against her complexion and would get an electric green swirl whenever her wolf Heidy came forward. I swear she'd allow her wolf some control just to show off her green eyes...that Diva.

"Becky and Kelly said they would catch up with us at Flippers", Bianca says while grabbing the keys to her black Jeep Wrangler. I gave a small nod and followed her out the door.

As we loaded up into her Jeep, I had to point out our coordinating colors. "Great minds think alike", we said in unison. Bianca turned up Metallica on the radio as she pulled out of the dorm parking lot. Nothing like a little 'Stone Cold Crazy' to put a gal in the mood to blow off some steam on a Friday night.

We reached Flippers within minutes and parking was insane. "Dang! We may as well have walked. The dorms are closer than this spot!", I joked. Bianca laughed in agreement as we locked arms and strode inside. Becky and Kelly called us over to join their game and we ordered sodas and wings. A group of five guys walked over with a few pitchers of beer to share with us and soon enough we had a battle of the sexes tournament on our hands.

Becky and Kelly are human, just like this group of college frat boys. They don't have our heightened senses or instincts. I kept having to casually move Becky out of reach from wandering hands. These guys were quite aggressive. It didn’t take Bianca and I long to figure them out.

Thanks to our werewolf ears we could hear their disgusting whispers. We knew exactly what they wanted to do to us. "Prey", I mind linked Bianca and she smiled knowingly at me.

As the night pushed on, Becky and Kelly became more and more inebriated so we put them in an Uber home. I mind linked Sean to meet them at the dorm and get them safely into our apartment. It was obvious the frat boys spiked the beer with something potent. Our roommates were seasoned, responsible drinkers.

Fortunately it’s nearly impossible for werewolves to get drunk, courtesy of our fast metabolism. Bianca and I have been playing along, pretending to get drunk. Call me a wanna be SuperHero, but I felt it was our responsibility to educate these young men. Don’t think of it as baiting or entrapment. We have the opportunity and the means to save the lives of countless would be victims.

Okay, okay... that's total BS, we just wanted to see these jerks wet their pants. Still, a nobler outcome could come from our juvenile needs.

The crowd was thinning so the frat boys would be looking to get us alone soon. There were five of them and two of us, hardly a fair fight...for them...but we would restrain ourselves. Almost on cue the mouthpiece of the group suggests we continue our night at their place.

The frat boy hooligans were intentionally misleading us to believe that we would be safe hanging out at their frat house. A tactic they’ve used before as their lines of bullshit were well rehearsed.

“Come on gorgeous, there’s tons of people hanging there right now”, the one they called Johnny coed.

“We can get a card game going with some of the ladies in our crew”, another chimes in. I think his name was Gus.

Bianca and I feign reluctance making them all promise they were on the up and up. We give in, getting the address and agreeing to meet them there.

As we stood in front of their frat house, Bianca and I are mind linking our strategy before walking inside. There had to have been at least 15 guys inside, music blaring, smoke pouring out the windows and doors, and hardly any lights on. The smell of alcohol, drugs, liquor and s*x was nauseating. My wolf howls at the offensive smell and retreats to the back of my mind grumbling her complaints. 'Sorry Kira, we are on a mission and my best friend needs this distraction.’ As we make our way inside a familiar face greets us and leads us to the third level of the four story house. He closes a door behind us muffling the music and we find ourselves with the same five guys from Flippers.

Bianca walks over to an empty love seat and plops down pretending to be drunk. She slurs out, "who has cards so I can kick your butts in that too?" Still standing by the door I give a drunken giggle while using the wall to steady myself.

A guy sitting in a recliner motions for me to join him on the chair. "Hey sweetness, come sit on Daddy's lap", Johnny says, patting his lap. He had a great physique for a human. Broad shoulders, pecs and biceps hugged by his tight black T-shirt. His buzz cut and clean shaven face made me wonder if he was military. His hazel eyes twinkled mischievously at me. I would have been creeped out if I wasn't so ready to beat his ass.

‘Time to turn up the charm’ I mind link Bianca. Kira scoffs, ‘call me when the dumb s**t is over and the ass kicking begins’.

"Daddy I don't know if I'm ready for all that", I replied through hooded eyes chewing seductively on my bottom lip.

He was on his feet in seconds stalking towards me stopping when his face was inches from mine. Slowly he reached up cupping my cheeks with his hands leaning in for a kiss while walking me backwards into an adjacent bedroom. At the last possible second I moved my face causing his lips to land on my cheek.

"Hmm" He hums in disappointment. "How about a drink?" His request sounded more like a demand. He closes the bedroom door and grabs an open beer can from a minibar in the corner doubling as a night stand. He pretends to open the already open can and hands it to me. I can smell the tranquilizers in it. I chug it and hand him the empty can. Apparently I suck at pretending to be drunk and drugged. Why else would he move so quickly to give me more?

He flicks on a TV mounted on the wall opposite his bed positioning himself against the headboard and patting the space next to him.

I sit next to him while he flicks through the channels. Once I am settled next to him he scoots himself closer, dropping his arm around me and moving my head to the side of his chest.

Kira resurfaces gagging, 'my Goddess he stinks. What is that smell?' 'I honestly can't tell if it's coming from him, this bed, the room or all of the above', I reply to her internally.

Johnny starts running his fingers up and down my arm and his breathing deepens.

"I don't want to go any further with someone I just met", I say sleepily, pretending the drugs are taking effect.

"Just relax baby, Daddy's going to take really good care of his sweet little girl." He whispers seductively in my ear while I swallow the bile that rose in my throat.

"You wouldn't try to take advantage of me would you? Daddy?" I drunkenly pout, letting my head droop like I'm about to pass out and close my eyes. Johnny gets out of the bed letting my limp body plop down on my side. I hear him open the door and call out to Gus. "Is the other one out yet?" He asks.

"She just downed 3 spiked beers because she lost a bet and went out like a light." Gus answers.

"Bring her in here." Johnny instructs.

I kept the mindlink with Bianca open. I could hear everything she heard and said and vice versa. ‘Say when’, Bianca says through the link. We had to be certain they intended to r**e us, it was too soon to act. ‘Ya’ll sure you’re not part possum cause this is some award winning acting’ Bianca’s wolf Heidi chimes in.

‘Shut it’, Bianca snaps at her. ‘Chris, I am being carried somewhere.’ I can hear at least four sets of footsteps approaching and then feel something being roughly dropped on the bed.

‘I'm not a rag doll you jerk.’ Bianca says through the link. It was hard for me not to laugh. ‘Oh I am going to enjoy this Chris.’

‘This is sick. Why put us on the same bed? Whatever, remember, maim not kill Bonkers...okay.’

"Yeah yeah...I know, I know." She huffs through the link. "Defend the weak, protect the innocent." She uses a mocking tone and I can feel her attitude through the link.

'Pain', Kira chimes in.

‘Who you telling’, Heidi, responds, making us all laugh in the link.

Meanwhile we could hear the frat boys talking about setting up a camera and finding lubricant. There was also the sound of shirts, jeans and belt buckles hitting the floor.
