Oblivious Luna

Chapter 3

[Alexis PoV]

I couldn't believe how good the DJ in this place was. Lights were flickering to the beat, beaming down on the dancefloor in all the colors of the rainbow. My hips were swaying and popping as Natty and I clinked our newest shot glasses a waiter had brought up from what seemed like nowhere. I tapped mine to my shoulder and shot it back before setting it back on his platter. Natty did the same.

"Girl, this place is awesome!" Clearly she was feeling it as her arms went around my neck and she planted a drunken, sexy kiss on my lips. Kissing her back was easy. We always did this when we went out. It made Brent get rougher with me when we'd go home.

Brent. His name almost slipped my mind. I blinked a few times and shook my head, grabbing another shot and downing it before kissing Natty again. Even if I wasn't going home with Brent tonight, I still wanted to have fun.

Hands suddenly grabbed my hips and I felt myself pulled against a chest. With a smirk I started to grind my hips a little harder, swaying here and popping there. The mystery hands rubbed up my body and started groping and fondling; which I was not ok with.

"Hey! Jerk! I was ok with the dancing, but not the feel up! Kindly remove yourself." The hands started groping harder and I was beginning to struggle to get free. Tears threatened to spring loose when I heard what sounded like a growl and the person was ripped away from me.

"Sometimes I wonder why your kind is allowed here. Didn't you hear the lady? Hands off!" I turned to see who had said that and my eyes locked with Tyler. It had to be a trick of lighting because I could've sworn his eyes were black again. The person who had been groping me was frozen in his grasp. "Now, do us all a favor and apologize before getting the f*ck out."

"You're not the owner of this place! You can't tell me what to do you spoiled mutt!" The random guy spat. Tyler just glared down at him and closed his eyes for a second.

"Enjoy banishment from the premises, bloodsucker." Two men came up on either side of the guy and dragged him away. It almost looked as though he was hissing, with fangs. The alcohol had to be setting in. Tyler's hand brushed against my cheek and cupped my chin, eyes bearing into mine. "Did he hurt you?"

That's it. That's all it took for the floodgates to open. I stood there, tears streaming down my face and sobbed. Tyler dropped his hand to grasp mine and pulled me back over to his couch where I blurted out everything that had happened that night.

[Tyler PoV]

All I could think while staring into those bloodshot green eyes was how the f*ck could someone do this to her? From the moment I caught a wiff of her, I knew she was my mate. What surprised me was that she also smelled like a human. I never knew we could be mated to humans.

As an alpha going on thirty, it was strange I hadn't found my mate yet. Almost everyone in my pack would feel a pull the moment they turned eighteen. If they didn't meet their mate by then there would be a gala when they turned twenty-one, no matter their rank, with their scent attached to the invites so it could ensure the arrival of their mate. When I turned twenty-one, she didn't show. Now I knew why.

Alexis was sniffling next to me, wiping away her tears with a tissue. It took every bit of willpower I had to not brush them away with my thumb; just so I could touch her. She blew her nose, grabbed another tissue to wipe her face a final time, and let out a hard sigh.

"I'm so sorry you had to witness that. It's so embarrassing. Thank you so much for saving me from that creep, though. But now I must be going. Natty!" She said it in such a rush I barely understood a word, then quickly stood.

While trying to turn, she slipped and fell into my lap. My body erupted in sparks and I could tell she felt them too from the surprise in her eyes. Maybe the Hibiscus Fairy Wine was helping her feel the bond.

"Tyler... I didn't notice... You had a scar above your left eye. What happened there?" She started to slur. "May I kiss it better?" Before I could say anything, her lips pressed against my eyebrow.

"I'd rather you kiss somewhere else." I whispered as my finger hooked under her chin and I pulled her down to capture her lips in mine. She tasted like rain. The kind of rain right before Hell breaks loose in a storm. I felt my eyes closing to take in the sensation.

A subtle moan parted her lips and my tongue dove into her mouth. She gasped and pushed harder into me. Her legs adjusted, straddling me while my hands caressed her back. When my lungs started to burn I pulled away, opening my eyes to see her smiling at me. Then her eyes rolled back and she fell from my lap. F*ck.

I looked around, slightly in a panic, to find the woman Alexis had brought with her. I think her name was Natalie? I caught her eye and tilted my head toward Alexis. She instantly ran over.

"What the Hell did you do to her!" She shouted, pointing an accusing finger at me. I held my hands up in defence, knowing I would never hurt my mate.

"I think she took too many shots. She kind of passed out." I told her.

She frowned at me and looked at Alexis again. Then she c****d her head to the side and looked back at me, squinting. A smirk slowly formed.

"You have lipstick above your eye. You also have smudged lipstick on your lower lip. Damn, my girl moves fast." She laughed and gently kicked Alexis in her ankle. Alexis groaned and shifted a little, but she didn't wake up. "Poor girl needed that after what Asshole Express did."

"So you know what happened?" I asked while trying to wipe the remnants of our moment from my face.

"Know? Sweetheart, I was there when he proposed to Skankzilla! If Lexxy hadn't freaked, I would've punched both the f*ckers in their faces!" She sat next to Alexis and rubbed her shoulder. "S*it! I didn't think any of this through when I parked. There's no way I'm going to be able to drive her home and myself."

"I'll have my driver drop you off on my way home. I think she should stay with you in case she has alcohol poisoning. That is, if you're ok with it."

Natalie looked at me for a second and nodded, standing and grabbing her purse as well as Alexis'. I stood with her and gently picked up Alexis in a bridal carry, then lead Natalie to the exit and out to my car. Hopefully this wouldn't taint their views of me.
