Aliane’s POV
It takes Ray about 45 minutes to get to the destination. Had it been Dany driving, it would be 30 minutes max, but our lives would have been in danger, and that’s a lot, considering that we’re werewolves and have faster healing and reflexes. She never admits it, but driving is not her forte.
“Alphas, I sent some warriors earlier today to mingle with the crowd and scan for threats, the coast is clear.” Says Dany with a smile, her charismatic personality and her responsibility as a Beta are polar opposites, whomever is her mate will have fun and a hard time at the same time. I can’t wait until she finds him or her and I can watch the drama unfold. Being an Alpha doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy watching how my brother’s Beta is always a cute, crazy, funny, and amazing she-wolf.
“Thank you, Dany; now Alan, ready for some fun?” I said to my twin.
“Absolutely!” Was his smirking response as we all got off the car and started walking to the back door. We certainly had VIP access and didn’t want to have to stand in line through the front door.
We passed the small kitchen, employees’ locker, and manager's office before getting to the back of the nightclub. All the while, the music got louder and the smells of sweat, alcohol, and fried food got stronger.
Ray is walking ahead of me, always the protector, then Alan, and last Dany, making some last arrangements to her messy bun and her dress.
The club is a total hit, it is packed and most everyone is dancing. Goddess, it is nice to be out and about. We head straight to the bar and order our drinks; my twin and I get whiskey on the rocks, while Ray gets a vodka martini and Dany a mango daiquiri.
We all get looks. I know most humans are very attracted to us, but it’s myself and Alan that get what we call the double look. I mean, we’re a male and female twin pair, if you’re drunk enough, it looks like you’re seeing double.
“Come Ane, let’s get dancing.” Dany grabs my hand and takes me to the dancefloor. The boys stood at the bar while scanning the crowd and looking for a table. Luckily, one of our warriors calls their attention and mentions them over to a table. I’m glad to know that we have a table thanks to Dany’s planning.
Dany and I just dance for a while, having fun, laughing, having all eyes on us. Until Dany lets me know that she’s heading to the restroom and will be right back.
Alan came over and we started dancing. When we were younger, we learned how to dance with each other. Our parents had us take ballroom dancing lessons, saying that we had to dance at the annual dances that our pack and other packs had. It had come in handy, plus, at being 6’1” and a future Alpha, I didn’t have many other taller-than-me dancing partners.
Alan wrapped his arm around me and held my opposite hand, his usual way of telling me to get ready for his pull in my hand that would make me spin outwards. I nodded, signaling that I was ready, and he pulled.
After spinning outwards, I extended my hand, a typical dancing move. What I didn’t expect was to accidentally brush against someone that gave me sparks in my fingertips. I was looking at Alan and by how he opened his eyes and held me even tighter, I knew he felt it as well through me. We both snapped our necks in the direction of my extended hand, but weren’t able to pinpoint the location of the person.
“You felt that too, right?” Asked Alan, getting close to me again.
“I certainly did, it was divine.” I said while scanning the crowd, really paying attention to everyone. With all the smells in here, it was impossible to sniff out who it was that I had touched.
“How come we both felt it? Would it be possible to have the same mate? Oh, Goddess, am I gay?” Alan started to freak out. It was the first time I had seen Alan this alarmed.
“Who cares? We have the same mate, that’s what matters, and he or she is here right now. We need to find that person.” I said back, trying to center my twin on what matters now. For all we know, either him or I could be gay.
“What happened? You both have weird expressions.” I heard Ray say, and Dany was looking at us as well. I guess they noticed something amiss.
“Ali touched someone that made us both feel sparks. We don’t know who, but we want to find out. Did you see who she touched?” Alan explained, while I prayed to the Moon Goddess that Ray saw whomever it was.
“I think I did, but I’m not 100% sure, you’ll need to confirm yourselves. It was the blonde dressed in red that looked at you weird and started heading to the front door.” Ray said while looking at me. He was vague in the description. I had a feeling that it was a girl, judging by his more-serious-than-ever look and tone of voice.
“Brother, I think it was a girl, but I don’t care, I need to know.” I said while turning towards the front entrance and starting to walk that way. I didn’t miss the look that Ray gave Alan, so I’m right, it was a girl. I’ll question my sexuality and the Moon Goddess another moment. Right now, I need to find her.
I step outside with Alan right behind me, while Dany and Ray are a couple of steps behind. They probably don’t want to interrupt if we truly have found our mate. Thank you, Betas, for giving us space.
“Can you smell that? It must be true Ali; I need to know who it is.” Says Alan, and he started walking towards the parking lot across the street, and I followed him.
Suddenly it hits me, a scent that stirs my wolf even more. She was alert after the sparks. Now, she’s dying to see whomever that person is.
“I smell it, it’s delicious. Keep moving, brother.”
Then we heard what sounded like someone had fallen on the concrete and a little yelp, just a couple of cars ahead. We both ran, and immediately stopped when we found the location where the noise came from.
There she was. A blonde in a red dress looking like a deer caught in the headlights. The most beautiful person I’ve seen in my life, with the most alluring scent that my nose has ever received. My heart, my stomach, and my wolf wouldn’t or couldn’t calm down. I wasn’t sure at that point.
“Hi, there. We’re Alan and Aliane, are you okay?” Said my twin while crouching next to her, extending his hand out to lift her from the concrete.
“Uh, hi, yes, I’m okay, I think. Just walked faster than my feet could take me and tripped over, but I’m fine, you don’t need to worry about me.” Said our mate, in a sweet and melodic voice that wrapped you around and made you want to hear it more.
“Why wouldn’t we worry? Please, let us help you.” I said, while bending over and extending my hand to her as well.
She looked at me, and then at Alan, and back to me, it was very cute how she didn’t know which one to look at and kept switching from one to the next. This should be interesting.
Finally, she took both of our hands at once and let us help her stand up. The sparks and tingles in our hands just exploded like the 4th of July. I almost moaned out of pleasure and felt reluctant to let go, but had to so that I wouldn’t scare our mate.
“Thank you both for helping me, that’s very kind of you. My car is right there, I have to go. Have a good night.”
She was breathing heavily, and I could hear her heartbeat drumming fast. She was nervous, we needed to create a distraction to keep her near us.
