The voice in my head

Time stands still

(Meghan’s POV)

Another sense of déjà vu comes over me as everything around me seems to go quiet except for the beating of my heart. My heart rate speeds up and I hear it so loud in my ears it’s like it drowns out all the music. Then the smell hits me. It’s not very strong, but I clearly smell it again just like in my dream. it’s like fresh clean air after a rain hint of musk. A sense of calm comes over me.

Loud and clear I hear the voice in my head say MATE. I groan, oh no not now please. I can’t ruin this night and be that girl. Please don’t do this. The voice in my head won’t stop now. It’s almost whining. Im hearing a continual thumping that i thought was my heart but now sounds like a rhythmic swishing of a dogs tail beating into the wall over and over. And i hear it again MATE. I panic and squeeze my eyes shut. I’m about to run out of this club when Melissa notices my distress.

(Melissa’s POV)

I’m dancing with this utterly gorgeous guy and turn to see my best friend with her eyes clamped shut and a scared look upon her face. I know what this means. She’s hearing the voice again and she starting to lose it. I know I told her she would be OK without her medication and feel the pang of guilt for encouraging her to go without it now that I see her in distress. I grab her hand and excuse ourselves out of the wall of men to head to the ladies room with my best friend in tow.

We get into the light of the bathroom and I clearly can see the tears starting to form in the corner of her eyes. I pull her into a hug and tell her it’s OK I’m here what can I do.

(Meghan’s POV)

While I am grateful my best friend pulled me into the bathroom to get me away from this embarrassing situation I know there’s nothing she can do I have to leave. I look her in the eyes and say Melissa I can’t do this. I hear it again I don’t want to be the crazy girl. I don’t want anyone to know. I turn to leave the bathroom with Melissa following me close behind. That’s when it happens, the smell makes me turn my head and in the distance I see a hazy outline of the most gorgeous physique I have ever seen in my life. He stands tall compared to these other tall mountainous men. And the muscles i can make out an outline of his arms in the lighting that makes me want to drool.

I shake my head hard what am I thinking I need to get out of here. I’m not in control of myself right now but for some reason I’m feeling a pull and want to walk towards this person. That’s when he turns his head and looks in my direction.

(Unknown POV)

I can’t believe i let my friends talk me into coming here tonight. It’s the same crowd. Most of our pack hangs out with a few scattered humans that seem to find out about our club from neighboring towns. The bouncers do a pretty good job keeping most humans out but from time to time they let some slip in for fun. I am sitting here drowning my sorrows on my 4th shot of whiskey feeling nothing. I just want to go home. My best friend Jim is dancing like a fool with a group of she wolves that keep trying to engage me in their dance floor humping poorly disguised as dancing. He keeps motioning for me to come over but after the exchange i had with my parents last night I’m just not in the mood.

(Jim’s POV)

Come on Anthony what is wrong with you? Don’t you want to have some fun? You’re going to be named Alpha in a few months. You’re the most powerful and desired wolf here. You can have your pick! I think that redhead and i are going to go find a room somewhere because i need to blow off some steam.

(Anthony’s POV)

Jim you weren’t there, you didn’t hear my father. They are trying to get me together with the alpha’s daughter from the Westlake pack. I am 21 years old I should’ve been named alpha last year but my father said he will not pass it on to me until I find my mate. And since I haven’t, even though I’ve been looking since I turned 18, he said it’s time to choose a mate. But i don’t want to choose. I want the one the moon goddess chose for me. The perfect mate, my other half.

In the middle of my rant to my Beta and best friend Jim a smell hit me that made time stand still, it was like everything around me froze. I looked up to see where the smell came from. I stood and made it across the distance of about 40 feet hardly taking 10 steps. The smell much stronger now was vanilla with a hint of citrus. I looked down at the source of the smell and my wolf growled MATE and i picked her up and held her while i inhaled her amazing scent.
