You're Not My Mate

You’re The Only One That I want

Aurelia POV

“Are you sure I look OK?” I ask, biting my lip nervously. I’d tried to go for the look of Sandy towards the end of the movie. I’d had my hair permed up into a full on afro, and the beautician copied the make-up perfectly, yet subtly. I have skin tight, high waist leather leggings on, which definitely meant no underwear, and an off-the shoulder black top which I’d tucked in under the leggings, that hung low to show off my cleavage and back. I’d used a belt with gold buckles in my leggings as well to keep everything in place. I had big gold hoop earrings, and red high heels. I thought about wearing the black leather jacket like she wore in the film, but I knew I’d get too hot. Florida weather was no joke.

I turn around again to face the girls. They all squeal with delight. “You look AMAZING.” “Oh, Liam is going to FREAK when he sees you.” I laugh at all their reactions. They’ve all decided to dress as the pink ladies, dressing up as different characters from the movie and each wearing a pink lady jacket. They all look amazing. My mother has even joined in as a pink lady, and I love it. All of the effort that everyone has made almost makes me tear up. “Come on, let’s go to your party!” Lucia squeals, and we all grab a partner and head downstairs. I suddenly feel nervous, and I don’t know why. I shake it off and just think about enjoying myself. 

When we get to the doors to the garden, everyone goes out first, and me and Lucia are last. I take in a deep breath, trying to control the nerves. I don’t even know why I’m feeling like this. “You ready, girl?” She asks. I nod excitedly, trying to push all the nerves away and focus on just enjoying myself. This was probably the last time I’d be at this pack house for any celebration and I wanted to remember it. I look at Lucia who is dressed like Rizzo and she looks PERFECT. She even has a fake cigarette she’s holding and pretending to use every few seconds which just makes me laugh, but helps to calm me down too. We both take a deep breath, knowing that hundreds of eyes are about to be on us and strut out into the garden.

Just as I expected, my parents had invited almost every pack we talk to, along with the 400 already in our pack. There had to be over 800 people here. And the back lawns have been changed into a huge fun fayre full of rides. I squeal in excitement as everyone shouts happy birthday. I look around to try and find Liam. I can kind of sense where he is by following his scent, and I look across to see him standing up with his mouth wide open. I grin. He looks amazing. Especially in his tight white t-shirt that clings to him in all the right places. Bless him, he even wore the T-bird jacket too. I wasn’t sure if he would, and half expected him to use the weather as an excuse. I give Lucia a quick hug and then make a beeline for him.

Liam POV

Waiting for Aurelia was painful. We were the newcomers so didn’t really know many of the other packs. Although being Alpha of Sapphire Moon meant I had a good enough reputation where people would come over and introduce themselves to us. The conversations were boring me and even though I tried to remain polite, I’d barely seen Aurelia all day. And I could feel the pull getting more intense to find her. If she didn’t come out in the next 5 minutes, I swear I was going to go and find her. 

And that’s when all of the girls start coming out into the garden. They look great. Lola has gone all out. And deep down, I know it’s because she desperately just wants to find her mate. I want her to find a mate, but at the same time, I’m dreading it. She’s my sister, could I ever let someone take her? It would be tough, for sure. I’m sure Aurelia would whip me into shape though. I quietly chuckle to myself at the thought. The girls are all out in the garden now.. And there’s no Aurelia. I sigh. How much longer? And then out walk 2 girls. I have to blink twice to make sure I’m not seeing things when I see Aurelia.

She’s dressed up like the woman in the film, towards the end. The way that her top is sitting and showing off her shoulders, chest and back. My mark there, for everyone to see. Her hair is blown up like an afro, and she is f*****g rocking it. Then those tight black leggings, clinging to her figure. Oh f**k. My d**k is throbbing. I need to take her somewhere and f**k her now, cover her with my scent and make everyone know she’s mine. She looks out of this world. Nobody better look at her tonight. Not even birthday hugs. I swear if anyone so much as looks at her for too long.. Or touches her.. I can see her looking around now and then her eyes connect with me and she flashes me the biggest smile that pulls on every piece of my heart. She rushes over to me and Theodore starts to wag his tail in delight. If I’d known she would look this good dressed up, I would have had her do a practice at home beforehand.

She runs up to me, and as she gets close I bend down to pick her up and hold her close to me. “I have got to bury myself inside you, right NOW.” I try and whisper into her ear. She laughs and pulls back, giving me a kiss. “You look very handsome yourself.” I wink at her and put her back down. I sit down on the bench again, mainly to try and disguise my d**k that’s now growing and getting hard. Why did she put me in skinny jeans? For f***s sake. There’s only one thing to do. I have to have her. I try and look around me subtly. There must be somewhere we can disappear to.

“As much as I would love to fulfil your s****l desires, I think people would notice if I disappeared. It’s my birthday.”

“You look amazing. You have to keep that whole outfit.”

“Well, maybe I’ll get tired early and you can take me to bed and have me all to yourself.”

“Goddess, yes.”

“Come on, let’s go on the rides.”

“I just need a minute, baby.”

“Why?”

“Because you’ve given me a f*****g hard on and can’t do anything about it, and I’m wearing skinny jeans.”

“Oh.”

“Yes, OH.”

A blush spreads across her face at the realisation and then she bursts out laughing. I can see her parents making their way over and panic spreads over me. This is the last thing I need. She stands up and moves in between my legs, making it look so natural. I squeeze her leg as a thank you. I can feel it easing, thankfully as I try to think of every c**k block thought in the world. “Happy birthday darling girl.” Her mother leans in to kiss her cheeks. We all wait for her father. “Aurelia, happy birthday.” And he too leans in to kiss her cheek. She beams. He nods to me and I nod back out of respect. Then her brother Felix comes running over.

“Little SIS! You look SMOKING!” She bursts out laughing as does he. “So do you Felix.” His face changes, and he starts shaking uncontrollably. I stand up quickly, wary that he’s about to lose control. Unsure if he’s going to shift, I pull Aurelia slightly behind me and get ready to protect her at all costs. Then, all of a sudden he just blurts out. “MATE.” Everyone goes quiet in our area as we watch him turn around ready to hunt out his mate.

Aurelia POV

Oh my Goddess! Felix has finally found his mate!! I bounce up and down clapping excitedly while looking around trying to find her. And then a beautiful girl comes running over to him, with long black flowing hair and a side swept fringe. She’s almost the exact same height as Felix and she’s wearing a cheerleader outfit. What a time to fancy dress! We all cheer as she runs into Felix’s arms and they bury themselves into each other. “OK, OK. Let’s move you inside.” My mother starts pushing them towards the house as we all burst out laughing.

“I’m so glad he found someone.” I say, bursting with happiness to Liam. He turns back to me and smiles, kissing my forehead. “You - uh - better now?” I ask, timidly. He laughs and nods so I drag him over to the fun fayre rides.

We spend the next hour on the rides, and I’m having the time of my life. When we get off the bumper cars, I spot Caesar, Arabella, Lucia, Dominik and - oh my Goddess! Junus! He looks EXACTLY like Danny Zuko! I run over to them. Caesar pulls me into a massive hug. He’s dressed like Keneckie and he looks awesome. Arabella obviously agrees because she looks even more like a lovesick puppy than usual, I chuckle to myself. But Junus has taken it to a whole new level. I pull him into a massive hug. “Is that a wig or have you actually dyed your hair for me?” He laughs. “It’s a wig, do you like it?” I grin and nod. 

He’s wearing a tight black t-shirt, with tight skinny jeans and a belt with a gold buckle. He’s got black shoes on, a black wig with the comb over, just like Danny Zuko and a T-Bird jacket thrown over his shoulder. “You look awesome!” 

“Hey guys, can you remember when these two would dance to that song at the end? Acting it out and everything?” Caesar asks, laughing. Everyone bursts out laughing as I blush. Lucia and Dominik start clapping. “Go on, do it! Do it! We’ll put the song on!” I shake my head, “Absolutely not!” “Liam would kick my ASS guys!” Junus declares, but laughs it off. Lucia runs off, and comes running back a few seconds later. “OK, DJ is putting it on next. Liam, you want to see Aurelia dance, right?” I look at him, biting my lip. It’s not a dance I’d want to do with another man, and especially not in front of Liam.

“Go dance, baby. I want to watch.” I blush, deep red. He has no idea what he’s asking for. I groan. But before I can protest anymore, the song comes on. “You’re the One That I Want.” Right in front of Liam. Oh Goddess, please help me. Junus offers his hand to me and I roll my eyes and take it. “Can you remember the full routine, Boo?” I roll my head back laughing. “Of course I can.” We both get into character and start our dance.

Liam POV

I was trying to remember what Felix had told me. How her and Juno are just like siblings. And I have to honour that relationship. So when they all started talking about a dance, I was genuinely intrigued and urged her on. That is, until the song started playing. And I recognised it from when I was watching the film last week. “You’re the One That I Want.” Seriously. It had to be that song. I sit down on a bench next to Caesar. Lucia jumps next to me. “You’re gonna love this. They used to do this everyday as kids, it was HYSTERICAL.” I nod at her, smiling trying to calm down Theodore who was raging that our mate was dancing with another male.

And then they start their dance. Together. Up close. Shaking and practically grinding against each other. I try to keep in mind, she’s my mate. And my mark is there, right on her neck, for everyone to see. She loves me. It’s me she always looks for. It’s me she left this pack for. I keep thinking it and saying it over and over to myself, like a mantra. If they were going to mate, they’d have done it long before I come along. Theodore however is not as easy to win around. He’s bursting to get out and kill Junus.

“You’re the only one that I want, handsome.”

I feel a smile spread across my face. Even busy dancing, she’s found the time to mind link me.

“You’re the only one I want too, sweet baby. Dance now. And then I’ll steal you off him when you’re finished.”

She turns to flash me a smile and they carry on their routine. I actually feel guilty as I look at Junus. He’s put in a lot of effort for her tonight. He looks awesome. And all I did was b***h, moan and wear a leather jacket. I have got to up my game if this is the treatment she’s used to getting. A freaking wig! But it just goes to show how much he thinks of her. I watch her face light up every time she looks at him, and his does the same. I have to admit, the pair of them dancing like this look amazing together. I thank the Goddess above that I’ve already marked her.

Each time the chorus comes around, they end up a little bit closer together, shaking against each other and in each others faces. I really do have to up my game. Maybe we can start dancing together at home. I’m sure a few of our wolves are good salsa dancers. Maybe we’ll start lessons. 

When the music stops she grins at him, pulling him into a quick hug and then runs over to me. I grin at her and open my legs for her to come in between them and sit on my knee. “Very good, baby. Very good.” She flashes me all her teeth and I can see the happiness radiating out from her. She might look at Junus with a big smile, but the way she looks at me is another level. As if I’m her whole world. I can’t help but smile back. She looks radiant. I rest my head against hers and try to use my memories to show her how utterly, breathtakingly, gorgeous she looks tonight. But I know, even my memories do her no justice.

Felix appears a short while later, with his arm wrapped around his new mate. “Guys, this is Regina.” Her eyes are dark green and blend perfectly with her black hair. Sure, she’s pretty, tall and slim. But she holds nothing against my baby. Not my sweet baby. “Glad you could put her down and attend your sister’s birthday Felix.” Caesar teases. Felix narrows his eyes and comes over to us. “Happy birthday, sis. I know it’s your birthday, but you’ve given me the best gift of all. I love you.” She jumps up, pulling him into a hug and then rushes over to Regina to hug her. “Can I borrow her?” She asks, grinning. Felix narrows his eyes again but nods and off they run to one of the rides.

“Congrats, Felix. Over the moon for you. There’s nothing quite like finding your mate.” I say to him. “Thanks. Is it always like this though? I just want to pick her up, throw her over my shoulder and run back to the bedroom and have her to myself.” I laugh. Not what I expected him to confess, but I get him. “Yeah, man. Every second, of every day. It’s torture.” He laughs then pulls a face and punches my arm. “Yeah, not cool. That’s my baby sister.” And we both laugh.

10 minutes pass and Felix is besides himself. He’s bouncing his leg, looking around, fidgeting. I chuckle. 

“Baby, I think Felix needs his mate back. He’s going crazy here.”

“Ohh, but we were just going to go on the big wheel!”

“How about you fetch her back to him, and I’ll come on the big wheel with you?”

“OK! Be there now.”

A few minutes later they both walk over to us, grinning from ear to ear. I raise an eyebrow suspiciously. What’s got these two so worked up and excited? Aurelia starts pulling my hand. “Come on, you said you’d come on the big wheel!” I chuckle and take her hand.
