A KISS UNDER THE GOLDEN MOON

LIAM'S POV "Dude, it's been like four months already. Get over it, the b***h is not worth it!" Adam has been trying to convince me for over an hour to go out. Is our last night in the human town. Tomorrow, we have to be back at Midnight Moon pack so we can take over as Alpha and Beta of our pack. I don't know when I will be back to my apartment in the human town, four years ago, I was only coming to explore, but I met Olivia, and everything changed. I stayed for her, my father almost disowned me when he found out who she was, but he let me stay under the condition that I went to college and returned home every summer vacation for Alpha training with him and take over as Alpha when I graduated. It turns out that Olivia was just as conniving as everyone in her pack. Why did I think she was going to be different? Of course, she was lying. There is a reason why her pack is an enemy of ours, but in human territory, everything is neutral, or it was supposed to be. "She was worth everything to me!" I tell him upset. "Seriously? Were you going to make her your Luna? You were going to take the enemy to pack territory? Your dad may have let you date her, but he was never going to let you make her yours completely. Not without a war." Adam points out. "We had a deal, Olivia and I had a deal. She was going to renounce her pack and I was going to do the same, we were going to stay here. That is why she left after graduation.She was going to talk to her father, and then together we were going to Midnight Moon so I could talk to my father. This Christmas was going to be our first one completely free, that is why I stayed. For her, but she betrayed me!" Part of me thinks she planned it all along. How come she didn't meet her mate before? She had been going home every year at the end of the semester, and she always came back to me, but not this time. She didn't say much, just that she found her mate and she couldn't reject him. "Are you even listening to you right now? You are the future Alpha, you don't get to renounce your title, and she would never leave her pack. She is the Alpha's daughter, maybe not the next in line to be Alpha, but with just as strong duty to her pack as you. It was never going to work. Now, forget about her and lets go have fun for the last time. You'll feel better after a few drinks, and I heard that Lucy is going. Remember her? You slept with her the night Olivia broke up with you. I think she likes you." Adam tells me smiling like am i***t. "We didn't sleep much, man, and frankly, I didn't like it. I was already too drunk to care. She called me a few days after, but I never answered her. Too clingy. Pass, I don't think I can stand two minutes with her." I remember very little about that night, but I do remember regretting everything when I woke up next to her. Isabella's POV "Shot, shot, shot" My friend Amy is chanting, as we sit at the bar. Tonight is buzzing with chatter and the clink of the glasses. All kinds of creatures are here celebrating the transient moon. This is one of three nightclubs exclusively for creatures other than humans, vampires, witches, and even werewolves. In here, everyone is friendly, no matter what you are. Which is why I like it. "Oh man, am I late? Has crazy Bella came out yet?" Steve comes rushing towards us. Amy, Steve, and Riley are my only friends. A very unusual friendship that many do not understand vampires and witches don't really get along, and don't even get me started on werewolves and witches, but here we are. "Not yet. She's only had three shots so far, but she's getting there. Where's Riley, I thought she was coming with you?" Riley lately has been MIA. She just dissappears for hours and comes back, making some excuse, and judging by her aura, she is very relaxed and satisfied? Better not think about what she's doing. "That little wolf is up to something. She has her tail between her legs every time I run into her." Steve says, taking a shot. "Well, she will tell us when she's ready, and she'll be here, I'm sure. Is not every day that we have a transitioning moon. Look around. Everyone is ready for it." Amy points out. "For now! Shots!!! and keep them coming!" She tells the bartender, and just like that, we go back to shots. The room is starting to spin just a little, I am the perfect amount of drunk, just enough to have fun and enjoy my time. The dance floor is calling me, so I stumble my way through the many bodies that are already sweating, dancing close to each other, I think this is my lucky night. Steve and Amy come with me all of us dancing, having fun. Tomorrow, we will go back to our lives, but tonight there are no worries, no problems, just my friends and the group of strangers around me welcoming the magic moon. "Riley is here!" I tell my friends pointing at the entrance. She is walking in, looking fabulous as always, tall blonde beauty, catching everyone's eye, she is walking like she owns the room her wolf personality in full display the guy behind her can't stop looking at her. Poor i***t, they always fall, but she doesn't even look at them. There is a sudden shift of energy in the room. Something feels light, even the scent is sweet, is like the music stops suddenly, but everyone is still dancing, this is just happening to me. I may be too drunk after all those shots, and maybe I somehow messed up with the sourounding, Lucas is going to kill me if he has to clean my mess again. I slowly walk towards the lounge area, nobody seems to notice my presence, a lot of people are making out, talking dancing toasting, and just having fun in general. All except him, the mysterious man that has been haunting my dreams for the past two weeks, he is real! He has been entering my dreams guiding me towards him, but I wake up every time I'm close. is this another of those dreams? The handsome stranger is looking at me interested, and I don't seem to know what to do. I see him get up coming towards me with decision. Realization hits me before I can run. "Mine!" A voice in my head screams loud, I have never heard anything similar before. The voice was so loud that it startles me for a moment. What was that? I try to run, but he is quick to take me by my hand, pulling me all the way to the back of the lounge chairs.Hardly anybody is in this area. "Is happening! Look above!" People start calling out, and they start gathering at the center. The ceiling starts to open, revealing the gorgeous moon. It is a show of fire and light, so beautiful, so mesmerizing that has all in awe! We are, after all children of the Moon, no matter the species, she created us all. I try to rush to the center, I was supposed to do this with my friends, and I refuse to let the flea bag in front of me decide what I'm doing. "Not so fast! What the hell did you do witch? Why do I feel the mate bond with you?" The stupid wolf starts asking me. As if I could decide how these things happen.
