Chapter Four: Mate

Ryan

My wolf was on edge, he had been all night. We had been into our fourth song of the night when

something had shifted. I could practically feel the beast beneath my skin, ready to come out. At first,

when the sweet candy-like smell had hit me, I had not understood it. It had taken everything in me to

keep playing. I’d had to focus only on the music and keeping the beat for Aaron and the others.

He wanted to run, to find out where that delicious smell was coming from. Who it was coming from.

Then I had spotted her sitting at the tables that overlooked the dance floor and it was like everything

clicked into place.

Her dark red hair fell around her shoulders in soft, loose curls. I wanted to run my fingers through her

hair. I bet it felt just as soft as it looked. My eyes moved down to her wide blue eyes, they were framed

by dark long eyelashes. Her kissable lips were coated in a light pink gloss. I wanted to kiss those lips

until that gloss smeared. I knew she would be so damn fuckable with her lips swollen from my kiss and

that gloss smeared on her face.

She shifted on the bar stool that she was perched on. My eyes were drawn to her long, pale legs. Legs

that I wanted to be wrapped around my waist as I pounded into her. Legs that I wanted to be draped

over my shoulders as I feasted on her sweet pussy.

Fuck, just thinking about it made me hard. My dick twitched and my jeans started to grow tight as I

watched my pretty little mate. Thinking about all of the ways that I wanted to take her.

Her friend joined her, throwing a tanned, toned arm over her shoulder. Pulling her attention away from

me. I couldn’t look away from the two of them and a part of me was glad that Aaron made us practice

so much, it was like my body was on autopilot as I kept playing the drums able to keep up with each

song until we took a set break and I could go out there and introduce myself.

I watched her and her friend chat for a moment; her face falling before she finished her drink off. I

wasn’t sure what had happened, but I wanted to go to her. To take away that hurt look in her eyes, to

see her smile at me as she had her friend.

Aaron started a new song and I wanted to curse him for keeping me away from my mate. I wanted to

hear her voice, smell her honeyed scent. Feel her body pressed up against mine as we danced. Her

friend pulled her out onto the dance floor. Navigating them closer to the stage before they both

stopped. My mate looked at her blonde friend, who had gone still. Her eyes flashed a deep shade of

amber and her lips moved. But I knew that word. It was the same word that I had whispered when I

saw her friend.

‘Mate

My lips twitched into a half smile. If her friend was a shifter, then maybe she was too. That would make

things so much easier. Even if she was human and knew about us, it would take away a lot of the

hassle of having to explain to her what she was to me.

It would save us so much time. Yes, I wanted to take my time romancing her, but I also wanted to finish

this set and drag her out of the club. I wanted to fuck her until I was the only one that she could think of.

My name was the only word she could cry out as she lost herself in me and I lost myself in her. Then I

would claim her, feel her with my seed until her belly grew with my offspring.

I could already picture her pregnant with our child, her throat marked with my claiming bite. Showing

the world that she was mine. Warning others away from her.

Aaron tensed up for just a moment before turning back to look at me. He lifted up one finger to signal

that this was our last song before we were taking a break. I nodded and he looked over at our guitarist.

Drew, before doing the same. I knew that he had to have spotted his mate, that he felt the same pull to

go and hunt her down, just like I was going to do with her friend.

I looked back out into the crowd. My mate had moved deeper into the crowd. Her arms were in the air All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

as she swayed her body from side to side. Evan, one of my pack mates, was dancing with her.

My lips pulled back and my teeth grew sharp in my mouth. I had to fight with my wolf to keep from

ruining our set and leaping off of the stage. I wanted to demand things from her that I knew that I

couldn’t yet. She wasn’t mine. She bore no claim on her and Evan didn’t know that she was mine. Or

that she would be before the night was over. Her eyes flicked away from his face and back to the stage,

seeking me out. I wicked at her. Watching the tops of

her cheeks grow red with a blush.

Fuck, that blush was going to be my undoing. We finished up the song and I stood up, leaving Aaron

and Drew on stage. As I made my way down the side steps that led to the dance floor. Aaron was the

one that liked to play up to the crowd and he was great at it. The same wasn’t expected of me. I was

free to go after my mate.

“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for watching us. We’ll be taking a short break before we

come back on and finish out for the night.”
