Chapter 4: Birthday Part 2

CJ

It was time. We got in my brothers’ car and my excitement was high. I couldn’t wait to see what my mom had done with the place. And couldn't wait to try all the delicious food my mom prepared. As we approached, I could hear the music and the guests going into the packhouse. It looked amazing from the outside. We pulled in front of the packhouse, and I couldn't wait and rushed out of the car. “Bro, slowdown!” Alex said with a small laugh. “Come on bro. You know you were the same way during your 18th birthday” I responded with a huge smile. He hung his arm around my shoulder and got me to slowdown. "Hold your horses bro. We're steps away. Just chill" he said with a devilish smile.

The doors are opened as I approach the doors and I can’t help but open my mouth wide as I walk in. The place was amazing. My mom really went all out. As I was lost in my thoughts everyone yelled in unison “HAPPY BIRTHDAY CJ!!” “Congratulation!” “Thank you everyone” I responded with a big smile. Everyone started hugging me and showing how excited they were for me.

I was mingling with everyone till my boys came and jumped on me. “Happy birthday bro” all the guys said in unison. They surrounded me into a group hug. We couldn’t stop laughing. We went to the dance floor to goof off and have a fun time. We were all getting down and singing almost every song that the DJ played. Mom called me back to the table to open gifts and then brought out the cake and sang the happy birthday song. My friends, like always smashed cake in my face. I washed my face and returned to the party.

It was midnight but the party was getting harder. We wolves are party animals. You can hear the wolves howling from time to time from excitement. Around 1am I picked up the scent again but this time it was more detailed. It smelled like mixed berries and marshmallows. The scent was mouthwatering. I sniffed the air trying to see where it came from, when the doors opened, and Lexy walked in. The moment she walked in the scent was pure. I couldn’t take my eyes off her.

Wow! Is all my brain could process or even say at that moment. She looks amazing in her black and red bodycon dress with a slit on her right thigh. And let me not talk about the low cut on the cleavage. BEAUTIFUL. Is all I could say. ‘MATE’ Is all Xazul howled.

WHAT!! I said loudly. When I look back up, I can’t see her anymore. I kept looking around but couldn’t spot her. And then noticed the guys looking at me. I smirked and shrugged. I turned around and started walking towards the drinks table while trying to find her. I kept looking around but still couldn't see her. I couldn't believe Xazul words. I'm still processing does words. But I can't deny that her scent and the way she looks, I can't get out of my head. I have to find her.

‘Xazul? Are you sure about what you said?’ his respond was just ‘MATE’.
