As we lost the man in traffic, we pulled into the parking lot, and waited.
In the light of the street lamp, we saw a large figure coming our way. My new knowledge of being a half werewolf was still new to me.
As Jai sensed my fear, she laid a hand on my shoulder in reassurance.
"You're going to be fine. I'll explain it to him."
"Okay," I said, my voice shaking slightly, and nodded my head.
There was a tap on the window of my side, and I rolled down the window. He took a good look at me and sniffed the air.
He was a werewolf, I knew it, but I didn't know what breed.
He was half transformed, which meant that he was most likely a half breed. His eyes were yellow, his bottom fangs stuck out, and his claws were long and sharp. His face also had some wolf like features in them, like his nose wasn't quite human, his brows were caveman like, and his arms were hairy as heck.
His size however told me that he was half of the largest breeds of wolves ever to exist. I couldn't even imagine what a pure bred would be like.
His voice was deep and gravely, almost like the werewolf in him took over his voice half way.
"So, Jai, I see you've brought a few new faces this time. I'm sorry, but the two witches can't come any further."
This is when Jai spoke up, "Well, there are three werewolves, one witch and a hybrid of a witch and a werewolf."
She pointed at me and said, "She was scratched by Damion, my step brother, and now she is half werewolf. Sorry Olivia, but you were not. The magic that you sense and smell is her sister, and a little bit of Serenity. But she's not a full witch anymore."
The werewolf spoke and to my surprise, he looked at me like I was a prize he just won. He said, " So, you were scratched by Damion, huh? So tell me, where did you meet him, because he only goes for werewolves of his own breed. And if you were a full witch then, then how come he came to you? Did you put a spell on him?"
I laughed, "No. Funny story actually. I was on a date with a human ma named Ian, and the moment he found out that I was a witch, he ran out on our date and then a man I didn't know was coming towards me and he sat down and creepily stared into my eyes. I read his aura and knew he wasn't human. But I didn't know at the time what he was. Then a group of human bikers who looked like they wanted to kill me, so that's when the full moon came out and he turned right then and there. I wasn't scared at all, and plus, I didn't use any magic at all on him, but I did on the other guys to get them away from me."
The werewolf I was talking to just stood and waited for me to continue.
I did so, " It was at that very moment that I had hurt a human with my magic. I didn't mean for the shock wave to knock them out, but I thought that they were going to kill me. And him. So when Damion was about to attack me, I just kept my cool. He pounced on me, ready to kill me, but I still didn't use magic. In fact I just reached out and petted him. He seemed to understand that I was not the threat. The man was."
I took a breath and continued, " When one of the bikers came after me, or him, I don't know which, that's when Damion covered me with his body, and he pounced off of me, and that's how I got the scratch. And trust me, it burned like you know what. After the biker was taken care of, Damion said that in order for me to not die, he had to bite me. So because I didn't want to die, I let him bite me. And that hurt even more than the scratch. Anyway, I became half and half. Ever since then, I have been learning the rules and laws of the werewolf community and I still don't know if I am allowed into a werewolves only club."
He thought for a few seconds, and then made up his mind, " Well, I guess you can, since you know Damion, but I need to ask him if he really knows you and confirm what you say is true."
And with that, he went back into the shadows, and a few minutes later, he came out with the answer.
I rolled down the window again and he told me, "You are telling the truth. He said that he's been waiting for you and that he wants you and your friends to come in right away. But the full witch needs to go elsewhere. I'm so sorry ma'am, but you can't come in. Werewolves only. And in her case, werewolf hybrids. Damion confirmed her story."
As we all got out of the car, Olivia stayed in the car and said, "Don't forget to bring me back a drink and a good juicy story about what happens there. I'll pick you guys up in the morning, let's say, in about eight hours?"
"That sounds good to me," I said.
"Okay little sis, go party like the new animal your are."
Without any warning, I jumped up, almost out of my skin when I felt a warm, strong hand on my shoulders.
"Ah! Who was that?"
"Who do you think, mio amore?"
I knew that voice. It was Damion. His slight Mexican accent made my blood run even hotter. I loved the way he said, 'my love', to me in his native tongue. I knew I was his and he was mine.
His dark brown eyes glowed yellow around the pupils and with his desire.
And mine must have glowed too, because I was feeling desire as well. And to the extreme.
As the rest of the wolves walked into the club without us, Damion leaned in to kiss me on the cheek, and then he said with great honesty, "You look very beautiful tonight."
"Thank you. I hope I live up to your standards."
"You could wear a brown paper bag and you would still arouse me. You have that kind of body. And I don't have to worry about that, because I would rip that paper to shreds."
My inner animal was about to come out and I must have caught him by surprise by grabbing his shoulders and leaning in to kiss him.
His eyes closed at the very touch of my mouth on his and he kissed me back with a fierceness that only he could have given. Werewolf or not.
I was so lost in his kiss, I moaned in pleasure. As did he.
A few seconds later, he broke the kiss and was panting softly. As was I.
His eyes were going brighter than before. I knew that he enjoyed it as much as I did. And boy, was I feeling frisky.
The doors of the club opened and Jai smiled broadly and cooed, "Okay you too, I know you are in puppy love, but the party just started. Come on, Serenity, you are going to miss it."
She went back inside, almost skipping, and Damion said, "Well, I guess we'd better go in and see what we are missing."
"What usually happens in there?"
He took my hand and lead me to the doors, and told me to close my eyes.
I did.
I heard the doors open and a new smell filled my nose.
"Open", he said.
I slowly opened up one eye, and then both shot open as I took in the view. And not only did I like what I saw, but one of my clients that has an appointment with me in a few hours at my shop smelled me from across the room, "Well, well, well. Look who the wolf dragged in.Hey everyone! May I have your attention please! We have an outsider here. A witch just blew in."
There were muffled whispers, and the next thing I knew, security was coming my way. Panic flooded in me. Damion stepped in front of me and told them very loudly so that every ear heard.
"This is my girlfriend, Serenity. She was a full witch and now she's half werewolf, so let's please get on with the party and welcome the newest member of our family!"
There was still silence for a few more seconds and then one of them yelled, "Hey! That's the girl who does my tattoos! She's the best in the business and she doesn't even use her magic. Hey everyone, let's get this party started!"
And the fear went away, at least for a moment.
That is until I smelled the scent of the man who was in the pick up truck.
And he was inside.
