False Expectations (Editing)

Chapter 15 - Nicolas

Adelina's pov:

We started our night out with a very classy restaurant in the center of the town. It was decorated very elegantly and looked very expensive. White and wood dominated all over the place. It had beautiful gold chandeliers, white wooden tables and chairs with metallic gold finishes. It was obvious that all the high society of our city ate here. We met a lot high ranked members of our pack but also very foreigners. There were also some humans.

We sat at a table by the window. Alex was used to being here and had a great service from the staff, especially from the waitresses who did everything to please him. I ordered pasta with pesto sauce for appetizers and seafood such as shrimp, mussels and lobster for main course while Marissa and Alex preferred beef. For dessert we had small cheese pies with various jams on top. It was all delicious! I ate too much of what I'm probably used to. During our lunch we talked about several things.We told various jokes and gossiped about almost everyone at the pack. Alex and Marissa are so nosy! The evening seemed very promising and we were only at the beginning.

After we finished our dinner, we headed to the most popular club of the town. Today they were throwing a house party and there was a big line outside the door with people that wanted to get in.  Thanks to Alex's acquaintances, we didn't find any difficulty in getting in. He was well known to the owners and we didn't even wait at the row. When we got in we were overwhelmed of how crowded the club was. Various lights were all over and music was very loud for our wolfy ears. We sat at the bar and a beautiful bar woman took us our order. Her attention fell on Alex and she didn't stop flirting with him. This guy is unbelievable! I ordered a martini, Alex had scotch on the rocks and Marisa took an orange vodka. We took our drinks  and made a propose. Then Alex left us alone to greet an old friend he detected in the opposite corner of the club.

Two very handsome guys approached us. They were checking us out since we arrived but didn't make a move as long as Alex was around. Both of them were well built with dark hair and green eyes. They were definitely werewolves and probably relatives as they looked alike. They weren't from our pack and it was obvious that they were high ranked due to their dominating aura. They suggested dancing with them and we accepted. The music was uplifting and many people were already on the dance floor. Marisa and I began swinging in the rhythm of the music. The two guys followed us behind and quickly started dancing with us. The atmosphere got hot quickly and the dancing became very sensual.

We made the acquaintances with great difficulty due to the loud music. It turned out that the guy I was dancing with was not other than  the Alpha of the Winter Woods Pack himself. His name was Nicolas as he told me. I know for a fact that his pack is very powerful in Canada with many members, assets and corporations. I knew well the previous Alpha, his father, but I have never seen Nicolas before. He told me that he was studying abroad, specifically in North Europe. Unfortunately the loud music made our communication impossible. So Nicolas suggested going outside, just the two of us. Marisa and the other stayed on the dancing track.

After a few minutes of trying to pass through the crowd we managed to get out. It was a beautiful night. Α light breeze was blowing from the west. The sky was full of stars shining brightly. I love staring at the sky especially in the night, finding the constellations and watching the satellites that are always on time. Me and my father used to do that when I was a little girl. He taught me everything inspiring my love for the sky and its contents. It is strange how many things one can remember when he is away from home for a long time. I think it's called nostalgia, coming from the Greek word nostos which means the return to your home. How much I've missed home. Although I have a job and made friends, I can't feel this place as my home. 

Nicholas took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. This energy made my memories disappear and brought me mentally back to reality. He offered me one but I politely declined.
