As I reach the shore as soon as I can stand up I grab my board and start to jog back to the packhouse, untethering the surf leash from the ankle on the way. I drop the surfboard off at the shed and rush back into the packhouse. While I was running I grabbed my towel and I was now wrapping it around me. As I'm rushing through the hallways I bump into someone.
"I'm sorry," I say before stepping beside them and continuing to walk. I make it to my floor and walk into Sawyer's room to get Leo.
"Hey, I'm back. Leo come on we need to go get you dressed," I say.
"Okay," he says as he runs back to our room.
"Thank you Sawyer for watching him," I say while wrapping the towel tighter around me so I don't get a lot of water on the floor.
"No problem. How were the waves? Did you drown?" He says with a playful smirk.
I glare at him. "I did not drown for your information and the waves were great. I'm going to go get ready," I say heading back to my room.
I dig through Leo's bag for his clothes. I pull out a pair of dark blue jeans and a nice button-up dress shirt. I call Leo over and get him dressed.
"There you go Leo, all dressed and ready to go. Now tonight I want you to be on your best behavior, okay?" I tell him as I finish tying his shoes.
"Yes ma'am," he says.
"And don't talk to any strangers. Only people you know like Sawyer and the other pack members," I say.
"Okay. But can I play with the other kids?" He asks
"Yes, you can play with the other kids if there are some. If there isn't your staying with me the whole time," I say with a tone that leaves no room for argument.
He jumps off the bed where he was sitting and walks out the room and into Sawyers room so I can get ready.
I walk over to my suitcase and grab my bag with my bathroom items in it before making my way to the bathroom and start the shower. I take my swim clothes off and wring them out in the sink a little before stepping into the shower. Once I'm done with my shower I wipe the mirror with a towel to get the fog off before starting on my hair.
I go to my bag and get my outfit for the night that I'm pretty excited to wear. My outfit is a black pantsuit. The top part is a mesh material with a bra-like thing. It has black stripes on the mesh that leads to black pants with a white stripe going down the side. I paired it with black stilettos as well with a black blazer jacket. I look at myself in the mirror
Damn I look hot. I ruffle it a little and scrunch it some more. I hear a knock at my door. "Who is it?" I ask, authority lacing my voice.
"It's Sawyer can I come in?"
"Yeah," I replied.
As Sawyer and Leo walk in, Sawyer looking me up and down. "You clean up well Aeralyn," he compliments.
"I know," I joke, "you don't look too shabby yourself," I added.
And he didn't. Sawyer was dressed up in a navy blue suit. He had a white dress shirt underneath with a red tie sticking out from the top, as well as a pair of brown dress shoes.
"You ready?" Sawyer asks. I nod. Sawyer carries Leo down the hallways and stairs. Just before we go down main staircase to the gathering, Alpha Rowan comes and stops us.
"Hey, you guys look great. But Aeralyn I forgot to tell you something about the Mating Gathering," he announces.
"And that is?" I say waiting for his response.
