Werewolf High School

Part 23: Birthday Party #2 (Saturday)

I still felt bad that Adam's party was mainly used for diplomacy, and even that hasn't ended too well. At least Alpha Dominic promised to be on our side, as Alpha Christian told us later. They were childhood friends, which explained their tight bond.

At their talk with my dad and Alpha Henry, he took our side almost immediately, but Alpha Henry was the one who was more skeptical of the new alliance.

After more convincing from them all, he roamed inside the house, and that was where he found me and tried to take his anger out on me.

I didn't know if he would actually do anything or was he really only joking, as he said himself later. I hoped it was the latter option, but at that time, it surely didn't seem like that. My dad was angry like hell when he finally found out what had Alpha Henry truly threatened me with. He swore he will kill him if he ever comes across him again.

But to me, he didn't know what to say, except he was sorry for not listening to the messages I was sending through our mind link. I guess we were all learning to be more cautious. If it were only our packs, we normally shouldn't worry, but we just had to take more caution with all these other packs coming to our territory. So far, we had one ally, one enemy, and three undecided packs.

I wanted to give Adam a real party just for him, so I decided to throw him a surprise party. It was also a good way to take our mind off the current pack problems, at least for a little while.

My plan was to have dinner with him first and then bring him to a club where all our friends would be waiting. At first, he was hesitant when I asked him out. He said now wasn't the best time, but after I faked a sad look and said he never took me anywhere, he finally gave in. He picked me up at seven, and we headed to a really nice new French restaurant in the town between our territories where our school was.

I chose a tight red one-shoulder dress with a big flower made of fabric on that same shoulder. My hair was tied up on the opposite side of where the over-shoulder part was and was arranged in flower resembling braid. I put on some red lipstick and black eyeliner.

As soon as Adam saw me, he could barely say anything and just kept staring at me. I could see it in his eyes how much he liked it, and it made me giggle. My mom hugged me before saying goodbye, but my dad only told Adam sternly to take very good care of me.

We sat down across from each other in the restaurant, and Adam still hasn't said anything, so I decided to start the conversation. "So, are we going to be quiet all evening tonight? I was kind of hoping to talk to you too, not only eat," I said teasingly. It was almost cute how he tried to get himself together. "Umm, yeah, definitely. Let's talk about something. What do you want to talk about?" was all he could get out. I chuckled at his confusion. "Well, we can start with choosing our food first. What would you like to eat?" "Umm, yeah, food is good. What would you like? I'll have the same."

After we got our dishes, he recovered slightly. We talked about some things from school and some things about our packs. Still, I tried to avoid anything to do with alliances as I didn't want us to worry about anything tonight.

After dinner, when we walked towards his car, I looked at him, giving him my best puppy eyes, and said that I don't want this night to be over and I wanted to go to the club. He said he didn't want to go to the club and pulled me in for a kiss right there in the parking lot. He snaked his arms around me and pulled me really close against his body. His kiss was very intense and passionate. I could already feel how much he wanted me, and being pressed so close to him stirred my desire for him as well. But I knew everyone was waiting for us at the club, so I had to push him away before we got any further. "Wait... I really want to go to the club. Please? Just for a little while?" I said, doing my best begging look. He tried to kiss me again, but I leaned back and further from him. "Alright. But just for a little while, ok?" he finally said.
