Conquering the Alpha (BoyxBoy) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 28: All I Ask Of You

Am I dreaming?

Have I ingested hallucinogens?

There must be something in the water here in Ravenwood because I am truly shocked about what just happened.

It's Halloween. Students are excited about not having classes tomorrow, Friday, because this is the weekend when most of them will fly out with their prospecting partners to be introduced to their parents.

Since it's Halloween, the Alphas decided to throw a costume party to celebrate the occasion and the extended weekend. For those of us who do not have a prospect to show for, it's a good opportunity to dress in your best slutty costume, drink, and flirt your way into making a new connection.

I understand the appeal of the party. I have been lonely since the break up with Jayden, though I don't expect anybody to suddenly pay attention to me here, at least it is an opportunity to unwind before the extended weekend.

As soon as Seth and I stepped onto the rooftop where the party was happening, we went to the table where the (cold) beverages were available and found Sean, my roommate's elected prospect. The two of them saw each other and started making out. I knew I had to find my own crowd tonight. I was not born to be a third wheel.

At first, I stumbled upon Jayden looking like a god in a Zeus costume. It was as awkward as you can imagine for two people who haven't spoken to each other since the break up almost a month ago.

Now I needed hard liquor to forget he even existed - and the fact that he still was unapproachable to me.

That's when I met another Greek God. What are the odds that the two roommates were dressed in the same type of costume? Did they order them together or something?

Skylar was more than happy to lead me to his secret stash of vodka of all sorts of flavors. I was pleased to be offered a drink, but what I would hear from him was the most shocking thing ever. I even gulped down another mini bottle of flavored vodka because I thought I was hallucinating. I am not even drunk yet... O.o

Skylar told me that he broke up with Victoria because she - who is not only pretty, comes from a great family and a powerful pack, and is pretty much perfect for him - was not what he wanted. Then he said he wanted me. I was like... what?

I told him I would never get approved by his father, but he didn't seem to care about that. He said he would not take 'no' for an answer. Again, what the hell is happening? I thought I was the boy he would never go for. I thought he was straight, but that is beside the point right now. It turns out that he is pansexual [attracted to people regardless of gender].

I am so gobsmacked by this information that I got winded for a minute.

"You told Seth that you broke up with Victoria because you wanted true love. But I don't love you. What do you want from me?" I asked him, the both of us were still hidden behind a wall next to the fire escape where he had stashed his beverages in a red cooler with lots of ice. There was music playing and hordes of people talking at the same time.

"I want you to give me the chance to earn your love. I know you are a person who wants a partner for who they are and not what they can do for you. All I ask is for the chance to prove to you that I could be that partner for you." He told me, sincerely.

It's difficult for me to comprehend that the guy who up until recently called me a charity case is now courting me as a prospecting partner.

"Are you okay? Did you consume any drugs because you're not making much sense... Up until the other day you used to call me 'charity case' and laughed when Kyle accused you of having a [secret] crush on me. Now you want to be my partner? I am not following. Is this a prank? Because if it is a joke, it's not very funny. Are you trying to get revenge on me for talking to your parents?" I mumbled, confused by his approach.
