Justin's costume - Hercules
Edward and I have been dating for the last three years. I turn nineteen tonight. I plan on telling him we are mates at the Halloween Party we got invites for from the pack next to us. I'm going as Hercules; I know it's original, right? Whatever, I think Ed said he was going to go as Ceasar. I bet he is going to look very hot under that toga of his.
April said she was going to be there as well. I still have classes with her and Orion because my birthday is after September 3rd; I started everything later than most. It sucks that Orion leaves school as soon as the bell rings. Megan is a Junior this year and is dating Dax from a pack a few miles out of town. Oddly enough, Ed is only a year behind us and a Junior. He keeps skipping grades.
"Mom, do you know where my costume is? I need to start getting ready if I am meeting my friends at the party." I yell out as I search my room, only finding the boots for the custom. My mother, Deloris, opens the door to my room and leans on the frame, holding my costume up. "Are you finally going to talk to your mate and let him know? You know your dad is not going to be okay with this if he finds out." Her eyebrow rises while looking at me. Mom has always been the one person I can't hide anything from; she knows everything; she has even covered for me a few times so I could sneak out and meet Ed.
"Yes, I plan on telling him tonight. We'll have to hold off on marking until he comes of age, but then we will probably have to move away. I wonder how Dad will feel about me going off to school." I shrug my shoulders and go to my bathroom to get ready. When I come back out, Mom is gone.
I rush downstairs and run into my twin Jacob and little sister Chanel. "You two ready to go?" I'm practically out the front door as I hear them yell to wait. I hop into my Outback and turn on the music, we have to leave now to make it to the part before 9. Jacob hops in the front seat glaring at me. "You know we will still beat them all there, right? Just calm down." Duke is growling in my head at my brother, pacing back in forth inside my head.
"Jake, understand how hard this is okay. I can't contain it. I feel the pull already. Please, don't say anything tonight. That goes double for you miss blabber mouth."
"I'll let you two know that I don't tell everything; it's just hard not to tell Mom when she asks me stuff." Chanel glares at me from the back seat. "Anyway, boys, you think Silver Fang Pack will be a lot more laid-back?" Chanel is already in the backseat, changing from her "Approved" outfit to an adult one. I guess Tink grew up!
"Woa there slutty Tink. Maybe we should at least cover a little bit of your body." Jake cringes as he looks back at our sister in the middle seat. "Guess this Peter Pan will mind his business tonight without my Herc or Tink beside me."
We are zooming along the road and heading out of town over to the Silver Fang Pack. I feel us cross their boundary and even get the tingle down my back that says someone else's territory,y. I pull up to the packhouse and look for a place to park. I park next to Ed's powder blue rebuilt 1991 Chevrolet Camaro. Dang does that car not scream sexy with him just leaning up against it?
"Alright, Jus, don't leave your boy hanging, but remember mom wants us back by 2. Any later, and we might run into Dad while he is on patrol. " Jacob says as he climbs out of my Outback and heads to his friends inside, hoping he will scent his mate tonight. Chanel is already gone inside to find her mate, Brittany. I guess mom and dad might have to hope the next kid is straight because all of us aren't.

Edward's Caesar Costume
"Here, I thought you might be standing me up. I might have and to make an Imperial Decree to find you." Ed winks at me while walking from his car and links his arm with me before dragging me into the packhouse and to the dance floor.
I run my hands on his sides and down his back as we grind against each other, each of us trying to get as close as we can to each other. Hey, just claim him already. I can't keep grinding him and not want to mate and mark him. Duke says as he pushes forward, giving my eyes a slight silver glow.
"Tell Duke to calm down. We don't want to start a fight here tonight. Benji will be pissed if we damage their packhouse." Benji, the Alpha of Silver Fang Pack at only 18, is looking for his mate while we are just trying to find time to spend with our mates. His dads are just standing in the corner, shaking their heads at us while they are linked together.
"Ed, how about we go find someplace to talk for a bit?" I have to almost yell over the music for him to hear me. "Alright Jus, let me link April and tell her we are heading out for a bit." Ed makes brief eye contact with his sister before he pulls me away and takes me upstairs to the lounge. He shoves me onto the couch, proceeds to get in my lap, and starts kissing me. My little mate got all bold, didn't he? Little is not that accurate now that he has been growing a lot.
After we come up for air from our spicy makeout session, I can finally broach the subject I wanted to discuss. "Ed, I wanted to talk to you about mates. Can we calm down for just a second?" Fear flashes in Ed's eyes before he puts on a fake smile, grabbing my hand, taking me further into the pack house, and pushing us into a room. "Jus, can you please shut up and talk to me afterward? I need you." Well, who am I to say no?
