Forbidden Mate

Chapter 6

Julien

"If any of you are so wasted that you'll get sick in this car, I swear to the Luna I will leave you at the party." Is the first thing out of my mouth once we get the van loaded with kids. Hector is driving us there, and I'll be enjoying a nap along the way.

"I hope you all can carry your liquor." Hector grins in the rear view mirror. I glare at him.

"It'll be fun Julien, why don't you go in for a little bit and see just how much fun a guy can have." One of the girls suggests from the back. I don't even turn around to reply, just plug in my earphones and push my car seat into a comfortable position.

"Is it normal for human girls to have several sexual partners." I scrunch my nose, disgusted at the scene in a window on the second story.

"That's the beauty of humans, they're nothing but horney messes."

"And don't you plan to join them?"

"Absolutely. And you're coming with."

"I'd rather not." I try to pull away from his grasp.

"Just a few minutes." The group pulls me into the house and my eyes sting from the smoke filling the room.

Music blasts from another room and the floor is covered with trash. Wasted people lean against the walls, while other dance drunkly.

I burst out coughing and gag from the smell. My pack members disperse into the crowds and Hector pulls me in deeper.

"You'll get used to it. Wait here, I'll find the kegs." Oh screw it. I rush out as soon as Hector leaves.

The party outside isn't any better, and it's only a matter of time before someone offers me drugs. Why the hell did I let Hector talk me into this? I lock the van and take off into the night.

I reach the border of some woods, thankful that there are no fences or signs of humans. It was about a half hour south of the party and dark under the half moon.

I take off my clothes and shift into my white wolf, taking my clothes between my jaws.

Immediately jumping in between the trees, I catch whiff of a smell. A wonderful, delectable smell. That was fast. I take off sprinting as quiet as I can.

I spy her, right in front of me. Her outline shows perfectly in the moonlight, and I crouch down. My clothes silently drop to the floor, to leave my jaws free. My eyes never leave her, while she walks around the grass, between trees.

She stands in the open for a few moments, and I prepare to pounce. But then the critters come into view. Two tiny doe's, identical to their mother. If I hunt the mother, the babies will die. I continue staring at them, as the little deer feed on the grass right next to their mother.

Despite my urge to hunt a late night snack, I pick my clothes back up and turn around, in search of something else to hunt.

Maintaing a straight line, I go in deeper, sniffing for anything else that might be tasty. My ears perk at an unusual sound.

Splashing. Splashing in water. A pond? A river? I can't picture a map of this place, but it's got to be water. I quickly follow it, having no other real option to handle my curiosity.

I step closer until I hear a voice "Who's there?" It's a woman, I recognize it. I scurry behind a tree to shift and get dressed.

"I'm warning you, you better come out now before I go in there." I knew it.
