Howler

Chapter XXX

Sometimes bad things happen to good people seriously and Halloween night was no goddamn exception....

~ 12 hours earlier ~

"In conclusion I believe that I should not be having this conversation with you at this time" it was nearly one in the afternoon of Halloween and since it was the event of all things scary my parents pulled out their scariest card : the sex/mate talk. That whole ordeal began with my mother baking biscuits and I knew that it was bribe/your going to need this to soften the blow time.

I had been given the talk that werewolves have urges and human boys have urges and when having the Halloween rager when emotions tend to run a little higher we should think of all necessary precautions. Which meant tell Harry I was on the pill because female werewolves go into heat which meant that was when we could conceive and hear only occurred out mates and ourselves became... intimate.

"Mum, Dad please I don't need to hear this conversation Harry and I have only been dating what two weeks!? He doesn't even know I'm a werewolf yet." If my parents were balloons all the air would have been released from them then because they looked so relieved. "Okay okay, but will talk about this again at some point" I rolled my eyes and walked up stairs to put on my costume.

Last year I went as a bumble bee and the heat before I think I was sandy from Grease ( I was pre- slinky Sandy) and this year I was being a student from hogwarts and I was going as an under appreciated hufflepuff. I had even specially ordered a scarf from etsy to make this look perfect.

"Well well Abby, I see that crush on Cedric Diggory never faded right?" Ric smirked and I laughed because this year he was going as mobster which meant he recycled one of his old suits just minus a jacket and plus a fedora. "And your never ending desire to be a badass never faded" I gestured to his costume "hey I am a badass!" I rolled my eyes, "yeah alright. Now come on Harry will be here soon"

And as if on cue there was a knock on the door. Running downstairs I flung open the door and I burst out laughing. "What!" Harry looked confused. "Nothing just let me get my brother" I ran back upstairs and grabbed Ric by the sleeve, ignoring his protests he pulled him to the front door threshold "you two are both gangsters" I couldn't help but laugh, Harry and Ric almost looked identical but Harry wore suspenders. "Come on twins lets go" dragging both boys out of the house we were off to the party.

And every step of the way I prayed it went smoothly.

When we got there music was blasting from the pack house and I would just to point out werewolves party hard. "Wow." Harry stared at the house and Ric and I couldn't help but share a sly smile, if he wasn't piss drunk by the end of the night we'd be impressed. "welcome to your first Halloween rager in South Dakota Harry" I grabbed his hands and led him into the house while Ric was kidnapped by his mates.

The music was pulsating and every single teenager from the Violets, Indigos and even the Rubys were here. "Holy shit" Harry looked in awe like a child seeing snow for the first time. "Can I get you a drink?"
"Yeah sure" I lead him over to the drink table where hundreds of drinks, chips and dips "here you go" I handed him a cup of some mixed drink and Harry sipped it "wow that's strong" he winced a little but I just smiled.

"BLYTHE!" I turned to see Jason and he gave me a hug "Harry" he shook Harry's hand firmly "you two crazy kids having fun?" Hardy and I both nodded "have you seen Evie and Jem?" I asked him halving around "yeah yeah they were out the back" I grabbed Harry's hand and as we made our way outside we were greeted by servers people who I introduced him to but I could here a certain skepticism in their voices when they found out who he was.

"ABIGAIL!" I was suddenly greeted by a very tipsy Evie and a panicked looking Jem. "Hey Jem, you look a bit sick" I commented and Jem gestured to Evie "just taking care of this one" I quickly introduced Jem and Harry because I honestly couldn't remember if they had met yet since Harry had met so many people already. "Aww cute you two match" I noticed because Evie and Jem were dressed as Mario and Peach.

We spent a lot of the evening drinking and talking and I think the drunker the pack got the more relaxed they became about Harry, he even started played beer pong with them. I had about three drinks and was suddenly feeling a bit woozy. "Hey Jason what did you put in this drink?" I asked him when he walked past "the usual, vodka, lemonade and oh shit..." Jason looked at me and I swear he looked like he's keel over. "What Jason!?"

"I put in calendarum flori" oh shit indeed.

Calendarum flori or Cal Flo as we call it is also known as moon flower which can induce our shifting and making us more prone to effects of a moon cycle rather than our own free will but we mixed it into drinks because it made us feel 'light'. "Is it a full moon tonight?" I grabbed my phone and checked "oh shit" we'd been lucky before and it hadn't been a full more the last three years I'd been to this rager but this year had to be the year.

"I have to get Harry out of here now" I turned and became to move through the crowd as people began to wander outside, the party had gotten smaller I think people were going into the safety and privacy  of the forest to shift. "There you are" I grabbed Harry's arm "we need to go"
"Why?"
"Don't ask questions we need to leave" I began to drag him outside and he reluctantly let me. "Abby what's going on?" I could feel my wolf rising because it wanted to get out, bloody Cal Flo. "Please we have to go!" I kept dragging him but he stopped dead "no what the hells the matter!?" And I did what I thought was right.

I bolted in the opposite direction, into the safety of the woods - Harry tearing right behind me.

Wow was the longest chapter I have ever written and almost at 1k reads and my other book is almost at 2k that's amazing thank you so much.

Also Cal Flo is fictitious and it's only purpose is to drive plot. Calendarum flori is Latin for moon flower which seems appropriate.
