Hunting Mate

Chapter Three

"Happy Birthday Mr William Wolfe" I said he smiled at me, we always joked about his last name and the irony of it "thanks dude" he said back to me "do you want a drink?" I ask shocking me he shakes his head "no I've got three already" he says making me laugh "you want some water?" I ask, he laughs "it's my birthday, mommy" I roll my eyes and walk to the bar.

I look at the barman "how can I help?" he asks "can I have a scotch on the rock?" I said he nods and walks away "starting heavy are we?" I hear Frankie as I laugh turning around "I deserve it, I've worked non-stop and my mom was at my house yesterday" I told him his eyes widen "she slap you this time?" he asked "not this time I think I kicked her out just before she could" I laughed "anyway how is your mom taking another one of her boys become more like you?" I ask, I couldn't say it as there was people around.

I pay for my drink and we walk away from the bar "she cried begging for a normal child" we both laughed, his mom was imprinted on by Frankie's dad back when he was 13, she was 19 at the time but now they were happily married and had three children together Frankie, Axel and Harriett. Axel had just recently start phasing and Frankie phased when he was 18 "there's always Harriett" I said Frankie nodded then laughed "just imagine if she started phasing too" I laugh.

After I few more drinks, I had a little dance with some of the people in the pack, including the birthday boy himself, I laughed after 5 songs "I'm going to get a drink" I announce to Will who nods and starts dancing ,I think he going to end up breaking something possible a body part with those dance moves.

"Can I have a beer please mate?" I ask the bartender "so is it a birthday or something?" he asks as he grabs the bottle "yeah Will the one attempting to break dance its 21 with 8 years experience" the barman handed me my beer laughing "I know that all too well I'm 21 with 29 years experience" he said making me laugh "what about you?" he asked "nah, I'm just 21, still in my first year of experience so far" I explain he chuckles lightly, I hand him the money and walk away.

I lean on a wall near the dance floor laughing at the guys trying their best to dance. I felt a presence stand next to me something told me I should look but I told myself to calm down it's a club people will stand near me, I take a swig of my beer "why aren't you dancing with your friends?" I hear a ladies sweet voice "I get more fun out of watching them" I confess keeping my eyes on my friends "is it some sort of party?" she asks I nod "my friend's birthday party" I explain.

There's a silence for moment "so what's your story?" she asks I laugh lightly "my story?" I look at her but she was distracted, she was petite with blonde hair which landed on her elbows "my name is Layton Hammond, I work in security I guess and a garage and I volunteer in a school. What about you?" I look trying to find out what she was looking at "I'm Pandora Blakely, I volunteer in a hospital at weekends and I work at a diner" she tells me, I nod.

I look at her "well it's nice to meet you, Pandora" I hold out my hand and look at it as turns her body to shake my hand "you too, Layton" we both look up and make eye contact. At that exact moment everything changed; my world is no longer my world, my world is now Pandora Blakely.

I smile at her and she smiles back. I can't believe I have finally imprinted and she is super beautiful so that a bonus. I want to kiss her so bad, however, something inside of me screams out 'no don't do that' I don't understand why, but I decided to listen to the little voice and not kiss her.

I see Pandora look over the other side of the club again "I've got to go now" she says with a smile "wait" I shout stopping her, I take out a scrap piece of paper out of my pocket and note down my cell number and hand it to her "call me?" I say she smiles sweetly at me and walks away.

I watched her leave the club "you've finally imprinted then" Frankie said before hugging me "I'm happy for you" he said "what's her name?" he asks.

My eyes are still glued to the door that she left through, who where the three men she had by her side? Was one of them her boyfriend "Pandora" I finally say.

I wish I had gotten to talk to her more, I wish I had kissed her. I have to figure out why that little voice in my head told me not to kiss my own imprintee.

I wanted to follow her to see who them guys where? I need to know who they are; family, friends, a lover, who?
