Chapter 8
Getting into the club was easy, the guy in charge of the door was a shifter, he smelt feline, the club that Ellie had recommended was catered to shifters of all types, by the dominating race was wolves. Because of our advanced hearing going to normal clubs wasn’t advisable because we would more than likely blow and eardrum, although the music was pumping and the baseline was booming, the surround sound was specialised so the effects weren’t damaging to shifters, allowing us the clubbing experience and the pretence of normalcy, to all the humans that frequented here oblivious to their surroundings.
The three of us sidled up to the bar and ordered a round of shots, although this was a night to let loose the concept seemed lost on me, especially in the current setting, I felt tense and picking up on that Jenna order three more rounds of shots and demanded we down them, feeling somewhat loosened up, we made our way to the dance-floor, dancing and swaying to the music, although I tried the rigidity didn’t seem to leave my body, I just wasn’t sure what had me so tense and on edge.
“ come on girl, you’re here to let loose and have fun, this is your night enjoy it” Jenna exclaimed into my ear, I turned to her “ I’m dancing aren’t I” raising my brow at her, she got a mischievous gleam in her eye “ I don’t think you have it in you, I think your too chicken shit, and you don’t want everyone to see how normal the big bad teeny wolf is” my jaw dropped and it looked like Ellie was trying to stifle her laugh and go unnoticed a quick glance in my direction let her know she hadn’t accomplished it.
I looked all around me focused in on the scene and smirked over at Jenna “ challenge accepted” I mock saluted her, and made my way over to the stage where the band seemed to be sitting idle and bored, I whispered in his ear and he shot me a grin, probably relieved he had something to do, it worried me a bit like any old crazy could ask the same and no refusal would be made but that was neither here nor there, I made my way on stage and walked over to the microphone stopping on the way to pick up the violin that I saw on the side, very few people know that I dabbled in instruments, it’s a good training technique, it helps with reflexes and the fluidity of finger movement.
I saw Ellie and Jenna make their way through the crowd intrigued at what I was doing I winked at Jenna before beginning. I played the beginning notes on my violin to ‘Rather Be’ by Clean Bandits featuring Jess Glynne, watching as the crowd stopped in curiosity.
I then started to sing and smiled at Jenna when I saw her mouth drop open, the crowd was in an uproar when the baseline started in along with the techno steady beat, they started moving to the tune, the drums started in and I started to move to the beat getting lost in the melody.
I don’t have a big ego but even I can admit that my voice is good, I truly lost myself to my surroundings and only just noticed the introduction of the piano, I loved the song it was constantly on replay so I knew the composition by heart, my voice was of a similar husky tone to Jess’s I loved the high notes I saw Jenna and Ellie dancing whilst filming me with their phones I indicated with my head for them to come up on stage with me and they grinned and ran over.
It was us three on stage dancing and having fun, the chorus came and they joined in as my back-up singers, they sounded good a definite complimentary factor to my own vocals “ no no no no, no place I’d rather be, no no no no, no place I’d rather be……….” I felt truly free and off guard at the moment forgetting all responsibilities and problems the fact that I didn’t like the pack and couldn’t stand Dean, his royal ‘Alphaness’ and just enjoyed the moment, I went with the rifts and high notes my voice strong, the song was coming to an end I picked back up the violin for the finishing chords ending on a breathless finish, it was quiet for a second before a thundering round of applause, I blushed not used to this kind of attention and took a bow before I was ambushed by two sets of arms “oh my gosh you sly dog, you never let on that you could sing you were amazing” she laughed Ellie chimed in “wow, is there anything you can’t do? ” I chuckled at her “ well I can’t pat my head and rub my stomach at the same time, and I can never reach anything on the second shelf of all the cupboards, and I can’t seem to watch Disney films without welling up” I said, causing all three of us the crack up as we made our way of stage.
We walked over to the bar and proceeded to get wasted. I was feeling entirely too happy at the moment and I had a feeling that the others had planned it that way, the guys had yet to make an appearance but that wasn’t surprising for guys they tended to make dramatic entrances, and if I knew the twins they would have scored for the night already, so we wouldn’t be seeing them, I was just calling the bartender over for another round of drinks, when someone seemed to fall on top of me, feeling the weight extracted I looked to see what had happened, a guy about 6ft 2, blonde hair, brown eyes, had an apologetic look on his face “ I’m really sorry about that, seems people are more than eager to get liquored up than I am, how about I buy you a drink to show there is no harm done” he shot me a smile that on most females would have them melting inside, I took a closer look at him and whilst he had a good looking figure and was nothing short of eye candy, he held no interest for me whatsoever.
“Hey don’t worry about it, I’m good” I made to turn away from him when I felt my hair being yanked back, I spun as quick as I could and took in the scene, seems the idiot had failed to mention he had a mate or what looked to be a jealous girlfriend while in the process of offering me a drink, I would have just brushed it off and tried to alleviate her jealousy if she hadn’t tried to swing for me again, there is only so much my wolf can take especially against an unprovoked attack.
I dodged her fist and wrapped my hand around her wrist drawing it around and holding it tight in place behind her back to limit her movement and stop her from moving. “ get off me you bitch, I’m going to rip your fucking head off, he’s mine you slut” it was almost comical that she thought she could take me especially considering the position that she was in, the rush of adrenaline that spiked in me seemed to give me a clear head a push the haze of alcohol away for the time being, glancing around I noticed that a crowd had gathered and more than one female was making their way over to me probably her back up, I couldn’t see Ellie or Jenna anywhere, ‘looks like it’s just you and me Nia’ I grinned I felt her growl lowly inside me. I pushed the girl off of me.
“You’re the one with the cheating scumbag of a mate and you’re coming at me” disbelief tinged my voice, I couldn’t never understand why females felt the need to be so narrow minded when it came to their significant others like the sun rose and set on their command, with her cronies behind her, her confidence seemed to rise, it was me against the three of them, I smirked over and drew myself up, my size is what leads a lot of people to underestimate me, and think irrationally, they all lunged at the same, ‘cowards’ I thought to myself, I dodged to the right and smashed my face as hard as I could into the girl coming at me and she crumpled to the ground, turning I wasn’t quick enough to deflect the hit that bitchface threw but I managed to shrug it off and deliver one of my own, whilst swiping my leg out and pitching her to the floor, she clumsily took her friend down, and taking advantage of her equilibrium I socked her friend in the face knocking her out cold.
I looked over at bitchface and she seemed to be collecting herself but didn’t seem like much of a threat I looked on at her in disgust, peering up I caught her mates look of disgust and it angered me, no one seemed to respect the confines of their mated relationship these days, it’s a disgrace, I walked over to him sashaying my hips to keep him distracted before drawing back my fist and cracking him on the jaw, bringing up my knee as hard as I could I connected it with his little baby maker, in every literal sense of the word. I shot a look over at bitchface and saw the look of rage reflected on her face “I probably just did you a favour, “if he can’t keep it in his pants for you, he shouldn’t be able to whip it out for anyone else”
I saw Jenna and Ellie had gathered at the edge of the crowd and my way over to them, “hey where were you guys” I said confused, they were looking at me with wide eyes “ we left you alone for 5 minutes, 5 minutes Kadie” she sounded exasperated by had an amused glint in her eyes.
“We went to get the guys, with all the shifters in here they couldn’t get a proper fix on where we were” I nodded in understanding as I saw the guys making their way over, and the strangest sensation seemed to come over me, like a mysterious pull was drawing me over to them I looked up and an intoxicating scent seemed to wash over and consume me, I tried to hone in on where the scent was coming from, so distracted in my surroundings that I didn’t notice Jenna’s wide eyes or their screams of protest as I felt something hitting my head and my body faltering to the ground before two strong arms captured me, whilst sparks shot up and lit my whole body on fire, I stared into the ocean deep blue eyes of Skylar and felt at home ‘Mate’ both Nia and I whispered before succumbing to the dark.
