Mate?

Chapter 14: Party

Rafael's POV

So I'm currently taking a sip, of god knows what, all I know is that it's in a red cup and that it tasted pretty good. It does have a nice kick to it, so I'm pretty sure it has some liquor in it. I swished the cup around before taking another sip and scanning the make-shift dance floor. I inhaled deeply but smelled nothing. I sighed and leaned back onto the wall and kept on scanning the room.

I had asked Rachel if she wanted to come to the party, I mean it is her birthday too. But she just said that she had to much to do and all this other type of crap. Which is most likely a lie, that woman has no life. Well it doesn't really seem like it, most of the time.

But anyway, the main reason I made this party was to see if my mate showed up. Which so far I haven't felt anything towards anyone, smelled anything that makes me want to drop everything and find where the smell is coming from.

I let out a sigh, finally giving up on looking for my mate on the dance floor and head over to the crowded kitchen to find some kinda of snack. This really wasn't much of a birthday party, if you think about it. It was more of a 'lets get drunk' party more than anything. Which I didn't mind at all, the more people the better.

I was trying to press through the crowed bodies in the kitchen, when I smelled something like chocolate with an orange twist. It was so sweet, yet sour that I had to just follow it. Thinking it was my mate, no scratch that, hoping it was my mate.

I shoved my way through the crowd feeling a sudden burst of adrenaline. I dropped the cup in my hand and feel my heart speed up as I smell the sweet fragrance getting stronger. My wolf was practically howling inside me trying to will me to go faster, we couldn't wait to find the source of the smell.

But when I found it, I was disappointed to say the least. She was one of the pack whores, she was the one that picked on Rachel to be specific. She turned her head and looked me in the eyes. That's when it clicked in my mind. 'Mate'. I let out a low growl.

Rachel thought she was unlucky.

The only reason that I found this weird is that I didn't feel an attraction towards her. Yet her scent stuck out. I frowned. How could this be possible? Her scent stuck out but I didn't feel like going over there and wrapping my arm around her at all. In fact, I wanted to just turn around and leave.

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I hadn't noticed she had walked over to me.

"Hey babe." she whispered in my ear 'seductively'. I didn't want her but I didn't want to reject her and break her wolf.

"Hey." was all I said.

"Why don't we go upstairs and have some fun?" She asked trailing her fingers down my chest. Well, whorish much? I grabbed her hand and pushed it back towards her body, yet I felt no sparks.

"I'd love to but umm I'm needed outside. Yeah I have to go bye." I said quickly and left her dumbfounded. Oh god that was very odd.

I got out of the kitchen and was very thankful she hadn't followed me, then walked over to a group of my friends. As I got closer I realised that they were picking on someone. Which made me furious, why are they like that? That's just stupid and obnoxious. Of course I never say anything because even though they're just a bunch of jerks they're cool to hang out with, well once you get to know them.

I heard small yelps and pleas as I got closer, frowning when I saw what they were doing. I picked my pace up and noticed they were picking on this small nerdy guy named 'Adam' I think. He was a massive nerd and had dorky glasses and you know just like a nerd would. But he was so nice and kind and would never hurt someone. I couldn't just let my friends best him up even more.

"Hey guys why don't you just leave him alone and enjoy the party?" I stated more than asked. They turned around and looked at me.

"But we're enjoying ourselves and this thing decided to show up. So we'll get rid of him for you." I shook my head and looked back up at them, and waved my hand in the air.

"Don't worry, I'll get rid of him you just go and enjoy yourselves." They laughed evilly and mumbled a few 'your gonna wish you never came here' and stuff like that. I walked over to the poor boy.

And reached my hand out for him. But he only flinched. He's scared, well who wouldn't be if they were in his situation. I sighed and crouched down and looked at him, which was kinda hard since he was curled up in a small ball.

"Hey I won't hurt you I promise. Just trust me." I said softly and he stopped shaking, well only a little. He looked up at me with beautiful emerald green eyes.

"I'm sorry" he whispered before frantically getting up. And dusting himself off a little, his hands were still shaking though.

"Sorry? For what? You haven't done anything bad to me." I said and tried to help him up, for a werewolf he was pretty weak. But he jerked back before I could help him any further.

"I shouldn't of come here this isn't my type of place to go." He said as he was about to leave, but I couldn't let him leave. I reached out and grabbed his wrist. That's when I felt little sparks go through me. Not like a shock but like something warm. Almost like a warm ripple of water with something else. Something else that made it feel ten times better, I just wanted to keep holding him.

He let out a gasped and tried to ripped his wrist away from my hand but he wasn't strong enough.

I got a better hold of him and pulled him into me just to where our chest were barely touching. And looked at him and he looked up at me too. Our eyes stayed on each other's for a few moments, but felt like eternity. And there was one, and only one, word running through my mind.

Mate.

My wolf was howling and running around and around in circles. Wait, what? I thought I had already found my mate? But how can this be?

But to be honest, don't really know or care, all I know is that this shy, nerdy boy in front of me is the one I want. Not that whore.

Wait but does this mean I'm... Gay?

*****************************

So there's another chapter I hoped you liked it and give me your thoughts about the whole Rafael situation. Do you think he should choose the whore or the nerd? Oh and the picture on the side or wherever you see it, is Adam. Okay so bye loves
