The Shy Mate

Chapter 4

** This is Ali's outfit **

Ali's favourite thing about going out was getting ready, she loved getting herself pampered. She took a nice long shower when they were done putting all the groceries away, she shaved her legs, put on a face mask and while that dried she did her hair. She styled her hair wavy, just the way she liked it and did her makeup, adding a bit more than she usually would. Once she was ready to get dressed she walked into Jessi's room with her bags because she didn't know what she should wear and she needed her friend to help her pick out something from al the new things she had bought earlier in the day.

"Okay show me what you were thinking of wearing." So Ali took out all the clothes. She had this beautiful gold sequence mini dress, a see-through skin-tight shirt and she wanted to pair with a pink faux-leather mini skirt and a really sexy deep V-neck tank-top that she got to wear with her favourite mini black leather skirt. "Alright, so the dress I love but it's too much for where we are going tonight, so that's out. Now the black tank it to die for so I think you should go with that one."

"And wear it with my black leather skirt that I got last year right?"

"Yeah that's supper sexy! Okay no go! Get dressed we need to get to the club early enough so we don't have to wait forever to get in." And that's what Ali did, she went back to her room and got dressed, she decided to pair her outfit with the new pair of black peep-toe pumps that wrapped around her calf, that she got today. Once she had them on she was ready to go so she walked out to the living room and waited for the other to be ready. As soon as she turned on the TV Frank walked out of his room and saw her.

"You wearing that?"

"Yeah why?"

"Well it's awfully revealing..." Ali laughed at her best friend, he was like a big brother, always worried that guys would attack her, he was overly protective of her. What Ali didn't know is that Frank started having feelings for when they were about 14 and they grew the closer they got. He didn't have the guts to tell her, because he knew that she didn't feel the same way about him and would have hurt him too much to get rejected.

"Okay bitches let's go party! The Uber should be here any second" Jessi said coming out of her room. "Wow Frank you clean up nice! I'm impressed I never thought I'd ever see you out of those god awful jeans you insist on wearing all the time."

"Don't insult my jeans, they look great on me and you know it, you just can't admit it to yourself." Jessi scoffed, yeah no those jeans were seriously appalling.

They arrived at the club at 11:00 PM which was good because about 15 min after they got there the line filled up really fast. They got into the club around 30 minutes after they had arrived, this club looked like a really cool place and thanks to Jessi, who was a sweet talker, they were able to get a great table. The club quickly started to fill up and it soon became hard to move passed people. The three best friends were having a great time when Jessi went outside for a quick smoke. Maneuvering past all the people she was able to make it outside without having any drinks spilled on her. Leaning against the brick wall she took out a cigarette and lit it up, she closed her eyes a little enjoying the fresh air, the club had been really stuffy.

"Jess?" Her eyes shot open "Jessi is that you?" She looked to see where the voice was coming from and she found the person who it belonged to, her best friend's little sister.

"Connie oh my gosh! You've grown so much! How have you been?" Jessi going over to her old friend and giving her a quick hug.

"I'm great! Why didn't you tell us you were back? Are you even coming back to us, to the pack?"

"Honestly I'm still not sure but I was planning on telling your father know whatever my decision was going to be, I don't want to cause any trouble."

"Don't be ridiculous, you should come back! We would love to have you back! We were all so sad to see you go 4 years ago. Marcus was the saddest of all of us. You know he's here tonight actually! He'll be so happy to see you!" and as if he had known his sister was talking about him Marcus Cole walked into view.

"Connie! There you are! I've been looking for you! What are yo- Jessi?"

"Hey Marcus" Jess said meekly she even gave him a small kind of pathetic wave and before she knew it she was scooped in his arms. Marcus had been her best friend when she use to live here, they would do everything together. See Jessi was a werewolf, she came from a long line of high ranking werewolves and growing up most people thought she and Marcus were mates but Marcus, being 4 years her senior, right before her mother's death he turned 18 and they found out that they were not meant to be together romantically and honestly Jessi was happy about that, she loved Marcus but as a brother, not romantically.

While all this was happening outside, Ali was also feeling quite suffocated and she needed to get some fresh air as well, so she turned to let Frank know and noticed he was dancing with a random girl so she just pointed at the exit door to let him know she was going outside for a minute. She struggled to make her way out but managed and as soon as the cool air hit her face she finally felt like she could breathe clean air. She quickly spotted her best friend, who seemed to be having a conversation with two people she did not recognize, and made her way to her.

"Hey Jess!" She said once she reached them "who are your friends." She added when she noticed the beautiful man her best friend was talking to. She looked him in the eyes and he did something rather odd, she seemed to sniff the air and in what sounded like a growl he said "mate".
