Midnight Kiss

Chapter 2

"I would love to dance with you," I said taking her hand and walking to the middle of the room. Just then a slow song come. She stretched her arms around my neck. A difficult task as I was 6'4" and she maybe stood at 5'5". I put my hands on her hips and we started swaying to the music.

"So birthday girl. What is your name? Also again, I thought it was just a new years party so I'm sorry for crashing your birthday party," I asked. "You said I was a mysterious cutie, because you didn't know my name, but I don't know yours." I said giving her a twirl and pulling her back to me. I'd have to remember to thank my mom for making me take dance lessons.

"Hey my party, I had a right to know your name." She laughed. Man I wanted to hear her laugh all the time. It was so beautiful. I wished she wasn't human. If she were werewolf she would have insta matched with me too. With humans though it's always hard to tell.

"Bro..she came up to you. Why are you worried about her rejecting you? She's obviously into you! Ask her out!"

"Patrick get out of my head!" I yelled back

"You make it so easy to listen though!" He said laughing. "Congrats on finding your mate though!"

With that I pushed him out. She was going to think I was stupid if I kept spacing out.

"And yes it's my birthday and a new years party since I was born on new years. Midnight on the dot. And I think I'll keep some mystery. Maybe I'll tell you my name later...if you impress me" she said giving me a wink. I spun her out and back to me quickly, dipping us down low.

"How am I doing so far?"

"Pretty damn good" she said breathlessly.

As I pulled her up, people were shouting happy New year. As we danced we completely missed the countdown. "Well happy official birthday" I said pulling her closer to me. She grabbed the back of my head and kissed me. Sparks flew. I deepened the kiss and pulled her tight. I didn't want to ever let her go.

"Aza! Get your tongue out of the strangers mouth. We need to go take care of an emergency!" A short girl with short curly brown hair came up to us and grabbed Aza away from me.

"Dammit Camryn. I wasn't telling this guy my name yet." She said chuckling. Aza still had my hand. I wanted to pull her back to me so bad. Whisk her off to my house and keep her safe and close.

"So it's Aza." I said, "that's beautiful."

She blushed deep.

"Thank you, it's short for Azalea."

"Ugh you can flirt with Mr. Treetop, later!" Camryn exclaimed, "Come on!"

With that my beautiful mate disappeared into the crowd.

Azalea's point of view

"What's the emergency Camryn?! He's fucking hot so it better be good!" I said stopping her

"Don't fucking play innocent Aza. You know as well as I do that he's a werewolf. That's why I grabbed you out of there. I saw the way he looked at you. I know you did too. You know our kind can't be with their kind!"

I hated that she was right. I knew I shouldn't have gone up and talked to him, but man he was so fine. He looked to be 6'4", light sandy brown hair that was spiked in the I just got out of bed look. Dark brown eyes, like chocolate, but with a small ring of gold around the pupil. His muscles poking from his shirt. Man he was driving me crazy. I wanted to jump him so bad. Maybe it was a good thing Camryn pulled me back.

"Earth to Aza!" Camryn said pulling me into my room so we could talk privately.

"Oh come on Camryn! You've flirted, and hell even had sex with a werewolf once!" I said accusing her of being a hypocrite.

"Yeah, but I didn't fall in love with him! We didn't mate! I made sure he didn't even remember me, and I got my ass jumped by the council for it! But I'm pretty sure by the way Thomas was looking at you that you guys mated! I had to stop you before you made it worse"

"Why is it such a bad thing again for us to date werewolves?" I knew the answer. It was more of a just speaking out loud thing

"Come on Aza, I know he's hot. You can find a hot human guy though. Witches and werewolves just can't be together. It's been that way since the original peace treaty. Their great whatever grandmother promised not to kill us if we promised "not to make their men fall in love with us". If we break the treaty who knows what will happen. That shit got signed in blood with magic."

"Ugh!" I said falling back on my pillow. "Just because some witch broke one of her son's hearts by rejecting him, all of us have to suffer?"

"Sucks to suck" Camryn replied

"So. Did you feel anything toward him or am I off about thinking he mated with you?" She asked laying down next to me.

Camryn is my best friend, ever since we were put in the same class in second grade. She knew everything about me. Just as I knew all about her. She always told me the truth too. Even when I didn't want to hear it. Like right now.

"I don't know. I saw him and I just felt like I had to go talk to him. I thought it was cause he was hot and I wanted to know why he was at my party. But I feel like we really connected. Man the way we spun around the dance floor. And when he dipped me..and that kiss was wow."

"Did you feel sparks?" She asked, "not like mentally, but actual sparks when you touched? My cousin, on dads side so not a witch, mated with a werewolf. She told me she felt sparks when they touched and a couple other stuff. Later she found out she wasn't supposed to tell me anything and then I stopped hearing from her really. So sparks or not?" She asked again

"Yeah, I felt sparks" I said mumbling hoping she wouldn't hear me.

"Well shit" she said
