Midnight Kiss

Chapter 3

"Come on Camryn. Maybe it's not so bad. I mean I still have a year before my powers come. I'm only 17 now. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to date him for a bit? The pact only says witches right? Well aren't I technically not a witch yet?"

"Azalea, no. Come on you can't. You'll ruin him. They like die or something if their mates leave them. You'd only make it worse if you got his hopes up."

"What am I supposed to do then?" I asked in defeat. "If he already mated with me it's going to kill him if I leave or ignore him. I don't want that on my hands."

"Oh so you want us killed for breaking the treaty?!" She yelled at me. "Azalea if we break the treaty, which you would be doing if you dated him, then their elders are going to come and kill all of us. Do you want another blood war on your hands?!"

I sat defeated.

"No" I said laying down and curling into a ball.

"Come on. No crying on your birthday. I'll get them to leave. You need to go back to your party.

"I'm going to drink. Lots. And hopefully forget him" I told her. She just smiled and said of course. Grabbing two jello shots we both shot them back and went to the dance floor.

"I don't see him. I guess he left?" Camryn said

"I felt sad, but it was for the best."

The rest of the night was shot after shot. Camryn and I always got each other drunk on our birthdays, ever since we turned 15 (ssh don't tell our parents). And since my birthday was new years it meant no school or parents. They flew out on holidays at this time of year, it made me sad they didn't want me going, but they wanted me to be very independent. And I always got to throw a rager of a party so I guess it's not too bad.

Around 2 am I met up with Audrey. Her and I had a couple classes together and were friendly, but we weren't that close. She was a werewolf so I couldn't share too much of my life with her.

"Happy birthday girl!" She said hugging me.

I was very drunk at this point, but still not blacked out so I hugged her back extra

"Thanks for coming!" I yelled

"Hey so what did you think of Thomas? I saw you two dancing earlier, and share a kiss if I'm not mistaken" She said nugging me playfully.

"Oh yea he's so hot!" I told her *shut up!* my brain told myself but my mouth seemed to loose control.

"But I can't date him. I'm not looking for anything right now. He's not my type either even if he is hot" I lied

"Oh nonsense! He's perfect for you! Go talk to him some more!" She said pushing me towards him as he walked through the front door

"Heyyyy you're back" i said stumbling into him

His strong arms caught me. I wanted to stay here forever.

No bad Aza.

"Yea sorry had to take care of one of my guys. He passed out drunk. Which looks like what you're about to do." He said concerned

Utoh did I make him mad?

"Yea sorry Camryn always gets me drunk on my birthday and I do for her too it's tradtion" I said slurring more sliding into his arms

"How about we get you some water?" He said

"Otay" I said trying to walk, but I was unsuccessful and ended up stumbling. Luckily he caught me

"You're so strong" I said rubbing my hand on his muscle bicep.

I felt him chuckle and hold me up closer to his chest.
