53. Party And Distractions

The dining hall of pack house was filled with new faces. The warriors from other packs had arrived to aid the Marshville's pack against Dimitri. Marley also recognized some familiar faces from her hometown, Crestfield.

Iosif had warned his brother would be here soon. The waiting time was only a few days and everyone was getting ready.

A get-together was organized to welcome them. With everything being so grim for the past few days, a small party was arranged.

The gathering was mostly attended by the younger crowd, whereas the adults chose to have their own noise-free get together at Markus' place—their pack's elder warrior. So basically, the pack house was hosting a high school or a college party for werewolves.

Maroon 5 was playing in the background, lights were dimmed, drinks were being passed around, and people were laughing and dancing, enjoying themselves.

"I think I royally fucked my exams," Sanjay said, slurping his drink.

"They are over and hence need not be discussed," Marley replied, gulping down the drink in her glass.

The humans were standing against the kitchen counter, sipping on their cold drinks. From time to time, they greeted and mixed with others—most of which was initiated by Sanjay—before coming back to their favorite spot and refilling their food supplies.

"Fine, as you wish Alpha Queen," Sanjay mocked, picking up chips from the bowl and shoving them in his mouth. He looked around and sighed when his eyes didn't find the person he was looking for. "When are they coming? Aren't the hosts supposed to be at their own party?" He asked grumpily.

Marley shrugged in response, knowing he was talking about Oliver and Eden. She too missed her mate, and his absence only intensified when she saw other couples kissing and dancing. The Alpha and the Beta were with Thea and Hunter at the other corner of house discussing some pack things.

An hour ago, Marley had waited for Eden inside his room, but when he didn't show up, she decided to come downstairs and join the party with Sanjay. Her friend was also in the same predicament, waiting for Oliver.

She was dressed in a full sleeve black floral top and a high waist denim skirt that reached till her mid-thighs, an outfit which showed little more legs than the clothes she was used to wearing. It also had taken more than a rational amount of time to get the make-up done.

All this effort for one person. It did make her upset that the guy whom she had dolled up for wasn't even here and spending time with other people—including the girl he had lost his virginity to...

Marley hadn't met Thea and Hunter yet. Since her return from school she had been busy with helping her housemates in making arrangements for the new arrivals. She didn't get the chance to meet Thea and Hunter, who as soon as they turned up locked themselves inside the office with Eden and Oliver.

"Do you want to dance?" Sanjay asked, finishing his glass too. "I don't want to wait for an asshole who is having a freaking orgy without me."

"That's quite an exaggeration." Marley chuckled. "But yeah, let's dance." There was no point in moping for her mate.

They tossed their glasses in the nearby bin and hit the dance floor, which was at the centre of the hall. Their moves involved uncoordinated jerking of hands, head and legs, and also bumping into others.

"Stop stepping on my feet," Sanjay reprimanded Marley with a laugh.

"Stop putting your feet under my heels." She grinned and rested her hands on his shoulders, making him hold her waist. They danced and laughed cynically at their own shenanigans.
