The Young Mate

Chapter 9 (Edited)

Lila

I was woke up this morning at 8 and was told about a party tonight. It was a pack thing I guess. Also since I am an Alphas mate I have to go. I love my dress though. I get to wear kitten heels too!

(Janes Dress⬆⬆)

That's all Landon would allow. We spent a bunch of time on our hair. I didn't want to wear a hunch of make up so I put on some lip gloss and was ready to go. It was only about 45 minutes to drive there. We got there fairly quickly. We had to get there early so there was no one there. Jane and I decided to explore the place. It's huge. After all it is a castle.

All the door knobs were made of gold and so was the trim. Pretty hand made paintings were everywhere. Every now and then we saw a big scary dude but the didn't say anything to us. They just smiled as we speed walked by. Then after a while we bored.

"Do you wanna see if maybe we can find like the kitchen or something." I ask Jane.

"Sure why not?" We turned around to go back downstairs. But we were stopped by there being a person there. We looked up and you would never guess who it was. Jenna. Perfect.

"Well I didn't expect you two to be up here." She slurred her words a little. Her pink lip gloss was smudged at the corners of her lips and her hair was a bit tangled.

"Are you drunk already?" I blurted out.

"No. Even if I was it wouldn't be any of your business." She snarled. We took a step back.

"Whatever just move." Jane tried to walk past but Jenna shoved her back roughly.

"No." Jane started fuming but I grabbed her arm to hold her back.
"That's right care for your lesbo friend. Give it time you'll come out to." She said to me. I frowned but didn't say anything.

"She has a mate you know you skankish whore." Jane growled. I could tell she was about to flip out.

"Oh I know. That doesn't mean she can't be a little faggot like you." She took a hold of my arm and shoved me back too. But I fell. I felt blood trickled from my elbow. Jane took a step in front of me as her nails became sharp.

"Wow. Real low. Picking on kids. A new low for bitches like you." I heard a new voice say. I looked over my shoulder and saw a very pregnant woman. She is tall and curvy with pretty curly hair. It's funny too cause she has a navy dress too.

"Who are you?" Jenna said gulping a bit. The other woman is bigger than Jenna and, even though she's pregnant, could kick her booty.

"I'm that one person you don't wanna f*ck with. Now get your skinny ass outta here before I kick it." The woman took a step forward. Jenna didn't say anything as she turned and walked away. Jane helped me up and i dusted my dress off.

"Thank you for that." I said putting my hand over my elbow. It was still bleeding.

"Come on let me take care of that." She gestured to the cracked door a few feet from her. "My name is Carmen by the way." Jane and I introduced ourselves. She had me sit on the sink so she wouldn't have to bend down. She patched me up really quickly.

"Your really good at that." I commented when she threw away some trash.

"I have a lot of experience in patching up cuts." She said with a sad smile. She must be a nurse or something. "Let's go back to the party, okay?" We started walking down in silence. "Who was that anyways?" She asked out of no where.

"A girl that hate me because she can't have my mate." I grinned wickedly.

"Wow. Talk about jealousy. I hope your mate won't notice that cut. He'd freak out if he saw that. Trust me."

"I'm guessing that you have a mate?" Jane asked.

"Yep. The human mate of Darren Hawkins."

"Woah! Your human too!" I squealed in excitement. I thought I was the only one.

"Oh cool I'm not the only human." She held out her hand for a high five. I slapped her hand and we laughed.

"Wow. Just leave me out like that." Jane said pouting playfully.

"Soul sisters!" I held my hand up for a fist bump. She did it bashfully.

"I like you two. You remind me of my best friend and I." We walked down the stairs ans she was greeted by a really hot guy. He had big muscles and brown hair. "Speaking of this is Charlie. My best friend and guard." He smiled and winked. Jane swooned while I laughed at her. I like Landon better. He is leaner and his eyes are prettier.

"Lila!" I turned my head and saw Landon making his way over with a handsome blond. The blond attached himself to Carmen's hip. That must be Darren, her mate. Landon took my bandaged elbow and then looked me dead in the eye. "What happened?"

"It was nothing-" I started with a phony story but Jane and Carmen cleared their throats. Carmen did her best to lean down next to my ear.

"Secrets and lies kill relationships. No matter how careful you are, you will get caught." Her voice was so low I could barely hear her. She stood straight and I nodded.

"I can tell you late. Let's not spoil the night." I pulled his arm to the floor where people were dancing. The minute we stepped on it a slow song played. I recognized it as Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton. It's one of Beth's favorite songs. She plays it all the time when she's cleaning the house.

"Do you know how to slow dance cause I don't." Landon said as we took our place.

"I may have been forced to take ball room dancing in 6th grade." I smirked and took his hand. I put his right hand on my left hip and my left arm on his right shoulder. Then I intertwined my right hand with his hand and started swaying to the music. I eventually put my feet on top of his so he just copied what I did. I barely remembered how to dance but he just followed me. This is what I expected to be the best night of my life.
