Aiden'sPOV
It's been a month since I found out about Maverick. Almost every day I would go over and play with Maverick, but almost every time, at around 8 o'clock, Scarlett would shoo me out as quick as possible, and I never understood why. It was another long day of training the pups. We were trying to get them trained and strong as soon as possible because of the rouge that was spotted on out border about a month ago. I was about to leave the pack house, when my Alpha, Scott stopped me.
"Hey Aiden" he began "Tonight is my birthday and Chase and I were planning on going out to the strip club near here. You should come"
"Oh, um.... Sure" I replied reluctantly. I had absolutely no desire to watch a bunch of random girls strip, but it was my Alpha's birthday, and we have been best friends for as long as I could remember, I couldn't let him down.
"Great. We will meet you there at 9," Scott said
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walked into the club at exactly nine. The music was so loud I could barely hear myself think. It smelled like beer and smoke. This is exactly why I don't come to places like this. Girls in nothing but skimpy thongs walked around serving drinks and dancing. I spotted Scott and my Beta, Chase, and quickly made my way over to them.
It was 9:15 and we were standing by a small table near the bar. Neither Scott nor Chase had a mate and I couldn't tell them I did since Scarlet was human and didn't know herself. We played drinking games for about 20 minutes when I turned around because I smelled Scarlet. Was she here with friends? why would she be at a strip club? All of the sudden I saw her step onto the bar in a very exposing outfit showing off her marks. I growled causing her to turn around and look at me. Scott and Chase easily picked up on my thoughts through the mind- link and pulled Scarlet down. My wolf was almost at the surface. They are touching her! I ran over to them and grabbed Scarlett from them. I took off my jacket and covered her up with it, and dragged her outside. My wolf was not happy, and I was fighting to keep him under control. My eyes began to glow, and my teeth began to lengthen. I was probably scaring her.
"What the hell do you think you are doing??" I growled
"What does it look like?" She spat angrily with a scowl on her face. "I'm working" What?? My mate was a stripper??!!
"Why?" I asked
"Because it's the only job that would pay enough. I never had time to go to college after having Maverick" she replied, still annoyed.
"Well quit" I shouted angrily. My wolf was trying to take over and Scarlett looked terrified especially because she had no idea I was a werewolf.
"Excuse me?" She said in disbelief "Did you just tell me to quit my job??!! How the hell am I supposed to take care of Maverick then, not to mention paying the bills. I can't just quit my job because you SAID SO."
"Move in with me then" I said quietly
"Aiden, I can't do that. Especially not to Maverick. What happens when this is all over and you kick me out? Where do I go from there. I can't just rely on you, because one day you will get bored with me and leave" she said, getting sadder and looking more insecure by the second. She pulled my jacket closed around her to cover up her lack of clothing. "I get that the idea of having a stripper as a girlfriend is pretty bad, and if you don't want some stripper as a girlfriend, then let me know now okay? Don't spare my feelings"
"Scarlett, I could never get bored of you. You are so beautiful. Your smile could light up someone's day, and just being around you makes me feel special. And the way you are with Maverick? It scares me, because it makes me want thins that I never thought about before. It makes me want to commit. It makes me want to have a family. With you." I said sincerely. I realized that, yes, I really did love this girl. I had fallen so hard and fast that it scared me.
Tears began welling up in her eyes "But, how could you ever date someone like me. For fuck's sake, I take off my clothes for a living. How could you want someone like that?"
"It's not the fact that you are a stripper that bothers me. I just hate the fact that other guys besides me get to see my ma- girlfriend take off her clothes. That's something that I should see. And only me" I almost called her my mate. I have to tell her everything soon.
"Still-" she began with tears streaming down her face. I cut her off by pulling her into my arms, and crushing her in a hug, while whispering sweet nothings into her ear, hoping they she understood just how much I cared for her.
