Hooking Up with The Beta

What Happens in Zen...

Twenty minutes later, our limo pulls up in front of Club Zen! The place is packed with beautiful and rich smelling wolves! All five girls are now impatiently waiting for our favorite alcoholic beverages by one of the club's 4 trendy bars.

Glancing around, I can't help but notice that the place is packed with both mated and unmated werewolves. Club Zen has three different dance floors and all three are packed with happy and beautifully dressed people dancing to the latest top 100 songs on the billboard! The main dance floor looks like a carefully glamorized jungle full of alluring male and female werewolves to gratify their need to dance and behave wildly.

Thirty minutes later, I've lost Veronica and the twins to the dance floors. I found myself alone with Kate who has been behaving more and more like a mother as the minutes fly by! My face scrunches as her judgments get harsher! In a desperate attempt to break her icy and hard exterior, I do something I never thought I would have done. I stand up, take a big gulp of her drink, and pull Kate with me to the closest dance floor five steps down from our table. After much protesting from Kate, she finally cools down and lets the music move her body just like everyone else. As all of us are moving to the beat, it is quite clear that not only we can't dance for our dear lives but we also all need some dance therapy.

As I let a particularly enticing rhythm sway me, I feel someone right behind me. Without turning, I apologize and move a few steps away. After a few seconds, the same thing happens again! This time, the contact is more impactful as I feel two hands grabbing my waist and pulling me backward into...

"OMG! Do I know you?!" I yell over my shoulder.

"No, but if you turn around, you might know me better..."

I turn around preparing to give whoever he is a piece of my mind when I am hit with a very powerful alpha aura! He was a male! A powerful male with a magnetic force field the size of a rocket taking off! And oh my goodness, he is surreally gorgeous! He is sinfully good looking! It's just plain unfair! Caught by surprise, I stare at him then take a few steps back as I bow my head slightly to him.

"Alpha! I'm sorry if I've stepped too close to..." waving his hands, he cut me off, effectively stopping me in mid-sentence.

"Please don't apologize! And please don't... actually, I've bumped into you on purpose..."

"Oh! What?"

Before I can say anything more, he reaches for my forearms and motions me towards a private seating area. It's a private VIP seating area reserved for Alpha, Betas, and Deltas only. That means I can only step there by invitation. I look around but the girls are too busy with their dance steps to pay attention to me. After a few seconds of internal debate, curiosity gets the best of me and I follow him there with very little hesitation.

"Much better, don't you think?" he asks, leaning towards me.

"Yes! The music level is tolerable here and I can speak without yelling!" He nods as he stares at me. I can't help but ask myself what I'm doing at his table. As if reading my mind, he smiles and says "My name is Kris with a K. I'd love to buy you a drink!"

Now that I am seated at a very comfortable spot with a more glamorous view of the club, I've found myself easily seduced by his offer. The music and the people seem to be a bit remote and this stranger offering to buy me a drink is impossibly irresistible.

"Sure! I'd love to! My name is Eva by the way..."

"Eva is a beautiful name and it suits you well!" I blush and thank him.

"I was thinking the same about your name as well..."

"That... it suits me well or that it is beautiful?"

"That... it handsomely suits you!" he laughs heartily as he throws his head backward. He's even managed to make that mundane gesture look sexy! I hate how gorgeous he is! I hate how sexy he looks... he radiates pure sensuality! Oh gosh, this is unbearable! He is too good looking for my own security!

"Where is your mate?" what is wrong with me? I found myself regretting the words coming out of my mouth as I am asking him.

"I'm here alone... if I had a mate or a girlfriend, she would have been here by my side... do I satisfy your curiosity in that department?" he says with a serious look.

I guess that answer has taken him out of the players and cheaters list!

I look down at the table in embarrassment.

"What about you?" he reaches for my hands and directs my attention to his yummy face!

"Alone... still unmated. Just here for some dance therapy before attending this year's Lunar Mating Reception back home." He doesn't say anything! He just smiles and nods. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that last part...

It's nearly 3 am when the girls and I make our way back to our penthouse suite. We all rush to our respective bedrooms.

Sometime after 11 am, a huge bouquet of flowers is delivered to our room! It was from Kris with a K. It came with a handwritten note:

It was truly a delight meeting you last night! Would you spare 2 more days in my company? I'd love to know you a little more.

- Kris with a K.
