Chapter 2 Date Night

Dee helps Bethanie get ready for her friend date with her 'mate' and had her hair and makeup done by some stylists from the pack. She got dressed in her outfit. It was an emerald green pant suit with a light yellow cami to go under her jacket. She did not have earrings or necklace to with the outfit as she did not think about this but Dee knew that her mate was taking care of this part.

He told Dee what colors he wanted his fire cracker to wear and she did just that.

"Beth you look fabulous I can't wait for you to see him he looks amazing too. Come down stairs when you get your shoes on and I will meet you there. Good luck tonight."

"Thanks, I just feel like I am cheating on my boyfriend by doing this. I am only doing this because you are my friend and he's your brother-in-law."

Bethanie left her room and started to head down the hall to the stair case. She was standing at the top when he looked up after Conall and Mathe coughed and moved their eyes up. He was in awe at how beautiful his mate looked. He was holding a box behind his back when she started descending the stairs. She looked at him and her breath caught in her throat.


She could not believe how handsome he looked in his black suit with emerald green tie and pale yellow shirt that matched her cami and pants suit. She looked over at Dee and she had a grin that covered her entire face. Right then Bethanie knew this was planned to have matching attire.

She meets her 'mate' at the bottom of the stairs and he takes her hand in his and she feels something weird going up her hand. She feels electricity moving throughout her body and removes her hand quickly out of his. He looks at her with a big grin and a twinkle in his eye as he felt the same thing she did.

"I notice you don't you have any jewelry on. Did you forget to purchase some?"

"Oh, yeah we did as we were in a hurry to get back, sorry."

"Darling don't worry, here I got this for you today when I was out running some errands."

She opened the velvet box appeared inside and saw the most gorgeous emerald and diamond necklace with matching earrings. He helped her put the necklace on as well as the earrings. He kisses her neck after putting the jewels on and sends tingles down her spine. She cannot help but close her eyes and slightly part her lips taking in a slight breath as he gives her little kisses.

Dee knows what is like to have that feeling for the first time and every time the need to be with your mate. The pull of the mate-bond is very strong and undeniable for both parties. To reject it would tear both parties apart if not destroy them until they were able to be mated with another mate. Dee prayed that neither of her friends would not do the to each other.

He takes her to a well known Scottish restaurant outside the pack boarders and into the human town. He took her to an expensive place where they had valet. He walked her inside and told the host they had reservations for two and then shown to their table.

He had already preordered a bottle of sweet red wine, and hors d'oeuvres. The place was romantic with a fire going in the fireplace, flowers setting on the tables, lights dimmed to a glow and candles on the table for just the right lighting to set the mood. There was not much of conversation but a comfortable silence from both of them. Neither one not exactly knowing what to say to each other.

"Bethanie, what do you like to do for fun?" He asks her while sipping on his wine.

"I like going to the gym, having dinner with my girlfriends, spending time with my son. What about you?" She asks her sexy date.

"Movies, fine dining, traveling the world to see the many different cultures and foods. My brothers and I are a bunch of foodies, specially Mathe since he is the chef of the family."

"Do you have any kids?"

"No, I do not have any children except for those that belong to my friends and family here in Scotland."

"How old is Colby? He seems to be a very nice gentleman and was raised properly with values. That means a lot in our family which I see in this world these days does not always hold true for others."

"He is 24 and yes I made sure that he knows how to treat people and women at that. I do not like rude kids let alone adults. So many people in the world today are rude specially kids. I have worked with very young kids his age and they are extremely lazy with no respect for people."

"I see that in our business and lay the law down on them. I tell them if they want a job they better act like it and straighten up or they don't have one the next time."

"You don't put with any crap do you?"

"No ma'am I do not nor do my brothers or their mates."

"This place is amazing, thank you for the evening."

"You are quite welcome. Ready to go?"

"Yes, if you are."

They leave the restaurant and head to a private club for shifters. Bethanie does not know about their kind just yet Dee has not told her anything about them nor has her date. The music is booming inside that can be heard outside with the doors open and security guards standing letting people in. Nobody gets carded since shifters of all kinds can drink when they are 18 and do not have to worry about getting drunk as it takes a lot for them to get intoxicated.

Waking in they see the brothers and most of the pack members. Bethanie walked over to Dee and told her about her date but she noticed someone sitting in a corner with some people, women to be exact. She looked over at the guy and noticed it was her boyfriend siting there a woman on each side hanging on him. He hadn't noticed her yet but she was not happy at all, furious was more like it.
