Chapter 3 Not you !

Mich had found nothing better than to organize a party in his cabin to avoid admitting his feelings to Annie. And since I'm the one who got him into this mess, I had to help him organize it and invite as many people as possible. I pull out my phone and text all our contacts.

I don't text Alex, it would ruin everything, right now his relationship with some of my friends is tense. Planning a party in two hours? What a jerk that one is. I go to the cellar to look for some wine, Michael always had good taste in alcohol, the worst thing is that he doesn't even consume it.

Tons of bottles of alcohol are arranged by brand. I choose a few of his best bottles that I take back to the lounge. There is already a lot of people, the party has already started. To make matters worse, Laurie is there too! Who invited her? I thought I could have fun here quietly but even that is impossible. As soon as she sees me Laurie comes up to me and hangs on my neck.

<< Baby, I've been looking for you. >>

She gets me drunk, seriously, she's so... clingy. I take her hands off my neck and turn to sit down. I pick up a glass of juice on the way.

My favorite, yeah I'm the only guy at a party who drinks juice, it would be nice to say it's mango. I love this fruit in all its forms. Mich sees me and he smiles. The reason, the image people have of me is different from who I really am. I sip my drink, fiddling with my phone.

I go into my messages, not knowing why I stop at Penelope's name. I smile at the thought of knowing I'm going to write to her.

- Calvin: Hi Peni.

- Penelope: Hi, you big jerk. I smile before I answer her, she is the only one who talks to me so badly.

- Calvin: Always so polite, tell me.

- Penelope: I'm only polite to people who deserve it. - Calvin: So I don't deserve it?

- Penelope: What do you think?

- Calvin: You're coming to the party tonight.

- Penelope: Maybe I am. You want to see me?

- Calvin: No, I just want to check out your bimbo breasts.

And indeed she has quite an attractive chest, she doesn't answer me anymore. Laurie comes and sits on my legs and starts stroking my face.

<< You look so tense... If you want after the party, I could help you relax... >>

She almost makes me want to throw up. Seriously, what was I thinking sleeping with that girl? I must have been really in need these days, there is no other explanation. I look at everything but her, she still risks to bewitch me or something like that, she could be excited, my inner wolf who recently is in need of feminine warmth growls.

She waddles her ass on my thighs, my inner wolf appreciates. But what is he doing? He must feel that I don't want her, right? But after all, animals are like people. They jump on anything that moves. My pocket starts to vibrate, at least my phone, new message from Penelope.

- Penelope: Don't tell me you're planning to see my chest with that turkey waddling on your thighs... I look up, my eyes anchored to hers. She has just entered with her friend Annie, she is beautiful. I smile.

-Calvin: Don't tell me you're jealous...

- Penelope: No... You're just a sight to behold.

She turns and mingles with the people at the party, they even brought another bottle to Mich.

These humans and their kindness. When Laurie sees Penelope she intensifies her little ride, caress here, hug there. I release her from my thighs, I really don't intend to spend the evening with this pain in the ass on my lap. I observe Penelope from afar, I notice at once that she has undone her long hair. It does not happen often then, I am pleasantly surprised. She wears a mini skirt in leather, with a red bustier and boots. It is a call to the rape, of back I see very well her bottom which is perfectly emphasized by this skirt. She smiles with Lloyd, the cousin of Mich. She never talks like that with me, always on her guard and wary of any little word that comes out of my mouth. I see Mich chatting with Annie, at least he's trying because right now I just see him babbling. What a wimp that one is! He can fight a lot of vampires, the best warrior in my pack, but he can't talk to a girl.

The door opens on Alex and his campaign. The atmosphere changes immediately. Discussions fade, ever since he expressed his desire to become alpha, people are wary of him. He's my cousin, I can't just turn my back on him. So I kept on acting like nothing was wrong and kept going to him. But everything has changed since then.

<< Alex >> I say, handing him a drink and to his campaign as well. He grabs his glass before answering me.

<< You're having parties now without inviting me? >>

<< I didn't invite you because I knew the mood would be ruined. >>

He frowns and his eyes fill with anger. I hate seeing him when he's like this, we were so close when we were kids and now I don't recognize him at all.

<< What are you implying? >>

<< You know very well what. >>

He grunts as he sticks out his fangs, his wife takes his arm and he tucks them in right away. I'm not afraid of him anyway. I've always been the stronger of the two of us, but to see his totally childish behavior because he wasn't invited to a party makes me drunk.

<< Dare to disrespect your alpha again and I will teach you a lesson. >>

<< You're not fully alpha yet, so you can stick your respect where I think it belongs. >>

I smile, not one of those knowing smiles you get when you're happy. But one of those smiles that a predator gives you before it kills you. My eyes turn red with anger, I'm going to do him, my wolf doesn't appreciate being disrespected at all, so I let him take control, I let him use me to teach Alex a lesson. Suddenly I feel a warm little body slide against mine, he snuggles in and whispers to me.

<< Calm down, he. He's not worth it. >>

I feel my anger subsiding, my wolf instantly calms down as soon as he breathes in that scent and I do too. I feel his warmth through my shirt and his hands so thin that they press against my neck. By reflex my arm is put on his waist, serious error my body is traversed of shivers and I feel immediately the goosebumps covering my body. A lump is formed in my pants. She pushes me a little and drags me in a corner.

<< What's the matter, you big jerk? I thought it would take more than that to make you mad. >>

I look at her without saying anything, still confused by everything this girl makes me feel. What she did was completely stupid, I could have hurt her. Everyone knows that you should never approach a wolf when they are in this state. I stare at her, then my gaze goes down on her chest highlighted by her corset. The red of this garment brings out the brightness of her clear skin. And damn, she has freckles on her chest. She looks down embarrassed.

<< Why do you look down? >>

<< I thought that was what females were supposed to do in the presence of the alpha. >>

<< Not you. >>

She looks at me surprised. I'm surprised at my own answer, I would never allow any other woman to look me in the eye and I would never allow her to talk to me the way she does. But this is Penelope, not just anyone. And it's time for me to admit the attraction I feel for her.
