Chapter 2 She's mine

Ellie and her friends got ready for the club, even though Ellie didn't want to go. Her friends forced her, telling her they wouldn't allow her to stay at home alone.

She wore a black body hug gown, which showed a small part of her upper breast. She was not comfortable wearing the clothes, but she had no choice because Jasmine forced her to wear them.

They went to one of the biggest clubs in the city. They entered and took their seats. The club was loud and full of people that night. It's always like that every night, especially on Fridays.

Quinn, one of Ellie's friends, stood up to go get drinks, while the other two sat and talked. "Don't think about anything. Just enjoy the night." Jasmine said, followed by a wink, but Ellie just sighed. Not long after, Quinn came back with the drinks.

"Why did you get so many drinks?" Ellie asked, looking at the loads of beers on the table.

"How will you drink your sorrow away?" Jasmine replied, smiling. She took one bottle and gave it to Ellie. "But I'm not sad." Ellie pouted her lips before collecting the drink from her. She opened it, drank from it, and dropped it back on the table.

They drank and talked. Ellie did not realize she was already taking her third bottle when Quinn suggested they dance.

They got up and moved to the dance floor. Her head felt heavy. And despite being tipsy, she still kept swaying her waist to the music.

Soon, she bumped into a man. "Oh my. I'm so sorry." The man said, scanning her from head to toe, and licking his lips in a dirty way, but Ellie was too drunk to notice him.

She almost fell, but the man supported her. "Easy there beauty." Without wasting another second, he directed her towards the VIP section of the club.

***

Callum and Alex got to the club. They walked towards the VIP section, where two body-build men were guarding. Without bothering to get their information, the men allowed them to enter at once.

They walked towards an empty couch. Callum ordered martini, while Alex ordered Cosmopolitan. "I do not understand why you insisted coming to the club," Alex said, irritated, especially with the smile Callum was giving him.

"I'm helping you here," Callum replied, but before Alex could answer him back, a lady with an intoxicating perfume approached him.

"Hey, handsome. Can I have a seat?" The lady asked, smiling; her face directed to Alex, but the man just kept having his drink without looking at her.

Noticing this, Callum stood up and answered instead. "Hey, beautiful! It would be rude and stupid to say no, Won't it?" He looked at Alex, who was just looking back at him weirdly. Callum eyed him, and he already knew what he was trying to say, but he only shook his head.

Callum sighed and turned towards the lady. "Are you here alone? I mean, don't you have anyone waiting for you?" He asked impatiently. He just wanted the girl to leave because of her strong perfume, which was almost choking him. And the fact that she's not the one they're looking for.

"No, I'm here with my friends; they're right over there." She replied, pointing towards some ladies who were sitting far away. She waved slightly at them, to which they also waved back.

"Oh, I see. Then, can we meet your friends?" Callum asked.

"Of course, I'll call them over." The girl answered before getting up to call her friends, but she heard the second man, who had been quiet, say, "I don't think there's a need to call your friends; we don't need either you or your friends."

The lady did not say anything because she didn't know what to say. She just kept looking at the man who just talked. "Everything about him is just so handsome; even his voice is making me go crazy." She thought.

Callum sighed, face-palming himself. He knew Alex wasn't interested in having conversation with the lady, but he wasn't expecting him to reply to her rudely. He looked at the lady and noticed that she was lost in thoughts. "Why don't I go and meet your friends instead?" He asked, trying to bring her back to the present.

"Hmm, yes, of course." The lady said, shifting her gaze away from Alex to Callum.

Alex just sat on the chair. He couldn't understand why Callum would think that his mate would be found in a club.

He took his phone out. And in about a minute, he got engrossed that he didn't look towards Callum again. Then suddenly, he saw him stand up from the chair and walk after the lady, but not before he whispered. "This is for you."

He just shook his head in silence and focused back on his phone.

Not long after Callum left, he was still on his phone when he suddenly felt like a cold breeze blew towards him. He looked up towards the entrance and saw a man supporting a lady who seemed drunk.

He looked at the girl's face, and for the first time in his life, his wolf said, "Mate!" He thought he heard it wrong, but his wolf proved he wasn't wrong. He was so happy that it kept on saying, Mate.

"Mate? How can she be my mate?" Alex asked himself. Even though he only saw one side of her face, he knew she was a human.

"Go to her," his wolf said.

"No, she can never be my mate," he replied.

He noticed that the man had already sat her down on the chair. He felt a sudden wave of anger gushing over him, but he did not move away from where he was. He could tell that the girl was drunk; he sighed in frustration and was about to look away when he saw the man touch her face.

He couldn't hold it anymore, not when his wolf was also angry. He stood up suddenly and dashed towards the man, grabbing his hand, which was about to touch her chest. He pinned it backwards, so tight that the man screamed in pain.

"You! Who do you think you are? How dare you!" The man asked in anger, still holding his hurt hand.

"You should be thankful it's your hand and not your face because I would have broken it into pieces by now," Alex said with an intimidating face. He didn't care that he had already caught the attention of the people in the room.

"Step away from her; she's mine," He said, looking at the guy intently, but the guy laughed out loud. "Yours?! You must be joking, Alpha. I saw her first." He said.

"Then I guess you must be the serious one. Move away, or I will make sure you don't get to see anything again." Alex said, staring directly into his eyes. He couldn't understand where the weak wolf had gotten the courage from.

The man also stared back at him; his eyes changed from black to a goldish brown, and he smirked before leaving the room.

Alex stared at the girl sitting on the sofa. She was not herself, and her eyes were closed. He clearly won't lie by saying she isn't pretty, but she's a human.

"Mate." His wolf said again. He sighed before

picking her up from the sofa. He left the club and headed towards his car.
