My Alpha's Pain

Anne T. Thyssen Paranormal

“Let’s go find him,” Mary said, clearly understanding what was going on.
The three of them left, without even noticing if I was right behind them or not. I just watched them walk away and disappear into the big crowd of people. Then I turned around and decided to walk away. Finally, I could go home, but when I got outside in the cold night, and pulled my phone out, I realized I couldn’t go anywhere. Aiden had gotten us here, and if I called Dean or my dad or Kyle to say I wanted to go home already, then everyone would just worry about me … again!
I groaned loudly. What did I do now?! I wanted to go home, and yet I couldn’t … I watched the people outside who were drinking and smoking and enjoying some company, then I looked behind me, listening to the party that was going on outside … I had to go in there again … I had no other choice. I would freeze out here and I didn’t believe anyone here was sober enough to take me home and I couldn’t call anyone who was. So, reluctantly, I walked inside again, pushing and shoving people out of my way, while I tried to see if I could find my cousin in the big crowd. Where the hell was she?!
It was impossible to find her with the many people walking around and blocking my view, so I ran to the nearest staircase, and tried to see if it gave me a better view. It didn’t. I groaned once again, before going up the stairs. Maybe she had gone up here? I walked all the way up to the next floor. It was quieter here, but a few people still occupied the hallway, though it was easier to walk through this one. I walked all the way to the end, looking into rooms where the doors were open, but I couldn’t find my cousin. I took a turn when I got to the end, and then walked up another set of stairs. There was almost no one up here, and the music had also almost been drowned out. Most doors here were closed, except a few. I looked into all of the rooms where the doors were open and was only missing one. The door was only opened an inch, but as long as it was open, I dared to look inside. I grabbed the handle and slowly opened the door.
“Mary?” I asked.
But no one answered me, instead I noticed something ... or someone sitting on a balcony, his legs over the side, and a drink in his hand. The male turned his head around and his very blue eyes met mine.
Mate …
The word was said in a very weak and low voice, but I still heard it. Sh*t … not again, was all I could think as I looked at him. He swung one of his legs over the side, and took a sip of his drink, as his eyes slowly moved over me. He seemed to be intoxicated, and his eyes shone with lust.
No, no, no, no, no … Not … Again …
