Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
Chapter 14
Mason's POV
It was Friday and we were getting out of school early. The girls were excited about whatever they had planned this weekend. I had a bad feeling about the whole thing, but Mom told me I needed to deal with this overprotective wolf crap that the others have seemed to master. Sometimes she just didn't understand.
I tried to talk to Dad about it, but he told me not to mess with any imprint because it will ALWAYS come back to bite you in the ass. He told me that the old pack learned this lesson the hard way and once they learned it, everyone was happier.
I parked in the driveway and grabbed Lilly's bag while Reese grabbed Liv's and headed inside. The girls were going on and on about dinner and junk that I didn't quite get, but they were excited, so I didn't burst their bubbles.
Once inside, both of them took off to their room, while I set Lilly's bag next to the door.
"Hey Mom!" I yelled, hopping she was in the kitchen so I could run a few things past her.
"In here honey."
I headed into the kitchen just as Mom pulled cookies from the oven. I gave her a kiss on the cheek, grabbed two cookies, and sat on a bar stool at the island. She poured me a glass of milk and I dunked the cookies just like I did when I was a kid.
"Hey Mom, I was wondering if we could hold our first official pack meeting with everyone tonight since the girls will be leaving around four?"
"That's fine, do you want me to make dinner for everyone?" she asked.
"If you want. I know the guys will like it, plus it will help keep everyone happy."
"It's been a long time since I've had to cook for so many active wolfs. It might be fun; I'll go call Clair to see if she wants to help."
"Thanks Mom!" I gave her a big hug, pick up my dishes, put them in the sink, and headed into the living room to see what was on.
"Mason, Reese, or Carter!" Liv yelled.
"What!" we all yelled at the same time.
"Can one of you bring up the big box Alice sent? Mom put it in the den."
"It's all you Mace, you're the closest." Reese said as he continued to find something to watch.
I rolled my eyes, went to the den, and saw two boxes; one was large and the other was just a tad bit smaller. She did say the large one so I picked it up and carried it to the girl's room.
"Where do you want it?" I asked as I watched Lilly look through the songs on her iPod.
"Just set it against that wall." Liv said pointing to the fall wall.
I set it down.
"Watcha doin?" I asked Lilly knowing what she was doing, but wanting to hear her voice.
She looked up and gave me her beautiful smile that only music or Seth can bring to her face. I felt a sting of pain as I thought that thought. Why couldn't I have imprinted on her. Seth really was one lucky SOB.
"Just making a play list we'll listen to while getting ready. Lanna should be here pretty soon and she will want to make sure it's appropriate for what we have planned tonight."
"Oh, sounds like fun. Where are you guys going?" I asked in a voice that I was hopping showed them that I could care less what their plans were.
"Nice try" Liv said as she tried to push me out of her room. "Besides, we have no idea. Alice planned everything and everything that we'll do, need, and want for this weekend is in that box." She said as I let her push me out of her room.
"Thanks for the help!" Lilly called to me as Liv shut the door in my face. I turned and walked back into my room shaking my head.
"You've got it bad man." Carter said effectively wiping the goofy grin off my face.
"What are you talking about?" I asked pretending like I didn't know. It's all they ever harass me about now.
"That you're in love with Lilly. You're just lucky you haven't patrolled with Seth since your lust turned into love. He's gonna kick your ass when he finds out." Reese said as he was on the computer doing God know what.
"She's changed you, you know?" He said not looking away from the screen.
"What do you mean?" I asked as I sat on the floor and opened my laptop.
"When was the last time you hooked up with someone? Or better yet, when was the last time you had any fantasies that involved anyone but her? You used to go through girls like white on rice and not think twice about it. Dame Mace, being in your head is just as bad as being in Will's or Seth's. It's almost like you've imprinted." Carter said.
I looked at him and shook my head. "I know, I know and I don't know what I'm going to do about it."
"Wish I could help, but I have no idea. You're up shit's creek without a paddle. Sorry bro." he responded.
"Yeah, I know. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope I do imprint just to erase my feelings for her. It's hard to be head over heals with someone who will never return the feelings."
I head a car park and the sounds of two people approaching the front porch.
"Will must be bringing Lanna here to get ready." Reese said hearing the same things I was.
"That was the plan." I stated as I heard foot steps coming up the stairs. I could hear Will kissing Lanna before she knocked and went into the girl's room. Will made his way to our room.
"Hey" he said.
"Hey" we said back.
"What's the plan for tonight?" he asked
"We're having a pack meeting. Everyone will be coming over at 3:30 to eat, the girls are leaving at 4:00, and then we're having an official pack meeting with everyone."
He nodded and laid on the bed as we could hear the girls turn their music up.
Lilly's POV
Lanna showed up and we opened the box. This Alice girl had everything in perfect order with detailed instructions. She must really be something. I hope I get to meet her one day. Olivia said she used to live around here, but her family moved to Maine.
Anyway, we pulled out three beautiful dresses. Each dress was labeled with one of our names.
Olivia's was a red satin mini dress. It had a strapless sweetheart neckline with a pick up bubble skirt.
Lanna's was a black satin mini dress. It was strapless and also had a pick up bubble skirt. Around the waist was a white satin sash that tied in a bow on the left side.
My dress was a royal blue halter mini dress. It was gathered under the bust with a bow off to the right side. The skirt had pick-ups and a bubble hem. I wasn't sure about the idea of a mini dress because, well to be honest, tall girls and mini dresses just end up showing WAY too much.
Even though they were all different, the skirts tied them together and I know that if they fit well, which Liv guaranteed us they will, we would look amazing.
Next we found our shoes to go with our dresses. All of the shoes matched our dresses and had stiletto heels. I was worried about how short my dress was going to look. I mean I know it's going to be super short, but the added height from the heels will just make it look that much shorter.
"What are you worried about?" Olivia asked. She must have noticed me looking at my outfit.
"Um…just that my dress is going to be way too short. I'm a lot taller than both of you and mini dresses tend not to cover my butt completely."
"You have nothing to worry about. Alice would only pick things that will fit perfectly! She is completely gifted." She said as she pulled out three suit cases labeled with each of our names.
Olivia read the first set of directions and explained how we should do our hair and makeup. We started right away because judging by what I just heard, it's going to be a long process.
Olivia did my hair, I did Lanna's hair, and Lanna did Olivia's hair. After too much product for one person, a curling iron, a flat iron, and several minutes, our hair was finished.
Liv had straight hair that was parted on the side. Her layers stood out and framed her face perfectly. Lanna's hair was pulled half up and had a slight wave that made the natural highlights in her hair stand out. I have no idea how that happened, but the waves caught the light just right to accent them. My hair was half up half down. My hair was wavy and hung down my back. The product made my hair look like it did when the sun was shining on it. I loved it.
Our makeup was our next task and we followed Alice's instruction to a tee. It shocked us to see our reflections. We looked like models; none of us had a single flaw.
"You know this Alice person really knows her stuff. I really need to learn from the master." I sais as I continued to look in awe at my reflection.
Olivia laughed. "I'm sure you'll get a chance. Just to warn you, she LOVES to give makeovers and won't take no for an answer. Let's take our bags down and grab a light snack before we put our dresses on."
We agreed and took our bags down and grabbed some fruit to bring back out our room. We didn't see or hear any of the boys so we knew that we were in the clear with getting out of the house without crazy Mason getting involved. It was the plan to freak him out, but now that the night is here, I don't want him to mess it up with his "we need to keep you protected from everyone" attitude.
When we got back to the room, Liv turned up our music, Lanna locked the door, we ate our fruit, and started to get carried away. We had about an hour before the limo Alice arranged would be here to pick us up. We started singing and dancing to the music, clearly getting more and more excited about tonights festivities as the time passed.
Mason's POV
The guys and I got back to the house about a half hour before everyone would get here for dinner. The house was filled with music that sounded like it belonged in a club. The songs had a heavy beat and lyrics that should have made my Mom blush.
"Sounds like they're having fun." Will said as he smiled.
"Yeah." I told him as we helped Mom set the food out so it would be ready for the guys. I could hear the three of them singing and dancing along with the music.
I heard the door open and the sound of the living room being filled. I looked around the corner to see Michael, Ethan, Jason, Josh, Justin, Drew, Tyler, Daniel, David, Tony, Nathan, and Seth gathered around the TV searching the channels.
"What are they doing?" Josh asked as some of the guys started to smile as they heard them singing and dancing.
"Getting ready for tonight. They do this all the time. Lilly and Liv wake up to different music each morning and dance around." Carter told them.
I could hear Lilly singing along with a song that I have never heard before and I saw Seth smile at her voice.
Mom had just finished putting all of the food on the table and called us in to eat. As expected the pack rushed into the dining room in stampede like fashion. Mom made enough spaghetti and meatballs to feed a third world country.
I wonder if she could tell I'm hard right now, hmmm
Yeah, come on, dance for me baby, ha ha, yeah
Ut oh, you feel that? Alright
Come on, don't stop now
You done did it, come on, uh, yeah, alright, hold on
"What song is this?" Michael asked with raised eyebrows
"I have no idea, anyone else?" Drew stated and looked around.
"Too Close by Next." Seth answered. Sometimes it paid to have a forty something year old around.
Baby when we're grinding
I get so excited
Ooh, how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh, you're dancing real close
Cuz it's real, real slow
(You know what you're doing, don't you)
You're making it hard for me
I could hear the girls singing along and dancing to the beat. I was NOT happy with this song. This was not the type of music they should be listening to.
"Do they have any idea what this song is about?" Tony asked.
"Yeah, none of them seem like the type of girls who would listen to this type of stuff." Ethan said.
Seth and Will shook their head with smiles, clearing enjoying the shock that was written across everyone's face.
All the songs on you requested
You're dancing like you're naked
Oh, it's almost like we're sexing (oh yeah)
Yeah boo, I like it
No, I can't deny it
But I know you can tell
I'm excited, oh girl
"Lilly listens to anything and everything." Seth said while shoving a meatball into his mouth.
Step back you're dancing kinda close
I feel a little poke coming through
On you
"Lanna does too. Those two always surprise us." Will said looking at me with a smirk. "Quil says that those two are going to keep us on our toes and that he thinks by the way the imprints of our pack seem to be going, we're in for a wild ride."
"What do you mean?" Tyler asked.
Now girl I know you felt it
But boo, you know I can't help it
You know what I wanna do
Baby when we're grinding
I get so excited
Ooh, how I like it
I try but I can't fight it
Oh, you're dancing real close
Cuz it's real, real slow
(You know what you're doing, don't you)
You're making it hard for me
"Just that imprints are different, but they all seem to get along so well because at their core, they tend to have very similar tendencies. At least that's what happened last time."
All the songs on you requested
You're dancing like you're naked
Oh, it's almost like we're sexing (oh yeah)
Yeah boo, I like it
No, I can't deny it
But I know you can tell
I'm excited, oh girl
"But, why would he think that Lanna and Lilly would keep us on our toes? They're both nice and fun to hang out with" Justin said as he was finishing his second helping.
Step back you're dancing kinda close
I feel a little poke coming through
On you
Now girl I know you felt it
But boo, you know I can't help it
You know what I wanna do
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe because in the short time they have been here, they have done things that have shocked everyone. Like telling off Mr. Mueller, breaking Kevin's Jaw, and let's not forget how Lilly handled the principal after the fight." Reese said like he was talking to the town idiot.
"Yeah, but that was just Lilly. Lanna didn't do that stuff, she was just present." Ethan said as Will glared at him.
"No, Lilly and Lanna are more alike than people think. Lilly just speaks for the both of them. It's almost like they can read each other's minds. Lilly is just more outspoken then Lanna, but don't let that fool you, when she is pissed, she is just as scary at Lilly. I think being more outspoken is because she is the Alpha's imprint. Lilly has said that in the past she would never have had the balls to do half the shit she has done." Will said as Seth rolled his eyes at the last comment.
The song finished only for another one to start. This time Olivia was the one singing the loudest. I knew that it was an Usher song, but that was about it. I had no idea what the name of it was.
"I bet someone imprints on Liv, she is just like Lilly and Lanna and if Quil's theory is right, then I'm thinking someone's gonna have a leash around their neck by the time this meeting is over with." Daniel said as Reese, Carter, and I growled at him.
He shrugged and continued eating.
I heard a muffled, "Let's get dressed" by I think Olivia, but couldn't be sure. I glanced at the clock to see that their ride should be here in about fifteen minutes.
"Does anyone know exactly what they will be doing?" I asked hoping someone knew something. I had a bad feeling about what was about to happen and the type of music they were listening to didn't ease my fears.
"No, I have only heard bits and pieces. I know that Alice planned it, got them their clothes, made reservations at places, and got a limo to take them to and from Seattle. But that's all I know." Nathan said.
"How did you lean that much? Seth and Will don't even know that much?" Carter asked before I could.
"I overheard them in them a girl's bathroom when I was keeping tabs on them when all the phasing was happening. They have no idea I know that much." he said.
I head a squeal which was very unlike any of the girls up there. "OH MY GOD! YOU TWO LOOK SOOOOO HOT!" Liv yelled above the music. This caused both Seth and Will to smile and then frown probably thinking what I was thinking. They weren't stupid, they knew the girls were going to attract a lot of attention from all types of guys and they wouldn't be there to fight them off.
"YOU DO TOO!" Lanna yelled back as the Usher song finished and a new one started. This song was sung by a girl and the girls really started to get into the music. If I didn't know better you would think they were on stage performing for a sold out crowd. At least they sounded like they could sell out a stadium full of people.
Ah, dirrty (dirrty)
Filthy (filthy)
Nasty (Christina), you nasty (yeah)
Too dirrty to clean my act up
If you ain't dirrty
You ain't here to party (woo!)
Ladies (move)
Gentlemen (move)
Somebody ring the alarm
A fire on the roof
Ring the alarm (and I'm throwin' elbows)
We were all quiet listening to the lyrics.
Oh, I'm overdue
Give me some room
I'm comin through
Paid my dues
In the mood
Me and the girls gonna shake the room
DJ's spinning (show your hands)
Let's get dirrty (that's my jam)
I need that, uh, to get me off
Sweat until my clothes come off
It sounded like they were getting louder and louder until they were belting out the last two lines.
It's explosive, speakers are pumping (oh)
Still jumping, six in the morning
Table dancing, glasses are mashing (oh)
No question, time for some action
Temperature's up (can you feel it)
About to erupt
Gonna get my girls
Get your boys
Gonna make some noise
Wanna get rowdy
Gonna get a little unruly
Get it fired up in a hurry
Wanna get dirrty
It's about time that I came to start the party
Sweat dripping over my body
Dancing getting just a little naughty
Wanna get dirrty
It's about time for my arrival
"If they weren't imprints and a sister, I would say that this has to be the hottest thing I've heard. Just imagine what they look like right now." Daniel said which resulted in five very pissed and growling werewolves.
He held his hands up as if surrendering. "Alright, alright…I get it. I won't go there again." he said while everyone started to clear the table.
"Just for that Danny, you're in charge dishes." Seth said with a look on his face that dared Daniel to challenge him. Daniel groaned and headed to the kitchen to load the dishwashers.
Ah, heat is up
So ladies, fellas
Drop your cups
Body's hot
Front to back
Now move your ass
I like that
Tight hip huggers (low for sure)
Shake a little somethin' (on the floor)
I need that, uh, to get me off
Sweat until my clothes come off
Let's get open, cause a commotion (ooh oh)
We're still going, eight in the morning
There's no stopping, we keep it popping (oh)
Hot rocking, everyone's talking
We headed into the living room quietly listening to the girls. I did like listening to them. I knew they were having fun and I didn't have anything against that. I just wish that a few of us would be there to protect them from guys.
Give all you got (give it to me)
Just hit the spot
Gonna get my girls
Get your boys
Gonna make some noise
Rowdy
Gonna get a little unruly
Get it fired up in a hurry
Wanna get dirrty
It's about time that I came to start the party
Ooh sweat dripping over my body
Dancing getting just a little naughty
Wanna get dirrty (oh, oh)
It's about time for my arrival
Here it comes, it's the one
You've been waiting on
Get up, get it up
Yup, that's what's up
Giving just what you want
To the maximum
Uh oh, here we go (here we go)
I heard the sound of a car pull up and we all turned to look out the window. Alice had gotten them one hot limo. It was a Jagura that was converted into a limo.
"Who wants to go up and tell the girls their ride is here?" Carter asked as all hands went up.
Seth shook his head, but told Tyler to head up stairs and let them know.
He bolted up the stairs and I heard him knock on the door. The girls turned the music down.
"Yeah?" Liv asked.
"Your ride is here." He said through the door.
"Oh, OK! We'll be down in a sec."
He came back down and you could tell he was disappointed they didn't open the door.
I heard their door open and the sound of soft footfalls coming down the stairs. We all turned to see them make their way down the stairs. Olivia was first and she didn't look like the sister I have always known. I shook my head and looked around to see if anyone imprinted on her. She was looking at the stairs so she hasn't made eye contact with anyone yet, but I knew the moment she did because I heard Josh's breath hitch and his heart took off.
Reese, Carter, and I shot him a look and we all started to shake.
"If you don't keep your cool, I will order you to leave. I will not tolerate anyone not in control around them."Seth said so low the girls couldn't hear. We stopped shaking as Liv walked over to Josh and gave him a hug. I clenched my fists and tried to not notice their silent conversation they seemed to be having. I needed a distraction and the last girl down the stairs provided exactly what I needed.
Lilly came down the stairs wearing the hottest dress I think she could have worn. Her hair was stunning and her bright blue eyes sparkled. Her dress was short, showing more leg then should be legal. I hope and pray that when I imprint, it's on someone who is at least half as beautiful as she is.
She was looking at Seth and I knew that is who she would go to, but it didn't stop me from dreaming. Seth took her in his arms and held her close. Will was doing the same with Lanna and I didn't bother to look as Josh, I didn't even want to know.
The rest of the guys were trying to check them out without drawing attention to them, but I know by the look in Will and Seth's eyes, they caught them. I couldn't wait to see what would happen when the girls left.
Quil was right; these girls are going to keep us on our toes.
Seth, Will, and Josh grabbed the girl's luggage and walked the girls to the car. I looked at all the guys and let out a breath. My sister is an imprint, the girl I loved was the imprint of my alpha, and we still had a hell of a lot of things to deal with.
Lilly's POV
Seth's arm kept me warm in the cold weather. He walked me to the limo and put my bag in the trunk. He leaned down and gave me a sweet and soft kiss. It was one that showed me he loved and cherished me. He was gentle and both of us savored every second of it. It didn't last nearly long enough, but I knew I would be getting to spend time with him later.
"I love you." He said as enveloped me in his massive arms.
"I love you too." I kissed him one last time and handed him a letter that I found hidden in my dress.
"What's this?" he asked.
"Alice wrote it. She sent a box of things that you and some of the guys will need to meet us in Seattle. It explains everything; just make sure you bring Will, Josh, and yourself are coming. I don't care who else comes, just as long as your there and the other two come to save me from Liv's and Lanna's wrath."
He chuckled and kissed me again. "I think I can handle that. I can't wait to see you later. Remember I love you."
"I love you too and can't wait to see you later either." I hugged him and then he helped my climb into the limo gracefully.
The girls said bye to their guys and in no time at all we were on our way.
~*~
The limo pulled up to the Edgewater hotel and we climbed out. The driver helped us with our bags and we headed into the hotel. We checked in only to find that Alice reserved each of us a room.
I had the Penthouse Suite. Lanna had the Beatles suite. And Olivia had the Executive Suite. The hotel staff took our bags and led us to our rooms. We dropped our bags in our rooms, checked out each other's rooms, and headed back down to the limo.
We ended up at the same restaurant that Seth took me to. I smiled at the memory of that night. I truly loved that man. He was everything and I was lucky to call him mine.
Everywhere we went, people, especially men stared at us. And not to sound conceded, if I were a guy, I would totally stare at us to. We do look hot.
Dinner was fabulous and we headed back to the hotel to get ready for tonight. We each headed into our own room to get ready.
I walked into the suite and took everything in. Now that we weren't rushed for dinner, I could fully appreciate its beauty. The view was breathtaking and the room was decorated with a natural feel. The river rock fireplace was surrounded by a comfortable sitting area that called you to relax in the oversized furniture. The bedroom had the most amazing 4 poster king sized bed and the bathroom was one that I would love to have in my future house.
I walked over to my bag and placed it on the couch. I opened it to see what Alice had packed me. She included everything I would need for a weekend getaway even though we were only staying the night.
I found my outfit for tonight along with more instructions. She had packed me a pair of dark jeans, a blue satin shirt that was the same color as my dress. It was a beautiful top with a lace back and flutter sleeves. It had a surplice bodice with an empire waist. I loved it! I was glad that it had a built in bra because I couldn't wear one with the lace back.
I read the instruction and it told me to take a shower, put a robe on, and a hair and makeup artist will be here shortly. I took my shower and as soon as I was in my robe there was a light knock on the door. I peeked through the peep hole to see a middle aged woman wearing a black smock with a suitcase. She must be here to do my hair and makeup. I opened the door with a smile. She smiled back.
"Lilly?" she asked.
"That's me." I said as I stepped aside so she could come in.
She set up in the master bath and I followed her direction which consisted of me sitting and relaxing while she got to work.
She started putting product in my hair then dried it. Once she dried it she started to make large loose curls. She added more product and then started weaving my hair into a romantic up do with soft curls that was elegant, but fun enough for our future plans. When she was finished, I got to check it out. It was perfect. It was trendy for the clubs, but soft and romantic to compliment the lace on my shirt.
"It's perfect! Thank you!" I smiled at her.
"Let's do your make up. What are you wearing?" she asked as she opened a huge makeup case with every color imaginable.
I ran into the bedroom and grabbed my shirt to show her.
"Your hair is perfect for that shirt. Ms. Hale was very specific with what she wanted for your hair, but gave me free rein on the makeup as long as I accent your eyes."
I nodded and hung the shirt on the back of the door. I sat back down and she started with pulling tons of brushes out of the case.
I kept my eyes closed as she got to work blending the different colors. Soon she was working on my eyes and I had to open them. When she was finished, I looked in the mirror and couldn't believe my eyes. I looked like I should be on a runway.
"You are really talented. Thank you so much." I gave her a hug, which she returned.
"Go get dressed while I pack up, I want to see the finished produnt."
I grabbed the shirt and headed into the bedroom to change. I hung up the robe and carefully pulled my shirt on making sure not to disturb my hair or makeup. I then pulled on my jeans and took a look in the mirror. The jean fit better then my favorite custom jeans. I was going to have to get more of these. The shirt was gorgeous. The bra did wonders. It made my girls stand out, but not in a trashy way. I pulled on my heels from dinner because that's what Alice said to do and headed back to the bathroom just as she was zipping her suitcase closed.
She turned to see her work and smiled in approval. "You look spectacular. I'm sure you will be breaking a lot of hearts tonight." I gave her a final hug, grabbed the purse that Alice packed, and headed to get Lanna and then Liv.
I knocked on Lanna's door. She was wearing black skinny jean with silver heels and a silver shirt. It was lace-up corset style top with ruching and thick straps. It had beautiful picot trim with satin piping in just the right places. Her hair was also up, but it was more of a sexy style up do then my romantic one.
"You look beautiful." I told her as she grabbed the silver clutch that Alice packed.
"You look striking." She countered.
She shut her door and we made our way to Liv's room.
Liv was wearing a red satin strapless top. It had black lace just beneath the bust and fit her like a glove. Her black jeans fit her curves and made her butt look like a swimsuit models. Just like me, she was wearing her shoes from earlier.
"Let's go girls." She said grabbing a black lace clutch and shutting her door.
We headed to our limo and climbed in. It was about 10:00 and we were ready to start our party. Lanna plugged her iPod into the limos stereo and turned it up. I had no idea where we were heading, but I had a feeling that is was going to be a great club because we all needed fake id's to get it.
A short time later, the driver pulled up to a large building with people waiting to get in. He talked to the bouncers and then came to open our door. He helped us out, while one of the bouncers escorted us in and to a loft that overlooked the dance floor. Alice had arranged for us to have complete use of the VIP loft.
The wait staff brought us each of us a pink drink with fruit sticking out of it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to drink or not, but Olivia assured us that there would be nothing to worry about when Alice plans things. I decided to let loose for once. I have always been a good girl and decided that tonight was the night I was going with what I wanted because we had a driver and a safe place to stay.
The three of us made a deal to watch each other to make sure no one got carried away. After that first drink, we locked our purses in one in the lockers they had in the loft and headed down to dance.
Mason's POV
I tried to concentrate throughout the meeting, but my mind kept wondering about the girls. I was worried about their safety and whether they needed us or not. Seth kept to the plan and went over the basic pack rules one more time and then started on about imprints and pack law.
We planned to have a small bonfire on Sunday to tell Lanna and Lilly about us. Only the current pack will be there. We thought that it would be easier for them if there wasn't a ton of people watching them all night.
By the end of the meeting I was sure that everyone understood that imprints are to be protected above all else because they are what makes our pack strong. Without them, our pack wouldn't be able to fight like we do. They give us reason to fight harder, longer, and to make it back alive. If something happened to one of them, the entire pack would suffer both emotionally and physically.
When Seth was wrapping up and assigning the new patrol schedule, he mentioned a letter that Alice sent about the girl's plans. I wanted to know what it said and judging by the looks on everyone's faces, they were curious as well.
He pulled out a piece of paper and read it. It basically told us that she sent clothes and ID's , booked a suit at the hotel, and gave us directions to meet them at the hottest club in Seattle.
Everyone was excited and wanted to go, but someone needed to stay behind to patrol. Seth was in the process of making that decision about who was staying behind when David asked, "Can't you call Alice and have her check if there will be any visitors tonight or tomorrow?" Seth nodded and pulled out his phone.
He hung up and told us to expect a visit from a nomad in three days, but we were all clear for tonight. I went to the den and grabbed the box that was still in there. I brought it out to the living room and opened it. It was filled with tons of jeans and button down shirts. It also had a small box that contained ID's for everyone, not that we looked too young.
Within no time, everyone was ready and a limo bus picked us up and drove us to meet the girls at the club. In my opinion, it was taking too long, it was already 11:00 and we still had another half hour before we were at the club.
Finally the bus pulled up and the driver talked to the bouncers before letting us know that we would be escorted to the VIP loft. He said he would be back at two to pick us up, but gave us his number if we wanted him to pick us up earlier.
We leapt out of the bus and headed into the club bypassing the extensive line that wrapped the building. The music was great in the club and the girls were hot, but I was on a mission to find and protect our girls.
When we reached the loft, the waitress took our orders of rather large amounts of hard liquor. It takes a lot for us to feel the effects and we didn't have to worry about driving, so we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
With drinks in our hand, we headed over to the edge of the loft that overlooked the dance floor and I was stunned to see three beautiful women in the middle of the floor. They were dancing completely oblivious to the lust that seemed to be emanating from every male within 50 feet of them.
I knew one was my sister but it was still sexy as hell. The way they moved together was enough to make any man beg for mercy. They all had large smiles and it was apparent that they were having the time of their lives.
Watching them as we finished our drinks, I learned that they were skilled at moving away from any man that tried to get close enough to dance with them. I smiled in approval and continued to watch as Seth, Will, and Josh headed to join them. Seth told us to wait a few minutes before we joined them. He didn't want to freak them out when 14 very large wolves showed up unannounced even though Lilly knew to expect a few of us.
I watched as my three brothers approached their imprints. When the girls spotted them, their faces lit up like a kid in a candy store and quickly embraced their wolves. I clenched my jaw as I saw Josh's hands very low on Liv's hips. I took a deep breath to calm myself, just to notice Seth's hands all over Lilly. I ordered another drink and saw Reese and Carter doing the same things. I guess they couldn't handle it either.
It wasn't long after the song finished that the guys brought their girls up to see everyone. It was clear that all three were buzzed. They weren't drunk, but were clearly feeling the effects of whatever was in the girly drinks that the waitress brought them as soon as they were at the top of the stairs.
The girls were always friendly with us, but the alcohol seemed to intensify their friendliness. All of them were running to each of us and jumping in our arms to give us their version of a bear hug. Some of the guys even got kisses on the cheek. I noticed that when Lilly jumped into David's arms, he held on a little too long causing Seth and me to growl. He set her down and she reached up to kiss him on his cheek causing his smile to light up the greater Seattle area. Seth glared at him. It was obvious that the kid had a crush on her.
Before long Lilly jumped into my arms and I squeezed her back as I inhaled her sweet sent.
"Maaaasooooon!, I'm soooooo happy you're came." She said still hugging me.
I chuckled. "Yeah, me too. You have some serious moves. You'll have to save me a dance later." I heard Seth growl. "That is, if Seth let's you free."
"I think he can handle missing out on one dance." She said as she went to kiss my cheek. I gave her another squeeze before putting her down.
Seth shot me a pointed look and I knew that he knew something was up with me. He didn't know I love her, but I'm sure he knew I had some sort of feelings for her.
Lilly bounced over to Seth jumping in his arms and wrapping her legs around him. I flinched at the pain their embrace caused and Seth had a questioning look in his eyes before it turned into the glare to end all glares.
In no time at all, we were all on the dance floor. All the guys had at least one girl hanging all over them, myself included, but I couldn't take my eyes off Lilly. Seth would catch me staring every now and then and I would quickly look away. As the night went on, his glares went from mega pissed at the beginning to the curious questioning looks he was using now.
Seth leaned down to tell Lilly something and he turned to head what looked like the bathroom. This is when I made my move. I ditched the skank that wouldn't leave me alone and headed over to dance with Lilly. Lilly smiled when she saw me and pulled me too her. She was dancing and for the first time today, I was nervous.
"I'm not gonna bite, you can touch me you know." She said as she got closer. "Friends can dance together."
I nodded and placed my hands on her hips. I had to take deep breaths to steady my nerves. I basically stood there, moving a little to the beat while Lilly danced around making my pants a little snugger. I didn't know how Seth handled it. She was dancing with me, but nowhere near how she was dancing with him. I decided to just relax and enjoy the short time I have left with her. Seth was going to kick my ass the first chance he got and I would take it like a man. She was worth it.
I was completely engrossed in all things Lilly when I heard Seth growl. I turned my head to see that he was back to using that super pissed glare I have come to know rather well. I leaned down to tell Lilly I needed a break and handed her over to her wolf. I went back to the loft to grab another drink before headed back down to withstand watching my alpha put his hands all over the girl I love. It didn't make it any easier that she was his imprint, love is love and it would hurt no matter what.
I ended up dancing with a girl that was pretty, but she was no Lilly. I had to work to look happy and I just wanted to head back to the hotel and get some sleep. It was about 1:30 so I knew that we would be leaving soon. I told the girl, I think her name was Jessica, I was going to get my group together because our ride would be picking us up soon. She gave me her number and a hug. I left knowing I wasn't going to be calling.
I started to gather everyone and told them to head to the loft so we could make sure everyone was with us. I had to pry some of the guys away from chicks they had picked up.
Around 10 to, we had everyone in the loft. The girls got their purses and thanked the staff before we all headed to the front door. The limo bus was waiting for us. We piled in and were headed to the hotel, Thank God.
When we got to the hotel, Seth told me to check in because the pack would be sharing a room. I was curious as to how all of us would fit in one hotel room, but could care less once Seth and Lilly started making out.
It turned out Alice booked us a family suit with four bedrooms. Each bedroom had two full beds. The three couches in the living room area pulled out and the hotel staff brought enough extra beds so everyone had their own. I noticed that Seth, Josh, and Will were not will the rest of us and figured out they were staying with the girls.
My hands started to shake at that thought and needed to find Josh to let him know that he better not do anything with Liv. I left the room in a hurry and followed Liv's scent to her room. I could hear someone showering and the TV.
I pounded on the door and could hear someone make their way to the door. Josh opened the door and I pulled him into the hall by his collar. I gave him the talk and felt a little better knowing that once he phases, I would know exactly what went on. Unfortunately, that also applied to Seth. I told Josh to have a good night before Liv got out of the bathroom, but shot him a warning glare just before I turned and headed back to my room.
Lilly's POV
When Seth and I got back to my room, he looked around in awe. I couldn't believe I was going to spend the night wrapped in his arms. I knew nothing was going to happen because I wasn't ready for that yet, but the mutant butterflies were doing their best to start the next world right in my stomach.
I walked over to Seth and gave him a quick kiss. "Hey Seth, I'm gonna take a shower. I can't sleep when I'm this gross and sweaty."
Seth pulled me into a hug. "First, you could never be gross, and second, I'm gonna take a shower in the other bathroom before meeting you in the bedroom." He smiled down at me and kissed me before he let me go.
I went over to my suitcase to see what Alice had packed me to sleep in. She packed a light pink cami with black lace and matching boy shorts. I was a little nervous having to wear them in front of Seth, but got over it when I noticed that she only packed him a few pairs of boxers.
"Seth, Alice packed a couple of things for you. They're in my suitcase, if you want them."
"I'll get them in a minute. Thanks sweetheart. I love you." He called as he flipped through the channels.
"Love you to." I called as I headed into the master bath.
I grabbed my stuff and headed to take a hot shower. The water relaxed every muscle. I washed all of the hair product out knowing that when it dried, it would be clean and soft.
I covered my body in my favorite lotion and pulled on my cami and boy shorts. I ended up running a brush through my hair and drying it. I could never go to bed with wet hair, it always bugged me too much to be able to fall asleep.
I put all of my things away, took a deep breath, and headed to the bedroom.
Seth was already in bed. When he looked over and saw me, his eyes showed an emotion I could only guess as pure adoration and love. His eyes swept over my body, taking in every curve. When he finally made eye contact, he smiled a blinding smile at me and I returned it with the same intensity.
He pulled back the blankets and noticed that he was only wearing his boxers. The glorious sight before me made me take in every bulge of his muscles, the satin looking texture of his russet skin, and it sent shivers down my spine. Seth was superb. He was truly a magnificent masterpiece that God blessed me with.
He caught me checking him out and smirked.
"Don't worry, I like what I see to." He said as he patted the spot next to him.
I giggled and crawled in next to him. My head was lying on his chest and his arm wrapped around my waist pulling me closer to his side. Our legs were intertwined and he was lightly drawing circles in my hip. His warmth seeped deep into my bones causing sleep to pull me under before I could do anything to stop it.
"Love you Seth." I mumbled heavy with sleep.
"Love you more Lilly. Go to sleep sweetie, you need it." I briefly felt him kiss the top of my head before I was pulled into the most fantastic sleep I have ever had.
