Sirius' POV

Pretty soon it was Christmas Eve. Remus' family usually host a party on Christmas Eve for family and friends and it would be my first time attending one. Especially my first time attending one as Remus' future life mate. I was extremely nervous. My inner vamp was worried we wouldn't do well enough for our sweet little mate.

'Would you stop worrying? It's supposed to be fun.' Remus laughed as he caught me gnawing on my bottom lip again. He checked we were alone in the hallway then leaned in to capture my lips softly. I smiled as he pulled away and went off to get ready. Then I looked at the watch I always wore. Cripes I better go get myself ready.

I showered quickly and made sure to shave. It would not look good meeting Rem's family with an unkempt face. I'd used the coconut shampoo I know drives him wild. I used a quick spell to dry my hair and left it to fall, framing my face as it did so. My eyes were defined by a single thin line of black kohl. Now to the outfit. Oh god, what do I wear?

I want to look perfect. I dig through my bag with clothes in and throw out every possibility. This is how James finds me. I'm now beginning to panic. He stood at the door quietly chuckling.

'Rather than laugh, help!' I snarled.

He walked in and picked up my black slacks and a grey silk shirt. How had I not seen that? I smiled at him as he left. He was wearing black slacks and a red shirt. His hair was still messy and his glasses still stood wonkily on his nose.

I got dressed quickly and left the room. I did not wear aftershave, it would hide my scent from my mate and I did not want that. I followed Remus' scent and found him helping his mum in the kitchen. He looked amazing. He had on light grey slacks on, that showed his cute little behind. He was also wearing a crisp white shirt. His wavy hair was still slightly damp fromhis shower and it made my vampire come closer to the surface with the desire to bite and claim him. Instead I kissed his cheek as I began to help.

Not long after, people began arriving. Remus had more family than I thought. I lost track of the people I made small talk with. Somewhere inside though, I had a bad feeling. Like something bad was going to happen.

Said bad thing came in the form of the next guest. Along with who I can only assume are his parents, walks a boy around our age. He has short blond hair and blue eyes. He was stylishly dressed in a blue shirt and light jeans. Upon seeing Remus, my mate, said boy beamed and wrapped him up in a tight hug. I clenched my fists and started to growl quietly. This mysterious boy kissed Remus' cheek and kept his arm round him as they stood and chatted to his parents. I could feel the cuts my elongated nails were making in my hands. My teeth had sharpened and were visible if you knew what to look for. I was practically vibrating with anger. How dare he touch what is mine? How dare he dirty my love with his greasiness? Who did he think he was? My vampire was throwing himself at me demanding I let loose. I was losing my hold on my vampire when I noticed James walk up towards Remus. He leant in and whispered something. Remus turned to look at me and gasped. He hurried towards me, unfortunately dragging blondie with him.

'Sirius, this is my friend Seb.'

'We were much more than that Remmy,' Seb said softly. I sent this boy a stony glare. Remus cringed.

'What do you mean?' I ground out. Seb laughed.

'He was my boyfriend until he went back to school, weren't you sweetie?' He said sickeningly. I knew by this point my eyes were turning red. I could no longer smell my mates scent. He smelt too much of this boy and his aftershave. I growled and turned away.

'I will see you in the morning.' I growled out to Remus as I stalked out of the room. I had to go before I did something to Seb that Remus wouldn't like. Stupid blond pretty boys.
