CHP.17-Bonding and Liqour

The celebrations went long into the night and with the large male wolves getting more drunk and open Serenity became more restless. Starting to grow uncomfortable in such an environment surrounded by testosterone filled males, who had become more brazen with their eyes on her.

Of course the second they felt my eyes penetrate their gaze they were quick to look away from the two females sitting at the table, but still Serenity was becoming more tense. I whispered to her we would leave shortly and made my way to Zeke to let him know. He was arm wrestling his brother over the table with other wolves standing around cheering on their respective Alphas.

I nearly rolled my eyes as he slammed his brothers arm onto the table before releasing a terribly tuned howl of victory. His hair tousled in a very attractive manor as he began to chug another ale of drink he had picked up from the table.

I approached the group confidently, my head upwards and my shoulders back. All their cheering quieted down quickly as they realized I was there. Zeke held a face of confusion before he turned to see me standing there. Unease flashed behind his eyes, and I could tell he was slightly nervous as to what I would say about his more than slightly drunk persona and behavior.

I smirked at the thought of me scolding him but decided to mess with him another day,

"Serenity and I are heading in for the night. I'll see you in bed later, have fun." With that I rose on my tip toes to plant a small kiss on his cheek, much to the amusement of the men who offered copious amounts of wolf whistles in response. Zeke was quick to react as he grabbed my jaw in his large hand and mashed his lips to mine in a proper kiss.

He tasted like ale, boar and Zeke. I was addicted to him.

Even though I was sure the men would enjoy a show I wasn't an entertainer, so I pulled away before kissing his neck one last time and returning to my flat feet. My eyes looked across to see Titus's. I nodded at him in acknowledgement,

"Titus." He smiled before bowing his head at me.

I could feel Zeke's arousal through our bond as I strolled toward Serenity, grabbing her hand before leading her out the room. I could feel the tension from her body release the second we closed the large dining room door and all the noise of the ruckus was smothered behind it's large oak frame. I tilted my head to look at Serenity,

"Want to hang out for a bit?" She smiled and nodded her head, "sure, it would be super great in helping me get my mind off things." We began walking down the hall before and idea came into my mind.

"Wait, we just have to make a quick stop first." We moved across the countless hallways and what felt like hundreds of doors quickly, my nose being the main navigater in our quest.

"Uhh, Luna Cecil, where are we going?" Serenity spoke from behind me as I continued my determined walk.

"Just hold on you'll see in a second." I called to her over my shoulder, before we came across exactly what I was looking for.

The Kitchen.

I could smell the meat and spices throughout the house. The boar they had cooked only hours before still leaving it's scent everywhere. I pushed opened the door to find a massive stone tiled kitchen. It seemed to be an industrial size and fully equiped with every a gourment chef could want. A massive open grill, two large deep metal sinks, multiple ovens, microwaves and even had two double doored fridges.

"How does he have all this stuff?" Serenity asked out in disbelief, her face bewildered as she took in the ginormous space. I shrugged my shoulders in response. It wasn't like I had a clue anyway.

I walked toward what I assumed was the pantry, flinging open the door to only find food. I scowled at the empty space before slamming the door shut, not before sneakily grabbing a container of what looked like cookies first however.

I then went to the cuboard space above the fridge, that looked like a good place to store it. I dragged a small bar stool over before standing on it to reach. These fridges were obnoxiously large.

"Luna Cecil, what are we looking for?" Serenity repeated her question from eariler. I opened the cabnit doors before sticking my hand into the space, feeling around. Surely it would be in here somewhere.

"Ah-ha!" I exclaimed in victory before pulling the very large bottle of alcohol down. I spun the label around to see just what we were dealing with.

"Tequila." I eyed the large glass bottle with a small sombrero hat on top as a lid. I looked at Serenity's confused gaze before shrugging, "Guess it'll have to do, find some shot glasses somewhere and let's head to my room." Serenity's expression didn't change as she shuffled through cabnits to find what we were looking for.

"Why are we drinking exactly?"

"To get your mind off things, plus, the ale was gross and it's not fair the men are the only ones that seem to be having a great time." I dragged the chair back to it's place before opening one of the large fridges, spotting what looked like a form of soda I grabbed it out.

Turning to Serenity, who had now found two small shot glasses I held the bottle outward,

"Let's go."

*****

We had made it back to my room with the cookies, alchohol and soda before seating ourselves in the middle of the floor on the carpet. I had qiuckly opened the bottle of Tequila before pouring it equally into the shot glasses, filling them to the rim.

"Alright, do you want to play a drinking game?" I asked Serenity as she sniffed the liqour in her glass before wrinkling her nose at it, her dark eyes lifted to mine before she nodded.

"Sure, what did you want to play?" My eyebrows creased as I thought about it, I actually wasn't sure. I had never really partied before the war and was only 16 when it started.

"What about a question game?" Serenity suggested, clearly seeing my lack of response. I nodded enthuisiactically.

"Ok, everytime you take a shot you get to ask me a question and visa versa."

"Sounds good, I'll start." I rasied the large shot glass to my lips before titling my head back and quickly swallowing the liquid. Barely managing to hold in a cough at the taste of it as it spilt down my throat. Serenity giggled at my response to the drink, clearly finding humour in my lack of skill at downing alcohol. She reached across to open the soda before handing it to me, I graciously accepted it before taking a drink.

"Ok, what are your thoughts on Diesel, you guys are so cute together don't you think?" I immedialty asked the juicy question as I could feel my body start to heat up from the Tequila. Wolves could get drunk quicker than humans due to our faster metabolism, but it would also wear of quicker if we stoppd drinking.

Immediatly Serenity's cheeks warmed as she thought about my question.

"I-I dont know. He's cute though isn't he? I'm just not sure I'm ready but we uh, kissed the other day and it was... it was nice." Before I could ponder her response she had picked up her shot and downed it in one full swoop. I was impressed as she casually sipped on the soda after.

"Ok, have you and Zeke done anal." I nearly spat the cookie I was chewing on as the question came out of her mouth. I coughed a few times in an attempt to dislodge the small pieces that had become stuck in my through as I inhaled after nearly spitting it out.

"Have we- no we have not." I managed to spill out in between breaths. Serenity was laughing at my struggle to breathe. While I wasn't to impressed about the joke being at my expense I was happy to hear her laughing.

***

We had been taking shots for nearly an hour, 3 quarters of the bottle had been emptied between the two of us as were both lay sprawled across the floor cackling like mad hyenas as discussed my first enctour with Zeke.

"Wait- wait you called him what the first time you met?" She laughed out as she wanted me to repeat my story.

"An asshole." We both began to our mad cackle again. My body thrumming from the copious amount of Tequila in it. Why hadn't we done this earlier. It was fun. I reached my hand across to grab another cookie only to find the packet empty. I pouted at lack of cookies, before rolling myself into a seated position.

"Hey, pssst, Serenity." I whipsered to her before poking her in the shoulder a finger.

"What." She whispered back as she raised her head from the ground slightly to look at me better.

"We're out of cookies, let's go get more." She nodded as I begun to stand up, except, it was quite hard as the floor seemed to be moving from under my feet. I stumbled a few steps before landing on the arm chair in the corner. Serenity released a booming laugh as I shook my head to refocus myself. I didn't have the time to figure out how the floor just moved. I had a mission.

Rising to my feet again I decided the best way to approach a moving floor was to have more solid footing. Beggining to walk to the door I made sure to apply as much pressure to each foot as it hit the ground to ensure the most stable footing possible. Yet again causing Serenty to laugh more, she was practically wheezing at this point.

I couldn't possibly understand what was so entertaining but each to their own I suppose.

"Come onnnnnn." I drawled out as my hand gripped the door handle. Success. Serenity attempted to rise to her feet before seemed to experiencing the same problme of the floor moving and she stumbled to the ground. Instead of standing again however, she decided crawling was the most effective move of transportation as she slowly crawled towards the now open door.

We began heading back to the kitchen, Serenity crawling while I leaned my entire weight along the hallway walls and focused on planting as much fore into each step as possible. we eventually made it into the kitchen. Serenity pulling herself onto a bar stool as I rummaged through the pantry to find cookies.

"Uh-oh." Serenity whispered out causing me to turn around in confusion, "what?" I whispered back. I wasn't sure why we were whispering but I'm sure Serenity had a reason for doing it. She pointed across the kitchen, I followed her gaze only to make eye contact with Zeke, Diesel and Dion. Slowly so to not draw attention to myself, I slunk back into the cuboard before closing the door.

I didn't want Zeke to find me in my drunken state. He would for sure be unimpressed and I doubted I'd be able to control myself around him.

I nearly screamed when someone knocked on the closed door, but refrained from making a noise. Stealth was key here.

"Cecil, I know you're in there." Zeke's vioce sounded from behind the door. I cursed silently as the door opened to reveal Zeke's large frame staring down at me. He quickly sniffed the air before his eyes squinted slightly.

"Have you been drinking?" I was about to respond before a hiccup rudely escaped my mouth and interrupted me. He hmphed at my response as I felt the blush rise to my cheeks.

"Diesel, why don't you take Serentiy back to her room while I take Cecil back ours?" Zeke spoke to the men behind him but his eyes never left mine. His suggestion of us going back to the room had my hormones getting excited, the idea of us together in a bed. I could feel the gold bleeding into my eyes as my wolf also expressed her excitment of the idea.

"Ofcourse Alpha, I'll take her back now." Preening over Zeke's shoulder I could see Diesel's eyes filled with intent as Serenity blushed at him, the scent of her arousal filling the kitchen almost immediatly.

"And I'll just go fuck myself." With that Dion spun on his heel and exited the room. I giggled at his retreating figure.

"Mmm I have something I'd rather fuck much more." Zeke whispered into my ear as he picked me up.
