Chapter 12: A little fun, A little trouble.

Lilac

I am out of my mind. I am out of my fucking mind.

"Girl! Loosen up, look how gorgeous you are... I mean, if I were your husband, I won't let you out of the damn house.

I must have banged my head?

No, there wasn't an accident so I sure as hell did not bang my head.

So what happened? Why did I hug him?

Well, he just looked so sad and I felt really bad for him.

He is a Lycan!

He is also my husband, so?

God! Where the hell did that stupid bravery come from? What if he had got annoyed and ripped me into half? Milo and Nina will definitely want that to happen. Father will loose his shit.. Oh Lilac Hirav! Why are you so dumb?!

"Lilac Hirav Aspen!!"

"Holy shit, you scared me!" My head snaps to Issy. It is then I see the car has stopped.

"What the hell is going on in your head Lilac?" She snaps, unbuckling her seatbelt.

My head pinches and I frown at her. "Why?"

"I've been screaming your name for the past five minutes, but you were in another realm! Where did you go? Avalon?"

I chuckle at her weird sense of humor, shrugging my shoulders. I can't tell her what I did, she probably thinks Kael and I are getting along well. If I told her, she would probably find it weird that I'm freaking out because I hugged him. Still, if I do not tell someone, I would probably—

"Lilac!" For the second time this evening, my head snaps to Ava and I fake a smile at her confused face, and then it turns to worry as she starts touching me all over, checking my pulse, checking my temperature.

"I'm fine Issy." She doesn't believe me, and she is about to say something again when there is a rap against her window. We both turn to look at the person. The girl raps her hands against the window again.

"Oh, that's Emery, my friend... We are here to celebrate her finding her Fated," Issy says, her excitement now back on her face in full force. Sometimes I wonder how she is able to keep that radiating glow on her face, so far she is the exact opposite of what I grew up learning about the furry persons; Lycans.

"Fated? Like soulmates? Does that even exist?"

"In the Lycan world, it does.. Sometimes."

"Sometimes?"

"Exactly. Sometimes. Not everyone gets to find a Fated, only a selected few are lucky enough to have one."

"Oh." I nod. Now I'm wondering, how would it feel to find your soulmate? That someone that is made exclusively for you. I guess I will never know.

We eventually get out of the car, and I try to balance myself in the stupid heels Issy had made me wear, how I fucking hate heels. Thankfully she allowed me choose my outfit, else I would have been prancing around in a fucking tight gown and some stupid ass heels.

"Hey Issy! You made it!" The girl, Emery exclaims as we walk over to her side.

"Of course I made it! You know it would have been rude to cancel, right?"

"Yeah... Hey... Who's your new friend?" She points to me. I can feel her staring at me with wide eyes, her lips pressed together tightly as she tries to hold in her excitement.

"This is Lilac."

"Yeah, I'm Lilac, Nice meeting you. " I grin at her, that is until she starts sniffing and my smile falls.

"She is human?!" Emery whispers loudly, before looking to Issy who nods enthusiastically.

"Woah!! Tell me you have news and gists of how it is to be an human! I've always wanted to meet one." Emery exclaims, almost squealing as she grabs my hand and holds it tight.

"Emery... You are going to break her hands," Issy warns her, making her pull away as she looks slightly disappointed.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable Lilac. Come inside, I'll introduce us all."

Inside, apparently is a club, a fucking club filled with people dancing on tables and moving their bodies to loud music. Emery says the name is Skol and it's the only top notch club in Lycania. Skol. Fucking weird name if you ask me.

There is a small dancefloor by the wall with a huge bar and some empty booths. Issy drags me towards the nearest booth and plops down on it while I sit next to her, staring at the scene around us. The crowd is huge, with more and more people coming in every minute. The lights keep changing from colors to colors making it hard to actually recognize people if you wanted to.

"You're going to love it here, I promise." Issy smiles at me, squeezing my hand.

"I hope so..." I mutter, trying to hide my nervousness. I have never been to an human club before, talk more of a Lycan one.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." She winks at me.

Few minutes later, Emery and Issy has introduced me to their friends. There is Perez, whom they call Peeby, and the guy with pink hair, whose name is Raul, he is the one who is Emery's Fated.

Then comes a girl called Olivia, with brown long braided hair. She has green eyes and freckles scattered across her cheeks, which makes her look like a baby. Finally, there is a guy named Nino, who keeps calling Issy his girlfriend. The whole gang turns out to be quite cool and friendly. They seem to know everyone here and they certainly don't seem to mind that I'm human and for the first time I feel like I belong. Not entirely, but to a level.

I'm sipping on my can of sprite when Perez comes over to sit beside me. I noticed he has been staring at me since we got here, not like I mind though.

"Hey Perez" I greet him with a genuine smile on my face.

"Hi Human." He grins at me and I can't help but notice his dimple. Perez is cute, kind of reminds me of a Disney character.

"What are you drinking?" He asks as he reaches over to take the can from my grasp.

"Um.. Sprite."

"That's boring." He scrunches his nose up and drinks the rest of my drink, making a disgusted expression afterwards.

"I don't take alcohol, I'm not of Legal age yet" I point out and he snorts.

"You are in Lycania, there is no legal drinking age here, as a matter of fact most of us start drinking at age twelve if possible ."

"Wait... You guys all started drinking at age twelve? That's insane!"

"It's nothing new, humans just don't accept that change so easily. It seems to work better than the legal drinking age for humans... We get to know how to hold our liquor, ya know."

"Wow." I shake my head at him. He grins again and then leans back on the chair.

"Do you wanna dance?" he asks me.

"Dance?" I raise an eyebrow at him. I think I may have heard him wrong.

"Yeah, why not. No harm in having fun." He shrugs.

"Um... I don't think that's a good idea, I have two left feet." I rub the nape of my neck nervously. I mean I am not the type of person who dances and has fun. I usually prefer studying or reading some books or just relaxing to myself.

"It's fine Lilac! Don't worry about it, I'll lead you. Besides, you are having fun, not pinning for an oscar, right?" He smirks at me as I blush and turn my face away.

I guess I shouldn't say no.

"Fine... Okay."

"Great!! Let's go!" He gets up from the seat. His hands are already reaching to grab mine, making me jump off the seat.

"Ow!"

"Hey Peeby, be careful with that girl! She is a delicate catch!" I hear Issy yell over the music . Perez laughs as he pulls me along to the dance floor, which is very crowded.

After a couple minutes of dancing, I finally loosen up enough to enjoy myself. I haven't really done this in awhile and I couldn't stop smiling. I feel warm and carefree, and Perez keeps telling me jokes that will make me laugh, and the music seems to come easier than ever before. After an hour or so, the lights dim a bit, but not too much, so that only makes me more curious about what's happening, since the noise around me is still loud.

Before I know it, I hear a loud growl and Perez is swung off me in an heartbeat. What the hell! Someone grabs my hands and starts pulling me out of the club, I almost trip on the stupid heels Issy made me wear. I can't see, so I can't tell who it is but I have a sneaking idea of who it might be, and if I'm right, then I'm fucking doomed.

"Let me go!" I yell harshly trying to rip my hands off the person's grip. But whoever it is doesn't budge until we are outside and I suddenly am slammed flush flat against a car door.

The just blooming moonlight stretches over us, casting a glow over his face, it is then I see who it is. My suspicion is confirmed, it is him— My husband, and right now he is glaring at me with the coldest of his expression and all I want to do now... Is run!
