"I had a husband before I had a boyfriend!" Autumn blurted out, while the other two girls stared at her, wondering what she was talking about. "Did a random guy propose to you?" Ella asked her with raised eyebrows. "The man I met the last time we had a night out, uh? We had a good night and all that, and when we woke up the next morning, guess what I saw?" She didn't wait for them to guess before she said it herself. "A signed marriage certificate between both of us!" She exclaimed. You must be joking!" Ella exclaimed in shock. How in the world did that even happen?!
Ella raised her glass of wine up, and every one on the table followed suit. "To Autumn!"
"To Autumn!" The other girls on the table chorused.
"To me!" Autumn squealed, a bright smile appearing on her face.
"Cheers!" Every one chorused as they all gulped down their glass of wine.
It was one of the best days in Autumn's entire life. The young lady had been unemployed for a while now, and had tried on several occasions to change that title.
It's been half a year, and despite being someone who doesn't give up easily, it was beginning to get tiring for her. But here she was in one of the biggest bars in Las Vegas celebrating with some of her closest friends on her acquisition of a new job.
It was a dream come true for her because it was not just any job. It was her dream job.
She had invited her friends through calls days before, and they all agreed to meet up at the bar that evening and have fun.
It was the weekend before she started at her new workplace, so she had to enjoy the moment with her closest friends.
"I'm so glad y'all came, I appreciate it," Autumn said to them, even though most of them had their attention on either their phone, food, or the drink on their table.
"We're your friends, and friends don't say thank you." Ella patted Autumn on the head playfully. She was the closest to her amongst all of them.
"Yeah, she's right," some of the other girls agreed.
They continued chatting as they had their drinks, and after about thirty minutes of doing that, Autumn had her fill of drinks already.
She then invited all of them to the dance floor to whine and dance to the playing music. The girls agreed and stood up immediately, heading to the dance floor.
Autumn bent down and began to tie the rope of the shoe on her right leg, when she was done and stood up to leave for the stage, she saw a young man a few tables from theirs, drinking.
There were about seven empty glasses of Ciroc colada and Hennessy on his table.
She did a double-take on him as her eyes graced his features.
He was wearing black sweatpants with a black T-shirt. She took her time studying his facial features, and she noticed how his innocent-looking brown eyes looked really pretty, and his lashes were so long.
Stimulated by the alcohol she had taken earlier, she stood up to dance.
She felt a pair of eyes on her and looked up to see who it was. What she saw was satisfactory. It was the same handsome man she had just ogled over. Just her kind of man!
She stood up seductively, not breaking eye contact with the man, and started to shake her body sexily to Rihanna's Work, which was playing.
The guy, who is Perry, also continued to watch her dance, now more assured about her body language.
He felt aroused by her moves when she turned to twerk, already feeling an unusual connection between him and her.
"Damn! She looks so much like Gloria," he said to himself.
He had no issues walking up to her to have a little chit chat but then, that was not what he needed at the moment.
He just wanted to get more drunk even though he was already drunk and forget about his girlfriend who had just refused his proposal. But Autumn didn't stop trying.
Her black gown shone beautifully due to the club lights shining on it, her whole self screamed elegance and class, he could tell that she wasn't like most girls in the club. Seeing that he didn't stop staring at her, she walked up to him.
"Hi, handsome," she blurted out. "You wanna dance with me?" She added.
Perry, who was already drunk and had gotten aroused by the way she danced, didn't even think twice before grabbing her and staggering to the dance floor.
They were in the middle of their dance when he suddenly pulled her close and she fell into his arms, as they hugged each other.
As much as they were tipsy, their bodies close to each other caused ripples of pleasure all over Autumn's Body.
"Shit! Not me feeling this way for a total stranger," Autumn said.
Perry grabbed her waist and leaned in, his warm soft lips planted on hers. She felt heat flood through her body as she returned the kiss.
Her mind was filled with the ecstasy of that moment, and her head was spinning. Inside her head, there was a voice screaming as he slipped his tongue into her mouth, savouring the taste of the alcohol.
Perry stared into her beautiful eyes, studying her drunk features, her full lips in his mouth, her body so sleek wrapped in his.
"This is not what I need, what am I doing?" He asked himself.
"I can't make it stop either," He continued to talk to the voices in his head.
Autumn gilded her tongues around his and they made gentle circles, she felt her body going limp and a small but clear moan escaped her lips.
She opened her eyes slowly and when she did, he was still holding her and staring at her, at the dazed and heated expression on her face.
The second his soft lips made contact with hers again, she lost all sense of time and space. She kissed him back instantly.
He kissed her as if he wanted to devour her and to her. He then lifted her and she immediately wrapped her legs around his waist.
She gasped when she felt how hard he was against her. She ran her hands down his defined chest and his abdomen, feeling every muscle.
He also slid his hand under her shirt to touch her breasts, a moan of appreciation leaving her. She was way too excited to think that it was getting intense.
At that moment, she just wanted to feel him, all of him against her, and nothing else.
He suddenly stopped the kiss and looked into her eyes. "Do you want me to stop?"
Autumn licked her lips nervously and replied. "Yes. I mean, no."
"I, Alpha Miller, hereby reject you, Isla Higgins, as my mate and Luna of the Pembroke pack," he said with a smirk as his beta pinned me against the wall. My heart shattered into a thousand pieces, and I felt a physical ache in my body as pain penetrated through me. “There is no competition here.” Mora, the girl who had made my life hell since childhood, wrapped herself around my fated mate, and he pulled her into his chest, kissing her with passion and lust.

"If you keep biting your lip like that I won't be able to contain myself." I could feel the warmth of his breath fan over my lips, making me hungry to feel them against me. I bit my lip again as my way of permitting him. He gave me a sexy smirk before he crashed his lips against mine. His hands gripped my hips, lifting me and placing me on the kitchen island. I parted my legs allowing his torso between them as he grabbed my bottom while parting my lips with his tongue. I let him explore my mouth with a soft moan. His hands left my rear, traveling up my thighs, pushing my dress up along the way. He ran his finger over my dampening slit, through my underwear. "You're so wet for me already." He smirked against my lip before biting it lightly. I moaned again at the pleasure his touches and words were bringing me.

"You just need to play the role of my Luna. We will only pretend to be a couple in public, and there's no need for marking each other," "It seems arrogance is indeed a common trait among every Alpha," "What?" "Alpha Logan, what makes you think I would readily accept your proposal?" I continued, my voice now laced with a mix of anger and defiance. "Just because I'm a wolf-less unwanted daughter?

We grew up without parents, but I cared for Jennifer as a sister would. Nevertheless, she plunged a metaphorical knife into my back.
