“Scarlett, I called. Are you...." Cello stood there, watching me. “Are you okay?"

I wiped the blood away fast, making sure she didn’t see a thing before I turned. With a big smile, I turned to her.

“Yes, just a few loose threads I had to cut. You do look good. Let’s fix your hair."

Dipping my fingers in the product, I started messing with Cello’s hair until she started looking like a rock star.

“Scarlett, I know that you don’t trust anyone, not really, but you can talk to me."

I smiled at her into the mirror.

“I know. Some things are hard. I'm okay."

“My sister, I’m not allowed to talk about her, but she did the same thing. She couldn’t bear the life, the pressure. The wolf she loved was a fated mate to another. She started cutting herself. Just a bit. I saw her a few times, but I was young. We heal fast, I tried to tell my parents, but they dismissed me. Until one day.”

Cello’s eyes became sad and changed shape, turning into round manga doll eyes.

She turned towards me and hugged my midsection, pressing her face into my tummy area.

“I don’t want the same thing to happen to you. I’m old enough now. I can help you if you let me."

“Cello, I promise. I’m fine."

“One day, the cutting was not enough for her. She hit the bathroom mirror with her fist, took a shard, and pushed it into her throat. I found her, her blood sticking to the bathroom tiles. It was bad."

“Oh, God. How old were you?"

“I was nine. It still hurts badly."

“Oh, Cello. I’m so sorry."

She nodded. There was nothing left to say.

We walked out of her room looking good and ran toward the forest and the old mill. As soon as we stepped inside the confinement of the forest, we heard music calling out to us. All the sadness was forgotten. I wanted to run to the mill and party.

The night was dark. Luckily, we had damn good night vision. A few of the people standing around the keg looked familiar. I never took the time to learn their names. Someone pumped beer for Cello and me. A young wolf that Cello friend-zoned walked towards her. I nudged her softly.

“Cello, you’re here, so glad you could make it."

Cello looked toward me, asking me for permission to walk away with the cute guy, and I nodded softly.

I was aware that the guys around looked at me. My red mane was still wild from the bike ride, and my body looked perfect encased in the biker leather. The front of my jacket was open, revealing my generous cleavage.

“I’m so glad you’re here.” Kyle’s lips were close to the back of my neck, whispering, awaking desire and lust. “Dance?" His voice sounded like honey running over my skin.

Kyle smelled like beer and male, making my nipples hard and my skin hot. My V card was about to go down.

I threw one last look towards Cello. She laughed with the other wolf and showed me a thumbs-up sign. What I did was wrong. But tonight, as the moon appeared and we all danced and howled under its silver light, I allowed the beast to be free and wild. Kyle’s hands moved on my body, and I moved with the music. It was wild and free.

“Scarlett,” Kyle whispered.

“This is just tonight, a one-time thing. Okay?"

Kyle whispered a yes. He was so hard and pressed his cock against my ass. He would have said yes to anything I asked. We kept dancing, entranced by the music. The moon and alcohol flowed. Couples formed, but as I looked around. I saw that the notion of couples was rather loosely based. Some females had two, even three males, rubbing against them. Cello had two guys sandwich her in, and she looked as if she enjoyed every moment of it.

I danced with Kyle, the Alpha’s son, and no one would dare challenge him, not here and now.

My face was so close to him I could taste his lips, his blue eyes that smiled toward me and sent messages of lust and desire. Kyle was everything I could wish for to swipe my V card. Tall, handsome, sexy, and a good catch, not that I had any intention of keeping him. His chest pressed against mine, and he nuzzled my neck, sending shivers up and down my spine. His fingers played with my hips and his palm landed on my ass.
