VICTORIA'S POV

"Let's go girls!" Tina shouted as soon as all of us sat in the car. ​​

"Girl, I do agree with Katie, you look so damn hot today!" Tina said as she looked at me with furrowed brows.

"But, you'll look hotter, if this will not come in between." She said before opening the top button of my shirt that made a little bit of my cleavage on display.

"Hey, it's not a good idea," I said as I tried to button my shirt, however, when I looked at the button, it was broken in two.

'Just how much strength did this girl used to break my button without me knowing about it?' I grumbled while looking at her.

"Haha...she is right. Live little babes. It's not like your aunt Marla will be at the party." Angela said as she looked in the mirror while driving the car.

'They were indeed right about it. Why was I acting soo stuck up on things? Besides, it was not like this was anything inappropriate.' I thought.

Earlier when I had seen that a lot of cleavage was being shown in the shirt, I had buttoned it to the top, so that no one could judge me by saying I was doing it deliberately, showing my cleavage.

But now that I think about it, wasn't that thought useless? Why would anyone judge me when we are going to a club and not to a church?

The rest of the ride went silent with everyone busy with their phone while I was busy with my thoughts and in no time we were standing in front of the gates of the club.

"You guys go. I will come after parking the car." Angela said.

"I will come with you." I immediately said, wanting to pep-talk myself a bit more as I felt my heart beating loudly when I heard the loud sound that peeped outside whenever someone opens the door.

After Angela parked her car, we started walking in the direction of the entrance of the club.

'I wonder if Xander was here yet? How will I find him in such a big place?' I thought as I walked along with Angela who was chatting with someone on her cellphone.

"Hey, beautiful." Someone said from behind us when we were about to enter the club, and from the voice, I knew it was none other than Alexander. Call the devil and devil's here.

"Hey!" I smiled turning around to face him.

"You guys talk. I am gonna go inside now. I can't control this adrenaline anymore." Angela said before laughing and going inside the club.

"So you came." He smiled as he looked at me with his adorable smile. He was wearing black ripped jeans and a t-shirt which was paired with a denim jacket and his hairs were styled back. He looked handsome all in all.

"Yes, I came and you can see it since I am standing in front of you," I said laughing.

"Aren't you coming in?" I asked as I turned around to go inside the club.

"Wait!" He said. He looked like he wanted to say something to me but was hesitating over it.

"Whatever it is, shoot fast. If the girls don't find me inside they'll come out to practically pull me inside. I was warned." I quoted laughing when I remembered their warning about how they would take me out to every clubbing all week if I don't enjoy the night.

"It's just, you look pretty." He said. I could see his ears turning a bit red at that and it made me want to awe at him.

"Well, thank you. Now let's go." I said.

"No, wait!" He said as he pulled me away from the entrance, towards the parking lot, as if sneaking.

"Well, you are not thinking of going inside the club, looking like that, are you?" He asked as he looked anywhere else but me.

"No, I am doing a cosplay. And since I have already shown you the dress I am gonna change in the washroom."

"Seriously?" He asked wide-eyed, believing my sarcastic remark.

"Obviously, not Dumbo. Doesn't I being here in this dress means that I am gonna go inside in this one?" I asked as I looked up at him.

And did I mentioned that we were in a compromising position right now? Like Alexander was practically leaning on me to hide me from others while talking to me.

As I was reminded of our position and how close his face was, while his body was practically touching me, I started feeling hot again.

'No, now is not the time.' I said as I started to panic inside my head.

'Don't panic. Nothing will happen if you have it in control.' Carla reminded me and I took a deep breath to calm my nerves down, which resulted in me inhaling Alexander's intoxicating scent.

Oh boy, how much I much want to eat this candy!

"You can't go in looking like that. I don't want lusty men to look at you with that dirty gaze. I can't let it happen." Alexander said as he held my hands before pushing me on his car, making my back hit the car with a soft bang.

"Shut up Alex. We are here to enjoy. I don't think there is anything wrong with this dress. It's not like my body is on full display. Besides this is the second time you are offending me by commenting like that. Did you even notice Angela that went inside the club? The girl was wearing a crop top and a miniskirt with a deep cut." I said as I looked him straight in the eyes.

"What Angela wears or anybody else wears has nothing to do with me. My concern is only you, okay?" He said as he brought his face closer to mine.

"Why am I your concern? Why do you feel such strong sense towards me? Is it because you pity me as a girl who doesn't have anyone to look after or something along the lines?" I asked, myself not knowing where did it come from.

"Of course not! How did you even come to that conclusion? Has all my care for you and attention, seen as a pity towards you, by you?" Alexander asked and I could see the pained look in his eyes, showing that he was hurt by my words.

"No, I didn't mean it like that. It's just I am confused okay? It's like you are my closest friend here and I don't want to lose you, no matter what." I said changing my words when I wanted to say it because I like him a lot and didn't want to lose him.

"Hey, I am right here. No one's gonna snatch me away from you, okay? No one can even if they want to. Didn't I tell you, you are my mate?" He asked as he hugged me placing my head on his chest.

"Well, that doesn't make a difference. I am Daniel's mate too, and Chris, Aiden, Angela, Katie, everyone in the group." I said meekly as I hugged him.

My hands around him became involuntarily tight when I suddenly heard a deep growl from around me.

"You are only my mate. And you will always be the only mine." Alexander said as he forced me to look him in the eyes.

His eyes, there was something strange about his eyes. I don't know why but they remind me of someone. Like I know him but can't recall.

Releasing the hug, he took out the jacket he was wearing before forcefully making me wear it.

"You're gonna wear this and stay close by my side. Let's go and enjoy the night." He said before kissing my temple, making me go hot all over again.

I could feel some hotness shifting over to my hands and before I could realise it, the bush behind us was on fire.

'Oops!!' I thought, thankful that Alexander didn't see it felt it.

'The first thing you are going to do tomorrow is practice how to channel and control your powers.' Carla said more like ordered as she rolled her eyes at me.
