➸ CHAPTER 9
Kendra Martinez's POV

After Archer ran out of the gym, I went back home to take a shower.

Since I was awoken at 8 am, ate at 10, then trained at 1-2 o clock. I have 5 hours till the party. Yes, I do take my time to calculate and plan my schedule. It's ridiculous but effective.

After showering, I dressed up simply and went downstairs to search for my best friends.

I followed their scent and it lead me to the movie room. Once I entered, I noticed that Abby and Ronnie were watching shadowhunters. "Guys!" I called out. They seem to jumo from my voice.

"Hey, you're back!" Ronnie stood up.

"Yeah, um I need a favor." I told them, looking anxious.

"What do you need, Kendy Wendy?" Ronnie asks, whilst I scowled. I hated that nickname but I just let it go.

Sighing, I asked, "Will you accompany me to the tattoo shop?" I said looking nervous at their reaction.

They looked at each other, then at me. A huge smile broke on their faces, filling their expressions with joy.

"Ofcourse! Finally, Kendra, you're doing something that's... Not you, I guess." Abby spoke. "Anyway, It is your birthday. We will come with you."

With that, us three went to the garage and took the keys to my McLaren. I turned to my friends, just in time to see their jaw dropped. I look at their expression to see they were completely shocked.

"What? You have a motorcycle and a car!" Abby said exasperated. I nervously laughed.

"Ha-ha, yeah my parents gave me each." I smiled. I'm so glad of my generous parents.

"You rich bitch!" Abby laughed. We went inside the car and Ronnie drove us to the tattoo shop near downtown; it is pretty big.

"Hello! How may I help you?" A girl with black hair, covered with tattoos and piercings asked me kindly.

"I would like to get a tattoo please." I smiled. This is so exciting.

"Okay, we have an available staff." She said as she called a guy with tattoos all over his body. He may have these tattoos but he was truthfully handsome though.

"Hey, I'm Bryce. What tattoos would you like?" He asked. He's quite big, packed with muscles, but looks friendly.

I checked the designs, scanning here and there. I just wanted a simple one yet vibrant one. I finally made my decision. "Um I want uh, flowers on my left hip and a dandelion on my back. But, please, I want the ink to be vibrant." I said excitedly. A vibrant hue of a tattoo was probably something cool to look at.

"Sure! It's pretty simple. Do you want piercings too?" He asked.

"Wait-what? You have piercings as well?" I asked. I'm curious.

"Yeah we do and Jenna over there handles it." He pointed to the girl we encountered a while ago.

"Okay, let's get started." I told him. The faster we start, the faster we finish.

+ + +

The rose tattoo took about 45 minutes whilst the dandelion took 20.

Heck even, Abby and Ronnie got a tattoo. Abby's tattoo is a compass on her wrist and Ronnie's tattoo is a blue anchor with roses on the back of her neck.

Each tattoo has a meaning.

I wouldn't put a tattoo on my body for no reason. I always wanted to have a tattoo because I was so fascinated with the ink and the design. It was another form of art on your body.

We decided to get piercing as well.

I wanted to get a belly button piercing. I was having too much fun and I know my father would kill me if I ever had a tattoo or a piercing other than my ear but I'm 18 now so I honestly don't give a fuck. And no one would see the tattoos unless I'm in a bikini. Which I don't really want to wear.

The belly button piercing didn't really hurt a lot as I imagined. I got a 14k gold with a real diamond belly button ring.

What can I say? I'm not cheap. I'm classy.

After everything they've done, we paid them, tipped them, and thanked them. They did a lot. We then went straight home for I knew we had to prepare for the party.

When we arrived home, we went straight to my room.

Ronnie and I curled our hair while Abby wanted to keep her red hair straight. I put eyeliner on all of us. I was pretty good with eyeliner. Only because I did went through an emo phase. I had to put dark liner to make myself intimidating. But after that, I stopped because I was lazy to do that everyday. Ronnie's makeup was like a girly one with a pink lip gloss and shimmery eye shadow. She looks like a princess. Abby's makeup is different. She just went for a nude lipstick for her lips were naturally red, eyeliner, and blush on.

My make-up is different, matte and I just went for a natural look. I chose earthy colours and a red lipstick. I then contoured my cheeks so it would look like I had high cheekbones.

Then we wore the perfect dresses for us.

Ronnie's dress was a teal or turquoise colour with a nice cut and paired it with her black stilettos and cream coloured purse. Whoa, that dress made her ass look firm and all. It also made her grey eyes pop. Her blonde her matched the beautiful teal dress.

On the other hand, Abby is wearing a strapless Little-Black-Dress with nude pumps. She was gorgeous and her fiery red hair looked really vibrant in her outfit. Abby's chest was really perfect for this dress. Firm like seriously, hers is natural and all.

My dress is a white peplum dress with a sweetheart neckline. I paired my dress with a red closed toe heels. I then swept my brown curls to the side. My 'assets' look okay in the dress though. Since the dress was strapless, You could see the dandelion tattoo on the back.

With our outfits, it looked like we screamed class not trash.

Well, I felt good to be honest. I am usually uncomfortable wearing dresses but I guess I felt alright. I do remember my dress to prom. I shuddered for I didn't want to remember that day.

Suddenly my phone rang. I checked the screen. Kenneth's name appeared.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Kendra? Where are you? The party is starting and you guys are still missing in action." Kenny said. I can't hear him that much because there was a loud music playing in the background.

"Yeah, we're still getting ready." I told him honestly.

"Make it quick! You're the birthday girl. There's a ton of people that you need to meet!" Kenny bellowed excitedly.

"Okay, I'm going now. I'll see you there." I finally said, then closed my phone off

We grabbed our clutches and went down the stairs to the garage. I unlocked my car and the three of us went inside my McLaren 12c, driving to the pack house.

It took us like 10 minutes to get there. As we neared and parked, there was a lot of bright lights flashing and the music was so loud. It was a good thing the pack house was located in the forest. There were no neighbours that'll complain.

When we entered everyone stopped and turned to look at us. The pack house was filled with energy tonight. I thought. I could feel myself start to blush from all the stares but Abby and Ronnie were confident and just had a smug smirk. Yep, they know they look dope.

My brother then appeared and greeted me and my friends. He gazed a lot at Ronnie though. Aww does Kenny have a crush? Didn't think I'd notice, huh?

"Sis! You came!" He smiled brightly, hugging me.

"Well, it is my party after all." I told him jokingly.

"Let's go make an announcement." He said and dragged me to the DJ station.

"Attention everyone! You have to fucking listen to the birthday girl." He shouted and captured everyone's attention immediately. Then my brother passed me the microphone.

What should I say? Well, whatever. "Hey guys! How's everyone doing? I just wanted to say, thanks for coming. Enjoy and have fun at this party." I said quickly, and they cheered once the music played again.

My brother and I decided to separate. I went back to my friends, who were now with Mason and Scott.

"Dudes, do you want any drinks?" I asked them. I heard a chorus of 'yes' but Mason volunteered to get the drinks. I turned to Scott.

"Hey there." I said smiling brightly.

"Hey beautiful, happy birthday." He returned the smile. "Oh yeah, here's your gift." Scott said with a genuine grin and handed me his gift. I blushed. What the hell? I kept on blushing tonight. I grabbed the gift from his hands and put it on the gift table.

"Thank you, Scott. That's so sweet of you." I placed a hand on his shoulder.

Suddenly, Mason came back with our drinks in hand. Giving us our beverages, we drank a lot but not to the point that we'd be wasted. Actually, by the fact that we were werewolves, makes it harder for us to get drunk.

"Kendra, would you like to dance?" Scott asked me.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Archer talking to Brandi. I didn't think he'd show up. Brandi then, was touching his arm and I couldn't help but get angry. Yeah, I know he rejected me but he doesn't even have to keep reminding me. I get it, I swear.

I wouldn't let their actions faze me. Taking Scott's hand, he led me to the dance floor saying, "Let's go!" As we started swaying, there were a lot of dancing sweaty bodies that would rub against us.

We started dancing to the beat of Wake Up In It by Mally Mall . I could just feel the music and started to sway my hip. I turned to look at Scott dancing as well. We were moving and dancing in a sexy way. I then felt pain. Tearing my eyes away from Scott, I looked around trying to find my mate but what I saw sent me to a fucking frenzy.

I saw Archer kissing Brandie.

'That bitch! Let me at her.' My wolf growled in my head, snarling at the thought of them. I knew he was disappointing. I felt a pang on my chest.

No! It's my birthday. I don't want him to ruin this! Calm down, Kendra. Act naturally. So I tried to pretend that I didn't care, even if it was so damn difficult, and turned back to Scott, wrapping my arms around him.

Truly I don't give a damn anymore. I could feel the eyes of other people as I swayed to the music. I tried to put more effort on the dance too.

Suddenly, I could feel someone's gaze burning me. I know who it is, all too well.

I spun around and locked eyes with none other than my mate's. He was scowling at me and Scott, though he does not have the right, I could see the hints of lust in his eyes.

He was truly bipolar.

His eyes were alluring that I never broke I contact with him when I was dancing with Scott. I only did when the song was finished. I turn back to my mate's direction but he disappeared. Gone in a flash.

Scott and I agreed to meet up later so I headed down to the kitchen to get some beverages. While I was getting a beer in the cooler, someone pinned me to the refrigerator.

Sparks.

It was obviously Archer.

"What the f-" I said but was cut off. "Why were you dancing with Anderson?" Archer demanded.

I ignored his question and said, "Damn it! Stop doing that!" I said putting a hand on my heart. He better fix that habit.

"Answer my question. Why were you dancing with him?" He asks with a scowl on his perfect features.

"Why not? Scott is my friend; I wanted to have fun and let loose." I said with a shrug.

"You have to stay away from him! You're mine, damn it!" He suddenly exploded. Not again. He has no right to be jealous for he lost the privilege when he rejected me.

"Are we back to this again? I'm not yours! You fucking rejected me and I accepted your rejection. You have got to let me go Archer." I snapped. He keeps on saying bullshit! I'm so confused. He rejected me, insulted me. Now, he fucking gets jealous.

"I'm sorry!" What- "I'm sorry, okay?" He said, stressing out the sorry.

"I want you back! I swear. Being without you is driving me crazy!" He shouted. Did he really just say that he wants me? This was probably a game, after all, he is a player.

"It's not you. It's your wolf's need that is driving you mad. You have got to stop this right now." I said. Maybe his wolf was pressuring him to be with me. I don't want to be with him because he feels guilt.

"I'm really sorry though. I know you aren't the type of person who forgives quickly but I'll win you back. I vow it." He said as he handed me a small box.

When I opened it, My eyes widened. Holy moly. Inside was one of the most beautiful necklaces I have ever seen in my entire life. It was a necklace with a red diamond pendant. How could he afford this? I closed the box.

"Where did you get this? The necklace probably cost you a fortune. I can't take this." I told him, handing the necklace back.

But he pushed my hands away, saying, "No, please take it. This necklace has been in my family for years." He said sincerely and continued.

"May I?" He asked. I couldn't say no to the gift. It would be rude if I rejected it so I didn't reply and just nodded my head; I couldn't trust my own voice. I turned my back on him and he touched my nape. Grazing his fingers softly, he clasped the necklace around my neck.

I could feel my wolf purr as he kissed that part of my neck. I moaned. Oh my gosh! I did not just do that. I couldn't help it. He was just so tempting.

"Stop." I gasped out as I felt his canines extending and grazing the skin of my neck. I also felt his length, hardening against me. I turned around swiftly.

"Archer, thank you for the lovely gift but I still haven't forgiven you yet." I told him and walked out of the kitchen like a queen, still, forgetting the beer and never once looking back at his direction.

He wouldn't get with me that easy.

As I approached the table, I ran into Abby. "Hey girl!" She shouted. I just laughed. She was a tad bit tipsy from the way she moves but Mason would take care of her.

"Where is Ronnie?" I asked her. Then another voice seemed to pop out of nowhere.

"Here!" Ronnie said. She looked breathless and that she had just wrestled with a heavy weight champ.

Whoa wait a minute- A hickey? "Where the hell have you been?" I asked narrowing my eyes. She just looked around not once making eye contact. I know that look. She's nervous.

"Um, n-nowhere." She stutters. I sighed and didn't want to pressure her. We all need a moment to forget things. Then she looked at the necklace that Archer gave.

"Holy shit! That's a beautiful necklace." She said looking fascinated at the gems. That was probably my reaction when I first received it.

"Yeah, Archer gave it." I shrugged. She just wagged her brows at me.

"What? Ooh our plan must be working." Abby wiggled her brow.

"He wants me back but I still don't want to forgive him yet. I don't think he deserves it." I sighed.

'No! He deserves it! He and his wolf wants us!' Yeah, yeah, whatever.

"Well, when are you going to take him back?" Ronnie asks. Hmm. When? It might take time.

"If he's already a changed man." I answered simply. I stood up saying, "Girls, I am just going to dance. Join me?" They stood up too, and we went to the dance floor. I felt my best friends separating from me so I was dancing by myself again. Swaying my hips to the music, a guy went up to me. He pulled me to him and we dancee to the beat. He was basically rubbing himself on me and getting touchy. Yet, I didn't mind because he was an fine dancer.

We kept on dancing for a few minutes till someone grabbed me again.

Sparks. I groaned. It was Archer again. He will be the death of me.

"What do you want?" I asked him through the music. I stopped dancing for he was being his annoying self.

"Nothing, just dance with me." He said huskily as he met my eyes. Lust was currently present in his.

The old song started to end and was replace by one of my favorite songs called Body Language by Kid Ink ft. Usher. Oh cool. I love that song. Hmm, I guess one dance won't hurt.

With that, we danced to the upbeat music. I wrapped my arms around his neck and swayed.

"You're mine." He whispered. "All mine." His eyes suddenly darkened with desire. Archer ran his hands up and down my body, making me gasp in delight. My wolf was making my body heated at the moment. He does not only have an effect on me, but my wolf herself.

"Dance with me like the way you danced with that other guy." He said, growling possessively. He spun me around and pulled me to his hard body, making me flustered. He was now rubbing himself shamelessly on me.

I could feel his erection again. Damn, he was big. Kiera growled for she likes the thought. 'See? You love It.' My wolf teased me. I should have pulled, should have been disgusted yet, I am not.

Then I started moving seductively, making sure our bodies touch. I couldn't help it. He then placed his hands on my hips and lips on my ear making me shiver in delight. I moaned when he was nuzzling his nose on the skin of my neck. We were still dancing to the beat and still nobody takes notice of us.

He then squeezed my hip and I whimpered. "Archer." I moaned out. He released a growl. Shit! I think his wolf was coming out.

"You're so fucking sexy right now. I want to peel that dress off of you." He groaned and said it more to himself.

I didn't say anything and just bit my lip. He growled again. "Stop biting it or I'll bite it for you." He said as he shot me a mischievous look. My wolf released another purr. Hearing him say that, must be her undoing.

Then his wolf took over. Taking full control of Archer's body. He was now looking at me with a hungry expression. He took my face in his hands and was about to kiss me when a sudden pain tears through my body.

Holy shit. That hurt!

Even my wolf was whimpering.

Another wave of pain hit me like a truck.

Why am I feeling this excruciating agony? I groaned, closing my eyes. It hurts so bad. I then heard Archer's voice but I couldn't make out of it. It was unclear and blurry. The only thing I could feel was the pain. All my sensory nerves weren't functioning properly. I couldn't see that clearly nor hear that well, it was still there though, but I only could only feel.

Suddenly, I heard a voice that commanded me to 'shift'

Oh fuck no,

Not now!

I felt the music in the background died and someone brought me out of the pack house and laid me down on the soft soil. I felt nothing but excruciating pain. My bones were cracking and shifting. I screamed. 'We could get through this. It's the right time for me to come out.' I heard my wolf's voice.

Pain.
It was still there.

I was screaming in fear and agony. Imagine if you felt all your bones, twisting, and breaking inside. I felt my body heat up. It was too hot as well. Like, fire was inside of me, tearing my body up.

It lasted for a few minutes till suddenly,

the pain stopped.

I groaned for my bones felt sore.

I took a look around my surroundings and every wolf or pack member was there outside witnessing this. What are they looking at?

Why were they so shocked?

After the thought, I suddenly felt dizzy. Like the world was spinning. Those black dots appeared in my vision and with that,

Darkness consumed me.
