"Perfect," we both said in unison.
Leo's P.O.V.
"Come one, man! We need to leave the hotel now if were going to make it to the New Years party at a reasonable time," Alex shouted since he was already by the door. I sighed, running my hand through my hair. Some of my pack was staying at some hotel in New York since the New Dawn Pack was having a New Years party and we were invited. I walked out of the room and to the door. Alex and I exited the hotel room and headed towards the elevators.
"Why are we going to this, again?" I asked. It's been almost a year since Eden's left, and a lot has happened since then. I became the Alpha, Alex became my Beta, and Jackson became my third in command.
Since Alex, me and some others from my pack came to New York, Jackson stayed behind in Minnesota. I haven't wanted to go to parties or anything like that ever since Eden left. Jackson and Alex still miss her, but they've slowly been able to get back to their lives.
"Because you haven't done anything fun in almost a year. Plus, we might finally meet our mates," Alex said. I never told anyone that Eden was my mate. That it was my fault that she left.
"Yeah..." I said, trailing off at the end. We had gotten into the elevator and it was now in the lobby. We went outside and hailed a cab, giving them our destination. The party was going to be at another hotel not too far from here. Why we didn't choose to just stay at that hotel, I have no idea.
It didn't take long for us to get to the hotel, and since we were running late, the party was in full swing. We showed the person at the front our invitations and were immediately let in.
"This is going to be fun!" Alex shouted over the music. I nodded, even though I didn't really agree. He immediately went into the crowd while I went to the bar I sat down and called the bartender over.
"Hi, what can I get you?" She asked seductively, looking me up and down. She was a red head that had a nice body. She was pretty hot, but I didn't want her. I haven't wanted anyone since Eden left. I'm not going to lie, I have had sex since she left. I'm an alpha and have more urges than an average werewolf, but I never really enjoyed it. It was because I wanted Eden, my mate.
Eden's P.O.V.
"You guys look amazing," Dylan said. He was wearing a pair of nice jeans and a black button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
"Thanks," we said in unison, smiling. We all headed outside to Dylan's car and piled in. Dylan pulled out of the driveway and headed to the hotel where the party was being held.
"We're here," Dylan said as he pulled up to a hotel in the city. We got out and the valet drove his car away to be parked. When we entered the party, it was in full swing. I smile was on my face, this was definitely going to be fun.
We walked a bit farther into the party and I froze, my smile instantly being wiped off my face. Pine cones and maple syrup. That scent. I knew it. It was his. The person that was the reason why I left. The one person that I've tried to forget about. Leo. He was here.
