Forgive and Forget

       You ever have those days where you just wake up and feel like "what the fuck am I doing?". Yep, this is definitely one of those days.

       The moon was full as we got out of Alice's car. Planning to meet Jason and Daren inside as we parked next to them. Our heels clicked on the rough street. The sound of doors slamming shut echoed throughout the parking lot. We dressed quite casual for this was a bar and not a night club. And I kept thinking to myself "how do I get into these messes?". Sakura looped her arm with mine, making my green jacket over my white dress stretch.

"This is going to be fun!" Sakura said cheerful. Looping her other arm with Alice, making them both laugh as I could do nothing but roll my eyes. My eyes flashing at the sign above the building.

The words "Note Bar" were written in nylon, it's blue glow falling on us as we headed for the entrance. A big tough male werewolf stood near the door. Wearing a tux as he acted as if he was in the secret service. His job was to keep all the humans out of the bar for this type of Alcohol would most likely kill them. You see it's almost impossible for a werewolf to get drunk, our system doesn't allow it. So we had to make a type of Alcohol that was much stronger, that way we could experience the full wonders of drunkenness. I know what you're thinking, "why would you want to experience this???". Well it's because we want to be human too. We want to enjoy all the experiences humans go through, even the bad ones. We flashed our wolf eyes for the Bouncer. He gave us the simple nod, allowing us access. Sakura squealed once we passed through the doors. A couple was serenading each other on stage. Shit! The Karaoke game had already started.

"Maybe you'll get picked to go up there Serena," Alice smirked. Nudging my arm with her's.

I rolled my eyes, "if I end up there, I'm running out of this club before you can even say Karaoke!" They both laughed at me.

I saw Jason's hand trying to wave us to the table. I started heading over there, smiling as Alice and Sakura were dying from laughter behind me. What am I going to do with these two, hehe.

"I see you finally made it." Jason's said cocky. A smug look on his face, okay we were 30 minutes late! But it was mostly his fault, he gave us the wrong directions.

"No thanks to your directions, you made us go around the whole city!"

"Nuh uh!"

"Uh huh!" We pouted like children. A moment of silence happened before we both started bursting out laughing. Us girls taking our seats as we all began to gossip. It's funny isn't it, we don't like dealing with drama but we love hearing about it. Like talking about how Mrs.Jeremy might be cheated on her husband with Mr.White. Or how Tina and Jina might be half-sisters. But the main story in this week's news was Ky and Rachel.

"Could you imagine the horror of having Rachel as our Luna?? We would be slaves!"

"Don't forget about the constant nagging." Daren said as he leaned back in his chair. His muscles flexing as his arms crossed over his chest. A image that any girl would drool over. But...hearing them talk about Rachel made me realize... that the way I reacted to Ky yesterday... was totally wrong. He wasn't the asshole, I was. I was a stupid girl trying to make something out of nothing. I overreacted, I was stupid, and a total ignorant bitch. We aren't even a couple and yet I freaked out like I was. Wow... talk about bitch 101.

"Having her as Luna would be a b-"

"That's enough." I said. Cutting Jason off mid sentence, making everyone turn and look at me. I was stiff, practically still. I felt like the person who gets into fights every night and everyone thought they were cool and wise. "If she's the Luna, so be it. She might nag, she might be a brat but if she makes Ky happy who fucking cares. If she makes our Alpha's life wonderful, then she is the one. And we will have to protect her with everything we got. Do you understand."

"Y-yes ma'am." They all said in unison, bowing their heads slightly. I took a deep breath and smiled.

"Good. Now let's drink!"

"Yeah! Waiter can you please take our order!" Alice asked politely. Getting the attention of a very handsome waiter. His eyes and his, cough cough, um...something bulged once his eyes fell upon Alice. Yep, Alice had that effect on the opposite sex of the race.

"Y-yes sweet cheeks." He replied shyly, walking over to Alice like a puppy obeying their master. He could not rip his eyes from Alice, he was enchanted. He looked at Alice as if she was a bone that was all his. A look that made Daren squirm in his seat and glare. Daren growled as Alice ordered all our drinks, shooting daggers into the guy.

"And that should complete our order. Thanks darling." Alice tapped his shoulder, shooing him off as she turned back to the rest of us. 3 out of the 5 of us were scared of the one. Daren looked furious. He looked at Alice, shook his head, and then excused himself. Alice running at his heels. I looked between Jason, Sakura and the direction where our two friends ran off. I did this for a while but then I pointed in the direction of Alice and Daren and made a "do I want to know?" Face.

"No," they both said shaking their heads. I decided to take their advice and sipped on my drink once it hit the table. Our waiter's face dropped once he saw that Alice was no where in sight. Let it go man!

Me, Jason, and Sakura chatted and as time went on our comrades joined us again. A happy Alice and a mild-calmed Daren. They acted like nothing happened so we acted like nothing happened and let it be that.

"I don't believe Tina said that."

"Believe it sister. I saw it myself!" Sakura said, pointing to Alice as she took a swig of her Bloody Moon.

"But-"

"Guys look!" Daren interrupted. Gesturing his head towards the door. Before I even looked at the door, I knew who it was. For his scent reached my nose before my eyes could fall upon his beautiful silhouette. I turned and low and behold, there he was. Tall, dark hair, and handsome with a little red head by his side, Rachel. My heart fell, but I mentally slapped myself. He's not yours Serena, let it go. Rachel clung to Ky's arm as they walked in, her posse right behind them. A few jocks from the football team were with them too, but that's nothing new. Rachel was stereotypical popular girl 101. You are bound to find a few jocks around her no matter where she goes. Ky, on the other hand, didn't look so happy. Or maybe that was just my imagination. They soon took their seats and I turned around. I ran my hand through my hair and took a big swig of my drink.

"Are you alright?" Alice asked, concern.

"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" I spoke with a smile. A genuine smile, one I was surprised by.

"Because of what-"

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!" The owner of the club spoke through a microphone. Standing on a stage that was set up with another mic and a karaoke machine. It was time for the singing to begin, a time a dread.

"It's your favorite time of night. It's time for.... KARAOKE!" The crowd bursted into roars of joy. Rushing to their seats as they waited for the two victims to be picked.

"It's time to choose the singers!" He roared, talking like a circus ring master. The audience applauding and howling. Wow, people were really into this kind of stuff. It was at that moment two spotlights began to hover through the crowd. Searching for the two people who will sing against each other. It was dead silent as people waited in anticipation. The air so thin that if you made one sound it would collapse entirely. Then in one moment the lights stopped and I was internally screwed.

"Our singers, please stand." Never have so many curse words went threw my mind. Taking a deep breath, I stood for the light had chosen me as it's victim. Little did I know... the other light chose him too. I looked to my right and we locked eyes. God, why did he look like an angel in that blinding light. Why did the pure sight of him make me gasp and breathless. God, why am I such an idiot.

"You," the owner said, his long bony finger pointing at me. "What is your name."

I tilted my chin up, "Serena, Serena Havenmoon."

"And your rank?"

"Beta, first Beta." When I told him I was ranked as the "first Beta", every strangers' jaw dropped. For it was uncommon that a female would be the right hand of their Alpha.

"That's quite rare, congratulations."

"There's no need for congrats."

He smiled, liking my spunk. "I see. Good for you," he then looked at Ky. His eyes widening in familiarity. "I know you boy, why you're Ky Sever's future Alpha of the Eclipse pack."

"You are indeed correct sir."

"I know I am, I always am." He laughed. "Please, a round of applause for our two singers. Serena and Ky upon the stage please!" The crowd broke out in applause as me and Ky rushed upon stage. Hopping upon the wooden surface simultaneously, practically almost falling into each other. I couldn't look at him, it was hard to look at him. But I have to apologize, I have to look him in the eye and say I'm sorry. I have to, how? I don't know, but it must be done. We want behind the two microphones that were propped up on stands. The owner coming up to talk to us in a hush.

"I'm sure you two know how this game works right? You sing a duet and best singer wins free drinks for the whole table all night long." We both nodded in reply, reads for what he threw at us.

"Good. Now let's begin." He was beyond excited as he walked behind the Karaoke machine, picking a song of his choosing. A list of songs appeared on the giant flatscreen TV in front of us. He scrolled down to the song called "Rolling in the Deep - Glee Version".

"Perfect!" He exclaimed and picked the song. He ran off stage as a small video intro played on the screen. The lyrics following soon after and rolling in the deep began to play. Of course I was the one to sing first. Kill me. I held the mic up to my lips and before I knew it, the words just spewed out of me.

(Play video)

There's a fire startin' in my heart, Reachin' a fever pitch and it's bringin' me out of the dark.

It was then Ky's turn to sing.

Finally, I can see you crystal clear. Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare.

See how I leave with every piece of you. Don't underestimate the things that I will do.

His voice was more than just beautiful, it was godly. Warm and gentle, mysterious and yet powerful. It sent chills down my spine and I was dazed just by watching him.

There's a fire started in my heart, reachin' the fever pitch and it's bringin' me out of the dark.

It was at this moment, he ripped the microphone off the stand. Determination behind his eyes as he turned and looked to me. Singing with all the pain, lost, and sorrow that I had caused him. Letting me see what I've done to him. Letting me see... that he wasn't going to let me walk out of his life so easily.

The scars of your love remind me of us. They keep me thinkin' we almost had it all.
The scars of your love they leave me breathless. I can't help feelin'...

I ripped my mic off of it's stand as well. Challenging him with my eyes and my voice. We kept our eyes locked as we sang as one, our voices turning into a loud explosion of amazing sound.

We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep!
You had my heart inside of your hand.
And you played it to the beat.

Baby, I have no story to be told. But I heard one on you and it's gonna make your head burn. Think of me in your depths of your despair. Makin' a home down there as mine sure won't be shared.

The scars of your love remind me of us. They keep me thinkin' we almost had it all.
The scars of your love they leave me breathless. I can't help feelin'...

This time when we sang the chorus we held nothing back. Our emotions more raw and genuine.

We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep!
You had my heart inside of your hand.
And you played with a beatin'.

The next few lines was like we were fighting each other. Singing warnings to the other, making sure that each of us knew we meant business.

Throw your soul through every open door.
Count your blessings to find what you look for.
Turn my sorrow into treasure gold.
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what've sown.

Yeah, we could have had it all.
We could have had it all.
Yeah, it all, it all, it all.

It was at this moment when our voices exploded in powerful emotion. Feeling the space with all the emotions we bottled up. Letting us finally breath.

We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hands.
And you played it to the beat.

You could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hands.

And you played and you played and you played
And you played it to the beat.

The world was silent as we finished the song. Our eyes not daring to move as our lungs gasped for air, the only sound. Then, as if a switch had been flipped, everyone bursted into applause. I looked away and onto the crowd, my cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

"That was amazing!" The owner jumped on stage with a smile on his face. Looking at the crowd. "Weren't they fucking amazing?!" The crowd cheered in response. The owner turning to us, congratulating us on how well we did.

"You two were unbelievably amazing and I wish I could give the award to both of you, but unfortunately there can only be one. So please, everyone, shout out the name of your winner."

The room was filled with our names. People screaming at the top of their lungs who should be justified to win. It was clear that my name was said more often than Ky's. With a wave of his hand, he hushed the crowd. Making them wait in anticipation.

"And your winner is... SERENA!" He roared grabbing my hand and lifting it to the sky. The crowd in triumphant applause. After I said my thankyous, I rushed off the stage and to the bar. Needing a drink to help calm my nervous heart.

"A shot of Jack Bane please." I asked the bartender. He gave me a smile and nodded, polishing off a glass and pouring me a shot. "Thank you." I gulped the whole thing down. Startled by the sudden hand on my back.

"You were amazing." His voice was like silk. Warm and smooth. Putting the glass down, I looked to the man who I had mixed feelings for.

"You weren't too bad yourself." My voice was soft and nervous. Fiddling with the small glass in my hands as Ky gave me a genuine smile. "I have to apologize. I-"

"Serena you don't have to-"

"No, I do." I took a deep breath. Looking into his beautiful dark brown eyes. "I was a total bitch and I shouldn't have acted that way towards you. You have the freedom to kiss or date any girl you want. I shouldn't haven't gotten so mad, it was stupid of me to act like that. I didn't know what I was thinking. But I hope you forgive me."

"Serena I was never mad at you, I-"

"Kyyyyyyyyyy!" Rachel called his named from across the room. Her hand gesturing to come here. I sighed softly as I looked at her.

"You better get going. You don't want to keep your date waiting." I exhaled, a genuine smile forming my lips into place. 

"Serena-"

I chuckled, "go Ky! Before she gets antsy. I'll see you later."

"Promise?"

"What?" I asked, confused. He took a step forward, his eyes filled with longing and a mix of emotions. He was so close that his breath fanned my lips. My cheeks flushing as I didn't dare to break eye contact.

"Do you promise that you will see me later?" His words were desperate and almost needy. It seemed like if I didn't say yes to his question, he would disappear. The thought of him disappearing scared me.

"Y-yes, I promise." Why was my voice so shaky?

He smiled, his eyes lightening up as he took a step back. "Good. So you later then." He walked off with a hop in his step. Rachel's lips spreading into a smile as she watched her knight in shinning armor return. I sighed and turned back into my seat. Playing with my glass as I faced the bar.

"Boyfriend of yours?" An unfamiliar voice questioned as it came from the right. The voice was rich and... dark. Like the night sky that dances through the woods. I looked at him and it was as if my tongue was tied in a knot. He was wearing a black business suit and he looked like, maybe, two years older than me. His hair was jet black and his eyes were a ravenous blue. He was sitting as if someone was painting a portrait of him. Stretched out like a king on his throne.

"No, he's just my Alpha."

"He seems a bit close to just be your Alpha."

I stiffened from his statement. His eyes turning red. "I see your an Alpha yourself."

His eyes faded back to his blue. Letting a small chuckle pass his lips. "The name is Sebastian Blood. Alpha of the Dusk Pack and you are?" He held out his hand as he introduced himself. Wanting a handshake. I grabbed his hand, shaking it in a greeting.

"Serena Havenmoon, first Beta of the Eclipse Pack under Alpha Ky Severs."

"First Beta huh? You must be pretty strong to be ranked as his first." He said smugly, take a sip of his tequila.

"You have no idea." I watched him as his glass was placed back on the bar. "How old are you?" I asked.

"20, you?"

"18."

"Still young huh?" He smirked. A glint of trickery in his eye.

"You're only 2 years older than me. Besides I'm still old enough to kick your ass!"

He laughed at my statement. Shaking his head as his chest moved with every chuckle.

"Didn't your mother ever taught you not to talk to strangers?"

"I know your name, so if you assault me I could totally report to the cops. And besides you talked to me first."

"Touché, touché."

We sat there talking to each other for hours and hours on end. It was strange. It was strange that talking to this stranger made me happy. It was strange that I laughed so much with this stranger. It was strange that we some how got along. It was too strange! We noticed that the bar was closing up and I also noticed that the Betas had left me. Probably got so drunk and tipsy that they forgot all about me. Oh well it happens.

"It seems my ride has left me. Probably got too drunk and just left." I chuckled as I got off the bar stool.

"How you going to get home?" Sebastian's eyebrows creased in concern. I shrugged, unsure of that answer myself.

"Walk home most likely or maybe taxi. I could go through the woods."

"Why not let me take you home?" His question was more of a statement. I gave him a look.

"My mother did teach me not to get into a stranger's car. Especially a man's car."

He put his hands in surrender, "I'm completely sober and I have no intention of taking advantage of you."

Hmmm. I contemplated for a while, a long while. Like it's not my fault that my friends got so drunk that they left me. I could call Ky but he's probably still with Rachel. And even if I did call him it would take him at least an hour to get here. If this guy does try anything I could always break his arm and run away. I gave a long sigh and finally came to a verdict.

"Alright, I'll let you take me home. But only to the nearest block and if you try anything I will break your arm."

"Deal. Feisty one aren't you?"

"The feistiest!" He chuckled from my response. Lending my his arm as he lead me to his car. It was a brand new, slick, black Mercedes Benz. The car looked so expensive. He held the door for me to get in the passenger. Closing the door once I was in and had my seatbelt on. He hopped into the driver seat. Revving up the engine as he pulled out of the parking lot. Driving the speed limit of course. We only talked more in the car. I asked all kinds of questions. What he did, what his Alpha life was like, just general questions. In 20 minutes we soon came to my street. He parked along the block that was well, one block away from my house.

"Thanks for the ride." I said in appreciation. Opening my door, about to get out when he grabbed my wrist.

"Will I be able to see you again?"

"W-would you like to?"

"Yes, I would."

His words sent an unknown feeling through me. A warm and fluttery feeling. "I'm sure you will."

"How will I find you?"

I smiled smugly. "I'm sure the stars will help you." And with that line I hopped out of the car. Walking too my house as I felt his eyes on me the whole way. I heard his engine turn on and I watch as he drove pass me. Turning the corner once he was far away. I ran my fingers through my hair. Damn, it was already one in the morning. Exhausted and drained, I walked through the front door. Slouching up the stairs to my room, not making a sound. I took off my heels, placing it in the closet as my dress came off next. Taking a shower before I put my pajamas on. Flopping down on my bed as I crawl into the blankets. Turning off the lights as I passed out into my subconscious.

Off in the distances a black Mercedes Benz pulls up to it's home. It's owner weary and tired from a long night of speak. His mind filled with memories of the girl he met tonight. Those memories lingering with him through the night.
