A/N: I hope you all enjoy it!

Auden's pov:

The last few days of work involved travel and testing several security systems with paid break-ins. I only did it because the pay was great and I'll use it to spoil my mates a bit.

The only drawback is that I'd be away from my mates, from Gannon my only source of relief from the primal need to claim my mates already. So I was in a rush to get back to them but I needed to look presentable.

I took a quick shower, did some grooming, and was about to throw on anything comfortable when my phone pinged. Walking over to my currently charging phone, I unlocked it to see a notification from the group chat I am in with my mates.

An address to a frat party. I scrolled up the chat to see what I missed and purred in delight. Nia wanted to introduce us to her friends, another sign that she accepted us whether it was consciously or not.

So I put more effort than usual into getting ready wanting to impress my mates when they saw me. Looking myself over one more time in the mirror I nodded in approval before double checking I had everything I needed and left my apartment.

Walking out of the building I was greeted with a wolf whistle that made my head snap up from my phone. It was Gannon grinning at me as he stood in front of his car.

Looking over his outfit I grinned at him as I said, "Right back at you, gorgeous. You going my way"

He rolled his eyes as he opened the passenger side door, "I think so since I'm here to pick you up"

"Great", I laughed as I jumped into the car, sliding on my seatbelt.

On the drive there we talked about little things that meant everything. As He drove his free hand gripped my thigh in a way that soothed my need to mark and claim.

"When are we going to claim our mates?", Max growled the words in my head as he paced impatiently

"At the right time. You can hold out a bit longer, can't you? We don't want to scare anyone away", I reminded him why we were waiting this long.

He grumbled and curled into a ball and I placed my hand over Gannon's embracing the waves of warmth that came with his touch. I needed to soothe my wolf as much as possible so that I wouldn't snap upon seeing my other mates again after so long.

Arriving at the party I could see that the crowd of bodies was mostly humans. My nostrils flared as I tried to sniff out Nia from the crowd only to come up empty.

I did pick up on Roger and Cody in the kitchen and I led the way to them with a grin. Luckily I didn't have to wait long at all to see her because five minutes later I caught her scent.

"Guys", Nia's voice came from the left of us and we all turned to stare at her and the guy next to her, who she gestured to, "This is Alan. Alan these are my guys, Auden, Gannon, Roger, and Cody"

She pointed each of us out with a smile on her face and my chest puffed out a bit in pride at the way she said, my guys. I couldn't wait for that word to change to boyfriends or mates.

Alan looked at all of us before looking back at Nia, wrapping an arm around her waist as he said, "Let's dance. They are playing our song"

Nia tilted her head before her eyes widened, "Oh shit. You remember the moves?"

He laughed and let her onto the makeshift dance floor, and they danced. Moving together like the push and pull of waves, one hand in hers and the other low on her waist.
