The Big Sky Alpha novel Chapter 132

132. Weird traditions

COLT POV

It seems odd being here given everything that’s happened. Freya insists that we have to be here to keep the peace in the time being. She wants us to be friendly with the other packs so that we can all form a large alliance against the vamps.

Still though, being at a wedding away from our home just doesn’t seem right. If it were up to me, we’d be home and we’d never step foot outside our pack territory again. I do have to admit though, I enjoy being around Damon.

Alpha Damon is marrying his mate Jocelyn tomorrow night. Damon told me that I needed to let loose and enjoy the festivities because if it really is the apocalypse then fun isn’t something we’ll get to have much of soon. Freya agreed.

She went off with Jocelyn to do some things that I guess women do in the city before a wedding. Apparently, men have some things they do too. So, we’re off to do whatever the hell it is men do to prepare for a wedding the night before.

Levi came with me, thank the goddess. Having him here helps me feel a little better about this. I know the pack is in good hands with Ash and Sky watching over everything. Jessi stayed behind to take care of the kids. We are only to be gone for a few days for this wedding event and when we get back, I personally intend to never leave again.

We’re riding in this long vehicle of some sort, they call it a limo. Honestly, it seems like a weird rig to me. Damon has a handful of his most loyal friends with him. He said that we’re meant to

celebrate tonight as it’s the end of his life as a single man.

Damon has always been a party animal. He indulges in the things I generally try to keep away from our pack. I’m glad that Levi is the only one with me tonight because things like drinking this hard alcohol isn’t something I like my pack to be partaking in.

The place this weird rig took us to is another one of those things. I never would have agreed to go on this male wolf celebration thing if I would have known it was going to take us to a place like

this.

We pulled up to a place that had a large light up figure of a woman against a pole. The signs all over the building say “XXX” and “Live Nudity“. When I asked what this place was, I was met with a car full of laughter, with the exception of Levi who was just as confused as I was.

“You’ve really never been to a strip club before Alpha Colt?” Damon turned and elbowed me on the side of the arm.

“A strip club?” I echoed.

He laughed, “Your mind is about to be blown, my friend.”

Everyone got out of the long car and, hesitantly, Levi and I joined them. Something about this place instantly gave me a bad feeling.

I linked Levi, “Let’s keep our wits about us tonight.”

He didn’t even look over to me, I could see it on his face. He was on board with that idea before it was even spoken. He gave his head a quick and light nod.

When we walked in, the scent of sweat and alcohol invaded my senses. It took my eyes a second to adjust to the different lights all over the place, but once they did, I wished they hadn’t. I looked over to Levi, whose face was completely red. He was clearly just as messed up about this place as I was.

I looked back, eyes instantly filled with naked breasts and a***s hopping around all over the place. I looked around for Damon who was hollering at Levi and me to come to the table that they were sitting at. We’d been there for what felt like thirty seconds, but they already had a place right up against the stage with two women dancing together right in front of them.

Tonight was not going to be a night I enjoyed in even the slightest. I am not someone who enjoys this type of crap. The only naked woman I’m interested in is my wife. Even before the goddess blessed me with a mate though, I never would have been in a place like this.

I don’t think Levi even knew that a place like this existed.

“So, y’all ain’t never been to a place like this before? Damon asked us as he handed us a short glass with a very strong smelling, dark colored drink not even filling half of it.

I set the drink down on the table, “This isn’t exactly something we have hidden inside one of our

huts, brother.” I responded.

A couple hours went by, Levi has paid off the bartender to give us straight water instead of

alcohol. By the time we had been here a half hour none of these guys would have been able to tell

the difference between our glass of water and whatever the hell they’ve been drinking.

The sight of these women has made me ridiculously uncomfortable. I just know that when I tell

Freya this is the hell they dragged us to tonight she’s going to be so unhappy. Watching poor Levi

has made me feel so bad that I ever brought him on this trip. He’s definitely thinking of the hell

Jessi is going to have at home for him once he tells her about this place.

None of these guys are speaking in clear sentences anymore. They’ve bought more dances from these women than seems appropriate. They seem to know the Alpha so they’ve offered discounts, one even gave him a free trip to something called the champagne room as a wedding gift. Seems that he’s been here before.

A few more hours passed, and I was down right ready to get back to Freya.

“Hey brother, I am not feeling well. I am going to get a ride back.” I told Damon as I shook his hand.

“Colt, my man, buddy she’s not going to be there when you get back.” He said, in barely audible words.

“What do you mean?” I asked, I’m assuming he means Freya. I don’t know what other she he could be talking about.

“They’re doing the same thing as we are brother! They’re across town at a male strip club!” He smacked me on the back laughing. “Relax brother. Enjoy yourself. Tomorrow, we go back to our women!”

His words angered me.

“You mean, my wife is at a place like this?” I asked.

“Of course. It’s tradition. You honor the bride and groom by celebrating the last night as single people by indulging in fantasies and alcohol. You don’t do this?” He asked me, looking at me like this is such a crazy idea that someone wouldn’t celebrate getting married this way.

I looked over at Levi and I could tell he knew exactly what I was thinking.

“Alpha just play it cool. We’ll sneak out the back in a little and go get her. Don’t ruin this weird tradition of your friend.” He linked me,

I nodded to him, looked back over to Damon and plastered on a fake smile and laughed.

We all turned back to the crazy festivities. About a half hour passed and Levi got us an out. He had

the bartender call us a cab, whatever the hell that was, to take us to this male strip club.

I linked Freya, “We’re on the way to you.”

She didn’t answer me.
