A Mate's Bite(26)

“Jordan!”

She grinned. “I’m just saying.”

Ellie hung up. “Okay, he says he swears Karla is getting her groove on at his club and Nate’s going to be there any minute. Apparently Mason is trying to keep some human teens from entering the club, so he has his hands full and didn’t get a chance to speak to the Karla on the dance floor. He said Nate’s left Thirsty Wolfe to come see what the commotion is. Mason said he’s trying to stop the impending bloodshed.”

“Come on, I’ll fill you in on our way. It’s not a clone. They would probably be easier to handle than Kass. Remember that sister I told you all I don’t talk to? Well, we’re sort of identical.”

“Uh-oh,” Nicole rushed behind them out the door. “I sense family drama story coming.”





Karla lived closest to the Horny Wolfe. It didn’t take them long to get there. Nate’s bar, Thirsty Wolfe, was furthest from her, but he had been on his way before her. When they arrived, the place was packed. The doorman took a look at Ellie and Barbara and moved out of the way.

Music bounced off the walls. Lights blinked in a way that could give anyone a seizure. She could hardly hear herself think through the noise of the crowd and booming bass beats. Fighting her way toward the dance floor, she arrived in time to see Nate approach the dance floor from the other side, moving in on Kass.

Kass rolled her hips between the two men, allowing them to grind into her crotch and ass. She wiggled her chest. Her breasts bounced in the tiny material that barely covered her large assets. She curled one arm around the guy behind her while at the same time tugging the one in front of her until there was no room between the three of them.

“Does he really think it’s you?” Emma yelled.

“Not if he knows me.” She watched him shove people out of the way, a fierce frown dipped between his brows. Breaths froze in her chest. Nate, her Nate, was walking up to Kass and the thought of him anywhere near her sister hurled the acidic taste of bile from the pit of her stomach to the back of her throat.

“Let’s get up there.” Ellie moved up behind her.

“Hang on a second. I want to see what he’s going to do.” She’d lost a lot of boyfriends in her youth to Kass. They were identical after all, but this was the first time she worried what Nate would think when he realized there was another person who looked exactly like Karla out there. Kass had played the ‘I’m the sexier sister’ all their youth. And each one of Karla’s boyfriends had fallen hook line and sinker for her. They’d gone from being with Karla to being a new diversion for Kass. The insecurity from her youth tried to push up to the surface.

“This is stupid. You’re the one he wants. He’ll know it’s not you the minute he reaches them.” Jordan argued. “He’ll scent it.”

Maybe. Or maybe the scent of booze, sweat, and sex would disguise the difference. It was stupid, but she wanted to see what his reaction would be to Kass.

Her breath faltered in her chest when he reached the trio. He tapped Kass on the arm to get her attention and said something.

“What’d he say?” She asked no one in particular.

“He’s asking her who she is,” Barbara answered.

Her sister took that moment to smile widely at the big, sexy shifter and threw herself in his arms.

“What the hell?” Nicole shoved closer, almost screaming in Karla’s ear. The sound, coupled with the loud music, starting a massive migraine in her head.

Ellie and Jordan burst into laughter.

“She gets points for originality.” Jordan giggled.

“Gotta hand it to her. We thought men had corny pick-up lines, but she just outdid them all.” Ellie chortled. “She told him she was his wet dream come to life.”

Karla’s normally pacifist attitude went out the window watching Nate try to peel her sister off him. “Not in this lifetime.” She shoved people aside, her mind tuned only to Nate and Kass. She stomped her way to the center of the dance floor. “Kass! Get off him.”

Kass released Nate and turned to face Karla. Her long dark hair hung super straight to her elbows where Karla’s frizzy strands were being held up but a messy ponytail. Kass wore a white mini with spike-heeled sandals and a peek-a-boo see through baby blue top. She looked like she always did, ready to try her hand at seduction. Meanwhile, Karla couldn’t tell if her sweats were stain-free or not. Oh yes, and she had on sneakers in the middle of a club dance floor.

“Shit. They really do look the same,” Emma muttered.

“I’m the pretty one.” Kass grinned and pointed toward Ellie and Barbara. “Let me guess. The Wolfe family Kel talked so much about?” She waved to Emma and Nicole. “And you’re the other little teachers Karli works with.”
