Chapter CHAPTER 41: 22ND
I wake up with a smile, it's my birthday!
I get out out of bed and see Luca on his laptop, he looks in my direction and smiles.
"Hey Lily" I wave, he knows when my birthday is but why isn't he saying anything?
'Maybe he doesn't realise' I shrug.
"I have to go out, I will be back soon" he kisses my forehead and I sigh sadly my eyes dropping to the ground.
Even the day I was born isn't worth it...
I sit on the couch and look out the window, I lay back on the couch and close my eyes.
Maybe he is to busy to remember..
~~
"Hey Lils!" Storm chirps, I don't mention it's my birthday because she should know as well.
"Hey" I whisper.
"You okay?" I put on a fake smile and nod.
Tyler walks past and waves to me with Xavier and I frown "Luna alpha would like to see you" I nod and walk to his pack house office.
I open the door and he looks up "so we need to accept you in the pack soon" I nod.
"When?" He shrugs.
"Next week maybe, why don't you go home okay?" I don't let a tear fall, I turn around and walk away.
I hear talking and I walk into the ball room, everyone goes silent "hey Luna!" They bow.
I sigh and look down walking out, I walk into the house and upstairs to Luca and I's room.
I jump on the bed and take a deep breath 'they really forgot didn't they?' I nod.
"They did" I whisper out loud.
Sleep never fails me or anyone... Sleep is a break from this dreadful reality...
Tingles. I feel tingles shaking me, no. Hands, I feel the warm hands of my mate shaking me as he whispers flower into my ear.
I groan and open my eyes to see darkness and the silhouette of Luca "what?" I grumble.
"Get up" he says.
"What time is it?" I ask sitting up.
"6:00 at night" I look outside to see darkness.
"Why is it so dark?" I question.
"Well it's the 31st of May today so that means it's winter tomorrow!" I stand up. "Now follow me" he grabs my hand and drags me downstairs, outside and to the pack house.
He opens the door and yet again darkness meets our eyes, suddenly lights turn on and music starts playing, neon colours on everybody glowing.
I gasp and look at Luca "happy birthday flower" he smirks.
I squeal and jump on him wrapping my legs around his waist "I thought everyone forgot" I whisper happy tears coming out of my eyes.
"No one could forget babe" he kisses me on the lips slowly and I smile.
He pulls back and places me on the floor, he reaches behind him and pulls out a jewellery box.
He opens it and a beautiful Pandora tiara ring sits inside, I gasp"it's beautiful."
"That's not all" he smiles and pulls out another box handing it to me, I open it and see a silver looking necklace with a gold and silver looking heart attached. "It's a united in love necklace, it's not actually silver," he smiles and I grin. He gets out another box and I look at him wide eyed "you didn't have to get me anything" I whisper.
"Of course I did."
He opens it and I see another silver looking Pandora bracelet with a pavé heart clasp, I get it out of the box and hanging on it is a 'me you, forever' charm that is silver and gold.
I hug him tightly peppering his face with kisses "I love you so much."
"I love you too" he whispers.
I put on the ring and the bracelet while Luca puts on the necklace for me, Storm walks up to me with a jewellery box and a wrapped present. "Happy birthday slut!" I laugh.
"You forgot my birthday 'slut' I thought we were best friends!" She smirks shoving the box into my hands.
"Of course we are! Open it" I open it and smile inside is a pandora charm with the infinity sign and a love heart saying forever friends.
I hug her "awe I love you" I grin.
"Now this is getting weird" he says joking.
I pull back and slap her lightly "I love you too!" She chirps and I grin.
She shoves the wrapped up present and I open it, tearing at the paper. Inside is a shirt, I unfold it and laugh straight away.
There's a photo of her with a double chin and underneath saying 'best friend.'
"Turn it around."
I turn the shirt around and smile tearing up, there's a photo of us with or arms around each other and crazy faces. "Thank you" I whisper.
She smiles "it's a gift from Tyler and I" I laugh.
"Really now?"
"Yup, he's good at that shirt sort of stuff" I laugh.
"Now let's get you dressed appropriate for this party" I grin and follow Luca upstairs.
He throws a neon pink singlet at me and white shorts, I take off the clothes I'm wearing now and throw on the new clothes.
He wraps an arm around me "I need to tell you something" I nod for him to continue "when your accepted in the pack you have to mate with your mate straight after its always a religious thing just in case they are lying about having a mate here or if they are planning to attack; when they are mated they are bound to be loyal to the pack."
I give him a small smile not showing my worry "okay" I whisper.
"Okay?" I nod and he smiles "great, let's go downstairs" we walk down stairs and he leads me to a paint section.
"What do you want Luna?" She asks, I look at the designs.
"Lines?" She shrugs and paints my face with blue neon paint. She then does my arms and legs until I'm glowing, I grin.
"Now let's party!" I cheer and run to the dance floor.
I jump up and down to the beat of the music and Luca laughs, Storm and Lexi come up to me.
"Happy birthday!" I hug her "your present from Xavier and I is on the table over there where all the pack members put their presents."
"None of you didn't have to get me anything" she waves me off.
"Nonsense" it's true, none of them should of got me a present. This party is a present to me.
"Now could all the couples get on the dance floor" someone says on the loud speaker.
I look around for Luca and feel tingles on my arms, he spins me around to face him and I smile. "Let's dance!"
So it's her birthday!!
