“But what about dad, and his reputation? I tense up in Mateo’s hold. “He’s going to be so angry at
me when he finds out people know he doesn’t really want me and he blames me for mom’s death.
He’s going to lock me in my room for a week after this. Maybe worse if the Luna yelled at him.” can
feel my panic rise, shallow breaths coming in fast but providing no oxygen, and I start to try and get
off my brothers lap to go back to the house and hide, waiting for the storm to hit.
“Don’t you dare try and leave and he won’t be mad at you.
He already knows what we have been doing all day. Luna Ava set him straight pretty fast, I have
actually never seen her use her Luna aura before, but it was impressive. I am actually more scared
of her than of the Alpha think. He was told if he couldn’t behave like a parent grateful for an amazing
child, then he could make himself scarce for the day.”
“But—” He got in trouble with the Luna and she used her aura on him. I was going to be in really big
trouble, he might actually harm me this time.
“No buts, this knowledge changes nothing. He has known for three days that we were going to do
this. I thought
Sierra was going to rip my arms off when I told her today was your birthday and we had nothing
planned. She is also very scary, you have some fierce women who care about you.” He gave me a
little sideways smile, that I’m sure gets his way with any girl he wants. “You are going to enjoy the
rest of the night with us. Like we told you, it’s tradition and you are a part of the crew now.”
you guys really do breakfast, shopping and a barbeque for all of your birthdays? I ask skeptically.
There is no way they do this with just each other. They are all attention wh•res_ They probably have
raging parties that they invite the whole school to. I wouldn’t actually know, I’ve never been included
in Mateo’s birthday before.
“On our actual birthdays, yes, this is what we do. We don’t get up nearly as early as we did for you,
that was brutal by the way. But, with your training schedule it was hard to beat you out of the house
this morning. I am going to sleep the whole day tomorrow to make up for the lack of sleep last
night.”
“Don’t act like you don’t stay up all night with your extra curricular females and get up and function
the next day.” scoff at him playfully.
“They don’t stay all night, we take care of needs and they leave.”
“AH! La La La La La! I don’t need details.” I cover my ears.
He pulls my hands down laughing. “But I still get more sleep having than I did planning and
executing your party with that crazy friend of yours and the Luna.” I scrunch my nose,
but at least he said his conquests leave when he’s done with them. I don’t know if I could handle
facing any of his bed buddies the morning after.
“Okay, enough is enough. You are done with sibling bonding. He’s a d*ck and he’s sorry. The rest of
us are stupid and didn’t pay any attention to what was going on around us and we are sorry. You,
being the gracious person you are, forgive us wholeheartedly. Now eat your damn cake, I slaved for
minutes choosing it at the bakery and getting the icing to match your eyes just right.” Sam saunters
through the back door with the largest slice of cake I have ever seen and sets it in front of me. les a
two layered cake with chocolate on the bottom and vanilla on the top and some kind of caramel in
between the two. I took a small bite, it was heaven on a fork. I close my eyes and moan a little bit as
the flavor explodes on my tongue.
“If that’s all takes, Little Bit, we can continue this
“Don’t you finish that sentence or you will be searching for missing teeth.” Mateo growls out. I try to
hide a laugh, but Sierra and the rest of the guys just roll their eyes and laugh along with Sam’s
antics as they join us. shift to sit next to Mateo on the bench and finish my cake.
