Chapter 6: Birthday Lunch - Amelia

last update Last Updated: 2022-04-10 18:08:27

Returning to the packhouse Zara’s appearance gets a lot of notice. People nod in respect, some look concerned while others are smirking. Vitali bounds over to us with a big smile on his face.

“Good morning birthday ladies. Want me to hose you down?” he asks jovially. Zara just snorts, though I can tell she is very tempted by the offer of playing with a hose. Sometimes she’s like a giant puppy dog.

I heard that! How very dare you?!” she exclaims making me chuckle. Zara pushes herself back and pushes me forward as I take over the shift and with a quick burst of heat I’m back on two legs and throwing my clothes back on.

“So what did you find for her this time?” he asks curiously.

“A moose, a huge one,” I grin proudly as his eyes widen.

“Not that I’m surprised, but way to go, Zara,” he applauds making Zara preen inside my head. The moment is interrupted by a scoff nearby and of course, it had to be coming from Ryker.

“As if you brought down a moose. I can picture a lot of wolves doing it, but not you,” he says snidely causing Vitali and me to roll our eyes. This guy is an absolute moron. My wolf is larger than his in every way and an Alpha; taking down a moose is child’s play for us.

“Ryker, I think you need to make a visit to Dr Richard’s office,” I say while walking towards the packhouse with Vitali in tow.

“Why would I need to do that?” he asks in confusion.

“Because something is clearly wrong with your sense of smell, otherwise you would have smelt that the blood I am currently covered in was moose blood,” I tell him impassively and hear Vitali snigger while Zara is in hysterics in my head.

Ryker stands there; his face blank with surprise before it morphs into anger. I can tell he wants to hit me, but I ignore him. Idiots like him are not worth my time. Though I did always wonder… since he’s so convinced he’s going to be the next Beta you’d think he’d be kissing up to me as his future Alpha.

The Alpha and Beta have to be in sync and act like a well-oiled machine, which is one of the many reasons I’m giving the role to Vitali.

“Is that dickhead ever going to grow up?” Vitali asks as we walk through the packhouse.

“I am pretty sure that ship sailed long ago,” I tell him.

Passing through the house I get more nods and birthday wishes and it makes me feel great. Vitali is telling me how excited he is for the party tonight while we walk towards the stairs, when our conversation is interrupted by Beta Declan.

“Happy Birthday Amelia,” he says flatly.

“Thank you so much,” I say giving him my best smile which makes him scowl. I don’t know what this guy’s problem is but he’s always so sour around me, and I know it pisses him off when I don’t retaliate so instead I just kill him with kindness. He’s looking at the blood all over me, but his face looks almost calculating, which is not the reaction you’d expect from someone in this situation.

“I hope you saved some of your energy, you’re going to need it for the ceremony,” he says smugly, but there’s a sinister look on his face when he says it that has Zara growling in my head. “Enjoy your day, Amelia,” he says as he walks off.

Well that wasn’t ominous at all,” Vitali says through the pack-link so no one can hear us. I nod in agreement as we head up the stairs.

That guy has always hated me. I’m starting to wonder if Ryker is going to be one of the people to challenge me tomorrow,” I speculate much to his surprise.

That pipsqueak?! He doesn’t stand a chance against you, challenging you would be suicide,” he announces.

Not disagreeing with you but think about it. He refuses to acknowledge me as his future Alpha and if he at the very least thought he’d be getting the Beta position he should be trying to get on my good side, but he’s not and then there’s the comment his dad made. All signs would suggest Ryker plans to challenge me tomorrow,” I say calmly.

After a moment of silence, Vitali doubles over in a fit of laughter.

I’ll go get the shovels now shall I?” he asks making me laugh.

I promise this isn’t ego talking. I know how strong and capable both Zara and I are. Not only do we outrank Ryker but he barely ever trains, so performance-wise he’s weaker than the average wolf. Even Torie can kick his ass; that says a lot about her skills and his lack of skills.

We get to the Alpha suite, and I step in to…

“SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” Is shouted from my parents, Gamma James and Lacey, Tyson, Delta Xander and Kennedy, Evalyn, Chris and… Mei?!

Shit.

I quickly duck behind Vitali. This is the first time she’s come out of the Delta suite and she’s seeing me covered in blood. Just great.

I’ve got her, Amelia, she’s not looking,” says Chris through the pack-link. I’m glad he figured out I wasn’t just scared of a surprise; that would be embarrassing.

“Thank you so much for the surprise everyone. I’m just going to go shower and then I’ll join you all.”

I speed off to my room which is through the door on the left of the communal area. Once I’m in I rush to the bathroom, throw my clothes in the hamper and step into the shower and work to scrub all the blood off me. I really hope I haven’t just contributed to Mei’s trauma. I’m starting to think I should have let Vitali hose me down outside.

After a very thorough shower, I complete my usual morning routine and then head into my closet to pick something to wear. It’s my birthday so I want to look nice. I pick out a lovely white maxi dress with blue floral prints on it, bishop sleeves and a low sweetheart neckline. Very feminine. I put on a pair of white strappy wedges with cork bottoms and then put my hair up in a large hair clip since it’s still wet.

I make my way out to the communal area, my eyes looking for Mei.

The Alpha suite is almost identical to the Delta suite, the only difference is our suite is all blacks and whites. The kitchen is all black fixtures and cabinets with a black island and white marble countertop. The room is covered with a black carpet because white would be a bitch to clean. The living area has a large half circular white sofa around a white coffee table facing a large electric fireplace, bordered by black shelves with a large plasma screen TV on the wall above it. Behind the couch is the dining table which is a large rectangular glass table with eight white upholstered dining chairs. The walls are a soft grey which is the happy medium between the whites and blacks.

If you’re wondering how large the sofa is, comfortably it can fit nine people, but if you squish everyone together then you can squeeze in thirteen. This means everyone can fit on the couch comfortably, but I notice my parents, Uncle James and Aunt Lacey have pulled over some dining chairs instead.

Mei is tucked under Chris’s arm sitting on the edge of the sofa furthest away from me, so I slowly make my way over and kneel in front of her.

“Mei?” I say softly to get her attention. She looks down at me, I can see nerves but I’m not sure if it’s me or just being out of her room. “I am so very sorry you saw me like that, if I upset you or made you uncomfortable in any way I truly apologise,” I say gently.

“Chris said it wasn’t because of an attack,” She says quietly. I notice he keeps gently rubbing her back.

“No attacks I promise,” I say giving her a warm smile. “It was a birthday surprise for my wolf, Zara,” I tell her, and she looks at me confused. “I see today as our birthday not just mine. So I like to treat her with something good to hunt. She loves it, though now I’m feeling a bit bloated,” I chuckle patting my belly. Mei gives me a genuinely warm smile and Chris looks a mix of surprised and elated. I can hear his heart pounding fast while he kisses her temple causing her to direct her smile at him and now I think he’s going to pass out.

“You have a special relationship with your wolf,” she comments sweetly.

“I sure do,” I grin. “She’d love to meet you eventually; when you’re ready of course,” I say.

“I would like that,” she says smiling and nodding and now Chris has tears in his eyes. I think their bond as animais is going to kill him. “Maybe… I can shift, and you can see what I look like too,” she says while wringing her fingers in her lap. There are a couple of gasps while the rest of the room goes silent and I can tell it’s making Mei even more nervous and so can Chris, so he pulls her closer.

“Are you sure you’re ready for that?” he gently asks. She looks up at him taking a breath.

“Not today, but maybe soon. I think I can trust everyone here,” she explains. He hugs her tightly while smiling.

“I promise we are all here for you and we all want to see your shifted form, especially me and Axel. We won’t let anything happen to you. Not ever,” he vows. She smiles and kisses his cheek making him blush through his beard.

Too cute!

I look around and see all the happy faces, and it makes me proud to call these people my family. I see Tyson on the other side of the couch trying to hide the tears in his eyes. He may look all macho on the outside, but he is someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. Evalyn is cuddling him and looking at him sweetly.

Which reminds me...

“No grandpa and grandma?” I ask sadly. Dad just gives me a gentle smile.

“Sorry sweetheart, their flight got delayed so they won’t make it on time. But they’ll be here for the Alpha ceremony tomorrow,” he promises. Sucks I won’t see my dad’s parents until tomorrow but that’s better than nothing.

Vitali walks over and hands me a small white box with a blue ribbon around it and a card tied to the ribbon.

“This is from my mum and dad. They’re still visiting my Aunt’s pack in Hawaii so they can’t be here. But they sent this and wish you a very happy birthday and said – and I quote – ‘be sure to give hell to anyone who challenges your title’, they also told me to record the whole thing” he grins as I chuckle.

“Great, you can be the camera crew for tomorrow.” I joke, open the box and finding a stunning blue topaz hairclip that’s been shaped to look like a blue hibiscus. It’s so gorgeous I can’t help running my fingers over it. I take it out and immediately clip it into my hair.

“How do I look?” I ask as I model the jewel in my hair. I get many smiles and nods.

“It suits you perfectly, and it goes lovely with your dress today,” my mother praises. I glance down at my dress and chuckle. She’s right, it matches perfectly.

“My present is next!” chimes Evalyn.

I spend the rest of the afternoon opening presents and enjoying a delicious lunch prepared by the packhouse staff. I know I said I was bloated from the moose, but like I said, we wolves have a fast metabolism, so I was ready for more food by the time lunch came around.

My day could not have been more perfect, surrounded by the people I love. Note that the Beta family wasn’t here, not that I’m surprised. But I did overhear my father venting about it to my mother during lunch. He was pissed off and felt extremely disrespected. It’s not that they have to be here for my birthday, I sure as hell don’t want Ryker near me – or any of them for that matter. But they were personally invited by their Alpha and rejecting the invitation for no good reason is extremely disrespectful. While I didn’t personally feel slighted – because I genuinely just don’t care – It did make me more apprehensive about tomorrow.

This just further leads me to believe Ryker is going to challenge me and while I don’t feel the least bit bad for what will inevitably happen to him, I do feel sad for his parents. They’ll end up grieving the death of their only son – unless he taps out – and I’m certain it’ll shatter my father’s friendship with Declan, although I have noticed it hasn’t been so great over the last few years. I think if dad didn’t know I was taking over he would have replaced Declan as Beta ages ago. But that’s just speculation.

The highlight of my day so far was seeing Mei interact with everyone. She’s really starting to come out of her shell, and it was great getting to know her as a person. She fit right in, and everyone loves her. I can’t wait to officially make her a member of this pack. This is her home and where she belongs.

Eventually, everyone went their own ways to start getting ready for the party. Mum headed off to check on the setup, dad went off with his Gamma and Delta to make sure the patrols are tight this evening, handle some other pack business and maybe even scold his Beta; I didn’t ask.

I’ve decided to stay in what I’m wearing; I see no reason to change. I can still dance the night away in this outfit, so instead, I decide to go lay down in my room and take some time to reflect.

You’re worried about tomorrow aren’t you?” Zara asks gently.

No, not worried,” I shake my head.

“Then what? You can tell me,” she encourages.

I wonder how many there will be. Dad hinted that there would be more than one,” I answer.

So? We’ll take on every single one and make them regret it. We were meant for this; I know you know this. No one is going to stand in our way,” she says confidently. I smile at her optimism.

What if it’s too many? The more fights we have to participate in the weaker we’ll get. The last challenger might win by default just because I was exhausted from the other fights,” I say voicing my concerns. I know I can tell Zara anything and she’ll never judge me for it.

Hmm. That’s a valid concern. Though we’ve taken on dozens of curs at a time and come out unscathed, but then again they haven’t had the training your challengers have. Not counting Ryker of course.” That last comment makes me laugh.

So let’s go in with a game plan,” I tell her to which she nods in agreement.

I like a good plan. What do you have in mind?”

I think I should fight in my human form for as long as I can, only letting you take over when I feel my strength waning. After that I’ll let you take over, this would give me time to get my strength back. If we’re still fighting by the time my strength comes back and you feel you’re getting weak then we’ll come together and show them just how united we are,” I explain. I watch as she paces back and forth full of anticipation like she’s already pumping herself up for the fight.

See, while we’d share injuries, we’ve learned to use our individual spirits to reserve energy. We can use it and lend it to our other half to aid in combating fatigue or even speed up healing. Like I said, we’re the ultimate team.

This is an excellent idea and a perfect strategy, though I expect no less from you. It’ll also mean potential opponents won’t be able to predict our moves as the fights go along since they won’t know what form we’ll be taking or when. This will give us an element of surprise,” she agrees. “We’re going to make a terrific Alpha, Amelia. I’m proud of you already.” Feeling and hearing Zara’s pride for me has me feeling very emotional. I wipe away tears as they form in my eyes.

I’m proud of you too, Zara.”

    Before I knew it, it was quarter to six and the party was about to start. I get up and slip my shoes back on and take my hair down which now has a natural wave in it from drying while up in my hair clip. I once again make the journey downstairs to the back of the packhouse and down to the training grounds and holy crap! It looks like an outdoor club. I’ll say this for my mother, she knows how to throw a party. The smell of different types of foods is permeating the air making me salivate and my stomach is instantly ready to pig out again. If I weren’t a wolf I’d be the size of an elephant, I swear. The training ground is almost unrecognisable except for the bleachers. The track and sparring field has been covered by a massive light-up dancefloor that can fit the whole pack. Tall speakers surround the dancefloor and down the far end, a DJ booth has been set up. Closer to the packhouse are tables with all assortments of foods and I even notice there are strobe

    You ever have those moments in life that feel like the calm before the storm? That’s what I’m realising yesterday was. Yesterday was filled with joy and celebration, but ever since I woke up this morning I’ve felt the clouds of impending doom lingering over me. Bad things are coming. Call it wolf senses, women’s intuition or whatever you like, but I can feel in my very bones that trouble is waiting for me just around the corner. The day has been another round of festivities. The outdoor rave was dismantled in record time and replaced by a good old fashioned barbeque. Picnic tables with the classic red and white checkered cloths have been set up around the back of the packhouse and a small stage has been erected. I’m dressed in a simple white satin blouse and a full length ruffled white skirt with white sandals. Casual but classy. This should be a positive setting, but unlike the excited energy, I felt yesterday, today everyone feels apprehensive and it has me on edge

    The pack is making their way to the training field as I get to the backdoor, my mind replaying all the fights and training I’ve seen Declan in over the years and what strategy I can come up with. I’m deep in thought when Ryker steps in my path blocking the doorway. “I can’t wait to see my father sink his teeth into your pretty neck. But honestly, I hope he shows you mercy because I’d just love to have my fun with you when this is over,” he says sickeningly. I suppress the shudder of disgust that wants to roll over me. I want to hurl; Declan and Ryker have some serious screws loose in their heads. I look up at him, my eyes and face devoid of any emotion, causing him to blink in surprise. “Watch your back, Ryker. Because after I kill your father today, my eyes will be on you,” I say impassively and I watch him gulp, shock evident on his face which he quickly replaces with a snare. “Enjoy death, bitch,” he hisses before storming off. I smirk and head up

    This past week has been hectic as hell. After getting challenged; killing two people I was practically raised by and getting my nose fixed, I got started on my Alpha duties. The following day we had a ceremony officially making Vitali, Tyson and Chris my Beta, Gamma, and Delta. It went off without a hitch and the transition process for the most part has been pretty smooth. We then had a small funeral for Beta Declan and Saree, to which very few showed up to. Since then we’ve been in meetings each day going over pack paperwork and evaluating the current state of the pack and discussing what changes – If any – we’d like to make. Tyson has begun implementing his new training regime which everyone seems to be loving so far. As the Gamma, his job is to oversee the training of pack members, our warriors and handle overall pack security. His father wasn’t thrilled about him making changes to the training routine of the pack, but once he saw it in action, the pride was all o

    We’re one week away from the Vernal Ball and there has already been another threat mailed to me since then. A generous offer of ‘Give up now and I’ll let you live.’ It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. As wolves we’re no strangers to violence, when someone wants to pick a fight, we fight. But this person wants to toy with me first, try and get in my head, make me paranoid. Can’t say it’s working. I’m not scared and I’m definitely not paranoid, in fact, I’m grateful for the letters and I look forward to the next one. Each letter I receive tells me a bit more about my invisible enemy. In the first letter, they made sure to refer to me by my name but never call me Alpha directly. This is a blatant form of disrespect among wolves and is enough to start a feud, so this tells me they do not see me as a real Alpha. They want my pack, so that means they’re power-hungry. The fact they offered to spare me if I hand over my pack denotes arrogance; they think they’re doing

    Standing in front of the full-length mirror in my closet I look over every inch of myself repeatedly. I can’t remember the last time I was this nervous. Right now, the urge to throw up is extremely high. Tonight is the night of the Vernal Ball and I have been working tirelessly to make sure everything is perfect. Mum and Evalyn took over for a bit so I could come upstairs and get ready and now I’m just trying to steel myself to go downstairs. For tonight I wanted to look my best, so I’ve done light makeup going for a natural look. My blonde hair has been styled in curls and pinned into an elegant up-do, with moonstone clips decorating my curls. My dress is probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever put on my body. The dress has a sheer high neck at the front with a V-cut in the back and is adorned with black sequined patterns scattered over the sheer fabric. It moves down into a sweetheart bust with a dark green bodice adorned with black sequin patterns. The bodice

    The intoxicating scent is flooding my senses and I can barely focus. My feet start moving of their own accord in search of the source. I move past a few people and that’s when I see him. At that moment it was like time stopped. All sights and sounds had funnelled out and all I can see is him. “ANIMAI! HE’S OUR ANIMAI!” Zara starts screaming in my head like a foghorn. She didn’t have to say it. I knew it as soon as I smelt him. He looks… there are no words to describe him. He is positively the most gorgeous man to ever walk the face of this earth. He’s 6’5”, with luscious shoulder-length black hair that I desperately want to run my fingers through. He has deeply tanned skin and his green/brown eyes – that reminds me of the forest in spring – are glowing brightly as he stares at me. I think I’ve stopped breathing. He’s inhumanly gorgeous. He has a wide jaw, a full but pointed nose and plump lips that I want to devour nestled among a neat short

It’s like the mutolupus version of speed-dating if you ask me. A bunch of singles coming together, moving around a big room hoping to find a partner and if you don’t find them you leave feeling like shit. Not my idea of a fun time. I’d love to find my animai, I’m twenty-four now and while I enjoy casual hookups, they don’t satisfy that empty feeling that can only be filled by your soulmate. Yet, I still don’t like going to these events, call me stubborn. We’re sitting in the Peugeot Traveller on our way to the Invictus Pack for the yearly Vernal Ball. It’s their turn to host this year. In our car are two warriors riding up front then me, my Alpha Jasper, and my Luna Isabelle in the back.

    It’s been a month since the Luna ceremony and life has never been better. We’ve had a lot of new changes – mostly to hierarchy structure in the pack. Eric, as the second Beta of the pack, has taken on a lot of ‘traditional’ Luna roles. He oversees pack events and gatherings and his pack support group continues to work wonders. He’s basically the pack’s resident therapist, which I’m realising many were in desperate need of. Being superhuman beings we tend to brush aside our mental health and wellbeing and it’s definitely something that needed to change, so I’m thrilled it has. Evalyn still holds the title of Gamma but now she works alongside her brother Chris handling pack finances. She’s not as skilled in that area as he is, but the woman knows how to budget and she’s a good go-between for the pack and Chris. Evalyn was never going to be built for fighting and physical labour, but she wants to contribute as a ranked member, and nowhere does it say how those bonded to a ranked member n

    We enter the main space, but he doesn’t stop, he pulls me straight into the bedroom and I can hear his heart beating faster. “Marcus, I– ” My words are silenced as he presses me against the door, devouring my lips and sucking the air right out of my lungs. My body’s reaction to him is automatic; instinctive. I fist the lapels of his jacket and pull him against me, needing to feel his body crush mine. Our lips are moving at a speed that screams hunger. “Hearing you stand up for me like that was one of the sexiest things I’ve ever fucking heard,” he growls seductively as he trails hot kisses down my neck as his hands explore my body. “I couldn’t stand her talking about you… like that,” I breathe out trying to remember how to speak as his kisses send tingles of pleasure right to my core. “Fuck, I love you,” he says as his mouth latches onto my mark and his hands knead my breasts through my corset. A cry of pleasure leaves me as his tongue lavishes my mark and wetness pools between my

    I don’t have to walk too far before I’m standing in front of Jessica. I must admit she puts herself together very nicely. She’s wearing a beautiful ivory gown that hugs her slender frame. It has a built-in choker with a triangular front and half-open back and a high slit at the front of her right leg. She has her hair wild and free and has kept to simple gold band earrings, a gold bangle, and nude strappy high heels. Elegant and flattering. “You wished to speak to me,” I surmise. “I had hoped you would do the right thing before it went this far, but you proved me wrong. You’re his animai, you’re supposed to show him respect, instead, you are ruining my son. Everything he has worked for his whole life; gone in an instant. You’ve taken him away from his friends, his family, his home and turned him into…” she trails off with a spiteful look on her face. “I’m going to stop you there,” I interject.

    He did it. He really did it. I’m so elated that tears keep stinging my eyes, but I don’t care if people see me cry. Growing up I always figured I’d run this pack alone. That anyone the Goddess sent me wouldn’t want to be with an Alpha and certainly wouldn’t want to be a Luna. I tried to mentally prepare for it until the day Marcus blew into my life like a tornado. We have had highs and lows and through them, I still never thought we would be here. Marcus is now a member of this pack and its rightful Luna. I know he will care for everyone around him and fight to protect them; it’s who he is. I know that any fight or battle I face, he’ll be right there beside me and vice versa. We are one now in all the ways that matter. We’ve gone around chatting with pack members as he properly introduces himself to those he hasn’t met yet and receives welcomes and congratulations from everyone. My family and friends are so happy for him and for us and seeing them support Marcus, means the world to

    The doors swing open, and my jaw almost drops. Don’t get me wrong, what Amelia did for the Vernal Ball was stunning, but this is magnificent. Or maybe it’s because this was done for me that has me so in awe. I’ve never had anyone do anything like this for me in my life, but she did. I don’t know how Zarseti thought I deserved this woman, but I’m glad she gave her to me. The glass doors around the room have been opened and red rose garlands and green vines with fairy lights hanging from the ceiling frame every entrance. Gone are the full-length wooden tables and instead the room is filled with circular tables just like at the ball. But this time they are covered in black satin tablecloths with gold cutlery and gold chairs. The centrepieces are made up of red roses with some kind of green leaves for a pop of colour. At the far end of the room to the right is a large arch made of vines and red roses that looks like nature forged it itself. In the centre of the arch is a small table with

    Inhale. Exhale. Repeat. If I just keep doing that I should be fine. Is this how women feel before their Luna ceremonies? How do they not puke? I have been in fights, I’ve fought battles, I’ve fought for my life, but this is the first time I’ve felt petrified. Becoming the leader of a pack isn’t scary, I’ve been left in charge of Aurum Obscuro plenty of times when Jasper had to travel for business, but this is different. I don’t regret my decision; I will be the Luna of the Invictus Pack, I’m not backing out, but I can’t stop wondering what people will think of me. I’m about to be the first fucking male Luna. News will spread faster than an STD at a frat house. Will it lead to more attacks? What if I blow up at Amelia again because of all this? “For Goddess sake, stop spiralling, you’re making me dizzy,” says Ace. “Sorry, I’m just nervous,” I mumble. “Really? I thought you were writing poetry,” he says rolling his eyes. “A little support wouldn’t kill you every now and then.” “

    Luna ceremonies are a lot of fucking work but thank the Gods I haven’t had to lift a finger. I used to make jokes about how all Lunas did was plan parties and events, I never meant it, but it is a big part of running a pack, and props to those Lunas. Amelia, Evalyn, and Eric have been working hard on planning this Luna ceremony, the only thing I’ve been asked to do was pick flowers, colour scheme and whether I want it indoors or outdoors. I chose indoors; the pack colours – so green and black – and red roses. I did ask to be left to handle what I’ll be wearing since I want to surprise Amelia.
