Bethany "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Bella...happy birthday to you!" "Hip hip!" "Hooray!" "Hip hip!" "Hooray!" I help her blow out her candles as Brooke holds her, she's beaming and excited but I doubt she has a clue as to what is actually going on bless her. Calvin takes her 3-tier princess cake into the kitchen as Ashley comes over to swipe her from my arms before heading for the bouncy castle. "Can you believe she's 1 already? It feels like it's been a lifetime since she was born, so much has happened this past year!" Brooke looks down with her loving smile as she rocks Levi in her arms. 2 new babies in under 2 weeks has been absolutely crazy, add in organizing Bella's 1st birthday and you'd be right in guessing no one has slept much, least of all Ashley and Jack bless them willow isn't a fan of sleeping but I've not once heard them complain. "I know it's unbelievable!" We take a seat at the table but I take Levi from Brooke before I sit down, I g
Beta Liam It's early morning but I'm up, showered, and dressed by 5.30 am. I've barely slept but I don't even feel tired, it's my girl's birthday today, she is 16, 16.. 2 more years and she'll be all mine and I can't fucking wait! I'm torn between happiness that she's finally another year older and sadness that I still have another 2 years to go, it's all I've thought about all night. I decide to head out for a walk before I can see her but as I arrive on the Gamma floor I can hear Willow's cries, loud and angry. The poor girl is teething and struggling with it bad, It seemed like the moment Ashley and Jack finally got her settled and she started sleeping almost all night her teeth kicked in, and now their back to square one. "Guys, which one of you is up?" I link them both. "We both are, is everything ok?" Jack quickly links back. "Yeah, I'm on your floor." Within seconds the door opens and poor Jack looks exhausted while Ashley is leaning on the counter half asleep making
Beta Liam He doesn't think I've been watching him tonight but I have, from the moment the girls arrived he started drooling at my girl like she was a juicy piece of meat, Cal noticed too and was quick to bring me out of my anger before I tore his throat out! He was drunk arriving at the party which isn't a great sign but he won't do anything to anyone because both me and Cal are staying sober and alert tonight and I've got my eyes firmly on him. I hate the feeling it gives me when I see him drooling over Bethany, I know she's my mate but she doesn't and there's always a small part of me that worries that she'll become interested in someone until she's is of age, it does happen. Wolves have boyfriends and girlfriends until they find their mates and I'm not ashamed to admit that the idea of that happening with my girl terrifies me, she's mine! My mate and just the thought of someone else touching her in any way makes me want to tear the place apart. I bring my burning anger in to
Bethany Whitney Houston's I will always love you is blaring out of the speakers and I know the dance floor is full but I don't see anyone else only him, the world seems to disappear around us as I stare at Liam's face, his eyes drawing me in as always. The gap between our bodies is painful, I just want to be as close to him as possible. He leads the dance and I stay lost in this bubble at this moment, it's just me and him, just me and... "Wake up Beth, wake up!" I'm pulled from my sleep but the hyper voices of two 2 year olds as they use my bed as a bouncy castle. How they are so happy this early in the morning I will never know! "Good morning monkeys!" Their cute excited faces soon have me laughing, no matter what time they wake me up I can never be mad at them even if it is 6.40 am on a Sunday. My bedroom door opens and in walks a flustered looking Calvin. "Sorry Beth, I left them alone for two minutes to grab Cami before she woke Brooke and Bella and these devils escaped!" "
Beta Liam 2 days have passed since the last attack and finally, it's starting to look like he's run out of Rogues. Of course, Alpha John won't let his guard down until the Beta has been caught and killed, he can't just let him off when there's a chance he will return again. My girl is 18 tomorrow and I'm so excited I feel like a 5-year-old waiting for Santa to come on Christmas eve. Just one more day without her at my side, fuck when I look back over the last 3 years I honestly don't know how the fuck I've done this, but one thing is for sure, I've got a shit load more control than I ever thought possible! I've sent my men back to the pack ready for the ball tomorrow, it's an annual ball to help wolves find their mates. Each year a different pack organizes the ball on a date announced by the elders and this year it just so happens to fall on our pack to organize it and on Beth's birthday. I want to make tomorrow as special as possible for my girl, including her finding out we are
Bethany "Wakey, wakey, birthday girl!" The bed starts shifting beneath me and before I've even opened my eyes I know the little monkeys are using it as a bouncy castle again! I open my eyes only to get pilled by them, their voices all high and excited. Brooke links me to go out to the living room and these three make good work of helping me out of bed. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Gets yelled at me the minute I reach the living room and I'm met by the beaming smiles of Cal, Brooke, Ashley, Jack, Katie, and little Cami. I instantly notice Liam isn't here, I know he's still at Alpha John's but it doesn't stop me from feeling disappointed. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't hoped he would come back for my birthday despite my mixed feelings I still need to know if he's my mate or not. Maybe that's why he's not here maybe my theory that he's my mate but doesn't want to be is true after all. Nonetheless, I plaster on a big smile and greet everyone with thanks. Before I know it, I am surrounded by car
Beta Liam "Beta! Beta Liam wake up!" The darkness starts fading out but everything is still blurry, I can hear faint voices in the background but I can't place who they belong to. "Beta Liam, can you hear me?" I start to regain my focus and blink my eyes to try and clear my sight. "Liam get your fucking ass up now, nap time is over!" I turn my head towards the window knowing exactly whose voice that was, only Ashley would talk to me like that when I'm in this situation. I flip him my middle finger and the prick laughs at me, he's going to pay for that later! "Beta Liam cover your eyes!" I look up to see Toby standing on the hood of the car, looking past him I can see ropes that have been tied to the front of the SUV, and back up on the road there are some of our warriors holding the ropes. I can't make out who they are in the darkness but I hope to fuck they hold on tight because my leg is still stuck and there's a long drop behind me. I close my eyes and seconds later I hear the
Bethany The gasp that leaves my mouth echos across the forest ground as I realize what he's been doing. "My little mate.... my little wolf, every time you called me your little wolf..." "I was calling you my little mate!" Liam finishes my sentence with the most beautiful smile on his face. "Wow, I... I can't believe this is happening, I know I wished for it but I never thought it would actually happen or that you would want me!" I'm lost in a sea of word vomit when I realize what I've said and so has Liam. "You wished for what?" His smirk tells me he knows but he's not going to let me off that easy. "I um... nothing!" I try to brush it off but I know it's not going to wash with him. "Nice try sweetheart, now spill!" His lip slips up into the sexiest grin I have ever seen on anyone's face and it sends flutters to my stomach. "Argh fine... I've had a massive crush on you since the moment I met you ok and I always wished we were mates but I never imagined I would actually be luck
