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
Bethany After we managed to pause the kissing, we enjoyed the picnic that Liam had arranged and it was beautiful but I'm getting distracted by all the questions that are swarming my head, that and wanting to climb back into Liam's lap and kiss the shit out of him. Once we've finished, we decide to head back to the packhouse so we can talk with the others. Liam links our fingers as we walk back and I feel shy and nervous about seeing everyone but I'm also incredibly proud to have Liam as my mate and I want everyone to see. He doesn't seem to care who sees us as he tightens his hold on my hand rather than letting it go as we step inside. We head for the stairs to go to my floor when we cross paths with Jake, he gives me a friendly smile but I don't miss Liam tensing up next to me nor do I miss the low growl he lets out. "Wait... is that why you didn't like Jake?" "He's wanted you from the very first time he saw you, he still does now!" He growls out. Instead of saying anything I p
Bethany This ball is incredible and already there have been so many mates found, this is my first time attending the blue moon ball and it's amazing to watch wolves find their mates but I don't envy them one bit. The story of how I met my mate is one you rarely hear and I wouldn't change a thing. It's amazing to think that Brooke and Cal met at this ball, and now look at them! "You ok beautiful?" Hands slide around my waist as I'm dragged from my thoughts, my mates breath fanning my ear sends a shiver down my spine that I know he felt. "Yeah, I was just thinking!" "About what?" "About how incredible it is to watch all these wolves find their mates. To think that they come to the ball alone and now they'll leave with their mates, it's pretty incredible!" "Do you wish that it had happened like that for you?" I turn my head to look into his eyes and the hint of insecurity is clear to see. "No!" There's no hesitation in my answer because it's the truth! "I was also thinking about
Bethany The moment I close the door I miss him, Fuck the pull of the mating bond is crazy add in the fact that I've wanted Liam for 3 years and you've got one intense feeling! I head for my bedroom and quickly strip off before warming the shower up. I pin my hair up because I'm too tired to deal with drying it right now and make quick work of showering before putting on some plain black cotton shorts and a matching thin strap top and nose-dive my bed. Within 10 minutes I know I won't be getting any sleep tonight, I'm exhausted but I can't get Liam out of my head, still can't believe he's my mate and he didn't reject me. In fact, he seems to want me just as much as I want him. I don't know how I got so lucky but I will spend every day of my life thanking the moon goddess. I've always loved stretching out in my queen-size bed but right now I feel lost laying here, for the first time ever it feels like the bed is too big. I want my mate, I don't want to sleep on my own. He said
Bethany We're almost at the beach house and I can't wait to get there but I must admit this whole ride has been so much fun. Liam has held my hand the whole way while we have talked, laughed, and sang our hearts out, he has an incredible voice, I honestly could listen to him all day. We pull off the main road and onto a narrow one, after a few minutes the trees surrounding us start to clear out and we drive along a long road just before a beautiful beach house appears before us and the beach closely follows. Liam pulls up alongside the house, parks the car, and quickly comes around to my side and opens my door for me. He takes my hand and we walk around to the front of the house. The house is a white stone with huge windows and French doors that lead onto the beach, we step inside and a gasp leaves my mouth at the beauty, it's a small house, so cozy and cute. There's a cream sofa in front of a large fireplace with a tv up on the wall above the fire, and there's a large cream r
Bethany Once we've finished our food and cleaned up Liam gets the fire going and I fetch a bottle of wine and glasses from the kitchen. Yes, I'm underage and shouldn't drink but neither Brooke nor Cal mind as long as I'm safe and I couldn't be any safer right now. Liam sits down on the floor with his back against the couch then pulls me down so I'm sitting in between his legs, my back to his chest and he brings his hands around my waist draping me in his heat. The logs in the fire are crackling and the flames are roaring to life and it's incredible, it may still be warm but this log fireplace is too good not to use while we are here. After a few moments of silence, Liam moves my hair to one side before placing gentle kisses on my neck, making his way around to my ear and gently biting down on it. I feel his fingertips on my skin as he slides my jumper down my shoulder and places gentle kisses on my bare skin causing my stomach to flip. He turns my head to the side and we're
