Layla's Birthday
Last Updated:
2024-05-14 22:29:44Friday came around much faster than anticipated. It's Layla’s birthday. I wished her a happy birthday this morning before school. She was so happy to finally be able to meet her mate, whenever that would be, but she would know it was him.
After school we decided to go shopping. She had to look exceptional. Although her words were “I have to look good enough to eat”,
I kind of can’t wait till next week for my birthday. Maybe I will meet my mate on my birthday. On second thought, I kind of can wait. I’m nervous as the days go on.
What if he doesn’t accept me? What if he turns out to be from another pack? I would have to leave my family and friends behind.
“Scarlet, what is Physical Change?” My chemistry teacher asked with her glasses hanging low on her nose and her glare judging my actions.
“It is a change from one state to another without a change in chemical composition”, I stated with a bored look scattering my face. “Give me an example, Scarlett” She asked me with her body tensing up.
“Well something turning from solid to liquid like Ice when it melts”. She then stood back with defeat that flashed in her in her eyes. “Pay attention to my class Scarlett. I don’t teach to the wall”, she said with sarcasm before going back to her lesson.
After a few minutes passed, the school bell rung and the last class for today was over. I met Layla outside with a smile that plastered her face. “Come on slow poke”, She said, jumping into her car.
“Nice ride”, I said questioningly to her. “Oh my dad got it for me as a birthday gift” she flashed me a smile and moved her eyes back to the road.
We arrived at the mall and went on a mission to find the best outfit for Layla. After hours of going in and out of almost every shop there was, we found her outfit. It was a corset top with a see-through bodice in jet black.
Also, a jet black blazer that was fitted and lace-up boots with heels. To make it seem a bit more casual, we pared it with a pair of washed out black boyfriend jeans. To make it seem like she isn’t trying too hard.
The outfit fitted her perfectly with her petite frame and chestnut brown hair done in a bun. “ Now your turn”, she said .
“Well it's not my birthday until another week and I'm also not going to be greeting the Alphas as I will be studying tomorrow for the test on Monday” I stated and shrugged. “ Ag what a buzzkill. It's not like you need to study since you are already smart enough”, she said, glaring at me in the hopes I would change my mind.
And well I did. “I'll go but I’m not getting all dolled up.” She glared at me again like my words were a betrayal to her ears. “Fine.” She said in defeat.
Saturday after noon:
Me and Layla started getting ready. I just did my hair in a messy bun and wore mom's jeans and a white tank with doc martins.
Layla got all dolled up and we made our way towards the outside of the pack house and it was crowded with shewolves all desperate to be near the alphas. All desperate to be mated to them.
The cars started coming in and parking by the back house. Some are big fancy jeeps while others are slick black cars. All contain special cargo. The Alphas. But there were supposed to be 25 alphas all together and I had only counted 24.
As Silvermoon’s representative arrived and climbed out of the slick grey car, I could tell it wasn’t the alpha due to his aura, but instead he was a beta.
I wonder why the alpha didn’t show up. Maybe these matters didn’t concern him. Not that I know what matters they were discussing, but I knew it would be important enough to have all the neighboring packs involved.
This beta had the silver moon pack symbol. He had light brown hair and brown eyes. He was muscular. Then he turned around and looked in our direction. Suddenly, he had his wolf looking through his eyes glowing and his canines out sniffing the air. He gave out a loud growl.
“Mate” My heart stopped.

“Mate?” I heard her questioning next to me. My eyes turned into the size of saucers. The Beta ran through the crowd and grabbed her and held her in bridal style. She had a big smile on her face even though all the She wolves were giving her a death glare. He picked her up and took her inside.Before I knew i she was out of my vision, leaving me there alone and shocked. Guess dreams do come true. I took out my phone to look at the time. It was 3pm and I had to go home.All the females sat down on the floor waiting for the meeting to be done. So that maybe they could also be as lucky as Layla was. I was happy for her but I couldn’t help but feel sad too. This meant she would be leaving with him.Leaving her new pack, as the females always went to their mates pack especially with someone like him who is a beta and can’t leave his duties behind. She was my only friend. School would be so lonely without her. I feel selfish for feeling like this. I mean what if it was me instead, she would

It had been a few days since Layla had left and well life has been dull to say the least. School has been more hell with Asher and Saige being joined at the hip and barely ever leaving each other’s sides. Saige,, had been in each class with Asher and, although she is 2 years older than the rest of us, I wouldn’t be surprised if she were to stay back another year. She was the pretty sister whilst I was the smart one. But sometimes pretty gets you further in life, especially in the wolf world.Tomorrow will be my birthday. The big 18. I decided to skip school for the rest of today because I would be sick if I had to see Saige and Asher cozy up to each other for another minute. So I went on a run in the woods. Everyone gets their wolves at the age of sixteen, but to smell your mate was a power only granted at eighteen.As the day progresses, I become more and more nervous at the fact that I might meet my mate tomorrow. It was a big day. One every wolf couldn’t wait for. The mate bond wa

I woke up to the mumble of a song and a bright light entering the room. As my eyes open, the sound becomes clear. “Happy birthday dear Scarlet.. Happy birthday to you.” My mother and father both sang. They both had blond hair that looked like gold in the sunlight with blue eyes and happy smiles on their faces. My dad was holding a cake saying, “Happy 18th Scarlet”.I loved my parents dearly. They have been the best and always by my side through all my struggles. They’ve also inspired me to work hard at school as they both have degrees in very difficult fields. My mother was a scientist whilst my father was a surgeon. They didn’t make much use of their degrees as they were Beta rank. But they were always happy to have it behind their names.I blew out the candles with one breath. “Thanks mom and dad. But don’t you think I’m too old for candles?” I asked with a questioning look plastered on my face.“But then you’re too old for cake. Should I then take the cake to me and dad's room” m

Asher:Today was my birthday. My parents always made a big deal out of it,and a cake sang to me and asked me what I wanted for breakfast. I always thought it was overkill. I never really enjoyed my birthday because it was the countdown till my day of death. Whenever that day might come.This year, on the other hand, was a bit different. There was just one thing on my mind. Soon I will be meeting my mate. It’s always been easier for alphas to find their mates as we move to different packs fairly often for meetings. So I have no doubt I will find her soon. I can’t wait for the power she will give me. I was thinking about who she could be and what I would do to her. My parents always said finding your mate was a big deal. There is no bigger love than that you feel towards your mate. I never really cared for that part, I just cared for the power it would bring me.As I arrived at school, I was making my way to the library to wait for Red. The smell of maple and cinnamon hit my nose as I

My Paws collided with the earth as hard as possible. The trees went past me in a blur and I was going as fast as my wolf could go. When I came to, I realized what had happened. I wasn’t sad, though I was angry. Furious. There’s no doubt in my mind that Asher didn’t smell me coming and yet he still got all cozy with my sister. The flashes of what happened came back to me. The sight I saw was Saige barely clothed and her chest was just covered by her navy blue bra. She was right next to Asher on her knees with her chest pushed against his shoulder.He was sitting there in shock as he just stared at me, not saying a word. Not so much as an apology. Or even an apologetic look in his eyes. Instead, they were filled with a hunger I had never seen in his eyes before. If I hadn't been so angry and the situation was so much different. I would probably be just as lustful as him. Instead, here I am trying to run off the face of the earth with the hopes of never seeing them again. Anger and h

Asher:I was sitting on my bed staring at the ceiling, wondering what I was going to do to fix this problem. Even though I never saw Red as someone to be intimate with, the thought of her has made me lustful after today. I keep remembering how she looked today.How she should have looked with that green dress pulled up to her waist. She was roaming my thoughts relentlessly. Suddenly, a knock came from my door. I flew up with the hopes that it was Red. But with her scent not filling this room, I knew it wasn’t her.I opened the door to see Saige with a bag slinging over her shoulder. “Ashy baby can I stay with you tonight?” She batted her eyelashes and pouted her mouth. “Saige, I can’t be around you anymore.”“Oh come on Ashy we both know u still like me.” She leaned against the door perking her chest up. “Saige find somewhere else” I said through gritted teeth.Her whole mood changed and she gazed at me with fury evident in her eyes. She turned around and walked away without another

Scarlett:I was standing on my balcony just looking into the woods, wondering what I had done to deserve this. What happened was just as good as a rejection, just one without any words. I don’t know what to do next and I just feel so lost in both my thoughts and path. What’s next? My mom barged into my room again and I turned around to look at her with a sigh. “Well, look a little bit more alive Asher is coming here at seven to apologize”. My mom said, with a soft smile on her face and her phone still on a call. The words shocked me and I was gulping air with my mouth trying to say something, but only ended up looking like a fish out of water. “Well… can he come…yes or no” my mom looked at me with questioning gaze going back and forth to the phone and me. “Yes” I blurted out without even thinking about what I really wanted. I did know that I wanted to be near him but that was probably the mate bond speaking. The mate bond is such a powerful force that very few decide to go against

Those icy blue eyes just stare into my soul, inviting me to intertwine with his. I shook my head at the thought “So do you forgive me?”, were the words that brought me back to reality I’m still supposed to be angry with him, but this mate bond is making it hard for me to think straight.“On one condition,” I suddenly said, surprising myself with the words that came out of my mouth. “Sure, what’s the condition?” he said, smirking at his victory of winning over my forgiveness making me want to make this so much harder on him. “Well for starters you stay far away from my sister. Whatever the two of you had is over with. I don’t share”. He smirked at my words, making me all the more irritated. The moment he wanted to open his mouth and say something I interrupted him. “Also, you have to go down on your knees and say you’re sorry. I mean how else would I know for a fact it is a sincere apology?” I smirked as those words left my mouth and his vanished with no trace on his face.Then s

− I sat in my room staring at the crib where Xander laid fast asleep. I kept listening to his soft breathing just to make sure he is ok. I heard a sparkling sound and soon the moon goddess appeared next to his crib. Her face was filled with love and care.She put her hand on his cheek and a smile spread across his face.

Days have passed after Riley’s initiation. She has thanked me more times than what was needed.I still felt a bit awkward as my memories drew back to the time when I wandered her mind. That door of intimacy that I could feel Lucian was a part of.I knew it was something of the past and wouldn’t blame him for what had happened but what would bother me was if he lied about it. He told me nothing ever happened between the two of them.I sat at in the pack cafeteria scanning over the large crowd of my pack members all sitting and chatting as they shove food down to their hungry stomachs.Others cheered as they knocked their beer cans onto one another in celebration.Then I spotted Riley sitting among a bunch of she wolfs al who were in awe of little dawn.Her beauty was definitely something to catch the eyes of all around even at such a young age.I then slowly moved my eyes over to my mate whom was sitting next to me drinking a glass of orange juice.When his eyes met mine he placed his

“What was that all about” I heard that husky handsome voice ask beside my ear, making my legs wobble as his breath touched my neck.“Whatever do you mean Alpha” I said turning to face him keeping eye contact, showing no fear.I could see the lust swimming angrily within his eyes. He straightened out his posture and places his hands behind his back. “Out” he demanded with his alpha aura spreading across the room.Layla and Damian disappeared so quickly out of our sights and in a blink of an eye I heard the elevator doors open and close.A smile grin crept up onto Lucian’s lips. Plaguing them with all the dirty thoughts wondering within his mind as well as mine.He took a step closer to me and at this point I was looking up at him my chin almost touching his chest and my breath heavy just thinking about what may follow.The small distance between us was killing me. It was just enough for us to barely touch but not enough to ease the warmth that lingered between my legs.The warmth that

It’s been days since I’ve gotten out of my own prison. It’s been both heartbreaking and warming at the same time.My mother hasn’t reached out to me yet and although my father has been coming around every day to check up on both me and his grandsons wellbeing my mother hasn’t come at all.My father kept saying that it’s not because she doesn’t love me or care for me but she is mourning.I knew he was right and honestly I loved her and understood where she was coming from. Losing your child at the hands of your other child is hard to wrap your mind around.My pack however congratulated me on defeating our enemy all by myself.I gained a lot of respect from all of the high ranking warriors of our pack including our gamma which in return made me proud of myself too.Although most of it was my wolf without her we would’ve probably still been stuck within a big mess.I blew over my steaming hot coffee looking out over the Los angles view from our living room.I sat snug in my mates lap lea

I didn’t see her at all so I just automatically assumed it was in my all in my head.I prepared myself for the next scene of her shouting and screaming at me for killing her only daughter and hating me for it. “Scarlet” I heard her voice once more call out to me. It was soft and gentle. A caring tone filled with worry.“Come back to me, my dear.”I looked down at the water before me and saw her worried face reflecting from it. Her eyes were sad and the bags under them seemed like the same endless darkness that plagued my heart. “It wasn’t your fault dear” Her voice cracked at the word fault. I could only think that she was recalling the moment she saw Saige dead in the woods. “Scarlet darling”My father stepped closer, placing his arm around my mother’s waist pulling her into his chest whilst she wept.A tear streamed down my cheek filled w

Lucian:I stood in front of the door thinking everything over in my head wondering what to do in this situation.Maybe I should get help what if they refuse to help Scarlet. Have they already decided to abandon her?Maybe it’s too early… they are still mourning the death of one daughter I can’t just throw this news at them and expect them to take the news well or be efficient at bringing her back.Although in my opinion its way overdue she’s been away from me for far too long. Suddenly I felt a pat on my back and shot my head to see whomever it came from.An arrogant smile stared back at me his eyes icy blue eyes somehow felt warmer and then I realized his canines were back.The two empty spaces that were so prominent and a soothing sight to me had been filled up.A shiver went down my spine.

I watched as my daughter single-handedly disarmed and dismembered the guards that were sent to attack her.Aiden became more furious as the number of guards went down. He started pushing guards out of his way.When he came face to face with Scarlet whose chest was moving up and down from her heavy breathing.They stared at one another and the hatred for each other rolled off their aura in waves. The tension was high.“I guess I’ve got to deal with the trash on my own” Aiden said and scarlet growled into his face with her canines inches from his nose.Aiden’s eyes grew green as he summoned vines from the ground tying off Scarlets feet.She tried to claw her way out but it was all in vain. I took a step forward and suddenly felt an hand grip my wrist.I tried to loosen myself from the iron grip but when I realized it wasn’t going to happen I turned to see Astraeus shaking his head.“This has to happen Selene you cannot intervene”“Astraeus she’s alone and within her late stages of pregn
Howling Hearts Prison of my own mind
Scarlet:I laid in the middle of a pool filled with dark liquid. I sat in the on a stone and looked over the dark waters trying to see something or anything a place to swim to.But instead I just saw the never ending dark liquid vanishing into more darkness. I sat on this rock looking at the name engraved on to it with quilt swallowing me up whole.“Saige”. It read in cursive. I kept remembering the heart wrenching howl of my mother when she realized Saige was dead.As well as the agony that fell among her face.I hated myself for doing that to her. Removing her first and only born daughter. I thought about myself and how I would’ve felt.I would’ve hated the person that took my son from me. And I could only assume that she felt the same.And honestly I don’t blame her. I felt guilt for placing her in that position not for killing Saige and not for protecting my unborn child.I was still sad about her death and I did love her even though I didn’t want to. My emotions where conflicting
