Birthday.

Charlotte POV.

So my father is fey, I found that out years ago, but I don't know who he is yet, every time I ask my mother about him, about more information, how much fey there is inside of me? What does it mean? She'll get sad, she'll get miserable and I'll feel bad for her and end up shutting up, worried about hurting my mother, she doesn't deserve that.

I decided to gather information on my own, to try and learn more about feys, about that side of my family and finally, one day she'll tell me who he is, maybe I'll get the chance to meet him and know why he left us, why he has hurt my mom so badly.

I learned about feys, they don't lie, but I do lie, I lied to Olli this morning, and to mom last night, and I'm sure that I have lied to Luna a million times before, she's still part of my family, I don't need a nanny anymore, but mom says she needs the job and she loves to spend time with me and I love spending time with her as well.

There are two kinds of them, the light and the dark, was my dad a dark fairie, is that why he left us behind, but if he was dark, then that would have reflected on my magic, it'll be darker, stronger and maybe evil. I think from what I have understood that the dark fey people are evil, well not evil, but they are winter people, living in the cold, in the dark, their magic is rougher, and they like to cause a lot more troubles than solving them.

The fey blood is one bond that you can never break, I belong to them, even if I'm half witch, the other half of me belongs to them, I could go over and demand to be part of their people or I can stay where I am and live my life as a witch.

I didn't care about how I was going to be living my life, what really wanted to know is who my father was, and why he left us? The both of us, I tried to ask Oliver about him, Olli is a big boy, he was never a child, and I knew he must of known mom's boyfriend, if she's so attached to him, Olli must have felt or seen something. Oliver keeps on saying I'm too young to know information, maybe one day when I'm older, but the days are passing and I'm not getting any new information from any of them.

"Happy birthday princess," Luna says, she has baked me a cake for my twenty-first birthday.

"Thank you Luna," I say with a smile on my face.

"You're welcome, why are you pouting?" she asks me next, "do you not like your cake?" she asks me with worry now.

"I love the cake," I assure her, but it wasn't what made me so sad.

"Then what's wrong?" she asks me.

"I'm old now Luna, and all I'm asking from Mom and Olli is to know who my father is, I need to know something, anything," I confess to her, if Olli knows, she knows too, I should've been asking Luna all along.

"Your father's absence has broken your mother's heart," Luna says sadly.

"Did he die? Get hit by a bus, why would he leave Mom? Did he simply not want me," I ask her, the last option wasn't one I had thought about before did he leave because of me, maybe he never wanted to be a father, and I ruined their relationship, tears started to gather in my eyes, I felt weak and stupid, I felt like a burden over my mother's life.

"Hey! Hey! Charlotte never says that again," Luna scolds me.

"Or what you're gonna smack my bum like you did when I was young?" I say with a chuckle, wiping my tears away.

"You're never too big for that, and you know it," she says making me laugh for real this time, she's right, you're never too old for a spanking, after my small laugh, I sighed and started to eat some of the cake, so this is the answer I've been looking for, he left because of me.

"What's going on in your mind child?" Luna asks me.

"Nothing," I answer her.

"Liar, you think he left because of you," she says reading my face and mind.

"Didn't he?" I say, knowing that he did.

"That man would've died from happiness if he knew he was going to be a father and to a girl non less, I don't know what happened, why he left and never came back, but it was before your mother knew she was pregnant with you," Luna says.

"You knew him?" I ask her, knowing the answer now.

"I did, but it's not my place to tell you about him, it's up to your mother," she says making me groan, mom isn't going to tell me shit, I'll have to find out on my own.

"She's never going to tell me about him, Luna," I groaned and she sighed, we both knew Mom was hurt and she's not going to show any weakness and just tell everyone she's hurt since that man left her.

"I'm sorry Charlotte, but it's your mother's choice," she says, it's my mother's choice to tell me, but it's up to me to investigate and try to find him on my own.

"Can you just tell me if he's from the dark kingdom or not?" I begged her, I just needed one thing about him, a lead about the man who was my sperm donor.

"You know your mother Charlotte, she loves power, but she doesn't mess with the winter kingdom," she says which means he's from the light kingdom, the kingdom of summer.

When I find him, the first thing I'll tell my father is the fact that I hate summer, it's hot and sticky, and I don't like it, it's just bad, all over, I want to find him just to tell him what he jerk he is and how much he has lost by leaving us. 

"Hey Birthday girl," Olli says joining us, trying to steal a piece of my cake.

"Hey! It's mine!" I yelled at him.

"Share, you're not eating a full cake," he groans.

"Why not? It's my birthday," I whined, wanting to eat the whole thing and drown down my misery.

"Your stomach would end up aching," Luna says making me laugh, right, because I'm such a baby, not a grown-up adult now.

"I want to get drunk Olli, wanna join?" I ask him, although I'm rude to him most days, and I live to tease him, but he's my only friend outside of Luna and mom, I know people from the coven, but no one is like Oliver.

"Drunk?" he says and I nod.

"Yup, drunk, wanna join?" I repeated to him, I wanted to try something new, other than just eat cake.

"I can get you into the wolf bar, we have the best kind of moonshine, it'll drop your ass drunk in no time," Luna says chiming in.

"I was thinking more of a martini," I confess.

"It won't work on your blood, you want to get drunk right?" Luna says and I nod.

"Then get ready, I'll take you this evening," she says with a smile.

"What would mom say? Or think," Olli says poking our ticket to getting drunk.

"It's her birthday, she needs to live," Luna assures Oliver.

"Right, when mom kicks our asses, it'll be all on you," Olli says but he wasn't out, so he's coming too, I'm celebrating my birthday by getting drunk with my brother and nanny.

I went to my room to get ready, I know the wolves like to dress slutty, they like short clothes and they don't care about dressing up, but I do, I care about how I look and I want to look pretty and hot for my big birthday. I didn't have anything that fit for a birthday, I loved shopping and mom never cared about money, she has too much of it and she'll just give it to me and tell me to go crazy shopping.

I owned a lot of clothes and I'm look through all of them trying to find a dress that fits the occasion, I went with a gold dress that made me glow, yellow was always my favourite colour, and it matches my long blond hair.

I went to Olli's room next and picked some clothes for him, I want him to look good next to me, he's connected to me, and he's my brother and he better looks good next to me while we both get drunk. I picked a blazer jacket and pants, it wasn't very fancy but it was good enough to go clubbing, I took an everything shower, I started to put my make up on very slowly, using some magic when my skills failed me, and finally I got dressed putting on some high heels with the spell to make them comfortable.

"I'm ready Oliver," I call to him, he came out looking like a hot guy, I'd never say it to his face, but he's a hot guy.

"You look beautiful." Olli says, he didn't mind saying it out loud and I loved hearing it.

"Duh," I say with a smile on my face, we're just waiting for Luna to either come pick us up or send us a location to where we're going, wolves love drinking and clubbing they have more than one spot, while if you want to gamble or go to a more calm club it'll be over the vampires area. The witches like us is where you go to have business, to ask for a spell or have a death wish, nothing in between with us, that's why whenever we want to party we need to get over to someone's else territory.

"Luna messaged, let's go," Olli says and walks toward his car, he works with mom, he makes his own money and so he decided to buy a car, while I didn't find the joy of working with mom yet, I prefered being a spoiled princess for now.

"My birthday, I pick the music," I say picking music and putting it on, blasting it in the car as we drove to the wolves.

"Drive faster," I groan when he kept on driving so slow.

"Faster?" he says with a groan.

"Yes, stop driving like a grandma," I gronaed.

"Fine, just because it's your birthday," he says and hit the accelator finally, we made it soon and we got out together, joining Luna who was waiting for us near the door.

"Ready to party?" she asks us, she was dressed in a coktail dress, short and revealing the same way all wolves like to dress up, she looked young, the same age as us, she's not that young, but we don't show our age for a very long time.

"Ready," I say with a big smile on my face, I was super ready to take over the club and dance till the morning comes.

We walked in the club and saw most of the wolves dressed the same way as Luna, dancing, and partying, we made a beeline toward the bar, where Luna did the ordering, she got me a cocktail, saying the boose alone is disgusting and she knows what kind of flavours I liked.

"Cheers to never getting old," Luna says clinking her glass against ours, I took a sip from it, and it tasted sweet with a big hint of alcohol, but one wasn't near enough to make me drunk, so we ordered more and hit the dance floo with the rest of the wolves, shaking my rounded butt around, dancing with Luna and Olli mainly, avoiding the grabby hands of the wolves.
