JASONFor the hundredth time, I fixed my gaze on the clock, listening to the sound it made as though each second drew me close to something vital. Despite how hard I tried to think less of the situation, I couldn’t deny the fact that it was something important. Kayla’s birthday was one we never marked or celebrated after her mother’s death and hearing Ethan mention it earlier today was a lot to handle. I flared up because I was enraged and confused about how we went from being her worst enemies to sweet individuals all because of the so-called “mate thing”.My brothers were already all over her, and that was enough to get me angry. I wasn’t willing to go down the same lane as them. But then, the more I thought about it, the more I saw reasons to actually do something for her birthday. Perhaps, it was the mate bond thing kicking in because I was disturbed with the idea of staying silent on her birthday.“Whatever!” I mumbled as I fell back to my bed to get some nap.***The sound of
KAYLAA party going on outside, an invitation and not only that, a dress on my bed? My heart raced as I stayed still, with my eyes focused on the beautiful flowery dress that was comfortably laying on my bed.“Who brought this here?” I asked myself again as I lifted the dress and smiled calmly.The last time I owned a brand-new dress was a week before my mother died. She had taken me to the mall, where we shopped for different clothes. That never happened after her death because no one cared about me…until now.“Who the hell did this?” I asked again as my excitement slowly faded and gave way to worry.A massive frown was plastered on my face and my body shivered in fear. I tried so hard to place my hands on whom it might be, since no one in the pack ever looked towards my direction.And then, it clicked! I had seen Ethan hanging around the hallway thatled to my room earlier. Furthermore, of the quad, he was the most friendly. At this, I resolved that he was the one responsible for
Ethan’s PovI stood beside Jake just as we stared at Kayla, who was being led into the party by Mason. I had sent Mason to bring her in since I had to take care of other things at the party ground.Jason was nowhere in sight, and that wasn’t astounding. He was the odd one from all of us, and even if I told him about it, I knew that he wouldn’t show up.“Happy birthday, Kayla!” Everyone screamed the minute her blindfold went out of her eyes. She was startled, and I could see this in how she quickly darted her eyes across to the pool arena. Just then, she caught sight of me and briskly walked over.“What the hell is going on? Is this my birthday party?” She asked, and I gestured for her to take a look at her picture banner that was majestically hanging on one side of the wall.“What?” She screamed and moved backwards.“We couldn’t celebrate you yesterday and so, we thought that it won’t be late today”, I went further to explain to her.“Happy birthday Kayla. I would go get some drinks
JASONI paced around my room as the blaring sound of the music infiltrated my peace. My heart was raging and at the same time, I felt disturbed.Again, I made to get some sleep, but the moment I thought of Kayla, I jerked to my feet and continued pacing around.Just then, the door opened and Ashley walked into the room, with a small frown on her face.“Aren’t you going to the party?” She asked and walked over to me.I looked away immediately and nodded negatively.“You boys decided to throw a party for yourselves, and you won’t even attend?” She asked unbelievably.I made to talk, but the words got stuck in my throat.How could I tell her that the party was organized for Kayla? “Let’s go to the party, please!” She begged as she went over to my wardrobe and picked out a pair of cloth.“It’s a pool party! And I would love to swim”, she added and again, my heart skipped.I had no idea of what was going on, but something told me that some sort of bad thing would happen.“I have a bad fee
KAYLAThe feeling was surreal. The birthday party was really for me, even if I found it hard to believe.“Happy birthday! It feels weird to come over for your birthday party, but it’s fine since we were invited by the quad”, a young girl said to me, with a bright smile on her face.It was hard to decipher if she was giving a compliment, or if she was trying to insult me.“Thank you”, I replied and smiled back at her.The day was coming out quite great, apart from the fact that I had an encounter with Bianca.Bianca is known to be very arrogant and disrespectful, but I was glad that I gave her a piece of my mind.More people came around to greet me and wish me a happy birthday, with some emphasizing on the fact that the dress I had on was stunning.“It’s time to cut your cake”, one of the party planners said to me with a smile as she led me to the table where the cakes were arranged on.There were three big cakes staring at me, with decorations and candles on top of it.“I hope you hav
Mason’s PovThis was honestly the best night I’ve had in a long time. Despite the fact that there were other females of the pack lurking around me, my attention was fixated on Kayla.Kayla looked entirely gorgeous and breath taking. It felt weird that I never actually appreciated her beauty right until I discovered that she was my mate.“I have something to say to her”, I said to the Mc who quickly announced it.I could see the shock in her eyes when she heard that a brother of hers had something to say.I was quite blank and unable to lay my hands on the force that pushed me to make such announcement, but I braced up and took in a deep breath.“You can do it!” My wolf said immediately I picked up the microphone and turned to look at Kayla.“Hi, birthday celebrant”, I started, causing the entire crowd to break into a round of laughter.I was quite humorous and I knew that. However, most times, that was just an escape from the tension and anxiety I currently felt.“I know that you may
ETHANFrom where I stood, I caught sight of the commotion that was currently happening. I was taken aback when I discovered that Kayla was in the middle of everything.“What is going on?” I asked as I pushed my way into the crowd, with Bianca sauntering behind me.She held me at that point and looked into my eyes.“Why are you suddenly worried about her? You should allow her deal with her problems just like she always does here at the pack”, Bianca said calmly and made to lead me away, but my mind was disturbed.My wolf growled again as I looked over at Kayla who was looking around, clearly lost and confused.“It seems like she is in trouble…I should go over to her and know what’s going on”, I said again as I pushed my way into the crowd.She kept mute at this point and followed me, with her hands folded to her chest and her eyes burning with rage.I decided to ask someone what the problem was since it was no noisy and rowdy. “She stole someone’s dress”, he explained, with a look of
JASONI bit my lower lips in agony just as I watched the event that was currently unfolding. This was totally my fault. If I had known that things would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have bothered getting the dress for her. But I wanted her to look good, even if I didn’t know why…I sighed deeply as I stood at the distance and watched a helpless looking Kayla, who obviously had no idea of what to do.She asked Ethan, Mason, and Jake and none of them attested to the fact that they knew about the dress.There was no way they were going to know because I didn’t inform any of them about my plans to get her a new dress.“I’m not a thief! I can swear that I didn’t steal this dress. It was laying on my bed”, Kayla screamed as tears poured out of her eyes.My heart shattered to tiny bits as I stared at her continuously, without an idea of what to do. There was no way I was going to help her out because she was someone I detested with all my might, and the last thing I wanted was to become c
