Alpha Luka And His Human Mate

"And many more! "

We cheered as Caleb blew out his '23' candles after our song. I found it so funny that his birthday party was like a ten year old's, but then I remembered that Celeb was a baby at heart.

Luka said that after this part, it would emerge into a more adult-like party. It all didn't matter to me though; it was all fun so far, and Caleb seemed more than happy.

Most of the pack members were out to celebrate their Beta's big day and it was heartwarming. Decorations hung from all possible places in the pack house's backyard, and our little surprise display was nicely tucked away where it should be.

Gifts sat on a huge table at the side, and everything seemed to come together so nicely.

Everyone seemed happy so far but little do they know the surprise they're in for. After Caleb and Ashley cut the cake, Ashley snuck off to her position for the surprise.

This was Emma's idea since she's the one who's lived here all her life.

On the Alpha, Beta and Gamma birthdays, they always got a bunch of 'happy birthday' balloons filled with helium, and they would float them away as a symbol for a long and happy life.

She said it started when they were just kids, but they never stopped even when they outgrew it. But this year had a little tweak to it.

"Where's Ashley? " Caleb frowned as he looked around for her.

"You'll see her soon enough. But for now.. " Luka trailed when he walked up with the balloons.

Caleb's face changed from excited to confused when Luka handed him a bunch of pink and blue balloons and one big gold one.

He turned them around so he could see the writing on them, which only seemed to confuse him even more. The pink ones had 'it's a girl', while the blue ones had 'it's a boy'. The big gold one in the middle had 'congratulations' written on it.

Everyone was quiet, as they too watched curiously and confused.

"What's this? Are these balloons for me? " Caleb asked, breaking a sweat. Deep down he sorta knew, but he just needed confirmation.

As if on cue, Ashley burst through the big birthday banner at the backdoor steps, holding the huge teddy bear I picked up in town.
