Niall's pov

"Niall wake up!" A voice I knew too well shouted from the door.

"I'm up mom! And you know it" I chuckled as I pulled up from the floor and used a towel to wipe my sweat.

I took a swing of my water as I pulled the door open to see the wonderful woman I called my mom beaming at me.

"Still doing morning workouts in your room son? There's a gym for a reason you know?" She had a teasing glint in her eye, since she already knew what my answer was.

"I only -"

"Yea yea I know" She cut me off, and I secretly rolled my eyes at her as she barged into my room.

"What are you even doing here this early?"

It was seven in the morning and I knew my mom wasn't a morning person. So for her to be here this early, I knew it was something.

She faked a hurt expression and threw her hand over her heart. "My own son doesn't want me in the Alpha house anymore? This has been my home for nineteen years you know?"

I chuckled lightly and placed a kiss on her cheek. "I know mom, and I'm glad you're here. I just don't believe you came all the way from your house to wake me up"

She didn't say anything for a while; she just smirked at me. I knew it couldn't have been anything horrible since she obviously wasn't upset, but the silence was giving me anxiety.

"Mom are you pregnant?"

Her eyes widened at my question before she burst out into laughter. I mean, it's not like it was impossible. She held onto my shoulders as she caught her breath, shaking her head rapidly.

"No no sweetheart. That's not it. Far from it actually"

"So what is it?" I asked impatiently, but still calm enough so she didn't assume I was being rude. Alpha or not, I still respected the people who raised me.

"Okay okay. There's this thing later"

"Mom...." I dragged in frustration. "Just say it."

"Roxy, why are you taunting the boy?"

My head snapped to the door at the sound of my dad's voice. Him being here too made me even more curious about what was happening. He had his signature smirk on his lips as he joined us, and I suddenly felt like 12 years old again getting the sex talk.

"I'm sorry Ace. But he's just so cute when he's impatient" She laughed.

"Even when I'm forty you'll think I'm cute" I mumbled, but I wasn't complaining. My mom always treated me like a prince, like I was the best possession that life ever gave to her.

"But-" I interrupted before she started another conversation. "Can someone please tell me what's happening? Is something wrong in the pack?"

I suddenly felt protective at the thought. But if something happened, I would've been the first to know.

"The pack is fine. But I got a call from Luka from Brightwater Pack"

My ears perked up at this, and I was suddenly very interested in whatever conversation he had with Alpha Luka. But it wasn't him who I was interested in.

"They're having a birthday party for a certain someone this evening. And you, my son, have a special invitation" He told me, and my mind could only think of only one person whose party I would've been invited to.
