148 - Family ADAN STONE.

The days went by so swiftly.

My days following the retrieval of the Silver Crest Pack from Ethan were spent assisting Blade as he slowly built his pack again, but after a week, I left him on his own and began preparing for Lucy’s 21st birthday.

She told me she didn’t want a big celebration on her birthday, and although I promised her I would not give her a big one, I wanted her first birthday with me to be memorable.

So I invited people who were important to her to celebrate with us.

Nothing big.

Just a private family dinner at the first restaurant where I took her.

I opened the double door without taking my eyes off her.I wanted to be the first one to see if it would make her happy or disappointed that I didn’t keep my promise.

But it’s not yet her birthday, so technically I wasn’t breaching any promises, right? Lucy’s eyes widened as her mouth opened the moment she saw the people waiting inside the big dining hall.

Mom and Dad with Aiden.

Our Beta couple, Collin and Laira, with Nathaniel.

Our Gamma couple, Kingston and Lena, with Carlston.

Patrea.

Althea.

Stella, took Adessa with her, as she mentioned Adessa was the one closest to Lucy at the orphanage.

And then Aeon and Alexa with their two pups.

I felt a surge of different emotions arise from Lucy, and I was 100 percent sure happiness was one of them.I took her hand, snapping her out of her shock.

She tilted her head in my direction before she mumbled, "I told you..."

"Are you mad?" I asked.

She shook her head before wrapping her arms around my body and hugging me tightly.

"Thank you! I didn’t know I needed this, but thank you! Everyone is here, and the place is so beautiful."

My hand smoothed over her hair as I threw a thumbs-up sign to my Beta and Gamma females who helped me out with the venue.

Lucy was right in her appreciation.

The dining hall looked majestic and cozy at the same time, with candles and dimmed lights all over the place.

Soon, Mom approached us with Aiden in her arms before everyone came to us and began greeting her, but my eyes were looking for someone.

Where the fuck was Lucius? Did something come up from the underworld that he needs to attend to today? Or did he lose track of time? I was hoping Lucy wouldn't notice until he showed up.

After all the flowers and gifts were handed to her, we all decided to go to dinner.

I pulled the chair over and let her sit down at the head of the table beside me.

The pups had their own table in the other corner with the omegas that were looking after them.

Aeon and Alexa sat at the other end of the table, facing Lucy and me.

My Betas and Gammas were on their sides.

Mom and Dad were on my right, with Momma and Pops beside them, while Stella and Adessa were on their front.

Adessa was sitting next to Althea.

Lucius was supposed to be on Lucy’s left, followed by Patrea.
