The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 147

All the high-ranking couples, along with Amelia, Dr. Sands and Demi are all sitting on the back deck with Declan and I while we eat cake and ice cream. To my surprise, the kitchen staff made enough cupcakes to feed the whole pack if they wished to stop by and greet their Luna on her birthday. Even though we will be celebrating in a week, most of my pack did come to wish me a happy birthday and it warms my heart to know that they still believe in me even though I am the Dire wolf.

The group has just finished singing a h*rrendous rendition of the birthday song to me and are now urging me to blow out my twenty candles. For some reason, though, the candles keep relighting themselves, so I extend a claw and swipe it across all the candle tops, cutting them clean off, before smirking at my best friend. She thinks I don’t know that it was her wise a*s idea to add these annoying candles.

“Hey, what fun is that?” Cici stands with her hands on her hips, pouting.

“You should know better than try something like that to me. I’m too impatient for childish antics.” I shrug.

She stomps her foot and crosses her arms in front of her chest as she huffs, “I’m not childish!”

Everybody looks at each other before bursting out with laughter at Cici’s little show. Oh, how I love having her in my life, she’s always making things interesting to say the least. What would I have done had I not had Cici to bring me out of my melancholy slump after losing my family and my pack?

(FLASHBACK)

I don’t want to join the rest of the world. What’s the point when I no longer have anybody! My family is gone, all my friends are gone…everyone…just gone! Why is this happening to me, Goddess? Why couldn’t they have just killed me too, instead of leaving me all alone in the world? I know Alpha Declan is nice enough to offer me a home and the protection of his pack, but it isn’t the same… it will never be the same!
