The Wolf In Me

Christmas Lunch

#christmasspecialevent

Luka's POV

My mind was set to prepare for the morning meeting with the pack, running around my bedroom to get my grey shirt on and my black jeans, stretching my arms for my family heirloom golden necklace which I wear every day. 

"Darling, I think you need to chill. Everyone knows you are always late in the morning. They can wait for an extra five," Mei suggested, smiling at me with my one-month-old son Mason being fed in her arms. 

"Today I will inform the chefs to start preparing for our holiday Christmas special lunch. I have a small surprise for the pack, and you of course!" I grinned at her lifting her chin with my index finger to kiss her lips.

"Can't wait, my love!" She smiled back accepting my kiss on her plumpy red lips.

To me, Christmas was my all-time favourite holiday where everyone I love is around me, my favourite food and beverages available and of course all the colourful and wonderful moments that it brings.

Back when I lived temporarily as a human, my stepmother and I used to go to my step aunt's house where everyone had to abide by the traditions whether we like it or not. Hannah, my favourite cousin used to always make sure to prepare a prank on her mother. I have always sworn that she would have had prepared for it from months before as it would always be a good one full of all my aunt's horrible nightmares. 

This year it will be a different Christmas for me since both of my parents have departed, but it is my son's first Christmas and I am making sure that it will be a memorable one for everyone. No one knows what I have prepared in store for the pack, except for those that are participating in my plan.

Days later.

I rushed downstairs, closing the last button on my wrist and headed to the kitchen to make sure that everyone there was working according to plan. 

"Is it all done Steph?" I asked, stealing away some food from the kitchen top.
