Vampire's Call

Excited and anticipating the joy of seeing my boyfriend, I clutched the freshly purchased flower to my chest and made my way towards his house.

My visit was going to be a surprise, with the intention of making him love me even more, especially when he sees the flowers I brought for him. 

After spending the holiday season with my ailing grandmother who lived far away, I was now back, ready to surprise my boyfriend, Alpha Tyler, who is also my mate. 

In just two days, I would fully turn 18 and emit my mate's scent, which would confirm or bond. I was so in love with Tyler, who had proven to be a caring and romantic partner, even to the extent of sacrificing his female friends just to earn my trust. 

As soon as he hit 18, his captivating aroma wafted towards me, solidifying my belief in the divine plan of the Moon goddess to unite us. My feelings for him were so intense, and he reciprocated by passionately engaging in physical intimacy with me, which I had never experienced before. The encounter was blissful, and I have no regrets due to his impeccable conduct. The day after, I departed for my vacation, but I'm finally back now!

I am Lily, from the Blue Moon pack. My parents are esteemed members of the pack, and their reputation soared when it was discovered that I was closely affiliated with Tyler, the Alpha's heir. I'm thrilled to have been paired with Tyler, who is set to be the next Alpha. This signifies that I'll soon become the Luna.

During my month-long summer break at my grandmother's, I pined for Tyler. His tender touch, affectionate grins and kisses, and his overall demeanour towards me, especially when he tenderly took my virginity, all made me crave him deeply. He was so considerate and cautious not to cause me any pain. Everything about him is faultless, and I feel fortunate to call him mine. Tyler has been the only thing on my mind since then, and I must confess that I'm obsessed with him. As my first love, I can't seem to get him out of my head for even a second.

I'm already on my way to his place tonight, just a day after returning home. 

I'm excited to surprise him with an unexpected sleepover, and the mere thought of it makes my cheeks turn rosy with anticipation. 

As soon as he catches a whiff of my scent, I know he'll be under my spell and declare me as his beloved Luna at school. 

The idea sends my heart racing, and I can't wait to see the look on his face when I show up unannounced. 

With a lopsided grin, I lick my lips and adjust my glasses, feeling a rush of excitement course through my body. The thrill of surprising him has me practically buzzing with energy, and I quicken my pace as I make my way to his house on foot - it's not far, but every step feels like an adventure.

Eventually, I arrived at the solitary mansion where he resides, distanced from the Royal Pack's abode where his parents dwell. I halted my steps, swallowed hard, drew a deep breath, and scrutinized my reflection on my phone's display. I felt content with what I saw.

My tresses were a luscious midnight shade, cascading down my shoulder, mirroring my sleek brows and velvety lashes; my nose was elegantly pointed, accentuated by a set of rosy lips that exuded youthfulness, and when I flashed my teeth, they shone like pearls. I am undeniably captivating, a fact that explains Tyler's attraction to me.

The thought of it elicits a chuckle from me. Tyler himself is a sight to behold, with his aesthetically pleasing features and irresistible charm. He's undoubtedly the most striking man I've ever encountered.

"I'm beyond excited to meet him!" Katie, my wolf, chirped eagerly, bouncing against my being. She too was anxious to finally come face-to-face with our destined mate.

"How do I appear in this dress?" I asked my wolf, smoothing out the crimson long-sleeve top that hugged my curves, paired with a snug set of trousers and matching red sneakers.

"You are absolutely stunning and captivating!" She was thrilled with delight as I checked my reflection and grinned bashfully.

"Will I look foolish carrying these flowers?" I questioned once more, feeling a pang of nerves.

"No, he will appreciate the flowers' beauty," she reassured my apprehensive thoughts, soothing my nerves.

"Indeed, Tyler is our destined mate. Whatever I present him with, he will cherish," I chuckled and picked up the pace, eager to embrace him and bask in his alluring scent.

As I approached the entrance gate, I was on the verge of stepping through when a jarring cacophony of music assaulted my ears and I contorted my face into a scowl. The source of the commotion was a mystery, piquing both my curiosity and confusion.

Tyler had failed to mention any sort of indoor festivities during our phone conversations, making the situation all the more perplexing. Nevertheless, I had already arrived, and my inquisitive nature impelled me to investigate further.

With a nonchalant shrug, I entered the premises, my gaze darting around and taking in the sight of several cars parked in the garage. It was apparent that a massive celebration was ongoing.

Overcome with the urge to seek out Tyler and demand an explanation, my intentions were momentarily diverted by the sight of a banner bearing the words "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" joined across the front of the house. A myriad of thoughts raced through my mind, causing me to grimace and inhale deeply.

I knew it couldn't be Tyler's birthday because I already knew the day and month of his birth.

 "Perhaps his buddies begged to use his flat for the celebration," I pondered, feeling relieved.

Without hesitation, I swung open the front door and was stunned by what greeted me. 

Before my eyes was a scene that seemed unreal: a birthday party for Tyler. 

I repeatedly blinked and pinched myself to ensure I wasn't hallucinating.

In the centre of the living room stood a large, dazzling cake, surrounded by ornate decorations that gave the room a magnificent aura. To my surprise, I saw all of Tyler's friends, including those I didn't recognize, enjoying drinks and cigarettes while music pounded and echoed through the walls, creating a frenzy atmosphere.

The guys were busy with their amorous pursuits, while the girls were swaying and grooving to the music. I didn't bother to look at what they were doing. My sole focus was on finding Tyler, who couldn't possibly have a birthday bash without inviting me.

As I scanned the room, my heart sank at the thought of being left out. Tears threatened to spill from my eyes as I searched every nook and cranny. Just when I thought all hope was lost, I heard a familiar voice behind me. It was Jaxon, Tyler's closest friend and future Beta.

Relieved to see a familiar face, I immediately asked about Tyler's whereabouts. But Jaxon's expression soured as he sighed deeply and averted his gaze. His dark eyes seemed to lose their spark, and his face twisted with anxiety, worry, and pity - emotions that left me feeling confused and uneasy.

"Hey, Lily, you are back already... today?"  

"Where is Tyler?" I shot my question immediately, blinking out tears even when I tried to dry it. 

"Jaxon, what is happening? Is that correct? Is Tyler's birthday today? How did I not know?" I asked, with my voice a bit high. 

"A birthday celebration. Since he couldn't have his desired party on his birthday he decided to have it now, "Jaxon explained under his breath, moving the strands of his messy brown hair away from his face. 

"Does that explain why he didn't tell me? Was that the reason? Where is he?" I bawled with furrowed brows, peering at him. 

"Lily, you need to unwind, please. I'll go call Tyler out, just calm down and...... " 

"I don't get you. Tell me where my boyfriend and mate is!!" I half-yelled, interrupting his statement, and I could swear I saw the bewildered stare he directed at me as I mentioned Tyler as my mate. 

"Boyfriend... mate?" He appeared bewildered and muttered to himself while scratching his head. 

As the words left his lips, a snarky voice cut through the air, causing me to whip my head around and come face-to-face with a tough-looking guy. With an Afro hairdo, a plethora of tattoos, and a cigar wedged firmly between his lips, he oozed an aura of intimidation that made my blood run cold.

"Who's her mate, anyway?" he gagged, his tone dripping with mockery.

"Don, knock it off!" Jaxon interjected, his irritation obvious. 

Turning to me, he asked, "Lily, could we chat outside?" His request left me seething, given that Tyler was my mate, and yet here they were treating me as if I were a complete stranger.
