NextI gagged, turning on my heels and sprinting out the door.Riggs caught up with me, holding my box, "we were here to get your box in the first place so I took it."I couldn't stop widening my eyes, "I'm fucking scarred for life!""I didn't know they'd be here, I'd have ugh, I'm sorry, we were dismissed from patrol and some other warriors took over, they said they'd leave later, I didn't know." He sounded so apologetic."It's not your fault," I shivered, "they hated each other so much, oh my goodness, I'm going to throw up." "I thought they did too," he agreed with me."Ugh, horrible way to start my birthday.""Let's just head back to the pack house." He sighed, "it's fine.""Ugh, please."We got back to the packhouse and found Alpha struggling to tie a balloon. It flew out of his hand in deflation when he saw us."What are you doing?" I raised one eyebrow."Um," he scratched the back of his neck, "it's your birthday so I thought we could-""Aw, you're so cute alpha, you're not th

We were greeted with confetti when we got back to the packhouse. I flinched and scooted closer to the alpha. He held my hand tight to ease my worry but he didn't seem startled by himself.“Happy birthday!” Riggs called, blowing a small party whistle.I let go of him and my worry transitioned into ease. I broke into a smile, looking around, he had set up the living room with a few ballons and a birthday cake was in the center of the room.You guys took forever but I’m glad to see that you’re back from your honeymoon,” he teased, “come on Talie.”“You are the fucking sweetest Riggs,” I chuckled, digging the knife into the cake and stuffing my mouth with it.“You were waiting for us?”“Yes, let’s just have fun tonight and stay up for as long as we can.” He chuckled. I looked back at alpha to see his expresion and hope ld he didn’t ruin things with a mood.He had a small smile on his face and I took that as a go ahead.“Let’s do this!”Riggs grinned and turned music on. “I’ll go get the

"Alpha?" I called looking around me. I sat up in bed and stretched wondering why his name of the first thing that came to my mind and soon as I woke up.Stretching cause the blankets to fall free from my chest region and I was fully naked. I widened my eyes as memories from last night flooded my head. I wondered if he had left the room because of me.I sighed in relief when I saw him coming out of the bathroom patting his hair dry his gaze fixed on me as soon as he saw me. He came to stand beside me and planted a kiss on my lips, "look who's finally decided to come awake."I looked around to see if I would find a wall clock or something "why? is it really that late?""Good morning sleepyhead," He came even closer, lowered himself to plant a kiss on my cheek before he turned to leave. I held his face to stop him and kiss his lips softly. He spread them apart and deepened our kiss.I closed my eyes and shook my head ,"yeah if you don't stop now, we're definitely going to be repeating wha

I was glued to the floor after Alpha made the announcement and pulled me into the car with him. "Great, my reputation has been ruined, you didn't even give me a chance to leave an impression on them.""I was still lingering around taking to the teachers, of course, I had to intervene, you belong to me and if anyone tried to do something to harm you, it's only sensible that I step in." I should be mad but heading him say the words made me blush."I don't think I can show my face in there ever again, this is so not how I planned my last year's in school to go," I told him."Of course you will, now they know not to mess with you," he shrugged, his eyes fixed on the road, "do you want me to take you home? No one's going to be at the pack house, border patrol has doubled in its intense care now." "No, just drop me off at the lake you took me to on my birthday," I sighed, looking out the window. If patrol was heavy like he said, the chances were that my mum was also away from home."Sure."

“Do you think alpha is still mad at me?” I asked beta once we were on the pack house living room. He had gotten the bandages from the first aid box and was now wrapping my injury, on one knee in front of me while I sat on the couch.“He has every right to be,” he nodded, without looking up at me.“Are you mad at me?” I asked in a low voice, my eyebrows pulled together in worry. He met my gaze with a sigh from his kneeling position, “you endangered the pack, we’ve not been open to such risks in years, this was too far,” he sighed, “but I know you didn’t do it on purpose, it’s fine.”There was a brief moment of silence, “you know, I prefer it if you are mad at me instead, I don’t like the calm and collected, my mum will kill me, alpha will kill me,” I buried my face in my hands, “fuck what was I thinking,” I moaned.Riggs stood upright and cleared his throat, “stay here, let me get the ice pack for your elbow.”“It’s fine, I’ll do it myself, you’ve already done enough,” I shook my head
