Bday Among Us Novels & Stories

"Thank you. Our meeting should not be long. When we are finished, I will return. By the way, you look lovely this evening. I am looking forward to your birthday, 2 weeks correct? Your mother is very excited." "Yes, Luna. My birthday is February 27th." "How wonderful! Did you know that is little Ashley's birthday as well?" Luna Maisie said as she passed Ashley to me. "Ashley! We are birthday buddies! That's so cool." "YAH!" Ashley cheered. Kyle now stood as close as he could and said, "Ashley, want to play?" "Yes please put me down. Kyle, we play." I placed Ashley down and she joined Rog with Kyle right next to her.

It is exactly her style. It is unusual for a birthday celebration to be held after the actual day, but I suppose once you turn eighteen, you can find your mate whenever fate decides. If it happens a day after your birthday, it is not exactly the end of the world. Fuck, I need to get her a gift. I glance at Aiden. “RSVP and make the arrangements.” He grins at me. “Already done.” I look over at Lincoln. “Will you and your unit be there?”

Becky offered. Everyone at the table glared at her. “Stay away from Maya until her birthday. Then we will talk.” “When is your birthday, Maya?” “OUR birthday is April 19.” “Our?” “Piper and I have the same birthday.” “I thought Piper’s birthday was ----” “Alpha Aiden and Luna Addie just arrived,” Beta Jonas interrupted us. I wondered how long he had been standing there; I did not see him come in. “Kade, why don’t you come with me to greet them. As a guest of our pack, I am sure that they would like to meet you.”

"How's the preparation for your B-day next weekend going?" Evelyn was shocked. "Your birthday is next weekend?" Livvie dropped her cutlery in shock, and raised her hands to her mouth, gasping dramatically. "How can you not know that?!" She exclaimed, wide-eyed. "Apart from the fact he's your boyfriend, Jason Lyn— I mean, Dad— is the número uno artist in entire America! His birthday isn't just a birthday celebration. It is the veneration of a star. The adoration of an idol. And YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT?! For Christ's sake, his birthday is a legendary event."

I sat down planning to rest a bit before heading out, then the door swung open. “Happy fucking birthday asshole”, it was Ben, my best friend strolling in casually like he owned the place, that familiar grim plastered across his lips. “Who the fuck let you in?” Asked dryly “Please”, this place is just like my second home I leaned into my chair, “ what do you want Ben?, because I'm heading out right now for a meeting” “I'm here to save you from dying of boredom on your birthday but that can wait, run along for you little meeting I will wait right here for you”

AYA handed me the knife. NALANIE playfully elbowed her. “Get in line, bitch.” “Feeling better?” I arched my brow at AYA. She gave me a toothy grin. “Much.” I chuckled, sliced out a chunk of cake, and set it on a small plate. “How did you guys know today’s my birthday?” “Well,” AYA said, “the lords knew and were going to keep you all to themselves, but then ASH slipped out with it. Words spread like wildfire and ta-da, birthday celebration. Life’s too fucking short. I say celebrate every chance you get.”

I shook my head and followed her out. “Today is your birthday,” Uncle Dawson said the moment I reached the garage. He was standing with Beta Beckett. “So?” I tilted my head. “Where are you going? The guests will start arriving soon.” “I didn’t invite anyone, so why would my presence matter to them? They’re your guests. Take care of them,” I said, opening my car door. “Today is the end of the ultimatum, Alpha,” Beta Beckett added, drawing a glare from me. “If you don’t sense your mate, you’ll have no choice but to choose a random Luna.”

“What’s wrong with that?” “Idiot!” I heard the sound of skin making contact with skin, and I involuntarily flinched. That sounded like it hurt. “Oww,” Cy exclaimed. “It’s Hera’s birthday on the 19th! We won't be able to celebrate her birthday if we attend the party.” Oh. That’s right. I’m already turning 18 come this 19th of March. I mean, they could go to the party for all I care. I don’t enjoy celebrating my birthday anyways. I just feel like it’s an ordinary day.

Spirit reassured me. I gritted my teeth and took out my phone when I heard a text coming in. “Hi Vanessa, this is Joan the owner of the town’s bar. Today is Duke his birthday and we are throwing him a surprise party. Would be great if you could come. Starts at 18.00 hope to see you there.” I felt surprised Duke did not mention it was his birthday. I would have congratulated him this morning if I knew. Maybe he was one of those people that hates birthdays?

I nodded, not trusting my voice this time. “Well, I can see you’re busy, and on your way somewhere, so I won’t keep you, but you be sure to come back anytime you’re looking for some company. The boys here and I’d be happy to oblige a time or two, I’m sure. My birthday’s Feb ninth.” “Noted,” I replied, not sure what else to say. “You can’t afford her,” someone yelled, sounding like it might have been Logan, but when I looked in the direction of the voice I couldn’t see him or who it might have been. Half the pub laughed as Joey walked back to the bar and his three mates.
