“Are you sure you don't have the needles and thread, I need to fix my dress?” Ava said walking away from me. She was beginning to act as though she had come into my room for that purpose.
I just kept mute and didn't want to reply to that disguising question then I remembered her last word before my Mom stepped into the room.
“Yea, I have one in my wardrobe” I replied
“Okay, then get it for me" she yelled. She has vowed to make me look ugly if I ever tell Mom what she did to me.
My Mom was just stunned and staring at Ava, she should be wondering why Ava is in my room at this time of the day.
I went to my wardrobe got the needle and thread and handed it over to Ava than she left my room, leaving me with my Mom alone.
I was beginning to quiver, I don't want my Mom to demand I tell her why Ava came into my room because if that happens, I wouldn't know how to lie over it especially if my Mom saw her touching before entering my room.
My Mom watched her leave and said no word to her. I guess she didn't want to stir a fight this morning with Ava or rather she is confused about her mission for coming into my room. Mom doesn't like trouble. I would be glad to have her as my Mom in my next life.
“Why did Ava come into your room, what did she say or do to you?” My Mom asked with a soft voice.
“Nothing, Mom”
“What did she do to you!” Mom yelled this time.
I got the jitters and didn't know if I should tell her the truth or not.
Did she see anything prior? I thought before I could reply.
“Mom, I mean it. She did nothing to me, she came to get the needle and thread”
“You need to be careful with Ava, by the way, I have got good news for you,” Mom said jerking her fit in a roulette dance style.
I giggled to hear what news Mom get for me. It had been like years since I heard Mom talk in such a way, I hope it is really good news indeed.
"Okay, calm down now Valerie," Mom tries to hold me still, as she explodes with joy.
"I mean… I just wanted to let you know about our knowledge about our Alpha's son's 18 birthday is coming up in about a hours and you know we should ready because we have a celebration and most especially you will be ready to go for the shifting ceremony" Mom beamed.
"Ooh, Mom!..Ooh, Mom! Ooh my God did you just say a celebration. I giggled. I had never had one in my entire life, I use to think you were just punishing me for a crime I didn't know when I committed" I left my joy run wide. Then I remembered I had got a VIP invited for the same birthday. I felt I had missed the date but I quickly checked my invitation card and found it was this evening. I thought I need to let Mom know I had to get ready for it. But the thought of Mom going with me made me had cold food. I thought I was going to behave an opportunity tonight to meet my charming prince mate.
“No, baby! Why would I Mom punish you for not celebrating a birthday? It has been the packhouse tradition for celebration to only happen at 18 years, so you will have soon but we have the prince own for tonight.” Mom replied rubbing my cheek before she gave me a deep hug.
“Yeah! Mom, I know my birthday is around the corner and I like the celebration but most I go for the shifting ceremony too?” Veda frowned folding her hands around her chest.
“Baby! Don't cause me sorrow by making such a statement. Why won't you go to the shifting ceremony!
It is compulsory for every girl who has come of age in the packhouse. I guess when you get there you will like what you will see and hear” Mom yelled at me.
“No Mom I don't think, I will like whatever I will hear at the shifting ceremony” I smirk walking away from my Mom to get my makeup from my box. I didn't want to have any choose my mate for me. I had found him already. I feel satisfied being around him even though that is his Father. I guess I will kill him when the time comes. I have to take my revenge over Uncle Jasper's killing.
“Come back here, Baby!” Mom yelled.
I delayed abit just to let Mom know I was unhappy with the idea.
“I know you are not deaf Valeria because I never gave birth to you deaf, come to the spot where you stood and never you walk out of me again” Mom groan
I don't seem to be so excited as I used to be those days when I hear it is my birthday coming, maybe I have come of age I guess, but I will still be grateful for life.
My Dad wouldn't even remember my birthday, talk more about celebrating but I know I have a sweet sugar pie, Mom. She is just the best anyone one could wish for, just that nags uncontrollably sometimes and I bleed to know my Mom nags but I can't reject her. She is my Mom and I love the way she is.
Mom left me in my room and went for her business. So I heard that when it is a shifting ceremony the Deltan's in the packhouse gets to run errands and tidy the place for the Alphas.
My Mom will be having to tend the Alphas house this evening in preparation for the shifting ceremony and I hope she doesn't think of me going with her because I am going for Prince William's birthday and not ready for any strenuous work. I just want to stand in front of my mate and enjoy his presence and soft touches.
Nevertheless, I know she will have a long day and I am going to miss her but I will just play with my bear and be cool.
But I have a big problem to deal with and it is Ava. She was the one who came into my room and I don't want to think of what she is trying to do with me. Well, I will let it slid.
“Valeria, I am off to the Alphas house” Mom yelled from the living room? Then I heard a bang on my door. It was Mom again. "Baby, I have been feeling some margarine and I thought I could manage it to attend tonight but I can't now. I will have to get some rest in my room. I will send Luna a text I couldn't make it. Go have some fun baby. Make sure you take care of yourself and be safe, try to keep away from bad guys when you get there. Okay."
It was approaching evening so I had to go take my dinner and a quick bath before leaving for the party.
\*\*\*\*\*Screaming swarms of pups ran through the house as bubbles floated in the air and balloons drifted around aimlessly on the floor among the discarded wrapping paper. Multi-colored banners were draped on the top of each doctor.A stack of unopened presents stood in the corner of the hall wrapped in smooth shiny wrapping paper. A silk bow had been carefully tied around each parcel. Hungry pups loomed over the table which was filled with food. It was a buffet. Some grabbed sandwiches and filled their mouths with sweets.
A huge cake covered in thick white icing and decorated with tiny pink roses sat in the middle of the table surrounded by brightly colored bowls that were filled with food. A jug of brightly colored juice had been knocked over and formed a puddle on the floor.
The compartment was decorated with streamers and balloons. A special birthday cake was ordered for him. Isaw. It was a chocolate cake, with juicy cherries on the top.
His grandparents came from Montreal to attend his birthday party. All his friends were also invited. I was very happy to see them. They all brought gifts for him. Luna kept them carefully in his room.
Everyone wore all wore nice party dresses. My charm was the hottest in his blazers suit, a red bow tie, and a white inner shirt.His friends blew on whistles when it was time to cut the cake.
After cutting the cake, we times was time to play many games and dance, dance, dance. There seem to be prizes for the winners, I knew would win if I get to be chosen to dance with anyone.A stack of unopened presents stood in the corner of the hall wrapped in smooth shiny wrapping paper.

Valerie's POVIt was still very cold in the morning, I was still lying in my bedroom and wrapped under my blanket. I seem to be feeling feverish but I have to shake it off. What happened at William's party the other day has not gotten off my mind. I wonder what came over me. I was supposed to have a great with my mate, the one who made my heart skip when I first set my eyes on him. But it all went the opposite, I was swerved to the corner by a total stranger. His scents were anything close to William's but it was fluffy.“Valerie!, Valerie!, Valerie! will you get off the mattress and get ready for the ceremony today or I will leave without you if you delay in but. I guess you wouldn't want to regret the day I gave birth to you, if I get to leave without you then that will happen definitely”Mom yelled at the top of her voice. I
I was shocked to know more about his identity. I had to try to keep off my over excitedness from showing forth. I had felt all the bit it is all confirmed now. The Alpha's Son is my friend but that didn't make me think less of how wicked his father is.“Maybe we should go inside now, I feel the party is about to start and we ought not to miss any scene” William suggested.“Yeah, I think we should go ahead now”We made our way into the packhouse. The pack members were all over the place, I could hear the voices. It sounded like an argument but they were chatting out of joy, merriment was on and the smiles on everyone's faces were scintillating. I feel they are having such a great day but my day is just about to begin tonight after I found someone I could call my buddy. I had seen him severally right from my balcony but I f
I was beginning to hear the roaring and growling all over the hall. The Elder had left their seats and we're changing into a white and yellow color robe. It is going to be a long night for us. I was thinking we still had a little time to take a deep breath before we get concentrated on the rituals but my thoughts were caught short with a deep groan from the Alpha.Then the Alpha gave a sign for us to lift our heads for his prayers, we lifted our heads once more. We weren't permitted to open our eyes but I disguised it and I saw the Alpa eyes turning deep yellow and a flaming red at intervals. This moment looks like the longest of my life but what can I do, it is just a few minutes to go.The hall's hourglass struck midnight and it all began. I think it's started with William because he was right beside me. He forcefully let go of my hands and I could hear his bones snap then the guy in f
I was so turned on by Damien's insightful way of thinking and I thought I made the right choice to get close to him. I had never perceived he could be this nice, friendly and apt.I would have wished for more from him but I can't at this time, I will just have to go suffer my penalty.“Okay, that wasn't intended to be a long speech, anyway I want you to know that you are still my friend and I am going nowhere. I love you no matter what or who you have become. I will always support you”“Okay noted, I guess I will have to learn how to deal with hate remarks from everyone from now on”Mom came in with the milk and coffee drink and Landon asked if he could stay still the night. Mom agreed to it immediately.Is Mom beginning to like Damien t
We continued the meal and no one said a word still. After breakfast, I cleared the table with Damian's help and he offered to help me clean up the dishes which I appreciated. Damian was begging to make me think a lot about the kind of person he is and if he is a potential mate for me even though I know I can't have a mate now. Maybe he just sees me as a friend and that is not bad for me.Damian stayed with me for a while, we talked about random stuff before saying goodbye and then he left. I saw him off to the door and I made my way back to the living room. I found a place to sit, then turning to my parents whose attention was on their favorite TV soap opera.Clearing my throat to get their attention before they averted their eyes from the TV screen to me. I took a deep steady breath as I tried to find the courage to speak. Dad and Mom just stared at me.
“Please don't feel shit for me, what makes you think I care” I mumbled. Like, I need to make this idiot know he means nothing to me. fellow, I don't feel shit for you, not after the recent bullying from him. Damien is causing me severe nightmares and Luna still feels we are good to be decent mates. Perhaps she is getting the feel with the help of her Luna powers from the goddess but I will never wake up to that filthy dream.What makes him think I care about his arrogant wolf. I know he is trying to make me turn my attention to him but, sorry I am not one of those girls who love asshole guys. Who will even love such a guy! Unless she is only influenced by material stuff and wealth but they will be stuck in sadness on the long with a run.The look on his face showed he wasn't expecting me to voice out my mind like t
“Come on Rob, I know you like having fun, don't you?” “Didn't you hear me well the other time Roland, sure I like to have fun but not with this little poor girl? You must be going nut if you persist”“Ohh really, you think I don't feel mentally okay, then stop me or watch me have her,” I said hoping Rob my wolf ends this argument with me.“No, Roland I am not going to let you touch her, bullying her is enough pain for her. You don't have to break her, eventually you will regret this”Did I just hear someone say I will regret hurting, Valerie? That bitch should be the one who will be regretting every shame she had brought on to our pack. I turned back to say to my wolf even though I knew he isn't at my back but inside me. I just wan
