The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 147

CHAPTER 147

All the high-ranking couples, along with Amelia, Dr. Sands and Demi are all sitting on the back deck with Declan and I while we eat cake and ice cream. To my surprise, the kitchen staff made enough cupcakes to feed the whole pack if they wished to stop by and greet their Luna on her birthday. Even though we will be celebrating in a week, most of my pack did come to wish me a happy birthday and it warms my heart to know that they still believe in me even though I am the Dire wolf.

The group has just finished singing a horrendous rendition of the birthday song to me and are now urging me to blow out my twenty candles. For some reason, though, the candles keep relighting themselves, so I extend a claw and swipe it across all the candle tops, cutting them clean off, before smirking at my best friend. She thinks I don't know that it was her wise ass idea to add these annoying candles.

"Hey, what fun is that?" Cici stands with her hands on her hips, pouting.

"You should know better than try something like that to me. I'm too impatient for childish antics." I shrug.

She stomps her foot and crosses her arms in front of her chest as she huffs, "I'm not childish!"

Everybody looks at each other before bursting out with laughter at Cici's little show. Oh, how I love having her in my life, she's always making things interesting to say the least. What would I have done had I not had Cici to bring me out of my melancholy slump after losing my family and my pack?

(FLASHBACK)

I don't want to join the rest of the world. What's the point when I no longer have anybody! My family is gone, all my friends are gone...everyone...just gone! Why is this happening to me, Goddess? Why couldn't they have just killed me too, instead of leaving me all alone in the world? I know Alpha Declan is nice enough to offer me a home and the protection of his pack, but it isn't the same... it will never be the same!

These are my thoughts as I hide away in a new room that they say is mine. They have me in the Luna quarters, but should I really be here? I'm an orphan now...I should be in with the other pack. members and helping the omegas with the cleaning of the pack. house. I'd say I could help the kitchen staff, but I doubt anybody would want me cooking their food; I've never learned how to cook. I was always too busy with my friends and never wanted to learn. the menial job skills. Okay, I've been a spoiled little brat who was doted on by her Alpha father, I can at least admit to that.

A knock sounds at the door, but I ignore it. It isn't mealtime yet, so there is no reason to bother me. The knock sounds again, "Hello in there! I've come bearing gifts for a Miss Quinn Night."

Now that someone has actually talked to me, I can't be rude, "Thank you for the kind gesture, but I cannot accept." I call out and hope that it's the end of it, but that isn't to be.

Instead, a frustrated huff comes from the other side of the door, "It took me a long time to gather all of this together just for you, the least you can do is come and look at what I have!"

Now the-she-wolf is just getting annoying, so I roll my eyes and come out from under the covers where I have been burrowing for the last couple of days. I'm sure I'm a fright to look at but that's what she will get for disturbing my misery.

I swing the door open and there stands a short and petite pretty she-wolf with sandy-blonde hair and big brown eyes. In her arms. she carries a heaping load of clothes that looks like it may swallow. her up any moment. I can't help the giggle that escapes at the way the young girl looks, she may look worse than me!
