You Kissed My Soul novel Chapter 44

Aderyn Pov

I looked here and there surprised as well as shocked. Everyone was cheering and shouting wishing me. My eyes fell on Dylan who stood there before me with a smile on his face.

“How?” my voice croaked out.

He shrugged not answering me and came towards me wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

“I never told anyone about my Birthday. Then how?” I asked again

“I have come to know everything about you” he said and I was going to ask how but was interrupted when Jenny came and handed me a gift box and then hugged me wishing “Happy Birthday Luna”.

“Uh Th-Thank You” I told her while another gift box was handed to me by Bell.

“And this gift is from me” Bell said as she hugged me.

“Dyla-” I was cut off by Blake who took hold of my hand and pulled me with him screaming “C’mon everyone! Cake time” and we stood before a table on which there was a chocolate cake.

“C’mon Luna cut the cake” Cole insisted and I nodded taking the knife from him.

“Happy Birthday to you” everyone began to sing in chorus but as odd as it made me feel, I felt happy for I was celebrating my Birthday after a long time.

I was going to cut the cake when Bell interrupted stopping me “Wait! Wait! First make a wish and blow those candles” she told me and every one groaned hearing her.

“She isn’t a child” I heard someone from the crowd.

“Shut up! It’s the rule before you cut the cake. It’s Mandatory” she snapped making me chuckle.

“Mandatory?” Blake asked and scoffed at her.

“I don’t know anything. You don’t listen to them Luna. Make a wish now” Bell insisted and I shook my head at her smiling at her behavior but did as she told me to do.

I closed my eyes and made a wish.

I blew the candles and cut the cake while everyone cheered.

I took the first slice and looked around.

“Oh! I thought she was going to offer me first as I am her best friend” I heard Bell sulking in disappointment.

“Shut up Bell!” Jenny glared at her and signaled to keep quite.

“Dylan?” I asked and searched for him in the crowd.

“Awwww” everyone cooed.

“Shut up guys” I told them embarrassed as I could feel my cheeks burning, a tint of pink appearing on my cheek as I blushed.

“Alpha!” Cole called him for me and I saw as the crowd gave him space to get near me.

He raised an eyebrow at me undoubtedly teasing me and smiled at me walking towards me.

Every step he took I felt something different inside me. Suddenly I became to feel nervous. The piece of cake was still on my hand as I waited for him to reach me. But I felt like I was paralyzed, hypnotized by him as I stood rooted to my place. It was happening for the first time in my life. I felt as if everything was perfect. My life was being perfect. Somehow I felt a beacon of hope coming towards me which could pull me out of all those punishing dreams and memories.

And I was seeing Dylan as that beacon of hope.

I never realized when he reached me and stood right before me.

When I didn’t move he took hold of my hand and took it towards his mouth taking a bite of the cake. Then he took the piece out of my hand and offered me to eat. I smiled at him and took a bite not caring about the people who were awed by their King’s sweetness.

“Look here!” I heard a guy and looked towards him to find him holding a camera in his hand asking me and Dylan to pose for the picture.

I was reluctant but when Dylan wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to him I could no longer deny.

While the camera clicked taking our pictures, my mind was only thinking about Dylan’s arm. It felt so right to be on his arms. Every time he wrapped his arm around me I felt as if I no longer need to care or take tension about the world. I felt so safe whenever I was with him.

I gazed up at him while he posed and smiled for the camera.

I had been thinking about this from a very long time now.

“Am I really right Luna for you? Because I think you are too perfect for me. And it scares me that what if I don’t stand on to your expectations. I have failed so many times in my life that I have lost every confidence in me.”

“And I don’t think that I could be able to bear to loose you” I thought and while I felt my eyes getting watery I blinked several times to stop my tears from flowing and smiled looking at the camera.

“Why are not eating anything?” Bell asked as she kept her hand on mine looking worried.

“Don’t you like it? I thought it was your favorite” she said and I shook my head negatively stopping her to get even more worried.

“uh No! No! I love it” I said and the spicy spaghetti assuring her that nothing was wrong.

“It’s starting to get cold right? I could see you shivering” she told me and I nodded.

“How did you all get time to prepare all this?” I asked as I gestured towards the decoration and buffet system where people were having their lunch now.

She smiled and shrugged.

“It was King who did all this” she told me and I gave her a disbelieving look.

“You mean h-he did all this for me” I asked and she nodded grinning at me.
