(Alexia POV)
‘Come on! Run faster! Mate’ my wolf shouted seeing my hesitation.
“I don’t want to,” I complained but I still walked out of the packhouse. As I walked further away from the house, I could only hear the faded music in the background.
‘Why would our mate be in the forest?” I asked confused.
‘Maybe he is waiting for us there. Now go!’ she shouted as I sighed.
“I’m so sorry, my love” I whispered clenching my bracelet, before sprinting into the deep forest.
Minutes later and I was still running deeper and deeper into the forest. The smell of my mate was getting more and more closer and I began to run with unknown excitement bubbling up.
I stopped at the place where the sent is the strongest and looked around.
‘Where is he?’ my wolf linked me confused. His smell was lingering around and I know he is right here. But there was no one around.
“Bullshit!” a familiar voice came making my eyes widen.
“Owen?” I said looking around.
“Alexia?! Alexia over here!” a shout came making me look up.
“Mate!” I said as I felt my eyes turn back to hazel glow. I looked down and controlled my wolf.
My heart beating fast. I can't control my emotion.
Owen is my mate… He is actually my mate.
‘Thank you Moon Goddess!’
“Ow!” he shouted grabbing my attention.
“OWEN!!” I exclaimed as he smiled while he hangs from the trees by his hand.
“I’m alright, girlfriend!” he shouted as my wolf jumped in excitement at hearing his pet name for us.
“Be careful!” I shouted back with worry but at that exact moment, his leg on the thin branch slipped as he came falling down.
“OWEN!!” I screamed as I ran to him.
“Ow,” he said as he rubbed his back.
“Are you alright!” I asked as I grabbed his hands. The moment we touched, sparked exploded as his eyes widen.
“The hell?” he asked as he stared at our hand. He turned my hand and kept looking probably wondering where the sparks are coming from.
A full blown smile made way to my face as I lunged at him.
"Ahh!" He fell to the ground as I fell on top of him, hugging tight.
“Ow! my elbow” he suddenly said as I moved away. I took his hand and worriedly examined his bruised elbow.
“It's just a scratch, beautiful,” he said probably giving me a kiss on my cheek.
“What are you doing in the middle of the forest!” I shouted at him.
“Well, I couldn’t resist not seeing you. I mean it’s your birthday and I... well, I don’t know why but all of a sudden I felt an urge to see you then and there. I came here but your house guards, who by the way I knew you never had, didn’t allow me to enter. So my only option was this forest. Halfway through I kind of got lost and I climbed a tree hoping to find some clue of the direction.” He explained as I stared at him with wide eyes.
“You wanted to see me?” I asked as he nodded.
“Of course. I wanted to say happy birthday the time you are born. So happy birthday, love” he said as tears filled my eyes.
“Thank you!” I exclaimed as I once again lunged at him.
I kissed him hard on the lips as he grunted and kissed me back even fiercer. He quickly shifted and changed the position trapping me under him.
His beautiful blue and mesmerizing eyes met with my silver once. A few moments passed by as we stared into each other’s eyes.
The sparks between us were irresistible and I wanted nothing more than to mark him as mine.
The cold wind blew through his soft long hair covering his face and I reached out and put it behind his ear.
The hair on lack of enough length fell back as I huffed in frustration. He laughed at my pain as I glared at him.
“I really love this moment. Romantic and perfect for your birthday present.” He said as he rose up. He walked to the tree he climbed and took something from behind.
He came back and sat cross leg in front of me holding the cover.
“Close your eyes,” he said and I immediately did so, feeling excited.
“Do you trust me?” he asked as I nodded.
“Words, beautiful,” he said sending a shiver through my body.
“I trust you,” I whispered smiling.
“Then don’t open your eyes no matter what,” he said as I muttered an ok.
Suddenly I felt his breath hit my cheek. I sucked a deep breath as I shivered at it.
He kissed my cheeks and then my neck before moving back.
His hand made way around my waist and I straightened my back wanting nothing more than to open my eyes.
“No peeking,” he said as he momentarily covered my closed eyes before going back down to the waist.
He grabbed the hem of my shirt and slowly pulled it up making sure he traces his hand through my skin.
I shivered and whine as I wanted nothing more than to increase our contact.
The suspense was killing me. What is he doing?!
He took off my shirt as I sit there in my camisole confused. A few seconds later he put another top on me. This one was softer and more comfortable.
I raised my hand to touch it but he grabbed my hand.
“Nah Nah. No touching and don’t open your eyes until I say so” he said as I whined but still nodded.
“Ok now open,” he said after a few shuffling.
I slowly opened my eyes as I grasped.
Owen was sitting in front of me in a grey hoodie with writings ‘Her boyfriend’. I looked down at mine and it was written ‘His girlfriend’.
I smiled as he shyly scratched his neck.
“You brought a couple outfit,” I said as he nodded. “But you hated these things,” I raised my eyebrow confused.
“Well. It’s your birthday and I want to make you happy. I know you like these things and as your boyfriend, it’s my duty to get what you need” he smiled as I stared at him in happiness.
“This s**t is too happy to be true!” I said as I kissed his cheek and hug him.
“But we won’t wear it out often,” he said as I frowned.
“We wear on our dates,” I said as he raised his eyebrow.
“We go on a date every Saturday,” he said as I grinned.
“Exactly!” I said as he rolled his eyes.
“Whatever you wish, my love”
