(Alexia POV)
“Mamma Lucy!” I shouted as I ran to a very weak looking woman lying on the hospital bed.
“Alexia! What a surprise!” she replied, a smile made way to her face as she kissed my forehead.
“You look better!” I complimented as she laughed.
“Thank you, my child. I hope my son is taking good care of you” she said looking at Owen. He put the bag of fruit on the table next to the bed smiling shyly at her.
“Yes, Mamma Lucy,” I replied to which she nods her head.
“I’m glad,”
“Owen dear, can you take that cover from the shelf,” she asked as Owen nodded and did as directed.
He took a black designer cover from the cupboard and gave it to Mamma.
"Here" she extended the cover to me.
“Happy birthday,” she grinned as my eyes widen.
“Mamma! You didn’t have to!” I said as I took the cover. Inside the cover was a small box covered in a gift wrapper. I quickly unwrapped the present revealing a beautiful red velvet box.
My eyes widen as I looked from Owen to Mamma.
It was a gold bracelet filled with hanging stars and moons.
“Thank you, Mama!” I said as I hugged her. She took the bracelet and put it on my wrist.
“It's beautiful,” I said admiring the gorgeous bracelet. I kissed her cheek as she giggled and said' your welcome'.
“Sit, son,” she patted the space behind me. Owen quietly obeyed as he sat behind me, taking me into his lap. His other hand took hold of Mama’s hand.
The rest of the time was spent talking about other random things.
Honestly, I love this time. I could feel the love radiating from them. It's the most amazing feeling.
'I couldn't agree more' my wolf Sabria said inside my head.
An hour later I made my way to my pack.
“You are late. I was going to start planning for the little mermaid” Mom laughed as soon as I entered the kitchen.
Rolling my eyes I hugged her before making my way out of the kitchen.
"Oh no. My dear. You need to help with the food. We are behind schedule" she said making me stop and turn around.
I groaned and sat on one of the empty chairs before starting to cut the vegetables.
The kitchen was filled with omega all running around and arranging everything.
“I can manage that, Alpha Alexia” Nicole, one of the omega said.
“That’s ok. I'll do this” I said, purposefully ignoring the title calling. I hate people calling me by the title so I make everyone call me by my name. Well everyone except Nicole.
“Go and wash. We'll prepare everything” Mom said as I handed her the sliced vegetable.
“I am afraid, you will put the theme as Little mermaid?” I joked making her laugh out loud.
“Oh come on it was your favorite movie,” she said as I laughed.
“Yea when I was like 6,” I said.
“Don’t worry, I won’t do a princess theme on your 18th birthday. All alphas from other packs will be here and so will be your mate. We can’t embarrass you” she grinned as I rolled my eyes.
“I’m going to go dress,” I muttered and made my way up the stairs.

“Happy Birthday!” everyone shouted as I made my way down the stairs.
“Thank you!” I smiled as a crowd surrounds me. They introduced themselves, greeted me and gave me presents.
The whole party reeked mostly of Alpha scent and power. I knew my parents will only focus on Alphas but this is just too much.
I can only see a few unmated males.
“So what do you think of the theme?” mom said walking to me.
“I love it!” I said as I hugged her tight.
The theme was black with violet lights. The room was dark with only light from the violet LEDs. The decorations mostly consisted of flowers beautifully arranged.
A large table was placed in the center filled with food and dessert making my stomach grumble.
“Happy birthday,” she said and kissed my cheek.
“Happy birthday, princess” dad greeted next as he hugged and kissed my forehead.
“Thank you so much, guys!” I said smiling brightly.
“It’s almost 10.” A shout came as I looked at my parents in excitement.
Time to cut the cake.
********
5 minutes left to finally be 18 years old and I stood in front of a huge birthday cake.
‘I’m afraid’ I linked my wolf, Sabria.
‘I am too. But if he isn’t our mate, I’m sure the one we are blessed with will be better than him’ she said as I growled.
‘I don’t want anyone else’ I said as she sighed.
“Make a wish and cut the cake, Alex!” mom said as I nodded nervously.
‘I wish Owen is my mate’ I silently prayed before opening my eyes and blowing the candle.
The clock at that exact moment surprisingly struck 10 and I felt my wolf’s energy flow to me. My eyes turned gold and I felt a sweet scent invading my nose.
It was of a mix of pine and cinnamon. The scent made my heart beat fast. A shiver made its way through my body as I felt every other scent, even the unavoidable alpha scents, vanish.
‘Mate’ my wolf shouted as the color drained from my face.
No! That is not possible! Owen is not here!
