Chapter 3: My Birthday
1403 Words
Nxy’s POV
I woke up without my bonnet on. I have no clue where it is. I hear my phone buzz on the dress on the other side of the bed. Gathering up all my strength, and rolled to other side of the bed to check my phone.
There were happy birthday messages from Deena, my parents and Mrs. Paulina.
Since I didn’t get any photos last night, I decided to go to town and take some myself. My pink floral maxi needs some work put in so I decided to wear that. Since it was warming up, this would be perfect for today. I did a wash and go on my hair. Anything else would have taken 3 hours and I’m trying to go down and take a look at my new car.
As I’m getting ready, that scent suddenly crosses my nose again. This time, it’s stronger. I try to ignore it and head to my bedroom door.
As I approach, I see a shadow below the crack of the door. I try to open it fast and catch whoever it is, but unfortunately there’s no one there when I do.
“The hell is going on?” I say to myself
I started walking down the hall to the stairs that lead downstairs.
“Where are you off to?” Santino suddenly said lurking in the d**n dark.
“Oh my Goddess. You scared me Mr. Santino.
“Can you stop calling me Mr. Santino? I’m literally just five years older than you.” He asked
“I’ve been calling you that since I came to work here. Why the change now.. sir?” I smirked
He looked at me with a look of annoyance.
“Anyways. I need my suit picked up for tomorrow.” He said while looking at his phone.
“I’m off today though. Alpha and Luna said it.” I said straight up
“I’m soon to be Alpha, don’t get on my bad side.”
He such a f***in a**hole.
“Today is my birthday though. I was about to go take pictures.” I pleaded.
“Pictures? For what?” He asked not really caring
“For my i********:. I just want to take some.” He was starting to get on my nerves asking all of these questions.
Tears began to fill my eyes. I usually don’t cry, but I just could not take the way he was treating me anymore.
He was shocked himself. He had never seen me cry before. He knew he was pushing my limits.
“Hey. Relax. I was just joking.” He lied
I didn’t say anything. I just dried my eyes and walked off. I could not take him and whatever the hell that scent was. It’s literally destroying my nose right now.
“Nyx. Wait. Look I’ll take your pics of you want. Take it as my apology.” I pleaded.
I didn’t want anything to do with him.
“Nah. I’m good.. Mr. Santino.”
He analyzed me from head to toe. Taking in every inch of me.
“What are you doing ?” I asked
“Just trying to figure out your good angles.” He said in a deep husky voice
“I already said I’m good. Please, I don’t need any help. I have my tripod.” I confidently said
He just laughed and took my tripod and threw it on the sofa next to us.
“Babe. You this won’t do you justice.” He grabbed my hand and started leading me down the hallway to this room I had never been to before.
“Where are we?” I asked while trying to pull away from him.
It’s so cold in here. Where the hell did he bring me. He cut the lights on and there was a full photo studio. Have I never been here before or was this room something else before?
“Come. Stand here.” He ordered.
I didn’t hesitate to hit try up. It was so cold in here my n*****s started peeking through my dress.
Santinos eyes lowered to my breasts.
“You must be freezing.” He inquired while I shyly looked away.
“Look. I don’t feel comfortable. Can we just wrap this up, and do you not smell that?”
“Smell what?”
“There is this scent I have been smelling since the night I shifted. It followed me all the way here. It’s weird because I saw another wolf that night too.”
“We’re finished.” He angrily said.
“What? What did I say wrong?” I asked him
He all of a sudden wanted to wrap up before we even started. What did I say wrong.
“Take your tripod and go take the pics yourself. I have something to do.” He said while taking out his phone and dialing a number.
“Yeah. Hey babe. I miss you. Come by. I got something for you. See you soon”
What the hell. Is he serious? I couldn’t believe he alters my plan, then ruins the ones he made, and on top of that calls his girlfriend and ask for a booty call in front of me.
I can’t stand this man!
“With all due respect Mr. Santino, you’re an a**hole.” I rolled my eyes and walked past him. I wasn’t sure if he was going kill me on the spot.
He grabbed my arm and pinned me against the wall so I couldn’t move. He put his chest up to me face.
“That scent you smell is me darling. Yupp that right. I saw you last night. Not really much to see. I just wanted a little peep, but I was so disappointed.” He spat
I begin to cry and tried to free myself from him.
“You’re a very disrespectful beta. Once I become the Alpha, I’ll be sure to deal with you appropriately.”
He released me and I ran out crying. My birthday was officially ruined. I couldn’t believe him. I put my phone on Do Not Disturb. I didn’t want to talk to anyone.
I could only hope graduation was better tomorrow. I have not even seen my new car. I know the Alpha and Line must think I’m ungrateful. I just want to be left alone in my room tonight.

I woke up in the middle of the night sweating so much! My wolf was going wild. I could not understand why. The darkness in my room kept me half asleep, but she just wouldn’t let me completely sleep. I decided to go downstairs to the kitchen and get some water. I had on a pink sheer nightgown. I didn’t think anyone was going to be up at this time of night anyway.
I got my cup of water and sat on the bar stool to meditate for a bit, drawing out the tip of the glass with my index finger. I graduate tomorrow and I don’t even feel happy right now.
I heard a noise from the left entrance of the kitchen. It was the side door leading to the garden. Someone was jiggling the door knob.
It scared me, but I decided to peek around the corner just enough not to be seen to see who it is.
It was that a**hole. Looks like he left his key. I started banging on the door. I didn’t want him waking everyone up in the pack house so I just opened the door.
“Oh Nyx. The disrespectful beta.” He stumbled in saying while glancing at my night gown.
“Are you drunk?”
“Look at you all dressed up for me.” He continued to stumble around saying
Ugh. He’s even worse drunk. I didn’t want him waking up everyone in the house so I just sat him down and went to get him a glass of water.
While handing him the glass of water and grabbed my wrist and sat me on his lap.
“Mr. Santino. Please let me up.” I pleaded with him
What was he going to do? I was scared. He put his nose in the nape of my neck.
“Mmm. My mate smells so good.” He mumbled
“Mate?!” I shockingly yelp.
