The Alpha Assassin

20

At last the cake was ready and Gabe held it and wrapped it up in a a transparent wrap. At least he wouldn't be needing online classes for this one.

Though it was just to make her day special it wasn't a grand party just an indoor kinda stuff.

Gabe held the cake after he was signaled through the window to come up

While Liam had already gotten Clara into a short and lovely gown she looked beautiful. In fact beautiful is an understatement when you look at her. Not giving her a heads up that he knows today was her birthday and since she didn't tell him herself, he pretended not to know.

"Must I wear this dress to the place we are going tonight?"

"Yeah, you have to. If you don't dress formally you can't get inside take a look at me I am wearing a formal suit if I don't I won't be allowed in even if I am the Alpha, so that's how it is." Those were Liam's words to Clara that made her wear the dress quickly cause she wants to feel the wind in her ears. She really needed to go out.

"Okay let's go"

"Yeah sure" Liam made way to go out when there was a knock on the door, what a great timing.

Gabe and Eric came in all dressed up as well with things hidden behind their backs. So Clara was a bit confused and asked Liam

"Are they coming with us too?"

"Not really, am sure they have their own plans" Liam said not letting on that he knew what was going on.

Gabe and Eric both counted in unison

"1...2....3... Go"

They all chorused,

"Happy birthday"

"Awwn Gabe, Liam and Eric you were all in on this?"

They brought what they were holding behind them and Clara gasped due to the surprise.

Gabe brought out the huge cake while Eric brought out wine.

"A two step chocolate cake, Gabe thank you"

"Eric, thank you so much"

"Liam you did this didn't you? Thank you"

After that they sang

"Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy... Birth... Day...to you Clara..

Happy birthday to you

How old are you now?

How old are you now

How old are you now Clara? how old are you now?

Gabe started with "she is 19 years old"

with a funny ascent it got everyone laughing.

Clara couldn't stop laughing, she could readily say it was her best birthday yet.

She didn't know being away from her family on her birthday could be this fun. She thought it would be an awful day, but here she was, she has never been happier on her birthday. Thanks to these three guys.

"Pi.. pi..piiii... Hu...rr...ah....."

Bringing her from her thoughts..

She hugged them all and so they ate laughed like teenagers, they did everything she wanted, it was her day so whatever she says goes.

"Gabe stop stuffing your mouth with that huge cake of yours you may get a running stomach Buddy" Eric scolded Gabe

"Hey dude come on, stop scolding and nagging me I am not your wifey"

"Oh really, well since unlike someone we don't have a mate, I thought maybe you are my fated one"

"Keep dreaming love, it might come true" they kept teasing each other making Clara and Liam laugh heartily.

The wine tasted really good, after which they (Gabe and Eric) went out after bidding them goodnight.

"So Liam, I am all dressed up or was that beautiful place of yours an imagination?"

"For you my lady, it isn't come on let's go we may not come back tonight but tomorrow"

"Whoa!! Where is this place? I am getting more and more curious. I want to go it sounds so extra and I love it. Come on let's go."

"You seem impatient my lady"

"Why do you keep calling me your lady?"

"For tonight you are my lady" Liam stretched out his hand to Clara and she held it with no hesitations.

So they both went outside and began walking towards the valley.

A place filled with water and trees since she hasn't been able to leave, her room. She began running her long hair flew backwards and Liam couldn't stop but admire her from behind. She is everything a man would ever want in a woman. In his case she is everything an Alpha wolf would ever want in his Luna mate.

Seeing that she was going farther away from him, he increased his pace and within seconds he caught up with her.

When Clara was getting tired of running, she stopped and asked

"Why are you being so nice to me even after everything I said to you?"

"Because I knew you were angry"

"But I did mean that you were a monster Liam"

"I know"

"So why?"

"There are some things one just can't explain Clara, I wish I could but am not sure you would understand"

"Try me Liam"

*sighs* "Clara, you are my mate, and I feel drawn to you so I can't get mad at you even if I wanted to"

"So you wanted to be mad at me" Clara asked concerned.

"Yes, Clara the truth was I couldn't get over the fact that the only woman I have ever truly loved for decades viewed me as a monster. It hurt me so much beyond imagining and the the fact that you were terrified by my other self hurt me more than a thousand injury sustained from a sword fight in a battle field"

"I am still not used to the fact that am fated with you Liam and the fact that you are a werewolf, makes me uneasy. I am a human and you not being a human like myself is hard to fathom."

"I know Clara and I would not rest until you accept us"

"Us? What does that mean Liam?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"Yeah I really do"

"I am two one part is Liam the other part is Cole"

"I don't follow"

"The human part of me, the one you know is Liam, the other part the one you saw that night in your room is Cole he really wants you to accept him too"

"That is a lot to take in for one night Liam"

"Okay I will stop"

"So tell me, where is the beautiful place you were talking about?"

"Close your eyes Clara"

"Why? I want to see everything"

"You will but first, close your eyes" Liam said, immediately she closed her eyes he said "no matter how you feel don't open those cute eyes until I tell you to"

Clara nods and in one swipe he carried her in a bridal style and began running as fast as a werewolf could

"Hmm.... Liam ..what are you doing... Hey" Clara yelled still closing her eyes "the wind is too loud in my ears and this place seems dark, where are we going?" She asks in a high pitched voice.

"You will see Clara believe or just for tonight trust me its your birthday and I want to make it the perfect day for you"

After about 30 minutes they got to the special place Liam dropped Clara down and said

"You can open your eyes now.. We are here."
