Since today is Aria’s birthday I had offered the ballroom in the pack house to her parents for them to throw her a surprise party. Her parents were some of my best guardians and definitely two of my most loyal pack members and they had earned the right to celebrate their daughter in a big way if they wanted.
Aria's best friend was keeping her away from the pack house today to not blow the surprise so I was finally going to be able to get some work done without her constant barging in to report anything she could think of.
I had a pile of work a mile high that I needed to get to, my parents had gone on a vacation for the first time in many years to allow me to have a ‘test run’ of running the pack on my own before they officially turn it over to me in a few months.
“Hey baby!!!” I heard her voice screeching from the hall. To be fair, Jen had been my “girlfriend” for about a year but here recently I have been less and less interested in her and finding her more a hassle than anything. As soon as she entered the room she grabbed ahold of my hips and pulled me in for a kiss.
Usually my body would have reacted more to her touch than it is today. She pulled back and pouted.
“I thought you could take your future Luna to go get some lunch and then come back to your office for some desert…”
I had to turn away to not laugh in her face when she called herself my future Luna, I had enough on my plate without wanting to worry about that and she wasn’t my mate so the was no way in hell I was ever going to have her as my Luna. She was a great plaything until I could find my mate though.
“Sorry babe, I’ve got too much work here to do. Maybe during the party tonight, we can sneak off for some food and dessert, if that’s what we’re calling it now.”
She huffed a little but agreed to meet me about an hour after the party started by the bathrooms for that dessert she was referring to.
