Alpha Kayden and His hybrid Mate

Chapter 8 | Birthday

~Kiki~

'Luna Sienna!'

'Go Luna Sienna...'

These words were ringing in my ears long after I left the arena. My mind knew this was inevitable. Alpha Kayden would mark her in front of the entire pack and then proceed with the mating ceremony. She will give him the cutest and strongest pups ever known. My stupid heart had a hard time digesting the inevitable.

The only consolation to this whole thing was that I wouldn't be there to witness it if they banished me on the full moon night. I will become a rogue while Alpha Kayden begins his wonderful new life with the love of his life.

From the way he kissed Sienna in the locker room and then showered her with love and affection after she had won the fight, it was obvious even to a blind person that he was very much into her.

Whatever he did with me the last two times didn't make any sense. Why lure me in when he had someone like Sienna as his girlfriend? I just needed to keep my distance and not get hurt anymore.

Huffing out a long sigh, I fell on my bed in despair. If only he hadn't given me false hopes by kissing me like that. That was something totally unheard of. Beta Zeke and his friends w***e around all the time, but there were no such talks about the alpha. He seemed to be truly devoted to his girlfriend, except when he saw me recently.

I fisted my hair in with both my hands and pulled at it in confusion. The kind of excitement that pumps through my veins when I think about him is ridiculous.

I have half a mind to walk right into his bedroom at this moment. I'm sure he would throw me out, but only after kissing me senseless. And I was the one who was going to get hurt in the end. He would pretend like nothing's ever happened between us.

Taking in several breaths to calm myself, I fell asleep sometime after midnight. It was Sunday tomorrow. There was no need to wake up early. No job, no early morning breakfast as there was no training on Sundays. 

"Happy birthday!!" I was almost pushed off the bed and jolted awake with some peals of giggles, followed by a gravelly voice.

"Wake up! You are no longer a minor... can you believe it?!" Megan sounded far more excited than me.

I wasn't interested in knowing who else was in the room. Pulling the comforter closer to my neck, I turned away from her and closed my eyes. This must be a dream anyway. Megan never cared about my birthday before. Neither was she ever so nice to me.

"Oh, come on Pinky. Stop being such a sleepyhead. We have plans." It was Benji's turn to push me off the bed. This time I actually almost fell down, but he caught me by the edge.

"What are you two doing here so early?" I mumbled in a complaining tone, rubbing my eyes.

"Early? It's 9 o'clock and your parents are waiting for breakfast. Do what you need to and get ready."

Ugh. Just another day full of chores. Benji made it sound like he bought tickets to Disneyland or something.

"Get ready for what?"

I put my glasses on and looked at them two properly this time. They both looked pretty excited about something.

"Dad agreed for us to go to the Nightcrawlers to celebrate your birthday! Now that you are eighteen, he believes you are responsible enough and will make sure we two behave as well."

Oh wow! Dad agreed to let me go to a club? And even take two under eighteen kids along?

"That's a miracle!"

"I know! We need to go shopping to buy dresses and shoes and nice purses and whatnot. I even got us a hair appointment besides mani and pedi. Hurry up, we only have so many hours in a day!"

I couldn't believe my ears. Megan was much nicer to me when Benji was around, but today was much more awesome. I jumped out of the bed with renewed enthusiasm, forgetting all about Alpha Kayden and Sienna with their incoming pups and blah.

A huge smile appeared on Benji and Megan's faces as I said okay and rushed to the bathroom. They seemed to be up to no good. They probably want to add the club bathroom to the list of funky places they had s*x at.

I accompanied them to the mall where we first got our hands and feet taken care of. Boy, it was good to be pampered. I looked at my beautiful French manicure as we walked over to the coffee shop before getting our hair done.

I sipped on my ice coffee and rolled my eyes when Megan was pissed at me because Benji decided to go with the hairstyle I selected for him, and not what she suggested. It was soon my turn to get a nice cut.

"Why don't you have bangs yet? You have the perfect face shape for that!" I chose a feather cut, but the hairstylist had something better on her mind. I fell in love with the fringe she called curtain bangs.

We walked out around 3 PM to pick a dress but went to the food court first to grab some greasy Chinese food before going crazy.  

"Hubba hubba!"

Megan pointed to something I had been avoiding all day. I was struggling to keep the picture of Alpha Kayden and Sienna kissing out of my mind, but here they were, waiting in the pizza line and making out.

My stomach did an uncomfortable flip, and I was no longer hungry. I spent the rest of the afternoon in a foul mood and returned home before seven to get ready for dinner and some dancing afterward.

'I have no right to feel mad at him. He's not my mate.' I told this to myself over and over as I showered and got ready.

My eyes lit up at the sight of my dress. I wasn't the dressy type. Well, even if I was, I was doing back breaking work most of the time and the most dressy I got was to switch from faded jeans to leggings; like the blue polka dot leggings I wore to the mall earlier today.

Tonight was different. I got myself a beautiful, no, a sexy black dress with a halter neck and a keyhole. My wavy cinnamon locks fell just below my breasts and I moved my head around to feel the awesome bounce in them.

"Wow!" There was a tinge of jealousy in Megan's voice as she walked into my room.

"You look... good! I mean, you look really good, maybe because I'm so used to seeing you wear rags all the time."

"Well, thanks. You look beautiful. Pear green is definitely a perfect color for your eyes."

"Thanks!"

She turned around happily and showed off her hair before Benji blared his car horn impatiently.

"Boys, I tell you! They don't put in any efforts to get ready and just breath down our necks all the time." She said, and we walked out of the house to meet Benji and his friend Leroy.

Leroy let out a whistle as I walked to the back door to step in. 

"You look stunning, Kiki. Couldn't recognize you there."

"Thank you."

He was a jerk to all the omegas except me because Benji wouldn't have any of it. I preferred his jerk side over this creep thing he was doing by staring at me as we drove to the club.

"Did you get a haircut?" His eyes were on my B cups while he listened to Megan going gaga about our shopping trip.

"You picked a really sexy dress for yourself." Leroy ignored everything Megan said and was still staring at me.

I cleared my throat and looked at Benji who was oblivious to his friend's words or actions.

"We are here!" Megan jumped out of the car and opened the door for me excitedly before running into Benji's arms. She sure was an adorable sister when she was nice to me.

"Lee, did you know the alpha was going to be here?" Benji asked Leroy while my heart started thudding.

I turned around to see Alpha Kayden seated by a booth with Sienna, Beta Zeke, and a few other friends, enjoying some beer. As if on cue, his eyes lifted, and he was directly looking at me the next moment.
