Half-breed

Chapter Five: My Birthday

Laying around the house while reading various books was probably my favorite thing to do. I probably could have read a thousand books and still wanted more. By the time I had finished the last one it was probably three in the afternoon and I should get dressed and go for a walk. I picked something comfortable but looked nice. I found long black slacks that we so soft they felt like sweat pants, a blue v-neck shirt and some converse.

I couldn’t decide what to do with my hair so it hung over my shoulders. Walking down the steps from our apartment was different. My vision was sharper, smell keener, and my hearing was impeccable. I could hear the maids talking while doing their chores, the ticking of all the clocks in the house, and not to mention the smell of something incredible.

Letting my nose do it’s job, I followed it down the hallway leading to the triplets rooms. Colts room smelled heavenly like chocolates and espresso. While Sky’s room smelled like honey, vanilla, while Ares room smelled of a rich musk with hints of mahogany. I knew I shouldn’t have ever walked into any of their rooms but I couldn’t help it. Leaving the second floor as soon as I came to my senses. Maybe they wouldn’t notice my scent, maybe they won’t be mad at me. The garden was quite, the birds were chirping the sun was shining it was a good day. My mind was wondering off while I day dreamed of the perfect mate. He would be strong, sweet, kind and loving. Not to mention tall dark and handsome wouldn’t hurt!

“What if those Alpha’s are our mates?” A voice in my head spoke.

I jumped and looked around wonder who else was here with me. Laughing erupted in my mind as the voice found it comical that I was actually looking for someone.

“I’m Aura, your wolf silly. Who did you think it was?” Aura was my wolf!

“I wasn’t sure really. But that would be kinda cool. But what Alpha would be our mate?” I asked her.

She was quiet for a while thinking about my question. Her and I talked all day getting to know each other it was really fun to have a friend that I really trusted. I had friends at school but I never trusted anyone I watched to many people have their lives ruined because they told secrets to other people who told everyone. I didn’t really want that in my life. I had two really good friends Jamie and Jenna they were fraternal twins. We hung out all the time and texted regularly but I never told them things like what boy I was interested in or anything. I was worried that if I did and they would ended up dating that person.

I saw it all the time, girls would tell their besties about the boy they had eyes for and no sooner the other girl would be by his side. Girls were mean and I didn’t want any reason to have extra drama in my life. The twins knew I lived in the Alpha house and resented me for never inviting them over. They would make snide comments about it often but I never took it to heart. But now I finally had someone who would never tell my secrets and whom I found attractive because she was apart of me! We chattered happily as we made our way home. Rushing up the steps I couldn’t help but stop by each of the boys’ rooms and enjoy their scent.

Aura reminded me that I needed to get ready to meet mom for dinner. We had a tradition, on my birthday we always went out to this Italian restaurant. It was where my parents got engaged and would take me with them on their dates. I was very young when my father died I didn’t really remember him. I never even remembered living anywhere else but this mansion.

Picking out an outfit for my birthday dinner was hard. I wasn’t sure if I should dress to the nines or something casual. It was my birthday and I could dress up if the mood struck me. Finally deciding to wear a dress it was a royal blue, it hung just below my knees and hand half sleeves, with a deep neckline. It was dress casual, picking a pair of black flat shoes and a small blue Burberry purses my outfit was cute, I finished the look with some eye liner and mascara leaving my long hair down. It was almost time to meet mom, she should be pulling up soon. I left the house and waited out front on the patio. Checking my phone for something to do and found several missed texted from the twins, each of them wished my happy birthday. Then started asking about my wolf, they were bombarding me with messages. They hadn’t gotten their wolves yet and had questions. I didn’t mind answering them but I texted them each that I would tell them in person on Monday saving myself from having to write them a book.

Mom pulled up and beeped the horn startling me, she laughed that she had made me jump so easily. Climbing into her car we drove off, she chattered about work and how she could wait to transform with me tonight. That worried me because I wasn’t sure if the triplets would be home from work and they often hung out on the porch drinking and laughing. She noticed that I was shy when she mentioned it and turned to stare at me.

“Don’t be shy! It’s just you and me. Leto and the boys went on a fishing trip for the weekend. They are celebrating the transfer of power.” She smiled as she said this.

“Good, I’m glad it’s just gonna be us this weekend.” I was relieved.

That means that my scent in their rooms will fade far before they come home and no one will ever know I stepped foot where I didn’t belong. This was first time that I had ever violated their privacy and I had guilt for doing so.
