Happy Birthday Alpha
Lennox
“I need to know that we don’t have a traitor in our midst. You are the only one I trust with this.”
“Understood Alpha. I’ll do my best.”
“I’d like to have this figured out before the spring solstice ball. We are hosting several other Alphas. I can’t in good faith put them and their Lunas in danger. If we don’t have any answers before then, we will have to cancel.”
“Two weeks should be plenty of time to sniff out the perpetrator.”
“I knew I could count on you. How was your trip? Are you enjoying traveling?”
“Yes, I actually would like to continue as soon as this incident is dealt with and Luna Everlee is safe.”
“I see no issues with that. I’ll set up more meetings as soon as I can.”
“I’ll get started and update you at lunch.”
Having Zeke here helping me did make me feel better. There are few people I trust with this job and he is at the top of that list. Truth be told. I pray he finds nothing. I don’t think I can stomach a member of my own pack being a traitor. No, it has to be the witches.
Lennox
“Donavan, any updates on witch activity?”
Donovan
“No sir, nothing. The elder council did return my call with an appointment time. They will see you and Luna Everlee Wednesday afternoon, 3pm.”
Lennox
“Great. Please keep checking on the witches. My gut says they are involved.”
Donovan
“Yes Alpha, I will.”
It has to be the witches.
Everlee
Lathan is my guard today. I plan on attempting to get him to talk to me. To lighten up just a bit. I will probably fail, just like every other time I’ve tried, but this time I’m going to try with food. Donna has agreed to teach me to make Lennox’s favorite dinner. Complete with his favorite dessert. He has been so distracted with all the imposter business, I’ve felt invisible and useless. His birthday is tomorrow and I don’t think he even realizes it, so I’m going to surprise him with a romantic dinner tonight, followed by dessert, and with any luck, some more dessert in the bedroom.
“Hello Lathan, how are you today?”
“Luna. I’m fine, thank you. Miss Donna says she is all set up for you downstairs.”
“Great! I’m gonna need your help today. I’ve never really baked successfully before, so I need a taste tester.”
“I’d rather not, Luna. It would be a distraction.”
“Nonsense! Would you have me feed your Alpha food that tastes bad? Think of how humiliated I’ll be if I feed him a bland birthday cake! I will DIE! So, you’ll basically be saving my life, which IS your job. Right?”
I flashed an I got you smile. I saw the panic and confusion cross his face. For a second I think I’ve broken him, but he gives me a stern nod and leads the way down the stairs to the kitchen. Well, it isn’t the reaction I’d hoped for, but a win, none the less.
“Hello darling! Come in, I’ve got everything set out and ready.”
“Hi, Miss Donna, thank you so much for doing this. I’ve been so nervous.”
“Oh, don’t be, it’s simple really. Now let’s get cooking.”
She begins showing me how to prep for fried chicken and asparagus and baked potatoes. Next up is the baking. I dread this part. My mom is a fantastic baker, I always try but it’s just not a gift I’ve been blessed with. Thinking of her makes my heart ache. Goddess I miss her most in moments like these.
Hopefully Donna will do most of the work so Lennox will have a cake worth eating for his birthday.
“Ok, chocolate cake with chocolate icing. The richer the chocolate the better. That’s what he likes.”
“I have to admit Donna, I’m a horrible baker. I’ll help where you need me, but you should probably handle the important parts. haha.”
“How about you watch me and follow along and make your own separate cake. That way if it doesn’t turn out you can give him the one I make. But I’m sure you just need practice darling.”
Lathan stands at the door, stonefaced as usual and on high alert. As if the letter writer is going to leap through the window and abduct me right here from the pack house kitchen. I can’t help but roll my eyes at the thought. I honestly don’t feel like I’m in danger. If I’m being honest his demeanor makes me more nervous than anything.
A couple hours later we have two cakes baking and a cupcake made from my batch to taste test. We have chicken frying and asparagus and potatoes baking in the oven. I hope Lennox likes everything.
Donna shows me how to ice the cupcake And I walk over to Lathan.
“Here, taste this.”
He starts to say no but he can tell by the look on my face, that isn’t in his best interest. He takes a bite and immediately stops chewing. A look of pure panic crossed his face.
“What’s wrong?”
He shakes his head and slowly walks to the garbage where he spat out my cupcake.
“My advice would be to not serve that to the Alpha. Sorry my Luna.”
He did actually look as if it pained him to tell me it wasn’t good.
“Ugh! What did I do wrong?! Why does this happen every time! Is it really that bad?
I take a small bite and lurch as my body instantly rejects the dry, sugarless cake. I spit in a napkin and turn toward Donna with tears in my eyes. She pulls me in and holds me as I sob.
“It’s alright dearie, we all make silly mistakes like this. It looks like you just forgot to add the sugar.”
I glance across the island and see a cup of sugar sitting in the middle of the mess I had made stirring my ingredients together.
“Well, at least we have yours to give him. Hopefully I didn’t mess the chicken up too. Lathan, care to taste the chicken?”
Lathan showed more facial expressions in that moment than I had seen from him in weeks, and it caused Donna and I to laugh uncontrollably.
“Maybe we’ve put poor Lathan’s stomach through enough for one day. I’ll taste it dearie.”
After Donna approves the meal I cooked, I run upstairs to change and ready for my surprise birthday dinner date with my Alpha. Donna set the table in the kitchen for us so we could have some privacy. I choose a slinky red dress that hits just above my knees. The deep V back stops just above my butt and makes a bra impossible. It has a scoop neck and hugs my hips just right. I slip on some black strappy sandals and let my hair hang in loose curls down my back. I don’t put much makeup on, just some blush, mascara, and a red lip stain. I do one last check in the mirror and excitedly head downstairs.
Everlee
“Love, can you tear yourself away from work long enough to have dinner with me?”
Lennox
“Of course I can Everlee. I’ll be in the dining room shortly.”
Everlee
“Actually, meet me in the kitchen. I’ll be waiting.”
Lennox
“Be right there.”
Great! Lennox will come in to find me sitting at the table with candles and flowers and red wine all surrounding a meal I made. And if the food isn’t great, I’ll make up for it later, in the bedroom.
Lennox
Walking down to the kitchen I can feel that Everlee is nervous and giddy. My curiosity is piqued. Then I see her. Sitting there in a dress that fits her so well, I find myself literally breathless.
“What is this, love?”
“Happy birthday baby!”
“My birthday?”
I have been so busy I actually forgot my birthday is even close.
“Huh, I guess it is tomorrow, isn’t it? Well, thank you, love, this is amazing.”
I take her hand and kiss it before sitting down across from her. The table has been set with the finest China and a fresh bouquet of flowers. Candles have been placed all around the room and on the table and are the only lighting in the room, creating a very romantic ambiance.
“My favorite meal. I didn’t know you could cook.”
“Well Donna helped me, but yes, I can cook. Baking on the other hand, well, let’s just say it’s not my specialty. Hehe.”
“Oh, I’m well aware of your specialty, Love.”
I watch her face turn as red as the dress she is wearing and suddenly, neither of us is all that interested in dinner.
I wink at her and begin to eat the food she prepared. It is delicious. Is there anything this woman can’t do?
She reluctantly begins to eat as well, trying to calm the yearning building below. She stands to clear the table of our plates and watching her walk away, is almost torture. The way that dress is cupping her ass almost has me jealous. I tug on my pants, adjusting them to accommodate my growing member.
“Are you ready for cake?”
Standing at the kitchen island she smiles at me as she cuts two pieces of cake and plates them. Before she can make her way to the table I walk to her. She licks some icing from her finger and I can’t wait anymore. Cake isn’t what I want for desert. At least, it’s not all I want.
Everlee
I put my finger in icing as I plated a piece of Lennox’s birthday cake. I turn, and he is right behind me, without giving it any thought I bring my finger to my mouth and lick the icing. I hear a growl erupt from him and suddenly I’m bent over the granite counter of the island, his hard c**k pressing into my behind. He slowly unzips my dress with one hand, while the other is caressing the skin on my back. He begins leaving gentle kisses down my spine, sending the most glorious sensation racing through my body like lightning. He pulls me up and lets the dress fall in a puddle at my feet. Pushing my hair to the side, his lips continue the sweet assault on my skin, starting at my ear and pausing slightly on my mark.
I can’t help the moan that escapes as his teeth lightly scratch over it. I feel his hard on twitch at the sound. I spin around, pressing my breasts against his hard chest. I unbutton his shirt, making sure to take my time as I make my way to his pants. I unbuckle the black leather belt and toss it aside. Moving to my knees, as I unbutton and unzip his trousers, leaving his briefs on as I pull them down. I bring my lips to his waistline, laying kisses just above his waistband as I slowly pull them down.
I grab his p***s as it emerges, already rock hard and waiting to fulfill all my fantasies. I glance up at him as I take his balls in my mouth. Licking my way up his c**k, I flick my tongue across the slit on his head, cleaning up the sweet seed he is already spilling. He grabs my shoulders and pulls me up into a passionate kiss. Laying me across the island, he rakes his finger across his cake and brings it to my lips, where he wipes it, before trailing it down my chest and around my n*****s. I follow suit and wipe the chocolate icing down his chest to his happy trail. He mounts me and explores my mouth with his tongue, and licks up all of the icing on my body, while simultaneously exploring my vulva with his fingers. I push him back and lick every bit of icing off of his rock hard abs.
Lennox takes my face in his hands and looks into my eyes. I’ve never felt as seen and loved as I do in this moment. He kisses me as he lays me down on the counter and hovers over my entrance. I wrap my legs around his hips, pulling him closer until his head is pushing into me. He enters slowly, pushing deeper and deeper. I tilt my hips up to allow him deeper, and squeal at the pleasure I feel with being filled with his presence, body, mind, and soul. He begins moving, every pump as deep as the last, hitting that spot over and over until I’m screaming for him not to stop.
My orgasm coming closer and closer as he starts growling with every thrust. Finally I feel the sweet release as my body vibrates with more pleasure than I ever knew possible. Lennox’s hold on my breasts grows tight as he releases his load deep inside me. Just then, visions attack my brain like tidal wave. I see myself, pregnant, then surrounded by several pups of different ages. In flashes, like a scrapbook of someone’s life.
But it feels foreign. Like these aren’t my thoughts. Then I realize, it’s because they aren’t my thoughts. They’re Lennox’s. His hopes for the future. A future we haven’t even discussed. I guess I knew he wanted children at some point but being bombarded with the reality of his expectations of me in this way is overwhelming. My heart rate is quickening and I’m struggling to catch my breath. I feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest.
“Love? What’s wrong? Are you ok?”
“I. I. I need to go.”
I run, butt naked, down the hall, up the stairs and to our room. I go straight to the closet and throw on some shorts and a t-shirt, not even bothering to put on a bra and underwear. I step into my sandals and head for the door. Of course I’m met by Lennox. The confusion on his face stings a bit, but I’m not ready to have this talk with him and if I stay here, he will just read my mind.
“Please. I need to go.”
The hurt on his face is enough to bring tears to my eyes.
“I’ll never force you to stay Everlee. I told you that from the beginning.”
“Thank you.”
A tear slides down my face and I kiss his cheek.
“At least take Lathan. We still don’t know who wrote the note. Even if you leave, I’ll always protect you.”
I nod my head and make my way downstairs. I don’t know where I’m going or how I’m getting there, I just have to go.
Lathan is waiting by the front door.
“The car is out front, Luna.”
I run out and jump into the back seat of the waiting car. I lay down and start crying uncontrollably. My chest burns as we pull away from the pack house and I know Lennox is feeling it too. This isn’t what I wanted. I never wanted to hurt him. I love him! What is wrong with me.
Everlee
“Happy birthday Lennox. I’m sorry.”
“Luna, where am I going?”
I think for a second.
“My apartment I guess. You’ll have to break in, I didn’t grab my key.”
He nods and stays quiet the rest of the drive, as I silently cry into the expensive leather seats of the Lincoln towncar.
