(Stella P. O. V)
I wake up early morning feeling happy and fresh.
*Good morning lovelies,* Sally, my wolf, said to me looking quite happy today.
“Good morning Sally. What happened? You are looking quite happy today?” I ask her.
“I don’t know Stella, I feel like something good is going to happen today,” Sally said while wagging her tail inside my mind.
“And what it can be?” I ask her.
“Well, I don’t quite put my finger on it, maybe finding our mate or something since today is Nikkie’s birthday party and many alphas and betas are going to come here to celebrate it with us, maybe one of them will be our mate,” she said looking excited.
“I don’t know Sally, but let’s hope they were because I really want to find my mate, I have gone to many mates hunt camps and traveled many places but can’t able to find him, and almost give up on trying to find my mate, ” I said with a sigh.
“I know, my love, and I can understand how you feel, but trust me we will find him, I can feel he is not that much far away from us,” Sally said smiling at me.
“Thank you, Sally,” I said while smiling at her.
“Stella, are you still sleeping in your bed, get up and get ready, we have a lot of things to do today,” my mom said while knocking on the door.
“Coming Mom,” I said while getting out of my bed and walking towards my closet, I chose a nice, but casual dress and went inside the washroom to get ready. I brush my teeth, do my business, and get inside the hot shower; after that, I apply the body wash on my body shampoo my hair, and wash under the shower. After a shower, I get dressed and walk downstairs to the kitchen to help Mom and Mary prepare breakfast for everyone.
After breakfast, I help Dad and Cole finish the last preparation for the party and let Mary and Mom prepare lunch. After lunch was over, I was heading to my room to have a nap before the party, but Cole stopped me on my way.
“Stella, I and Dad, have to sign a new treaty between me and Alpha Caleb, would it be okay if you and Mom check that everything was done and nothing is left for the party?” Cole asks me while walking towards me.
“Sure,” I said while smiling at him.
“Thank you, here is the list of all the things you have to check,” he said, smiling at me handing me the list, and walking away to his office. I looked at the list and started checking everything.
“So all the decorations are done perfectly, the food buffet is arranged, DJ is here, the bar was full with the drinks, the waiter is here to serve, tables are arranged, the nameplates and crockery are arranged in the table, stall of sweets are arranged nicely on the table, good we are finished,” I said with a sigh and go to my room to have some rest.
I wake up after 2 and half an hour and walk towards my closet, I select the dress I am going to wear at the party and put it in the bed, and walk towards the washroom to take a much-needed hot shower. After taking a shower, I get dressed put up the light makeup, and walk downstairs to see the guest have already started to arrive, and Mom and Dad are attending to them and joining them. After talking with some guests, and meeting my friend, Mom came toward me and told me to bring the cake to the living room.
Just as I started to walk toward the kitchen, I smelled the most intoxicating smell in the world. I smell grapefruit and mint.
“Mate, Mate,” my wolf Sally shouts inside my head while wagging her tail in excitement, and I turn to meet the most beautiful eyes in the world.
“Mine,” we said at the same time. He excused himself and walked toward me, and I too started walking towards him, I heard my mom calling for me, but I did her deaf ear and kept walking toward him.
“Hello, beautiful, I am Torak, Alpha Torak Campbell, and you are?” he asks stretching; his hand for a handshake.
“My name is Stella,” I said while putting my hand on his for the handshake and felt the sparks running all over my body.
“A beautiful name for a beautiful woman,” he said and planted a kiss on the back of my hand, making me blush.
“Well, I hate to interrupt you guys, but don’t you have something to do, Stella,” Mom said while walking toward us.
“Oh sorry, I almost forgot, please excuse me,” I said still blushing at him.
“Sure,” he said, and I walked towards the kitchen to bring the cake to the living room. I can’t believe I have finally found my mate, I thought with a smile.
I help the cook arrange the cake and bring it to the living room while calling everyone to gather around the cake to cut it. I give the knife to Nikki stand beside her and sing the birthday song with everyone. I feel someone looking at me and look up to see Torak looking at me and blush under his gaze, making him smirk at me. I turn to see Nikki holding a piece of cake in front of me, I take a small piece of cake and feed it to her, and she feeds it back to me.
One by one everyone came and gave birthday wishes, and the gift they had brought for her to Nikki Torak also came and wished her, while we stood beside her, and I kept glancing his way from time to time, and he saw him smirking at me knowing that I keep looking at him.
“Why don’t you go and spend some time with him,” Mom asks me.
“Is it okay with you guys if I leave you guys here alone?” I ask them.
“Of course, we are here for her, you’re not a birthday girl, so you can leave us,” Mom said while chuckling at me, I thanked her and walked away from them. I look around for Torak but I can’t find him anywhere suddenly I feel someone grab me from behind and drag me, then pin me on the wall. I opened my eyes to see it was one else but Torak.
“Torak,” I said, but he shut me up while putting his finger on my lips.
“Shh, don’t tell you anything I have waited so long for you, I have tried to found everywhere, but I wasn’t able to find you, now you are here, and right in front of me, so I didn’t want to waste any more time and claim you as mine,” he said and close his eye and move closer. I close my eyes and move forward, for a kiss, as soon as our lips touch each other, I feel the sparks running all over my body.
I have heard the pack’s members talking about their first kiss with their mate and how it feels like, but it was much more than that, and I am happy to feel that I have finally found my mate. When he kissed me my entire body tingled with fire, and I felt a jolt of electricity surge through my body. I never knew I was incomplete until this moment. I can see us growing old together with our children and grandchildren.
We get separated to take a breath for a second, then kiss again. Torak pushed me back to the wall and tried to lift me up, while still kissing me, I lifted myself and wrapped my arms around his neck and legs around his waist.
Soon the kiss becomes heated, and I withdraw to get some air and feel Torak kissing and sucking my neck, I put my hand over my mouth to stop myself from moaning loudly at the party.
“Wait, wait, Torak, ahh,” I said while holding a moan and pulling away from me.
“Torak,” I almost shouted at him and looked around to see no one was looking at us, and I sighed in relief when I saw no one had heard us. all thanks to the loud music at the party.
“Torak,” I shouted at him and pushed him away while panting heavily.
“What happens? Why did you push me away from you? Did you don’t want me anymore?” he asks looking hurt, and I feel my heartache seeing him like this.
“It’s not what you think, I stop you because I don’t want anyone to see us like this at the party or hear us moaning and grunting during the party. Would you be okay with someone else seeing me naked and you ravishing my body?” I ask while smirking at him to cheer him up.
“Mine,” he said with a low growl and kissed me again passionately.
“Exactly, yours, then let’s go to my room to continue our deed,” I said between the kisses, he nodded his head at me and let me go. I hold his hand and am about to walk towards my room when I hear a loud explosion outside the pack house. We look at each other and walk to the living room to see what happens, to see everyone looking startled.
“What happened, Cole?” Nikki asks Cole, looking worried.
“The vampires, Rogues, and dark witches have attacked us,” Cole said to her.
“Shit, get the kids, women, and those who can not fight with us to the safe house,” Dad orders the few warriors inside the packhouse, and they follow it.
“You should go with them too,” Torak said to me.
“No, I am going to fight beside you,” I protest against him.
“No, you won’t, I don’t want to lose you, have just found you, Stella”
he said while holding my face in his hand and looking worriedly at me.
“I know, but I can look after myself Torak, after all, I am a warrior and the daughter of an Alpha too,” I said smiling reassuringly at him.
“Fine, but don’t leave my side okay?” he asks, and I nod my head at him.
“Those who can fight, please follow me,” Cole shouted loudly at us and walked out of the pack-house, with us following after him.
