Chapter 56
In the end, I was not able to hear his answer. Even so, I did not ask about it again as I thought that it
might be a confidential task for him due to being the Alpha of the Silver pack.
Thinking that the day would end up like that, I was proven otherwise the same evening.
When dinner time came, Carrie insisted that I go with her blindfolded.
I was utterly confused and baffled about it, but I followed her request nheless, thinking that it was
only one of her yful antics.
Going down the stairs, my feet felt the cobblestone pathway. Then a little whileter, my shoes were
already stepping onto the lush grass drape prompting me that Carrie was taking me somewhere a bit
further.
"Carrie, are we there yet?" I asked rather nervously as I could slowly feel that we werepletely
going out of the pack house.
"Almost there, Chloe… Just hold on a little bit…" Carrie answered under her yful chuckle then she
pulled me even faster.
My feet followed her incessantly until we finally stopped.
For a moment, everything is silent. Only the serene sound of the crickets invaded my ears.
"Chloe, we''re here~~" Carrie announced excitedly as she loosened the blindfold.
Bang!!!
"Happy Birthday Luna!!!"
"Happy Birthday Chloe!!!"
Suddenly a loud cheer came around as the gentle golden lights assaulted my eyes.
The next moment a bright rain of confetti fell all around me as my surroundings were filled with smiles
from everyone''s faces.
ke and Arthur, the betas and warriors training with me, even Teacher Astor was at the end of the
table raising his ss to quietly give me a toast.
“What is this…” I looked at ke who was already holding the flowers as he approached me with a
gentle smile.
Everything around me was something new… the smiles of the people, the confetti, the flowers the
greetings…
This is the first time that these things were directed to me. My brain was not even thinking straight
because of the excitement and the warm feeling that I was given.
“We wanted to surprise you, to celebrate your birthday.” ke reached out his hand and lightly brushed
my cheeks which was already a little damp without my knowledge.
If not for their surprise gesture, I would not have even remembered that it was my birthday. “How did
you know that today is my birthday?” I asked him.
“That time when we were asking for the antidote, I saw the number keyed in by Alpha Dean…” He
answered truthfully. With that a wave of realization hit me, ke also remembered the date just by
seeing it one time.
“I usually never celebrated my birthday… that is because it was also the death anniversary of my
mother.” I replied with a bittersweet smile.
ke just looked at me, with his hand still brushing my cheeks lightly,
“From today and onwards, I will celebrate your birthdays with you…”
“Happy Birthday Chloe… I am so d that you were born and that I was able meet you in this
lifetime…”
ke looked at me straight in the eyes, his gaze spoke louder than the words from his mouth.
He handed me the bouquet of freshly cut tulips… in the flowernguage it meant eternal love, which
moved my heart deeply.
“Thank you ke… ” I took the flowers with my trembling hands, my eyes could not stop looking at it
as I felt joy springing deep in my soul.
It’s the first flower bouquet I received from someone…
It was also the first time I received something during my birthday.
I looked around and saw the smiling faces of everyone.
The little bulb lights that was installed on the trees making the party ce looked so natural. The wide
array of food on the table and even the party gs that was decorated all over, giving color in the
golden surroundings.
‘So this is how it feels when someone celebrates your birthday…’ I thought to myself while I tried my
best to refrain from crying.
“C’mon Chloe! It’s time to blow the cake!” As I was feeling moved with ke’s gesture and the party
around me, Carrie woke me up from my thoughts and pulled me to receive a cake.
“I made your favorite blueberry cheesecake! Now it’s time for you to blow the candle!” Carrie excitedly
flicked the lighter on and lit up the candle sitting on top of the cake.
The next moment, every one around me pped their hands as they sing a birthday song in rhythm.
“Make a wish, Chloe!” Carrie cheered.
I smiled and looked at everyone, then I closed my eyes and sincerely wished, ‘Moon goddess… please
help me keep and cherish these people who treated me sincerely…’
“Yay!” Everyone pped and cheered as soon as I blew the candle. After that, the party finally started.
Everyone was going around with me, toasting while wishing me a happy birthday.
“Happy Birthday Luna! I wish that someday, you can finally defeat every one of your spar mates, like
how you finally defeated me!” Says one of the betas who were training with me.
Iughed heartily as I raised my wine ss and return the toast, “I really do hope so! I also wished that
I couldnd a few more punches and even knock you out in the future!”
“Wahahaha!” Everyoneughed, ate and drank merrily.
To be in the presence of the people that epted you for who you are was really an exhrating
experience.
In the end, when the party ended, my head was already aching and dizzy while my body is no longer in
the capacity to walk straight.
Fortunately, ke guided me through my room and in between were the giggles and softughs as I
kept on reminiscing the funny moments in the party.
Stumbling from my door, I hugged the flower bouquet carefully and twirled around, feeling so much
special at the moment.
Then I looked at ke’s hazy figure and smiled, pulling his arm toward me because I had the urge to
lean on his shoulders. But because of the alcohol, I was not able to keep my bnce and stumbled
backwards instead.
While my vision spun around, I heard ke’s worried voice, “Careful…”

The next moment my back touched the fluffy bed with the scattered flower petals around it. Above me
was ke’s alluring orbs starring at me intently.
I giggled while I caressed his face, mouthing the only words that could contain the strong emotions in
my heart.
“ke… thank you so much.”
ke’s body jolted, then I felt his warm hands holding onto my waist causing my mind to go on a
haywire.
“Just thank you? Hmm?” ke answered with his low maic voice.
He bent down a little bit and his breath tickled the side of my cheeks, sending me waves of shivers into
my body.
It might be the alcohol or not, but instead of shying away, I met his pair of beautiful deep midnight orbs
and wrapped my arms around his neck. Then the next second, I nted a kiss on his lips and giggled
yfully.
ke’s eyes flickered in emotions, then he said in a hoarse voice, “Chloe, you’re ying with fire…”
I looked up to him and giggled, not taking way my hands on his neck staying in such an ambiguous
position.
This time, he bent down and imed my lips passionately, leaving me out of breath.
