Chapter 147


    All the high-ranking couples, along with Amelia, Dr. Sands and Demi are all sitting on the back deck


    with Den and I while we eat cake and ice cream. To my surprise, the kitchen staff made enough


    cupcakes to feed the whole pack if they wished to stop by and greet their Luna on her birthday. Even


    though we will be celebrating in a week, most of my pack dide to wish me a happy birthday and it


    warms my heart to know that they still believe in me even though I am the Dire wolf.

    The group has just finished singing a h*rrendous rendition of the birthday song to me and are now


    urging me to blow out my twenty candles. For some reason, though, the candles keep relighting


    themselves, so I extend a w and swipe it across all the candle tops, cutting them clean off, before


    smirking at my best friend. She thinks I don’t know that it was her wise a*s idea to add these annoying


    candles.


    “Hey, what fun is that?” Cici stands with her hands on her hips, pouting.


    “You should know better than try something like that to me. I’m too impatient for childish antics.” I


    shrug.


    She stomps her foot and crosses her arms in front of her chest as she huffs, “I’m not childish!”


    Everybody looks at each other before bursting out withughter at Cici’s little show. Oh, how I love


    having her in my life, she’s always making things interesting to say the least. What would I have done


    had I not had Cici to bring me out of my mncholy slump after losing my family and my pack?


    (FLASHBACK)


    I don’t want to join the rest of the world. What’s the point when I no longer have anybody! My family is


    gone, all my friends are gone…everyone…just gone! Why is this happening to me, Goddess? Why


    couldn’t they have just killed me too, instead of leaving me all alone in the world? I know Alpha Den


    is nice enough to offer me a home and the protection of his pack, but it isn’t the same… it will never be


    the same!


    These are my thoughts as I hide away in a new room that they say is mine. They have me in the Luna


    quarters, but should I really be here? I’m an orphan now…I should be in with the other pack. members


    and helping the omegas with the cleaning of the pack. house. I’d say I could help the kitchen staff, but I


    doubt anybody would want me cooking their food; I’ve never learned how to cook. I was always too


    busy with my friends and never wanted to learn. the menial job skills. Okay, I’ve been a spoiled little


    brat who was doted on by her Alpha father, I can at least admit to that.


    A knock sounds at the door, but I ignore it. It isn’t mealtime yet, so there is no reason to bother me. The


    knock sounds again, “Hello in there! I’vee bearing gifts for a Miss Quinn Night.”


    Now that someone has actually talked to me, I can’t be rude, “Thank you for the kind gesture, but I


    cannot ept.” I call out and hope that it’s the end of it, but that isn’t to be.


    Instead, a frustrated huffes from the other side of the door, “It took me a long time to gather all of


    this together just for you, the least you can do ise and look at what I have!”


    Now the-she-wolf is just getting annoying, so I roll my eyes ande out from under the covers where


    I have been burrowing for thest couple of days. I’m sure I’m a fright to look at but that’s what she will


    get for disturbing my misery.


    I swing the door open and there stands a short and petite pretty she-wolf with sandy-blonde hair and


    big brown eyes. In her arms. she carries a heaping load of clothes that looks like it may swallow. her up


    any moment. I can’t help the giggle that escapes at the way the young girl looks, she may look worse


    than me!


    “I’m so d you’re finding this amusing, Miss Quinn! May Ie ir and unload all of this? I can barely


    feel my arms!”


    “Yes, just toss them on the bed for now.” I instruct.


    “Pfft, why, so you can crawl underneath them and hide away from everybody? I don’t think so! I will


    help you fold and put them away or hang them in the closet.” She still tosses them on the bed but then


    begins folding those that will go into dressers, “Alpha did bring some of your own clothes, but they


    smell like smoke, horribly, so he’s having them washed. If the smell doesn’te out, then he will take


    you shopping for a new wardrobe. These are just on lend from a few of the she-wolves amongst out


    pack.


    “That was thoughtful of all of you, thank you.” I say in a soft voice.


    She stops what she’s doing and stares at me in disbelief, “Girl, have you seen me? Why would I waste


    my time going through my things when I know perfectly well that you wouldn’t fit in anything. Not unless


    you like high waters, but everybody knows that they will never be in fashion!” She continues folding the


    clothes, “Come on now, I’m the Beta’s sister not your maid! If I’m going to be folding these clothes, so


    are you!”


    I knew right then that I liked the loudmouthed she-wolf and that we will be great friends, if I can ever get


    myself to leave this room, “What’s your name?” I ask the feisty girl.


    “Cici Stone, and you are Quinn Night. There, now we know each other, so help me out here, so we can


    go grab a smoothie or


    something while I show you around.” For the first time in days, a smile appears on my face, and I begin


    to look forward to seeing the town with a new friend.


    (END FLASHBACK)


    Staring at my friend, I smile when she looks my way, and we share a silent moment between us. She


    has been there through thick and thin and then some, and I will always cherish her friendship no matter


    how annoying or childish she may be.


    Each and every person at this table means something to me. The only one that I don’t know on a


    deeper level is my G*mma female, Veronika. I need to make time to get to know her better, because


    after all, she is supposed to protect me if the need ever arises. How can I expect her to have my back if


    I barely know her? I even know Dr. Sands a little more than I know Veronika.


    Den pulls me from my thoughts as hees up beside me and hollers for everyone’s attention.


    Once everyone goes quiet, he lifts his beer bottle, “First of all, I would like to toast to my beautiful


    mate!” He turns towards me, smiling, “I am so proud of the way you have handled yourself over thest


    few weeks, and especially once you found out that you are the legendary Dire wolf. I’ve never met


    anyone stronger than you. Quinn, and I think I speak for everyone here,” everybody nods in agreement,


    “you are a friend to all, and you lead with a genuine heart. I know you have been through hell and back,


    but I am hoping that all of that is behind you, because I will do my best to make sure that you do.” He


    raises his bottle, “To Quinn, my mate, your friend, our Luna, and our Queen!”


    Everyone raises their bottle or ss, “To Quinn!”


    “Thank you so much everyone! You all mean so much to me!” I have to dab at my eyes a little bit, but


    when I’m done and turn back


    Dividing into pages now


    to Den, he is down on one knee, holding up a square little box.


    “Happy Birthday little mate!”


    I really hope you enjoyed this chapter and Quinn going down memoryne. Let me know your


    thoughts! =)
