Chapter 61 Alessia’s POV 181% 11:35 Today is Lucy’s birthday and she’s clocking the big eight. She has been sk i p pi n g all over the house since morning as her decorations were being set up. She is excited and determined to let the whole pack know of it. She chatters it out to everyone who is willing to hear it. By the time the decorations are done, she looks exhausted and ready to fall onto her face. Must have been all the screaming she did. With all of us siting at the dining table with candles and balloons around the room, we sing her a birthday song. She’s grinning and giggling, her eyes shining as they go around the room, taking in everyone that’s here for her. Her energy pipes back up when it’s time for her to blow out the candles on her cake. A cake that is later shared around the table. Since today is his sister’s birthday, Caden gave me the day off. He also told me to enjoy it because this is going to be one of the few times that I’ll be allowed to laze about. Taking his advice, I walk into the main room and scout out for any activities that I can join. Ever since Caden’s speech, no one has approached me again and I’ve finally ended my days of hiding in my room. I find Jake seated on a couch with a game control in his hand, biting his lips as he anxiously tries to kill his opponent. The screen shows that the game is over and he slumps into his seat, pouting with his bottom lip jolting out. I chuckle and his head whips in my direction.

He playfully glares at me and makes a come here motion with his hand. I point into the kitchen as a way of saying I need to get something from there first. He nods, turning back to the game that was just reset. Fifty bucks say he’s going to lose this round again.

Laughing under my breath, I head into the kitchen, stalling in my steps as I see Caden and Lucy seated at the countertop. 3 “What do you want to do for your birthday?” Caden asks Lucy whose entice attention is focused on the cake on her plate. “I’m free today. I can spend the whole day with you doing whatever you want.” That gets her attention away from hier cake and she turns to him, moving her face into my line of view. I hold in a laugh at the icing smeared all over her face. “Really?” She asks with wide eyes. “You’re going to spend the whole day with me?” “Yes.” Caden reaches for the icing stuck to her cheek with s smile that goes straight to my head.

Shaking myself, I continue moving into the kitchen and force myself to walk past them to the cupboard. Shoving down the embarrassment trying to make its way up, I grab a stool and climb onto it to reach for the cupboard. I just pray that the other two occupants in the room are too focused on their conversation to notice me making a fool of myself. “So what do you want to do?” Caden echoes his earlier question. “Uhmm…” A pause when she hums out loud. “I want to go shopping for princess dresses,” she squeals. I grab my Doritos that’s buried deep inside the cupboard for some reason and close it, ready to attempt to come down from the stool. “I also want Alessia to come with us.” That’s what does it. I’m falling before I can help it and I close my eyes, waiting for the impact with the hard ground and wondering why I keep finding myself in these situations. The pain doesn’t come. Peeling open one eye first, I find two blue orbs looking at me in amusement. I quickly peel the other eye open and jump out of Caden’s hold, trying to hide the pink in my cheeks. I succeeded in making

today the most embarrassing day of my life. you “Are you alright?” Caden asks, still maintaining the amusement in his eyes. “You gave us both a scare.” I look behind him to find Lucy staring at us with her brows furrowed. I give her a soft smile to ease her worries before turning back to Caden who still has that dam n amusement sparkling in his eyes. “Thank you,” I mutter, looking down to the ground. “You can thank me by accompanying Lucy on her shopping spree.” My head whips up at his words. “I don’t think I should join you guys. I don’t want to intrude.” I scan my mind for any brilliant excuse I can use. It wouldn’t be wise to be in a closed space with Caden. Especially knowing what always happens next. Lucy will be right beside us the whole time so for my sanity and peace. of mind, I’m choosing to keep my distance… “You won’t be intruding. She requested for your presence.” He looks back at Lucy who has her focus back. on her plate of cake. “She likes you,” he whispers. “It’s her birthday and I want her to be happy so…please. join us.” I barely stop my mouth from dropping open. Caden just pleaded with me? The surprise must be clearly written on my face because Caden rolls his eyes and clears his throat. “Are you coming with us or not.” He crosses his arms over his chest, drawing my gaze down to his bulky muscles. I would love to run my tongue down those arms. Another clearing of his throat pulls my gaze back up to his face. He’s smirking at me, clearing aware gh dd MMMB B B BBB M Chapter 61 where my thoughts went to. Then he arches a brow. “So, what do you say?” I guess I’m accompanying my mate’s sister on her shopping spree. Yay!Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
