The cool warming winds which blew through the beautiful garden added another sensational feeling to Luke while he gulped down large quantity of the wine in his glass down his throat.



"You know I can do anything you want me to do, right?", Luke spoke reassuringly.



Richard knew for sure that Luke was capable of moving the heavens and the earth just go his sake.



Luke had more than enough reasons to serve the alpha wolf, and if he wanted to do so, he wood do it with the whole of his heart, no form of doubts raised.



However, he could only do all this things without doubt trusting the decisions of Alpha Richard.



Richard was good at making good decisions, at first some may seem very risky, but in all, at the end, the outcome would be worth celebrating.



"Are you sure?", Richard asked him again.



"Just to be clear, it's not a hard task, it's a simple one. A very simple one", Richard said again.



This time he assured him that it wasn't going to be tough as the other tasks he usually gave him



"In what way can I help you Alpha Richard?", He asked again wholeheartedly.



He wasn't scared one bit, all he needed was just the instructions and the time to carry out the orders and then he was done



There wouldn't be anything that would seem very impossible for him to do for the alpha wolf.



If Richard could save his life, and then teach him the basics of defense, then he would do anything he asked.



"I need your help in planning a party", Richard said with his deep bass voice breaking the utmost silence between them.



The silence, it returned, this time being very cold and dead.



Luke held a piece of food in his fork, and was about to put it in his mouth when he heard those words from Alpha Richard, "I need your help in planning a party".



His mouth still wide open, the fork still in his hands but still stuck in mid air, his gaze moving slowly from the fork in his hands, to the food served in the plate which laid before him, to the admirable bright table linens which were easy on the eyes, and then to Alpha Richard who sat there calmly.



Richard was calm, very calm, it wasn't something too strange, if he wanted to throw a party, he could do so that very minute.



He was rich enough to provide enough drinks, capable to reach hundreds, and ten thousand of people.



The food was not a problem, he could quickly summon Agatha who in turn would summon the other maids and they would hurriedly make up some magical delicacies to feed the guest bountifully to their satisfaction.



The music was not a big deal, hiring dancers and entertainers was easy, easier than falling off a log.



Considering all these things, a party could even hold in the next thirty minutes but not so for this one.



His wife had specifically used the words "a big party".



He wasn't throwing the party for the sake of partying sake or on the terms of merriment, but to celebrate his sons.



The some which the moon goddess had given him, he was going to celebrate them in front of thousands of people, he was going to declare Bryan, his first born, as the alpha of the pack after him.



But since it was going to be an elaborate party, he thought of taking his time to plan this one to be the biggest ever.



Richard sat down there on the table, slowly taking in little pieces of the meal, bit by bit, sipping his tea carefully and majestically while Luke sat there staring at him in knowledge of what was really happening.



Luke burst into a very annoying laugh, his deep voice resounding through the garden



The laughter started in a low tone and slowly, but then it became locomotive, sounding loudly and faster than the initial beginning, sounding like a hyena.



"Oh! You're funny" Luke said as he finally put the hanging fork in his mouth and still muttering laughter with food in his mouth.



There was scorn written on Richard's face. His face became tighter and fiercer, clenching both his jaws and his hands which held the table knife, he felt a bit insulted with Luke's laughter.



"Do I look like I'm joking to you?", Richard's deep voice spoke in the midst of the laughter surrounding Luke



Richard's deep voice struck Luke. He stopped laughing immediately and his smiley happy face died down and his facial appearance switched to normal as he asked, "You're serious, aren't you?"



A party? When was the last time Richard had time for merriment and celebrations?



He never even celebrated the past victories they had against very tough and cruel some packs and now all of a sudden he wants to throw a party?



He thought about all these things.



He concluded within him that the day was going to be filled with surprises but this, being the most surprising of the day.



"I'm not joking man!", Richard said as he face got brighten again.



If there was one thing about their friendship, Richard could never get upset with Luke fir so long, they would reconcile faster than they ever disagreed, or probably laugh it all out.



"Oh!", Luke said out after a long deep thought. He could see that Richard was serious about having the party, but then he thought about something.



Who could have instilled in him the thought of throwing a party almost a sudden?



What could possibly be the theme of the party?



Ho would he help him set up a party, in which area was he specifically skilled in event planning?



"You know", Richard spoke up ruining Luke's train of thoughts.



He swallowed something and then he said again, "Emily suggested that I throw a party for the boys. I thought of it as a genius plan"



Oh, that was the person who told him to throw the party. Now he knew what was going on.



His love for Emily had made him consider that idea, all Luke could do was to just smile as he pondered on this thought.



"That sounds great. That's a smart one. A very smart one", Luke replied using the table knife in his hand to demonstrate what he was saying.



At some point, Luke noticed he had answered two of his questions in just a sentence, as if Richard had read his mind, telling him Emily suggested the idea to him and that the party wasn't just a regular party, but for the twins.



"So.. how do I help", Luke asked again.



He thought of ways he could help Richard throw a big stupendous party, but he couldn't think of anything.



"Security!", Richard said as he dropped the fork and knife he had in his hands on the table.



He was done eating the delicious meal he had for breakfast, and used a little linen to clean his lips again, sitting upright to explain what he needed Luke to know.



He cleared his throat and continued, "I need some men to send letters, make announcements to the entire pack, the celebration happens tomorrow by evening."
