Chapter 25
David's POV
'How dare she. She again ran away from me with... with that Warrior from Pearl moon pack. How she was clinging to him, did you see that'
'Have you decided to always go on wrong track?' Terek growled.
'What? you still blame me, you saw how she declined to take her role as Luna.'
'You messed up yesterday' he hissed
'No I didn't.' I was angry at him and blocked him
I went in dinning room for breakfast. my gang was busy discussing something.
"What's up" I asked.
"We are planning a birthday party" Terry said.
"Whoes birthday?" Everyone looked at me accusingly. What am I missing here. Whoes birthday it is? I looked at each one of them remembering their birthdates. Then it struck me, if they are planning a birthday party then that person is definitely not here. Who is missing I thought.
"Ah! Its Emma's birthday right." She is Alberta's mate and she is visiting her parents.
"No its not my mates birthday but yours." All said.
"My mate? Oh! I forgot." I laughed
Its her birthday today is it?.
They continued with their planning, I just sat there pretending to be not interested.
"What should we gift her." Mom asked
"Umm how about perfume or cosmetics." Vincent said making me scoff.
"She doesn't seem to use any cosmetics" Jessica said
"Ok then maybe a birthday dress?" Terry suggested. Here they planning a party for their future Luna, whereas she declined being their Luna.
"Ya it seems a perfect gift and we will buy some accessories and footwear to go along with it. She can wear them in party today." Mom said.
"Lets go shopping, come David." Mom added
"I have some work, you all go" I was not interested.
"No ways, who will pay for gifts" Vincent said.
We went to mall to buy the stuff, while they were busy shopping, I went and bought my gift for her too. This will be fun.
We went straight to her room and knock on the door. When she opened the door, I had difficult time to get my eyes off her. She had gone for run and was wet from the rain, water droplets enveloping her body. My eyes wandered on her neck, it was bare, inviting me to sink my canines in that soft skin.
She looked baffled with all of us at her door. She avoided looking at me and I did the same. Everyone gave her gifts which she accepted after much insistence from them.
She was talking so politely with mom and everybody. What is her problem with ME??
"David you wanted to give her something special right, so...will leave you guys alone. Come on everyone lets get out." Mom said nugging my shoulders.
All of them went out making lots of noise, cheering and whistling at us. When they left, I went closer to her, inhaling her scent.
I gave her a big gift box, She took it reluctantly and thanked me.
"Won't you open it" I said.
"Umm...ok"
She opened the box and got stiff looking at its contents. I saw her face turning red, as she kept staring at what was inside the gift box.
I went close to her and whispered in her ears.
"We will be needing it, Happy Birthday Luna."
She didn't even look at me but I could feel the anger flowing through her veins.
I wanted to laugh rolling on floor, clenching my stomach. But that will be too much. So I turned around and left.

Mia's Pov.
When he asked me to open his gift, his eyes glistered with mischief and amusement, an evil smirk playing on his face. I didn't wanted to see what was in there, but I opened it nevertheless.
'How dare he, HOW DARE HE.'
What was inside made me stiff, he came close and whispered in my ears, giving me goosebumps.
"We will be needing it, Happy Birthday Luna."
I didn't look at him, I was having hard time to control my anger, which wanted to explode.
He left after that and I Ithrew his gift in dustbin and clenched my head, which was throbbing by now.
He had gifted me a box full of... of....Ugh!... He want to party right? I will make sure, He will remember this party for rest of his life.

David's POV
When I came out of her room, I could not control my laughter. I laughed remembering her cherry face, those brown eyes open wide with shock, her plump lips pressed together in thin line, her...her neck..slender and smooth...her...her chest moving up and down...up.....down...up..I was hyperventing by now, this mate bond are definitely strong because I could feel the pull. Didn't it affected her? movements in front of me made me look up.
There he stood with confused expression, his eyes boring in to me. He had a gift box in his hands. What was there in it. I straightened myself and moved away. I heard him go inside Mia's room. I made my way to her door to listen to their conversation.
"Jace?' Came her voice.
"What was he doing here." So they are talking about me.
"He came to give me gift."
"What did he gift you? He was having a good laugh outside your door."
"That jerk..." Excuse me, did she call me jerk.
"He gifted you condoms! He really is nasty." I smirked at that.
"Forget him, others were here too, they are having party for me tonight and will introduce me as future Luna to whole pack"
"Why are you here?"
"I forgot to give you your gift."
Silence
"You don't have to Jace its so expensive, I don't need this really."
"It's from Victor"
Silence again, what he meant by that.
"Its from your godson, you have to take it."
"Hey, why are you crying, come here." That made my blood boil, is he touching my mate? doesn't he have his own?2
"What I am gonna do Jace I don't know."
"Everything will be alright little sis you have us and you should start with the therapy Doctor Sonia was talking about." Little sis, he considers her as sister and what therapy are they taking about?.
I went down to see preperation in full swing. Mom was running around looking at all details herself. When she spot me, she came towards me and started explaining all the details.
"David, there you are, I have ordered a three tier vanilla cake, we will put a long table over there and make a canopy over it with drapes and flowers. Do you have any idea what kind of food she prefers? I was thinking of putting lanterns over the trees or should we put fairy lights..
"Mom, mom stop take a breath. Come sit here. I made her sit on near by chair.
"Why are you doing this for her? Why are you exhausting yourself."
"What do you mean. She is the one who will make my boy happy and take care of his needs. she will be taking care of this pack. She is Luna and she must be treated like one."
I huffed, if only she knew, I looked at mom, she was a kind lady full of love, she was tall and slim but radiated strength I and Vincent got our eyes from her, just here's were filled with love and adore for everyone. I will kill anyone who would hurt her.
Soon party was on, whole place glittered with warm light and flowers, food was smelling awesome, the pack members were gathered and were chatting, eagerly waiting for their Luna, word had spread among all. It was already eight in the night and your highness had not graced us with her presence. I was looking again and again at entrance.
"Getting impatient for your mate?" Jessica teased me. We were standing near the birthday cake drinking wine.
"No ways"
"What did you gift her?" Terry asked
"Why should I tell you"
"Come on man I tell you everything"
I whispered in his ears what I had gifted her. His eyes went wide with shock. Jessica squinted her eyes at us.
"What? Why would you do that, you know how things are with her and still..."
"David can you go and get her? Its getting late"
"Mom tell Vincent."
Mom went towards him, Vincent was hanging with his friends and was not ready to go but had to give in. I saw him go towards the pack house. After some time he came running towards mom, dad joined them and they looked tensed.
What's wrong over there. We too went there.
"What happened?" I asked
"She is not in her room" Vincent said with panic
"WHAT?" I and Jessica asked together.
"All the gifts we gave her, are on bed, did you gift her.." Vincenr looked at me
"Shut up Vincent, she must be somewhere in pack house. Search her."
"She is nowhere I searched everywhere."
Mom was distressed, she had this defeated look on her face. The whole pack had gathered around us spreading silence.
I threw the glass of wine, which shattered, breaking that eerie silence. she is getting on my nerves now. I went towards that Pearl moon pack Warrior
"Where is she?" I asked holding his neck.
"Who?" He asked terrified.
"Your little sister' I said sarcastically,
"We don't know" his mate responded for him.
I grabbed his neck harder, choking him, I swear I could kill today. He was turning red and was dangling above the ground. His human mate made futile attempts to free her mate.
"Leave him David" dad boomed.
I let him fall on the ground coughing badly.
"I swear on my pup, I don't know where she is." He said panting.
Unfortunately he was telling the truth.
She will pay for this.

Mia's Pov
I was lying on most comfortable bed, trying to sleep with my mates shirt wrapped around me.
All of sudden there was pain in my body. what started with uncomfortable feeling had now turned into excruciating pain, which I never knew existed. I screamed in pillow to avoid waking others.
What is happening? I thought
"Mate is with someone else." Aya said sadly.
I was shuddering with pain and it stopped suddenly.
