SW NOVELS
LEXI: Happy Birthday????
And really its been quiet, too quiet. We have learned a few things though. Our aunt and her coven confirmed our witch's name and the fact she was still alive. They've kept track of her for centuries but recently they lost her. That fact shook us all.
They explained Miama was born a dark witch. She was cast out of her coven for killing their matriarch using blood magic. The forbidden magic. They confirmed the rumors she was working for the Alpha King. And her track record was nothing short of disgusting.
So where we are now. One question is she working with Telth? Not one of us has had a proper sleep. Constantly keeping eyes on the children in different rotations. All four of them now share a room. For their safety and our peace of mind. They absolutely love it though. Clover and Sage may be older but they choose the twins over any pack pups
The constantly patrol means less time with Ilad. Which just leaves me more worried knowing she was exposed. I can't link her to check in because she'll be distracted. And I hate the fact Katie is now on her rotation. She is always feigning helpless but only accepts Ilad's help. Sinead apologized prior to the new shifts but needed his strongest warriors. He also told her one report or slip up she'd be banished.
The twins are keeping Ana and I busy during the day. There's always a tree to climb. Or a pretend dragon to slay. I love that they feel so safe and happy. Especially with all this tension within the pack. Both spoken and unspoken.
I can't shake the feeling something isn't right. Why did Miama go from trying to kill me and kidnapping the kids. To radio silence.

The blinding light from the sun wakes me up and I growl blindly. My eyes squeezed shut. "Whyyyy! That was such a good dream." I whine and throw my legs in a tantrum. My eyes finally adjust and I find five sets of eyes staring at me. Well hello creepy eyes.
Two blue sets, two brown sets and a pair of bright green eyes. Those ones seems to have mischief in them. Glittering with excitement. The goofy smile on my best friends face is ear splitting. And I squint my eyes at her. What are you up to woman.
"Ay! You big one. Whats the meaning of this." I try to remain grumpy but the kids giggling breaks my facade. I look from each of their faces and can't help smiling. I lift an eyebrow in question. What are they up to. "Happy Birthday!" They all yell and the pups jump on me. I begin tickling them in turns and soon my arms grow tired.
"Ok you four off you go. Let's give her time to get herself together." Ana says and starts pulling them away from me. They all fake growl and run laughing from my suite. As they leave I smile and look at my best friend. "Happy Birthday Lex!" She jumps on the bed and wraps me in a hug. We both start laughing at her childish behavior. As our laughter dies down she sits me up.
"Here, its from Ilad. She's sorry she can't be here." She hands me a box. Inside is a necklace with a beautiful moonstone pendant. "Thank you my love. Its beautiful." I link my mate as Ana helps me put it on.
"Anything for you princess. Happy Birthday my Love." I close the link and turn back to my best friend.
"Thank you A. Best birthday ever." I hug her then go to lay back down. Wrapping my blanket securely around me. "Uhuh no ma'am. We aren't done yet. Get up! There are things to do."
With that she rips the blanket off me. Please,no...the warmth. I glare at her. Ana smiles and huffs before walking out the door. "What things A?! A!!!!" I yell. Well maybe that dream can come true after all. I mean it is my day. Birthday wish here I come. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
