How To Kill a Cheating Mate

Chapter 6. Surprise! (Part Two)

CHAPTER SIX

Janelle's POV

We exited the Conference Room in silence. I think Giovanni's mind is processing everything he had heard back there. We weren't really a normal couple who talks about how our day went on, so he doesn't know a thing about how my day has been. And I think it is a shock for him that our pack mates know me more than he does. He barely knows anything about me. However, being the stalker that I am, I know his daily routine. I know if he's had a rough day or a good one. And I know everything about him. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

Looking forward, I realized where we were headed, but I still asked him, "Where are we going?"

"To our bedroom." he whispers, looking straight ahead and not even sparing me a glance.

I just walked with him, wondering what are we going to do in our bedroom.

Maybe this is the moment where he will give us a birthday sex! my wolf exclaimed in my head.

I blushed. Shut up Isabelle! You're so horny!

I'm not! she said.

I blocked her out, because I don't want to deal with her right now. I just want to enjoy this day.

When we reached the door to our bedroom, Giovanni gently opens it and gestured for me to come inside first. So I did.

I walked inside and was shocked to see that our bedroom was full of gifts; gifts from our packmates. My eyes started to water again. Gosh, I'm such a baby...

I walk over to it, and instantly spotted the drawing that John showed me. I smiled as I picked it up. I would have to buy a frame and put it there.

"Do you want to open them now?" Giovanni asked behind me.

There are lots of gifts from the pack, but I can't really see them because they were securely wrapped. I desperately want to open them now, but I know that I have enough time later. Right now, I have to pay attention to my poor stomach because I'm starving.

"No, maybe later. I want to eat because my stomach is already complaining. Besides," I paused, turning my head to look at the clock. It read 5:47 pm. "it's really late for lunch, and I haven't had breakfast." I also didn't get to eat dinner last night because I was distracted since you praised me and kissed me!

"Alright." he said. Then he turned to walk out the door, but when he reached the door knob with his hands, he suddenly froze.

He looked at me over his shoulder with a mischievious glint in his eyes.

I warily narrowed my eyes at him. Then, in a blink of an eye, he was in front of me. Placing his hands behind my knees and at my back, he carried me bridal style.

"Giovanni! W-what are you doing?" I shrieked.

"Carrying you." he said nonchalantly.

"I know that! I meant why?" I asked.

"I just feel like it." he said, shrugging.

"Put me down!" I shouted, struggling to get out of his arms eventhough I know that I would never win because he's stronger than me.

I don't really like this position. Firstly, it was because I am wearing a dress, and it was so short! My panties might be seen! Secondly, I'm not used to being carried like a princess. I haven't been in this position since I was six, when my dad would carry me around because I was too lazy to walk. And lastly, I don't like this position because it was Giovanni carrying me, and the tingles that I get were so addictive. And I don't like that because I might lose control..

"Now, why should I put you down?" he whispers in my ear, causing me to shiver.

"B-because." I stuttered, blushing at my stupidity.

"Because what?" he prompted.

"Just because!" I said firmly, squirming even harder.

He chuckled. "Quit it mate. You're just wasting your time and energy."

I scoffed and stopped struggling, because I know that he was right. Whatever!

He smirked, knowing that he won.

He really is confusing. Why is acting he like this? He's acting like he should have done this three years ago. Is it because he's trying to make it up to me? Or is it just because it's my birthday today?

I think it's the latter...

Whatever. As Isabelle had said, enjoy it while it lasts...

But what if I got hurt because of enjoying this today? It would definitely hurt me tomorrow morning, because I know that he would be back to ignoring me again...

I sighed. I should really just stop thinking and enjoy my day.

I didn't even noticed that we reached the back door of the pack house until Gio reached the handle.

"You can put me down now." I whispered.

He ignored me and opened the door.

"SURPRISE!"

I turned my head to see all of my pack mates standing at the backyard. Some of the kids were holding balloons with different colors (white, blue, green, yellow, pink, and my favorite color red), while the teenagers were holding party poppers. There was a large banner being held by Marco and Lucas (the third in command) saying 'HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY LUNA JANELLE SALVADOR'. Some of the adults were taking pictures of Gio and I, some were arranging the food at the table. And the view was breathtaking, because the sun is almost setting.

As you can tell, right at this very moment, I'm completely overwhelmed and speechless. I don't know what to say. My past birthdays in this pack weren't like this. We were just having a barbeque party, that's all. But this... It's just too much, way too much, but I love it.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUNA!" they all yelled simultaneously.

I was crying. Tears of happiness were flooding my eyes... Again. It's a great feeling for a werewolf to be accepted by his/her packmates especially if they are treating him/her like this, like he/she was really special. For the first time in my almost four years of living in this pack, I feel like I truly belong here. It's not that I didn't feel like that before, I don't feel out of place, but it's just really different this time, because this time, my mate is included in the celebration. He is included in my belongingness.

Speaking of my mate, he gently put me down and smiled at me. I can't help but smile back at him.

"Happy birthday mate." he said and kissed my forehead.

I'm so happy right now.

I know that this is just temporary, because after such great happiness, comes an extreme sadness... but I just want to enjoy it.

Of course I didn't care at the moment. I didn't care about the future. I just cared about what today is offering. I can deal with the future some other time... Or so I thought.

I pushed my thoughts to the back of my mind and hugged Giovanni tightly and said "I love you."
