Birthday Surprises

(Magic Mike 👆)

Riley's POV

"- birthday dear Riley, happy birthday to you!" I'm rudely awakened by god awfle singing.

I shove a pillow over my face with a groan. "Go away!" My order is sadly muffled by the pillow.

The fluffy cloud is ripped out of my grasp and I'm pulled to sit up by large, strong hands. I squint my eyes, trying to see who are the inconsiderate, tone deaf idiots in my room. I finally realise it's Ash, Noah, Rachel, Brandon, James, Ryan, Jayden and Abie, Ash's girlfriend/mate.

"What do you want?" I grumble.

"It's your birthday, you idiot. We're here to par-tay!" Ryan exclaims, singing the last part.

"Let me sleep." I throw myself back onto the bed, covering my eyes with my arm.

I hear mumbles and shuffles and then the door close. I sigh in relief, rolling over and snugalling into the blankets.

I feel the bed dip behind me, then an arm snake around my waist and a head nuzzle into the crook of my neck. I instantly recognise the tingles that my mate sends through my body.

"What's wrong?" He mumbles into my neck.

"I'm just tired." I grumble, leaning into his strong chest.

"You've been tired a lot resantaly." He comments, pulling me closer to him.

"I know," I yawn. "Maybe it's my wolf?" I close my eyes, yawning once again.

"Maybe, but you've been sick too. Your wolf wouldn't hurt you." He points out, kissing my neck.

"Mmm," I reply. "Wake me in an hour."

"Ok, princess."

"Love you." I whisper.

"I love yo-"

"Can I please look now?" I ask for the fifth time since Noah managed to shuffle me out of my room, still in my pyjamas.

"Nope." He breaths against my earlobe, popping the P.

"Where are you taking me?"

"I don't know? Maybe the grand canyon? How about Mount Everest?" He mocks.

"Noooaaahhh..." I whine.

"Rilllleeeeyyyyy..." He mocks once again.

"I hate you." I pout, crossing my arms over my chest as he guides me from behind.

"I love you too." He replies, amusement evident in his tone.

"Can I ask you something?" I wonder.

"Shoot." He kisses my mark, making me moan slightly.

"Why are you never in school? I know Izzy is, so why aren't you?"

"The perks of a supernatural high school." He chuckles. "When werewolves find their mates they stay focused solely on them for about a month or two. The school basically gives us time off to spend with you so long as we take our classes online." He explains.

"Ok, we're here." He says after a while. He removes the blindfold from over my eyes before telling me to open them.

I slowly peal open my eyes, blinking profusely at the light that blindes me. What I see in front of me makes me want to scream and clap and jump with joy; but if I did that then they'd probably get spooked and go into attack mode. . . not a good idea.
