The Prophecy

Chapter Seven - Birthday loving

Hey guys, hope all of you are having a great week so far. Mine has been hectic, but hopefully it will even out soon. This also won't be a very long chapter as I have some personal issues that I am dealing with at the moment, so please don't shoot me.

It's been a chaotic week for the brothers and their Mates as they had so much to do and to deal with. First, there was Belladonna and the constant threat of war looming over all their heads, then there was training for the triplets with their powers as well as physical training for all six of them.

And on top of that there was Matthew. It was his birthday tomorrow and currently the entire pack was trying to get everything done in time for the celebration tonight. There was also the whole Mate issue happening at midnight, even though Matthew was convinced that his Mate would reject him, because he was no longer pure.

Matthew had tried to fight against the party, but the triplets were far more stubborn than he could ever hope to be and Peyton was convinced that Matthew's Mate will not only love him on sight, but would do everything in his power to make sure the man felt loved at all times. Yes, Peyton was sure that Matthew will have a male Mate and he also had a feeling that his Mate is going to be extremely dominant.

So here they all were, trying to put up the last finishing touches to tonight's party and making sure everything is as it should be. Matthew was currently inside, getting ready for tonight, but dreading the outcome. He wishes he had Peyton's faith that everything will work out for the best, but he just didn't feel it. He has been having severe nightmares since the incident and he had panic attacks, although only Peyton knew about those. He was the future Beta for fucks sake, he needed to man up and fast.

There was a knock on the door as he pulled his shirt on so he went to open it. "Hey Matt, you need to hurry, it's almost time to get your sexy ass out there to party and in a few hours you will get to meet your Mate." Peyton squealed excitedly, causing Matthew to cover his ears and grimace at the loud, high pitch.

"Damn Peyton, your voice should come with a fucking warning" Matthew grumbled out. Peyton just gave Matthew a don't fuck with me look, before shoving the birthday boy back into his room and closing the door. "What did I tell you about cussing when talking to me? I might be a lot smaller than you, but I can still smack you hard enough to make your ears ring for the foreseeable future." Peyton snapped back. "Now button up that shirt and get your cute behind out there and start mingling." He added.

Matthew knew it was pointless to argue with the tiny, but fiery Omega so he did as he was told. Just as they got to the door, Peyton stopped Matthew and put his hand on his cheek, gently cupping his face, "Remember what I told you, you are beautiful and your Mate will love you for who you are. What happened wasn't your fault babes, and your Mate won't hold it against you. Please trust me on this." Peyton pleaded softly.

Matthew looked at the small man in front of him and nodded, "I'll try my best Pey. Thank you for being there for me, I can never thank you enough for your endless patience and support. Marcus is indeed a very lucky man." Matthew said, leaning over and gently placing a kiss on the Omega's forehead.

Peyton smiled up at his friend and gave him a hug, "I will always be there for you Matt, never doubt that or forget it." He whispered in the Beta's ear. Peyton pulled back and suddenly there was a huge grin on his face, Well let's go hunny, we got to get you a man." He exclaimed playfully, pulling Matthew behind him, out the room and down the stairs to the back yard.

There were a lot of people there already and Matthew looked around to see if he could maybe figure out who his possible Mate was. He saw several girls looking at him, batting their eyes at him flirtatiously, and he wondered if it could possibly be one of them. Then his eyes landed on someone standing on the opposite side to him and his heart picked up speed, dear god, please not him. Anyone but him.
