Hell High • Book Two

• Chapter Nineteen •

The week had flown by fairly quickly and during that time, Leah had finally moved into Raphael's place. At the same time, Raphael had insisted on inviting her family and Breana over for dinner, which she really couldn't say no to.

Lucifer had also decided to stop by, immediately angering the werewolf. As it turned out, the Dark Lord wanted the power that Leah was going to receive on her 18th birthday, ending up in a small argument between the couple which they had quickly resolved.

Saturday quickly rolled around and Salem lept onto the bed and licked Leah's face, waking the now 18 year old witch up. She giggled softly, opening her eyes. "Thanks, Salem." She said and sat up while the cat had jumped onto the floor.

She pulled her hair loose and ran a hand through it before she retied it. As she got up from the bed, she heard Raphael begin to stir. Sh turned around to find him moving his hand around, feeling for her.

"I'm here, baby." She said softly.

He opened his eyes and let out a soft yawn. "What time is it?" He asked, his voice still quite heavy with sleep.

"It's around eight." She replied.

"Crap!" He exclaimed and quickly jumped up. He threw on his wife beater and ran downstairs leaving Leah standing in their room in confusion.

It wasn't until she heard loud clattering that she made her way downstairs. "Babe?" She called softly as she entered the kitchen, making her way over to him.

The Alpha let out a frustrated sigh and ran a hand through his dark hair. " I wanted to make you breakfast in bed but I overslept." He said. "Stupido!" He began muttering to himself in his native tongue.

The witch smiled softly as she cupped his face between her hands. "It's fine." She said.

"It's your birthday.." He responded softly.

She began stroking his cheek lightly. "I thought you forgot." She said.

"Forgot?" He repeated. "How could I forget the day that my Luna was born?" He asked.

She leaned up and lightly pecked his lips. "How about we go to the diner for breakfast?" She asked with a smile.

"Would that make you happy?" He asked.

"Honey," She let out a soft giggle. "Being with you makes me happy." She said and took hold of his hand as a smirk made it's way onto her lips. "The water is hot." She whispered suggestively.

"Before we do.." He said and pulled her flush up against his body and kissed her, trailing his hands down her sides and resting them on her hips. He pulled away slighltly and gently pecked her lips with a smile. "Happy birthday, babygirl." He whispered.

"Thank you." She replied with a sweet smile. "I can feel the wrinkles already."

"Wrinkles?" Raphael scoffed. "You look as stunning as ever." He said as he moved his hands down to her butt, giving it a firm but gentle squeeze. "And all mine."

Leah giggled, tugging her bottom lip between her teeth as she stared up at him. "Let's go and take that shower." She said and led him upstairs.
