Rockin Birthday Bash

Rockin Birthday Bash
It has been a week since David left to deal with family matters. It has been more than a month since I have seen Callan. I knew his father would still find a way to control him. His father sent word that their pack was under attack, and he needed to come at once. Callan panicked and quickly went home.

I learned shortly after, there was no emergency. His father set the engagement preparations forward behind his back and ordered him to marry Alpha’s daughter. She apparently had been eyeing Callan for years since they were kids. Callan said he could not tolerate her; she had always had it in her mind to become Luna. I was heartbroken again, and I was not surprised. I was hurting to find out that Callan again rejected his father’s arrangements. Alpha Bryson had him beaten and thrown into the dungeon.

Through our mental connection, I felt everything he felt, I closed my eyes, and I could see him suffering. There was nothing I could do to stop it. I received word that Callan was released but not allowed to leave the pack property. Which means “no Cambridge and no coming home to me.”

I yearned for my David and cried in sorrow for Callan. I received a letter from his father, accusing me of hexing his son, and vowed we would never be together. I spoke with David on the phone as I was in tears and explained everything that was happening. ‘How can Callan keep doing this to me? Does he not love me? Why would he not stand up to his father more?

I know he stood up for me that one time however, he does not have to accept the engagement, he does not even have to stay there! He knows I want him with us, he could join David’s pack! I was so broken, David could no doubt feel my pain. He cursed Callan, saying he was a spineless man to give up his mate to follow his father's demands. 

After the long and emotional week, I was thrilled and nervous for my birthday.

Today is my birthday, when I saw who arrived, I was so thrilled to have my stepfather present. I knew with him close; I would be more relaxed.

With both my two favorite men elsewhere, I felt left alone with the wizard in my classes who was constantly watching me, seeing me, and I know it is he who has been following me home. I have half a mind to confront him but, that would not do anything except expose myself to him. It would lead him to be he has advantage, and he would feel emboldened to carry on this sham of a betrothal.

Instead, I continued to walk away, I could tell he was becoming annoyed that I paid him no mind. The events that happened the other day still plague my mind. I have been attending classes for a week now. As I walked out the door to attend a class, I felt accosted as Hank was waiting for me on the other side. Without David or Callan, I was left to face the dark wizard on my own.

The next day I found a note at my door, he was confused as to why I was ignoring him.

“It is my duty as your beloved to become acquainted with you. Why are you completely disregarding me? We have been bound together since childhood. Why are you acting as if I am nothing to you?”

~Hank.

I did not know how to respond to that so, I continued to ignore it, and today I was determined to enjoy my birthday party with my stepfather.

Hunter did the unexpected. He gave me a celebrity-style birthday. it was like a bloody carnival had been orchestrated. He even donated the university money to have a building named after me. I was so bloody upset with that one. I never wanted attention like this. The only part where I was over the moon with happiness was at my birthday party. There was food catered in from some of the finest restaurants in London. My room had been mysteriously stocked with some of the best clothes that were available in Milan, Paris, and London boutiques.

Hunter spared no expense. He hired a salon stylist to do my hair and makeup. Some of the friends who I had already become familiar with on campus were "Gretchen" and Gwenovere" who are twins and "Margaret". They received facials and salon treatment as well. We were a giggling mess; I was a bit weary of Margaret after that when she was whispering about how cool it was to be friends with a celebrity.

I am not a celebrity and started to be weary of her true reasons for being my friend. The twins were just as gob smacked as I was at the treatment. I knew we would get along well. Margaret thought I was pretending for them and assumed I had this treatment often. When I assured her that I do not, and I do not like the attention like this. In fact, I had not been living with my stepfather for the summer and I was staying with other family members who live quiet normal lives in the mountains of Scotland.

I was not sure why, but she scowled and walked away for a moment. After we were all put together, I started to hear music coming from the park near the university. When we arrived, I could not believe my eyes. Hunter had done the unthinkable and had paid for my favorite band "The Beatles" to perform a show for us. I saw him mouth "Happy Birthday Molly" I was so overflowed with happiness.

I ran towards the stage dragging my two friends along with me. I started to rock to the music and sing out.

"She loves you, yeah yeah yeah."

I was jumping up and down screaming in excitement. It thrilled my night when my favorite artist Paul McCartney came over asking if I was the birthday girl, he gave me a kiss on the cheek and started singing to me. He pulled me up onto the stage. I almost died of embarrassment. 

Right then I saw a huge wedding size birthday cake being delivered to the reception area. Hunter smiled at me. I continued to sing with the band. I was shocked when I heard Ringo Star mutter.

"Damn she is actually pretty good.”

I sang my heart out until they escorted me off of the stage, each one giving me a hug and wishing me happy birthday.
