"Are you okay?" Ariel's voice interrupted me as I quickly nodded my head.
I had been lost in my thoughts and didn't even realize I had arrived at school yet. Today is my birthday and the day I would get to meet my mate but I was feeling nervous about it.
"You're thinking about Asher aren't you?" She asked with a cocked brow as her grey eyes stared deeply into my soul.
It mostly amuses me on how quickly she could read my emotions but then she's my oldest friend after all and also the sister to Asher who happens to be my boyfriend.
"Maybe" I answered almost sottovoce.
"Snap out of it okay, today's your day and I'm not going to let some random dude ruin it for you, if he happens to be your mate so be it and if not then you're one lucky girl" she waved her arms in a dramatic way.
I really couldn't put down the fact that she hated Asher even though he was her biological brother but she claims he's a jerk. She got upset the moment she found out I loved him and almost killed me when she found out that I confessed my feelings to him and proposed a relationship. I guess love could really fuck me up sometimes.
"You do realize he's your brother right?" I teased with a smirk.
"Unfortunately, the moon goddess wasn't being fair" she pouted and I couldn't help but let out a smile as we both left the classroom for the cafeteria.
"I'll leave you to it, I really don't want to be around when he happens to be your mate and y'all do all of those icky stuff so we'll meet after school today and I'll take you on a treat since it's your birthday"
she gave me a small punch on my back before walking to the opposite direction as she wiggled her tiny backside in an attempt to make me laugh.
On walking to the cafeteria, different thoughts kept on roaming in my head and I couldn't stop the small smile from finding its way on my lips when I thought of how happy he would be with me. The only thing I might be concerned about is being the future Luna if we mated. Hell, I couldn't even face my class, not to mention talking to the whole pack.
My heart kept racing the closer I got to the cafeteria and I started to perceive a really strong smell, my inner wolf started to purr and jump in happiness and in no time my senses were intensified and my thoughts were clouded, all I could think of was meeting the person already.
I entered the room to meet Asher sitting on his usual desk, the smell grew stronger the closer I got to him and this day couldn't get any better for me to find out my mate is actually my boyfriend.
"Asher!" I squeaked in excitement as I wrapped my arms around him but he didn't respond like he used to nor did he hug me back.
I slowly pulled away from the hug in an attempt to figure out what was wrong.
"Asher, it's my birthday!" I smiled as I looked deep into his dark grey eyes, similar to those of Ariel.
"I know, happy birthday!" He coldly replied and I knew something was wrong.
I took a few steps back because I didn't want to be affected by his attitude. Perhaps he'll be happy when he knows I'm mated to him.
"I have good news," I said in enthusiasm but there wasn't still any emotion on his face as he stared at me with a blank expression.
"Let's save it for later" he abruptly said and pushed the tray of food on his desks as he stood up from his seat.
"Asher!" I yelled his name because I was getting anxious, at least I deserve to know what was the cause of his sudden behavior on my birthday.
