I wake up early this morning to cook Eli's breakfast, so that I can hide up in my room when I'm done until Chris comes. I check the time, and then hurry up to set the food on the table. I will be damned if he finds me in here. All done and ready to go into hiding, I see the mess I made in my haste to finish cooking. Sighing, I head back in the kitchen to just temporarily clean the room quickly.

I am busy cleaning the plates that I don't hear Elijah entering the kitchen. I feel his hands on my waist, making me pause on what I'm doing. He rests his head on my neck and I could feel his breath hitting the skin there, making a shiver run down my body.

"Morning, love." His voice comes out deep.

"M-morning," a whisper escapes my mouth.

"You are early today."

"Yes, just preparing you breakfast." I hastily reply. "Go on and eat, it's already on the table." I add.

"Mmmmm, but I like you as breakfast this morning. You will do just fine." He brings his right hand inside the t-shirt I had on, his t-shirt. He moves his hand on my stomach then starts playing with my bellybutton.

His mouth comes down on my neck and place light kisses there. He brings out his tongue and licks my skin making me bite my bottom lip to hold in the pleasurable voices about to come out.

"And you taste delicious, more than the pancakes I'm sure." His left hand touches my skin as well and he moves it up, bringing the t-shirt up with it.

"As much as I like you in my t-shirt, you will look sexier without it." He says and licks my ear with his wet tongue.

My breath hitches when I feel his left hand start rubbing my nipple and I press my back into his chest leaving no space between us. That's how I feel his hardness pressing on my ass. He hisses and starts grinding on me, moving his hips in circular motion.

"Elijah," I gasp and soon enough, I start to get aroused myself. I turn around to face him so that I can push him away from me. I forget the reason I turned around, when my eyes comes in contact with his. I see lust in his eyes, the green in it becoming darker.

Shit! I am in deep trouble.

In a flash, I'm placed up on the counter with my legs around Elijah's waist. His lips lands on mine in a fierce battle. I keep my mouth closed, denying his tongue entry. He groans then moves his hips again, grinding on my growing erection.

"El-" I start to protest only for his tongue to make his way in my mouth. We both moan in pleasure and I get lost in it all. I put my arms around his neck, bringing him closer to me. Our tongues dance around each other and he explores my mouth until he's satisfied.

His mouth trails down from my mouth to the neck. He sucks and bite the skin there making me cry out his name repeatedly.

The Band Perry's, If I die young, starts playing out loud, successfully making my head to start functioning properly. It's a ringtone to my phone which is currently vibrating and ringing in my pocket.

"Eli stop! I need to get that." I call out in his head, hoping to make him stop, while I still try to catch my breath.

"Elijah!" I shout his name when I see him trying to take the t-shirt off me. He releases my neck and rests his head there while also catching his breath.

"Do we have to stop?"

"Yes, I need to get that because it's important." I answer his question.

"Fine." He raises his head and we look at each other for a minute. The phone stops ringing for a bit and then starts again.

"You should get that." He states while we are still looking at each other.

"Yeah." I agree with him but don't make any movement.

"I should have that breakfast now." I nod and he breaks the eye contact, leaving the kitchen. I sigh and mentally curse myself.

"Hello," I answer the ringing phone, coming down from the counter and rush in the bedroom straightening the t-shirt. I lock the door once I'm back inside.

"Don't tell me you're still sleeping that's why you have not been answering the phone!" Chris yells at me.

"Jeez! It only ringed twice and you're screaming at me like crazy."

"Twice? You stupid baby! I didn't call twice; in fact I have been calling the last 30 minutes."

"Really? I'm sorry then, I was a bit caught up in something. What's up?"

I hear him sigh, probably trying to calm himself. "I am here."

"Perfect! I'm coming down there." I end the call and run out of the room, going to the door.

"Where are you going?" Elijah calls out to me.

"Downstairs. Chris is here." I leave the room and run down the stairs. I find Cad and Chris talking or more like whispering.

"Hey guys." I greet them.

"Hey." They greet back.

"I take it Elijah is still in your room?" I nod at Cad. "Then my room it is."

We both go to Cad's room and he locks the door. Both boys come near me and start smelling me. I wonder if I smelled bad or something.

"You leak of Elijah, Kacy." Cad finally pronounces.

"What?"

"You have his scent all over you. I mean, sometimes you smell of him but this is too much. Unless.......... No way!" I could have laughed at the expression on Cad's face if the situation wasn't serious.

"Yes way! He definitely did it. I want the details!" Chris shouts happily at me and grasps my arm. I scoff at his childish behavior and shrug his hold off me.

"Cad don't look that horrified, he is my mate and stuff is bound to happen." I tell him and he just nod dumbly. "And you," I point at Chris who winks at me. "I didn't sleep with Elijah so stop thinking that way and I won't give you details about our heavy make out. Where are the pills?"

"Way to burst my bubble." Chris pouts but I ignore him. "Here are your pills." He hand me tiny looking yellow pills in a bottle. "They will keep the heat at minimum. You will feel some of the effects of heat, like rise in temperature of your body. Your mate won't be able to smell the heat. Take two in the morning for a day and keep time record of when you drink so that you can drink at the same time next day. It starts working instantly." He explains.

He hands me a water bottle and I take the pills after seeing the time. I take a deep breath loving the new feeling I get.

"Thanks." I smile at Chris.

"You are ​welcome, what are friends for?"

We both laugh and joke around happily.

We decide to go shopping for the day. I take a shower in Cad's room and put on some of my clothes that I left in his room. Once I'm done we leave but the minute we go out the front door, I stop in the front yard remembering Elijah.

I say in my attempt to ask for permission to leave the house. Not that I have to but I thought it best he knows of my whereabouts.

I try to protest.

He declares, leaving no room for argument.

I sigh.

I don't respond feeling angry at him. Xavier comes up with a car and we both get in. I smirk when a thought comes in mind on how I can get back to Elijah. He shouldn't have made me take Xavier as if I can't drive myself. I need privacy sometimes.

We spend the whole day buying lots and lots of things. I told the guys Elijah was paying the bills and to take whatever they liked. By the end of the day, we had many bags of things we bought. When we get back, Elijah isn't home so I go straight to getting ready for the birthday dinner that Jemima planned for me.

I invited all the family and friends I had. I even sent an invitation back home but wasn't sure if they will come. When I get downstairs after getting myself ready, I am embraced by Keziah.

"Happy birthday, Kacy," she shouts happily.

"Thank you, sis." I smile.

She came with her husband and children. They all greet me saying their wishes and hands me some presents. Then Layton and Chris with their children approach me, greeting and giving me their gifts. Next is Cad and Marah, they give me their presents as well. Jemima and Darius too, hands me their gift. Elijah is not here yet and neither are my dad and brother. I guess ​the latter won't make it.

We are about to head to the dining room when the front door opens. I smile knowing it must be Elijah, just in time. He comes inside and gives me a brief kiss on the lips and pulls away.

"I've brought you some guests." He smiles at me.

"Guests?" I ask, wondering who it might be.

"Come in guys!" He calls out.

The door opens, only to have my father, Kelvin with his mate and Bertha, Cad's sister. I froze in place as I watch my other family walking inside the house.

"Happy birthday, my son."

A joyful tear drops down my cheek. I run into my father's arms, enjoying the feel that comes with it.

"I missed you, dad."

"I missed you too, pup." He runs his hands up and down my back in comfort.

"You didn't miss me? I'm hurt!" I laugh as Kelvin pouts and I go to hug him as well. I greet the rest and we all go in the dining room, thankful for it being so big and able to accommodate us all. I sit next to Kelvin with Elijah at my other side.

Xavier and the others who lives in the pack house, joins the dinner as well. We all eat and talk happily with each other. This is the best way I could have wished for how to spend my birthday; a full house with both my family and friends, especially with Elijah by my side.

With a smile, I turn to face Elijah who smiles down at me lovingly.

I place my hand on his thigh and he soon presses his on top of mine, holding it tightly.

I smile.

He leans down and places a kiss on my lips for a brief second.

The smile doesn't leave my face throughout the dinner as we all laugh and share silly stories especially mine but with Jemima throwing in Elijah's stories, I feel the embarrassment of diaper days stories even out. My mind takes in more than enough pictures of this day and stores them away among my other treasured memories and I couldn't ask for a more wonderful birthday like this.
