"It's your birthday Grace, What are you doing out here?" a loud voice came behind me.
I looked at my friend Violet and let out a soft chuckle.
"I'm out for some air, you know, I'm a little nervous about what I have planned for tonight ......" I clasped my arms tighter around myself, trying to calm down a little.Today is my twentieth birthday and there was a grand celebration, but I felt so overwhelmed.
But that was not all, today, something drastic was about to happen.
I was ready to give my virginity to my mate, my boyfriend Logan. We are going to marry tomorrow, so this was the best gift I could give to him.
We had been dating for the last two years, and they were the best years of my life. Logan was everything I hoped for, he was caring, loving, and considerate.
Even though there were times he could be persistent, but we were great together. Being the daughter of the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, relationships were always hard for me. Because you never know, when someone was really into you or they were into the power that I came along with.
Sexual relationships were common in the pack life, but my relationship with Logan was nothing like that because I wanted to be sure if he really wanted to be with me. My mother always told me that if a man can't respect a small decision of his partner, then it wasn't worth wasting time on him. But Logan was different, he loved me for who I was and not because of what I could make him.
So, therefore, I decided that today we are going to erase that difference and be together for real. I was going to have sex with him.
I came back to the party with Violet and noticed the lively faces of my family and my close friends. Each member of my pack was here, to celebrate my birthday, my happiness.
I was a little nervous thinking about Logan and bubbles of excitement burst through me. This was it, this was the night when I would be his forever.
I looked around, my gut dropped in disappointment when Logan was nowhere around the party. I checked my phone and noticed his message.
He was stuck somewhere at work and would be late. I was disappointed but understood that he had his own life, not everything revolved around me.
But still, I felt a little bad.
I looked around at the dazzling lights and lively faces. The biggest of them was Daniel Hawthorne, my father. He was the happiest person after knowing about my relationship with Logan.
I always longed for his love and appreciation. And with one decision, I had it all. It was a blessing. But my mood soured the next moment when I noticed my stepmom, Lizzie, resting her hand on his elbow. As if anyone will forget he belongs to her.
She might be afraid of Karma.
Lizzie was a shrewd woman, she was in a relationship with my father, being completely aware that he was mated to my mother. They even had a daughter, Emma. Who was just as cunning as her mother.
And when my mother died ten years ago, just like the venomous snake they entered my house and acted like she owned that place. But she was never going to be our pack's Luna, she knew that, and maybe this was the reason why she always tried to be close to my father.
I frowned and noticed Emma was also missing from the party, which was all fine with me. But I didn't trust this mother-daughter duo at all.
I tried to contact Logan with the mind link, but all in vain. I was blocked.
I moved to a little secluded area, to concentrate more but, it was as if there was a heavy wall built to stop our communication.
A chill ran down my spine, thinking that something bad had happened to Logan. I moved farther away from the party, but the weight on my link remained the same.
But a soft moan fell on my ears.
