Their flower

Chapter eighteen

Pearl woke up, feeling ever so much better than she did the previous night. All her sickness had seemed to have disappeared. She stretched out her arms as far as they could go, yawning loudly. Today was the day where she would celebrate her birthday... even if it was only something small; she had always done it that way.

Back when she just lived with Peter, they didn't have much money, so they always only got a present each. Usually, she would get Peter a new shirt or many a pair of boots, if she had saved up enough. And if she had time, she would make a cake also (after many fails)... he was the best brother in the world, after all. And he would get her a new hair tie, or maybe even a flower crown for her to wear. No matter what it was, she would always be grateful. He had always been so good to her, and she barely did anything in return. 

And that's why she loved him.

Pearl got up and changed into something simple that she found in the wardrobe; a white v- neck sweater, thin, but thick enough to keep her warm. She didn't fancy a repeat of the previous day. She matched it with long black bottoms that flared out a bit, white stripes running vertically down their length. She slipped on some black ballet pumps though, too scared ton wear even baby high heel; she didn't want to fall and embarrass her self. Not today.

Her hair was tied back in a messy bun, curls falling down out of the style all around her face. Even if it was only a few bits and pieces, Pearl felt as though she had finally found an OK hair style. She didn't put any make up on. Why would she? She never had in the past, except for special occasions. Pear didn't mind that her face looked a little tired and run down. It was what she was used to, and nobody was going to change her.

As Pearl opened the door, a familiar face screamed "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" Katie was there, smiling widely. Her hair was tied back in a short pony tail, and bags lay under her eyes. Pearl smirked. Somebody had a rough night with their baby. "Oh, don't you look lovely!" she commented, wrapping her big arms around Pearls tiny frame. Pearl couldn't help but smile. Katie had been nothing but nice since she had gotten there, and paid no attention to the way her mate acted towards her. 

She was her inspiration.

As Katie led Pearl down the stairs, Pearl began to get nervous. She had been wrapped up in a blind fold, so that she couldn't see a thing that was happening. She hardly knew anybody in the house; Katie, her dick of a mate, their baby, and then.... Blade. Of course, he would act nice towards her... but nobody knew they were mates yet. How could they act normally around each other under these circumstances?

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"she heard several voices shout. She took off the blind fold to behold the most beautiful sight she thought that she had ever seen! Birthday banners hung from wall to wall, streamers placed randomly on a variety of objects. A table full of food, yes food and not raw meat, filled with cakes, biscuits, sandwiches and sweets. Nobody had ever done so much for her...

But they had.

A lot of people were in the massive room, but she could tell not the entire pack. She knew the whole pack was massive. Katie led her down to go and see some of the people, but all their bright smiles seemed to melt away her nerves. "Hi, I am Doctor Reynolds, the pack doctor. Its so lovely to finally put a name to a face" She was a tall women, with tan skin and long black hair. She looked more of a super model than a doctor! Katie still held her hand, dragging her off to see what Pearl could tell was a pair of twins.

They were both tall, tan skin and messy brown hair. Both of them had cheeky grins plastered on their faces. They were about Pearls age, but she could tell that they were mischievious. "These are the twins, Alex and Aiden. They are two of our pack warriors, and also Johns cousins!" Pearl didn't really believe that all these happy people had relations to that bag of crap. 

But lastly, she saw the Alpha. Blade looked hotter than she had ever seen him! He wore a plain white t- shirt, muscles bulging out in too many places to count. His dark hair was swiftly styled out of his face, showing off how perfect he looked. Sharp jaw line that looked as though she could cut her hand on it. Piercing eyes, brighter than the sun its self. And then his smile, oh that smile. The smile that would have made any women fall in love with him. 

"The Alpha said that he wanted to give his present first. Hes the only one of us that got you over five" Katie whispered into her ear, giggling loudly. Pearl couldn't help but notice the loving look Beat Johnson was ending towards his mate; I guess she really could bring out the best in him. She looked towards the Alpha, his smile still lay there. How could some body so strong look so vulnerable? But she guessed that was just how some people worked.

He stood up, towering over her, but the grin never faltered. "I have many more presents for you flower, but I just thought that I should start off with this one" he said, leaning closer to her face. "Close your eyes" he whispered, hot breathe running along her face. She followed instruction, butterflies swirling around her stomach. What had he gotten for her? It had been such short notice, how had he done so much?

After what felt like years of listening of the shuffling around her, it ended. "You can open now, my little flower" Pearl couldn't open her eyes straight away, nerves taking the better of her. What had he got? Would she like it? Would she have to pretend to be over the moon with his gift in front of all of these people? Or would she really really love it?

But it was nothing that she could have ever expected. There he was, down on one knee in front of. He looked up with the sweetest expression on his face. And in his hand lay a little black box... 

"Will you marry me?"

WORDS: 1099

Oh my God, you don't know how hard it was for me to write that chapter! There was some may bits whilst writing this chapter where I was thinking; is it too soon to add this part in? But then I remembered, there is still a lot to come! Better get on with it!

I know I haven't written in ages, but life has just caught up with me, I hope that I can try to get an update or two out a week now, but it is difficult. My fellow writers understand me.

Question(s) of the day: Would you say yes or no? If no, which one of the mates would you marry? 

I'M OUT!
