Birthday Party

Hayden's pov.

It was 6 in the afternoon when I left my office and headed to the pack house. I looked out the car window when the pack house caught my eye. It was a huge glass building contained six floors. It was really eye catching being in the middle of the forest. The forest was in the middle of our pack territory and it was our private zone far away from human territory. No one, I mean no human knew this area. Until I saw there were a lot of cars parked in front of my pack house. My front pack house was looked like a parking lot now.

"Noah, what is it!" My anger was burst out of my chest as soon as we reached the basement. The basement was the only place which was clear from the parked cars.

Noah opened my door as I jumped out of the car and slammed the door. Noah bowed to me, "I'm sorry Alpha, this is out of my knowledge."

"That's not an answer!" I snapped. Noah still bowed to me and remained silent. I mindlinked Danny as I rushed to the first floor. 'Danny! Care to explain what's going on the pack house?!' I demanded.

Danny mindlinked me back. 'You arrived?! Actually, it was your pack members' surprise. Matthew, Ian and Zash to be exact. I also had no idea that their surprise was inviting humans to our private zone'

'Are they out of mind! Where are they?!'

'They are here in your study, I teach them lessons.'

I rushed to the third floor where my study was. I slammed my door open and roared. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!!!!" Matthew, Ian and Zash flinched at my tone. They were my strongest warriors in the pack. I trained them myself. Therefore, they were the closest to me among the pack members after Danny. However, how could they betray me like this. I rub my face roughly.

"We are sorry Alpha!." They knelt begging for mercy. "We are out of our mind!"

"So, what are your excuses?" Demanding explanation.

"We want to help you find your mate, Alpha." Zash said still kneeling.

"We only invite women-human and she-wolf from other packs." Matthew added.

"And the humans are most from your work relations." Now, it was Ian.

I had no idea why they would come up with such worst plan. Humans would found out our well-being, while we struggled to blend with them. And it was only to find my mate! See, I caused my pack members worried of me by being unmated Alpha that could not find his mate anywhere. They actually wanted Luna.

"I forgive you all this once. If I have ever found out other things like this again, you all should be punished! Now, go out from my sight!"

"We won't do such a thing again. Thank you Alpha!!!"

Finally, they were out of my study. I looked to my beta, "Danny! Clear the mess! I wanna rest tonight." My voice sounded tired.

"Hey, why don't you enjoy the party. It is your birthday party anyway. You forget, we have Alice?" Alice was Danny's mate, but that was not the point. The point was she was a special she-wolf. She had a capability in erasing people's memory like a witch, even though she was not. She was pure werewolf.

I considered his suggestion. I already stressed-out about finding out that my mate was a widow. I needed to refresh my mind. "Alright then, I'll be down in any minute."

"Good to hear!" He smiled.

After changing into my casual outfit (I didn't like wearing formal ones such as suit or tuxedo outside of work life, even though it was my birthday party), I headed down the floor. The party should be held at the ballroom on the first floor. As I entered the room, every one came to greet and congratulated me. The man were all my pack members, while the women were my work-partners from other companies and half of them were she-wolf from other packs. They all looked pretty and sexy, but none of them caught my attention. My mate's beauty and sexiness was actually beyond them. I growled within my head at the thought and had missed her already. And it was then, the sweet scent I fell for, hit my nose. She was here.

Elena's pov.

I almost got lost in this forest. Was it the right address? I stared at the birthday invitation's map. What kind of party that held in the forest like this? I wondered. However, I amazed as a giant glass building showed up to my view. How could there be a building in the middle of the forest?

I parked my car in front of the building. Actually, there were a lot of cars parked here and I almost gave up finding a space for my car until I found one. I jumped out of the car as I was admiring the most beautiful building ever. The view was really wonderful. A futuristic building met the nature. And the air was refreshing. I inhaled deeply.

I walked toward the building. But suddenly stopped to adjust the very short dress I wore. It was really uncomfortable. The dress was belong to Vic, so it was Vic's size which smaller that mine. The dress was beautiful, a lower cut black shimmery that shows my cleavage and it was really tight, hugged my body like a second skin. And also very short just under my ass. If it wasn't for Alex and Vic who kept forcing me to attend the party, I wouldn't come with a dress like this. Even though it was her best dress she had. But again, Mr. Johnson flashed to my mind. I wanted to meet him again. Was I already attracted to him?

Now I was already inside the building. The man who stood by the front door, or the security I guessed (He didn't look like a security by the appearance), showed me the way to the ballroom then finally, arriving in front of the ballroom's door. The man help me open the huge door. I came in and saw the crowded. Most of them were pretty women with beautiful dresses. I looked at my self and sighed. What did I expect by coming here? Mr. Johnson wouldn't bother look at me. The ugly and .............. the widow. I bit my bottom lip. I was stupid.

Maybe, I made a wrong decision by coming here. I should go back home.

When I turned my self to leave from the crowd, I heard a loud menacing growl. I gasped. No, everyone gasped. What was that? The room was silent. A fresh masculine hit my nostrils. And then a man showed and walked towards mine. Mr. Johnson!
