Chapter 42

"You're going to start a family soon" mum said as she hands over the China set to me. "And you're going to need it"

"Thank you mum"

"Open mine next" alia says and I start to tear the wrapping sheet on her present.

I groan out in annoyance when I see it's a baby bottle starter kit while Casper smirks. "Why?"

'They seem to have faith in my baby making ability' Casper mind-links. I give his torso a shove with my elbow as he chuckles out loud.

Mary got me oven mittens.Faye got me a polaroid camera while Quinn got me a big photo album. Noel got me the same stupid snow globe he gives me every fucking year. Hank and grandpa got me a scarf and boots for the winter. Grandma got me a cookbook and dad got me a mug which says 'best Luna ever'.

"I made you this" Javier finally hands his presents to me. It's a framed drawing of Casper,him and I.

"Awwwwwnnnnn" grandma,mum and Mary exclaims.

"He's such a cutie" mum says and hugs Javier closer.

I smile, "it's very beautiful sweetie" I say.

"You better hurry up and give me another grandchild so I can steal this one" mum squeals and tickles Javier.

Javier throws his head in laughter, "you'll tickle him to trauma kat" dad chuckles.

"Let's go have cookies" noel says and snatches Javier from mum and running into the kitchen.

"Noel Christian archibald" mum warns and follows closely behind him.

Hank immediately stands up and rushes after them, "just to make sure that noel comes out alive"

After a while,we all move to the backyard. Noel and Natalie are eating up all the cookies and cakes on the rectangular table filled with baked goodies; Zoey and Javier are running around together with Alia, Anne and Quinn chasing after them; Grandma and Dakota are inside the kitchen preparing dinner; Casper, victor, Isabella, Sebastian and Faye are deep in conversation while Hank, grandpa, Mary, mum and dad are also discussing but Alexa distances herself form everyone.

I sit on the plastic chair beside her, "why are you here by yourself?"

She looks at me with a sad smile, "I think you know why"

"I don't want you to feel uncomfortable around my family"

"I doubt they have forgiven me"

"They were nice to you during the summer alpha gala"

"It was business event but now it's a family event—it's just different—very different"

"Still,it wasn't your fault and you didn't know that he was taken"

"That's not what they see"

I sigh, "I won't cause you stress anymore. You have a baby on the way"

She caresses her stomach with a lazy smile, "is it a boy or girl?"

"It's a girl"

"Do you have any name in particular?"

"Well,mason and I were considering calling her Antoinette but right now I want you to be the one to name my child"

My eyes widen in surprise, "you want me to name your daughter?". She nods and I grin.

"I used to want to call my daughter sage but that was a long time ago"

"Would it be okay if I called my daughter that?"

"I'd be honoured if you named your daughter sage"

She rubs her swollen belly, "sage" she breathes, "it's beautiful"

"I know"

"What will you call your daughter then?"

"I dunno but you should have sage. She will be beautiful, smart, strong and the best warrior that werewolves have ever seen" I murmur.

"Do you really think that?"she asks and I snap out of my daze, "huh?".  " do you really think my daughter will be that great?"

I feel weird all of a sudden, "I know she will"

"You should be her God mother"

"No, you've given me enough privilege"

"Nonsense, I will feel honoured if you would be the God mother of sage"

"I don't have a choice, do I?" I smile.

"Nope" she giggles.

"In that case, I accept to be sage's God mother"

We talk for a long time with everyone joining in once in a while when they could. Night time comes soon and its time for my birthday dinner under the stars.

Grandma and mum set the table for twenty one people which is a lot while Casper, noel and Sebastian help bring in the food. Very soon,we're all sitting around the table and the conversation flows.

Casper sits on my left side having a pack discussion with hank while Alexa is on my other side smiling at something that Javier and Natalie who are opposite us are telling her.

I smile at the scene around me and I swear that this is the best birthday I have had in a very long time. I feel Casper's gaze on me. I look at him to see him smiling at me.

"We don't need to rush but if we do have a child,they'll be welcome into the best family" he whispers in my ear.

"I honestly can't wait" I tell him.

"Me too" he says and rubs my stomach.

Dinner goes well and there's laughter at every end,we end the night after sharing a very big cake that Casper and Mary baked.

"This is great" I says as I take a bite. "Did you actually do this?"

"I told you I could bake,didn't I?"

"I thought you were just trying to impress me"

"I didn't need to impress you,you already fell hard for me"

I playfully frown at him and he just laughs and kiss my forehead.

The sound of metal hitting glass is heard and I turn towards the direction to my dad holding up his glass of wine, "Today is a happy day for my son and my daughter. I thank the moon goddess for letting them turn a year older. This is to them finding happiness this year", he simply says and everyone raises their glass before lowering them.

It's nine p.m when we Casper says he has a surprise for me.

"Thank you everyone for this. You made me so happy today but I need to end my day with my mate" I say when everyone looks at us.

"End your day with a good fuck" Victor says and everyone else snickers. Casper joins them and I hide my face in his chest.

We finally leave the house and standing thereon the front porch,is a new, shiny, black Mercedes.

"You didn't have to" I say and step back. Casper takes hold of my hand and yanks me forward, "I did"

"You've already given me so much and more"

"But I want to give you this"

"When did you even have time to get this?"

"I drove back to the house with my car when you were talking to Alexa and drove this one back here"

I kiss his cheek, "thank you so much" I exclaim. He hands me the keys and I run to the car. The nut brown interior is so smooth and soft.

"Fuck" I take hold hold of the steering wheel. I look at Casper who is smirking by the car door and I jump in his arms.

"How can I compete on your birthday?"

"It's not a competition" he says and kisses me. I let him kiss me as long as he want. He holds my waist and pulls me closer as my hand wrap around his neck.

"Wanna take it for a spin?" He murmurs when we part from the kiss.

"Have an idea?"

"Drive to the place where we first place we had each other"

We arrive after two hours with Casper taking the driver's seat after we get lost. The cottage is dark and Casper gets the keys from under a flower pots and pushes the door open. He flips the switch and light quickly illuminate the house. He wastes no time and slam the door shut before pressing me against it and devouring my lips.

He carries me me upstairs to our room and this time,it's decorated with roses and scented candles. He places me on my feet's and I have only a moment to admire it before he starts kissing me again.

After a while,he pulls back and looks at me. He controls his breathing and looks into my eyes, "I've never seen eyes as beautiful as yours" he murmurs, "let's take things slow tonight.

I nod as he kisses me sensually before moving down to my neck. He takes off articles of my clothing one by on except my panties and he takes his off,leaving him in his boxers. He lays me gently on the bed and kisses my body upwards, from my feet to my shoulder.

"Beautiful" he murmurs and looks at my face.

"You know I love you" he whispers and caress my cheek. I lean into the warmth of his hand.

"I know and I love you too" I say back to him.

"I want to go slow with you tonight,make love to every inch of you" I suck in a harsh breath, "I want to kiss you all over" he murmurs and dips his head to my neck.

He places a kiss on mark which makes me shudder in pleasure, "I want our souls to combine tonight". He kisses down to the swell of my breasts.

"I want to see the depths of your soul as I make you mine over and over again"

I run my fingers through his hair and tug slightly. "I want the only things you feel tonight are love my for you and pleasure" he says and takes my nipple in his mouth.

"Casper" I moan out and arch my back,pressing my breasts to him.

"I will take you to the edge so painfully slow", he murmurs and nibble on the breast before taking my nipples in his mouth once again. My breathes becomes ragged as he gives both my breast equal attention.

"I will make love to you till it's my next thrust keeping you sane" He kisses me down to my stomach and nibbles a bit.

"Fuck" I whisper and I feel myself getting wetter.

"My name should be the only thing on your lips tonight" he growls. He pauses at my panties and glances at me. I look at him with hooded eyes and he licks his lips before taking them off slowly. He throws them behind him,not caring where they land.

He parts my legs further and settle in between them. He starts kissing from my calf to my thighs. He does the same to the other leg. He kisses upward and leaves hickeys on his way and he finally stops at my core.

My heart beats faster and I swallow,waiting for his next move. He gently pries my lips apart and softly blows.

"Casper" I cry out which earns a chuckle from him.

"I haven't even started yet"

He blows again and I cry again. He darts out his tongue to taste me, "fuck you taste so good" he groans and continues. He pulls back and I look at him in disbelief.

"What?" He smirks at me.

"Keep going" my voice sounds hoarse.

"What?" He says and blow again.

I throw my head back, "Casper please"

"Please what?"

"Casper" I groan.

"You want it so, you beg for it"

I swallow and open my mouth, "please eat me out" I whisper.

"What did you say?"

"I said eat me out, are you happy?"

"Very" he mumbles and he immediately puts my legs on his shoulders and puts his hand under my ass to drag me closer.

I let out a squeal of surprise and pleasure when I feel his tongue. I don't know how long he was going but I came thrice, each one harder than the last. When he finally pulled back and decided I had enough,I was already out of breath.

He grins at me; licking his fingers, he stares down at me, "I'm no where near done with you"
