Chapter 31

As soon as Marcus open the backdoor of the pack house everything goes silent still. Hundreds wide eyes stare back at us with surprise then all at once they bow their heads in submission and go down on their knees.

I swallow hard, It was quite a scary sight to be honest and a bit uncomfortable. I was never much for a high position I always liked to blend in the crowd then to be the center of attention.

My heart picks up its pace when the realization hits me hard that this was my first time meeting them all as their Luna, with their Alpha by my side.

I slightly turn my head to the side to see Marcus standing up straighter beside me, his shoulders square and feet wide apart. He looked over his people proudly, his gray, dominating eyes taking their time observing each one of them ''Rise.'' he demands in a deep authority voice.

Only a single word but held so much power, That even my wolf quivered to kneel to his demands and she was one proud wolf.

My eyebrows furrow I don't remember my former Alpha holding this much power or Darrion for that matter....

''Jowdan!'' a tiny voice screamed.

At the sound of my name, my eyes leave the crowd and fall on a pink fluff ball running my way at full speed.

''Jowdan! you came to my birthday party!'' Quinn squeals and wraps her small arms around my legs tightly.

Laughing, I look down and run my fingers though Quinn's wild curly hair, trying to tame them to no avail ''How can I miss my baby's birthday?'' I ask. smiling, I straighten her crooked tiara.

Giving me a wide toothy grin she pulls back only to squeal even louder than before making Marcus and Max wince beside me ''And you brought princess too?!?'' her eyes shine with happiness like I just gave her the keys to charlie and the chocolate factory.

Placing her hands on my belly, she rubs her cheek on it before placing a kiss. I throw my head back and a bark of laughter leave my lips. My heart soars, Sometimes I think she loves this baby more than I do.

''It's not like she had a choice, Stupid'' Max says dryly, referring to her last comment. rolling his eyes, he gives me a look that says 'See what I meant by crazy?'

Pulling away from me, Quinn place her hands on her hips and narrows her emerald doe eyes at Max ''Mom said it's rude to call people stupid. You're not a very nice boy, Pax.''

Max growls  ''Its. Max.'' he grits through clenched jaw.

''Fax'' she threw back stubbornly. Not the one to back down easily.

''Okay! off you kids go.'' Clapping her hand, Noelle stands beside me and makes a shush motion with her hands. 

Giving my belly one last kiss, Quinn follows behind Max all the while tugging at his t-shirt to get his attention.

''Alpha,'' Noelle bows her head at Marcus and smiles kindly.

''Noelle,''Marcus gives her a nod of acknowledgment and look around the buzzing party ''You did well,''

''Thank you, Alpha'' her smiles turns into full blown grin. Its really weird how 180 degree turn Noelle's personality takes whenever she's around Marcus.

Marcus's eyes glaze for a minute, letting out a impatient sigh. he looks down at me with much softness in his gray eyes ''Adam set an emergency meeting, I will be back in few minutes.'' he tells me, leaning down he place a kiss on my forehead. His eyes move to Noelle before turning around and entering the pack house. 

My eyes don't leave his back until he is out of view. I turn to look at Noelle and raise a brow ''What did he tell you?''

Draping her skinny arm over my shoulder, She shakes her head and makes a 'tsk' noise ''That you're under my protection and if something happened to you he will have my head on top of the Christmas tree this year.''
