Chapter 82 Birthday Gift The End
Chapter Eighty-Two – Birthday Gift – The End.
(A Week Later)
Nathan wasn’t sure if he was now a victim of ‘don’t kill him, only I can kill him’.
His sister had protected him from Johnson and left questions in his head. She saw him early but she didn’t say a word to him.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
His mother had always known his identity, his father also, and now the pack. And they were taking it quite well, but it’d be their pack’s secret.
His mother did say that Luciana calmed down and has taken things as normal, but he guessed it would take time for them to be normal again.
The door opened and Nathan shrieked in fear, but it was Francis, dressed in black and teary eyes. He stared at the boy, helplessly.
Garcia was found dead in her apartment by Luciana. It turned out that when she arrived, the first person she checked was Garcia.
And that was why she went after Johnson and not the elder wolves.
“It’s okay. You got a fox brother to rely on now. And your mom too, you’d be okay.” Nathan patted Francis’ head.
The boy buried his face on his chest, hugging him closely. Nathan patted his head again.
He stayed at the burial ground, sending Garcia off for minutes, he knew where the emptiness he felt last week came from. Her death.
She had grown up as his little sister. She being killed by Johnson made him want to hurt Johnson’s corpse again.
Keon reminded him of Stephanie’s birthday party that he was already running late for, he rushed into his car to drive off.
He noticed Jarma leaving with Reina from the burial ground but he dismissed the thought to go after him, he had Alpha duties to take care of.
“Hey, Francis! I’m leaving for Stephanie’s party. Wanna come?” he opened the car door for him.
Francis watched as the door closed back and smiled. “No, I got to do something, I’d go kill it and be back soon.” He saluted and hurried off.
“Kill it?” Nathan asked loudly.
Keon screamed again about Stephanie’s birthday so he brushed it off and drove straight to her house.
Before getting out of the car, he attempted injecting himself with his medication, but decided for to make skin contact without it prior.
“Mr. Nathan!” the twins jumped on him as he walked in. He caught them both in time but his arms ached, but he endured it.
“Hey, angels. Wow, blue looks good on you two!” he complimented their gowns and bows. They giggled and bowed. “Thank you!”
He smiled at them as they ran off, he didn’t feel an unnatural change in his body, his convulsion never came.
His fear of being discovered left as well with his skin allergy. The doctor had been right, it was all a psychology illness.
He sighted Stephanie from far. She looked like a goddess in the crystal jewelries and a red short sleeved gown, with a crown at the top.
Her forehead creased and he saw she was speaking with Mr. Jason. Had she invited him?
He walked faster to hear them but all he caught was a ‘thank you, I hope we’d be friends in the future’ and Mr. Jason walked away with a smile.
Stephanie also had a smile too. Her eyes locked with Nathan and her smile increased.
“Hey, fox!” she whispered, giving him a hug.
He grinned, wrapping his hands around her.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to Garcia’s burial, I swear it’s not because I don’t like her, but my guests arrived early.” She gave a sorry smile.
Nathan shrugged. He’d prefer a party to a burial anyway. “Oh, did Ashley drop by? She said she would.” They walked hand in hand around.
“Yeah.” Stephanie smiled. “And she told me her wedding date.” Her smile reduced. “Which is still three months from now but at least definite.”
Nathan chuckled, he stopped their walking. “I have to check on Francis so I’d give you your gift earlier.”
Stephanie’s eyes shone and she pursed her lips. “You’re leaving early?”
Nathan nodded, with a head tilt. “Yeah but don’t worry, I’m yours now.”
Stephanie rolled her eyes but smirked.
He handed a document to her. She frowned. Was it some kind of weird contract she had to sign? She opened it, but then her father came to Nathan and took him aside.
“What? Our estate? This is the freaking documents to our estate?” she gaped at the document.
Nathan fvcking bought her whole estate? And it was now birthday gift? She stared at him with adoration.
And who won’t love the guy! She shouldn’t blame herself, it was fated, just as he said of them being soulmates.
Someone nudged her from behind, she held her documents to her chest and swerved around. She met with the cheerful eyes of Francis.
“Oh my, you made it to my party!” she made a small eye smile. He stretched his hand to reveal a yellow badge.
“My gift to you, happy birthday!” Francis said with no emotion.
She watched him carefully, then saw the blood stains on his hands. She took a step back. “From who?” the badge was used for werewolf ranking.
“Cherry, isn’t?” it was Nathan, he held Stephanie in the waist, and kept his other hand on his hips. “You killed Cherry, Francis?”
The boy breathed in and out. “Her new Alpha, Jarma gave me permission. She declared herself rogue too.”
His eyes teared up. “She had dared say that she’d avenge her cousin. It was a harmless gift for Stephanie, and to avenge my sister.”
Stephanie pulled him for a hug, while trying to suppress a smirk. “Thank you for the gift!”
She released him and gave Nathan an eye to not scold him. The boy stood still, waiting for Nathan’s verdict.
“Let’s have a run at the forest.” Nathan patted him.
His face lit up. “You’re not mad?” It burdened him, that his only relative in the world would see him as a crazy killer and avoid him.
Nathan shook his head. “Cherry would have been trouble in the future. You avenged Garcia, she’d be proud.”
Francis made a firm nod and hurried towards the car. Nathan pulled Stephanie with him, she wanted to protest but went along with it.
As she ran past her dad, he nodded to her, assuring her he’d handle her guests. It seemed to her that her father had told Nathan to take her around.
“Okay, run around, I’d take pictures.” She declared, holding up Nathan’s medium sized camera. They were at the forest.
She watched them play around in their fox form and took countless pictures of it, she gazed upon Francis’s fur.
It looked of artistic design and wasn’t weird at all. She hoped that one day more people would be accepting of things they don’t understand.
“Hey, girlfriend, come let’s take a full picture.”
It was Nathan calling to her, she hadn’t noticed when he shifted and put on shorts.
She ran to him, laughing. “Coming, boyfriend!”
