“Guess Midnight’s not the only one who has a little crush,”Rose announced.
“I don’t blame them. Elias is hot, so it’s only understandable that Eli would be just as attractive. Even more so,”Lexi admitted.
“We gotta make sure someone takes a recording with that weird device Marcus has for memories,”Hope suggested.
“Maybe I’ll ask Kai to stalk them and draw a picture when they finally kiss,”Lily suggested, sounding pleased.
I can fucking hear you! Weren’t you listening to my conversation before? Can’t handle this. Go away.
I shooed them out of my mind, Rose remained. I hated her stubbornness to obey.
“You shifters and your morals. Hmph,”she commented before leaving my mind. Of course, she wanted the last say.
“As much as I’m intrigued to know what inner conversation just occurred in your mind, it’s way past ten minutes. Let’s go.” She reached out for my hand. I didn’t hesitate, placing mine in hers, the action rewarded me with a smile before she leaned down.
“And you look smoking hot Makoto.” Elias deep voice whispered against my ears; a pair of lips kissed my sensitive spot.
I froze; the goosebumps flowed down my skin at the sudden touch.
Eli pulled away from me; her eyes still glowed as she winked, the glow faded away. Eli blinked before she frowned.
“Stupid Elias. OI, this is my turn! You can’t go interrupting my Mako time. Go to sleep or something. Ugh, don’t nag at me, it’s annoying. Whatever,” she huffed, turning her back on me for a moment.
She wasn’t the only one who needed to compose herself, my face was cherry red and my body hummed for more.
The day I’d get revenge on these hormones.
“Let’s go,” Eli whispered, tugging for me to move forward.
We walked out of the house; the boys were in a circle. Their expressions all so focused, they were probably discussing when we’d be returning home. I was excited to return, but I wanted to enjoy this blissful moment before having no other choice than to face reality.
They all turned at once as we approached, their eyes grew wide – their expressions reminded me of the time I’d cooked them breakfast. Even Kai was sporting the same stunned look, the pencil he was previously spinning between his fingertips, fell into the pool.
I blushed, the attention made me nervous. I quickly hid behind Eli.
“Do I look weird?” I questioned, gulping. I could see them struggling to speak.
“If I look bad I can go chan—”
“NO!” they all yelled suddenly. Eli laughed, stepping away from me before turning to face me.
“Don’t mind them. They’ve just never seen a female shifter look as hot as you. Now, don’t you guys have something to give our Princess before we get this party started?” Eli proposed staring at them.
I looked in confusion as they conversed amongst themselves first, coming to an agreement before Kai walked to the back of the table, kneeling down and picking up a large, decorative box – the pink, glittering wrapping paper twinkled in the light with a rainbow ribbon wrapped neatly around it.
I gawked at the oversized present. My eyes had already begun to sting, trying my best to hold back my tears. Kai stood before me and presented me the gift with a beautiful smile on his face.
“This is for you Makoto. This is from all of us. I hope each gift reminds you of how special you are to us.”
I nodded, speechless as I accepted the gift. I knelt down to the grass, too caught up with opening the present to care about its prickliness.
It didn’t take me long to open the gift, once again ensuring the wrapping paper was intact, so I could save it for memory sake.
There was multiple clothing, courtesy of Marcus, a pink apron with the wordsMy Princess Rules, a chibi, brown haired girl with blue dot eyes wearing a gold crown and holding a frying pan as a specter from Elias, a variation of recipe books and a selection of my favourite novels from Ryder.
I noticed a small, leather black book. I inspected the simplistic cover, pulled the gold string that held it together before opening it.
I gasped, the front page presented a striking image of me, sketched in the finest details with various colours. My usual turquoise eyes were an exact replica on the cream like paper.
