Iris's POV
Tonight was the party and Leila, Kayla and I were getting ready together.
It was a no grown ups and little kids invited type of party so we were free to do whatever we want with whomever we want without our parents butting into our business.
It is a pool party and I have the perfect bikini but I know if my dad or brother saw me leave the house in it, I'd be forced to stay home so I put on my red strapless mini dress that I know they won't approve of but would still let me go.
Kayla is wearing a purple kimono style dress that ended at her knees and covers her little purple string bikini while Leila is wearing a black net T-shirt dress with her black one piece swimsuit that has a opening that starts under her breasts and ends just above her v line.
Her dad's out of town so she has no need to worry about anyone killing her vibe tonight.
We didn't bother with makeup because we were gonna go into the water and water proof makeup is a bitch to remove.
We finished getting ready and went downstairs as quietly as we could so no one would know we were leaving, at least that was the plan until Leila and her giant self had to touch the false part of the wall triggering the bolts.
"Duck! " I yelled at her seeing as Kayla and I were already ducked down. She ducked just in time but not before an arrow grazed her hair, cutting off a little at the top.
We froze for a moment to catch our breaths and listen to see if we could hear if anyone was coming down.
We didn't hear any footsteps or any other signs of life in the house so we proceeded down the stairs more confidently, knowing we weren't going to be caught, and walked towards the front door just as it was swung open by my dad with my brother behind him.
Shit.
"Hi daddy. " Kayla and I chirped with fake enthusiasm at the same time.
"You're not going. " He said sternly and walked into the house with all of us dodging the throwing star that came from behind us and pinned itself right were my dad's head was.
"But it's my birthday dad. " I said as we followed him into the kitchen.
"Your birthday isn't until midnight. " He stated.
"But Vlad's throwing this party to make up for us not celebrating our last four birthdays together. " I explained.
"Which is why you're not going. They'll be a lot of drunk and horny wolves there and I'm not letting my little girls go through the risk of being violated or taken advantage of while drunk, plus I heard it's a pool party. " He ranted and I can't help but wonder what he'll do once he finds out that Kayla and I aren't virgins anymore.
"But you're letting Rio go and it's not even his birthday. " Kayla argued.
"It's his best friends birthday. " He stated simply like that made any sense.
"Do you know how wrong that sounds? " She asked frustrated.
He was about to answer when mom comes into kitchen and interrupts him.
"You're being ridiculous Angelo, the girls can go if they want to and you know they can take care of themselves, don't forget that Iris put the Alpha in a coma. " She said leaving him speechless while we jumped up and down giving out little squeals.
"Thanks mom! " All three of us said and yes Leila calls my parents mom and dad just like I do hers.
"No problem girls go have fun. " She said smiling at us and we were out the door like bats out of hell.
The party had already started and everyone was having fun by the time we arrived at the pack house.
We went up to Vlad's room and kept our clothes in the closet before going out to the backyard to join the rest of the party.
We had a few shots that barely made Kayla and I tipsy before we went to the dance floor and started dancing to Blackbear's Juicy sweat suits which is my absolute favourite Blackbear song ever.
I don't know how long we danced and I didn't care cause it was my birthday party and I was having the best time ever.
It wasn't until all the slow sexy songs started playing that I got bored because the girls had gone to dance with some guys and I couldn't find Vlad anywhere.
I left the dance floor and started wondering around the house until I found him in his room which was weird cause Vlad is the biggest party animal I've ever met.
I knocked on the already open door before walking in and sitting next to him on his bed.
"Is everything okay Vladdy? " I asked concerned. He was the one that got me all excited to celebrate our birthday and here he was, alone in his room.
"Yeah, I'm good. Just avoiding Vana. " He said and let out a frustrated sigh.
"Oh, trouble in paradise? " I asked unable to hide the smile on my face which he raised an eyebrow at.
"You don't have to be so happy about it. I know you don't like her but I really do like her right now but she's just been so clingy as of late, telling me that we should spend more time together and that I don't give her enough attention and all that other bullshit. " He explained.
I see little miss Ivana has become paranoid after our little talk. She's making this even more easier for me.
"But that's not true Vladdy, " I put my arm on his shoulder and move closer to him. "You give her all the attention she needs and spend as much time as you can with her, if she can't handle the fact that you're an Alpha and have a whole pack to look after, then she should just break up with you and look for her mate. " I finished and now I was straddling his lap and holding his face in my hands.
"I know right? Back in training camp, we spent almost every second together but I didn't have a pack to run then and I didn't think I'd ever see her again until her whole Alpha situation and... " I cut him off before he could finish.
"What Alpha situation Vladdy. " I asked curiously.
"I can't tell you Pixie, I promised. " He said apologetically.
"We don't keep secrets like these from each other Vlad now tell me what Alpha situation you were talking about. " I demanded and I know if I were anyone else I'd be dead or in a pack cell.
"Ivana had to leave her pack because her Alpha tried to force her into being his mate after his mate was murdered by rogues. " He explained.
"And that doesn't seem even the least bit suspicious to you? " I asked curiously.
"What do you mean? " He was confused.
"What wolf do you know that takes up another mate after the death of their mate? They could have one night stands but they would be to busy hallucinating their mates and trying to kill themselves to be thinking about someone else, especially Alpha's. " I said logically.
"Shit, you're right. " He had that face you get when you just had an epiphany.
"Of course I'm right. Vlad, you're the Alpha and could possibly become Alpha King, you can't go around letting just anyone into the pack or your life without a thorough background check. That's just stupid and reckless and it puts you and the pack in danger. " I reprimanded him and he looked like a little kid that just got scolded by his parents.
"You're right. " I'm always right. "I can't keep doing shit that could put everyone in danger. " He said running his hands through his hair. "What would I do without you Pixie? " He asked with that cute smile as he wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him while I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"You'd probably be dead by now. " I said partially serious cause we both know it's true.
He was staring into my eyes and I into his and I don't know or care who leaned in first cause next thing I know, Vlad and I are kissing.
Best birthday ever!
