Chapter 18

Emma's POV

I woke up with a wide smile on my face for the first time. It's finally happening. The day I've always longed and hoped for is here, literally staring at me in the face. I don't know whether I should cry, laugh or jump for joy. I'm feeling a surge of emotions rushing

through me right now. My heart is palpitating so fast that I can hear it.

I stepped into the bathroom and saw myself in the mirror. I had an ear-splitting grin on my face. My cheeks hurt from smiling too much, but I don't care. I took off my T-shirt, the ant bites and whip marks had all faded, leaving only the frost bites from sleeping outside without any blanket or source of heat on my pale skin. I took my bath humming a song happil

I had already packed and folded all my clothes neatly in my traveling bag after I kept tossing and turning all over my bed, unable to sleep from the excitement of the previous day. I picked up a pair of blue jeans and a yellow T-shirt. I hurriedly left my room to do my chores. I wouldn't want Hailey or the boys to beat me up on my birthday. Today is Saturday so we were all at the pack house. I heard Hailey yell my name. Well, sort of.

I rushed to the kitchen and washed the pile of dishes off the sink. I was on my way to the laundry roo "Fat pig," she yelled.

I rushed to where she was. She was still wearing her flimsy nightgown and she had a facial mask on her face

"Where the hell is my breakfast?" She asked, glaring at me.

I had wanted to tell her that we were out of groceries, but she was asleep, and I didn't dare disturb her. The last time I made such a mistake, I couldn't stand well on my feet for two weeks.

"W...we are out of groceries," I stuttered, fiddling with my fingers and looking down at my worn-out sh

"Why didn't you say so earlier, you dumb b***h?" she screamed at me.

"You were asleep and...,"

"Here," she tossed some money from her wallet at me. "I want my breakfast ready by the time I'm don taking my bath, be a second late, and you will be sorry," she threatened and stumped to her room.

I sigh and start picking up the money that was laying all over the floor. I rushed towards the grocery store, thankfully it wasn't that far. I noticed that the sky looked clearer, the air smelt fresher and colorful birds were chirping happily. Am I seeing things from a new perspective because today is the best day of my life? I skipped to the store, laughing happily along the way people looked at me like I had gone insane, but I didn't care.

I got to the store and got everything I needed fast. I paid for them and got ready to leave. Coincidentally, I bumped into John on the way out.

"Hey John," I said, surprised to see him here so early.

"Whoa Emma, you are glowing, so brightly I can't open my eyes properly," he said, squinting his eyes dracally.

"I will take that as a compliment," I said, laughing gleefully.

"Anyway remember what we talked about? I need to get going right now" I said.

"Of course, I remember, I will see you later Emma the birthday girl," he said chuckling.

I chuckled and waved at him, sprinting back to the pack house as fast as I could. I got in and thankfully Hailey just got out of the bathroom. She takes very long to get dressed, so I'm sure I will be able to get the food ready on time, and it will still be steaming hot by the time she finishes and decides to come down.

I made the toast quickly, fried some eggs, squeezed fresh oranges, and made orange juice. Apparently, Hailey likes it freshly squeezed. They all trooped down immediately after I finished. They all sat down and I served them breakfast.

"Where is my change pauper? I'm sure you've never seen so much money in your miserable life," Hailey said, smirking evilly. I walked towards her and handed over her change which she snatched from my hands, almost injuring me with her long nails.

I went back to stand quietly in a corner watching them eat. They kept sending me on errands as they ate. When they finished eating, I quickly cleared the table.

"Fat pig! We are going out, to make sure you clean the entire house," Julian ordered.

I nodded my head looking scared, but I was backflipping and cartwheeling happily in my head. I knew they always went out unfailingly on Saturdays that was why I asked John to come after they left. I heard Julian's car drive out, and I happily skipped to my room and opened the back door for John, who had been waiting there.

I opened the door to see him standing with a cupcake and two 1 and 8 candles indicating my age. He started singing a birthday song, which had me laughing happily and clapping my hands. At the end of the song, he tried to hit a high note but failed miserably, making me double over and laugh.

"That was hilarious," I said, still laughing.

"It was, I'm never singing again, blow out your candles quickly," he prompted me.

I blew out the candles and we both clapped happily. We shared the cake and started eating.

"Thank you very much, I don't know what to say. I didn't think I would be able to have this much fun, I thought I would probably be alone" I said gratefully.

"It's fine, this is the least I could do since you will be leaving soon," he said, his gray eyes expressing his sadness.

"Don't be sad, you will know where I'm going to, and you can visit anytime you want," I said comfortingly.

"You are right. I'm thrilled for you Emma, you have really been through a lot," he says, smiling widely.

I have been through a lot. Eighteen whole years in this hellhole after my parents abandoned me to pay off their debts. I have gone through so much in this pack that I can't help but want to leave immediately.

"I have," I agreed, tears welling up in my eyes.

"Don't cry Emma, it's a happy occasion," he comforted me.

"I know, and I'm thrilled, these are not tears of sadness but tears of joy and happiness," I explained, wiping my face with my hands.

"I just can't believe this is really happening, the day I've impatiently waited for that I thought would never come to pass is finally here, I can finally leave all this behind and start a new life somewhere peaceful," I said dreamily.

"I told you everything would work out just fine in your favor," John said.

"And you were right, I can't wait to leave Hailey and all her hate-infested moves on me. I will also leave the triplets and their brutality behind," I muttered, eating my cake.

"I can't wait to wake up without seeing their faces or hearing them calling me awful names, it would be so thrilling. I think I would probably commemorate that day," I uttered.

"What about you? Have you thought of what you would do after high school?" I asked curiously.

"I think I'm just going to remain here, go to college and pick a side job or something. I haven't really thought about it, but all I know is I can't leave my grandma and go anywhere. She's all I have," he muttered thoughtfully, still eating his cake. I patted his shoulder comfortingly. I didn't truly understand how he feels, since I've not had someone so dear to me before. I didn't have a family who loved me or who I loved. I've always been alone, the closest person I've had in my entire life is only John. "When are you leaving?" he asked. "As soon as...," I stopped when I suddenly heard voices.

"Are they back already? Why did they come back so soon? They normally come back very late at night?" I rambled to John, really starting to panic. I listened closely but could not hear any voices again. I suddenly heard loud footsteps coming toward my room. "They are here," I mumbled, my heart beating wildly.

The door suddenly flung open and the triplets struggled to come in at the same time. They finally come into their huge bodies barely fitting in my small room. I was panicking, but I noticed something different in their gazes. They weren't looking at me with the usual disgust or hatred.

Instead, what I saw was, want?

What is going on here, I was starting to get perplexed.

"Mate," the three of them said simultaneously.

My wolf purred happily.

"All mine," I felt my mouth open and responded on its own accord.
