The next morning was very interesting. Kiba was plastered to my side and Alice was trying to smother her giggles.
"Morning rabbits." She started having a giggle fit while making breakfast.
"Oh and you've had sex with Tsume?" I tilted my head to the side. Her laughing immediately stopped and she blushed. "Oh, lighten up." I hugged her and her arm brushed my mark making me wince. "S dniom razhdjenia." Alice said in Russian then realized she hurt me.
"Sorry, what's there?" She pulled down my t-shirt.
"Nothing, Spasiba for the other comment." I said the word in Russian.
She gasped when she saw Kiba's teeth marks in my neck.
"Kiba was a little rough." I smiled sheepishly. Kiba grinned and hugged me from behind.
"I'm sorry." He apologized kissing the mark. "But that's how wolves mark their mates."
"Just be careful not to accidentally kill him." Alice scolded him.
"Just be thankful that wolves don't pee on each other to mark their mates." I joked.
"Agreed." Alice suddenly looked horrified at that possibility and reached out her arm to Kiba.
"No, we don't." Kiba said calming her down. I grabbed a knife and started to help Alice make breakfast.
"Happy birthday, Evan." Alexis walked downstairs and kissed me on the cheek. Alexis and Sammy spent the night here in case I had another meltdown.
"Thanks, Alexis." I hugged her and then continued making breakfast.
"I did, didn't I?" Kiba looked sick and slightly depressed.
"Did what, Kiba?" I walked over to where he was standing and put my arms around his waist. I knew he was talking about how he forgot my birthday.
"You know, I'm such a bad mate." Kiba buried his face in my neck.
"Kiba, fuck off." I brought his face to mine and kissed him lovingly. "I really don't care that you forgot my birthday." It stung a little bit.
"I care..." Kiba's blue eyes were so sad.
"You're the best present I've ever had." I hugged him again and heard Sammy go 'ahh'.
"I'm sorry." Kiba breathed and tried his best to calm down.
"I think last night was a brilliant present." I kissed his cheek and growled playfully.
"It's not right that I did this to you." Kiba sighed and I realized that he was really upset about this.
"Come on." I pulled him outside...
I opened my car door and ushered him inside. Once I got in I drove us to a large, secluded meadow a couple miles from the house. The meadow was surrounded by trees and nobody could see us. I parked and got out while Kiba did the same.
"You want to give me a present for my birthday?" I asked him point blank. It was nice to know that he cared so much about me.
"Of course." He whimpered. I ran to him and tackled him down.
"Then be yourself and spend the day with me being your wolfy self." I smiled and licked his cheek. Kiba rolled us over and started to lick me all over.
"This is a birthday." I sighed in pure bliss and well, Kiba saliva. "You worried for nothing."
"It's an important day for you, turning nineteen and all." Kiba looked sad again. Alice and I started school later than the others so we were older.
"So what? I told you, you are more important to me than some stupid day that only comes once a year, you are with me every day, best present ever." I made sure he got the point.
"Well, i won't forget ever again." Kiba nuzzled my neck and rested his head on my shoulder.
"I love you Ki-you smell, really good." I noticed it now, Kiba was radiating the most amazing scent ever. I breathed it in like it was suddenly going to disappear.
"I do?" Kiba cocked an eyebrow.
"Amazing." I breathed it in some more. "Do I smell good?"
"You always smell amazing to me but you're my mate, of course you smell amazing to me." Kiba eyed me.
"This is weird." I commented.
"I like it though." Kiba chuckled and I brushed hair out of his eyes.
"So do I." I said softly and felt myself drift off...
I woke up to the smell of blood. I panicked and bolted to my feet. "Kiba!" I yelled.
"Evan?" Kiba asked taking his muzzle away from a deer he caught. I sighed in relief.
"The smell of blood made me worry."
"Sorry, you want some?" He asked me. I tentatively walked over to the carcass.
Kiba tore a piece off for me. I took it and bit into the flesh, the metallic taste of blood filled my mouth and the meat was slightly tough. "Not bad." I smiled at him as he licked the blood from around my mouth. So together we polished off an entire deer with Kiba eating the really disgusting parts.
"I'm stuffed." I fell onto the car seat.
"I'm still hungry." Kiba said simply.
"No way, that was a whole deer!" I exclaimed.
"I eat a lot." He smiled and nuzzled me. I shrugged it off and drove us home. "Do I have to come out of the cake?" Kiba joked. I laughed and shook my head. This was going to be fun...
"Evan!" Sammy threw herself around me. "Happy birthday you little wolf lover, you." She giggled maniacally and handed me a present.
"If it's a vibrator then I don't want it." I looked at her.
"Whoops." She quickly took the present back and my jaw dropped.
"I had sex once! How did I become this person that must have had sex a million times?" I barked at them.
"Relax, Evan, I didn't get you a vibrator." Sammy smirked and gave me my present back.
I neatly slipped off the wrappings and then decided it was taking too long and tore it to shreds. I pulled a medium sized item out of its box.
"A gun?" I looked at her then loaded it.
"Military standard." Alexis added in. I nodded and fired a shot no doubt startling everyone.
"Thank you?" I cocked and eyebrow.
"For when Kiba's hormones bounce off the walls and you need to calm him down." Blue smiled.
"So I shoot him?" I grabbed Kiba's arm. He chuckled and put an arm around my waist.
"No, you threaten to shoot yourself." Alice was drawing me a map on what I should and shouldn't do with my own army pistol.
"I see." I was dead confused. Note to self: Get Alice to explain later.
"Next present!" Hige yelled...
So we opened presents and I got lots of cds and other items. A really good birthday. After we partied we all just sat in the living room. Alice stood up and raised her glass of whatever it was. "I think Evan is thinking the same thing that I am, about this year. You guys randomly pop into our lives, vandalize our house, move into said house, eat our food, go on vacation with us, fall in love with us, hide secrets from us, and reveal said secrets and party with us. I've never been so happy." Alice got a small tear in her eye as she giggled.
"I've always wanted a functional family. I didn't realize that some random people would affect my life so much to the extent that I am willing to die for anyone of them. "I stared at my glass of vodka. It was more like an entire bottle but we won't go into detail. Kiba lifted my face with his hand and smiled sexily at me. 'I love you' I mouthed to him.
"You guys didn't know my dad, Tarre Hunter, but he would have loved you guys to pieces. He was mad about Evan and treated him like family. My mother, Tahlia, she was always the loving person, ready to accept anyone into her family. I can't help but think how wonderful it would have been if they were still alive today." Alice took a deep breath and Tsume stood to hold her.
"So, to my best present ever, a family. Cheers." I lifted my glass. The others lifted their glasses as well and we continued to party as a family...
"Lady Jaguar is receiving a tidal wave of votes, could this be a winning lady? Find out soon. On to other news." Always Sweaty announced. I was sitting on the couch with a sleeping Kiba in my arms. I flicked off the TV. and focused on the sleeping adolescent wolf that was lying in my embrace. I scratched his back and rubbed his sides. He snuggled into me some more and went back to sleeping. I scooped him up in my arms, much to his dislike, and walked him up to the room. I nudged open the door with my foot and set him gently on the bed. I pulled the blankets up to his neck and kissed his head. What a night. I went into the adjoining bathroom and started running a bath. I shrugged off my shirt and tossed it in the laundry pile. I admired my mate mark in the mirror. So beautiful and perfect, just like Kiba. I glanced back at my wolf and smiled at how soundly he was sleeping.
"You're so vain." Alexis popped up behind me. I let out a huge breath and cussed at her.
"How did you in?" I glared at her. She giggled and stopped the bath water for me.
"I was in the shower, I thought it was my room. I think I had a bit too much to drink." She cackled like a retard.
"Good night, Alexis." I hugged her and helped her to the door. She hugged me again and left me to my bath. I laughed at her crazy antics. I slipped off my jeans and tossed them into the bedroom.
"I see how you look at her." A male voice hissed behind me...
"Kiba, I thought you were sleeping." I let out a sigh of relief. I moved to kiss him but he growled angrily. "What?" I put my arms on his shoulders.
"I see how you look at Alexis." Kiba slammed me into the bathroom wall. His claws dug into me and made me wince.
"Alexis? She was drunk, I found her in the shower." I tried to remove his arm from my chest.
"Does that mark mean nothing to you?" He fingered his mark and let some tears slip.
"It means everything to me but if you're not going to trust me then I don't want it!" I summoned my strength and pushed his weight off me.
"You're right, I don't trust you." Kiba looked at me with a new type of anger.
"Then get out of my room." I ordered him.
"We're not finished." Kiba snarled at me. Fuck this! I slammed Kiba backwards and pushed him into the bath. I grabbed his shirt and dunked him. I held him underwater for ten seconds and pulled him up. He coughed and sputtered. I dunked him again before he could regain his breath. Another ten seconds. I yanked him up and he took deep breaths. The tears were running down my face and I didn't even want to think about what would happen if I held him there too long. I dunked him another time and held him there for twenty seconds before pulling him up. He might die if I plunged him under again. After getting his breath back Kiba just looked at me blankly as if he didn't know I could something like this. I stifled sobs and gritted my teeth.
"I...How could...you?" I let the floodgates open and all my emotion spilled out like a river.
"Don't...ever...do that...don't leave me." I managed to choke out. "You can't..." I pulled him closer to me and buried my face in his neck. The tears dripped onto his neck and were masked by the surrounding water.
"That was scary." Kiba whispered to himself. I sobbed harder and tightened my hold on him. "That was the worst thing I've ever done to you." Kiba panted and held me back.
"It was. I forgive you but you have to trust me." I scolded him. Kiba broke apart and climbed out of the bath. He took off his clothes and sat in self-pity. I took off my jocks and climbed into the bath. "Kiba?" I asked him as I sat in the hot water blissfully unaware of the fact that I was actually bleeding from my shoulder...
"Yeah." Kiba breathed. I let my arm dangle out the bath so I could touch him.
"Come on, get in." I offered him. Kiba slowly got into the bath and lay back against me. "I love you." I wrapped my arms around him and kissed his neck, biting softly when I found a nice spot. "Hey Kiba, yes." I smiled and stared at the ceiling.
"Yes, what?" Kiba grabbed my hand in panic.
"Yes, I'll marry you." That was when Kiba started to cry...
Aww, sweet. *tears up* Please review...
Kiba: Do it for the kids!
JW: Okay? For the kids!
