Chapter 18 Seleste- Birthday Breakfast

• It’s the morning of my birthday. This year, it’s a little bittersweet. We are having the big birthday party to celebrate all ten of us born within days of each other. It has been a tradition for us to have a pack wide party every year since we were all 1 years old. I used to look forward to this party every year. It is like a holiday for our pack. It is a celebration of the next generation of leaders for the pack, a sort of celebration of continuity. There has always been some sort of celebration for every generation since the pack began. So why is it bittersweet? Because I know this year will be different. Trevor will take this opportunity to pay me back for the offense he imagined. I really don’t know what Trevor’s issue is anymore. This goes beyond our training match. It seems like he actually hates me and does not want me in this pack anymore. Honestly, I am ready to move on to a pack that will appreciate the blessing having me in their pack brings. A real big part of me wants to leave and see how well the pack does without my protection, but any even bigger part of me loves my pack members, so I will not let them suffer needlessly. I’ll just have to find a way to block Trevor’s attack, just like I’ve blocked all of his other attacks.
• As I’m lying in my bed planning my counter moves, my mom and dad come to my room singing happy birthday. My mom is holding a Red Velvet mini cake in her hands. Yes! Red Velvet is my favorite.
• “Happy birthday, Sweet Pea.” My dad says.
