I Claim Your Love

Chapter 7: A Birthday to Regret

The Alpha had invited the entire village as it was a special occasion for the Knights. Not only was his only son turning sixteen but also he was now eligible to search for his mate. Unlike other wolves an Alpha wolf can recognize their mate at the age of sixteen and not the usual eighteen. Everyone seemed excited by the thought of having a new Luna in the pack.

Huge amount of wood and bales of straw were gathered in the centre of a large open ground. It was time for the festivities to begin. However Einar was still vexed at the disappearance of his soother. He looked around the cheerful faces of his fellow mates and other members of the pack among whom were some pretty girls who vied for his attention. They hoped for being the new Luna of the pack. But Einar did not care for any of them. His mind was clouded by thoughts of someone else. He was in such a sour mood that instead of being the merrymaker he could lash out his anger to anyone who approached him at that moment. Even Garrick was keeping his distances from a foul mood Einar.

He missed Callan.

He took it upon himself to know the whereabouts of the boy. He pushed his mind link to the head warrior hoping for some answers.

Hello Justus. Is everything alright with the security? Do you need my help?

Everything is perfect here Einar. You need not worry.

Have the guests arrived yet?

The chiefs of some villages have already arrived while the others are on their way. I have mind linked them all, they will be here soon.

Einar was finding it difficult to ask Justus about Callan. It was like asking a girl's father for his permission to court his daughter. This was weird for him. The awkwardness was there but the curiosity to see Callan was showing dominance now.

Could you please send Callan to the arsenal? I wanted to show the place to my friends. I want to make sure everything is organized.

Callan has not arrived yet. I will send Peter to do the job don't worry.

Einar did know that Callan was not present here but he wanted to assess the reason for it.

Actually I was insisting for Callan because he knows the place better; but if he does not want to do the job then its fine..

That's not the case Einar. Callan has been visiting his friends in the mountains and the human village. But he assured me that he would reach the Alpha house before the feast begins.

Einar knew exactly where the boy was and he hated it. It was his so called best friend who used to always stick with him. The boy spent almost all of his time with his friend when not in the alpha house. One could smell the were-bear all over Callan and that aggravated Einar. Just thinking about the boy with someone else was making his blood boil. His beast was restless and wanted out. Einar thought it would be best if he calms the beast and return for the celebrations later.

He was about to turn when he bumped into someone and clumsily fell on that person. Both of them were on the ground with their torsos kissing each other. Einar's mood saw a dramatic change; he was pleasantly content from within. He knew that only one person could bring these alterations in him.

It was Callan.

His hair was in disarray, his skin was pale and smooth while his eyes were staring at his culprit; at Einar. It was a perfect piquant situation for Einar. He could not help but stare at the alluring deep green eyes. He was perfect.

When Einar heard some commotion around he regained himself and quickly stood up. "Watch where your going Ashton. I hope your not blind." Einar spat with venom in his mouth and pain in his heart. On the other hand Callan could not believe that instead of apologizing the egoistic douche was blaming him.

He did not want to show his teary eyed face to anyone. He reluctantly composed himself and with his head hung low, he moved in front of Einar.
