"Rise and shine, birthday girl!"
My eyes jolted open the second I heard that voice close to my ears, but then I shielded my face with my hands when the morning sun shone on my face.
I groaned softly, a small smile curling up my lips when I saw Kaelos hovering over me, already dressed in a simple black jacket and a pair of blue jeans.
The same blue jeans I bought for him a while ago that he'd told me dead in the face he'd never wear.
Seeing that alone was enough to make my heart melt as I made myself sit on the bed, adjusting the bed clothing and clutching it to my chest.
"September eighth already?" I blinked weakly as he sat on the bed beside, wrapping an arm around my body. "Thank you so much, Kaelos. I never imagined you'd go out of your way to remember after all the war planning we've been doing since that day."
When Kaelos commanded every Alpha in attendance at the convergence to remain in the event hall until they pledge their allegiance… he meant it.
