Traitor

~10~

Waking up from a nightmareless sleep I slowly open my eyes smelling the faint scent of James lingering in my room. The warmth of his embrace is gone and I sigh deeply. Why do I have this strange longing feeling for him? I can't accept him in one night. I just can't
I step out of my bed feeling the need of another shower even though I have bathed the day before. I step into the shower pulling off my clothes and feeling the warm water go over my once cold body that is now warm. 'Your birthday is soon.' my wolf says and I freeze. 'Goddamnit.' I groan.

Birthdays have meant nothing to me. My family has tried to celebrate it but it is just another day of bullshit we deal with, so yeah I never really celebrated it.

'Good morning Charlie!' An overexcited Daniel says as I walk fully dressed into the kitchen. 'Soo Birthday Girl. You are going to celebrate it.' He says not asking and I growl at him. 'You know I don't do birthdays.' I say and he rolls his eyes. He gives me a plate with some bacon and eggs and I dig in happily. 'Charlie..' He sighs and I groan. 'Shut upp.' I say to him and he rolls his eyes. 'You are going to be eighteen soon. That is a big step for everyone. You are finally an adult.' He says and I sigh. 'Charlie. It is what your parents wanted. Since Mike always celebrated his birthday we will do it the same day as you do. We are gonna host a ball.' He says deciding everything already for me. 'Jesus Fine.' I groan finishing my plate of food and he smirks. 'Get a dress. I already texted Lilly that you are going to dress shopping.' He smirks and I nod. 'Okay..' I say and he sighs before going upstairs to his room.

'Bitch!' I hear through the pack house and I groan. The tsunami has arrived ladies and gentlemen. I see Lilly running into the kitchen before tackling me to the ground. 'You didn't tell me that you have a mate!' She yells into my ear and I growl pushing her off me. 'Please, Lilly it is still morning.' I say settling myself on a chair. 'Yeah, you were probably really busy with your mate.' She says winking at me and I growl. 'Okay, just no Lilly!' I yell at her and she laughs taking one of the remaining pieces of bacon out of the frying pan. 

'I know how it is to lose someone dearly so I get you have been busy and that your mate wasn't a really good time but my mate has got me happy too.' Lilly says referring to the incident a couple of years ago.

Her brother was killed by rogues that had let him into a trap and after that, she got really depressed. Since she was in a different pack and a different school I couldn't be always there for her being the busy shithole I am. She found her mate after a year and since then she became the happy girl she is today.

Lilly is just a typical girl but a little weird. Just a little... She likes dresses and she loves to shop. She hates getting dirty so she doesn't often let her wolf run in the dirty woods, only in the fields if it isn't muddy.

We walk out of the pack house into her white Mustang that stands proudly in the sun. 'Damnn girl.' I say smirking and she nods with a knowing smile.

'Since We are going shopping and Daniel has already informed me that you are holding a birthday party or a gala or something so we are getting sexy dresses!' Lilly says jumping into her car and I sit beside her groaning. 'So what kind of dress do you want?' She asks and I sigh. 'I really don't know Lil.' I say and she growls at me. 'Maybe a black dress referring to your stone cold and dark heart or a blue one that matches your eyes.' She says and I begin laughing. 'Kidding me?' I ask her and she rolls her eyes. 'You have a dark soul though.' She mumbles and I laugh at her. Sometimes.. Or a lot of times Lilly is really weird but that makes two of us.
