Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

Chapter 120-2 "What was that for?" he asked.

"For being an amazing mate." "I will take it," he said and kissed me. He broughtback hto change for my party. "I guess you figured out it was what was happening today," he said as he helpedzip up my dress. It was white with big green leaves and gold details. It was loose fitting around the waist to make room for my growing belly. The pregnancy was showing, even if the bump was still small.

"I did," I admitted. "But you were all being so sweet and committed, so I didn't want to spoil it for you." Finlay chuckled and kissed my neck as he sneaked his arms aroundand placed his hands on my stomach.

"They have been planning your distractions for weeks," he told me.

"It makesfeel special," I said.

"You are special, and I'm happy you don't feel disappointed the surprise was spoiled." "It's not spoiled. I still have no clue what you have arranged. I just know it's something." Finlay tookto the glade in the woods where we had most of our celebrations. It was decorated with lanterns and flower garlands. The fire was burning and there enough food on the tables to feed a small army. Luckily, that was about the size of the pack.

"Surprise!" Everyone shouted as we cwalking and I laughed. I had a wonderful evening as Finlay and I walked around. I got to look at the two newest members of the pack. Little Jackson was Emile and Hudson's and his big sister was proud as she toldshe helped her parents to care for him. Ramses proudly handed his daughter May over to me. Kayla was smiling next to him.

"She is precious," I told them as I gently rocked the month old pup.

"When she is happy, she is an angel," Ramses said.

"My mate thinks our daughter has inherited my temper. I don't know what he is alluding to," Kayla told us. We laughed and I handed the pup back.

'You looked good holding the pup,' Finlay mindlinkedwhen we walked to grab another piece of cake. I was obsessed with the red velvet cake Matilda had made for me. I smiled at him.

'It's a little scary to think that in less than four months we will have one of those to take care of,' I answered. 'It's mind blowing. I need to make sure everything is fixed by then." "The nursery is almost done, I think we have what we need for the first months at least and we will have the pack and our friends to support us. I don't know what else we need,' I linked him.

'I need to fix the issue with my brother's pack and I need to make sure we have a plan for our pack,' he told me.

I appreciate your determination, but I don't think we will be able to broker world peace before I'm due.' He smiled atand made sure I got a big piece of cake.

'You'll never know unless you try,' he said. After we, well, I, had eaten the cake, we danced and spent twith our friends.

"Ready to head out?" Finlay askedjust after midnight. I nodded. was a lot sleepier nowadays and the thought of snuggling up. to Finlay in bed sounded like a perfect ending to a perfect night. We said goodbye to everyone. *Finn, the house is that way," I told him as he had grabbed a box with cake from Matilda and ledinto the forest.

I know where our house is," he said.

"Then why are we going in the other direction?" I asked.

"We are not sleeping at htonight." "We're not?" "No we're not. I haven't given you your birthday gift yet," he said. He tookdeep into the woods, to where the mountains reached upwards. The summer night was warm and it was nice walking hand in hand with my mate. Suddenly, Finlay stopped and pointed up at the mountain. Just over the treetops there was something glowing on the mountain face.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Calong," was all he told me. He tookup a path which went up the side of the mountain, it becnarrower the farther we went. In the end I had to walk behind Finlay. "Happy birthday," he toldand took a step to the side. In front ofwas a cave opening. I could see two small camping lights inside the cave. "We are camping?" I asked, sounding as thrilled as I was at the idea.

"We are. I know it's not an exotic vacation. But no one knows exactly where we are. The pack knows Jake and Shelly are in charge until tomorrow afternoon. Until then, it's just you andin this cave. We can talk, eat cake, and have sex as much as we want." I looked up at him with wonder. It had been a long tsince I had been that free from responsibilities and even longer for him.

This is amazing! Thank you, Finn. It's the best gift ever," I told him and Eltold kissed himdong and deeply. As we drew apart, he smiled at 1. me.

"I will give you anything you want. I may not always do it in the traditional way, but I will find a way." He was just so perfect it was hurting my heart. "Givetwo minutes," he said and headed inside the cave. I took a gave moment to admire the view. We were high enough up that we could see most of our land. The river was close to us and on the other side of it most of the packland stretched out. I could see the faint glow of the village and the night sky twinkled with stars. It was breathtaking. Finlay called forand when I walked into the cave, I saw he had placed and lit candles all around the walls. The two camping lights were turned off and in the back of the cave, he had prepared a thick air mattress with blankets and pillows. "I'm lost for words," I told him as I stood and looked around, taking everything in. He was watchingintently.

"Do you like it?" he asked.

"I love it," I said with a sob. My emotions overwhelmedand to my horror I started crying.

"Sweetheart!" he exclaimed and drewinto a tight hug. I clung to him while crying on his shoulder.

"It's perfect," I managed to say between sobs. "Happy tears." He hummed and rockedback and forth.

"Please stop crying. I can't stand it. I promise we can sit outside and m watch the view and have the cake we brought, he told me. I had to giggle in the middle ofcrying. My emotions were beginning to stabilise. "That sounds like my birthday last year. I liked that," I said. He kissed me.

"So did I. But this year we won't stop when we cto the fun part mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
