Blood Alpha Chosen Mate Series 1

A Gift for You

Wren's POV

Ralph opened the passenger car door and extended his hand toward me, a warm smile on his face. "We're here, Wren," he said.

I placed my hand in his and stepped out of the car. Since we started dating two years ago, this marked my first visit to his pack, the Lightcrest Pack.

Before me lay a sprawling garden with winding paths and wooden benches, inviting people to relax and admire the natural beauty.

The air was infused with the sweet scent of blooming flowers.

I looked up to see a magnificent palace-like residence at the end of the path. Orange lights shone through the windows, casting a mesmerizing glow that I am sure is even more stunning at night.

Ralph gently guided me down the central path. Our relationship began when I met him at a grand banquet two years ago. He held a champagne glass, engaging in conversations with others. His gentle demeanor immediately caught my attention, and before I knew it, I was drawn to him. It was as if fate intervened when our eyes locked.

Since then, we have been meeting regularly and have grown closer. Our connection deepened, and we eventually started dating. Throughout those years, we never had a single argument. Ralph had always been considerate and kind, a true gentleman.

We walked down the path, but my attention was soon drawn to three individuals seated on a bench not far ahead. In the middle was a man surrounded by two women, one with blonde hair, the other a sultry beauty. The man leaned forward to nibble on the blonde woman's ear while the other woman began to stroke his thigh.

Embarrassed, I averted my gaze, but before I could, the man looked up, locking his striking blue eyes with mine. They were like Ralph's captivating sapphire eyes. As he straightened up, it dawned on me that this man was Hayden, Ralph's brother, whom he had mentioned before. He arched an eyebrow as if about to say something, but Ralph swiftly hugged me, blocking Hayden's view.

The two women respectfully greeted Ralph, followed by Hayden's somewhat teasing salutation. Ralph replied calmly and led me away from the scene.

"Wren," Ralph spoke, breaking the silence.

I looked up at him. "Yes?"

"Remember what I told you earlier. Try to avoid Hayden as much as possible."

"I remember, Ralph."

"Good. " He smiled and affectionately pinched my cheek before leading me into the house.

As we walked, the servants offered friendly greetings, to which I nodded in acknowledgment. Ralph led me to the ground floor's living room, spacious and illuminated by floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the breathtaking scenery. He planted a kiss on my forehead.

"Wait for me here. I also have a gift for you."

"But you haven't accepted the gift I prepared for you yet."

He smiled gently. "Can you hold off for two more days? I want my first birthday gift to be from you."

I chuckled, feeling a slight blush on my cheeks. "Alright, I'll wait for you here."

Another gentle kiss on my forehead, and Ralph ascended the nearby staircase. Bored, I turned my attention to the garden outside the window. Soon, I heard footsteps approaching from the doorway.
