Chapter 6
As I stepped off the plane, the warm breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers, and the vibrant colors of the city welcomed me home. I felt a sense of revival wash over me as I gazed out at the endless expanse of the ocean. The flight had been long, but the excitement of returning home had kept me energized.
As I made my way through the airport, I spotted my family waiting for me, their faces beaming with joy. My brother was waving his hands while my father was smiling. My mom rushed forward, enveloping me in a warm hug.
“We’ve missed you so much!” she exclaimed, tears were visible in her eyes. My dad and younger brother smiled, their eyes crinkling at the corners.
I felt a lump form in my throat as I hugged them back, feeling a deep sense of gratitude for this moment. We had been

apart for so long, and I had missed them dearly. My parents weren’t in the favor of me leaving our pack. I had been spoiled by my family since childhood and because my wounds didn’t heal by themselves, my family was overprotective of me. But, I was love blind back then. I had a crush on my friend’s brother, Daniel, who often visited
our Pack house. I heard he had been
offered a job in New York. So, I made an excuse for my career and took my father’s permission to move there. Daniel was the son of Pack’s beta. So, my father called his
beta and told him to let his son be
responsible for my safety. My brother also asked him as his friend to take care of me. This way, I chased my puppy love and left my family behind. Now, recalling this made me sore and made me want to hug my family even more.
As we walked out of the airport, the warm sunlight on my skin felt like a blessing.
“Let’s go home and celebrate,” my mom said with a warm smile before adding, “I’ve

made your favorite dessert – lemon bars.”
My stomach growled in anticipation as we made our way to the car. The drive home was filled with laughter and chatter, and I felt my heart fill with joy.
As we pulled into the driveway, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I was home, surrounded by the people I loved. And in that moment, everything felt right with the world.
However, the atmosphere was not the same for Daniel. He laid leisurely on the couch in his room but his mind was not at peace. He was desperately waiting for my message of apology. He had promised an apology for his beloved.
He opened his social media to check if I sent him a message. His face sank, seeing no text from me. Instead, his gaze fell on the date showing on his phone’s screen. It was my Birthday. He had been celebrating my birthday with me for seven years. It wasn’t easy for him to ignore it even if his

beloved was back. He felt anxious, even angrier at me. He had made his statement that he would not talk to me unless I apologized to Winnie and I hadn’t apologized yet. Then, how would he celebrate my birthday?
There was a turmoil in his heart, not knowing what to do. In the end, he decided to give up his ego and celebrate my birthday first. He baked a cake for me and decorated his home. He was planning to call me over at his place and then surprise me with his preparation. After buying me a diamond necklace and checking if
everything was okay, he dialed my number. However, he was too late. My number went busy. He panicked and immediately went to a social media app, trying to contact me through a message. But, my name disappeared, instead ‘user name not found‘ appeared on his screen. I had blocked him from everywhere, leaving no
room for him to contact me.
