The Love of a Lycan-Chapter 1110: Side story: birthday gift

Calleb had been running around, busy asking people about the best birthday gift that they ever gave to their mates and the answers were annoyingly varying.

Some people would say their mate loved it if they gave them a gold ring or jewelry, yet Calleb knew that Arabela was not the type of girl who enjoyed wearing those things.

And some people would say it didn't matter what they gave since the thought that counted and of course the way they treated them, yet it didn't satisfy Calleb, he wanted to gift his mate with something memorable on her birthday.

Of course, Calleb had treated Arabela like the most precious thing in the world for him. He knew the devastating pain of losing one's mate and he didn't want to walk into that hell again.

Therefore, he did everything in his power to make Arabela happy, even trying all the things that he never had a chance to do with Rossie during their short time together.

"She will like everything that you give her," Jack said. He patted Calleb's head and then sat across from him. "Even if you just give her broccoli."

Calleb threw the Gamma a glare. "I will not give her broccoli. She hates vegetables."

Jack laughed when he saw Calleb pursing his lips before grabbing his hair out of frustration. This was her first birthday after they started this relationship and it was only two months since they met with each other.

"Why don't you just give yourself?" Jack wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. "I can help you wrap a pink ribbon around? your head and you can hide inside a big box."

That comment was rewarded with a hard knock on his forehead.

The Beta and the Gamma were discussing about this topic in the kitchen while having their dinner after a long day of working.

There was no one around, except for the two of them with their bowls full of food.

"I have given her all my heart, soul and body," Calleb said proudly and Jack snorted upon hearing this. "I want to give her something special."

"Then I guess she finds nothing special about your heart, soul and body," Jack laughed at his own joke and this made Calleb throw a piece of bread at him, yet Jack caught it in time before it hit his face and stuffed it in his own mouth. "Don't stress yourself on this matter, I believe she will love everything you give to her."

Calleb groaned. "I know… she is very sweet and never asks for anything… but, I want to do more for her."

Jack clicked his tongue. "You are a helpless man…" 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

Right at that moment, Torak walked into the kitchen and found his Beta in a gloomy mood. "What happened to him?" the Alpha asked, as he nodded toward Calleb.

"He is on the verge of breaking down," Jack replied dramatically.

"Hm?" Toran went to the kitchen because Raine wanted to eat apples while they were watching a movie. It was a rare occasion for them to have such a moment together, since Aurora slept early.

Even though now she had her own room, she kept fussing over anything and everything. The little girl didn't want to sleep alone.

"He is stressing himself over the gift that he wants to prepare for Arabela on her birthday next week," Jack informed Torak.

The Alpha raised his brows at Calleb and then walked toward the fridge to take some apples. So, the rumor was true that Calleb had been asking around about this stupid question. At this rate, Torak wouldn't be too surprised if his mate already knew what he was up to.

"Torak what do you think? What is the most important and memorable gift that you ever gave Raine?" Calleb asked him and Jack listened closely.

"All my gifts are important and memorable," Torak answered lightly. "I think you know better what gifts I gave her."

Both Calleb and Jack grimaced when they remembered what those gifts were.

A very fancy birthday party, an apartment, shares in the top companies, an island, a vast piece of land, jewelry… well, they didn't want to count anymore… Torak was very generous with his gifts…

Maybe Calleb should change his question.

"What will Raine want to have the most for her birthday?" he asked again, this time he didn't want to see from the givers point of view because that was not helping at all.

On the other hand, Torak tilted his head, thinking about what Raine really wanted… for as long as he remembered, Raine had never asked him for anything.

"Raine had never asked me for anything for her birthday. She likes everything that I gave her," Torak contemplated and now he realized that Raine rarely asked him for anything and it had been a while since Torak gave her a surprise gift.

Maybe a week of honey moon would be good. They weren't able to find enough time for a vacation after having Kayden.

"I know, she will never ask for anything from you since you will give her before she even asks for it." Calleb sighed and continued eating his dinner.

"Actually, she once asked for something for her birthday," Torak recalled.

"What? What is it?" Calleb and Jack asked almost at the same time. They looked at Torak expectantly.

"She wanted me to mark her on her special day," Torak said truthfully, that was the only request that Raine had ever made for her birthday.

"Huft!" Calleb was annoyed. He remembered clearly about that. Actually, it was him, who instigated Raine to be marked by Torak and when she finally got him to do it, it didn't go that well. "I marked Arabela an hour after we met."

"So hasty," Jack commented.

"I hope I knew her birthday was only two months away, then I would have definitely waited…" Calleb said regrettably. He had to admit that he had been too hasty.

"I heard this myth," Torak said. "If a male lycan, who has not yet found their mate, bites your mate then the mark would disappear."

"Is there a myth like that?" Jack contemplated.

Calleb furrowed his brows.

"Maybe you can give it a shot, so you can re-mark her." Torak shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and walked out of the kitchen while saying. "Jack is still mateless."

"Torak!" Calleb growled.
