his
breath away.
“Let's sing the
birthday song!” Curtis hollered.
“Oh yeah!” Connor
agreed. “One, two, three...Happy birthday to you! Happy
birthday to you...”
The whole clan belted out the
birthday song with gusto. The singing was loud and enthusiastic,
rousing and completely out of tune.
But to Dalton, it was the
most beautiful, joyful sound.
Joyce put the cake down on
the table and went to kiss him on the cheek. “Make a wish,”
she smiled.
He looked up from his mate's
sparkling green eyes, and saw his family and clan all gathered around
him. These were people who stood by him, supported him and loved
him. And they were all here to share his joy and his life.
Taking a deep breath, Dalton
smiled and said, “I already have everything I've ever wished
for. But...I'm not going to waste my birthday wish.” He
paused and said solemnly, “I wish to have a slice of this
delicious cake.”
The whole clan cheered when
Dalton blew out all the candles in a single breath.
Dalton held his mate's hand
and grinned. “Now to make my wish come true. Let's cut the
cake!”
