Chapter 38: No More Weakness

Olivia's POV

I looked around, realizing I was standing in the pack house backyard, decorated with twinkling lights and colorful ribbons. It was beautiful, almost magical, and my heart swelled with happiness.

My thirteenth birthday.

The triplets stood near the picnic table, their faces lit up with proud grins. Lennox was struggling to keep a banner from tangling while Levi arranged a plate of cupcakes shaped like little wolves, and Louis was busy lighting a small bonfire. The scent of roasted marshmallows filled the air, making my stomach growl.

Louis looked over his shoulder and caught sight of me, his eyes lighting up. "Well, too late. Birthday girl's already here."

All three of them turned, and I couldn't help but laugh at how flustered Lennox looked. They grinned at me, their faces softening as I stepped closer.

Levi shrugged casually, but his smile was warm. "Of course. You deserve the best, Liv. You only turn thirteen once."

Louis came up behind me and wrapped an arm around my shoulders, giving me a playful squeeze. "Plus, we figured you'd appreciate a party just for you. No adults. Just us and you."
