Alpha's Mute Mate novel Chapter 57

"Mrs.Black how many people are we serving?"I asked not knowing how many pack members they have.

"Hmm some of them are busy so most likely they won't come so maybe around 400." She says smiling innocently.

Did she say 4...400?

What!

How big is this cake going to be?

"Mrs.Black I don't think us two will be able to create a cake for that big of a party." I say nervously.

"Lily how many times do I have to tell you call me Merlin, and also sweetie it's not just us two the female pack members will gladly help us."

Right..

I nod and followed her instructions.

She wasn't kidding around 40 pack members came to help us.

"Hello I'm Lily." I say slightly bowing.

I don't know how to act around them.

"She's Adrian mate right Merlin?" I nod looking at the 40-50 year old.

"How Lovely look how beautiful you are...A bit thin but we will give you enough food to make you grow up." She says winking at me.

"I'm kidding darling I'm Bertha nice to meet you." She smiles at me.

I nod smiling back at her and the other pack members behind her.

As we worked I really connected with Bertha she is really nice and very blunt.

"Hey Lily I'm sorry about my niece I know she gave you and Adrian trouble... I must've raised her wrong she turned out just like her mother a stupid whore." She says angrily whipping the home made frosting.

Does she mean Katherine?

"Bertha you're Katherine aunt?"

"Yep the one and only its sucked to see my younger sister become a whore and then her daughter. I feel ashamed that my family caused such problems to this pack." She sighs grabbing the vanilla extract.

"It's not your fault, you did everything that you could. Don't blame yourself." I say looking at her.

She nodded"Right I know you won't believe how many people told me that before you did, but I just feel ashamed I suppose.."

"Enough of this sad talk Lily pass me that bowl behind you let's get baking!" She says wiping a tear smiling.

I smiled and passed it to her.

No stories available.

"Alright the cake is done now we just need the frosting this is going to be fun girls!" I hear Mrs.Black yell grabbing all of our attention.

We've been working on this for 5 hours now.

We started around 7am and now it seems to be 11:36am so it been a while.

I see some of them grabbing the frosting and putting them in frosting bags cutting the tips.

Then others were laying the frosting to cover the cake.

I was trying to find the candle.

It was supposed to be a 10 white and light blue.

"Ahh there you are." I smile grabbing it from the cabinet.
