You had found out you were Azriel's mate years ago. Soon enough you confronted him and the two of you began dating.

Lately, you barely saw Azriel. The two of you caught up with work and missions. So when did get to spend time with each other it was...special.

You couldn't help the frown that curled in the corners of your mouth as you stared at the clock. It was your birthday and while you would have loved to go out to a fancy restaurant; both you and Azriel were too busy for that. Instead the both of you opted for a small dinner date at home. It was only getting later and later.

The hours passed as your birthday slipped away. It was almost eleven now. You couldn't help but feel disappointed as you began to clean up the plates of the now cold dinner.

You hear a slow click of the door as Azriel appears; a look of exhaustion on his face. "Sorry I was late. Elain needed my help." He excuses casually. He hadn't even remembered about the home dinner plans. He had forgotten that it was your birthday.
