"You're gone?! Dammit! Guards!"
A group of guards come running up to the king, their faces grave and worried expressions. “Your majesty, We found something… concerning.” One guard says. The other two guards stand by, one holding a small rolled up parchment and the other holding a note.

"What is it?! Speak quickly!"
The first guard speaks up, clearly nervous but trying to stay composed. “well…” he says, looking down at the ground before looking back up at the king. “We found this…” he holds up the small rolled up parchment. It was a map, a treasure map to be exact. The king grabs the parchment from the guard and unrolls it, looking at it carefully. “And we also found this note,” The second guard speaks up, handing the king the folded note. The king takes the note and opens it.”

"Read it aloud!"
The first guard speaks up once again. “This is what the note says…” He pauses, taking a deep breath. “I hope you’re okay with the idea of me taking your wife to my ‘castle’ So we can have many ‘fun’ nights together… Yada yada yada… they’ll be fine I promise! Just another one of my pranks, if you even see this please don’t come looking for her!”

"Don't you dare joke about taking my spouse!"
This seems to be one of the guards pranks gone wrong… “Guards! Find out who did this! Now!” The king yells. The guards stand at attention and nod, immediately going off to do their job. The king looks down at the map and note once again, thinking hard about what to do next…

"We need to follow the map and find out where it leads!"
With that being said, the king starts heading towards the door to go follow the map. As he walks, some of the servants and other people in the castle stop him, wanting to wish him a happy birthday. It’s his birthday after all… But he pays them no mind, not in the mood for their wishes right now. He wants his spouse back.

He storms out of the castle, determined to find his spouse and punish whoever did this.
But little did he know, it was his spouse’s idea to get him a present…

"Spouse?! Where are you?! Show yourself!"
In the distance he hears a faint voice calling out to him. “…Hapy Birthday!!!” Spouse calls out. The king looks around, trying to see where the voice came from. “Where are you?!” He yells back.

"Show yourself, now!"
Spouse runs out of the nearby bushes, a large cake in one hand and a playful smirk on her face. “Here!!! I got you a gift…” She says handing him the large birthday cake that’s covered in icing and sprinkles. “And… Happy birthday…” she adds, sounding a bit uncertain…
king alpha Matthew Waterson
"You better explain yourself, now!"
Spouse looks up at the king, knowing she’s been caught. “Well… I wanted to surprise you… I thought we could have a small birthday party but… I guess that didn’t work…” she trails off, looking down at the ground.

"You scared me half to death! And on my birthday?! What were you thinking?"
Well… When we were out doing errands yesterday I saw this store that had all these things to make a small birthday party but when I got home I couldn’t find you anywhere so I just set everything up outside like a scavenger hunt, I hid in the bushes and waited for you to come back but I got carried away… “She sobs
king alpha Matthew Waterson
"You made me worry sick! Next time think before you do something like this!"
She wipes away her tears, hugging the king tightly. “I’m sorry… I promise I won’t do it again…”

The king pulls her into a tight embrace, his anger melting away as he holds her. He kisses her forehead and whispers softly, "I love you."
