I ran around in the garden with my son.
Heughed as I pretended to fall when he caught me before I wrapped my arms around him, pulling
him to my chest.
I tickled his stomach, and kissed it before allowing him to stand. Heughed and shook his head at me
before letting out a yful growl and jumping at me as a cub would to his mother.
I wrapped my arms around him, pulling him to my chest before the two of us looked at one another. I
didn’t imagine my life without my little one, and I knew that I was going to be thankful for him being
around me, now, forever, and until I take myst breath. He was the only family that I truly had, and
regardless, he was MY baby, my little treasure.
“I love you, mama.” He said, making my heart swell. I kissed his cheek and purred, it was something
that he always loved me doing, before pulling away to look at him.
“I love you too, mama’s little angel.” I whispered. The two of us looked at one another before we stood
just as the car, Enzo’s, pulled over by the front door. Katherine, who looked more proud than ever,
stepped out of the car first, then Alonso did. Enzo, despite me knowing that he was in the car, stayed
back.
“Aren’t youing, Enzo?” Katherine asked, pouting her lips. “We have our children to announce. Any
Alpha would be more than proud of doing so.”
“You go, Katherine. I have work to take care of.” He said, and she frowned.
“We just found out that we would be having our twins, and you choose to want to leave? Come on,
Enzo, just for today, whatever it is, you can wait.” She said. I shook my head, snapping myself out of
what I was hearing. It wasn’t fight to intervene on what didn’t concern me. Plus, they were a couple,
what went on with them should stay between them.
“Ashton, Auntie ria!” Alonso called, running toward us. I smiled as I looked at the little boy. He ran to
my arms, hugging me tightly, and I could swear that Enzo and Katherine’s

conversation stopped the second they heard their son calling me. “We are going to be a big brothers to
TWO babies!”
“Twins?” I asked, and he nodded excitedly. I smiled and nodded at the little boy, watching as his mother
walked toward us.
“I believe that you didn’t expect that.” She said, and I shook my head.
“Judging by the fact that I heard no heartbeat in your stomach, yes, I didn’t expect that.” I said, giving
her a quick wink. “But congrattions. I am sure that your mate would be very happy to know that he is
going to have two new heirs.”
She looked at Ashton for a second then at me, her eyes meeting mine for a moment before she shook
her head.
“Yes, of course. He is going to have two of his heirs, and I am going to be sure that they grow by their
father’s side, within the pack.” She said, and I nodded. I tried to listen for a heartbeat, but there was
none. Whatever she was on about, I didn’t understand, but I knew that all was going to be exposed
eventually.
“Alonso,e inside. You have homework to tend to. You know, you missed school, and there is a lot
for you to do. You are going to need to put in some extra effort to at least be able to understand what
was exined in ss.” Katherine said, and Alonso shook his head.
“Auntie ria can help me if I don’t understand anything. She and Ashton study every day right after
supper. And I got my highest grade in the lesson that she exined to me.” He said, and my eyes lit
up.
“That’s amazing news!” I said, and he nodded.
“Yes! I wanted to show it to you. I got a full mark and an extra star too!” He said, growing more excited.
I smiled and cupped his cheeks as I got down on my knees in front of him. I kissed his forehead, and
he smiled.
“You can show it to me when youe to the suite to study. But right now, you are going to have to go
to mama. If she asks you to do something, you shouldn’t be stubborn.” I said, my voice softening as I
looked at the boy. His eyes widened and he looked down at his feet, avoiding my gaze. “Promise me
that this is going to be thest time I see something like this. You are going to be a big brother to two
little ones, and you are Ashton’s big brother.

You are going to need to be a role model. Your siblings have to look at you and follow your path. You
don’t want them being naughty, do you?”
“No, Auntie ria. I am sorry.” He said, and I smiled. I looked at Katherine, watching as her eyes
hardened. The woman was clearly angry and I knew and could tell that she wasn’t expecting that as a
reaction from her son or me at the fact.
“Good, now go and apologize to mama. You cane to the roomter this afternoon and if there is
anything that you don’t understand, I’ll help exin it.” I said, my voice. softening. “And during our
breaks, we can y a small game. You know, something that would help you focuster instead of just
studying, what do you think?”
“YES!” He said, growing more excited. I smiled and nodded, watching as he took a step back to his
mother. Katherine kept her eyes on me as she ushered her son to go inside, not even bothering to
show him any emotion. His eyes met mine and he waved goodbye, I did the same as I stood to look at
Katherine.
“I don’t understand what it is that you’re trying to prove. Not to my son, nor to my husband.” She said,
and I scoffed.
“I don’t need to prove anything, neither to you, your husband, or child.” I said, looking the woman dead
in the eye. “I suggest that you check your own habits just as fast as you need to check for a doctor.”
“Why on Earth do I need to check for a doctor?” She asked, growing anxious. I looked down at her
stomach before shaking my head. I knew for fact that I was able to hear my baby’s heartbeat long
before I went to check on him in the hospital. The fact that there should be. not one, but two different
beats and yet, none could be heard was odd.
“Only you can answer that question. But by the looks of your expression, I believe that you. already
know my answer…” I said, taking a step back. “Your son is waiting for
