Just as we made our move to the garage so we could head to other places, Spid's phone began ringing. He quickly hung up the call. "Why did you not pick up the call?" I asked him. "No worries, ma'am; it's not an important call," he replied. "Well, if you say so," I responded, sighing and raising my eyelids. He walked over to the passenger side and opened the door for me to enter; however, I gave him a disdainful glare, and he quickly closed it. "I'm so sorry, ma, pardon," he apologized and rushed over to the driver's side and entered, while I opened the door and entered by myself. "You know their respective homes, right?" I questioned him. "Pardon, ma, whose homes?" he retorted. "The elders we are visiting for medical help, of course. That was the main reason I requested you should escort me and not those red carpet services," I replied, frowning. "Oh, is that so? Of course, I know very well—I know the residence of all the pack elders," he replied. "Good, let's storm off then.
YVONNE — The next day "Ammy," I called her, waking her up from sleep. Ammy was a short word derived from her real name, Amanda. I usually call her that when I know she is stressed out, so she can feel I care for her just as she does for me and my kids. She wailed, stretched her hand, rolled on the bed, and positioned herself to continue sleeping. "Amy, wake up; this is five o'clock A.M., and you're still sleeping," I remarked. Feeling disturbed, she hissed with dissatisfaction, "Who is that? What is it?" She yelled and opened her eyes. With drowsiness filling her eyes, she gazed at me. Upon realizing it was me, she sighed heavily, standing up from the bed. "I was really stressed out yesterday," she snapped, heading to the kitchen. "I have already warmed the food if that is what you're going for. You can now bathe and get ready, so immediately the clock's shortest arrow hit five and the middle arrow hit twenty-five. You should be done with everything, so once it hits six o'cloc
YVONNE — "What do you want from me, Sophia?" I stuttered, drawing my kids closely toward me. She first laughed sarcastically and sighed, glaring at me directly in the eyes. "So you're not yet afraid of me, Yvonne? After the life lessons I taught you six years ago, which might even be the reason you ran to the man who got you pregnant with these bastards," she remarked and laughed again. "Sophia, watch your mouth. My kids are not bastards, and their father is a renowned man, just so you should know," I rebuked her. She didn't respond but laughed again. "I see. A very interesting story," she finally replied, approaching me closely. "Sophia, what do you want from me?" I repeated, retreating backwards with my kids. If there is something I was not afraid of, it was engaging in a fight with Sophia; it wouldn't even cost me more than half a minute, and I'd send her lifeless on the floor. After all, I'm the daughter of the best beta of the Moonstone pack in history, so fighting skills and
CONAN —"Yeah, a good friend," I stuttered, forcing a smile."Kids, this is Alpha Conan. I believe you already met him the first day of our arrival," she remarked."Yes, Mom, he saved us from those kidnappers; he is a nice man," the little boy chimmed in."That's my favorite," I mumbled inwardly, feeling proud."Yes, dear, he's my very good friend," Yvonne added.Gosh, could she even stop referring to me as a friend? We were not friends; she's my ex-mate, for goodness sake. And she is the only thing I'm craving more than anything else on this earth."Not only that he saved us, he was also the one sending those gifts I usually bring home after work," she added, smiling."What do you say to him?" she asked them."Thank you so much, sir," they echoed in unison."You're welcome, lovelies," I responded, stretching out my hands for a handshake, and they responded."You all are amazing," I stated. "I'm Uncle Conan. Your mom and I have a history; we have come a long way that could..."Oh, yes
CONAN —I chuckled and ignored her question."Uncle doesn't want to answer the question. Okay, no problem. Could you take us to the chocolate store so we could have some ice cream?" Amelia chipped in."Okay, kids, let's stroll around the palace so you can tour the fascinating artwork," I stated.I don't have a clue on how to babysit kids because I have none, nor have I worked in an orphanage home. So I decided to go with the flow, which I did when Amelia requested ice cream."No, Uncle, let's play ball instead. I love playing ball more than anything else," Liam remarked."No, Uncle, instead of playing football, let's play a ludo game. You have that, don't you?" Kiara opposed."No, Uncle, I don't like that," Liam responded, his face frowning.I smiled and squatted at his level, holding his shoulder. "They are your sisters, aren't they?" I asked, and he nodded. "They are," he replied."Good. So would you like your sisters to stay idle and watch only two of us play the ball?" I added, an
CONAN —"Alright, kids. So here go the prizes," I remarked. "Give Uncle a few minutes, please," I stated, stood up, and left for my private room. I returned in a shot while folding my hand with something in it."So the prize you win lies in your hands; you're the one to choose," I stated."So what do we have to do, Uncle?" Liam asked."I'm going to open my palm to you, and there are papers in it, and the prizes are written on them," I replied."Okay, how do we go about that?" Amelia asked with curiousity on her face."You will pick the papers one after another according to your winning position," I replied."So Liam will be the one to pick first, followed by my sister Amelia before me, right?" Kiara requested."Absolutely," I replied, opening my palm."Now pick one," I said to Liam.He was hesitant for a few moments, sighing and smiling, contemplating which one to pick."Okay, I'll go with this then," he concluded, and he finally picked one."Good, hold it closed and don't reveal it
YVONNE — Spid drove into the palace and headed to the garage. As he halted, I alighted, feeling exhausted. It was a hectic day at work today. Although work here has always been hectic, today was extra hectic. After taking off to the airport in the morning to pick up the medicine Dr. Kylie Jennifer shipped for me, it turns out the plane she was told the medicine was packed in had a fault and did not take off anymore, resulting in transmitting the package to another plane, and the current one took off very late. Which resulted in us staying at the airport for many hours waiting for its arrival just to pick up the package. I went straight to the chamber to meet the kids; however, I was surprised none of them were there—not even Conan was there—and this nearly made me go insane. "Gosh, what was I thinking? Handing my babies under the care of Conan? Have I forgotten how he and his mother invited Sophia to the dinner party for reasons best known to them, just to tell me confusing words t
YVONNE — "I hope you did have a nice day at work today?" he questioned, his countenance epitomizing concern. "Good afternoon, Alpha Conan," I blurted out. "Good afternoon, Dr. Yvonne, the mother of the most amazing kids I have ever come across," he responded, letting out a smile. "Thanks," I replied with a smirk on my lips. "Although my greetings have nothing to do with my kids, I don't see the need for involving them," I added. "My bad, I was just amazed by their incredible characters and love for each other. You are really doing a nice job. Their father must be the happiest man on earth when he comes back from his trip," he responded. "Trip? Who told you their father went on a trip?" I was shocked. "Nothing, just misuse of words. I wanted to say when you guys come back from this trip," he reacted. At this moment, I sensed the curiosity on the kids' faces. There is no way I'm letting them stay here and listen to this conversation. I squatted to their height to talk to them. "
