A gift from Lycan Prince Cross

The moment Ethan left the room Illebaye took out her phone and made a call to Uriel.

Within a few rings the phone was answered.

Hello, Uriel asked

Are you still at your brother's mansion? Illebaye asked

No, I won't go there again. Am at my mate's place. Uriel answered

Alright. Illebaye said

Any problem? Uriel asked

I told Ethan the truth about his dad. Illebaye said

What? Uriel asked

Yes Uriel, I told him the truth if not my brother's Mate would have told him the truth. Illebaye said

Am sorry about that. Do you want me to come over? Uriel asked

No, I am fine. I am just happy that I was able to tell him the truth about his father. Illebaye said

And how did he react? Uriel asked

That is what is surprising me right now. Illebaye said

What do you mean by you are surprised? Uriel asked

When I told Ethan the truth he didn't react to Uriel. He was just so calm infact he behaved too big for his age. Illebaye said

I am happy that he was understanding. You know it was just the both of you all through so he had to grow up. So I won't somehow doubt what you just told me. Uriel said

Uriel you are not understanding me. I want my little baby back. I don't want him to grow quickly. Illebaye said while looking sad.

You don't need to bother yourself because no matter how big a child grows he or she will never be too big for their mother. Uriel said, trying to console her best friend.

I know that I am just worried that maybe it's all my fault my son is now bigger than his age. Illebaye said

Listen to me, it's not your fault, and you should never think that everything is your fault because it is not.

Trust me when I say you are the best mother for Ethan and he loves you so much that is why he decided to be able to protect both of you. Uriel said

Thanks so much Uriel, you have really put my mind at peace. I thought it was my son's fault. Illebaye said

No, don't ever think like that again. Alright? Uriel asked

Yes. Illebaye answered.

Alright, let me leave you alone. I need to prepare food for my mate. Uriel said

Ohh! I am sorry for taking you time and disturbing you with my problems. Illebaye said

Girl, why are you talking like that? Have you forgotten we are friends? And the last time I checked you were the person who was mad at me for not telling you my problems with your brother.

Alright, fine I agree and I am sorry for saying that. I will just leave you to cook before your mate comes back and there is no food. Illebaye said

And see who is trying to amaze me? Uriel said

Abeg, we will speak later. Go and cook. Illebaye said and ended the call.

Uriel never ceases to amaze me. Illebaye said and she got up from the bed and walked out of her son's room.

Ethan, why are you the only one downstairs for lunch where your mother is? Mrs. Brook asked the moment Ethan Jnr sat down on his chair.

Mom, there is no need for you to ask the little boy about his mother. We have been waiting for them for a while now and my baby in my stomach is hungry. Let's just eat. Tolani said to her mother-in-law

Will you shut up your mouth? Mr. Ethan Snr asked

Ethan, don't mind your aunty alright? So tell us where your mother is?

Grandpa, mom said she will be Joining us soon.

Are you sure son? Because when she left she was very mad at us, after what your aunt did to the both of you.

Grandpa, you worry so much. You don't need to bother yourself because mom will be joining us soon.

Talking about my mom, here she comes grandpa. Ethan said and everyone turned to have a long at his mother.

Illebaye walked to the dining table and sat down.

Dear, we are sorry about what happened. Illebaye's mother said

Is okay, mom. Tolani was right, my son had to know the truth about his father.

And I must thank Tolani for giving me that courage to be able to tell my son the truth because if you didn't try to tell him the truth I wouldn't have had the courage to tell him.

Thanks so much Tolani. Illebaye said to her elder brother's Mate while looking at her.

It's fine, can we atleast eat now? Tolani asked

Sure. Also, don't forget you have to serve all of us here our food. Illebaye's mother said to Tolani.

Alright mom, she got up and served Mr. Ethan Snr food and then Mrs. Ethan. Before walking to Illebaye to serve her.

There is no need for that. You can serve your food and I will serve the food of both my son and I. Illebaye said.

Alright. Tolani said and served her food and sat down to eat while Illebaye got up and served her son food before her own.

Thanks so much mom. Ethan Jnr said

It's fine dear. There is no need for you to thank me. You are my little man. So I have to take care of you by myself. Illebaye said

Alright mom. Ethan Jnr said and started eating alongside everyone at the dining table.

By the way Tolani, please where is my brother? Illebaye asked

He stepped out. He told me he has some work to complete and he will be coming back soon. Tolani answered.

Alright. Illebaye said and started eating her food.

There was total silence at the dining table; only the sound of the utensils were making noise.

And the silence occurred throughout till the end of Lunch.

What are your plans now for you and your son? Illebaye's father asked her

Well,. Dad after a second thought I have decided that we are not going back to New York. Illebaye said

Are you serious dear? Her mother asked

Yes mom.

I know this decision of mine will somehow affect Ethan because most of her friends are in New York, his school.

But I am very positive that within sometime he will be able to have more friends here and I am going to send him to the best school around our pack. Illebaye said

Mom, what about you and your job? Ethan Jnr asked.

It's fine son. I already resigned before coming here. So I am going to look for a job around the pack. Illebaye said

Mom,what if you don't find the job? Ethan asked

Listen son, I am a good doctor. So there is no way I will be jobless for long. Even moon goddess won't allow that to happen. Illebaye said

Alright mom. And you don't need to worry about anything you decide to do. I will support you mom. Ethan said

Thanks so much son. Illebaye said and hugged her son.

Honey, do you know our grandson is so brave and mature? Illebaye's mother said to her husband.

I know that. He is brave just like his grandpa. And I am happy because I know she will be able to take care of his mom when the time comes. Mr. Ethan Snr said

Yes grandpa, I will take care of mommy. Adi won't let any fly to hurt her. Ethan Jnr said

Thanks son. Illebaye said to her son. And don't worry because we will be protecting each other.

Alright mom. Ethan said

Greetings sir,

Greetings madam. One of the maids walked in and greeted my parents.

Greetings. What do you want? My mother asked after entering her greetings.

Actually madam, there is someone outside who is looking for Miss Illebaye. The maid said

Dear, are you expecting anyone? My mother asked

No mom. I answered

Who is it that is looking for me? I asked the maid.

I don't know ma.

It's fine. Let's go so I can see the person. Illebaye said and she got up from her chair and followed her maid outside.

Could it be Père? Illebaye asked herself. But there is no way he is going to come here. And also my maid said she doesn't know this person.

So it can't be him because if it was him she would have known him since he is the Alpha of this pack.

Well, it's definitely someone else. Am sure it's the Lycan Cross. Illebaye said and walked further to the door.

When they were outside, Illebaye met someone different from Lycan Cross.

Greetings Miss. Illebaye. The man said

Greetings. So who are you and why are you holding a bundle of flowers? Illebaye asked

Actually Miss. It's for you. The man said

For me? How come? I don't even know you so how can you bring me a bundle of flowers. Illebaye said to the man.

Actually Miss. I was sent to deliver the flowers to Miss Illebaye. The man said

Ohh! Sorry about. Who sent you Illebaye asked as she took the bundle of flowers and the small gift bag from the guy.

Actually Miss. It's from Lycan prince Cross. The man said.

Alright. Also please do tell him I said thank you. Illebaye said to the man.

I will definitely do that Miss. The man said and left the mansion.

Meanwhile Illebaye walked back inside the mansion and found her parents and son already seated in the living room.

See who received a bundle of rose flowers from her suitor. Mrs Ethan said

Well mom, dad, my gift is from Lycan prince Cross

That guy, sure do love you.

Mom, please don't just start. Illebaye said to her mother as she took the hand of her son upstairs.

Now you are trying to avoid my question? Mrs. Ethan said

Mom, I will get back to you later. Illebaye said to her mother.

As she continues climbing the stairs alongside her son.

When she got to her room, she opened the door and they both walked inside.

Mom, your bundle of rose flowers is very nice. Ethan said

Thanks so much son. And by the way, there are some chocolates in the gift bag. You can eat them. Illebaye said to her son.

Thanks so much mum.

Is nothing dear. Illebaye said to her as she walked to the corner of her room and got a flower vase. Where she kept all the flowers given to her by Cross.
