she almost told my son the truth

What else do you want us to discuss?

Well, nothing much, apart from the fact that I miss us especially when we used to come over here to clear our minds.

Same here too, I do miss this place. But not as much as I miss you.

Alright, so how was life in New York? That away from the pack and living with humans? Uriel asked

Well, it was good. Especially since most of the people in New York knew about the existence of werewolves.

What? Are you serious that some of them knew about our existence?

Yeah. You are surprised too right? That is how I was surprised when I found out the first time.

But I was happy because it somehow made my stay there with my son easier.

Wow! I never knew about that. But I am happy since you both never faced any problems.

Thanks, babe, but we can't stay there forever. That is why when Neo invited us for his birthday I thought it wise to bring my son so he could come see his route.

Does that mean that you both will be going back to New York? Uriel asked

I would have loved to say yes because my life there was easier but we will be staying here permanently.

I want my son to grow up in his hometown. And by the way, I can't continue to run forever.

You are right. You need to start facing your fears so they won't affect your son's future.

You know when I saw your son yesterday it made me want to have a child of my own.

Then what are you waiting for? You have a mate. You both can start building your family together.

Ever since I discovered he was my mate we have had s*x so many times but still nothing to show for it.

Even when I was dating your brother we also used to have s*x but still nothing.

You know, at times I used to sit and ask myself what was the problem.

What do you mean by if you are the problem? Illebaye asked

Maybe, I am barren and haven't noticed it. Uriel said with a sad expression.

Well, you stop saying nonsense. Who said you are barren?

Illebaye, I might be right. Okay, look at you. You and my brother slept once and saw you got pregnant and you had a son.

Even Tolani, it's not up to 2 years she has been as your brother's wife and mate and see they are expecting their first child.

But me, I have been with your brother for more than 5 years but nothing and also even my mate we have been together for a year now but still nothing and you tell me not to think like that?

I know everything makes you feel frustrated but you need to put yourself together and have you forgotten it's the moon goddess who gives children and she will give your children at the right time. So please stop disturbing yourself. Illebaye said

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement I do feel relieved now.

There is no need for you to thank me. Have you forgotten we are friends and as friends, we have to be there for everyone?

Rather I should be the person thanking you because you act more than a friend to me.

Aww! Don't make me cry. Uriel said in a joking manner.

Ahhhhh, this is the Uriel I know. And I am happy you are back to your old self.

Common, let's go back to the pack house. They might be looking for us.

Let's just stay here a little bit longer. And we can go later.

Grandson, you told us you have enough stories to tell us. So what is it?

Well, grandma. You and Grandpa were the people disturbing my mom from taking a rest so I decided to assist her.

What! Honey this boy is as clever as you. Just imagine he told us he had something interesting to tell us only to save his mother from us.

And to even think we believed him and followed him here.

Am happy now because my daughter has someone who can take very good care of her. Mr Ethan said

Grandma, you don't need to be sad. I am here and I will take care of all of you. Ethan Jnr said.

Grandma, and Grandpa you both should tell me what you want to know so I can tell you.

So, you all are here? I have been looking for you Ethan Jnr for a while. A familiar voice says from behind

And it was no one but Toni's voice.

Aunty, do you need anything? Ethan Jnr asked

Yes dear, why are you looking for him? Mrs. Valdez asked

Mom, Dad haven't you guys noticed that Ethan Jnr looks exactly like the Alpha of our pack?

He looks like the photocopy of our Alpha.

There was total shock in the living room and it felt as if a ghost had just passed in that living room due to its quietness.

Aunty, are you saying I look so much like someone from here? Ethan Jnr asks

Yes, dear. And with such resemblance I think he is your…..

Tolani!

Before she could finish telling the little thing further she was stopped by someone from behind.

Mom. Ethan said and got up to go greet his mother.

Welcome mom.

Thanks so much, son. Are you done telling your grandma and grandpa the story?

Not mom.

But why sweetheart?

Because I don't have any story to tell them.

Ohh really?

Yes, mom.

Alright, why don't you go upstairs and wait for me? I will join you there soon.

Alright, mom. Ethan said and ran upstairs.

Don't run son, you might fall.

Alright, mom. Ethan said as he continued to walk upstairs.

What were you about to tell my son? Illebaye asked Tolani the moment Ethan was out of his sight.

Well, I was about to tell him the truth.

What stupid truth are you talking about?

The truth is that Alpha Pere is his father.

Are you stupid? Did I ask you to tell him anything?

Who gave you that right? To see my son sitting down and you approach him and to make matters worse

You take your ugly face and bring it close to my son in the name of telling him the truth.

What is going on here? Neo said from behind.

Thank God you are also here. So it won't be like I didn't talk to your mate here.

What happened? Neo asked

Tell your mate to avoid my son and me.

Listen to me you this Tolani or whatever you call yourself.

First, I don't like it. Not after bullying me in our secondary school days.

Second, I am just managing you here because you are my brother's mate and you are also carrying the Valdez family grandchild.

But I will forget all of that and treat you the way you won't like me if you ever try this stupid stun you tried to do today.

Neo, talk to your mate. Because next time I won't be this calm.

What wrong did I do? All I did was the right thing to do.

What right thing are you talking about? Neo asked

Ever since they came I have been looking at her son Ethan Jnr and I discovered he looks more like Alpha Pere.

So I thought it was wise enough for me to ask the boy. Tolani said

And who asks you to ask the boy? Why didn't you wait for Illebaye's arrival before you asked her?

Rather than open your mouth and say that nonsense in front of the child.

My mom said to her before I could say anything to her again.

Enough! I don't want anyone quarreling here.

Tolani from now henceforth, I don't want to see you anywhere closer to Ethan Jr. to avoid trouble.

And sweetheart, you were so rude when you insulted your brother's wife in front of him.

That is not good at all. With such behavior, you are disrespecting your elder brother. Mr. Ethan Snr. Said

Am sorry bro. But please you need to make sure you speak to your mate.

I said to Neo and walked upstairs to my room.

Do you see what you have for a course? I told you to avoid my sister and any of her businesses but no you don't want to listen to me and you keep on doing what you are doing. Neo said and walked out of the living room.

Ever since you entered this mansion you keep bringing new problems to us every day. Mrs. Valdez said

Love is fine, you just need to calm down.

How can I calm down? Our grandson was about to gist with us but she came and spoiled everything.

What are you still doing here? Mrs Valdez asked

Tolani, just get out of our side. Mr. Valdez said

And Toloni immediately left from their side.

At least I was able to do something. Let me just wait and see how things turn out to be between the mother and son relationship. Tolani said to herself.

Because of her son, she has the mind to talk to me anyhow.
