Lana had a beautiful sunny mood. The air was already smelling like a spring, and in her heart flowers began to blossom as well. It's been a month since they moved to this city. At first, Lana was stunned when Nick told her that he had received a scholarship to college. Although he was a diligent student in school, it seemed to her that her son wanted to start working and become independent as soon as possible. Therefore, the news that Nicky intends to continue studying surprised her, but at the same time very pleased. He definitely deserved more.
They managed to rent a small apartment near the college. Luckily, Vicki was quickly admitted to a school nearby, and Lana was finally able to go to work. Life slowly began to enter its course.
She lives most of her life in a small Shifter's town. Everything here seemed new to Lana. As if a whole new world, which she had only seen on TV, opened to her.
She was lucky to find a job in a coffee shop near the house, even though they paid was not very much, but she did not give up
"Mom!" - Her sunny girl flew to the car as soon as Lana was out. Vicky embraced her mother and stepped back, letting Nickie take his portion of hugs.
Lana could not get enough of positive changes in her children. It seemed like they throw some weight off their shoulders. Vicky used to be like a little flame, but only now Lana began to understand how bright her beauty can shine. Nicky seemed to be more relaxed, and although he was earnest with his studies, the general feeling has dramatically changed. He became calmer, more confident, often smiling and letting Vicky twist ropes from him.
"How was your day?" Nicky asked, looking down at Lana. Her son has already surpassed Lana in growth for a whole head, and Vicky almost equaled her. Although it was difficult to notice because this little devil was always bouncing around, not stopping even for a minute.
" It's okay. The day was just wonderful." - assured Lana's son, removing the curl from Niki's forehead. - "How was your day?"
"It was awesome. Me and the girls ..." - Vicky started, but Nicky immediately shut her mouth with his palm.
"Hold your fountain," he growled in her ear, and then turned to his mother, "How about everything else, like work? How do you feel?"
Lana smiled and shook her head at the antics of her children.
"Actually, I wanted to wait until the restaurant to tell you everything, but I can't wait to share it with you," - Lana began enthusiastically. "I managed to get a job in Howl." - Lana finished on a high note.
This club was famous enough among the shifters. And although the owner was an ordinary person, most of the workers were shifters, since the owner knew about their kind for a long time. They say that his sister is a Mate of the Alpha of the local pack. But the club did not officially belong to the pack, so it became a favorite place for all kinds of shifters.
However, this news did not impress Nicky at all, his face immediately darkened, and his eyebrows met on the bridge of his nose. Vicky could not express the whole flow of her emotions as her brother still clamped to her mouth.
"Mom, you do not need a second job, especially in this place."
"What are you talking about, Nicky. Firstly, this is a very respected institution. Besides, I will only work a few nights a week. And secondly, it's just for a while. Until we are settling money issue.
"I can go to work." he snapped firmly.
" Nicky, sweetheart. You just started your studies. Please, first you should finish the semester, and then, if you want, go to work. I won't stand in your way"
" Me too! I, too, can start earning money, " - Vicky whispered through her brother's fingers.
" No, Vicky, you are not going to work. You've already missed a lot of classes. The next year is your graduation year. You need to think about the future." - Lana answered firmly. - "My little sweeties, I would very much like you to trust me. Let me take care of you a little bit more."
"Mom, but ..." began to protest Nicky, but then his gaze flew somewhere beyond Lana's back, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Lana instinctively turned and froze in place as if stuck. Greg stood right behind her and almost smoked with anger.
