I woke up earlier than normal, brushing last night off as a crazy dream. I woke Mathias up and got him ready to go to my school, then hopped in the shower to get ready myself. Once I was done, I quickly dried off and put on some casual clothes. When I walked in, I saw Mathias sitting on my bed, playing a board game by himself.
I smiled. "Come on, champ. It's school time."
I picked Mathias up and ran downstairs to the car. I put Mathias in the seat beside me and buckled him in his car booster seat. Andrew and Melanie came rushing out with bags for training, then Andrew drove to school.
Alpha Ryan greeted me in the office, taking Mathias's hand. I saw Mathias get a little scared. I bent down and hugged Mathias to show him it was okay. "What are you doing here, Alpha?"
Ryan smiled as he replied. "I have an office here, I'm technically the principal. If you want, Mathias can come stay with me in my office while you're in your classes. I'll bring him to you at lunch."
I nodded, but Mathias was against the idea, not trusting of the Alpha yet as he was with me. "Mathias he is your alpha, respect him please. He'll play fun games with you." Mathias hugged my legs and I had to shake him off before I headed off to class.
•|-Ryan's pov-|•|
I took Mathias to my office. I gave him a coloring book and a pack of chocolate chip cookies I stole from the house, hoping it would keep him entertained while I filled out the paperwork for him to go to school.
I realized I needed his birth certificate, so I mind-linked with Marcus and told him to have that all made for Mathias, also making Marcus make sure that Jayka was his rightful guardian. Mathias walked up to me hesitantly, and placed a cookie in my hand.
I stared at Mathias. He looked terrified at my confused reaction. "Mathias, thank you, that was very sweet of you to share your cookies with me. Now go back to coloring, buddy. I have a lot of work to do." Mathias smiled and walked back to the coloring book that was on the floor. Marcus came into the room in his wolf form, which scared Mathias. I rolled my eyes at Marcus. "I command you, Marcus, to change back into human form." Marcus whimpered and had to obey.
"Did you really have to command me? I was gonna do it, you asshole."
I covered Mathias's ears. "Don't swear in front of him, or I'll fucking kill you, got it?"Marcus nodded and I uncovered Mathias ears. Marcus sat down, pulling the blonde haired boy into his lap.
Marcus played with Mathias until lunch. l managed to get no work done since Marcus wouldn't shut up. I looked up and Mathias was asleep in Marcus's arms. How the child could sleep with Marcus yapping is beyond me.

I ran out of my class, asking the staff so I could find Alpha Ryan's office. I opened the door to find Marcus on the floor with Mathias in his lap, while a frustrated Alpha struggled with his paperwork.
When Mathias smelled me he got up immediately. "MOMMY! MOMMY!" I froze. Was he calling me mommy because his mother smelled like me, or because he thinks of me as his mother now? "Mommy! Alpha Ryan gave me cookies." Marcus looked up at Ryan, who was focused on work, then looked over at me. I shrugged. "That's wonderful, buddy. Did they taste good?"
Mathias nodded excitedly. I didn't understand why I felt so happy, but I just did, knowing that Mathias trusts me and calls me mom is the sweetest thing in the world. I was his saving grace, if not for me, he would have frozen to death in the forest.
Mathias snuggled up to me. I looked at Beta Marcus and smirked. "You're not the only one he likes. I should probably go, he must want more than cookies for lunch. Bye, Alpha, bye, Beta. I'll talk to you soon." I walk out with Mathias in my arms, carrying him to the cafeteria. Many people were giving me looks
Why does a girl with caramel hair have a five-year-old half-wolf child with blonde hair? I shook the comments off and got both of us some food. A girl with long thick black hair, tanned skin and brown eyes sat down at the table that Mathias and I were sitting at.
"Hi! My name is Kaitlyn, I heard you were new here."
I nod and shake her hand "I am, nice to meet you. My name is Jayka, and this is Mathias." Mathias hid his face in my chest, unsettled with the appearance of Kaitlyn and I laughed.

Will Mathias warm up to Kaitlyn?
