Ethan!
Yes, mom.
Are you okay Mom?
Yes son I am perfectly fine.
Mom, Aunty Tolani told me that I look like the Alpha of this pack. Is it true?
Son, you don't need to think too much. Alright, your aunt just wanted us to have a problem.
Mom, you know me too well, I won't let anyone destroy our relationship. Because I love you so much, Mom. Ethan said and hugged his mother.
And Mom loves you too.
Mom, if you say you love me then don't you think you should tell me about my dad?
Mom, I know you love me so much but there is no need for you to worry yourself anymore because I am not a kid anymore and I will be able to handle the truth.
And see who can handle the truth? Illebaye said and picked up her son to check.
Mom, you are looking down on me. And don't forget I am a big boy. Ethan said and started smiling.
Yes, sir, my 5-year-old son is now a grown-up boy. Illebaye said and played with his hair.
Mom! You know I don't like it when they touch my hair.
Especially your mom, who keeps destroying the style of my hair.
Sorry sir, I won't touch your hair again. Illebaye said and played with his hair
Mom! It's not more funny. You are destroying my hair. Ethan said and put on a sad face.
Fine, I won't play with your hair again for now but that doesn't mean I won't touch your hair. Illebaye said
Mom, I know you too well, but it's fine. Only you are allowed to touch my hair. Apart from you, no one is allowed to touch my hair. Ethan said
Ahh! My son is so sweet. Illebaye said
So Mom, won't you tell me who my father is? Ethan asked
I thought we had passed this place already. Illebaye asked
No Mom, please.
Fine if you want to know the truth then I will tell you.
Your dad is the Alpha of this pack. Illebaye said to Ethan
What mom?
Yes dear,
Does grandma, grandpa, and Uncle Neo? Know about it? Ethan asked
No dear. Everything happened so faced and at that moment all I wanted was to leave this pack and start all over somewhere else I am happy your grandparents and uncle supported my decision.
Mom, if you don't mind me asking can you tell me everything that happened between you and my dad?
Son, you are still young to know about all that stuff.
Don't worry Mom. I will be able to handle it.
Look, son, I know the absence of your dad in your life and the fact that I was always busy with work has made you my 5-year-old son grow more than his age but that doesn't mean you are not a child. You are still a child and you will always be my baby boy. Illebaye said
Mom, you never left me so there is no need to say you abandoned me because you were always there for me and you are the best mom I could always ask for.
Aww. Thanks so much, son. And you are the best thing that has ever happened to me son and thanks to the moon goddess for giving you to me. Illebaye said and hugged her son.
Mom, why are you crying? Ethan asked
No, dear. It's tears of joy, son. I am so happy you came into my life. Illebaye said
I am happy too, Mom. Ethan said
Soon since you want to know the truth about your dad. I will tell you.
Really mom?
Yes, dear. I will because you have the right to know the truth about who your dad is.
And if you decide to meet with him after hearing the story I won't stop you, son. Because you have the right.
Alright Mom, and thanks for telling me the truth. I know it must be difficult for you to tell me the truth. Ethan answered
Is nothing, son. Illebaye said
Flashback:
I was that shy nerd who would endure anything.
I would rather cry by the washrooms silently than confront my troubles.
Growing up, I had to depend on Uriel, Neo, and Marcus to defend me.
That's just how useless and weak I was.
It's no wonder, my mate, your father rejected me.
" Not only are you woof less, you are worthless.
What were you thinking? That someone like you deserves to be my Luna.
A weakling who can only cry when faced with danger can never be my Mate."
Those were the exact words of your father, my mate told me after we spent the night together.
Flashback end;
Ugly right? But he did not even flinch when they left his mouth.
The hate and disgust reflected in his eyes make me shiver every time that scene replays in my mind. Illebaye said
Am so sorry about that Mom.
Is fine.
After that incident, I came home and I told your grandparents and uncle I wanted to live.
They tried to ask me what happened that I decided to leave but I didn't say anything and I just told them I needed some time alone
And they both agreed for me to go.
And that is how I left these packs in New York.
And just when I thought the moon goddess had decided to punish me for a crime I know nothing about.
I discovered I was 2 months and some days pregnant. 2 months after I started living in New York
At first, I never knew what to do anymore because I just arrived in a town where I knew no one and I later discovered I was pregnant.
But the moon goddess will have it. Mrs Lane decided to help me and there I discovered she was also a werewolf.
She took me in as her daughter and helped me through the period I was pregnant with you and even when I gave birth to you I decided to go back to school.
And you know what other good luck you brought into my life? Illebaye asked her son.
No mom.
I got my wolf Mia 2 days after I gave birth to you.
Seriously mom?
Yes, dear.
With the help of Mrs Lane, I was able to complete my doctorate school and right now I am a big doctor.
Wow, Mom, I am so happy for you. And thanks for not giving up on me.
I could not give up on you even though your dad rejected me. Because I knew with you I would shower all my love on you.
Thanks so much Mom.
Mom, this little guy of mine is behaving like a grown-up!
Please, son, don't grow up too fast, okay? Illebaye said to her son.
Of course Mom. Mom will always be your little boy. Ethan said and pecked his mother's check.
I love you so much, Mom.
And I love you too son. Illebaye said
Listen to me, if you decide to go meet your dad. Trust me I won't stop you.
Your dad and I might not be together but it doesn't mean I will stop you from going to see him. Because he is still your dad.
But before anything, you need to know that your dad now has another woman in his life.
Mom, does that mean Dad now has a mate again?
Yes, dear.
Does that mean you both will never come back together?
Ethan, I don't have an answer for that question of yours son but one this is for, it's only the moon goddess that knows everything and how it will end.
Alright, mom. And I promised not to force him on you. And also mom. I don't think I want to see him.
But son he is your father. Illebaye said
Yes mom, but you are the mother and father that I know. So there is no need for me to see him.
And by the way Mom. Since he has decided to move on with his wife by having another mate. Why don't you move on with your own life Mom? Ethan asked
What are you talking about?
Mom!
You know what, let's talk about something else.
Soon schools will start. Which school here is Red Month Pack would you like me to enroll you in? Illebaye asked
Mom, any school will be okay for me.
What about your good-paying job will you also let that one go? Ethan asks
Yeah, and by the way tomorrow your godmother and I will be going to some of the hospitals in this pack so I can submit my CV.
Alright, mom.
Have you eaten your lunch?
No mom? I was waiting for your return.
Alright, dear. Let me go change and join you for lunch downstairs.
Alright, Mom. I will be waiting for you at the dining table. Ethan said and left the room.
My little boy keeps surprising me every single day.
He behaves more maturely than his age.
