Chapter 111: Reunion

Ruby’s POV

“I hate being a Beta!”

For the umpteenth time, Mikael Torrance whined. I wanted so badly to punch him. Unfortunately, I needed him too much where else would I find another all–around idiot like him in this world?

“Mikael, have you forgotten that you were the most competitive one back when we were young, right after the Beta selection?”

His lips curved downward even more. Good grief, he looked just like the little boy I remembered from kindergarten, the one who loved to pull on my braids and always ended up getting kicked into the gutter.

“Back then, I thought it was cool. My brother, Alpha Jaden, looked so impressive. But darnn, it’s all just nonsense. Too much work!” He pulled the blanket over himself again, covering his bare body.

“So, you really want to go back to sleep? Alpha will wake you up in his oh–so–friendly way,” I replied.

Mikael shuddered beneath the tulip–patterned fabric. He groaned and swore in Russian, and I pressed my lips together as hard as I could to keep from laughing. I reached out, touching his shoulder and patting it gently.

“Just go with him. I’m sure it won’t last until late this time,” I coaxed him softly.

He peeked out from under the blanket, grumbling, “But why does it have to be at 1 AM?! And in the middle of winter, Rosalyn!”

“Hm, I don’t really know.” I tilted my head, pondering various possible answers. “Maybe it’s something urgent. You said it was for the Raven Pack, right?”

“Yeah, that’s what Alpha said,” he replied sourly.

“You’d better get ready now.” I got up from the bed after pressing a kiss to the crown of my childish husband’s head. Grabbing my thicker clothes, I put them on quickly. “I’ll tell the kids that Alpha kidnapped you, and they’ll take out their anger on your brother. You know how they are, don’t you?”

That made his grin stretch so wide I almost feared it would tear. Moments like this reminded me where the twins got their strong genes from, their father.

“Cool!”

The winter morning arrived with gloomy sunlight and an overcast sky. The familiar scent of damp forest drifted through the air, seeping in through the vents. The house buzzed with lively chatter as Alice and Anna ran around the kitchen, their tiny feet pattering against the wooden floor. Today was their first day of kindergarten, and they could barely contain their

excitement.

“Mama! When do we have to go?” Alice whined, tugging at the hem of my sweater.

Anna, on the other hand, was already struggling to put on her little backpack, which looked comically oversized on her small frame. Her face shone with enthusiasm.

“I want to meet my friends!” she chirped.

“Agreed! Dores said there are lots of toys too!”

Anna cupped her cheeks in shock, while Alice eagerly nodded, confirming that everything their cousin had said was indeed true. I smiled warmly at the two of them, crouching down to adjust their coats.

“Yes, my loves. You’re going to have so much fun, and I’ll be there soon to drop you off.”

Mikael had finally escaped the wrath of the twins–though it had taken quite the effort, considering today was their first day of school. The moment I slightly twisted my words, the twins immediately began scheming. I grimaced, already imagining the pranks our Alpha would soon fall victim to.

The house smelled of warm toast and honey as I hurried to get them ready. Once the twins were bundled up in their coats, hats, and gloves, we headed to the car, their laughter ringing through the crisp morning air. A few passing omegas greeted them with friendly smiles.

The ride to school was filled with the twins excitedly pointing out everything they saw through the window.

“Look, Mama! A squirrel!” Alice gasped, her mouth forming a small ‘o. “It’s eating something!”

Anna pressed her face against the car window. “I bet it’s a magic nut.”

I chuckled at her whimsy. “You mean like some kind of fairy candy?”

Anna gave a small, determined nod. “Yes! It turns you into a superhero squirrel!”

By the time we arrived at the kindergarten, my heart was a mess of emotions. The school was a charming building nestled

among rows of tall trees. Colorful decorations and cheerful drawings lined the walls, making it a welcoming place for both wolf pups and human children.

I led the kids inside, and almost immediately, the room filled with other parents chatting as their children clung to them. It seemed I wasn’t the only nervous parent dropping off their child on the first day.

A woman with blue eyes and blonde hair approached me, holding her son’s hand.
