The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 898

Beryl's POV:

I waved my hand to bid my mother goodbye and turned on my heels to follow Arron to line up.

I garbled the cookies in my pocket and began to miss my mother even though we just parted. But I drilled the thought in my mind that it was futile dwelling on unfounded longing when we would be seeing each other soon.

My love for my mother was infinite, and no one could replace her in my heart.

Adding myself to the list as I lined up after Arron, none of us could have braced ourselves for parting from our mothers at this moment.

It wouldn't surprise me to know there were diverse beautiful and lovely children, each unique from one another, in the capital city. Just thinking about how Mommy would actually fancy other children aside from me and my brother was enough to crush my spirits. I shivered. Arron and I must keep an eye on Mommy.

I faced forward and had myself on alert. I set my eyes up front and there I saw the leader of the team—a plump she-wolf who was the picture of a kind one at that. I paid attention as she softly spoke, and it was almost as if she was easy to fool.

I busied myself munching the cookies I got while scanning the area. Everyone was participating in the game.

"Beryl, where are you?" The teacher moved her head from one side to the other as she tried to spot me among the crowd.

I quickly swallowed the cookies and waved my hand before saying, "I'm here."

"Come here and play hide and seek with us." She waved at me with a soft smile.

There was a moment of hesitation as I looked at the cookies in my hands. After a while, I walked over to where they were and decided to engage myself in the activity.

I wasn't really fond of silly childish games like this—all the more did I despise playing with girls who easily bawl. But at this instance, I could only sigh as I was left with no other choice. For Arron's and my plan to work out just fine, I had to brush off the distaste that was burdening me as I forced myself towards where most of them were.

Without an ounce of unwillingness on my face, I picked up the ball for them, which surprised the teacher the most.

"Oh my God, Beryl! You're unexpectedly sweet today," the teacher mused, still darting at me a baffled expression. She took out a handful of candies from her pocket and handed them over to me. "Here, a reward for you."
