[DEVON’s Point of View]

I would never let them do this to mommy!

This strange feeling of anger made my body feel unusually warm. No. Hot. I felt as though I was suffering from a fever. It scared me at first. I was scared at what I felt and I was scared of the anger I saw on those people’s faces towards us and my mom. But there was no way I would let them get near her. I promised Dominic I would protect Diana and Mom with the best I could. And even though my hands were trembling, I just curled them into fists. I couldn’t let them intimidate us. I couldn’t let them bully Mom!

It confused me because I had never seen faces with such hatred before.

Diana was on alert as well. Despite our fear, we chose to follow our instinct and watched all of them with cold, deadly stares. We sat on each side of Mom. Both her hands were on our left shoulders as the meeting continued with more hateful words from those old, mean people.

I looked up at Mom’s face and realized how strong she was and that she handled everything very well. I admired how she remained calm and cool despite the ridiculous rants these people threw at her.

Granny remained silent the whole time, as well, and I bet Liam was getting impatient with those people with the way he tapped his fingers on his elbow while he folded his arms on his chest. I didn’t know what was happening and why Mom was receiving so much hatred from them.

[Stop looking so confused right now. I can see the fear on your face.] Diana made a biting tone as she sneaked a thought into my head, but her eyes remained fully alert to the people in front of us.

She was always like Mom. There were days when she wanted to be treated like a princess, and then there were days when she looked as if she could rip someone’s head off using her teeth.

[You know I am trying my hardest here. I just don’t understand why they’re behaving like that to Mom. Are you not curious why they hate us so much?] I asked as I continued the mind-link conversation with my twin sister.

Could Mom hear our thoughts as well? Should we be careful about it?

Then I remembered how Dominic communicated with me through his mind when we were in that terrifying situation in the dungeon. His thoughts were so dark, scary, and unpleasant to the feelings as he glared at those monsters. It was the first time I felt that kind of terror in my whole life; I was petrified by the deadly thoughts I saw in Dominic’s head.

And that’s when I realized how grave the situation was.

But then I couldn’t blame him. We were in a dangerous situation, which was all my fault, and he had to do everything to save me and my sister. I still felt awful about it, though, and I couldn’t forgive myself for what happened. That’s when I promised myself to trust Dominic and Mom to work on the adult stuff while I would only focus on protecting my twin sister, just like how they asked me to do.

[We just have to make sure none of them would go near Mom.] Diana said in her serious tone. I could tell Diana was worried, but she was good at hiding her emotions always. It was only when she wanted to be babied by Mom and Dominic that she still acted like a baby.

But we both knew after we got our wolves, we weren’t babies anymore. We weren’t humans, and we were destined for something much more important, just like what Mom always told us.

*****

After the meeting, Diana and I noticed that Mom was still feeling worried and anxious after Dominic hadn’t responded yet to her messages and calls. She was so worried that she kept pacing back and forth in front of the door while holding her phone.

Liam came back and talked to Mom again, saying that there was an emergency, as she was needed by Granny to attend to some pack duties. I saw Mom look at us and was hesitating to go. Mom finally agreed after Liam reassured her that he would stay and watch over both of us while she was away, and she kissed us on the top of our heads before driving back to the Pack Manor.

“We have to do something,” Diana whispered to me. “At least make Mom happy while she’s waiting for Dominic. And I mean we need to distract her, Devon.”

I frowned, feeling upset with the Alpha for making Mom so restless. “I wonder where he went, though. He hasn’t come back since last night. I heard he went to a forest. What is he doing there, though?”

“You know it’s okay to be curious sometimes, Devon. But remember what Mom told us, right? No, going anywhere unless we tell her.” She pointed her finger at my nose as she scolded me and then rested her hands on her hips with a grimace. “You are not dragging me anywhere again.”

“I know. And I’m sorry, Diana.” I said apologetically, and she just sighed, “You know, sometimes I feel like I can do things now that we have our wolves. But I was wrong. We’re not that strong yet. And that means we have to train to protect Mom always.”

“Yes, I guess we have plenty of time for that,” she shrugged her shoulder as she played with her doll. “But I want to make something for Mom. Shall we ask Madison to teach us how to cook something? Maybe Mom would forgive us for what happened yesterday as well.”

My eyes widened with excitement. “I hope I can be as smart as you, Diana. Because that is a brilliant idea!”

“I know I’m smart,” she smiled smugly and then giggled as she flipped her dark, curly hair behind her shoulders. “I got that from Mom.”

That reaction from her was the reason why I hesitated to compliment her that much.

Liam, on the other hand, stayed outside the house and joined the patrolmen to rove the area, making sure that there were no enemies around. My twin and I took the chance to prove to Mom that we could help—just not the way I thought we could and make everything turn into a disaster again.

I learn my lesson fast.

Diana and I went to Madison that day and told her we wanted to make that meat pie Mom always loved. I couldn’t count how many times Diana cut herself, though. But Madison always knew what to do and reminded us that we were werewolves—we heal incredibly fast but we still needed to be careful. That made me and Diana more confident that we could finish making and preparing food for dinner before Mom came home.

“Miss Samantha will surely love what you made for her.” Madison smiled sweetly as Diana and I watched her taste the food we cooked. “These are actually good!”

Diana and I had cuts on our fingers, but seeing Madison approve of what we did made both of us almost cry with happiness. But then my eyes went to the whole kitchen because it was a real disaster.

“We should clean first,” I said to Diana, who was already leaning on the table, looking exhausted. “We have to prepare the table before Mom comes home, Diana! Stand up there and help!”

That’s when she gave me puppy eyes as she lifted her face to look at me, “But I am super tired right now,” she pouted her lips. “I can’t move my legs.”

“It’s okay children. I can—”

“No!” I didn’t let Madison finish what she was about to say. “If Diana can’t, then I’ll do it.”

“But Master Devon, you are already tired as well!” She was surprised by the determination in my voice as I began to lift the dirty dishes we used one at a time, bringing them to the sink for washing. She looked worried. “I can do this, and you and Miss Diana can have some rest.”

“I can do this, Madison,” I said to her with a confident smile. She was right. I was worn out already, but I could do this. It was my apology for all the trouble I caused Mom and Dominic. It took me almost half an hour to clean, and I could tell Madison and Diana were very proud of me. It brought tears to my eyes, though. But I was a big guy now. I had to take responsibility as well. Liam told me that’s what gentlemen do!

“She’s here!” Diana jumped in excitement as Madison helped me light the candles.

“Surprise!!!”

I saw how Mom’s eyes widened with surprise when she saw the table and the food Diana prepared for her. I looked around and Madison was already gone. Maybe she just left so we could have this moment with Mom?

“You prepared this for me?” With tears in her eyes, she bent down and kissed me and Diana on the cheek. "You did all of this?" she asked, her lips quivering with happiness.

“Madison helped us.” Diana admitted as she looked at me with a huge smile on her face, “But Devon, he did most of the things, including helping with the cleaning.”

Mom looked at me with softness in her eyes, “Thank you, Devon, Diana. I am so speechless!”

“We just want to make you happy, Mom.” We both said and embraced her tight. “Always know that we love you no matter what.”

I didn’t know what happened, but Mom squeezed us both back in a tight hug and cried.

“Thank you...” She whispered and then kissed each of us on the cheek.
