“Pedro, are you done? Let me take a look.” Regina said with curious eyes.

“Yeah. I’m done.” he handed to paper to his aunty.

“Wow! Your skills are way better than mine.” Regina exclaimed in amazement.

“You can’t even draw a cup properly. Don’t put me at your level.” Pedro muttered.

“Hey, that’s not how you speak to your elders.” Regina chided.

“That’s not how you speak to a kid, either.” Pedro got up and ran away from the pavilion, looking upset.

“Pedro!” Regina stood. “Pedro!”

As he ran, he met up with his mom.

“Pedro, what happened?”

“Nothing mum. I just wanna be alone for a while,” he said and continued running.

“Son…”

“Just let me be,” he said, wiping off his tears.

“Pedro….”

“It’s okay. I’ll talk to him, honey. Go meet your friend.” her husband telepathed her. Maybe he was nearby and saw Pedro was upset.

“Alright, honey. I’m counting on you.” Carmelia mind linked him in reply.

“Hmm!” her husband cut off the mind link.

Carmelia sighed and ran forward to the pavilion. She found a sighing Regina.

“What happened?” she asked.

“I don’t know. He suddenly became upset after I praised his drawing skills. Could it be about her?” she pointed at the drawing.

Carmelia took it and looked at the drawing of a young lady. It seems the little boy focused mainly on the face. It wasn’t all that clear but one could deduce that the girl was a beauty just pretty skinny. Was she a malnourished Omega? She must have a tragic backstory then. Poor her!

They’d just arrived at their pack yesterday and Pedro seemed to not be too affected by what happened. The two males didn’t know what the Omega looked like, hence they couldn’t provide any useful information. Only Pedro could do so.

Carmelia sighed.

“He is a strong kid. I really hope he can recover from this. It pains me to see him like that.” Regina said in concern.

“Please get in touch with the sculptor. We’ll need the 3d model by tomorrow and after that, we can discuss the next step.” Carmelia said and rose.

“Alright. That will be done.” Regina said. Carmelia nodded and left the pavilion.

“Pedro, open up. It’s me, your dad!” Rolandro hollered as he continued knocking on the door. “Pedro!”

“Dad, just go away. I don’t want to see you. I want to be alone. Just go, please!” Pedro yelled from inside his room.

“Pedro, if you don’t wish to open up, then alright. No problem. But I’m your dad; I can’t stand seeing you so upset. At least talk to me, ok?”

“Dad, I have nothing to say. I don’t want to talk to either of you. Just go. Leave me alone. Even though I’m small, I bathe myself and I deserve privacy, ok? Leave me alone!” Pedro cried with a hoarse voice.

“Honey, it’s okay. Don’t shout anymore. Dad will wait here until you are ready to come out and talk.” Rolandro said in a soothing tone.

The door suddenly opened and Pedro ran out of the room with tears flowing down his cheeks profusely. His body was trembling.

Rolandro stooped to his child’s level and wiped off his tears.

“It’s okay. It’s okay!” he whispered, bringing him into a warm hug.

“Dad, it’s all my fault. It’s all my fault!” Pedro cried.

“Dear, it’s not your fault. It’s our fault. We didn’t watch over you carefully and that is why this happened. Your parents are to blame, honey. So don’t cry like this anymore.” Carmelia (who’d just arrived) said.

“Mom!” Pedro left his dad’s embrace and ran to hug his mom’s legs.

“Mom! I’m so sorry. I’m sorry for disrespecting you earlier.” he also turned to face his dad.

“I’m sorry too, dad. I didn’t mean it. I.. I…”

“Ssh!” Carmelia caressed her son’s head and carried him with one arm, wiping off his tears with her other hand.

“It’s okay. We understand. It’s already happened. We don’t possess the power to turn back time. That’s why we are honoring her by making a beautiful statue for her with the best materials we can afford. You can get sit by her everyday once her statue has arrived, okay?” Carmelia pecked her son’s forehead and he nodded.

Rolandro was now standing upright.

“Son, there are many things that are beyond our control. But we can’t send ourselves to the death because of the way things are. You are my son. I can’t afford to lose you. She too would not like it if you hurt yourself. If she saw you like this, would she be happy?”

Pedro shook his head, sniffing.

“So my dear, don’t blame yourself. If you feel overwhelmed anytime, mom and I are here for you, alright?” Rolandro pated his son’s back gently.

Pedro nodded and kissed his mom’s cheek.

“For you mom.”

“Aww. I’m so lucky.” she squealed.

“Hey, young man, where’s mine?”

“You are a big man. You call mum ‘baby’, so I gave her a kiss since we’re in the same boat. You can’t be petty.” Pedro hugged his mum’s neck.

“Me? Petty?” Rolandro pointed at himself with widened eyes while his wife chuckled.

“Mimi…”

She shut him up by kissing him.

“Now, that’s okay. My baby girl’s the best,” he said and turned around to leave.

His wolf was exclaiming in happiness.

“Boy, you got another kiss today. Haha, so good!”

“Stop it.” Rolandro chided his wolf, who refused to take correction.

“Forget it!” Rolandro touched his lips as he walked away.

“Tonight will be a wild one. Hehe!” a smile formed after he licked his lips.

“Yummy!” he praised.

“Mom?” Pedro called.

“Yes, son,”

“You guys promised to get me a sister right? Time is going. Only a few months left. She needs to arrive in 10 months.”

“You…”

“Alright. I’ll be flexible. One year at most. Mom, please!”

“I heard you. Dad and I will try our best.”

“Thank you, mum.”

“What if you don’t get a sister?”

“I’ll still care for my little brother. I want a sibling so bad, mom,” he said with a small voice.

“Pedro, my dear boy.” she patted his back gently and entered his room to put him to bed.

He was exhausted and needed a good rest.

She tenderly tucked him in and sat beside the bed, caressing his hair while singing a lullaby in a soft sweet voice.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

When she saw he was now fast asleep, she rose and tiptoed out of the room, carefully closing the door behind her.

She then headed out of their home.

She saw her husband discussing with another pack warrior about some vital matters.

“Honey!” she called out and waved as she left.

Rolandro saw her and winked at her, smiling meaningfully.

Carmelia looked away from him with a red face. She increased her walking pace and soon jogged off, causing him to chuckle.

“Sorry, Andrian. You were saying…”

An hour later, Regina met up with the sculptor in the human territory.

She started discussing how the statue should be made.

The sculptor, a human, agreed and Regina made a deposit. If she liked the model, then she’d pay up the rest for the preparation of the statue.

Returning back to the pack in a black Camry, she got out and headed to Rolandro’s home to share the details.

They all nodded in agreement.

The statue should be ready in a week.

Pedro had woken up and came into the living room to meet his parent and Aunty Regina discussing.

“Oh, you’re awake. Come, let mama spoil you with your favourite food.” Carmelia said as she walked to him.

“Aunty Regina, please don’t mind my behaviour earlier….”

Regina walked to Pedro and stooped then she brought him into a hug.

“Honey, it’s fine. You didn’t offend me.” she patted his head and stood upright.

Carmelia took him to the kitchen.

“So about the competition, what are the plans made? Coz we really can’t afford to lose this time. Our pack will disband, and we’ll become rogues. I don’t want to join another pack and be treated like an outcast.” Regina said as she sat on a chair.

“Well, we should scout for more people then. Maybe we can find some good rogues who are willing to be part of our pack.

“It’s not that easy. Finding rogues is one thing, convincing the rogues is another. Rogues have backstories and might not even want to join a pack.” Mel (who had just entered) said.

“This…” Regina wore a worried expression. There were less than 2 months left. This was where she viewed as home. She often dreeamt of having her children here. Would she do so in another pack?

Not all would be even kind to accept disbanded packs and treat them well.

“Guys, calm down. We’ll figure out a way. Worrying excessively will not help us in this matter. If it’s not the moon goddess’ will, we will not disband.” said Rolandro.

The trio were speaking telepathically.

Pedro should not hear about such things.

Lavana was keen on the movie playing on the Tv screen. It was really interesting!

Come to think of it, she only watched Tv as a kid. Now the TVs looked better and there was so much content to watch. That damn Ralton pack really made her miss on a lot of things.

Beatrix was not too interested in watching this movie.

She was busy gaming on Onmoji Arena. She preferred mage or support Shikigami. Currently, she’s using Enenra and having a good time bullying the enemy.

Carl had gone out to buy something, so he left them to be at home. No one will be able to harm them anyway. Such a person was simply tired of living.
