Ximena's

POV

I closed from work after a very long and tiring day. Rubbing my tired and sore eyes, I walked toward the parking lot to pick up my kids from school. I drove carefully while listening to some cool music. Arriving at the school, I parked and walked inside. "Miss Blake," their teacher called out holding onto Mason and Madison's hands.

"Good afternoon," I replied politely. We exchanged pleasantries as the twins both walked towards me. I held their hand.

"I must say, Miss Blake, the twins have such a lovely uncle. I never knew you had such a good-looking brother," she said. I furrowed my brows. Uncle?.

"What uncle?" I asked in surprise.

"The...," she paused when she was called. She bid us goodbye and hurriedly left. I turned towards the twins.

"Which uncle was she talking about?" I inquired. I knew she was definitely not talking about Cole because everyone thought he was their father. No other male has come to pick up or meet them in school apart from Cole. None that I knew of so who was this uncle? "I don't know. I had a headache so I was in class all day," Madison responded.

"Headache? What's wrong with you princess?" I asked worriedly. I felt her forehead with my hands. She felt slightly hot.

"How about you Mason? Do you know who she's speaking of?" I asked him. He shook his head.

"I have no idea mummy. You know she acts weird at times. She must have mistaken us for someone else," he replied.

"Don't speak like that about your teacher. It's rude," I reprimanded him sternly.

"Since when has your sister had a headache?" I continued.

"After you dropped us off at school," he responded. I led them both toward the car. I decided to drop by the pharmacist and get medicine for Madison. We got into the car and drove out of the school premises.

"Is it only your head that hurts? Does anything else hurt?" I asked.

"Only my head hurts. I also feel a little tired," she replied.

"I will stop by the pharmacist and get you some medicine okay? You will feel better right away," I assured her. She nodded. Mason was looking outside the window while Madison rested her head on his shoulder. I drove past a bunch of tall trees. People didn't frequent this area. It was a shortcut that I took which was why there were no cars behind us. I kept glancing back from time to time to check up on them.

"Mummy, look out!" Mason called out loudly. I looked towards the road and my eyes widened in surprise. I quickly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car. The car screeched to a halt and we all leaned forward simultaneously. I glanced toward the kids nervously. "Are you both okay?" I asked.

"We are fine but w..what is that?" Mason stuttered pointing forward. Madison clutched his hand fearfully. They were just kids no matter how grown up they acted so they were bound to get scared.

"Don't be scared. Stay in the car and don't come out," I said firmly before unbuckling my seat belt.

"Where are you going mummy? It's not safe," Mason said.

"I will be right back," I replied stepping out and locking the door. I walked carefully towards the growling grey-colored wolf. The wolf pranced around, its eyes fixated on me.

"Who are you and what do you want?" I asked not taking my eyes off it for even a second. It growled louder. I wondered who it was and why it was standing in my way. I knew for a fact that it was not here for any sort of conversation. It came with the intention of fighting and I wouldn't want to get bloody in front of my kids. I looked towards them again.

The wolf took that opportunity to leap in the air toward me. My ears picked up the sound of its claws grazing against the tarred road which made me turn around sharply and dodge its attack.

"It looks ready to attack. Give me full control," Freya growled.

"I can't. The kids are here," I responded. The wolf landed nimbly on its feet. It turned its head towards me almost immediately and snarled ferociously. Its tongue is in the air and saliva dripping from its mouth down to the floor. The kids knew what we were, they knew we were different from most people but they had never witnessed a live werewolf before and I wanted to keep it that way as long as I could. I didn't want their first experience to be in this form.

But, the wolf was not ready to give up. It wasn't a rogue. Rogues weren't that common these days and even if it was, they would have attacked me in full force along with my kids. This wolf was attacking but not entirely with killing intent. I didn't know how to place it but this wolf felt familiar.

It growled loudly again and leaped about ten feet into the air toward me. I realized it wasn't going to stop anytime soon. I had to end this as soon as I could so I could take the kids home.

"It wants a fight, let's give it one," I said to Freya pulling off my dress. I felt my bones cracking and white furs covering my entire body. I stood on all fours and snarled loudly back at it. We both circled around slowly watching each other's movements and not taking our eyes off each other. It bared its canines fiercely at me attempting to scare me. I stared at it unfazed. I ran towards it and we both tumbled on the tarred road growling and snarling ferociously.

I got on top of it, it tried to roll me over but I held onto it tightly digging into its flesh with my claws. It whimpered like an injured dog as blood oozed out of the place I removed my claws from. I sank my fang into its neck angrily. It managed to scratch at my arm, the pain made me send it flying meters away with just one swing from my claw. It fell with a thud even though it was almost twice my size. It stood up immediately its back touched the ground.

It growled at me again and I got ready to prance towards it but it quickly scurried away towards the woods, blood oozing out of its wound. It was a she. I could see its gender clearly now. I shifted back and wore my dress clutching my arm tightly. I ran towards the

car.

"Are you okay kids?" I asked. They both nodded their eyes twinkling brightly.

"Mummy, that was so cool. You totally dealt with it," Madison said. I chuckled in relief. I thought they were going to be trembling with fright. Turns out they were even fascinated.

"You are bleeding," Mason said worriedly.

"I'm fine. It's just a scratch. We should head back home," I said and started the car.

"Do you know who that was? I've never seen that wolf before," Freya asked.

"I have no idea either. Why would anyone pick a fight with me?" I replied.

"Who do you have a problem with that would go to this extent?" she asked.

"Someone who hates me, someone that has a problem with me, someone who wants me gone," I pondered over her question deeply but I didn't let it distract me from driving.

"I don't think there's someone like...," I trailed off when something suddenly clicked in my head.

"Are you having the same thought?" Freya asked.

"That b***h!" I cursed holding onto the steering wheel tightly. How could she have gone this far? To what extent will she go? She didn't just mess with me this time but also with my kids. I won't let this slide so easily this time around. "What are you going to do?" she asked.

"I've got this," I replied and increased my pace towards the pharmacist. After getting the required medicine, I drove home. I gave the nanny instructions on how to give Madison her medicine after they eat their meal. Cole was not home yet so I left them in the care of their nanny before driving out again. I wanted to catch her off guard and now was the perfect time.

I drove at a very fast pace toward the pack. I was so pissed off by the fact that she would pull this kind of stunt. I was ready to forget about everything and move on with my life but she had totally crossed the line this time. I slammed the door of my car shut before walking towards the wooden door angrily. I kicked it open forcefully making it fall apart.

"Where is she?" I growled out as soon as I entered glancing across the living room frantically.
