Chapter 49 – The Dragon and the Snow Queen (Anj‘s POV)
“Woah!”
Dylan moved away from me when we heard Anya‘s surprised voice. “Too early! And please, not inthe kitchen,” She chuckled, shaking her head as she walked toward the refrigerator to get the pitcherof water. I walked past her and dashed to the bedroom, where I heard my children arguing aboutsomething. I closed the door immediately and shook my head, telling myself it should not happenwhile I put my hand on my chest, trying to calm my heart pounding hard inside me. “Mommy, areyou okay?” Leyanne asked. Her voice woke me up, and they were all gawking at me when Ilooked at them. “I thought Aunt Anya would give you a bath?” “That was the plan,” Leyanne said, “butwe started fighting who would go in first. She went out to call you.” I nodded. “I don‘t see the need of whowill go in first,” I opened the bathroom door. “Inside, the three of you.” They went inside the bathroomwithout fuss, leaving me in peace for a few seconds. I swallowed hard, breathing out deeply beforegoing inside the bathroom, hearing them fighting again.

I knew I was not in my usual self today after Dylan attempted to kiss me. I left without looking athim, not even Anya, who surprisingly did not ask me about what she saw. Dean Jones‘s secretaryknocked on the faculty room‘s door and tapped her wristwatch. “In Conference Room A,” Aprilsaid when I reached her. “Dean Jones wants to ask if you can handle this yourself?”
“What‘s this about?” I asked, thinking we had a meeting with her, but my idea seemed incorrect.
“An unhappy guardian of one student not on the list of graduating this month,” she chuckled. “Usually,Dean Jones talks to them to explain the reason and pacify them, but she has an emergencymeeting with the chairman.” I chuckled softly. “Is the parent there already?” “Not yet, but good luck!
He‘s kind of... different. He breathes fire,” she laughed, shaking her head as we walked into thehallway.
“Don‘t worry, April. Tell Dean Jones I can handle this myself. As for him breathing fire, just soyou know, I breathe snow,” I winked at her, stopping at Conference Room A.
She rolled her eyes at me. “I know,” She moved her head toward me. “Have you heard? Students callyou the snow queen?”
“Really?” I raised my eyebrows as I smirked. “Cold heart, eh?” She only laughed at me, waved her hand,and continued walking back to their office. I went inside, closed the door, and walked toward the windowwhen I heard my phone ringing.
My eyebrows knitted when I saw Anya‘s name on the screen. “Anya?” I said as soon as I answered her.
“I‘m glad you‘re not busy but help me here. Lyra Helene‘s not stopping,” Her voice was worried, and fromher side, I could hear her wailing.
“Give the phone to her.” My heart was thumping in my chest with worries, wanting to go to them now.
“Mommmmyyyyyy!” She wailed so loud that I had to move slightly away from my phone. The two othergirls started crying, and I could imagine the stress Anya was experiencing now. Having triplets lookingexactly alike is cute, but not until they start fighting and crying.
“Lyra Helene, what‘s wrong?” I said gently.
“Mommy, do we really have a daddy?” she asked, surprising me with her question when I thought it wasalready settled. “Sander said... Sander said we‘re lying. He said he saw Sky on TV, and he‘s not ourdaddy.”
I closed one eye and pursed my lips when the three of them cried like they were singing in a choir, onlytheirs were annoying wailing sounds.
“Do we really have a daddy, mommy?” screamed Selene.
I rolled my eyes, massaging my temple as I answered impatiently. “Of course, you had. I won‘t give birthto you if you don‘t have,” I hissed, trying to calm myself.
“Where‘s our daddy, mommy?” cried Leyanne. My body jolted when I heard the door open and closed. Iturned around to see if he was the parent I was waiting for, but my lips parted when I saw who had comein.
“I‘m looking at him right now,” I answered, blinking my eyes to make sure I was really looking at the godof the Elite, the Mighty Sky. I turned my back on him. “Give the phone to Aunt Anya,” I whisperednervously. “Anj –” She sounded like she was crying, too. I would love to see her face, but I have anurgent matter to attend to now.
“Listen to me, Anya. I have a very important meeting now. Tell my children to stop crying because theirfather is coming tomorrow by hook or by crook, and I‘ll make sure to scrape Sander‘s head forsaying my children are lying.” I gritted my teeth, breathing hard before ending the call and turning toSky Mars, looking dashing in his business suit. “Ms. Anj Perry?” He asked, surprised to see me. “I wasexpecting an old professor. You‘re rather young and –”
“I get that a lot,” I cut him. “Please sit down.”
He did, but he was not breaking his gaze at me. I cleared my throat, sitting across from him. If only Iknew who I was meeting today, I had requested a meeting at the auditorium to be seated as faraway as possible from him.
“Ah, Finn Mars,” I exclaimed, realizing now the connection and remembering him from the pictures theyhad in the study room. “Yes, about my brother. I went to talk to you about his status. I heard he‘s notgraduating, and I hate to do this, but he must for my father‘s sake,” he explained.
I was glad I had my records and notes with me, giving me a chance to avoid Sky‘s eyes. I pushed thebrim of my eyeglasses as I checked on his name.
“His research paper lacks the information, Mr. Mars,” I said. “I told him unless he submitted me a paperwith substance, only then would I give him a chance to pass this subject.” He crossed his arms on hischest and leaned on the chair‘s backrest. “Is there anything we can do about it? Miss Perry, my father, isreally sick and his only wish is to see Finn graduate.” I swallowed hard, thinking fast, and then I noddedat him. “Okay, I will help him on one condition,” I said, closing my eyes, thinking I might lose my job oncehe complained.
“Condition?”
Without looking at him, I told him my term. “Pretend to be my children‘s father in their activity tomorrow,” Iuttered in a hushed tone. I bit my lower lip, waiting for him to roar like a lion or breath fire on me, butwhen I raised my head, I caught him staring at me. “No. I won‘t.” He answered, causing my heart to stopbeating. “Of course, why would you say yes,” I rose to my feet. I breathed hard, wanting to run away fromhim but not liking to go home for the first time. My heart ached for Lyra Helene, but I should haveanticipated this kind of problem when I lied to everyone about who the father of my children was. “Tellhim to see me tomorrow afternoon. I‘ll see what I can do to help him. Goodbye, Mr. Mars,” I said, walkingin a hurry toward the door and hoping to save my face from shame. “You‘ll still help even if I said no toyou?” His question stopped me from going out. I turned around, my lips trembling as I smiled. “My job isto help my students reach their goal, Mr. Mars. About the condition I laid to you, only a lunatic man wouldsay yes and wants to participate in my craziness.” “You are right, Ms. Perry. Only a lunatic man wouldsay yes, and I am not that man.”
