Chapter 1 - Present As the sun came in through the bedroom's window, the young woman woke up with someone in her arms as usual... The little boy, who always kept her company and peacefully slept while she could only see the wisps of his dark brown hair, which were of the same color as his father's... Smiling, she kissed his head before carefully leave the bed, being a little afraid to wake him up as she put a pillow in his arms when the small hands sought her warmth before he embraced the soft object and kept sleeping. ... Pleased with that scene, Giselle went downstairs to use the bathroom since her room didn't have its own, like the master bedroom or the one her step-brothers shared in the past... The oldest one no longer lived at home, and even when the second son went away to college, she didn't mind remaining in her own space in the attic. So there were no fights and arguments when the youngest declared it his until Aaron moved back and made him leave to the room in the basement. ... Taking her time, she got ready without rush before going to the kitchen to quickly prepare something to eat... After a toast, scrambled eggs, and an avocado smoothie, she left a note on the fridge door saying she went to the Pack training since she was the only one that would wake up that earlier... Giselle's family was practically all Human and composed of Elle, her mother, stepfather, his three children, and the little Eddy, her step-nephew. Of course, she didn't think of the boy like that as he was her Mate's son, besides the fact that she had been taking care of him since she met him, and the most important thing about it all was that he was the only one besides Elle and her mother with Werewolf blood among the seven. ... So their routine was quite different from each other, and the only times the whole family got together in the Pack's house was during some weekends or the Full Moon nights... Mirror Night had training for its Human members in case of emergencies like hunters show up there. But even this was handled by the Dominant wolves at different times as they tried to create the best schedule for those few members who joined them through mating. ... Thus, it wasn't uncommon for Giselle to be there alone or a few times during the week with her nephew after picking him up from kindergarten... As she finished stretching, the young she-wolf checked what time it was on the phone before texting her mother, warning her about how she left Edward's lunch already packed in the kitchen. She should message Aaron about it, but most of the time, the man would ignore her or get annoyed if it was no big deal, so now... Giselle would no longer send it to him for silly things like this. ... Especially since emergencies were more easily solved by phone calls when something happened to Eddy... "Elle? Can you help me here for a moment, please?" As soon as she put the small device away again, the she-wolf heard the Alpha call her by the nickname everyone knew in the Pack. "Yes, Alpha." And with a smile on her face, she agreed, rushing to his side to help him with whatever he needed her assistance with. The older Werewolf and his Mate were both very dear to Elle, and the man in specific was almost like a father figure in her life since she had never seen the man who gave her half of her DNA despite knowing who he was. "... Alpha, what are all these things?" Helping him remove some boxes from his car, Giselle couldn't stop herself before the question left her lips. After all, other people could help him with this, but still, her Alpha had specifically called her to handle it. "I'm sure you wouldn't tell anyone about this, so I wanted you to be the first to know," Dylan mentioned, moving closer to her ear while Elle thought that even if she wanted to, there weren't that many people she could share that secret with. "Noah is coming to visit us today, and the reason behind it is the same one why I bought these little gifts for him." "Little... Gifts?" Looking at the boxes before them, she couldn't understand where such gifts were small. "Yeah, it's a little too early for this, but I just couldn't resist when I saw them at the mall the other day after they told me the news." What he meant with such words was more than obvious, even if he hadn't told her the big news yet. "And that is exactly why they are coming here today to share it with Magnolia and his parents in person." "Oh, Goddess! Are they-?!" Stopping herself, Elle soon began to ask him, excited at the news that her friend would soon become a father. "Yes, they will. But don't forget, don't tell anyone." Again mentioning it to her, the Alpha saw her nod before assisting him in place all the stuff somewhere his Mate wouldn't find them yet. ... And seeing the beautiful smile that remained on Giselle's face now, Dylan hoped that one day she would also find that same kind of happiness as the other young Alpha did... Meanwhile, back in the she-wolf family's house, one by one, the other members were waking up... Her mother, Sabrina, was the first to go downstairs. The forty-two-year-old brunette woman didn't look a day older than her thirty-five self, and it was strange enough to make her stepchildren believe at first think she was fifteen years younger than their father, not only five back then. Charles, her husband, was the second one, sitting next to his wife with a coffee in hand, after giving her a kiss that was annoying to the second-youngest member of the d’Alberto's family... His son, Ronnie, a typical teenage boy that liked parties and was the soccer team's ace... Joining them last, the twenty-five-year-old young man, Aaron, soon asked them if anyone knew where his son was as the boy was no longer sleeping in his room like in the night before. "I hadn't seen him yet, but are you sure he's not just hiding from you in the bedroom as he did a few days ago?" Ronnie asked him with pancake yet on his mouth while his brother rubbed his eyes, trying to stay awake as he was probably the one who most needed coffee among them at the moment. "No, I fell asleep there last night after reading him a book, and when I woke up, I was alone in bed." "Did you check in Elle's room?" As if it was the most common thing in the world to happen, his father quickly made another question and, hearing that... Aaron felt like a fool as he thought about all the money he spent to convince Ronnie to move to the basement. He wanted Eddy to have the room next to his when his father and stepmother asked them to continue living together when he planned to move out after the boy's first birthday. So, thanking Sabrina for the coffee, he just replied to the other man that he didn't before following his father's words, heading to where he soon found his son sleeping peacefully... Being unable not to notice as soon as he opened the door how the young woman arranged Eddy's clothes in the chair close to the desk... Everything was in there, from his shoes to a pair of clean boxers. Perfectly prepared to be worn in another day in a kindergarten, and as much as Aaron hated how warmly it made his heart feel, he just ignored it, going to bed, as usual, to wake up his son as another day started for them.
