The Alpha and the Teacher

Cassie POV “Cassie, are you sure you’re able to handle the twins on your own?” Asks my brother Trevor. “Yes, Trevor. I’ve been babysitting for a while now. I know I’m only 16, but Lilly packed the diaper bag for me and made sure I had everything I need.” I respond to my brother. Trevor tiredly says, “Ok, we really appreciate you taking the twins out for awhile to let us rest.” “It’s no big deal. I enjoy spending time with my niece and nephew. We’re just going to go for a walk to the park, and I might grab some coffee at Java Joe’s while I’m out. We won’t be out for too long.” I say while grabbing the diaper to load up the car. I told Trevor and Lilly I would take the twins out for a walk yesterday so they could rest. Not only is having two week old twins tiring, but my brother is the Alpha Of the Crescent Moon pack. After finding out his high school sweetheart was also his mate they didn’t take long to have their mating ceremony. My father handed down the title of Alpha and my mother the title of Luna shortly after their mating ceremony. I always hoped I’d find my mate in school just like my brother did, but I’ve haven’t even had one date yet let alone actual boyfriend. I go to school with a mix of humans and werewolves. Most of the werewolves are too intimidated by the fact that my brother is the Alpha to even consider asking me out on a date. In Trevor’s eyes I’m still his 6 year old little sister instead of his 16 year old sister who should be able to go out on a date. He’s very protective of me. I pack the diaper bag, double stroller, and car seats in my car before grabbing the twins Beckett and Brynley. Those two little nuggets have me wrapped around their litter fingers. I adore my niece and nephew. I’ve always loved children and look forward having children of my own one day. For now though, having these two around is enough. When I turn 18 hopefully I can find my mate and start a wonderful life with him. As I pulled into the parking lot at the park I started to get a bad feeling. I can’t exactly explain it, but I just feel like something is about to happen. Cassie! Are you and the twins ok? My brother mind links me. Yes, Trevor. Everyone is fine. Is everything ok with you? I mind link back. No! Keeps the twins! Keep them safe! Trevor! What’s going on? Cassie, I explain everything right now, but just promise me you will keep the twins safe! I promise Trevor! Was the last thing I mind linked before it was shut completely of. Cassie, where are you?! My mother mind links me. I’m at the park with the twins mom! Is everyone ok? I cannot mind link anyone else. I can hear my mom cry through mind link. No, Cassie honey. We’re being attacked. You need to take the twins and stay safe. Whatever you do, don’t come back here. They may not know about you or the twins. I’m not sure how much they know, but we kept the twins arrival private. Hopefully they don’t know. You need to run Cassie. Run as far away as possible. We love you so much. That was the last thing I heard through mind link before everyone was completely shut out. I wasn’t able to get through to anyone in the pack. I’m scared and alone. No, I’m not alone. I have two beautiful babies I need to care for. How in the world am I suppose to care for two week old twins on my own? I’m only 16! I haven’t even met my wolf yet! I haven’t completed my first shift. I’ve never even experienced my first love. I have no idea how I’m going to do this. I look in the back seat of my car at my niece and nephew. “I will keep you safe. I promise.” I sat in car and cried for hours while the twins happily slept. I have no idea what I’m going to do, but decided a walk would be a good start. As I pushed the twins stroller down Main Street in the little town of Sweetser, Georgia I noticed a dinner with the television on the news. As I walked in I couldn’t believe what I was hearing or seeing. They were at Crescent Moon pack! Discussing the slaughter of the whole village! The anchorman said there were no survivors. Apparently nobody knew what happened or why. My heart started pounding. My whole body started shivering. I was alone. I was really alone. I figured as much when I wasn’t able to mind link anyone, but actually seeing my village completely gone and destroyed made everything more real. I had to figure out a way to keep us safe and together. Unfortunately there was no place for us to go tonight. We had to settle in the car for the night. Luckily it was August in Georgia so the night wasn’t too cold, but I couldn’t keep sleeping in my car with two babies. The next morning was Monday, but there was no way I was going to be able to go to school while I had the babies. I needed to figure this out. While having lunch back at the diner Monday afternoon I saw my English teacher Mrs. Crawford. “Cassie! What are doing here? Why aren’t you in school?” She asks. She looks down at the twins and gives me a confused look. “Honey, are ok? What’s going on?” She’s asks with such concern I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I started crying telling her how I lived in the village that was destroyed. I told her about the twins and how I don’t have anywhere to go. After finishing telling her my story she looks almost angry before mumbling something about not believing I actually happened. Before I could even ask what she was talking about. Mrs. Crawford gives me a sympathetic smile and says, “It’s alright dear. We will figure this out together.” She was right. We did figure this out together. Mrs. Crawford’s husband was on the police force and was able to find a family willing to take me in with the twins. The only thing was they lived in California.
