Chapter 3

Reyna Andrews •

"Welcome home." Announce the elderly lady, as me and Varian enter from the front door of the house.

"Wow." I awe, looking around the living room.

It felt like home and love in this house.

"Does Varien need a diaper change?" She asks, looking at us, smiling.

I forgot about his diaper. Jeez, I'm bad at this.

I look at Varien, and he smiles at me.

"Yes Ma'am," I answer, blushing in embarrassment.

"Call me Janet, and my granddaughter, Jennifer."

"Okay, Janet. Thank you for everything." I thanked her, taking a few steps inside the house.

"How's Varien?" Ask Jennifer, besides me.

"He's hungry for milk." As Varien just giggles at me.

"Don't you breastfeed him?"

Ooooohhhh...

"Oh, not really, but I do need baby powder," I answer, looking at Janet.

"I'll go to the store right now. Jennifer stay with?" She said, looking at me to answer.

"Reyna," I answer back, smiling a little.

"Stay here with Reyna and Varien, okay sweety?' Requested Janet to Jennifer, patting her head.

"Yes, grandma." Answer Jennifer, as she looks at Varien.

"I'll be back with baby powder, okay?"

"Be careful," I said as she nodded, opening the front door to leave.

"I will Reyna." Leaving us alone in the house.

As she walks away to the store, Varien looks at me.

"So tell me more about you Miss Reyna?" Jennifer asks, looking at me.

"Well it's kinda personal, but I don't mind sharing with you," I answer as she nodded.

"I was born with my family. They loved me and all, but they tragedy pass away from an accident."

"But how are you here?" She asks, looking at Varien.

I gotta lie before anyone discovers my secret.

"I run away from the adoption center. I can't handle what was happening. And my son will get hurt too so we ran away together for a happy ending." I explain everything.

Half true tho.

"Wow Miss Reyna." She said, patting Varian's head.

"Jennifer, call me Reyna. It's okay."

"Okay, Reyna."

I sit down in a chair, near a table as I sigh to myself.

"How old is Varien?" Jennifer asks, looking at him.

Varien looks at me, that's when my inner wolf answer.

He's 1 year old

Matilda whispers in pain...and she needed to rest. I hope she survives...

"Here's 1 year old," I answer, smiling at him.

Isn't he adorable?

"Who's the father?"

"It's complicated," I answered sadly.

I just can't talk about it. Even if he isn't my real son.

"Can I carry him?" She asks with a small smile.

I nodded.

"He's so cute. I bet he gets it from you, Reyna." She said as I handle Varien to Jennifer.

"Awe, so where are your parents?" I ask as she looks up at me.

"Oh, they're on a honeymoon vacation."

"So you decided to stay with grandma?"

"Yup, she makes the best chocolate cookies." She said as Varien makes bubble noises.

I'm tired...

My wolf form/Matilda must have wasted a lot of energy from all that running to human territory.

"Um hey, I'm kinda tired, would you mind taking care of Varien for a while?" I ask, and Jennifer nodded.

"Sure. It'll be fun. And you can sleep in my room if you want. I don't mind."

"Thank you, Jennifer."

I kiss Varien's cheek, and he giggles at me with a smile.

I stood up, and look around for the staircase.

"Um, where's your bedroom?"

"Upstairs to a hallway, on the second right room." She said, pointing upstairs and I nodded in understanding.

"Okay, thanks again."

Things are getting better...
