Ella's POVI took in a breath of the fresh air with more delight than I intended it to be. We were finally going home and it was a delight. It wasn't like the boys had consented to go home. If left to their wishes, we would all have had to sleep over at Gabby's house but nature had plans for them. I would have loved to blow nature a kiss if it had formed.An hour later, the boys and Melody had all fallen asleep while still watching TV and we had to pick them one after the other, carrying them out on our backs. They hadn't stirred as we picked them off the chair and carried them on our backs. I wanted to laugh at them, amused at how deeply they slept. The excitement of the day had finally hit them and it had hit them hard.We had thanked Gabby for her hospitality and she had thanked us for honoring her invite to the party. We had apologized on behalf of the boys for making her stay so late but she had told us not to bother that we didn't have to apologize for what her daughter was also

Ella's POVGabby thought we were both shopping at the supermarket buying groceries but in actual sense, she was the only one doing the grocery run while I was out here on yet another investigative duty.I had to confirm if the marks I saw were due to a neighborhood watch or a Melody watch. I had to know if the spies (if there were any) were watching Melody or if they were patrolling the neighborhood as they wanted to make it seem."Don't you have anything to buy?" Gabby said as she glanced at me and noticed that I hadn't thrown anything in the shopping cart I was pushing forward. The children were walking in front of us while we were walking behind them, pushing the cart after them."Oh!" I muttered, snapping out of my thoughts.I had been so lost in thoughts that I didn't realize that we had passed all the sections and were heading towards the cashier and I hadn't bought anything. I could understand why she was looking at me with arched eyebrows and curiosity in those eyes of hers."

Ella's POV"Don't worry. She will be fine." I said to Gabby who sat beside Melody and crying her out loud, looking worried."I hope so." She nodded, looking at me with red eyes. She sniffed and then looked away. "Thank you.""It's no problem." I said to her, shaking my head. "Melody is as important to me as she is to yours." I said to her, meaning it.It wasn't a lie. If Melody died or something happened to her, it would be that our mission here was a failure and Kevin wouldn't get his ten years back. It would be annoying if I wasted the trip here and didn't get what I wanted."You are an angel, Ella." She said, smiling at me as she rubbed gently at her daughter's hand, as if she was willing her to wake up right there.I nodded, my throat stiff as I couldn't find it in me to speak. I knew I was a good person and could lay everything I've got down for people but calling me an angel was a long stretch.If only she knew why I was actually concerned about her daughter, I wondered how she

Liam's POVI was sure Gabby would be suspicious of us at this rate and knew that there was something wrong with the way we were going frequently to her house for a visit but she didn't say anything.Well, she hadn't said anything yet. She was busy fussing over her kid and making sure another episode like that didn't repeat itself. I was worried for all of them but I was tired of everything.It had been silent in the school and while taking them to school and back from it that I couldn't help but wonder if the witches hadn't found out where Melody schooled or just didn't want to involve the other kids. I suspected that it was the latter. With how meticulous they were, I doubted that they hadn't made their research to find out the school Melody went to.I could bet my position in the pack that they knew everything about the little girl and didn't want to attack when she was around other humans. Like us, they didn't want their identities to be risked out in the open to the human world. T

Ella's POV"Mummy!" Nathan pulled me gently by the cloth and called, trying to get my attention.I dropped the egg I was whisking and focused on him, plastering a smile on my face for his benefit so he wouldn't know how tormented his mother was."Hey, sweetie." I said to him.He frowned and I wondered what the problem was for a moment before I remembered that they had told me not to treat them like babies again. I had responded to him in a way that I used to when they were still two and the boys no longer liked it. They would always insist that they were growing up and no longer the babies they used to be.I knew they made a good argument but it wasn't easy for me to adapt to. No matter how grown they were, they were still going to be my babies.I glanced at Nathan's face and realized the frown was still there. It wasn't showing of disappearing anytime soon so I quickly corrected myself."Is there a problem, Nathan?" I asked.He beamed, looking pacified and I almost laughed. If he alr
