"You're just too kind. We're so lucky to have you. You're the Moon Goddess' greatest gift to our family. Alright, we'll do as you say. Let's just focus on your recovery." The golden sunset poured through the healing center's windows, wrapping the four of them in warm light. Watching that perfect family scene, I felt like nothing more than an outsider. I was never a part of this family. I didn't belong in that warmth. I tried to speak, but no one could hear me. I wanted to run, but my soul was still bound to Mom. I could only watch in silence as they repeatedly shamed me.

“Me and mommy lived in a big house. Other people lived there also.” “You lived in an apartment in an apartment building. But this house is a mansion where only our family lives. All of our family is not related by blood but we are still family. Like Franco, Nino and Bianca. They are our family even if Bianca isn’t my mother.” Nicholas nods his head as if he understands but I see the thoughtfulness and confusion in his big eyes. “Everyone in this house is eager to meet you. They have waited for so long. Long before you were born to meet you.” “Are there other children?”

“My sister’s in Portland. I’ll probably just stay here.” “You should go see her.” “Maybe.” He sets down his pencil. “What’s your family like?” I describe them carefully. Dad, the insurance executive who played linebacker in college. Mom, who volunteers at church and plans perfect dinner parties. Emily, my younger sister, is recently engaged to a lawyer. “Sounds very…” Miles searches for the word. “Traditional,” I supply. “I was going to say ‘structured.’” I almost smile. “That too.” He’s quiet for a moment, still looking at his sketches. “Do they know?”

The two family’s had always been close. Bailey Everleigh never thought too much about it until the summer that everything changed.

They understood the way things were done in them that people who didn’t have eight-plus kids could never.

Ajax never knew my family, mainly because I was so fucked up that I never wanted to tell anyone what I had saw through my young innocent eyes, nor did I really want to talk about family life when I had just been placed in a care home. My mother, Nia, had three siblings, Parker, Pamela and Shay. Shay married when I was 10, into a big rich family and had two children with her husband, the last time I saw her was when I was 12, Parker had a wife, but decided to murder her one night after he caught her cheating on him with their next door neighbour, Andrea, no wonder why, she was beautiful, but still no excuse to cheat.

I needed to learn how to drive as well, so I could drive too. Soon, we walked through the doors of a modern home. The house was big, not as big as the Alphas’ mansion, but it was big enough for a family. It had two storeys and elegant modern features. “Welcome to our house,” Lucia said as we entered, only to find a few people in the living room. Lydia, a few female elders, Flynn’s mother, and Lucia’s Mother were seated, sipping on some tea. Did we just walk in on some grown-up gossip time?

"But here we are. Mama with her PhD and full professorship. Dada still running Sterling Corporation—somehow at seventy-three." "Distinguished seventy-three," Alexander muttered. "Thomas being peak annoying teenager. Leo being peak chaotic twelve-year-old. Emma and Mason being the best cousins. And me—graduating high school with honors, heading to Columbia in the fall." Everyone cheered. "Our family isn't conventional. Never has been. But it's ours. Built on love and stubbornness and refusing to let the world tell us who to be." She raised her glass of sparkling cider. "To family. The one you're born into and the one you choose. To Mama and Dada for choosing each other every day for eighteen

They came to search for something and they wouldn’t stop until they got it. Eleanor just sighed deeply and agreed, walking back to the living room and sitting on the red couch. They didn’t have the biggest house in the city, but it was enough to give their kids space. They never struggled financially, Eleanor was a doctor, which a lot of people were thankful for because it was hard to see doctors willing to help in those situations; her husband was a lawyer, but his job situation was a bit harder due to the crime mostly having stopped since the creatures arrived in the city. It was a two storey house placed the closest to the park, it had a beautiful garden perfect for their kids to play wit

For the first time, my parents pull me into a hug and gently reassure me. "It's okay. We'll pay for you to retake the SAT next time."
