Chapter 1098: Side story: first day

Today was the day on which Sean and Selena going to enter their school life finally and Hope was very excited, at the same time, nervous for her twins.

"Kace!" Hope shouted at her mate. "Can't you move faster? We will be late if you don't hurry!" Hope was struggling to make Sean stop moving around and put his socks on for him, but the little boy kept shifting into his beast. "Shift back!" She almost lost her temper in order to make her son listen to her.

Yes, the twins were only able to shift into their beast a few days ago. Thus, they were still very excited to explore more about their other form. It was kind of cute to see two little wolves roaming around the house.

But, it wouldn't be fun if they got caught in their beast's form, as they should keep this as secret.

Yes, the little ones were still not protected by the magic that helped their people conceal from the normal humans' eyes because they needed to reach a certain age for the magic to affect them.

Therefore, going to school was quite risky, yet Hope wanted her children to experience this. Though Kace didn't disagree with her, but he told her all the possible worst consequences.

His idea was to have a homeschooling teacher come to their house, but Hope turned off the idea immediately once she heard that.

She didn't like the prospect of having her children trapped inside the house, unable to interact with the other children of their age. It would be quite a sad and gloomy childhood.

"I am coming, I am coming," Kace said from behind the closed door. The lycan was struggling with Selena's short hair. She wanted her father to braid her hair, but no matter how many times Kace said that he couldn't do that because her hair was too short, the girl only made a fuss over this simple matter.

Selena wanted a braid and Kace had to do it. She refused to listen to her father's desperate explanations.

"How can I braid your short hair my little girl," Kace was almost crying when Selena shot him a fierce look. She looked even fiercer than Hope when she was in the same age.

Selena pouted her lips, took her bag and walked out of her room, leaving Kace alone there with colorful hair bands in his hands.

Just two days back, the little girl wanted to have short hair like her mother, because Hope just got her hair cut, as it was too difficult to take care of their toddlers with long hair.

However, today, on her first day of school, Selena wanted her hair to be braided like usual, which was only next to impossible.

Sigh..

Shaking his head, Kace stood up and followed his daughter out to find Hope in the living room, trying to appease the upset Selene.

"I want my hair to be braided, I look pretty that way.." Selena sobbed and Kace carried Sean, who was trying to sneak out to his room again, because he didn't seem that excited about going to school.

"You look pretty this way," Hope said, encouraging her daughter. "I have told you that once you cut your hair, you will not be able to have the braids that you like until your hair is long enough."

Hope was exceptionally patient with her children and looked very mature, which made Kace fall in love with her all over again. She knew what to do with their little ones, who were very hard to be handled sometimes.

"Now, since we can't braid your hair, I will just put a hairpin, okay?" Hope persuaded her once again and finally Selena agreed with her.

Thus, the drama of this early morning finallycame to an end just like that.

The next thing that Hope and Kace should do was to take them to their school and pick them up again later.

Selena was very excited to see new friends, but Sean didn't look happy that happy. He wanted to stay inside his bedroom or shift into his beast and roam around the neighborhood.

"Remember, don't shift in front of other people, okay?" Kace squatted down in front of Sean and talked very seriously to his son, because he knew how adventurous and rebellious he was. "This is absolute and I don't want you to argue with me in this case. Understood?"

Sean looked at his father sharply with his blue eyes, ready to argue, but remembering how scary his mother could be when she got upset, he didn't have any other choice. Since he knew that it was essential for them to keep this as a secret, though he didn't quite understand what the reason and it was still a question for him about why couldn't all the humans shift like he could .

"Okay," he said.

"Good boy," Kace ruffled Sean's head and grinned, but Sean swatted his hand and frowned.

"I am not a dog," he protested, as he always heard that sentence usually used to praise the dogs in their neighborhood.

==============

"Calm down, they will be fine," Kace said to Hope, who was frowning all through their journey back home after leaving their children in their school. "We will pick them up later."

"But, today is their first day and I feel bad for not staying with them," Hope murmured, as the car stopped in front of their house.

"Don't worry, I have done this before when you went to school for the first time," Kace reminded Hope that he was there on her first day as well.

Hope smiled when she remembered that. "Yeah, Serefina was mad when she saw you there. I still remember her expression at that time vividly."

Sadness clouded her eyes when she remembered the witch, so did Kace's. Among the three Donovans, he was the closest person to Serefina and the two of them got along very well, though in a weird way.

"Okay, go inside first," Kace said, so they wouldn't be enveloped by sadness for a long time, because he knew Hope would start tearing up when they talked about the witch, as it would lead them to remember about Lana as well.

"Where will you go?" Hope frowned because she realized that Kace didn't drive into the garage and was about to leave again.

"There is something I have to do at work," Kace gave a short explanation and kissed Hope's forehead before she got off the car. "I will come back to pick you up and we will go to the school before their last class is over."

Though it was a little bit weird, but Hope didn't ask much and then got down from the car.

==============

A white beast entered a certain class, moving slowly between the teachers and then walked closer to two children, a boy and a girl, who were sitting next to each other.

Sean watched the white beast with a deep frown that reminded Kace of Hope when she was upset or saw something that she thought was not right.

[Don't tell your mommy about this.] Kace mind- linked his two children and then sat down in front of Selena, who was smiling widely, as she rubbed his head, while her twin brother could only look at their father in disagreement.

[You are hopeless dad.] He mind- linked him.
