"Pedro, I'm Beatrix and I'm glad to meet you. You have nice hair," said Beatrix with a giggle.
"Really! Thank you. Thank you." the little boy replied in excitement.
"See that boy? I told him several times that his hair was good looking and not once did he say thank you."
"Aunt Gina, I told you thank you."
"But you only said it once," Regina said with folded arms.
Pedro sighed.
How could his aunt Gina, a big adult be jealous because he said thank you to a beautiful girl twice?
"Wait, Maggie, who else is in the car? I smell wolf," said Rolandro.
"Uh? Someone else is in the car? Is it another beautiful playmate?" Pedro asked. If that was true, then it's an added bonus.
"Yeah, I do smell a wolf. An Omega to be precise." Mel said. The others felt the same way.
If it was a shifted Omega, then it means she wasn't some little playmate that Pedro was expecting. Nevertheless, they were curious to see her. Why didn't she come out when Beatrix did? Was she shy?
Magnolia walked over to Lavana's side and opened the door.
"Oh, honey. Are you shy? Come on, don't be. I told you we are a family, didn't I? Come, let's go see my family." she said in a soothing voice and Lavana sighed.
"Come on, you'll be fine. See, Beatrix is fine, isn't she?"
At this point, Lavana decided to also come out. Even though she hated being in a pack due to the bad memories but at least this one was small and she kinda had a warm feeling in her heart when she got here.
"Hello everyone." she waved. "I'm called Lavana, Lava for short." she greeted with the smile she could pull up.
Everyone could see how skinny she was compared to Beatrix and they began to think about what tragic backstory she had. Although Omegas are a weaker wolf kind, it doesn't mean that have to be slim say less of being so skinny like this young lady before them.
She made them want to surround her and protect her. Despite her malnourished look, her beauty was still showing. If she is nurtured back to health, damn! How many heads would she turn?
Since she was here, they were going to keep her and pamper her.
Pedro, when he heard Uncle Mel mention that the person inside was an Omega, his mind returned to that day when the innocent Omega lady got killed by those damn vampires all in a bid to save him. She was successful in saving him but she got killed and her body was taken away by more than one vampire. He was blaming himself a lot but he recalled that soon, her statue would be made and erected in the pack soon.
Then he can sit by her side.
He curiously watched the lady alight from the car and walk over from the other side of the car to the spot where everyone could see her and then she greeted.
His eyes widened in shock and then they reddened.
"Miss..." he exclaimed and ran toward her. Reaching her in no time, he hugged her thigh.
"Miss... you are alive. You are alive." he cried.
His reaction stunned everyone.
What was happening?
Lavana was surprised as to why a little boy would hug her thigh and cry.
Thinking back to when she was alone in the forest, the first innocent person she met and saved was a boy. Remembering his hair colour, she gasped and squatted to his level.
She could see his face well now.
This was the boy that she saved that day. He made it. Thank heavens!
Her eyes teared up.
"I'm glad you're okay now, Pedro," she said with emotion.
She'd heard his name when he introduced himself excitedly to Beatrix earlier.
"I'm sorry. We couldn't come on time. I swear I really ran fast that night. But I wasn't fast enough, I guess." he sniffed with
"No, honey, you did your best. You helped a lot by running to safety. Don't I see you here in one piece now? I'm also in one piece too." she said and brought him into a warm hug.
She was right to take a gamble that night.
This little boy reminded her of her late playmate, Austin Cararner. He would have been as big as her now if he were still alive. If that bastard Alpha Blake didn't come to claim their lives for no just reason.
She patted Pedro's back gently.
Seeing this, the two couples had a hunch. This must be the Omega lady who put her life on the line to save their little boy that night in the forest.
Her statue was due to be delivered in two days; to be erected in the pack and now she was here in the flesh! How miraculous. Now their son would no longer be so moody and crying; feeling guilty for causing someone's premature death. She was alive and hugging the boy. Haha, this is great.
They walked to her and all went to their knees.
Then they kowtowed.
"Eh? What are you guys doing?" Magnolia asked in shock at their strange actions.
Did they want to scare this Lavana (who she tried hard to convince and bring here) away? What the heck was going on in their brains? Had they lost it?
"Stop this and stand up," she said to them but they kept kowtowing.
"Thank you for saving, Pedro," Rolandro said after they stopped kowtowing.
Lavana saw he had red hair just like Pedro, so this must be his father. He was a carbon copy of him. The lady next to him must be his wife then and Pedro's mother. The other two should be pack members who are close to the boy.
"Er... please get up. I can't accept your bowing to me." Lavana said, looking flustered.
The two couples rose and looked at her carefully. They were thinking about how to make her fat now. She was way too skinny up close! The little boy's saviour indeed can't be like this.
"Once again, thank you for saving our little Pedro. Without your help, we don't know where or what state we'll be in by now. Thank you very much, Lavana." Carmelia said as she pulled Lavana into an embrace.
Lavana felt warmth. She remembered when her mum would give her this big, loving hug. When they broke the hug, Lavana looked like she'd zoned out. The others just waited for her to come back to reality.
She must have a really tragic backstory. A hug from Carmelia made her zone out like this. Well, she deserved their waiting. Beatrix walked to Lavana and held her hand, successfully bringing her back to reality.
"Beatrix..." Lavana called out softly.
"I'm here, big sis."
Beatrix knew that if she didn't bring her out of that spaced-out state in time, her aura (which could turn sinister) would be felt by all of them since they were all supernatural beings. Her aura was something an Omega wolf shouldn't have.
Yes, these people seemed kind and warm but none can tell their reaction if they find out that she was not even a hybrid but a tribrid!
"I'm sorry for zoning out. I just haven't felt this way in a long time. I got reminded of my late mum." Lavana said, wiping a stray tear off.
"Oh, dear. What ordeal you must have been through. Why are we standing here? Let's go in." Carmelia said, pointing to her home.
Look at how flat Lavana's tummy is, she must not have eaten anything at all, same as the little Beatrix.
"Thank you for receiving me and my little sister kindly. To be honest, I was quite nervous on the way here," said Lavana.
"Oh, don't be, young lady. Here everyone is our family. You are welcome to stay here as long as you like." said Mel.
"Uh, thank you, sir."
"Hahaha. Don't call me that. Just call me by my name. I'm Mel. This is my beautiful wife and soulmate, Regina." he introduced with his arm around his smiling wife.
"Mr Mel and Mrs Regina."
"Remove the title," said Regina as she left her husband's embrace. She walked to Lavana and took her right hand, tenderly stroking it.
"Just call me Regina, young lady," she said in a soothing voice.
Before Lavana knew it, Regina had led her into the house, with the others following after them.
Pedro took Beatrix to his room to show her the toys and fun things that he possessed.
He was happy to get a playmate that was this cute. It's not like there were no other kids his age in the pack. He just wanted a cute playmate from his favourite people. Now his aunt Magnolia had brought a cute little playmate for him. How could he not be happy? She also brought his saviour and ended the pain and guilt he felt in his little heart. This Beatrix was his saviour's little sister. Of course, he must treat her super well.
"Beatrix, from now on, whatever you ask, I'll give it to you," he said to her as they played with his fascinating toys.
"I want this bike. It's pink and stylish." Beatrix said, stroking the toy bike of her choice.
"Hehe. That's one of my favourites. But since you like it. Then it's yours. When mom takes me shopping later, I'll bring you along. You'll see many things," he said to her excitedly.
She nodded and started playing with her newly gifted bike.
Back home, she was never allowed to play with these. She had to be serious and learn how to master basic things for an apprentice witch like her. Being a noble young lady wasn't all bed and roses.
While others in the witch academy were allowed a fun time, she was tutored alone in a class by selected highly praised teachers. After that, she would meet up with her main teacher. Her meals were on a so-called healthy strict routine.
