(Nikki P. O. V)
Six years later
I was busy with my work going throw the budget of my pack and the magic academy when I picked up my phone to see the principal of the twin’s school was calling me.
*What have they done now?* I thought as I received the call. It was not the first time they had created trouble in their school. Since they are the grandchildren of the moon goddess, they are full of energy and mischief that they can’t stay quiet and always create trouble for other people. Sometimes even their protector had a hard time looking after them.
“Hello, Mr. Anderson,” I ask him. “How can I help you?”
“Luna, can you please come and pick your children up? There is something I want to talk with you about your children,” the principal told me.
“Okay, I will be there in half an hour,” I said.
“Thank you, Luna,” he said and hung up on me. I sighed, closed my laptop, grabbed my purse, keys, and mobile, and then walked inside Cole’s office.
“The principal called me and told me to pick the twins up,” I said to Cole while entering his office.
“They create trouble again?” he asked, looking at me, and I nodded my head while massaging my temple due to headache.
“I don’t know. The principal did not tell me anything. I will know when I go there. I don’t know what to do with them anymore, Cole. They keep creating trouble for me. If this continues, I am afraid they will get expelled from the school,” I said while holding my face in my hand as I cried my heart out in front of him. I don’t know why I feel so emotional nowadays. Generally, I am not the type of person who cries at small things like this, but nowadays, I quickly get tired and emotional for no reason.
“Hey, hey, don’t cry, love. I will talk to them when they get home, okay?” Cole asked while hugging me and wiping my face, and I nodded at him. He kissed my forehead. I said goodbye to him and walked outside of the castle.
I got inside my car and drove to the twin’s school. It takes me 20 minutes to get there. I parked my car in a parking lot and walked inside the school.
“Luna,” the receptionist said while standing up from her seat and slightly bowing in front of me.
“I am here to meet the principal and pick the twins up from the school,” I informed the receptionist. She nodded, told me to follow her, and then guided me to the principal’s office.
“Sir, the twin’s mother, Luna Nikki, is here to meet you,” the receptionist said after knocking on the door and peeking inside the office.
“Send her in,” the principal said from inside his office.
“You can go in now,” the receptionist informed me. I thanked her, and I walked inside the office.
When I entered the office, I first saw Luna Rubby standing with her son, who had a broken nose and some bruises on his face, while glaring at the twins.
“What have they done now?” I to the principal.
“So, you know that your children are wrong time?” Luna Rubby asks in a stern voice.
“Luna Rubby, I would like to advise you to mind your words and actions. I know that you are angry that the twins beat your son up, but this is not the way to behave in front of your queen,” the principal warned him.
“You beat him up?” I ask the twins while glaring at them.
“Yes,” Adam whispers with a whimper.
“Why?” I ask in a stern voice.
“Because he made fun of us. He said we are freaks who talk to ourselves and play with ourselves,” this time, it was Ashton who answered me.
“Because you are. Not only me but other students have also seen you both talking and petting the air,” Collen, Luna Rubby’s sun yelled at her.
“No, we are not. I have told you many times that they were our pets, Fufu and Cloudy,” Ashtons shouted at him.
“If they are, then why can’t anyone other than you two see them?” Collen asks them. And I hit my head in frustration, remembering that I had forgotten to tell and explain about their invisible animal to them.
*It’s all my fault. I should have explained it to the twins before sending them to the school* I thought while massaging my temple.
“Luna, your children have created many troubles for our school. But we have ignored it because they are the werewolves’ princes. But this time, they have crossed their limits. Not only have they beat the children up, but they also made stories of invisible pets. Take it as your last warning. If something like this happens again, I would have no choice but to expel them from the school.” The principal warned me.
“I am sorry, sir, Luna Ruby. I will make sure that it will not happen again,” I said and apologized to them.
“Kid, apologize to Luna Ruby, and Collen,” I order the twins.
“But Mama,” Ashton objected, but they did it when I narrowed my eyes at them.
“I am letting it go this time, Luna, but if it happens again, I will let my husband deal with it,” she said with a huff and walked away with her son.
“I am sorry, once again, sir,” I said to the principal and walked out of his office with the twins when he nodded his head at me.
“Mama, why did you apologize to them when you know about Fufu and Cloudy?” Ashton asks me.
“Where are your bags?” I ask them instead of answering them.
“In our classroom,” Adams said to me.
“Go and bring your bags from the classroom. I will be waiting inside the car for you,” I said to them and walked out from there while dialing Emma’s number on my phone. I explained everything to her that happened in the school, and she said that she would erase the principal, Ruby’s, and other students’ memories as a precaution.
“Mom, you still haven’t answered our question,” Ashtons said while handing me his bag.
“I apologize to them because I needed to do it. I know you have many questions in your mind, but I don’t know how to explain everything to you. So Grandma Emma will explain everything to you when she comes home to meet us and have dinner with us,” I said while buckling them to their seats.
“Anyway, what would you like to eat for dinner?” I ask them while getting inside the car.
“Pasta and spaghetti for dinner and ice cream for dessert,” Adams said.
“What about you, Ashton?” I ask him, but he looks away from me.
“Are you angry with me?” I asked him, but he didn’t answer me.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you that Aunt Alisha and Stella called me to inform me that they were coming for dinner and would stay on weekends with us. Since it had been a long time, we had spent time with each other. We are also planning to go on a picnic and amusement park with them, ” I smiled, knowing it would make him talk to me, and it worked.
“Really?” Ashton asked, looking excited, and I nodded my head at him. And he started telling me what he was planning to do during weekends.
After we reached home, Cole asked me what happened at the school, and I told him everything. I also told him how I was planning to resolve this problem, and he told me that he would talk to the twins so that they didn’t create any more trouble for me, and I couldn’t be any more grateful to him.
