Got Myself Back

My father

Dad was the gamma, so he had to work in the morning at the parliament building and in the evening go to the training grounds to conduct trainings.

My mom was a chef. She was the head chef for the royal family and also had a restaurant of her own. Plus whenever needed she would go train females on the grounds; ie whenever dad asked her to.

Mom and dad left home at 7 am; dropped me in the kindergarten and Aiden in school.

On April 24th, it was just a normal day for us; dad like always kissed mommy, Aiden and I goodbye and left for office. It was a usual day. Soon mom left for work too and Aiden and I left for school.
We had a normal day and came home, did our chores, mom came home, we made dinner. It was a rule in our house that whoever was inside the house, had to leave whatever they were doing and come help dinner since mom was cooking for the entire day.

Dad used to go to mom's restaurant everyday for lunches as well and help her whenever needed. People used to be shocked to see the gamma of the country serving them salads! But again, that was dad.

Sometimes if we had a free class before or after lunch, Aiden and I used to go to mom's restaurant, 'Spice Kitchen' . It was a Michelin star restaurant.

It was so good even the beta went there with dad. And surprisingly even he helped along with his wife.
Mom cooked breakfast and lunch at the alpha's house.

We all had had a long day and wanted to get to bead as early as possible.

Aiden, mom and I were making a curry and we were just waiting for the door to open and see dad walk inside and tell us it was smells amazing and give us all a tight hug.
He liked cooking but was a bigger foodie. We always joked that he used to come home late so that he wouldn't have to make dinners. He denied, obviously.

It was past 8.30 pm, dad wasn't home yet. Whenever he was going to be late he would call up and tell one of us. But today he hadn't called. We were wondering if the alpha had told him some unannounced work. So we were waiting.
It was an extremely normal day for us. Mom and dad left for work, Aiden and I left for school. Aiden had gone to 'Spicy' , that's what we called it to help mom and dad.

There was a knock on the door. Aiden and mom looked at each other. We hardly used to have unannounced visitors at night.

Mom went to open the door and we followed.
There was Alpha Ryan and Luna Sabri.
They had a forlorn expression on their face.
" Hello! Come on in. It's great to see y'all. I just finished making a curry. Sit down for dinner."
Sabri, mom and Sasha; beta's mate were really good friends. So even though mom worked at the alpha's place as the chef it never felt like working for them. Mom had even denied taking any money from them. They were that close.

We often used to have the Alpha, Luna , beta and beta-luna over for coffee. They all were quite close and would often take trips; work and leisure too.

They would never take the kids along so as to expose them as less as possible to the world as their children since it was highly possible we would get kidnapped or something.

" We aren't here to have dinner Kamla. There's something we need to tell you."

" Yeah I'm sure. But we'll talk over dinner. Max will come any moment now."

" Kamla please sit down. We need to tell you something." Alpha Ryan said to mom in a serious tone.

I was just 4 year old, so the alpha always scared me. I used to say hello whenever he came and run off to my room. I was hiding behind mommy.

Mom could never deny the Alpha's direct order. She sat down. Aiden went to get some water.

"Why isn't Max home yet." Mom looked at the clocked. " It's quite late now. He should have called at least."

"Did Max say anything different to you today? Like anything? He behaved weird, did or said something?" Alpha asked.

" No. Nothing, it was as normal day as possible. Why, why do you ask.?"

" Do you mind we speaking alone to you?" Sabri glanced at us while speaking.

" Yes of course. Aiden, take Anna to your room and come back only after I call you okay, come here give mommy a kiss."

"Mommy I'm hungry." I said with a puppy face.

" I know sweetie, just give mommy 5 minutes." "Okay mommy."

With that we have her a kiss and went up the stairs. Ofcourse we didn't go to the room. We wanted to hear. Rather it was Aiden who suggested the idea. I was just 4, he was 8.

So we were sitting in the stairs.

" Okay now it's 8.45pm. You are here so Max is definitely not with you. I'm calling him up." Mom said

" There's no need." With that he took out daddy's phone from his pocket.

Mom was looking at it like it were a ghost.

" Whaa...how...what...?" she kept looking between them. She was speechless.

Sabri shifted from her seat and sat next to mom and put her arm around mom.

(We could see all this from a small gap from the stairs)

" I'm sorry Kamla, max isn't coming home."

" Okay, so he'll come home tomorrow. That's cool. I'm so trouble him for not informing me. Should I call the kids now?" Mom sighed in relief and kept a hand on Sabri's hand and squeezed it and smiled at her.

Sabri was close to tears at this point but was trying her best to control.
Mom read her facial expressions and looked at the alpha confused.

" Kamla, Max isn't going to come home, ever. We found him near the abyss. He committed suicide."
