We were on the way home when Ellia answers her phone.

"Yes. Of course we can come. Right... right... oh dear. Yes we'll be right there." She hangs up and turns to Brock.

"Head for the school. There's been trouble." We were pensive as we road there and got out. We go in to see all three of our kids outside the office. The principal is standing there next to them. I shift and crouch next to the kids.

"You three okay?" They nod.

"What happened?" Brock asks.

"They were on recess and playing. Apparently two boys, who have been punished, started teasing Angelica. Her brothers stood up for her which started a fight. Angelica not wanting them to get hurt pulled on her alpha status, which is strong in her at so young an age, and had the two boys cowering. Now I have the two boys in my office they are getting no recess for the rest of the week for their teasing. We don't allow that sort of thing. Your three though, started a fight and pulled rank. That is normal, in the high school building, not in kindergarten. I'm sending them home early today. I can't have them fighting. Walking away or telling a teacher is fine."

"Yes. They are to young for this." Ellis says frowning at them. Angel and JJ held hands and refused to be repentant. BJ bowed his head and looked away. I gather them up and we head home.

"Fighting isn't the answer." Ellis says. "However, I'm proud of you boys for standing up for your sister." I grinned.

'Glad I'm not the only one.' I tell them.

"So, I have to ask, Angelica did you know you were an alpha and could get them to submit?" Brock asks.

"Yes." She says quietly.

"How did you know you were an Alpha?" He asks.

"I don't know. I just did. But JJ is as well. He just doesn't like to use it." Ellis who was sitting next to the kids looks at JJ who blushes.

"I don't want to be an Alpha." He says.

"Why not?"

"Being alpha is a lot or work. It makes me feel angry a lot I don't like it."

'Well, that's true. Your daddies have trouble some times getting angry at silly things but if you're an alpha that means you can be a great protector for your brothers.'

"Brothers? I have only BJ."

"The babies papa is having, they are two boys. You'll have lots of brothers. They'll be special like Angel." She grins and bounces in her seat.

"Really? They'll be like me?"

"Yes." Ellis says. I see that he's enjoying how excited that makes her. I see the other boys are watching her frowning.

'Hey what's the matter?' I ask and nose at the boys. They both scowl.

"The kids at school will be mean to them like they are to Angel." I wanted to hug them. I nosed at their cheeks.

'Maybe but they'll have you two and Angel to help protect them and show them that they might be different but they'll be loved. Right?'

"Yes." They both say. Angel smiles again. Our little girl was thrilled. As we got out at home Ellia told them that Ashley knew all about us. They thought that was cool. Before we released them to go play Brock sits them down.

"Now I want to make sure you understand, while protecting each other is good you need to avoid fighting. Tell a teacher or adult of you see someone being mistreated. Alright?" They all nod. As soon as he waved they ran for the back door and to play.
