Today's a Monday. It's my first day of special classes. It's been four days of Maddox smothering me with advice and "Are you sure this is what you want?" If this is what having a mum feels like then Maddox makes a good mum. (And a good daddy ;)

We haven't left the house much. Maddox says he's taking as much time as he could without having to share me with anything or anyone else because I don't know much people yet and I haven't started with uni or my special classes. 

Uni has sent in some books and syllabus for the program I want and I've been trying to go over them, excitedly. 

Maddox always seems to be touching me in some way or he straights up asks me to sit in front of him so he can "read with me" but really he just sniffs me and kisses my head and cheeks.

"Appa, stoooooop. I really want to be prepared for my first class!!!" We were running around the house because he wants me to stay in bed and at home with him the whole day. 

"But baby, you don't need to go. You can just stay here with me. I think you're perfect enough as you are!" 

"Okay, ten more minutes, then you promise we'll go?"

"Okay." He kisses my forehead, carries me to the couch and settles me above him. Snuggling and sniffing me all he wants.

"We need to talk, princess."

"What is it, Maddox? You seem serious. Is there something wrong?"

"No, don't you worry your pretty little head. We just need to talk about our relationship." He smiles. Oh no, why am I nervous then?

"Um, what's.. wrong with our.. relationship?" I look down, afraid he doesn't like me anymore.

He must've sensed my emotion "You're perfect, little one. Never doubt that. I just want you to be more comfortable with me, my mate." He assures me, rubbing my arms. We were sat across each other with me between his legs.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I want to be your daddy." Huh?

"What does that mean?"

"It means.. I want you to embrace your inner little." 

"What?" I'm very confused right now.

She's confused. Maybe I shouldn't have brought this up this early. But better now, before she starts meeting other people! 

"Ascher, you're my mate. I'm your mate. I know you're not ready to 'mate' or even be marked but you need to know you're mine and only mine." She looks at me, still confused but listening.

"As your daddy, I will care for you and protect you. But also, I'll discipline you. And.. You'll be my Ascher. Do you understand now, princess?"

"A little.. I have to call you Daddy?"

"Ideally, yes."

"Can we settle for something else?"

"Hm? What did you have in mind?"

"I don't like 'Daddy' because you're not my father. Can we take the day to figure out which works?"

"Okay, little one. You can take all the time you need. But you're okay with this?"

"Yes, but please be patient with me.."

That day, I learned about my little space. It comes so natural to me. Appa, my Maddox, is a natural at being my caregiver too. He taught me a lot about this dynamic that day. When I mumbled Appa Madducks as in Alpha Maddox but in my baby voice, we looked at each other and knew that was it and I call him Appa since. 

I come back from my flashback to Maddox starting giving my neck a fart kiss. "Heeeey!! I don't like that Appa!" 

"Haha! Okay, okay. Now, come on. Let's get you to class."

We get in the car. Uni is a twenty minute drive. It's the closest one with a good program, it's also a dominantly human university but with few wolf professors. My special class teacher is a wolf from the Lovemoon Pack, the third light pack. Maddox has told me he'll be very patient with me.

We reach the university and I marvel at the architecture. Looks historic.

"Okay, don't go messing with boys! Remember to eat and contact me if there's anything you need. If you want to go home, just call me. And-"

"Okay, okay, Appa! I'm a big girl, I can handle it. It's just special classes not even my real first day at uni!"

"Are you sure? I can walk with you to meet your teacher?"

"No-no-No!! I can do it!" And with that, I get out of the car as fast as I can before he can even say another thing. I keep walking without looking back.

"I love you, baby!!!! Be careful! Do well!!!!"

Ohmygod, my mate is like an embarrassing mum!
