Chapter 8: Intervention

Chapter 8: Intervention

I’ve been home for a week now and so far avoiding Cavien has been easy, but I think his ad ordered him to stay away. Although it’s only three more days until I become the Alpha meaning that Cavien will become my Beta at the same time, and I’ll no longer be able to avoid him. I just hope no one figures out that Cavien’s my mate though I’m pretty sure mom knows otherwise she thinks I slept with Craig. I think Shi is a little self conscious at the moment because I’ve seen the way she looks from Craig to me and then to the kids, it’s not my fault my mate is her mates identical twin!

“Mom hurry up you have to drive us to school,” Lil called up. I had forgot that it was their first day at school.

“I’ll be down in a minute kids,” I yelled. Now that they knew the truth I didn’t have to hide my powers from them.

I quickly got dressed in a Japanese Kimono I’d always loved them, but I couldn’t wear them at the ranch or they would have been ruined. Then I rushed into the bathroom and closed the door using my other powers my hair and make-up was done in a minute rather than fifteen minutes. Making sure I looked presentable before I left, I then rushed down the stairs and out to the car where the quads were waiting for me to drive them to school.

“Wow mom you look pretty who are you all dolled up for?” Cam asked sincerely.

“No one Cam I just felt like dressing up today since I didn’t really have any chances to look pretty at the Ranch. Anyway now that Uncle Gabe’s gone I’ll be bombarded by everyone with questions, so I might as well wear something that makes me feel confident,” I half joked with them.

“Whatever mom. Can you just drive I want to get there early so no one sees me being driven to school by my mother,” Rian joked.

“Sorry sweetheart, but I have to go in with you guys anyway to register you,” I smirked at the boys well they groaned well Lil laughed at them.

A few minutes later I drove into the parking lot of the school. It looked the same as it had when I left although the students were all different. I swiftly got out of the car, and was surprised at how many kids recognized me because of all the bowing I was receiving when I passed. I noticed that the quads seemed confused since no one rose until the four of them walked by as well.

“Mom what’s going on?” Seth asked confused.

“You’ll have to get used to it guys. I’m going to be the Alpha in three days and until we know which one of you will be my successor everyone is going to give you the same respect that a future Alpha deserves,” I told them as I walked into the office.

“B is that you? Wow you haven’t changed much,” the same secretary from when I attended school here asked happily.

“It sure is Mrs. Alvania,” I smiled at her. “These are my children; Seth, Cameron, Lilian, and Adrian.”

“It’s nice to meet all of you. I can handle it from here B,” she told me shooing me away. She did the same thing for me on my first day of high school although it had been Craig’s parents who had escorted me and the twins.

Giving the quads hugs before I left ignoring their protests I left the school trying to get to the car before anyone saw me. I was in such a rush that I didn’t even sense anyone in front of me, and just ran right into him. The person didn’t talk well helping me up, so I was shocked to see that it was Cavien when I looked up to thank my rescue.

“A klutz like always huh Bell,” he laughed.

“What do you want Cavien?” I growled.

“The same thing I always wanted,” he whispered.
