He's so smart. Sometimes I think it won't be long before he's even smarter than I am. But I suppose that's what all parents wish for their children at some point.

"That was very kind, Ethan. I'm very proud of you." I hug my son, relishing in the feeling of his little body in my arms.

"Breaking news tonight, the new Beta for Pack Bloody Moon has just been announced," The announcer's voice coming from the TV in the corner of the room breaks our sweet family moment.

"Your announcement, Mommy!" Mia yells excitedly.

It's so cool you're going to be our Beta!" Ethan adds.

The kids were both so excited when Eamon and I told them about my promotion. They me the warmest of hugs and told me they were proud of me. As a mother, there's no greater honor than the pride of my children.

"The new Beta will be... Aylon Auburn!" The TV announcer says dramatically.

"Yay Mommy!"

"Mommy's work name!" Ethan laughs.

The kids were a little confused at first, but after I explained about me needing to use a work name now, they decided it was a funny concept to have two names. They joked that they were both going to come up with their own work names now. The news report ends and the announcer starts discussing a different topic.

"Awe, they didn't even show your picture!" Mia says disappointedly.

"That's okay. Sometimes it's better to let some things stay hidden." I say to her.

"Yeah, Mommy're really good at keeping things hidden..." Ethan says

In that moment, his voice sounded a lot like Alaric's... very deep. But when I turn around, I still see my little angel, Ethan, though he looks really upset.

I'm unsure of what he could be referring to. "What do you mean, Ethan?"

"How long have you known that big man from Pack DarkWood? Alaric?" Ethan's eyes are laser-focused on my face, like he's trying to read your expression.

"Alaric?! Why would you ask about him?" I'm stunned that Ethan would ask about him. That Ethan even knows who he is.

Of course there are lots of other things I've been forced to keep hidden from the children over the years, but I don't expect Ethan to be aware of that. I don't expect Ethan to even +25 BONUS

know Alaric's name.

Not yet, at least.

He's only six years old.

But Ethan is too clever... Just like everyone has praised him, he's a genius.

I didn't know how much he knew, so I cautiously said, "Hey, my little boy, are you asking

this because...?"

Ethan interrupted me, "It's okay, Morn. I just wanted to confirm if he's the bad guy that the uncles mentioned the one who bullied you."

"Who are you talking about?" Mia confuses, then she happily speaks to Ethan, "Want to play in our room?"

"Sure," Ethan says to his sister. Then he gives me a smile, just like any normal child would.

I'm still thinking about Ethan's odd question later that afternoon when I'm doing some

works in home.

I'm organizing towels in our linen closet when I hear my phone buzz. I must have left the phone on the couch, it's not in my pocket like it normally is.

When I walk into the room looking for my phone, I don't see my phone anywhere, but I do see a flash of black hair dart across the room.

"Ethan?" I ask as the little boy races back into the bedroom.

He doesn't answer me.

"Ethan, have you seen my phone?" I call behind him. I peek my head into their room and see the two children playing peacefully on Mia's bed. Both look calm and happy. No, Mommy. I haven't seen it." Ethan says happily.

"Okay. Thanks anyway," I say before looking back behind me at the couch.

My phone sits there plainly on the couch cushion. I thought I had checked that spot just a moment ago, but it was empty.

I pick up my phone and unlock the screen. I check the device.

No new messages. No missed calls.

That's odd. I could have sworn I had heard it buzz...
