Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 208: Leaving the Secular World

"Cin," Eleanor said. Using her super senses, she already knew it was Teresa standing outside the door.

The door opened and Teresa stepped in. "Are you leaving now?" she asked, crossing the room to sit opposite

Eleanor at the desk. They had been childhood friends, and when they were alone, Teresa never bothered with

formalities.

"Not yet. The flight is at ten... you know the schedule," Eleanor replied. "I called you here to discuss your

responsibilities while I'm away. You already know I'll be busy with personal matters, so you'll have to run the

business without me. I've instructed all companies to contact you instead of me. You'll need to make decisions

on your own. | understand there will be a great deal of pressure, but | believe you're already well-acquainted

with my businesses from the tyou've spent with me."

She paused, then continued, "After today, I'll be entering a secret academy for three months. My contact will be

limited. | might be able to send an email if necessary, but no phone calls. What | told you and the others... that

I'm going on a vacation. It was a lie. | was supposed to keep this entirely secret. But as my friend, | can’t feed

you lies like | do the rest. You already know I'm the next head of the Raynor family. This training is a requirement

forto inherit that position."

Her tone grew more serious. "This is a secret academy founded by ancient families from all over the world. They

send their younger generations there to learn survival skills. It’s more like an elite commando training. You

already know how many times people have tried to kill me. | can rely on my bodyguards, but without my own

strength, it could all be futile. You must keep this to yourself. Even within the ancient families, only those who are

attending know of its existence. If someone learns you have this knowledge, your life could be in danger. I'm

telling you because | believe you'll understand my situation better this way... and because | trust in your ability

to keep it secret."

"Alright. | understand," Teresa said. "Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me. Honestly, it's better this way... now

that | know you'll truly be unavailable for the next three months and I'll be in charge, | can prepare myself to

perform better."

"| thought so," Eleanor said. "But if you face an issue that truly requires my input, sendan email. I'll respond

when I'm permitted inteaccess. If there's an emergency that needs outside assistance, call Ethan

immediately. He's very strong in business negotiations and can also call on the family for help... something you

won't be able to do directly. Ethan will be here with Freya while I'm away, so if needed, speak to him in person."

"I'll keep that in mind," Teresa said.

"I've already sent official letters to all the banks instructing them to cooperate with you instead of me," Eleanor

went on. "So large transactions won't be a problem for account-to-account transfers. If you need cash, what you

have in your villa should be sufficient. If you need more, ask Ethan... he'll provide it."

She paused again, her gaze softening. "I’m leaving a heavy burden on your shoulders, but | believe you're ready

for it. That's all. You may go. I'll see you in three months."

"Alright." Teresa stood, walking to the door. She paused suddenly and turned back. "Thank you for believing in

me. | won't disappoint you." With that, she opened the door and left the room.

After Teresa left, Eleanor spent stin the study checking the latest updates on Project God Eye and

reviewing the expected timefrfor its completion. Once she finalised her goals and issued the necessary

instructions for Nora to follow in her absence, she left the study to check on Freya.

When Eleanor entered her room, Freya had just woken up and was lazily sprawled on the bed. The moment she

saw her mother, she sat up and asked, "Mommy, where did you go?"

Eleanor smiled. "You were sleeping so peacefully, | thought I'd let you have a few more minutes. After all, today’s

your day off from school."

She walked over to the bed and wrapped her daughter in a gentle hug. "Go on, freshen up. Let's have breakfast

together. We still have two hours... though | need to leave at half-past nine."

Freya's face fell slightly as she was reminded of her mother’s departure. Hugging her more tightly, she asked,

"Mommy, can | cwith you to the airport?"

Eleanor stroked her hair. "Sweetheart, we've already talked about this. Mommy has to do this alone. Your daddy

will be here to spend twith you every day, and Grandma Bella will keep you company. She was with me

when | was your age, you know... she can tell you so many stories you'll never find on the internet. Three months

isn’t as long as it sounds. Pick a skill, learn it to mastery, and your twill pass in a flash. When | cback,

you can showwhat you've learnt. Alright?"

Freya's voice softened. "Alright, Mommy."

She slipped out of Eleanor’s embrace and headed for the bathroom. A few minutes later, she was ready, and the

two of them made their way to the dining room for breakfast.

When they entered, they saw Ethan already seated at the table, fiddling with his phone.

"Daddy, you're already here," Freya chirped, happily taking the seat beside him.

Ethan set his phone down. "You're up early. | thought you'd sleep in on your day off."

"No, I've got lots to do today. | need to see Mommy off, and then I'm visiting Grandpa and Grandma... they

invitedto play," Freya said.

"When did they invite you? You didn’t tell me," Ethan asked.

"Yesterday. Grandma knew I'd be sad because Mommy's going away for a long time, so she askedto come."

Ethan smiled. "Alright then, I'll take you over after we see Mommy off."

"Okay," Freya agreed.

Ethan glanced at Eleanor and caught her looking at him. The moment their eyes met, she looked away, a faint

blush colouring her cheeks. The memory of kissing him surfaced in her mind, and she felt a flicker of

embarrassment. She wasn’t entirely sure what had possessed her in that moment. Though part of her felt

awkward about it, another part was quietly pleased. Still, she decided it would be best not to meet his gaze for

the tbeing.

"Once | leave for the academy, things will return to normal," she told herself.

When the kitchen staff set the food before her, she focused intently on eating, eyes downcast, never looking up

to meet his. Yet she could feel, instinctively, that he was glancing at her from tto twhile helping Freya

with her meal.

After breakfast, Eleanor went to Freya's room to check her belongings one last time, ensuring she wouldn't be

lacking anything during the next three months. Everything was in order. Satisfied, she watched for a while as

Freya played a shooting gwith Ethan.

She was already prepared to leave. When the tcame, she said her goodbyes to Ethan, Freya, Isabella, and

the rest of the household staff. Then she made her way to the helipad and boarded the waiting helicopter that

would take her to the airport.

Her pilot and crew stood ready to greet her. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they moved efficiently back to

their duties.

Eleanor’s gaze settled on the two women waiting just ahead, Ophelia and Kiara... both smiling warmly at her.

"Ma'am, I'm very lucky to be accompanying you to the academy," Ophelia said.

Eleanor’s lips curved into a faint smile, but her tone was firm. "Don’t be complacent. You're going to be a student

again, not my guard. There's a great deal of study ahead... it's not all about fighting."

Ophelia groaned. "You had to remindagain, didn’t you? Ma'am, you're a killjoy."

Kiara spoke up, her voice tinged with amusement. "Cousin, you'd better take care ofthis time. | specially

Eleanor gave her a small smile. "Of course."

With that, she moved into her private cabin. Moments later, the aircraft rumbled into motion, accelerating

smoothly along the runway for the long flight to Svalbard Airport.
