Alaria:
I looked at my son, smiling when I saw the smile that was on his face at the sight of his school.
He looked atfor a second, and I nodded at the principal as she got down on her knees in front of him. He looked at her then at me, “do you like the school, Ashton?”
“Yes!” He said, looking at me. “I like it very much!”
I had my arms crossed over my chest as I looked around. The school seemed to be elegant, and judging by its reputation, it seemed to be good. Yildez’s son, Dante, was in the school. He seemed to be happy, and I could tell that even his mother, who was the person who recommended it to me, was satisfied with it.
“Alright, then if we can tend to the paperwork.” I said, and the principal smiled. She nodded. atto walk to her office, and I watched as one of the maids approached Ashton, leading him toward the playground.
“Did you like the school?” She asked, breaking my train of thoughts. There was a number of things that I was going to need to think of, and I knew that there was a lot forto tend to today. And knowing that I was going to have to leave Ashton at home, I couldn’t help but find myself feeling weary. The idea of him being at halone with Katherine was not something that I wanted, but I knew that I had nowhere to take him to, and I wasn’t going to put him under the pressure of roaming around the city withfor an office. Plus, there was the fact that I couldn’t keep him at a friend’s place as I didn’t know most of them enough. And I wasn’t going to think of leaving him with my mother and brother. After what happened at the hotel the other day, even answering Ezio’s calls was a big no to me.
“I did,” I said, smiling at her. “It is big and it seems that the children here are happy. I’m also glad that there are higher grades as he grows. You know, the fuss of having to take him to another school, building new friendships, and a new surrounding can be challenging when it comes to a certain criteria and education that we want to hold.”

not taken the covered subjects from day one. We did assure him and the mother, but Mrs. D’Angelo was not very pleased.” She said, and I nodded in understanding, choosing not to say a word. She studied my expression, waiting for an insult to cfrom my side, but I knew better than to do so. Whatever I was going to say, they were going to hear of, and it would be counted as a first impression between the principal and I.
One thing that I learned growing up was that your image would count for everything. I educated my son to refiect the good in him and not the bad. As a child, he is still learning. but learning on early stages is always better than delaying them for later. It was the way that I was raised, and I knew to raise my children this way.
“We start tomorrow?” I asked, choosing to dismiss the subject. The principal, her nwas Rebekah, smiled and nodded.
“You are one interesting character, Ms. Alaria.” She said, and I raised an eyebrow as the two of us stood up. She took my son’s file, looking at it before setting it aside. “One thing that we judge when it comes to accepting children to our school is the reaction of their parents. I threw in front of you a child who was born when you were married to your husband. It pains a woman to be dealing with such things, and you chose not to comment, you did not disgrace the child, nor did you throw him in the fiames, gloating about how your son was easily accepted.”
“I can understand that you will not respond to what I am saying, but I am going to give one comment and I want you to keep it in mind.” She said, crossing her arms over her chest, lookingdead in the eye as she did. “Be the way that you are and do not allow anyone to try and change you. Many will, others will try breaking you too. But do not allow them to. Value the kindness that you have,
one that I do not see in many women around; and that is something that I see as purity in you.”
“That is kind of you,” I said, and she nodded, motioningto head to the door.
“It is nothing but the truth.” She said, taking a step toward the door. She opened it forand the two of us walked out in silence, and I couldn’t help but find myself being thankful for the fact that I didn’t choose to listen to those who toldto act against what I was doing. Had I done so, many things would have changed, but I would have lost my own morals. It was something that I didn’t want to do.
“As to answer your question, considering that you paid your son’s fees in full; yes, he starts his classes tomorrow.” She said, and I smiled as I saw Ashton playing “He starts at nine and his last class finishes at four. I believe that you got the timetable to know the different days.

“Thank you again, Mrs. Rebekah. I’ll be sure to bring him on time, and if there are any inconveniences, please do not hesitate to call me.” I said, nodding at Ashton to come. “I’ll be more than glad to assist.”
“I will be sure to do so,” she said, and I smiled before a familiar scent caught my attention. It was the Alpha that I saw in front of the hotel.
His eyes met mine as I turned around, and he extended a hand, lookingin the eye as he did.
“Hello, Alaria,” he said, and I raised an amused eyebrow as I kept my smile on.
“Damon, funny seeing you here…”
