DONNIE'S POV
“Mama!” In the soft glow of the room, Mason's exuberant entrance disrupted the
quiet ambiance. His innocent cry pierced through the stillness, a testament to the
boundless energy and curiosity that defined his young spirit. Reacting swiftly, I
instinctively pulled the protective cover over both of us, creating a makeshift
cocoon.
Mason's presence brought a mix of comfort and joy, a reminder of the pure love
that existed within our small family unit. Despite the challenges that surrounded
us, his unfiltered enthusiasm and openness infused the room with a renewed
sense of warmth. As he eagerly sought our attention, it became clear that he
yearned for a moment of connection and unity.
In the cocoon of covers, I shared a glance with Mason, acknowledging the
unspoken bond between us. His innocent eyes sparkled with a mixture of
curiosity and excitement, capturing the essence of childhood wonder. It was a
reminder that, amidst the complexities of life, the simplicity of familial love held a
unique and cherished place.
“Mama, why are you hiding? I've not seen you all day.” Mason’s innocent query
echoed in the room.
I peeked out from beneath the cover, a playful grin on my face. “Well, Mason,
sometimes it's fun to have a little hide-and-seek, even without leaving the bed.”
“He really can’t do without you.” Carlyle said.
Carlyle, having witnessed the amusing exchange, joined in with a chuckle.
“Hide—and-seek in bed? That's a new one, isn't it?”
Mason, undeterred by the unconventional nature of our game, giggled and
pointed at me. “Mama's funny! She’s with Daddy too.”
I winked at him. “You bet, little man.
Carlyle grinned at Mason's enthusiasm. “Looks like we've got a little comedian in
the making. What do you think, Donnie?”
I laughed, nodding in agreement. “Absolutely. Carlyle, you're bringing so much
joy to this hide- and-seek adventure.”
Mason, reveling in the attention, exclaimed, “Can we play more games, Mama?
With Daddy and Mama?”
Carlyle joined in, “Sure, buddy. How about a round of “Guess the Shape“ or
“Animal Charades?”
Mason's eyes lit up with excitement. “Yes, yes! Let's do that!”
And so, we indulged in a series of playful games, creating a haven of laughter
and warmth within the confines of our shared space. The worries and troubles of
the outside world momentarily forgotten, replaced by the Aimple joy of family
bonding. As the games continued, the room echoed with the infectious sound of
laughter, a testament to the resilience and love that bound us together.

As the time approached for Athena's departure, a bittersweet sadness settled
over me like a heavy cloak. Her presence had brought a sense of comfort and
familiarity to my life, and the thought of saying goodbye filled me with a sense of
longing and fear.
We sat together in the cozy confines of my chambers, surrounded by the gentle
hum of conversation. Athena's face was illuminated by the flickering flames, her
expression thoughtful and serene as she gazed at me with eyes filled with love
and affection.
“I can’t believe it's time for you to leave already,” I said softly, my voice tinged
with a bit of sorrow. “It feels like you just arrived.”
Athena smiled gently, her eyes crinkling at the corners with warmth. “Time has a
way of passing quickly when we're together, doesn't it?” she replied, her voice
soft and melodious. “But even though I must return home, know that you are
always in my thoughts and prayers, my dear.”
I nodded, the lump in my throat threatening to choke off my words. “I'll miss you
terribly,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.
Athena reached out and took my hand in hers, squeezing it gently in a gesture of
comfort. “And I will miss you too, my sweet girl,” she said, her voice filled with
tenderness. “But remember, distance. cannot diminish the bond that exists
between us. We are connected by something far stronger than mere miles.”
I smiled through my tears, grateful for her words of reassurance. “Thank you for
everything.” I said. softly, my voice trembling with emotion. “For your love, your
guidance, and your unwavering
support.”
My godmother’s smile widened, her eyes shining with pride. “It has been my
honor and privilege to watch you grow into the remarkable woman you are
today,” she said, her voice filled with warmth. “And though our time together may
be brief, know that you carry a piece of my heart with your wherever you go.”
“Sure!” I answered.
As we embraced one final time, I felt a sense of peace wash over me, knowing
that no matter where life's journey may take us, my godmother’s love would
always be a guiding light, leading me home.
“That reminds me, it seems you both have gotten together, right?”
“Who is that?” I didn’t understand what she meant right away. Or, should I say I
knew what she was talking about and just decided to act like I didn't..
“Who else? Carlyle, of course.”
As Athena inquired about my relationship with Carlyle, I couldn't help but feel a
sense of trepidation wash over me. Despite the recent harmony we'd found, a
lingering fear gnawed at the edges of my mind like a persistent shadow.

“We're... we're good now,” I admitted hesitantly, my voice betraying the
uncertainty that churned within me.
“It's obvious. I can see fiar. She pointed at the mark lingering around my neck
and I blushed.
“But I can’t shake this feeling of apprehension.”
Athena regarded me with a mixture of concern and understanding, her eyes soft
with empathy. “What are you afraid of, my dear?” she asked gently, her voice a
soothing melody in the midst of my turmoil.
I hesitated, unsure of where to begin. The weight of my fears felt heavy upon my
shoulders, a burden I had carried for far too long. “I'm scared,” I confessed, my
voice barely above a whisper, “of what the future holds. Of the responsibilities
that come with being the pack Luna.”
