The Emergence Of The Alpha Twins

Lyana pauses for a moment before crossing the city limits. His hands, crusty on the steering wheel, betrayed the anguish that gripped him. After five years of absence, she was finally returning to her hometown, but she could not ignore the bitter mixture of apprehension and nostalgia that boiled inside her. This return is in no way a new adventure or a simple stopover to visit old friends. No, she was coming back to face the past, to face those who had abandoned her, betrayed her, and above all to give her children a home.

Her twins, Ethan and Emma, were sleeping peacefully in the back seat, oblivious to their mother's whirlwind of emotions. She looked at them in the rearview mirror, their faces so sweet, so innocent. They were his whole life.

She exhales slowly before putting the car back into drive and venturing out onto the family roads, lined with towering trees and green hills that still held so many memories. The town had changed a little since she left, but she quickly recognized the café where she had spent countless afternoons with her friends, the old cinema with the used facade, and even the bakery that made the best croissants in the city. region. But none of this could offer her the comfort she hoped for. She knew that as soon as she saw a familiar face, the whispers would begin.

Arriving in front of a small house with green shutters, his heart sank. She had rented this modest refuge hoping to go unnoticed, but she knew that her mere presence would sooner or later be a topic of conversation. As soon as she stopped the engine, Ethan opened his eyes, yawning and rubbing his little fists. Her sister quickly followed, looking around curiously.

"Mom, are we there? Emma asked, her eyes bright with excitement.

Lyana smiled softly. "Yes, my dear. This is our new home. »

She gets out of the vehicle and helps the children get out. Ethan, already adventurous, ran towards the entrance of the house, closely followed by Emma. As she unlocked the door, she felt someone watching her. She turned around and saw a familiar figure, that of a woman in her thirties, with auburn hair and a warm smile. It was Mila, an old friend, one of the rare people who had never judged her.

"Lyana? Is that you? » cried Mila's voice, tinged with a mixture of surprise and joy.

Lyana, hesitant, smiled weakly at him. "Yes, it's me. It's been a long time. »

Mila approaches, her eyes shining. "You have no idea how happy it is to see you again. I've heard... rumors, you know, but I'm so happy you're back. »

Lyana felt her heart warm slightly. Mila had always been sincere, without ever getting involved in the exchanges surrounding the pack. She took Mila in her arms, feeling a comfort she hadn't known in years.

"Thank you, Mila... It's good to see you. »

Ethan and Emma, curious, watching the scene with a mixture of concern and interest.

"Are these your kids? » demanded Mila, her gaze softening.

Lyana nodded, a hint of pride in her eyes. " Yes. Ethan and Emma. They are everything to me. »

Mila leaned towards the twins, her kind smile immediately reassuring them. "Hello, Ethan, Emma. You are lucky to have such a courageous mother. »

Ethan, a little shy, whispered a little "Hello" while Emma hid behind her mother's leg. Mila sat up, glancing at Lyana, as if to say she understood the challenges she had faced alone.

"Did you get a job?" » demanded Mila after a moment of silence.
