Chapter 1107: Side story: ice cream

The bell just rang and it didn't take a long time before the children came out of their respective classes to find their parents so they could go home.

Usually, it would be Raine, who would pick up the kids from their school, but today the Luna and the Alpha had to attend an important event, thus Raine couldn't do that.

Instead, it was Jack, the Gamma, who came to the school to pick up Aurora and Kayden.

"Uncle Jack!" Aurora exclaimed, as she ran toward the Gamma with a big smile on her face and the little girl's smile was simply infectious that Jack couldn't help, but smile as well.

"Don't run, you will fall," Jack said and then he approached the little girl and picked her up. The blue backpack that she was carrying looked very big on her small frame, therefore Jack took it off from her shoulders. "Where is your brother?"

"I don't know." Aurora raised her hands and then sneaked her arms around Jack's neck. "He said he needed to go somewhere, but I don't know. He didn't say anything."

"Hm?" Jack furrowed his eyebrows. Where did the kid go? "I think we need to wait for him."

"I want ice cream!" Aurora giggled. She loved ice cream, even though her mother often scolded her because she ate too much until her stomach ached and her father would go into a panic mode. Still,  Aurora loved ice cream. "Let's buy ice cream while waiting for Kayden!"

"Ah, but…" Jack looked troubled. He knew that Raine was always strict about what Aurora ate, because she would get stomach ache whenever she ate too many ice creams. However, just one scoop wouldn't be harmful, right?

"I want ice cream, uncle Jack," Aurora pleaded, she blinked her big eyes. "Please…"

At this rate, who would have a heart to reject her pleading? "Okay, but only one, because if you get sick, your father would have my head."

Aurora laughed when she heard this, she knew how much her father loved her. "Don't worry uncle, I got your back."

"You little devil," Jack grumbled playfully and put down Aurora when she wiggled her body. "Let's buy an ice cream then."

"This way!" Aurora looked excited when her wish was granted. "There is a delicious ice cream outlet over there!"

============== 

Kayden was in his fifth grade, while Aurora just entered elementary school, but thankfully they were in the same school, thus it was easy to monitor both of them.

"Kayden didn't say anything else?" Jack asked little Aurora again as he started to feel worry because the first son of his Alpha had not yet appeared even after an hour had passed and Aurora managed to get her second ice cream, because they had to wait for a long time there.

"No," Aurora said curtly as she tossed her ice cream spoon into the dustbin and licked her lips. It tasted sweet. "He didn't say anything else."

"It's not good," Jack muttered. Kayden had never done this before. "We need to check on your brother," He spoke, more to himself.

On the other hand, Aurora just sat there quietly and watched how Jack became restless, as he mind- linked the other lycans.

Because Aurora had not shifted yet, she couldn't communicate through mind- link, but Kayden was supposed to be able to do that.

"Why don't you mind- link him directly?" she asked.

"I tried, but he didn't respond," Jack answered her question and continued to mind- link all the lycans nearby.

It didn't take a long time before twelve to fifteen Lycans appeared in their beast form, so no human would be able to see them.

[Kayden is missing, find him and let me know where he is.] Jack gave them an order. He couldn't do it by himself because he needed to keep his eyes on Aurora. [Inform me right away when you find him.]

All the beasts nodded their heads before they ran in different directions to find Kayden. If something bad were to happen to him, they didn't want to imagine the wrath of the Alpha.

With many beasts scouting around the school building and their incredible abilities as the lycans, they managed to find Kayden quickly behind the second building of that school, which was the most faraway building in that area.

Jack immediately carried Aurora there, so they could move faster, as he heard a report that Kayden was just involved in a fight.

"What happened here?" Jack was out of breath as he ran very fast to reach that place.

"Kayden fought four of his classmates," one of the lycans informed Jack.

When Jack arrived there, the twelve beasts had shifted back into their human skin and was circling Kayden protectively.

"Did you fight earlier?" Jack put Aurora down and approached Kayden, as the other people made way for him.

Fortunately this was the quietest place of the school building where not many people would visit, thus no one would see there were a lot of men there.

"Yes," Kayden answered curtly and then picked his backpack. He brushed away his hair from his face. His wounds started to heal already.

"Why?" Jack couldn't understand, as long as he knew Kayden would rarely go looking for trouble, he didn't like to standout and get unnecessary attention.

Kayden seemed still upset about whatever reason he fought his classmates for.It could be seen from his piercing eyes when he stared at Jack upon hearing his question.

"I don't like them." He kept his answer short and then walked toward his sister and grabbed her hand. "They have their eyes on my sister."

"What?" Jack frowned. "They said they like your sister?"

"They thought she is cute," Kayden replied.

Jack face palmed himself. Kayden started to act like his father. "But, you don't need to beat them."

"I don't need to beat them, but I wanted to," he said stubbornly.

Meanwhile, Aurora looked at her brother and asked in her crispy voice. "Did you fight? Did you win?"

"Of course," Kayden said proudly.

"Can we have ice cream to celebrate it?" she asked enthusiastically.
