The Hybrid and Her Second Chance Mate

Parent Pickup

{Lyanna’s POV}

Once attendance was taken Mrs. Hattie had me hand out pencils. I quickly gave each child a pencil and when I passed by Max he smelled me, then he sat up straight and looked over me with a suspicious look on his face. I finished handing them out and walked back to the front of the classroom and handed a paper to Mrs. Hattie, and a pencil, I kept one for myself and sat down at my desk. “Okay class, I am Mrs. Hattie your first grade teacher. This is Miss Lyanna she is my teachers aid. Today we will be filling out these papers of things about us that we want to share. These papers will help me gage how well you can read, write, and follow directions, while allowing the class to get to know you. Whenever you’re done filling out the papers, there are crayons in each one of your desks. You may color the images that are on the pages when you’re finished. Alright class, let’s begin.” She said smiling and sat down at her desk.

I took my papers and began filling out the information on it. I finished within a few minutes and decided to walk around the class and check to see how everyone was doing and if they needed help. I smiled as I walked around, some were talking about their favorite color, their pets, their siblings or family. As I was walking around I suddenly smelled blood. I looked over noticing Max holding his finger. I walked back to my desk grabbing a bandaid and brought it to him. I wrapped up his finger and smiled, that’s when I smelled it, he was a werewolf. I looked at him in his big brown eyes. “There, that should help, even if you do heal faster than most kids.” I said smiling.

I stood to walk away when his little voice whispered. “What are you? You smell like wolf.. but you smell of something else too..” he said sniffing me again.

I knelt down beside him and whispered back. “I can’t tell you that right now, too many people, how about for now you and I agree to be friends.” I smiled and toss to my feet. “Now if you need any help let me know.” I finished walking back to my desk. I sat down and began coloring the pictures on my page but I couldn’t stop my mind from wandering. Why is there a wolf child at a human school?

I finished coloring and began walking around once again. I noticed that all of the children were still writing, except Max. He had began coloring, and his handwriting was so neat, most of the other children’s handwriting was pretty bad, but that’s to be expected. They’re only about six or seven, but his writing was nice and neat. I continued walking around the room and went back to my desk once again. Soon the bell rang for lunch, we had the children stand in a single file line, and we walked to the cafeteria. The kids got their trays and sat down eating their lunch. I wasn’t hungry so I just went back to the classroom until lunch was over. I helped Mrs. Hattie get everyone to the bathrooms then back to class. After a while all the children finished their work. I looked outside, and it had gone from a sunny day to a stormy one rather quickly. Soon it was time for recess and the children played with the toys in the classroom, even Max played with some legos. I was so happy to see these children behaving in such a way, they were all so sweet. I smiled as I watched them.

After recess the children read their papers to the rest of the class. Max went last, he stood at his desk and talked about all of his favorite things, he loved the color red, his favorite thing to do was play with his father, and he wish he had siblings. Soon the bell rang, and it was the end of the day. I stayed with the kids in parent pickup, I helped them all get to their cars. Soon 4pm rolled around and there was one child still here. It was Max, I walked over sitting beside him on the bench. “Who is coming to pick you up buddy?” I asked.

“My dad was supposed to, he’s late.. again.” He said hanging his head.

“Is he normally late?” I asked.

“Most of the time.. he’s the Alpha, he’s always busy.” He said looking over at me.

I nodded, understanding what he meant, being the Alpha meant you had a lot of responsibilities. “Don’t worry Max, I’m sure he’ll be here soon.” I sat with him, and soon it was 4:30. The other teachers and workers had left, all but the principle who was in his office. I sat on the bench waiting with Max, and soon a car pulled up.

A man stepped out and walked over to Max. “Come on Max, I’m here to take you back home, your father sent me.” If I were a human, I could have believed this to be true, but this man stunk of rotten meat, he was a rogue.

I stood up pushing Max behind me. “I know that a parent would never send a rogue to pick up their child.” I snarled.

A look of panic flashed across his face, then one of anger. “Get out of the way b****!” He growled.

I turned to Max, “Buddy, go hide, and don’t come out until I tell you too!”

The rogue snarled at me. “You’re making my task a lot harder!” He snapped. He lunged at me, grabbing me by the throat. He lifted me up into the air, and dangled me there. I swung up my legs and wrapped them around his arm. I then used my momentum to pull him towards me knocking him to the ground. I got free of his grasp and he jumped up pulling a knife out of his pocket. “That’s it!” He growled. He lunged at me and I jumped backwards, he swiped his knife at me, and dodging was becoming increasingly more difficult. He stabbed at me one more time, and I felt the knife pierce my skin. Blood trickled out around it, I looked down seeing the knife sticking into my stomach. It burned like h***, it was silver. I panted out a heavy breath and that’s when I heard a voice behind the rogue.

“What the h*** do you think you’re doing?” The voice said. The rogue turned and I could see panic set across his face, but I didn’t have time for that. I looked over, seeing a man standing behind the rogue. He was tall, about 6’6, he had dark brown hair that was shaved on the sides, and long on top. He had a well trimmed beard and he was very muscular. His eyes were a grey, blue color and I knew from his presence that he was an Alpha, and Max’s father.
