Seriously serious subject p1

Sitting on the couch, "Okay...Matilda and Coco disappeared all day without an explanation, Yuri dragged my ass back home and scolded me for not waiting for them earlier, and now we have some werewolf Alpha chick dressed in a funny outfit, standing outside our home with a passed out guy in her car?!" Jade said.

"Why I disappeared is nobody's business!" Matilda said.

"Yuri did what?!" Ned spoke-up while standing angrily in front of his daughter.

Raising her eyebrows at her best friend, "Just like my whereabouts, I don't think that Yuri's the most important subject to discuss right now, Ned." Matilda said.

Clapping her hands together once, "Matilda is right! the person we should focus on is Henrietta." Jade replied, "Few days ago, you and Yuri were as good as strangers...you guys never interacted seriously for like the past 60 years, unless it's because of me.

What happened?!" Ned said completely ignoring what the girls just said.

"So what if Yuri and I are hanging out?! it's not the thing to talk about right now!

GOSH?! What's with men not listening to what women have to say?!" Jade replied astonished, "Really?! you're pulling the 'X X' Chromosomes card on me?! You're an Alpha, you're worse than a straight white male!" Ned replied back.

"That's discrimination sir!" Jade said.

"Or more like child abuse." Matilda replied jokingly.

"Jade, Yuri is a 'jihi'! a figure that's dangerous to be involved with!" Ned said.

"Are you saying cuz of their job, Yuri doesn't deserve to have relationships?" Jade asked making Ned pinch the bridge of his nose in frustration.

"Helloooo?! we need to deal with cowgirl out there, it's winter! it's cold even for a bulky Alpha! do you realize that y'all are acting childish right now?" Matilda spoke-up again.

"Sorry Matilda! but unlike you, I didn't use protection, now I have to give a fuck about what Yuri wants from my daughter!" Ned said angrily.

"YURI'S GOT A FUCKIN MATE!" Jade shouted, "They want nothing from me! I was the jerk forcing myself on a person who's already hitched!" she added.

"Hitched?" Matilda question, "Yuri has a mate? since when?" Ned asked.

Realizing she spilled a little too much, "Oh shit...I was supposed to keep that a secret." Jade nervously responded.

While those three argued, Garrick was Sitting away from them and by the window with Luna cradled in his arms.

[I hope they keep talking nonsense like this, and nobody suggests we bring Henrietta inside.] Garrick thought while kissing Luna.

"Garrick's right, We should at least invite Henrietta inside!...It's freezing out there!" Jade spoke-up.

Turning his head to her so fast, "THE FUCK NOT?! DAMN I FORGOT YOU'RE A MIND READER?!" Garrick cried out.

"Don't change the subject!" Ned said to Jade, "You're the one Changing the subject mom! first of all you acted as if you don't know the Style family at all, then out of nowhere Henrietta kissed you right in front of us!

Tell me what's going on?!" Jade demanded.

Sighing, "Fine you got me, just for now... I'll drop Yuri's subject...and we should really check on Henrietta." Ned replied, "But we will talk about Yuri later, understood!" he added and Jade nodded.

"I don't want tooooooo! Don't let that jerk inside!" Garrick whined, "Garrick, if you're that uncomfortable...please go to my room, I'll deal with Henrietta myself." Ned said.

"I am uncomfortable!...but I don't like the idea of you dealing with her on your own!" Garrick replied.

Sighing again, Ned walked all the way to Garrick, he leaned into his ear and whispered, "I'll let you spank my ass as many times as you want tonight.

You get to punish me only if...you promise me to behave, now go."

Jumping on his feet at the proposal, Garrick placed Luna on the ground, "I'll go wait in your bedroom...if you need me, just call...Bye lovely!" He said, then gave Ned a quick peck on the lips before he rushed upstairs.

Intrigued, "What did you say to make Garrick go up and running like that? boy ran like his life depends on it." Matilda questioned, "Or his thing depends on it...It's good to be aware of other people's kinks." Ned replied.

"Eww mom...too much infos, also you're getting quite toxic lately." Jade said while opening her arms for Luna, the puppy ran fast and jumped into Jade's arms, "Who's a good girl? You are!" Jade said kissing Luna's nose.

"Thanks to me kid, you get to be here playing with that puppy instead of being at the academy." Ned spoke-up.

"Luna! her name is Luna! try holding her, you'll fall in love!" Jade said.

"I said I'm thinking about giving Luna a chance, I specifically used the term 'Thinking'...Jade." Ned replied.

"You're shifting the subject again!" Matilda pointed out, "Talk about Henrietta!" she added yawning.

"So here's what's gonna happen, I'll invite Henrietta inside and take her to my office, neither of you two ladies, is allowed to bother me while I talk with her... Understood?" Ned said.

"I wasn't planning on bothering you to begin with, I'm going to the kitchen, I need some coffee or I'm going to fall asleep again." Matilda said getting-up.

"Do say Mom, What if something urgent happened while you're in there with cop lady and i wanted to tell you?" Jade asked, "Use your brother's method.

If you need me, text don't call." Ned replied.

...Meanwhile...

"COCO!" Muriel said enthusiastically, just a minute ago he walked back into his place, and right before he could unlock it, Socorro opened the door.

"Soco! it's good to see you!" Thorn said smiling, both he and Muriel hugged Socorro before she let them in.

"Sorry I worried you guys...ever since Matilda and I became a thing, I've being acting real weird.

Just like in Derora." She said with a sad tone.

"What matters is that you're okay now." Thorn replied, "He is right, you have no idea how much I love you...you are like another sister to me." Muriel said.

"A sister...I only had brothers in my family, but all of them combined can't match your worth to me Muriel." Socorro replied hugging Muriel again, this time she began crying.

Sniffing, "I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to protect you before! I'm sorry for not seeing your struggles nor your pain...I'm sorry for only idolizing you and focusing on your achievements, while forgetting you're a person who can break down at any moment." Socorro spoke again, "Are you apologizing to me or yourself, because that sounded a lot like you too." Muriel replied patting her back.

"Both, I guess." Socorro replied.

...Few minutes later...

Checking his watch, "I should get going now, I have something to deal with in my office." Thorn said before giving Muriel a kiss on his forehead.

Giggling, "Drive safely!" Muriel replied while comfortably laying on Socorro's lap as she played with his hair.

"You can sleep if you want to." Socorro said, "Is my head a bit heavy on you?" Muriel asked.

"Well you do have a heavy head." Socorro said smugly, "Hey!" Muriel cried out.

"Haha I'm just kidding, you can sleep! it's not bothering me." Socorro responded.

"Okay, I will take your offer!" Muriel replied yawning before he closed his eyes and started snoring.

Surprised, Socorro leaned in and waved her hand in front of his face but Muriel didn't seem to move or be bothered at all, "Wow he's really sleeping?! he fell asleep so quickly!" She said astonished.

Suddenly, The doorbell began ringing, Socorro felt a bit torn on whether she should get-up and see who's at the door, or stay and continue supporting the sleeping Muriel's head with her lap.

But when the ringing continued, "Ugh...it could be Thorn, he might've forgotten something!" she mumbled to herself and decided to get-up.

Carefully swapping her lap with a pillow underneath Muriel's head, Socorro got-up and headed for the door.

She quickly opened it and was surprised by a pale-toned woman she's never seen before, standing there with a big smile on her face, "Can I help you?" Socorro asked.

Socorro was definitely intrigued by the stranger woman, she was dressed in feminine business attire and her hair was elegantly tied in a bun, while carrying an umbrella with one hand and the other carried a 'Kelly handbag'.

But what was more shocking, was the fact that this woman who was seemingly in Socorro's height and weight, Had Orange-hair and eyes.

In fact everything she had on her was Orange.

"Why yes fair lady! are you perhaps Miss Belmonte? I have been informed this is your current address." The woman asked.

"Ye...yes." Socorro replied, "Wonderful! is it okay if I come inside Dolly?" the woman asked.

"I'm sorry, I'm so confused right now, but who are you ma'am?" Socoro asked, "Oh dearie! has your grandmother not tell you who I am?

Nana and I have yet not met in person, but we spoke on the phone about your registration and she gave me this address." The woman said.

"My grandma didn't say a thing?! also registration for what exactly?" Socoro asked.

"For my all girls Magic academy? I am the current headmaster of 'Ladiesworth' academy.

My name is Lady Orange." The woman said.

...Meanwhile...

"So first mother sent you the newly born Matilda without explaining anything?"

"Yes, I was still at my office in the dead of night, trying to find a lead on the case I was working on.

All of the sudden, I got a call from a servant saying they found a babygirl outside tucked in a basket, with a card that says she's my child."

"So you just accepted your destiny and decided to raise the girl? without searching for her mother?"

"Her mother...well she's impossible to locate, she's the kind of person that you can't find her unless she wanted that."

"Henrietta...i'm not sure if you're irresponsible or just really dumb." Ned said sighing.

"Maude's mother is a woman who got her own life...she made it clear that she didn't want Maude or to ever see her again.

What happened between us was just a one night stand, I didn't mean to get her pregnant." Henrietta replied.

"So you know who's Maude's mother is, but you say you didn't contact her when she abandoned her on your doorstep because she said so?...so considerate!" Ned said sarcastically.

"I didn't do it because I made-up my mind to raise Maude in an environment where she's wanted and loved.

She doesn't need a mother who abandoned her for her career." Henrietta replied.

"What about your second child's mother?" Ned asked.

"First I need you to answer me...do you think that guy you're mated with is..." Henrietta said.

Nodding, "Garrick...I think he's Garrett.

In fact, I know where You can find both Maude and Luke." Ned replied.

Sighing in pure joy, "Please tell me! I'll do anything for you, just tell me where they Are!" Henrietta said pleading.

"I'll hold on to that offer and I also ask for something else...even if I tell you, you can't reveal to them that you know Until new year's day passes." Ned requested.

"Why?" Henrietta asked, "Promise me first Henrietta! I'm putting lot of faith in you by trusting your words." Ned said.

"Alrighty then, I promise you! I won't say anything about it until new year's day passes." Henrietta replied desperately, "Now tell me!" she added.

"Nothing is definitive but my guess is that, Luke is Lucius, the boy you met earlier who's about to get married.

Garrett is Garrick...my mate.

And Maude, is probably Matilda, my best friend...you didn't see her earlier when I brought you in because she was in the kitchen, the girl is probably having a coffee right now in my living room." Ned replied.
