Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 111: Mom’s Group

The next morning, Ethan arrived at the Raynor Estate, ready to drop off Freya at school as usual. Eleanor, who was finishing her tea, was surprised to see him.

"I thought you’d be busy with your training," she said as he entered.

"I was yesterday. It was an intense, all-day session," Ethan replied, placing his bag down. "But from now on, I can manage my schedule a bit better. I want to make time for Freya."

Eleanor gave him a small smile. "You don’t need to worry. I can handle school drop-offs."

"I’m not worried," he said gently. "I just love spending time with our daughter. She’s growing up so fast... I don’t want to miss any of it."

Just then, Freya came skipping down the stairs, her hand held by her nanny.

"Daddy!" she shouted with glee and ran into his arms.

Ethan lifted her into a big hug, his heart overflowing. He had missed too many of her early milestones already, and he knew that time with children was fleeting. Freya wasn’t like most kids. She had inherited the Raynor clan’s bloodline and with it, a high learning capacity. Her mental development was well beyond her age. She was already learning coding and could solve logic puzzles that would challenge some adults. Ethan worried that in a few short years, she might not need him at all. That fear made every small moment precious.

"Let’s get going, princess," he said, strapping her into her seat in the car.

Eleanor got in beside Freya, and Ethan took the driver’s seat. As the car began moving, Freya started talking excitedly.

"Daddy, there’s a competition at school next week!" she said, her voice bubbling with excitement.

"A competition?" Eleanor asked curiously.

"Yes! It’s a cooking competition!" Freya chirped. "Miss Cooper said we need to bring our parents. Each parent will cook something, and the kids will help. It’s a team effort!"
