The Beta’s Regret

I was still looking for the best way to explain what had happened to Zion when Eros answered with a straight face.

"It's an adult thing, Son." He said.

I slapped Eros hand in embarrassment. Just like I suspected, the answer was too vague for the children to accept.

Lily watched me with a curious suspicion, while Zion seemed to understand that it was a question he wouldn't get an answer to, no matter how hard he pressed.

It was amazing how Eros and Zion were alike in so many ways.

While Eros was a strict and firm leader who would not accept any nonsense from his subordinates, he was also a nice and caring father to his family.

The same way Zion could sometimes be firm with his mates and if things weren't done properly, and then sweet when it mattered.

For a two year old, he was way too mature.

Lily on the other hand, was the voice of skepticism. Her silence was loud enough to voice her doubts. All she had to do was look long enough to access the situation and she was almost never wrong with her intuitions.

on that note. It was hard to imagine that Lily didn't pass through me. Not when we were like two peas in a pond.

However, the maids should have taken over if I wasn't there.
