Episode 4

All the newcomers were placed in temporary tents that had been set up; the wounded arrived hours later and were attended to.

Daria and her parents, they went to what had been their home years ago.

"Welcome," said Alina.

She was happy, she had kept everything exactly the same, for when they returned.

"Thank you," replied Daria and her father.

And they entered what had been their home years ago. The house had two floors. It was a beautiful house, with a rustic style, where wood reigned, surrounded by vegetation. In the back, it connected with the forest.

Daria.

Alina was a simple and beautiful woman, I could feel the love she had for my father and me, it was like a bond.

She prepared us to eat. While my father and I looked at photos in an old album, in it we could see many photos of my father and her. Some of them were from their marriage and others were at my birth, confirming that she was indeed my mother.

"Is she really my mother?" I said almost crying.

"That's right," said my father.

"Food is ready," she shouted from the dining room.

My father and I looked at each other and smiled, it felt like we had never been separated.

I ran to the kitchen and hugged her, it was that hug I had always dreamed of, I wanted to know everything about her and tell her what these seventeen years away from her have been like.

"My child," she said, giving me many kisses on the head. "You don't know how much I missed you, every day was hell without you; the only thing that kept me alive was knowing that you were still alive."

"How did you know?" I asked, wiping away a tear that had escaped me.

"When you have your mate, the bond is strong and you can feel what your partner feels, so I knew he was alive," she said, looking at my father with love. "I visited all the packs, but I couldn't find you and it hurts to know that I was so close to you all these years."

"We will make up for lost time, now we are together," said my father.

"But you don't remember me," said my mother, full of sadness. "How could you forget me?"

"I'm sorry," whispered my father.

It was incredible how the bond did its thing; my father and my mother acted as if they had been together for years.

Their love was evident and that made me happy and I even imagined what it would be like to find my match.

We ate as a family, my mother showed us the house and told us anecdotes from when we lived together.

My room was cute, there were many toys and photos of my mother pregnant, but it was impossible for me to sleep in the small crib.

"Tonight we will sleep together," said my mother. "Tomorrow we will go shopping for new furniture and clothes."

I nodded with a huge smile, after taking a shower and talking for a long time, I fell asleep in the middle of my parents.

I had never felt so calm, I felt protected. Being close to Mom gave me a lot of peace, she had become my safe place.

The next morning I was awakened by a delicious aroma of fried bacon, I opened my eyes lazily. Mom and Dad were no longer by my side, so I got up and went to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, I looked for something among Mom's clothes that she would give me, then I went downstairs.

There was a big smile on my face, a smile that widened even more when I arrived at the kitchen and saw how Mom and Dad were dancing to the rhythm of the music coming from a small speaker that was on top of the dining room table.

I watched them for a long time, until Mom approached me to take my hand, joining me in their funny dance.

"I am the happiest woman, thank you for coming back to me," she said, full of happiness.

The three of us hugged and cried. After breakfast, we went out to buy everything necessary for my new room and a lot of clothes. We toured a large part of the pack, incredibly there were things and places that Dad recognized, giving Mom hope that his memories would come little by little.

My hair attracted a lot of attention, it was uncomfortable having everyone's eyes on me, I tried not to pay attention to it, but I wasn't used to it.

In my pack, everyone was used to my appearance, so I didn't have to experience anything like that, so it will be difficult for me to get used to it.

The pack was very well developed, there are incredible places, I felt at home. Around noon we went to the camp to provide help.

There was a lot to do, so we spent the rest of the afternoon helping.

I was focused on helping my mother sort some medications. When I felt like I was being watched, I looked around everywhere, but I didn't see anyone.

Despite everything, I didn't feel strange, it was an incredible feeling that made my skin crawl.

"Is something wrong?" asked my mother.

I shook my head and continued with my work. I felt the same way for the rest of the day, until it was time to go home.

The days went by and every day we went to help the camps, until all the patients were discharged, after that.

Alpha William gave us the opportunity to enter class, as well as giving the adults a job. Everything would be temporary while our alpha managed to rebuild the pack or get land that we could inhabit.

I organized myself for what would be my first day of class, I knew it would be somewhat uncomfortable, because here we are all alike, I just hoped everything would go well.

I looked for something comfortable and cute to wear. Mom had gone crazy buying me clothes. Dad and I tried to stop her, but she said that she had to buy the clothes that she hadn't bought me all these years, so there was no way to stop her.

So now I have a lot of clothes and shoes. After searching so much, I decided on a white dress; it was light and simple. I arranged my hair in a bun.

I didn't wear makeup, because it's not something I like. Already ready, I went downstairs and had breakfast with my parents.

Dad joined the warriors, so he will work under Mom's command. They both left me at the entrance of the school.

Daria 17 years old.

Alexander 110 years old.
