CEO's Runaway Mate and Her Cubs
Samantha had almost fallen asleep on the couch. The action movie was not just boring but also idiotic. She couldn't understand why people found some things believable, but she was too lazy to look for something else. She had watched the movie with a frown while eating some popcorn a maid had gently prepared for her.
Melanie had several employees working for her, from a few maids to the gardener and a couple of security personnel. Still, not one of them could be seen with the pups around. Only when they turned the corner, a shy maid had made her appearance to clean the table and check whether something was needed.
Then, seeing everything was all right, the servant had retreated and left Samantha to enjoy some time alone.
After the pups had finished their exploration of the rooms, they came back to the living room and sat next to her. She glanced at them but decided not to squeal and hug them suddenly because they were already experiencing new emotions. She could grit her teeth and wait for another chance.
«What are you watching, aunty Sam?»
She winced, for she didn't expect any inquiry. Moreover, it hadn't been Jaden to ask. It was Scarlet.
She had barely exchanged a couple of words with her because the girl used to be silent and glare for most of the time the night before.
«A movie.»
«Why is that girl crying?»
«Because some bad people kidnapped her.»
«Why?»
«I don't know. I wasn't listening too attentively.»
«I see... So she is unhappy to be kidnapped,» Scarlet said, sustaining her chin with a hand.
She resembled some ancient thinker with that pose, but Samantha didn't have the brain to laugh. She was too focused on the pup, for there must have been a reason for so many questions so suddenly.
«She wants to run away, right?» she continued.
Samantha just nodded, reaching out to some popcorn before offering the bowl to the pups. They accepted the food, like almost every time they were offered, and munched in silence for a few seconds.
Melanie was observing them from the door, leaving for a moment after checking everything was under control.
«She's unhappy and wants to run away,» Scarlet repeated, returning her attention to the televisor. «This black box is really helpful. I can learn a lot from it!»
«Oh, wait, wait, wait...» Samantha mumbled, diverting her eyes on the television before returning to the pup.
Yes, a televisor could be helpful, but she had to make sure her niece would grow up with the right ideals.
«You shouldn't believe just everything you see on TV,» she explained. «Sometimes, they promote the wrong thing. For example, when they picture a forbidden love between a criminal and a captured girl. That's not romantic, Scarlet, do you understand? If a man does something as bad as locking a woman in a dark room for who knows what motives, he's not a good man.»
«So, a girl should run when she's locked.»
«Yes, of course.»
«I see... So, she shouldn't cry like that.»
«Crying doesn't help, Scarlet. You should always fight for yourself! If someone doesn't want you to be strong and independent, then run away.»
Maybe, she considered, it was a little early for that kind of lesson. But one is never too careful: girls used to grow up early, after all.
«Returning to the relevant matter,» Scarlet said before Samantha could find a way to change the subject. «A girl who is locked will run away forever, right?»
«Yes. If she doesn't, then she has Stockholm syndrome.»
«What is that?»
«It's an illness.»
«Oh, I see...» She murmured to herself, making sure Samantha couldn't discern her thoughts. «I will remember it, aunty.»
«Good girl.»
After the long afternoon, Samantha decided to leave. The situation seemed under control, so there wasn't any need for her. She could allow the family to grow closer, all while bringing home a portion of her aunt's apple cake and other delicious food for the following day.
«See you on Monday!» she exclaimed before disappearing, bracing the containers of the food as if her life depended on it.
Lara and Nate observed how she ran away, and they exchanged a long glance before turning to the twins. They seemed calm and ready for the next adventure.
«Are you going to sleep in your rooms?» he inquired.
«We can't,» Jaden sighed. «It's a problem because we can't decide which one of us sleeps with mommy.»
«That's a problem indeed,» he confirmed. «That's why your mother can have a room all for herself. Think about it: doesn't she deserve one, after all her hard work?»
«I would agree with you, but we figured you're too dangerous.»
«Ah? What do I have to do with this? I'm not going to steal her away in her sleep.»
«We can't trust you, daddy!» Scarlet explained. «It's stronger than you, isn't it? I'm sure you're not doing it on purpose, but you can't stop thinking about our mommy.»
«Is that so?»
«Yes. Grandma explained it to us,» she said. «She told us you are not as bad. By the way, we understand why you're like this. After all, our mommy is exceptional.»
«You're hurting my feelings in many ways, Scarlet,» Nate sighed.
At the same time, Lara blushed at her kids' compliments. She bent down and kissed their heads, happy with their words.
If Nate said something like that, or even less extreme words, she wouldn't have believed him. It was unfair, but he was getting used to it.
«We want to go home,» Jaden said. He held his mother's hand and stared at the rest of the people, waiting for a reply.
«Sure,» Nate surrendered. «If that's what you want....»

Finishing her speech, Samantha leaned back on the sofa, satisfied by her first life lessons. She had to make sure Scarlet would never become a damsel in distress, waiting for a prince to save her. She was a wolf, an Alpha's pup: no one else could save her if she didn't want to.Maybe, she considered, it was a little early for that kind of lesson.
