Writer’s pov 🎀

“We’re here!” Aunt May said.

Xander nod and steps into the incomplete building… He walk from room to room, checking the dining area, kitchen, matron’s office toilets and bathrooms.

There are three toilets and bathrooms in the building, the dining area is almost twice the size of the previous one… and the living room is w¡der than the previous one.

Xander nods in satisfaction…indeed this is a good job but what’s more important is the amount spent here.

“Aunt, you’ve really done a good job here… but don’t you get tired of staying at the orphanage all these years?”

Aunt May smiles and shakes her head.

“Not at all…”

She trails off as her bright smile turns into a sad smile.

“You know, after losing my mate I had no one to keep me company, had I not be in the midst of all these pups… I’m sure I’d have died of depression!”

She pause…tears welled up her eyes as she reminiscises those old happy days she spent with her mate.

Xander was almost moved by this but he reminded himself the reason he came here… He simply taps her shoulder to comfort her.

“I’m not tired of staying here, these pups are mine and I enjoy every minute I spend with them!”She said.

Xander nods.

“Good to know… ” He look around. “This place must have consume a lot of cash!” He said.

“Yes, yes, but it’s almost complete now, so we don’t need too much cash!”

“Does my dad bring enough money?”

“Yes, we even submit a report of our expenses yesterday.. how much we’ve spent and how much we’ll be needing!”

Xander smirks, slowly he’s getting her to talk.

“How much have you spent and how much are you gonna need?” He asked.

Aunt May thinks about it.. she does a little calculation in her head.

“I think we’ve spent roughly about $12,000,000 on this building, from the moulding of brisks and…. ”

Xander tones her off and frown… he recalls the details on Alexa’s report and details on his own.

*Aunt isn’t lying?* He thought.

He paused his thoughts and listen to her.

“…. since we don’t have much to do on this building now, I think $5,000,000 should be enough to cover the remaining part!” She finished her words.

*What she said is exactly what’s on Alexa’s report… If she’s not the one embezzling the money then who is it?* He questioned himself.

Xander studies Aunt May’s gestures.. he look into her eyes and realize she’s really being honest.

“Who’s in charge of this project?”

“Me!”

Xander’s frown deepens.

“Who else is involved in this project?”

“Oh, it’s just me, Theresa and Diane!” She answers.

“Theresa, that should be Connor’s sister?”

Aunt May nods.

Xander finds it strange that the difference between the two reports is too huge.

But reserves his comment until later… Aunt May seem to notice his serious expression.

“Is everything alright, Xander?”

“Yes, aunt, let’s go back to your office… I’m not done with that coffee!”

Aunt May smiles and pokes his cheek.

“When did you become a coffee addict?”

“Hmmm, let me think!”

He pretends to be in a serious thought.

“Since now!”

“Silly pup, let’s go!” Aunt May links their arms and leads them out.

Alexa’s pov 🎀

Silence!

All the kids are playing but they aren’t making any noise.

Some are standing by the swing.. a little girl sitting on it and two boys are pushing the swing.. but they don’t look happy.

Others are on the merry-go-round but there isn’t any smile on their faces… they are all doing different activities but they aren’t smiling.

The playground just seem like a…. Cemetery!

Someone bumps into from behind and I hear a thud, I turn around and saw a girl of about 8years on the ground.

I quickly bend down and help her up.

“Thank you!” She mutters quietly.

“Are you injured?” I asked.

She shakes her head and wanted to walk past me… I held her back, she frowns at me but I smile in return.

“Hi, I’m Alexa, but you can call me Lexa!”

She ignores me and tries to move away from me… I see her holding a math textbook in her hands.

I smiled, bringing math textbook to the playground….she must be a nerd like me.

“Are you having a difficulty with any math problem there?” I gesture at her book.

She nods.

“I can help you!”

She looks at me with doubtful eyes, like I’m a joke! I look around and see an empty bench in a corner.

“Let’s go sit over there and you’ll show me the problem, yeah?”

She nods but another frown suddenly appear on her face like she just remember something.

“Rogue!” She said.

“What?”

“Are you a rogue?” She asked.

“What? No!” I exclaims quickly.. as little as her, she knows what a rogue is.. that’s good!

“Are you trying to trick me and take me to your rogue pack?” She asked.. her voice slightly rising.

“No, no, no! I’m Alexa Dex, I’m from the royal spy family… I’m not a bad person”

“I don’t believe you! I don’t believe you!” She argued.

I sighed… I thought these kids don’t talk too much, how come she’s speaking now?

“Miss Connor said rogues pretend like good people to trick small boys and girls like me!”

“Miss Connor?”

“Yes, I’ll call her and tell her to catch you! You are a rogue!” She said seriously.

I can’t let her call that Miss Connor or I won’t get any information… I must find a way to convince her.

Then it click… Xander!

Xander’s picture is on my phone, he had sneakily snapped himself on my phone two days ago.

I didn’t know it’s gonna come in handy today.. I reach for my phone and turns it on.. I quickly search for the picture.

“… let go of my hand, I’ll report you to Miss Connor!” She struggles to snatch her hand from my grip.

“Here!” I turn my phone to her… showing her Xander’s picture. “Do you know him?”

She stares at it and smile.

“Prince Xander!” She beams.

“He’s my mate!” I told her.

“Really?”

“Yes, do you believe me now?”

She stays silent for a few minutes then reluctantly nods her head… I smile.

Finally, this one is smart.. I can get something out of her.

“So… should we go over there and sit down?”

“Yeah!”

We walk to the bench and sits down, she shows me the math problem and hands me a pencil.

I look at it and smile, nursery maths are the simplest… but she’s just a kid and it’s natural she’ll find it difficult.

I solve and explain the problem to her slowly, until she finally gets it.. though it didn’t take her too much time to comprehend it.

Like I said, she’s a nerd like me.

“Thank you, Alexa!” She thanks me after we’re done.

“You’re welcome….” I trail off waiting for her to tell me her name.

“Trixie!” She said.

“Trixie! Wow! That’s a beautiful name.. no wonder you’re beautiful”

She blush.

“How old are you?” I asked.

“Nine!” She replies.

I was almost right in my guess.

“So do you live here?”

Ok, that question is stupid.

“Yes, we all live here!” She gestures at the other kids.

I nod and there’s a brief silence.

“Are you our new teacher?” She asked.

“Teacher?”

She nods. “You’re good at math, I thought you’re our new teacher!”

“Wait, don’t you guys go to school?”

“No!” She shakes her head sideways.

I frown. But the report states that they go to school and the king is paying huge amount for their intuition fees.

“Why don’t you go to school?”

“Miss Diane said we are too smart to go to school”

“Who’s Miss Diane?”

“She’s our teacher!”

Could it be that it’s this Miss Diane that is the bad guy?

“Do you like it here? Does Miss Diane treat you well?”

She stays silent for a while but speak up.

“I like it here, but Miss Diane is wicked, I hate her… we all hate her!” She said.

Judging from her tone, you’ll know just how much she really hate whoever that Miss Diane is.

“Trixie, why do you hate Miss Diane?”

“She always beats us.. and scold us, we don’t speak, laugh or run around because she beats us anytime we do!”

I turn towards the other kids playing.

“Is that why those kids over there aren’t happy?”

She nods and then shake her head.

“They are happy but don’t want to make any noise.. Miss Diane will beat everyone if they do!”

This Miss Diane is definitely the bad guy.

“Have you….. ”

“Trixie!” Someone interrupts me.

I raised my head up and see a goddess of beauty standing in front of us… she’s so beautiful that I feel myself getting jealous.

More beautiful than Miss Damien! I wonder from where they get their beauty…she seem young..about Xander’s age.

“Trixie!” She call again.

Trixie gets up and jumps in her arms.

“Miss Connor!” She smiles brightly.

Judging from her smile, I knew that she likes this lady.

“Are you done with your math problem, I can help you now!”

“I have done it, Alexa helped me!”

Miss Connor nods.

“What did I tell you about strangers?”

Trixie doesn’t say a word..I guess she’s recalling whatever Miss Connor told her before

“But she knows prince Xander!”

“Hmm, go in,side, I’ll come get you later!” She said and puts Trixie down.

She waits until Trixie is out of hearing before turning to me.

“Who are you?” She asked me with a raised eyebrow.

“Alexa Dex!”

She furrows her eyebrows.. like she’s thinking.

“Royal spy’s family?”

“Yes!”

She nods.

“Trixie said you know Xander and I can perceive his scent on you.. you must be his mate!”

“Yes, I am.. who are you, please?”

She sits on the bench next to me.

“I’m Theresa Armando!”

I frown… Armando! Why do I feel like this name is familiar? I guess she saw my expression.

“I’m Connor’s twin, I believe you know him!”

I gasp.

“Connor have a twin?”

She chuckles lightly.

“You sound so surprise, I guess that brat doesn’t speak of me!”

“Honestly, he doesn’t!” I replied.

We both laugh… I am the first to sober up. My gaze fixed on the kids.

“I guess the alpha King finally gets my report!” She said.

I turn to her with a confused frown.

“Your report?”

“Yeah!”

I stare at her silently, wondering which one will be her report between the two reports.

“The one with the lowest amount of money is mine… I have being listening while you were talking with Trixie… I knew instantly that you came because of the report!”

I nod.

“Well, everything Trixie told you is true.. Diane is turning this orphanage into a prison for these pups!”

“Please explain what you mean clearly!”

She nods and takes a deep breath.

“Every pup you see here was once a happy and cheerful pup, but they turned into these puppets about a year ago”

She paused and stares at the kids intently.

“Diane wasn’t a caretaker here, it has always been aunt May, aunt lovely and I… but aunt Lovely died in a battle last year, that was when Diane was brought in to replace her… since then things change, she stopped the pups from singing claiming it’s giving her a headache.. she beats whoever disobey her.. she stopped their schooling, claiming she can teach them all they need to know!”

She paused and coughs lightly.

“Does aunt May know about this?” I asked.

“No, she instruct them to always laugh and act normal around aunt May… if they don’t, she’ll beat them… so aunt May doesn’t know of this!”

“Have tell all this to aunt May?”

“Yes, but she doesn’t believe me, she said Diana wouldn’t do anything like this… she so much believe Diane because Diane is her mate’s younger sister!”

So Xander is wrong about aunt May.. we shouldn’t have suspected aunt May.

“Who does the account here?”

“Diane, she always writes report that’s why she can write more than the initial amount aunt May calculates!”

“Then why haven’t you reach out to the king before?”

“I can’t leave the orphanage for even a minute or these kids will suffer… but I have been writing reports to the Alpha King’s office but somehow they don’t get to him… I’m surprised this one could get to him!”

Now I know why the orphanage seem so weird, it’s because there’s an evilness here.

“Aunt May don’t believe whatever I say, I have no choice but to let the alpha King know about this!”

“It’s not as if she don’t believe you, she believes you… She just doesn’t wanna believe that Diane could do something like this”

Theresa scoffs.

“She doesn’t believe me, even when I show her the report Diane writes”

“No, aunt May was just giving her some time to repent… but I guess not everyone deserves a chance for repentance!”

Theresa thinks about my words and nods in agreement.

“You’re right, please report this back to the alpha King, they should do something about Diane… Or these pups will be miserable for the rest of their lives here!”

“I will”

I got up… Finally my job here is done.

“Theresa, it’s nice to meet you!”

“Same here, I’ll be visiting home soon but that will be after something is done about Diane!”

I nod. I gave her a brief hug and thank her for the info.

“Please take me to the matron’s office!”

“Right this way!”

★★★★

“Xander, don’t forget to bring your mate to come visit me next time!” I hear aunt May tell Xander from her office.

Currently I’m standing outside her office… I turn to Theresa.

“Thanks, I wouldn’t have known Connor have a twin if I hadn’t met with you here!”

She laughs.

“Don’t worry, I’ll teach him a good lesson when I see him!”

“Yes, please do.. he deserves it!”

“Alright, Alexa, I should get back to the pups!”

I nod and she sl¡ps off in a rush. Just then, Xander comes out of aunt May’s office.. he smiles when he sees me and claims my l-ips in a short rough k-ss.

“Sorry, baby, I needed that!”

I rolled my eyes but smile.

“Did you get something from the playground?”

“Yeah, what about you?”

“Yeah! But let’s leave before aunt May comes and starts with her girlfriend problems!” He said and pulls me along without giving me any chance to speak.

To be Continued.

Theresa is finally in the picture! 🌹
