The gathering was in full swing, the café filled with the buzz of laughter and clinking glasses. For the first time in what felt like years, I felt myself truly relaxing, letting go of the endless to-do lists and constant vigilance that came with parenting. My friends were in their element—Kenji cracking jokes, Rayle’s animated gestures nearly knocking over a cup of coffee, and Aoi rolling her eyes in mock exasperation at both of them.

I had missed this. More than I realized.

As the night wore on, the conversation ebbed and flowed, moving from lighthearted banter to deeper topics. It was Rayle, as expected, who brought the reflective mood to the table. Leaning back in his chair, he fixed me with a curious gaze, his face uncharacteristically serious.

“Haru,” he started, tilting his head, “do you ever miss your old life?”

The question hung in the air, a momentary lull settling over the group. Even Kenji paused mid-sip of his drink, his usual smirk replaced by a look of genuine in

    The air was cool and crisp as I made my way up the familiar path to Akira’s grave. Jiro walked beside me, steady and strong, his hand resting lightly on the small of my back as if to remind me he was there. Hibiki skipped ahead, holding Mina’s tiny hand, his voice soft as he told her some story about a brave warrior and his family. I couldn’t help but smile at the sight of them together, my heart swelling with a mix of pride and bittersweet nostalgia. The graveyard was quiet, save for the rustle of leaves in the breeze. It had been a long time since I’d been here, longer than I liked to admit. Life had swept me up in its currents, but now, as I stood before the simple gravestone bearing Akira’s name, all the years melted away. It felt like yesterday that we were kids, inseparable and full of dreams. I knelt down, brushing some leaves and twigs away from the stone. “Hey, Akira,” I said softly, my voice catching a little. “It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” Jiro crouched beside me, his p

  • One Night With An Alpha (Omegaverse Series #3) | SPG   Hibiki’s Fifth Grade Year

    Hibiki had grown so much over the years, and now, at the age of ten, his fifth-grade year was already shaping up to be one for the books. I couldn’t help but marvel at how quickly he was maturing. He had become such a thoughtful, charismatic, and capable young boy, and it was evident to everyone around him—teachers, classmates, even strangers—that he was special. He was quickly becoming the kind of student that teachers adored, the kind of kid that everyone loved to be around. As we sat at the kitchen table one morning, I watched Hibiki as he excitedly recounted his day to me and Jiro. He was wearing his school uniform, the same one he'd worn for years, but now it was starting to fit him a little more snugly. His body was growing, inch by inch, into the young man he would one day be. And I couldn’t help but be so proud. “Papa, I finished first in our math quiz today!” Hibiki beamed, a mixture of excitement and pride on his face. His eyes sparkled as he shared every detail. “And we d

  • One Night With An Alpha (Omegaverse Series #3) | SPG   Mina's Third Grade Year

    Mina had always been the quiet force in our family. While Hibiki was outgoing and athletic, Mina’s presence was soft, but no less impactful. She was just as intelligent as her brother, but where Hibiki had a boisterous, energetic spirit, Mina had a calm elegance about her that drew people in. Even at just eight years old, her demeanor was graceful, her smile warm, and her intellect sharp. She had this magnetic energy that made people want to be around her, but more than that, she made them want to be better people. When she entered third grade, it was clear that she was going to shine. Her classmates adored her, and it wasn’t just because she was smart—though, of course, her intelligence was undeniable. Mina was the kind of student who would finish her assignments with ease and still offer to help those around her. Teachers couldn’t help but praise her for being a model student, but it was her kindness and maturity that left a lasting impression on everyone she met. One day, as I wa

    It had been a while since we’d all spent some time together outside of the usual day-to-day routine. With school and work keeping us busy, Jiro and I decided that a family outing was overdue. We planned a day at the park—a chance to let Hibiki and Mina unwind and for the four of us to simply enjoy each other's company. Mina was the first to wake up that Saturday morning, excited about the day ahead. She bounded into the kitchen, her soft, flowing pajamas trailing behind her. “Good morning, Papa!” she greeted with her radiant smile. “What’s for breakfast? We need something energizing for the park!” I chuckled, tousling her hair. “Good morning, sweetheart. Pancakes and fresh fruit sound good?” “Yes, please! Hibiki will love that,” she said, already pulling out plates from the cupboard. Jiro walked in shortly after, Hibiki trailing behind him, half-asleep but clearly happy to have the day off from school. Hibiki yawned and flopped into his chair at the dining table. “You’re up earl

    Pregnancy the third time around was not what I expected. With Hibiki, everything had been new and overwhelming, and with Mina, I felt more prepared. But this pregnancy? It was as if my body had decided to throw all the rules out the window and keep me guessing. It started with the cravings. At first, they were manageable—sweet fruits, spicy noodles, the occasional chocolate binge. But as weeks went by, the cravings became more… unconventional. I found myself wanting things like green mangoes dipped in barbecue sauce or rice with crushed potato chips sprinkled on top. Jiro was the most patient and accommodating partner I could ask for, but even he had his limits. “Green mangoes and what?” he asked one evening, his brow furrowed in disbelief. “Barbecue sauce,” I replied, as if it were the most normal thing in the world. Jiro stared at me, then sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “Haru, I love you, but where am I supposed to find green mangoes at ten o’clock at night?” I pouted, c

  • One Night With An Alpha (Omegaverse Series #3) | SPG   Preparations and Parenthood

    As the pregnancy progressed, so did the excitement in our household. Mina and Hibiki had taken it upon themselves to prepare for the arrival of their sibling in their own unique ways. Mina would make adorable crafts for the nursery, while Hibiki, ever the protective older brother, studied baby books to make sure he could help when the baby arrived. One morning, I woke up to the sound of hushed voices coming from the kitchen. Curious, I waddled out of the bedroom, my growing belly leading the way. “Careful with that, Mina,” Hibiki was saying, his tone serious. “You don’t want to burn anything.” “I know, I know,” Mina replied, her voice a mix of determination and slight exasperation. When I peeked around the corner, I saw them standing on stools by the counter, carefully preparing a tray of toast and scrambled eggs. There was a small glass of orange juice and even a flower in a cup. “What’s going on here?” I asked, leaning against the doorway. Both of them jumped, spinning around

  • One Night With An Alpha (Omegaverse Series #3) | SPG   Welcome to the World

    The days leading up to the arrival of our third child felt like an endless mix of anticipation and preparation. Life in our household was a blend of excitement, nervous energy, and occasional chaos as we worked to get everything ready. Mina and Hibiki, now seasoned siblings, had been counting down the days with childlike enthusiasm. “I packed the baby’s blanket!” Mina declared proudly one evening, holding up her handmade creation—a small quilt she’d carefully stitched with Jiro’s help. It was endearingly uneven but filled with love. Hibiki, on the other hand, had taken a more practical approach. “I made a list of rules for the baby,” he said seriously, waving a sheet of paper. “Important Big Brother Rules, Papa. Rule number one: No crying after bedtime. Rule number two: Always listen to me.” I couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m sure your new sibling will appreciate your guidance, Hibiki.” Jiro, of course, was his usual calm and supportive self, quietly ensuring that the nursery was per

    The first few weeks after Ren’s arrival were a whirlwind. Our home, once filled with the controlled chaos of two growing children, now buzzed with the energy and adjustments that came with a newborn. Ren was the center of it all, his presence transforming the atmosphere in ways I hadn’t thought possible. The days seemed to blur together as Jiro and I fell into a routine. Mornings started early, with Ren’s cries waking us before the sun. Mina would rush into our room, her hair in a messy ponytail and her eyes bright with excitement. “Is it my turn to hold him, Papa?” she’d ask, climbing onto the bed. Hibiki usually followed, more reserved but equally eager. “I’ll check if his diaper needs changing,” he’d offer, already acting like the responsible big brother he was. Jiro and I would exchange amused glances, grateful for their enthusiasm but aware of how fleeting these moments could be. “One at a time,” I’d remind them gently. “Ren’s not going anywhere.” As the weeks passed, we beg

    The moment we stepped through the front door, the rush of warmth that came over me was more than just the physical heat of our home. It was the embrace of familiarity, of being home. I had missed this place more than I’d realized. The sound of our children’s voices filled the air before I could even take off my shoes, and I felt a lump rise in my throat as they ran toward us.“Papa! Daddy!” they called out in perfect unison, their voices full of excitement, joy, and love. The sight of Hibiki, Mina, and Ren rushing toward us was enough to make my heart swell in ways I couldn’t quite describe.I knelt down as fast as I could, trying to catch them all in one go. Mina, being the most affectionate of the three, immediately flung herself into my arms, wrapping her little arms around my neck and burying her face against me. I chuckled, holding her close as I breathed in her familiar scent. The warmth of her tiny body against mine was all I needed to feel complete.“We missed you so much, Pap

    It had been years since Jiro and I had taken a vacation just for the two of us. Life had been a constant whirlwind of work, family, and responsibilities. There was always something that needed attention, and as much as I loved our children, the routine had worn us both thin. So when Jiro suggested a quiet getaway, I jumped at the chance. A beach vacation, just the two of us. No kids, no work, just time to reconnect.As we sat in the taxi that was taking us to the airport, I couldn't help but feel a small pang of guilt. Hibiki and Mina were both old enough now to take care of themselves—Mina with her calm and mature demeanor, Hibiki with his protective nature as a big brother—but still, they were our children. Leaving them behind for a few days felt strange, even if we were leaving them in capable hands."You’re still worried, aren’t you?" Jiro said, his voice soft but knowing. He had always been able to read me so easily.I looked at him, offering a small smile. "A little. They’re gro

    The warmth of Jiro's presence lingered as I drifted into a peaceful sleep, my body finally giving in to the exhaustion that had been building up over the past few days. There was something comforting about knowing he was still awake, making sure everything was in order, while I let my mind wander into quiet oblivion. I woke up a few hours later to find the room dim, the soft glow of moonlight spilling through the large windows, casting gentle shadows across the room. The house was silent, the only sound being the occasional rustle of the wind outside. For a brief moment, I couldn't remember where I was, disoriented by the unfamiliar stillness. But as my senses returned, I realized I was in our shared bedroom—safe and secure, just the way I liked it. Jiro was no longer sitting in the chair, but I could hear the faint sound of footsteps outside, followed by a muffled voice. It sounded like he was checking on the kids. I smiled to myself, knowing that his love for our family was as con

    The house had fallen into a peaceful quiet, the kind that only comes when the day has ended and everyone is tucked away in their respective rooms. The usual hum of energy, the laughter, and the occasional bickering had all faded, leaving just the soft ticking of the clock and the distant sound of a night breeze rustling through the trees outside. Jiro and I were in the living room, alone for the first time in what felt like hours. It had been a busy day, filled with the hustle and bustle of family life, and now, as Ren fell asleep in his room, it was just the two of us. A rare luxury these days. I was curled up on the couch, a soft blanket draped over my legs. Jiro, ever the picture of effortless strength, was sitting in the armchair opposite me, his body still, but his eyes not leaving me for a second. There was something about the silence that stretched between us—comfortable, yet somehow full of unspoken thoughts. “Everything’s quiet now,” Jiro said, his voice low and calm, the

  • One Night With An Alpha (Omegaverse Series #3) | SPG   The Promise of Responsibility

    The decision weighed heavily on my mind. The evening had fallen into a quiet stillness, the kind where every little movement seemed to echo. The kids were waiting in the living room, looking at me with those expectant eyes. They were so eager, so sure of themselves. The promise of freedom—the promise of a trip where they could explore and grow, just the four of them—was something they were all craving. And yet, part of me still hesitated. I had spent years watching over Hibiki and Mina, making sure they were safe from the world. I had been there for them in their moments of need, guiding them with a gentle hand, protecting them from the dangers that life could throw their way. But now, they were growing up. They weren’t the small children who needed constant supervision anymore. They were capable, strong, and ready for challenges of their own. Hibiki, my eldest, was already showing the world that he was becoming a man in his own right, not just an Omega, but a responsible and strong

  • One Night With An Alpha (Omegaverse Series #3) | SPG   The Field Trip Request

    The morning sun had just begun to spill through the windows, casting a warm glow across the living room. It was a quiet, peaceful Saturday, the kind of morning that held a promise of relaxation. Jiro was still upstairs, likely working on some paperwork for the company, and the kids—Hibiki and Mina—were in the kitchen, arguing over what they should have for breakfast. I stood in the hallway, listening to their usual banter, a smile tugging at the corner of my lips. As much as they could drive each other crazy, it was clear that they were as close as ever, always there for one another in their own little sibling way. I took a sip of my tea, feeling the warmth spread through me, and settled into my usual spot on the couch. I had been looking forward to a quiet day with the family, a chance to relax and maybe take a walk in the park later. But little did I know that today was going to bring an unexpected request. Hibiki was the first to appear in the living room. His black hair was stil

  • One Night With An Alpha (Omegaverse Series #3) | SPG   A New Beginning

    The air had a crispness to it that morning, the kind that hinted at the approaching shift of seasons. Summer was slipping away, its warmth receding into the past, and autumn was slowly unfurling its golden hues across the horizon. It was the kind of day that felt both reflective and hopeful, a perfect backdrop for the next chapter of our lives. Jiro and I were standing in the kitchen of our house, the space full of warmth and the scent of freshly brewed coffee. The kids had already eaten breakfast and were getting ready for the day ahead. Hibiki, now in his second year of high school, was making sure his fencing gear was packed and ready for the upcoming competition. Mina, in her third grade, was drawing pictures of planets—her latest obsession was the stars and space exploration. And Ren, ever the curious little one, was running around the house, asking a million questions per minute, his boundless energy never seeming to tire. I watched all of them for a moment, feeling a deep sen

  • One Night With An Alpha (Omegaverse Series #3) | SPG   A Night Under the Stars

    There was something about the rest house deep in the woods that always brought a sense of peace to our family. It was one of those places where time seemed to slow down, where the weight of the world could be set aside, if only for a little while. The house itself was cozy, nestled between towering trees that surrounded it like silent guardians. A large stone fireplace stood in the living room, crackling with warmth as we gathered around, the smell of pine and earth heavy in the air. We had come here for a weekend getaway, a rare chance for all of us to just be together without the distractions of the city, without the pressure of work, school, or responsibilities. Jiro had insisted on this trip—something about needing to reconnect with the simple joys of life. I could see it in his eyes; the weight of his corporate world had been taking a toll on him lately, and this was his way of hitting the reset button. Of course, the moment he mentioned it, the kids were all for it. Hibiki, Min

    As the days went by after Mina’s manifestation, I couldn’t help but notice the subtle changes in her. There was a quiet shift in the way she carried herself, a confidence that blossomed from deep within her. I had always known Mina to be the calm, composed, and intelligent child, but now she exuded a different kind of strength—one that came with the acceptance of who she truly was. However, despite her calm demeanor, I couldn’t ignore the tension that seemed to creep into the air whenever she was around others. It was something I noticed not only in her but also in Hibiki, her older brother. Hibiki had always been protective of his younger sister, but now, after her manifestation as an Omega, his protectiveness had grown tenfold. It wasn’t just that he wanted to keep her safe. It was something deeper, something innate in his very being as a Dominant Alpha. As his younger sister, Mina was now seen by other alphas in ways they hadn't before, and while that fact made her uncomfortable,
