Blaze's POV
Days have passed and we really got used to living here on the island with our precious one. Summer also enjoyed some morning walks and laughed when his feet touched the sand.
I loved that priceless moment, hearing his giggles that were like music to my ears along with the soft laughs of his mom.
However, one morning, I woke up seeing Ayira beside me but my eyes widened when I did not see Summer in his crib.
“Where is Summer, Ayira?” I hurriedly asked her when I saw her open her eyes.
It has been 4 years since Summer was born. He grew up as an energetic little boy that he took after me. He was also fond of going outside, even a simple walk by the shore that I guessed he took after from his mom. However, as he grew up, he began to show that he was different from the other children he got along with. He was more mature and stronger than the other children of the same age as him. And that was what we were worried about. How could we explain to him our true identity? That we were different from human beings? By the time he was 3 years old, his special skills began to show.
Ayira's POV As agreed by everyone, we decided to go back to the villa in the mountains. We thought that Summer would ask questions about our sudden decision to move house like he used to do every time we would go out. But surprisingly, he was just quiet throughout our journey. And due to the long travel, he slept on my lap. However, as we reached the foot of the mountain, he suddenly screamed. "No!"
Blaze's POV The following morning, I went to the library and searched for my old books. I remembered I had a book about ancient wolves before. Perhaps, I could find some information there about Summer's power. I read almost everything that day while Summer and Ayira were busy with their lessons. Right. Ayira really loved teaching so she volunteered herself to be our son's tutor. That's why as early as two years old, Summer already learned the alphabet and basic counting. I was grateful for that because
We slowly made Summer understand what wolves were. Ayira told him stories about how she lived in the New Moon World when she was young. And we let him understand that we should be careful not to show to anyone in the human world that we were different from them. We also explained that grandpa was a human, not like us. But Summer was really intelligent. He asked us why was grandpa was living with us if he's a human. Good thing, he later understood that he was once a friend of my grandfather before the world was divided into two. However, there was one thing I was afraid about. It was Summer's intuition that his mom would leave us. It buzzed me almost every day as I knew the reason.
It was heartbreaking to see someone you love leaving with someone else. And because of that unfortunate event in the past, I suddenly felt I had no right to fight for her. And because of that event, she chose to leave me and her son just like that. I could accept if she resented me, it's understandable. But leaving her son didn't make sense at all, since I knew very well how much she loves our son. I looked at Ayira for the last time. Suddenly, I heard Marcus whisper. 'Blaze, after everything, you will just let her leave like that?'
Ayira's POV It was a brand new day. Blaze and Summer were busy playing video games. So I made myself busy in the kitchen. Then I checked the pantry and found out that we were running out of some supplies already. So I decided to go to the market. "Hi, mom. I will go to the market to buy some supplies. Do you have anything to add?" I asked when I saw her enter the kitchen. She thought for a while before she responded. "Oh, yes. I want to buy some ingredients to make a vegetable salad. But I think I'd be
Blaze's POV. Ayira and I agreed to visit Hina’s grave since it was her death anniversary. We also decided to take a trip to the island where Ayira stayed before to visit the townspeople there and her students. I could see in Ayira’s eyes the excitement of going back there. I would not wonder since she got really attached to the people on that island, especially to Hina. She took care of her when she was at her lowest. She fed her, offered her a place to stay, and treated her like her own family. We used my private yacht heading directly to the port near the island. While on our way, Ayira was telling Summer about her life on the island, including her experience as a teacher. Summer was listening attentively to his mom and would laugh from time to time about his mom's silly experience in teaching. It was already dark when we arrived at the hotel. We checked in immediately as we got hungry due to long travel. We had dinner at the restaurant in the hotel and went back to our room to
The 10-year-old Blaze came out of his room with an old book in his hands and ran to his mother, Aurora, in the living room.“Mama, I read this book and I got curious about nams (humans). It says here that we lived together with them in this world, but I think I had never seen anyone. What do they look like?” He asked his mother, who was busy knitting a scarf for him for the coming winter.“Os evo (My son), you’re really growing up now. You’ve been so curious about so many things.” His mother chuckled, placing down the yarn and needle on the center table. Then she continued, tapping the couch. “Kalih metas (Come here), I’ll tell you a story that was not written in that old book.”

My first two trimesters of pregnancy were really a challenge for us. I used to puke almost everything I ate and I felt like it was such a waste so I tried sleeping every after meal just to avoid throwing up the food I had eaten. And there came a point when I could no longer get out of bed because of my morning sickness. And because my pregnancy journey wasn't easy, Blaze decided to call his mom and let her stay with us until I gave birth to our beloved baby. His grandfather also came with Aurora since he was also excited to see his great-grandchild. But the good side of my pregnancy was, I felt how mu
