Filed To Story: Falling for the Alpha As a Student Novel
I was exhausted and I had no idea how I was going to get through today.
Within the half-hour, Rachel was knocking on my front door. When I called for her to come in, she stepped inside and waved the brown paper bag in the air.
“I got some fever reducer,”
she said as she glanced down at Asher. “Awe is this our patient?”
She knelt beside him and touched his head; her frown deepened. “Yikes.”
I nodded as I sat beside Asher on the couch and took the bag from her.
“Thanks,”
I breathed as I took out the medicine. “I owe you.”
“Don’t even worry about it,”
she said, waving me away.
“Auntie Ray!!!”
Cooper yelled as he ran into the living room. ‘
Rachel smiled as she opened her arms and Cooper flew into them.
“Hey little Coop,”
she chuckled at the nickname she had given him.
“I just had panny cakes,”
Cooper announced proudly.
Rachel’s eyes widened and she gave him a fake shocked look.
“Panny cakes?”
She gasped. “I am so jealous!”
He beamed happily, making me chuckle.
Rachel looked up at me and gave me a soft smile.
“Are you ready for today?”
She asked.
A knot formed in my stomach at the thought of today, but I managed to nod.
“Nervous, but yes. I’m ready,”
I answered. “How about you?”
“I’ve been ready for the last 4 years,”
she chuckled, running her fingers through her dark brown and highlighted hair.
Rachel was the kind of person who changed her hair color every week and this week she had blue highlights. She could pull off any color and she always wore appropriate clothes that brought out the color of her hair.
We talked for a little longer before she stood and sighed.
“I should go; I need to get ready for this afternoon. If you need anything else, call me.”
“I will, thank you again,”
I said as I waved at her.
She was gone shortly after.
While both boys seemed to be preoccupied and Asher no longer looked miserable, I decided it was best if I went to take a shower.
I only took a quick shower, not wanting the boys to be left alone for too long. I wore a simple sundress and tied my hair into a ponytail at the nape of my neck. The closer time got, the more nervous I was feeling.
“I’m feeling better, mommy,”
Asher said as I walked into the living room.
I smiled at him.
“I’m so glad sweetie. Are you hungry now?”
I asked him, but before he could answer there was a knock on the door.
I already knew who it was before I opened the door.
“Where’s my grandchildren?”
My mom asked as she ran into the house past me.
“Grammy!!!”
Both Asher and Cooper cheered.
I chuckled as I turned to my father who was walking in behind her.
“Hey, Lila Bean,”
he said, wrapping me in a tight hug.
“Hey, Dad,”
I breathed, hugging him back tightly.
Once he released me, he went to greet the twins with my mother.
Soon, Corrinne and Flynn were walking into the house. They were silent and giving one another dirty looks so I knew they’d been fighting. I was dreading the day that Asher and Cooper stopped getting along.
“Brianna is already there with Beta Ethan, Aiden, and Donovan,”
my mom said after she finished pinching both boys’ cheeks. “Are you about ready to go?”
I took a deep breath before nodding.
“Yes, I’m ready,”
I said nodding.
“I can’t believe our daughter is graduating college,”
my father said, wrapping me in another hug. “It’s a big day.”
I smiled; he was right, it was a big day. Today was the day I graduated and my life with my family can finally begin.
Lila’s POV
“Today marks a new beginning. It is a chance to redevelop ourselves and tell the universe the kind of people we want to be. Today marks our many successes and our many failures. A chance for us to screw up and then redeem ourselves. A chance for us to fall in love all over again. Today is not the end. Today is the beginning.”
I paused my speech as everyone clapped.
“If these last few years had taught me anything, it’s that nothing is impossible. We have what it takes to make anything happen. We are the future generation of this world. We are finally graduates!”
Everybody cheered and whooped, making me chuckle.
When Headmaster Prescott told me that I needed to write a speech for the graduation ceremony, I was terrified but excited at the same time. I was finally able to give my final piece to the school. I had been through a lot while being a student here; I met my mate and made incredible friends. I faced many challenges, and I gave birth to my amazing baby boys.
I’m excited about where this future is going to take us.
My gaze wandered over to my mother who stared up at me, hanging onto every word I spoke. She had tears wedged in the corners of her eyes, but she had a wide and radiant smile on her lips.
I glanced at Brianna who was seated beside Beta Ethan with her arm wrapped around his. Seated on Ethan’s lap was their 1-year-old daughter, Kayla.
As my speech concluded, I stepped away from the podium as Prescott joined me on stage.
“What a wonderful speech, Lila. Thank you,”
she said into the mic.
Everybody started cheering and clapping for me. I felt my face warm from the attention. But I smiled and gave a nod as I turned and began to walk off the stage.
