Starting school and settling in

George's Pov


The pride oozing off me could have knocked anyone over when my babies handled that situation like a seasoned professional. Before then Father and grand father were like a bunch of hulks watching their chicks. Father wasn't too happy I kept their identities a secret from him for so long. I just told him it was the surprise I had promised him. To say they were happy would be an understatement.


I introduced the kids and Mira to everyone. Josh surprised me the most, how he socialised with people older than himself and he even made a couple of friends. I was going to warn everyone about him being able to read their thoughts but decided against it at the last minute.


I knew he wouldn't want them to know what he was capable of. He would want to judge them for himself and also hear what they thought of him. I just hope they weren't saying bad things, because if they were, they'll have to face not only Josh but me.


"So, how does it feel?"  A distant relative of mine asked. His name is Laurent and he still haven't met his mate. We both were the cursed mate less ones until I found Mira.


"It's amazing Laurent, I'm sure you are feeling really crappy today since now you're alone on the mate less brigade."  I said smiling sadly at him. He just shrugged his shoulders.


"Listen Laurent, when the time finally comes for you to meet her, it will be worth the wait. Take me for instance, I sensed and smelt her first when I was seventeen but barely missed her.


Then met her again when I was thirty then she ran away from me. Until five years later I get to be with her." I said and he laughed.  "Now when I look back and look at her now, I'm happy to only be starting life with her now. We are both mature, and we are settled in life. You're only twenty nine and I'm sure you'd meet your mate soon." I said to him with all seriousness.


"My wolf thinks the same way. instead of me consoling him, he consoles me." I roared a laughter at that. We are meant to console our wolves but his was comforting him. So that was funny. Adrian joined us wanting to know what my laughter was about. When I filled him in, he couldn't stop laughing either. And that was how most of the night went. Us reminiscing old times.


"Adrian bring your little girl into the palace tomorrow. I'd like her to meet the kids for a play date or something. You know that thing kids do."  Laurent laughed this time around.


"That thing kids do?  How can you say that George? You seem to have forgotten what you were like as a kid."  Adrian nodded in agreement.


"Bring Lucy over so you could introduce her to Mira."  I added before I was dragged off by Yeon Ok.


"Father, do we really get to choose what school we wish to attend? Because after what happened with that 'little miss know it all' I'm not sure I'd like to go to the same school with her and her friends."


"Yes daughter, the choice is all yours to make. But how about tomorrow you visit the schools available in the areas around us to decide where you want to attend."  I told her and JinJoo nodded liking that.


"Yes father, that's a good idea, we like it." Geum said walking over.


"But we're going shopping with grandmother and great grand tomorrow".  Yeon Ok complained.


"Ok you go ahead and shop with mother and grandmother, whenever you're done, I'll take you to see the schools." There were chorused "YES"  so that settled that.


I took my family inside to show them around and have them choose their bedrooms. The east quarters housed princes usually but due to safety reasons, I had my princesses stay there as well. It was closer to mine and Mira's room. I just wanted all of them nearby.


They were happy with their rooms and that made mother happy. She had put in lots of efforts towards getting them settled in. After saying goodnight to them, I left Mira in our room to freshen up while I left to have a chat with my parents and gran. I signalled them to follow me into what we call he quiet room.


"So, what did you make of them?" I asked no one in particular. I saw the smile in all their faces.


"Oh I love them already, they are so cute and I'm already looking forward to taking them shopping." Grandmother said bouncing in her chair like a little girl.


"Me too, I love their hair. I'm already thinking of buying them lots of hair accessories." Ugh here we go.


"Joshua is not only intelligent, but also very powerful even though he's trying to conceal it. I could still feel it. And that's a lot of power coming from a fifteen year old."  Father said with seriousness.


"About that, father you have no idea how much he's capable of. And to think he's never had training. Just pretend you know nothing and you should be fine with Josh. I learnt that the hard way."


"And he's of royal blood." Grandfather said with a gravely sounding voice.


"My wolf said the same when I met him, but I thought he was a bit confused."  He growled at that but I just chuckled blocking him off.


"Well he is a fairy royalty indeed, and from the power he omits, I would place him at the top. He is either a prince or king. Just he's still young and doesn't know it yet."  Grandfather added.


I was really shocked and so was grandmother and mother. "Give him a title just like your kids, he should be referred to as Prince Joshua henceforth."  My wolf agreed and so did father.


What was going on? What was I not understanding? I was definitely missing something. These people have always been extremely cautious, so them asking this of me was surprising.


"Everything will fall into place soon son, and we'll get a better understanding at that time." Mother said.


"But the fairy royal family perished well over thirty years ago, and there was never a recount of them having a son. What we do know is they had a princess and they all disappeared. Until their corpse were found burnt in a vehicle. No one to this day other than the fairy council knows what happened."


Father said with a twinge of bitterness. The fairy king grew up with father, they were not only friends but also close allies. The last time father heard from him was when he called to say they just had a princess. And father had jokingly told him he wished I was mated to their daughter. Even though they knew the chances of that happening was next to none.


"Enough with the sad thoughts, mother the kids are going to check out what school they'd like to attend tomorrow. I was thinking you could take them shopping when we get back. It will give Mira time to work." I said heading for the door.


"Work? What does she do?"   They asked. And I laughed at that.


"She has several businesses, a construction company and farms in India and Africa. So she mostly works on her computer from home and attends to sign important deals."  I said proudly.


"That's interesting I could have swore I thought she was maybe a supermodel." Mother said and gran agreed with her. Nodding her head. "How is it she looks so good after five children? I'm jealous of her body."  Mother said pouting.


"Her sister, you'll never guess who she is. I'll give you a clue though, your favourite model mother. You once said put a sack on her and she would look just as gorgeous."  I said smirking.


Mother and grandmother's screaming almost burst my ear drums.  "You have got to be kidding. You don't mean Hye Sun. No that can't be."  At this point she was clapping her hands excitedly.


"Yes, that's the person. And she will be visiting once we are settled in. I was going to surprise you but I just couldn't help it." I told her. And she jumped on me hugging me.


My mother likes everything Hye Sun, she thinks she's humble, beautiful and lovely.  Which I agree with after meeting and getting to know her in person.  "She's Mira's closest friend and has always been there for each other since they were kids. And you know what mother? She's exactly what you thought of her."  That made her happy hearing she judged Amrita right.


"Invite her over soon, I hope she's mated to a wolf. So she gets to remain here when she visits. Does she have a boyfriend?"  Oh no I thought mother is already planning to match her up.


"She doesn't, she's still pure and waiting for her future husband."  She squealed when I said that. Her mind was all over the place thinking of who to set her up with and wedding.


"I have to escape while I still can, my mate is waiting for me." I told her running for the door.


"Son the priestess will be coming over tomorrow.  She couldn't come today because the moon goddess wanted to wait."  Father said. But I just waved them goodnight and ran to my Mira.


She was in her towel when I got to our room, hmm I was going to make sure we marked this place tonight and marking we sure did.  She passed out and I was really tired. So I kissed her goodnight.


Mira's Pov


I struggled to get out of bed the next day, not only was I really sore down below, I felt sick and tired. Argh George just has way too much energy. And I struggle to keep up with him. Don't get me wrong when I first married Nicholas we once had sex eleven times a day during our honeymoon.


But this was too much, I thought I was going to suffer an heart attack before I passed out. Yes that's what too much climaxing does to you.


"You are finally awake."  George said breaking me out of my thought. He was nicely dressed in a purple suit. And he also had his glasses on with his hair sleeked back. He brought in a tray of food.


"Have the kids woken up? What's the time anyway?" I said stretching my body.


"First the kids are awake, secondly it's three in the afternoon. We've been out and about already but now they are out with mother and grandmother."  I jumped up almost falling over when he said that.


"Why didn't you wake me up?" I said angrily.  "What sort of mother stays in bed while her kids are up?"


"The one that's tired and had a wild passionate night of love making, with her mate, their father, future husband and love."  He responded. Huff you just never win with him around.


"How did it go though? I mean what school did they decide on?"  I asked curiously.


"I managed to convince to attend this one close by rather than the one they wanted. Josh wouldn't have to be far away from them. Since he attends the big school down the raod. The only reason for them not wanting to go there was because of Eric's little girl and her cronies."  George said laughing.


"Why are you laughing? What happened?"  He only laughed more thinking.


"Oh just that when we got there, they were asked to take a test to see what level they were. The poor head teacher had not heard what happened the day before so he gave them something for four year olds since they said they were four."  I snickered knowing what was coming.


"So they got it done is seconds, they he thought giving the something a year up and the same thing happened, this continued until he gave them stuff for fourteen year olds. Only then did he realise the age on the question sheets." He said and we both laughed.


"Well he finally gave up and asked them to choose whatever grade they wanted. Guess what grade they chose?"  From the smirk on his face I knew what they had chosen but I shook my head.


"Our monsters, choose to be in the same class as Eric's girl.  I asked that the kids stay together, I didn't want to separate them."  I was happy with that. They drew comfort and happiness from each other.


"Thanks a lot George. I really appreciate what you did."  I told him honestly.


"Where is Josh? What did he make of his school?"  I know he's got very vivid mind .


"He actually liked his and he already met some kids yesterday at the welcome party, so it was nothing overwhelming for him. He's ahead of them knowledge wise as expected but he was fine with it. I even suggested giving him royal scholars to help him. And he was ok with having them at his disposal."


I couldn't hold it in any longer I just on George knocking over the pillows. He just chuckled.


Once showered and dressed, I had some food but my appetite was far wonderful. Karen came over to assist me with unpacking and putting away my clothes and shoes in my dressing room/closet.


I was introduced to Lucy who happens to be Adrian's mate.  I thought she was nice and sweet. Their little was in the same class as my kids. So there was someone they knew other than Eric's girl who I now know is called Magdalene but Maddy  for short.


Not long later the kids returned with several bags full on shopping, I couldn't wipe the grin off their grandmother's face even if I tried.  She looked so happy. So everyone was happy. I couldn't ask for more.
