Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 151

Victor's POV

The sight of the orphanage put a smile on my lips. Holding Lauren's small hand in mine, we walked ha The shock face of the dean was the first thing that greeted us when the huge door opened. "Oh, goddess!" Missus Katrina uttered.

A hand covered the good woman's mouth as she looked at me with tears in her eyes. Before I knew it, Lauren was laughing beside me as she watched the whole thing unfold. It was her idea. I wanted to su The old woman pulled away. She was still unable to speak a word. Her eyes were looking at me up and "You're are not dreaming." I said with fondness. "I can really walk."

The woman wailed like a child as she wiped the tears that kept on falling on her beautiful face. Smiling, I wiped those tears away as I looked at her.

"I am better now."

The dean nodded. She sniffed and picked herself up before smiled widely.

"I never been so happy to see you back on your feet, Alpha Victor."

"You and me both." My mate agreed with an equally wider smile.

"Enough of your crying, Mrs. Katrina. All is well now." I eventually said, getting embarrassed by receivi "I know. This is a happy day, Alpha. Come on in, you two. Aside from me, there is one person that is ve We walked at the corridor threading in the direction of the playground.

"You knew?" I asked.

"I am old but I am not a fool, Victor." Gone was the emotional woman. With a brow raised, Mrs. Katrine Lauren has the louder laugh after the dean said that.

"Busted, eh?"

I chuckled at my woman.

hand towards the entrance.

ms were on my waist and her head was on my chest as she cried.

Mrs. Katrina watching me stand from the wheelchair but Lauren said otherwise. Tears were still descending on her face.

much attention from both women.

opy to see you." The older woman said in a much lively tone. "He's in the playground where he usually is."

ed at me. "You and the other boys have that hiding place."

"I did not remove it because some of the boys considered it as a safe place for them. Away from the seeing eyes of the older people and their friends. A place to rest their troubled minds." I released a deep breath. "Thank you."

The woman waved her hand in the air. "Don't mention it."

We halted walking when they reached the door to dean's office.

"I'll see you later, love birds."

Even from afar, I recognized the sole boy sitting in swing. No one was around except for him in the playground. Classes are ongoing at this time of the day.

Eli looked so little sitting there by himself.

I placed a couple of my fingers on my lips and blew. A whistle exited my mouth.

The little boy was startled. With a hint of fear on his face, he looked around him to find the person who whistled.

The alarm on his face dissipated when his eyes focused on me and Lauren. He immediately jumped from the swing and ran towards us.

"Alpha!" He screamed in joy.

He repeatedly called me while running. He even hopped a couple of times. All the while, a grin was plastered on his face.

Yet, the young boy stopped on his track when he was three meters away. His eyes were wide that I was afraid his eyeballs would pop out.

"You're standing!" He exclaimed.

"I am."

"You're standing." He repeated.

"He is." Lauren also answered with a chuckle.

"You're standing?"

"Is that a question, Eli?" I said with a laugh at the boy's recurring statement.

"You are really standing!" He hollered before he sprinted again.

Eli embraced his chubby arm on my thighs.

To prove him that not only I can stand, I am also healed and back to my stronger self, I pulled him up and threw him in the air and catch him again. I did it twice. The boy's laughter resonated in the place.

"Oh, my goddess, Alpha. You are healed and strong again." Eli voiced out when I put him on his feet again.

"Yes."

He turned to the silent but smiling woman on my side.

"You healed him as you promised, Luna."

"I did." Lauren admitted. "I promised you, didn't I? Alpha Victor is not meant to be on a chair, young man."

She tapped Eli's nose after she said that.

"Thank you, Luna. You made me very happy."

"Just doing my job, Sir." She saluted at Eli who smiled proudly. "I cannot allow the best warrior train under another alpha."

"That's right. I will be Alpha Victor's best warrior." Eli flexed his chubby arm.

Together, they marched to the swing that Eli vacated. The boy sat in one and held on the rope.

"Alpha Victor, pushed me up. I want to see beyond the walls."

"Hold on tight then. My Luna, you can have the other. I will push the both of you."

Lauren nodded. Just like Eli, she held on the ropes tightly.

My jaw started to hurt as the smile on my face remained. I barely smile much less laugh but whenever I am with these two people, happiness manifested in my heart that made my lips moved upward. I smile even wider I heard Eli and Lauren's laughter as pushed even harder.

"Higher!" The boy screamed followed by his giggles.

My heart is bursting with happiness.

This orphanage is my happy place. I am safe here like I did many years ago.

I turned to Lauren. My mate has her eyes closed as she raised her face in the sky.

The rays of the sun made her skin glow. The wind blew her hair and covered her face. She is very beautiful and I am a lucky man.

"Do it now."

I shook my head when Kent said that in my head.

My wolf is also watching our mate as we looked at the sight before us.

"Patience." I responded.

"Patience, my ass. There is no better time than now, Victor."

I breathed out. Between the two of us, my wolf was never patient.

Contemplating on my wolf's advice, I stopped pushing the swing that it slowly move to stop.

"That was fun." Lauren said when she pressed one foot on the ground.

She gathered her hair and combed it with her finger.

I watched her did the menial things with wonder. Whatever this woman is doing, it was fascinating in my eyes. The mere task of breathing, it made her even more beautiful.

"Are you alright, Victor?" I blinked my eyes. Lauren has her eyes on me. "Victor?"

I remained silent as I looked into her eyes that were looking softly at me.

"Hey."

"I love you." I pronounced.

Lauren sent her a smile. "I love you, too, my alpha."

I was about to drop a kiss on my woman's lips when giggles stopped me. I groaned in disappointment.

I almost forgot that there was a boy with us.

"Don't worry about me. I don't mind."

That earned a melodious laugh from Lauren. However, my disappointment disappeared when a kiss was pressed on my right cheek.

"Alpha Victor, deserved a kiss, Eli. He has been good boy." Lauren told him.

"I guess, you're right. He must have followed the doctor's order that made him heal from his injury." Eli said nonchalantly.

"He did."

"Well, you can kiss him again." Lauren chuckled. "But I heard that kisses will give you cooties." It was followed by a shrug.

"Oh? No more kisses then. I don't want to have cooties."

Watching Lauren interact with the boy made me imagine little kids around them with miniature image of both of them. It was by far a wonderful sight.

We can only have those little mini me and Lauren if I do the right thing. And I will do the right thing. Being with his best 'man' is the best time to do that.

I slowly inhaled a lungful of air.

"Lauren..."

I stopped mid-sentence when Lauren placed her opened palm between them. She pulled her mobile phone from her pocket.

I sighed as I watched her pressed a few keys on the phone. I straightened when a frown marred her pretty face.

"Lauren?"

"It's my grandmother." The woman said anxiously. "I need to call her. Excuse me."

Lauren stood up. She distanced a little as she pressed more keys on the phone before placing the gadget in her ear. Worry was all over her face as she waited for the person to answer on the other line. "We need to go. She's not answering the phone."

"Who was it?"

"It's my grandmother. She's not answering the phone."

"What happened?"

"I don't know."

I turned to Eli who was looking at us innocently.

"We have to go, Eli. Would it be alright if we leave you here?"

"I'll be fine, Alpha Victor. Just do what the adult things do."

"Thank you."

I messed the boy's hair before pulling Lauren away from the playground. We went straight to the parking lot as I composed a message to Mrs. Katrina that we have to leave due to an emergency. The driver immediately opened the door to the back when he saw us approaching.

"What happened?"

Lauren placed her other hand on her lap with the phone still attached on it. She was frowning.

"My grandmother is not answering my calls, Victor."

"What happened to her?"

"She sent me a message."

"Can I see it?"

I grabbed the phone when Lauren gave it to me. It was already in the inbox.

Grandma Anna

Come see me. Bring Victor. ASAP.

I looked at her and spoke firmly.

"Step on the gas. We need to see Lauren's Grandmother Anna."
